Chapter 620 Voting for the Hat King
The Qing Dynasty cannot live without a hat king. This is the consensus of the princes and ministers in Beijing.

Because this is the ancestral system, and it is also necessary for the distribution of power.

Originally, there were eight hat kings in the Qing Dynasty, and there were three inherited from the Prince of Li Daishan lineage. One was the lineage of Prince Kang (the branch of Prince Li); Kedhun family).

The hat king inherited from the Daishan line controls the two red flags.

The line of Prince Xian, inherited by Taizong's eldest son, Prince Su Haoge, is the owner of the Xiangbai Banner.

The lineage of Prince Jian, inherited by Prince Zheng Jierhalang, is the owner of the Xianglan Banner.

The lineage of Xinjun Wang, inherited from Prince Yu's Duoduo lineage, is the head of the Zhenglan Banner.

In addition to the line of Prince Heshuoyi who was canonized during the Yongzheng period, and the line of Prince Zhuang who was converted by Yongzheng, these eight hereditary princes formed the Qing Hat King Committee.

In the palace chaos incident, a total of five families were devastated.

They are Prince Kang's Mansion, Prince Xian's Mansion, Prince Jian's Mansion, Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and Prince Pingjun's Mansion inherited from King Keqin.

Prince Kang Yongen, Prince Zhuang Yongzhen, Prince Jian Feng Naheng, and Pingjun Wang Qingheng died in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while Prince Xian Yunzhu was killed in his own palace.

Among the five families, Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Prince Jian's Mansion, and Prince Xian's Mansion, including Prince Pingjun's Mansion, were executed again, and Prince Dukang's Mansion was able to escape.

The ones that were not affected were Prince Yi's Mansion, Xinjun Prince's Mansion and Shuncheng Prince's Mansion.

The reason is that during the palace chaos, Prince Yi Hongxiao did not respond to the call of Prince Jian and Prince Zhuang to enter the palace, but became a turtle at home.

The king of Shuncheng County, Hengchang Palace, was not in the capital during the turmoil, but went to worship the mausoleum outside the pass according to Qianlong's order. When he came back, the dust had settled.

Xinjun Wang Chunying was safe and sound, of course it was related to his brother-in-law.

Jia Jiashi still misses family affection.

Facts have proved that the power struggle must be fast and chaotic, because only if it is chaotic and fast can the opponent be unable to react, otherwise once the situation is clear and stabilized, many people will recall it and then propose personal power. Require.

This is the situation in Beijing now.

Prince Heng Hongzhang, Prince Yujun Lianghuan, and Prince Hejun Mianxun, who did not participate in the palace rebellion, but gained the leadership of the Lower Five Banners Manchuria through the palace rebellion, recruited a group of clans including Prince Yi Hongxiao, who originally did not want to mix right and wrong. With his own influence, Fu Lehun and Sehentu, who were eager to stabilize the situation and controlled the court, launched many negotiations.

In a series of negotiations, none of the princes, county kings, or Gushan Baylor mentioned what the emperor should do.

The reason is that the clan hated Qianlong, including his Ama Yongzheng.

Except for Prince Yi's lineage, the hatred of Yongzheng and his sons in the lineage of the holy grandfather is so unforgettable that it is not enough to describe.

This is also the reason why Jia Liuan left Beijing, thinking that even if Qianlong still had secret forces lurking secretly, it would not be possible to shake the sky in the short term.

Before the Big Three, the biggest enemy of the fourth devil was Aixinjueluo.

He has been on the throne for 40 years, and it can be said that he has spared no effort to suppress the Aixinjueluo clan.

If it is said that during the Yongzheng period, the clan could still participate in politics and have some influence on the court, then the Qianlong Dynasty, whether it was the hat king or the clan, was probably a mascot.

To put it bluntly, the chaos in the palace was not accidental, but inevitable.

The reason why Prince Jian, Prince Kang, and Prince Zhuang dared to lead troops to force the palace was because the clan was suppressed to the extreme.

The descendants of the Kangxi princes who had participated in the imperial concubine were also the most active in the palace chaos. If Jia Liu and Master Se hadn't suppressed it in time, what would have happened in the Forbidden City.

