Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 474 The black-hearted prince sleeps on the dragon bed! (Please subscribe, please vote)

When Chang Ning came over, Queen Yang was looking down at Kangxi's "posthumous edict" that had been sent to Dongping Prefecture the day before. It was written by Kangxi before he evacuated from the Jiehe front line, in order to prevent himself from unexpected events. There was a power vacuum in the Qing court and was usurped by powerful ministers. of.

According to this edict, if Kangxi really died, Baoqing, the prince born by Empress Yang, would ascend the throne as emperor, and Empress Yang would be the empress dowager to oversee politics until Baoqing reached the age of 22 - both Kangxi and Shunzhi were in their teens. Emperor Kangxi took over the throne, but Kangxi allowed Empress Yang to remain in power until Baoqing reached the age of 22, which can be regarded as letting Empress Yang have enough "queen addiction".

Before the Qing Dynasty took over, Empress Dowager Yang would have sole power. All land and military under the Qing emperor's jurisdiction, that is, directly under the jurisdiction of the Qing court, would be controlled by Empress Dowager Yang.Therefore, all the auxiliary ministers are appointed by Empress Dowager Yang!

After Bao Qing came to power, the bodyguards and army were still under the control of Queen Mother Yang. All the ministers, chamberlains, imperial ministers, imperial guards, and bodyguards in charge of the bodyguards were appointed and dismissed by the Queen Mother!

If he is not filial to protect the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Yang can abolish him and establish another one, regardless of whether he is pro-government or not!
To sum up, Kangxi's edict stated that after his death, everything in the Qing Dynasty was handed over to Yang Xiaomi. Even after Prince Baoqing took charge, the imperial guard system of the palace was still controlled by Empress Dowager Yang.Empress Dowager Yang could even use the imperial guards and Kangxi's edict to abolish Baoqing and establish a new king!

This power is so great that in the world of queen mothers, only Empress Lu and Wu Zetian can match it, right?

However, for the current Qing Dynasty, which was in turmoil, such a queen mother who firmly held the remaining imperial power in her hands was absolutely necessary.Even if she had the ambition to be "Yang Zetian" for a time, it would be better than letting Ming swallow up the Qing Dynasty.
For Empress Yang, what Kangxi threw to her was not only the highest power of the Qing Dynasty, but also a heavy burden that she could not bear alone!

Yes, behind her is a powerful Yang family's warlord, chaebol, and foreign relatives group - a group with three characteristics, it is a warlord, a chaebol, and a foreign relatives!
At Yang Qilong's position, are you really willing to live under others for a long time?Even if the person standing on his shoulders is his biological sister. So how to stabilize Yang Qilong and let Yang's relatives support the Qing Dynasty is the first problem Yang Xiaomi has to solve.

In addition to the Yang Group, Prince Gong Chang Ning is also difficult to deal with.Chang Ning has always been greedy for her body and is not very smart, so he is relatively easy to coax.But following the lessons learned from Dorgon in the Qing Dynasty, who else is willing to be the regent?No matter how much he serves as the regent, he can't possibly surpass Dorgon Duama, right?What will happen to Doama?After death, the corpse was whipped and the bones were bruised and ashes were thrown away. The end was miserable.

You asked Chang Ning to let the emperor go and not be the regent. Is this possible?This is impossible!

But if Chang Ning is allowed to become the emperor, can Yang Qilong agree?

If Yang Xiaomi becomes a powerful queen mother, Yang Qilong may take a step back and become a general with real power. He may even hide back in North Korea and control the Qing court.

In this way, he can advance or retreat. If the remaining strength of the Qing Dynasty can still maintain the strength of the Northern Qing Dynasty, then he can go a step further and become the second Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

If the Qing Dynasty cannot be saved, Yang Qilong can still be the king of Yang's Korea, or simply take a step back and go to the New World to establish a Sui Lijian.

But if Prince Gong Chang Ning becomes the emperor, even if Yang Xiaomi continues to be the queen, then what does Yang Qilong mean?When Kangxi became emperor, he became the uncle of the state. After Kangxi died, he was still the uncle of the state. So wouldn't Kangxi's death be in vain?

Moreover, Prince Gong Chang Ning's ability may be much worse than that of Kangxi. If Yang Qilong wants to support Chang Ning with financial resources, then he will have to pay more than what he spent to support Kangxi before!
What is he drawing?
Continue to be an uncle?He is also the uncle of the Ming Dynasty!Although Zhu Cijiong has his first wife, his sister Yang Ziyun and Concubine Yang Guifei are loved by three thousand people!

