Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji, the eighth son of Nurhachi, the father of Emperor Shunzhi, the grandfather of Emperor Kangxi, and his own profession is also the emperor.
The official historical materials of the Qing Dynasty describe him as good at horseback riding and archery, like to read classics, tireless, benevolent and filial, tolerant and generous, handsome in appearance, and extremely intelligent. It's all full of praise. That's right, which descendant would ask the historian to write that his grandfather was not good-looking and bald?
In the first year of the Mandate of Heaven, Taizu Nurhachi sealed the Emperor Taiji as Heshuo Beyler, and was called the Four Great Beylers together with the Great Beyler Daishan, the Second Beyler Amin, and the Third Beyler Mang Gurtai. He was last of the four and was known as the Four Baylors.
Nurhachi once wanted to make his eldest son Chu Ying the prince, but Chu Ying did a lot of things against his father's will behind Nurhachi's back, and even wanted to pull Huang Taiji with him. Did Huang Taiji do things with his eldest brother?
Huang Taiji exposed Chu Ying to Nurhachi.
After the death of Taizu Nurhachi, the position of heir has been vacant. The Great Bel Daishan and his sons Yue Yu and Sakhalian thought that Huang Taiji's talent and virtue were unmatched (God knows if Huang Taiji was doing his work in private), so they consulted with the other Baylors and asked him to inherit the throne. Huang Taiji repeatedly refused, and finally agreed.
Is this to be an emperor, so embarrassed, so unwanted?
On the first day of the ninth month of the ninth month of the 11th year of the Mandate of Heaven, he ascended the throne in Shenyang. The edict is that next year will be the first year of Tiancong. At the beginning, when Taizu named him, he took it at random, and later learned that the Han people called the crown prince "crown prince", and the Mongolian successor was called "Huangtaiji", with similar pronunciation. When he ascended the throne, everyone thought it was providential.
It can be seen that as long as a person is in a position and successful, among the people around him, there will be someone who can speak well enough to smile and say "This is the will of God".
After Huang Taiji became the emperor, he clearly knew that the imperial power and wealth were mine, but the work had to be done by someone. It's a thing, but you can't say it directly.
On the first day of the tenth month, Huang Taiji swore to heaven and earth that he would do the right thing, observe etiquette and righteousness, urge fraternity, be faithful to his duties, and encourage all the great Baylors, that is, his brothers, to work hard and work hard.
After brainwashing his relatives, Huang Taiji began to appease the people.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Taiji ordered that those who fornicated with the enemy and spies of Han officials and civilians could be punished lightly or not prosecuted if they surrendered, but the fugitives who had already been arrested would be sentenced to death.
On the fifth day of the first month, he ordered: "Construction will affect agriculture, and in the past, the construction of city walls and border defenses was needed to defend the city, and it was really a last resort to work and lose money and labor." In the future, only the dilapidated ones will be repaired, and no new ones will be built, so that the people can concentrate on farming.
Manchurians and Han Chinese should not discriminate against each other, and litigation and forced labor should be fair. Baylor's subordinates were not allowed to hunt on the frontier. The municipal tax is the state's fund, which allows trade **, and those who go abroad without permission and evade taxes are punished. ”
On the seventh day of the first month, he ordered the Han Chinese and the Manchurians to live separately. In the past, the thirteen strong men of the Han people were a Zhuangzi and were slaves to the Manchu officials. At present, only eight people are left in each Zhuangzi, and the rest are all organized into private households, assigned to other Zhuangzi, and selected and honest Han officials to manage them.
As a Manchu chieftain, he did not follow the example of the Yuan dynasty in "treating the people of different nationalities differently in the law, and the Mongols enjoyed legal privileges," nor did he classify the Han as inferior as the Mongols did. Huang Taiji launched the national policy of "participating in the Han Dynasty and drinking gold", drawing on the Han nationality and combining it with the Jurchen people.
Under the guidance of the principle of "participating in the Han Dynasty and considering money", Huang Taiji gradually established the first administrative organs--- the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry, which not only dispersed the political power in the hands of the Minister of Parliament, but also strengthened the centralization of Huang Taiji's power.
How shrewd is the person who can become the emperor, he can not only assign the work, but also win the hearts of the people, and the work is almost done, right?
This is how simple it is to be an emperor. (To be continued).