It's a pity that these clans are the pioneers of the king and have become cannon fodder for a third party.

Having said that, if the princes and clans hadn't taken the risk, Jia Liu wouldn't have benefited so much from the chaos in the palace.

Therefore, I am very grateful to the group of Aixinjueluo.

It wasn't that they danced happily, Jia Liu might not be digging Kangxi's grave in Dongling, how could he have the chance to become the youngest minister of the Qing Dynasty.

In the beginning, he was just making rumors casually.

That is, regardless of whether there is a date or not, it is best to hit two shots first.

Unexpectedly, these two strokes exposed Qianlong, a paper tiger.

History is so random.

According to the news from Beijing, the question now revolves around whether the hat king is seven or nine.

The three original hat kings, Prince Yi, Prince Xin and Prince Shuncheng, must be retained, and a newly promoted Prince An who is a lord.

The old Twelve Yongzheng, who was supported by Lao Fu wholeheartedly as the crown prince, was conferred the title of Prince He Shuoli by Lao Fu Jiaozhao. In this way, there are now five hereditary and irreplaceable princes in Beijing.

Although Qianlong's fourth son, Yongxuan, is also a prince, he is not the hat king. In addition, he is regarded as the hat king by the old rich, and he has no personal freedom. Naturally, he has no right to speak, which means he loses the qualification to compete for the hat king.

Lao Fu did not break his promise. In March, he asked the National History Museum to recompile the history of the deeds of the three kings in the early days of the country, and set about restoring the titles of the three kings in the early days of the country.

Firstly, he didn't want to break his promise to the good brother Liu Zi. After all, the good brother Liu Zi returned the control of the capital to him and went to Baoding honestly to take office.

Secondly, it is also a political need.

In the early days of the country, the three kings were not from the lineage of Taizong, and had many historical grievances with the lineage of Taizong. Therefore, restoring the inheritance of the titles of the three kings would help the old rich suppress the inheritance of the lineage of Taizong.

At the same time, it can also get the praise and support of the descendants of Duduo and Azig.

Why would he not do things that benefit others and himself?

Now it is basically certain that, after several meetings and discussions by the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of Rituals, Prince Xin, Jia Liu's eldest brother-in-law, Chunying, will inherit the title of Prince Yu of Duoduo.

Although Dorgon's title of Prince Rui and Azige's title of Prince of England must be selected from among the descendants of Duduo and Azige, there is a consensus on Dorgon's side, that is, from Dorgon who was adopted to Dorgon. One of Bo (Duoduo's five sons) was selected to succeed him, but there were too many people competing for the title of Prince of England in Azig, including [-]% recommended by Jia Liu through Asiha, Minister of Officials, and Quini, Minister of Rites.

Due to too many competing candidates, there is no way to determine for the time being.

It's not that old Fu and Uncle Se are unwilling to give face to the six virtuous brothers, but that there are indeed many considerations.

In addition, Prince Heng Hongxuan, Prince Yujun Lianghuan, and Prince Hejun Mianxun proposed hereditary replacements, that is, they were promoted to Prince Heshuoheng, Prince Heshuoyu, and Prince Heshuohe respectively.

All three of them wanted to be the king of hats, but Lao Fu and Mr. Se definitely disagreed. They only wanted Prince Heng Hong to be promoted to king of hats. The two county kings could restore their ancestors' titles of princes, but they could not be hereditary.

According to what Old Fu Hese said, there are seven hat kings.

But Liang Huan and Mian Xun insisted on competing, so there would be nine.

Whether it is eight or nine is a matter of great contention.

In addition, who will serve as the five banner masters of Manchuria under the Five Banners is also the key to the competition among various forces.

"If it doesn't work, let's vote."

After reading A Siha's secret letter, Jia Liu, who was leading people to the sea, put down the small shovel in his hand, rubbed his head with a headache, and asked Shuan Zhu to write a letter to A Siha, who proposed to discuss the princes and ministers in Beijing , Minister above, foreign governors, and capital commanders who meet the requirements all go to Beijing to participate in the hat king voting meeting.

It can be regarded as a democratic experiment for the Qing Dynasty. If it works, the emperor will be voted for in the future.