In addition, Yang Xiaohuan is also Li Zhongshan's favorite concubine.

This is double insurance!
Therefore, without the Qing Dynasty or even the Ming Dynasty, he would still be the uncle of the country and could still be the king of Korea and the commander-in-chief of the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, once Chang Ning becomes emperor, Yang Qilong will most likely stay out of it.

Yang Xiaomi was thinking about how she would comfort Chang Ning, who wanted to be the emperor if Kangxi was really gone. Chang Ning came and brought the bad news that "the emperor is gone". He also asked a question Very ambiguous question!

Yang Xiaomi quickly put away Kangxi's edict, then sat uprightly on a throne, looking at the door of the hall anxiously.

When Chang Ning walked into the door of Yang Xiaomi's dormitory, the excited smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a sad and sad expression. When he appeared in front of Yang Xiaomi, his eyes were twinkling. Tears fell.

Alas, it is so sad that the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Queen will soon belong to him!

"Prince Gong, what did you say?" Yang Xiaomi's voice sounded a little trembling, which really made Chang Ning's heart melt.

"Sister-in-law," Chang Ning wiped her tears to make herself look less happy, "Kong Sheng of Qufu voted for Li Zhongshan, and he cooperated with Bao Ming to attack the emperor's defeated army. In addition, there are rumors that Obai Father and daughter also participated in the Qufu Revolution!"

"Ah" Yang Xiaomi looked horrified, "Obai is still alive?"

Chang Ning nodded: "She's probably still alive. I heard that Obai's daughter even assassinated the emperor!"

"Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away?"

Chang Ning shook his head and nodded: "Obai's daughter failed to assassinate, but the emperor fled Qufu and was ambushed by the Ming army on the way to Dongpingzhou! According to reports from Tanma, the emperor's entire army was defeated, tens of thousands of people He was chased and killed by the Ming army. The emperor himself may have died! Sister-in-law, you are no longer the emperor, what will we do in the future?"

As he spoke, Chang Ning approached Yang Xiaomi with a concerned look on his face, and then sat down next to his sister-in-law.Yang Xiaomi didn't mean to hide away, and the uncle and sister-in-law just sat on the "dragon bed" together.When Chang Ning saw Yang Xiaomi's performance, he moved the palm of his right hand to Yang Xiaomi's waist and quickly copied it. It felt good!
Although Yang Xiaomi has given birth to five children for Fuquan and Kangxi, she still maintains a good figure.She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has developed a habit. She also likes riding horses and running very much, so she does a lot of exercise on weekdays. In addition, she is not very old. She is only in her early thirties and is not easy to gain weight. age.

After "examining" Yang Xiaomi's waist, Chang Ning's palms moved upward again
Yang Xiaomi still didn't stop Chang Ning.

Although her temperament is a bit "watery", she is not completely unruly.She and Chang Ning are just "soul mates" and have not developed to the point of "the black-hearted prince sleeping on the bed of a dragon".

But now Kangxi is about to die. This probability is very high. Kangxi even prepared the edict for Queen Yang, so he must be in great danger!

When Kangxi conquered the Western Regions, he did not leave the same edict to Yang Xiaomi.

And once Kangxi is gone, if Yang Xiaomi wants to stabilize the mess he left, she must get along with Chang Ning. Engaging in bed politics is a must. She must let Chang Ning support Bao Qing, and then use Chang Ning's power to balance Yang Qilong's power. Only the Qing Dynasty's plates can be stable.

If Chang Ning quits, even if Yang Qilong returns to North Korea, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to survive, even if Yang Qilong doesn't talk about staging a coup in Beijing.

For this reason, Yang Xiaomi put a green hat on Kangxi. It must be understandable for Kangxi's dead ghost.

After a while, Chang Ning's hand finally calmed down, and the palm of his right hand returned to Yang Xiaomi's waist, which was neither thick nor thin, and rested there, not intending to "leave".

Yang Xiaomi sighed: "Sister-in-law can give you anything, but this is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

"I will be the emperor!" Chang Ning said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you still want to be the queen! You will give me a son to be the prince. From now on, we will run the Qing Dynasty together! I have already thought about it. I am afraid that we cannot defend the Great Wall. , we will retreat outside the customs and go to Shengjing. There are ready-made cities and palaces there, and the surrounding areas of Shengjing have also been doing well in recent years.

Now the entire population of Liaodong outside the Pass has exceeded 300 million, which is more than the population before the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass!

We can move another 300 million people from Beijing, Shangjing, Beizhili, and Shandong, and then we will have 600 million Chinese people outside the customs!

It's hard to say if it will last too long, but we should be stable in this life! "

Chang Ning wanted to be pretty, but at this point, she still wanted to live a small life outside the customs.

This is of course possible. But the prerequisite is that we must fully cooperate with Yang Qilong, who occupies North Korea. It is best to integrate Kanto, North Korea, host Mongolia, and Khalkha Mongolia into one.

The difficulty is to absorb North Korea into the Qing Dynasty!

Because although North Korea’s territory is not large, its population is really large, with a total of 900 million people!

If the basic base of Chang Ning and Queen Yang can use a population of 600 to 200 million, the Mongolian tribes such as Horqin, Chahar, Khalkha, and Tumote may also have a population of less than 800 million.In this way, Beiqing will still have a population of [-] million in the future!
With this number of people, Beiqing should be able to hold on for decades. But if it can't take over North Korea, then Beiqing's population will be too small. I'm afraid it won't last long and it will be annexed by the Ming Dynasty!

Yang Xiaomi frowned and did not immediately reject Chang Ning. He just asked, "What should I do to protect my innocence?"

"Let him go to Tianjing." Chang Ning said, "Call him the Taiping King and live in the Taiping Valley in the Western Region from now on!" Yang Xiaomi sighed, seeming a little reluctant to give up: "Then what will my brother do?"

"Him?" Chang Ning said, "Let him be a general and a minister, and then give him a king with a different surname!"

He also knew that Yang Qilong would be crowned king. This Chang Ning was quite impressive.

Yang Xiaomi thought to himself: If my brother wants to be king, do you need to be the king?He took it upon himself.
However, Yang Xiaomi did not dare to speak directly to Chang Ning who was in high spirits, so he tentatively said: "Prince Gong, the country has encountered a great disaster, everyone is in panic, and the late emperor has several heirs. If you proclaim the emperor immediately, I'm afraid It’s hard to convince the public, why don’t you serve as a prisoner first. When the situation calms down a bit, then send someone to send the Baoqing brothers to Tianjing. After they settle down in Tianjing, how about you become the emperor?"

"this."

Chang Ning felt a little troublesome.

After Kangxi died, it was perfect for him to succeed his sister-in-law and the throne. Why should he become the supervisor of the country in the first place?

Isn’t this a long night with many dreams?What if there were some treacherous officials in the court who had ulterior motives and took advantage of Chang Ning's inattention to support the little prince Baoqing as the emperor? Wouldn't he be Dorgon's second best again?

This Dorgon absolutely cannot be the second one!
Dorgon's old boy is "not good". He has been busy for half his life and can't even give birth to a son. It really doesn't matter if the emperor is wrong.

But he Chang Ning has a son!She also plans to have more children with her sister-in-law Yang Xiaomi.If he, the emperor, becomes the regent, when he is gone in the future, he will not be crushed to death, but his whole family will be executed!

"Isn't this good?" Chang Ning said, "A country can't live without a king for a day...and now that the country is in trouble, it depends on the eldest king! I must be the emperor, and the whole country will be united."

He suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Yang Xiaomi: "Sister-in-law, you don't still miss my second brother, do you?"

"Fifth brother, what are you talking about?" Yang Xiaomi hurriedly shook his head, "Fuquan has already married the princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom as his wife... If he comes back to be the emperor, then the princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom will be the queen! By then, What do I think?"

"That's right!" Chang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, you have to listen to me about becoming the emperor... I grew up in the emperor's family as a child, so I am very familiar with this matter!

The more straightforward I am as emperor, the safer it will be to protect them...and no one will use them to oppose me.If I procrastinate on this matter, I might cause trouble to Xiao Qiang in the future!

As for the emperor's uncle and the regent, I am absolutely inappropriate. Dorgon acted so well, what will be the end?I don’t have Dorgon’s ability, and I can’t even hope that Baoqing will treat me as his own Ama! "

Not to mention, Chang Ning was confused in many places.But when it comes to being an emperor and raising sons for others, he is very sober.

You have to be the emperor yourself!He is not familiar with other people's sons either... This son must be born by himself!
Empress Yang knew that she could not persuade Chang Ning, so she had no choice but to say to him: "Fifth brother, I will definitely support you becoming emperor... Baoqing is too young. If the world is peaceful, he can still be the emperor. But now the Qing Dynasty In the midst of the storm, there must be a leader. This person can only be you!

But now the emperor's life and death are uncertain, and the Empress Dowager is still in charge in Beijing... It's better to wait until the Emperor becomes the Daxing Emperor, and then the Empress Dowager will decide everything. "

"Okay." Chang Ning nodded, "I know the rules... It's not appropriate for me to wear a yellow robe in my situation. If there is no edict from the late emperor, I must let the Queen Mother issue the edict."

Yang Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking about how to coax Chang Ning away. Prince Gong of the Qing Dynasty, the good brother of Emperor Kangxi, and the admirer of Queen Yang, had already smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, the matter of becoming the emperor, I can wait. But taking over your business, sister-in-law... I can't wait for a moment. How about we get the good things done first and discuss other things later?"

"This..." Yang Xiaomi's cheeks turned red, "Everything is up to you!"

Prince Gong laughed loudly and pulled Queen Yang to the palace where Kangxi and Queen Yang lived. "Sister-in-law, I will be in the imperial brother's bed tonight!"

Queen Yang was actually not very willing.

After all, we don’t know whether Kangxi is dead or not!If he was still alive, wouldn't this be cuckolding the emperor?
This is not quite the right thing to do!

But the current situation is critical. Queen Yang does not have an army on hand to maintain her rule, and must rely on Prince Gong's party and his brother Yang Qilong to work together.

So she had to coax Prince Gong no matter what.

As for Prince Gong's desire to be the emperor, it seems that he can only discuss it with his brother Yang Qilong.

Thinking of these things, Queen Yang reluctantly led Prince Gong into the Kangxi Palace...

……

When the black-hearted prince of the Qing Dynasty got his wish and slept on Kangxi's dragon bed, Kangxi didn't know that his hat had been turned green.And he didn't have the heart to think about it... He was so hasty as he fled all the way!
Although the Ming army did not ambush him at first, they beat the Qing infantry behind him.As a result, the panicked Eight Banners New Army infantry broke out at an alarming speed, leading the pursuing Ming Army cavalry to rush behind the thousands of Eight Banners New Army cavalry led by Kangxi.

However, the Qing cavalry, who were short of men and horses, and had low morale, had no courage to fight. After being chased by the Ming cavalry for a moment, they were completely in chaos.

The originally disorganized team immediately disintegrated, and thousands of cavalrymen fled in all directions, like birds and beasts.In the end, only a few hundred of the cavalry who followed Kangxi to Dongping Prefecture remained.

Moreover, when escaping, these hundreds of cavalrymen hurriedly took a different path and ran to the edge of the canal first.Then I couldn't run anymore, so I rested for another night and then turned back north.

By the time they arrived in Dongping Prefecture, it was already the early morning of the tenth day of October... Queen Yang had already let Prince Gong sleep for two days!
Before Kangxi and the others arrived, many fleeing Eight Banners cavalry had already fled to Dongping Prefecture.

In order to win over them, Queen Yang and Prince Gong asked Bahai to lead 2000 cavalry and set up a camp outside the city of Dongping Prefecture.

All Qing troops who fled to Dongping were gathered into the camp first and then their identities were identified.After confirming that they were not spies of the Ming army, they were allowed to enter the city for reorganization.

Kangxi, who arrived in the early morning of October [-]th, was also stopped by Bahai's men.

Kangxi immediately revealed his identity and asked Bahai to come see him.

As soon as Bahai heard that Kangxi was still alive, he went to see him without saying anything.

Kangxi was a little surprised when he saw Bahai: "Bahai, why are you here?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it was the queen who sent me and Prince Gong to join the guard together."

"Prince Gong?" Kangxi frowned slightly, "He is here too..."

"He's already here, He Chen and his followers... The king said he will send people into the city now, please ask Prince Gong to come out to greet you!"

"No need." Kangxi sighed with a tired face, "I will go back to the palace to see the queen first."

Bahai didn't know that the queen was with Prince Gong - Prince Gong's affair with his wife was not glorious, so of course it had to be kept a secret.

So Bahai immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will escort you into the palace."

Kangxi nodded: "Okay, lead the way!"
