The housekeeper reported that Huang Taiji had arrived at the mansion, and Daishan quickly got up and went to the door of the mansion to greet him.

Daishan was still a little sad when Yue Tuo died in battle, but it was not necessarily unforgettable. After all, as a member of the royal family, he died for the country in the era when the Qing Dynasty was still opening up its territory. It was mournful and honorable.

The glory given to the family is also unlimited.

Yue Tuo is the most capable among all Daishan's descendants, but he is also the one who brings the greatest trouble to the family. Daishan, who has experienced too many storms, knows very well that if Yue Tuo is still alive, sooner or later he will bring huge trouble to the family.

, or even a disaster, so Yue Tuo's death in battle this time was a well-deserved death.

Huang Taiji came to visit the mansion in person, which Daishan did not expect.

In fact, Yue Tuo already showed signs of being too big to lose. At the beginning, Yue Tuo firmly supported Huang Taiji in inheriting the position of Great Khan, and persuaded his father Daishan to support Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji could completely abolish the system of the four Baylors and completely centralize power to

In itself, from this perspective, Yue Tuo's contribution is very great, so after Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor and ascended the throne and founded the country, he decreed that Yue Tuo be the Prince of Cheng, ranking second among the six princes, surpassing Dorgon and Duo.

Duo et al.

This shows that Yue Tuo has far-sightedness and is quite accurate when it comes to knowing people.

However, after being conferred the title of Prince, Yue Tuo became complacent, or thought that he was a hero of the Qing Dynasty. He forgot about his past, and actually protected Mang Gurtai and alienated the relationship between Jierharang and Hauge, and was caught.

The handle was demoted to Baylor. Later, when Huang Taiji ordered the Eight Banners Army to compare archery, Yue Tuo said that he could not hold a bow. After Huang Taiji's repeated persuasion, he reluctantly picked up the bow and arrow. During the process of shooting, Yue Tuo held the bow in his hand.

He actually fell to the ground five times, which aroused everyone's anger and was demoted to Beizi.

Later, Huang Taiji thought of Yue Tuo's contribution and once again appointed Yue Tuo as Dorobele, allowing him to still be in charge of the Ministry of War.

Unfortunately, Yue Tuo was killed in battle before he could make another meritorious service.

Daishan has always been frightened by Yue Tuo's performance. You must know that Daishan was once the eldest Baylor among the four Baylors and the heir to the throne of the Great Khan. He had extraordinary power and influence among the Manchu nobles.

Huang Taiji seemed to be a big threat, so Daishan acted very carefully and acted completely low-key. What Daishan didn't expect was that his son Yuetuo was so high-profile that he almost became the target of public criticism. Wouldn't this bring trouble to the family?

As soon as he got off his horse, Huang Taiji saw Prince Li Daishan walking towards him quickly.

Huang Taiji was accustomed to riding horses when he went out. Although he was already the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji still did not change his riding habits, and often warned many Manchu nobles to exercise on horses and not to ride in sedan chairs, which would make people lazy.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor..."

Before Daishan could kneel down, Huang Taiji stepped forward.

"Second brother doesn't need to give such a big gift. I came here today to see him. Yue Tuo was killed in battle. I am very sad. I also hope that second brother will not be too sad and his health is important."

Daishan spoke again with a sad look on his face.

"I would like to thank the emperor for his love. Quanzi Yue Tuo sacrificed his life for the country. This is what he should do. I am proud of Yue Tuo..."

There was not much expression on Huang Taiji's face. He glanced at Daishan in front of him with his peripheral vision and walked straight towards the mansion. Daishan followed Huang Taiji.

The door of the mansion had been opened long ago, and all the servants were kneeling at the door, waiting for Huang Taiji.

When Huang Taiji walked into the mansion, he turned to look at Daishan and spoke.

"Second brother, the mansion teaches you well, and these servants still know the rules."

Dai Shan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Huang Taiji's steps were very fast and he reached the wing in a blink of an eye.

The palace guards were on guard around the wing. Except for Prince Li and Daishan, it was impossible for anyone else to enter the wing without Huang Taiji's consent.

Seeing Daishan enter the wing and prepare to salute again, Huang Taiji smiled slightly.

"Second brother, this is your mansion, so there are no need for so many rules. Second brother suffered from the pain of losing his son, and his body has not fully recovered. It is better to sit down and talk, so that I can feel more comfortable."

Daishan finally sat down.

Huang Taiji actually couldn't stand Daishan's cautiousness and caution, but he had gotten used to it over the years. Of course, there was a reason why Daishan was so low-key. Huang Taiji, the four great Baylors at that time, became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Mang Gurtai and Amin, one was demoted to Dorobele for the crime of disrespect, fell into depression, and died of a sudden illness. After his death, he was deprived of all titles for the crime of treason, and their descendants were implicated. The other was

He was convicted of sixteen crimes and has been imprisoned to this day, and his descendants cannot hold their heads high.

Only Daishan, because of his awareness of current affairs, was granted the title of First Prince of the Qing Dynasty and Prince Shuoli.

But who knows whether Huang Taiji will change his mind or whether Daishan will be punished for doing something wrong.

Daishan is already in his fifties, and has long lost the passion of his youth. Because he has experienced too many things, he has become cautious and worldly, and the upright temper of Manchu people can hardly be seen in him.

The expression on Huang Taiji's face didn't change much, and he looked at Daishan and spoke again.

"I feel very sad for Yue Tuo's death in battle. I have thought about it carefully these days. Yue Tuo sacrificed his life for our Qing Dynasty and was a meritorious official of our Qing Dynasty. I have decided to posthumously title Yue Tuo the Prince of Duoluo Keqin County...

"

Just as Huang Taiji finished speaking, Daishan quickly stood up, walked to Huang Taiji and knelt down in front of him.

"I am deeply grateful for the Emperor's grace..."

Daishan's gratitude at this moment is true. Yue Tuo was once the Prince of Qing Dynasty. He was punished successively and demoted to Beizi, and then restored to Beile. He is still in charge of the Ministry of War. On the surface, he has similar power as before. In fact, Yue Tuo

There was a sigh of relief in Tuo's heart. The gap between the prince and Beile was too big. Yue Tuo, who was demoted to Doro Beile, had to bow respectfully if he saw many princes on formal occasions.

This made Yue Tuo's face look dull.

Daishan knew what Yue Tuo was thinking, and had indirectly advised Yue Tuo that it was impossible to restore the prince's title. The most he could do was to be granted the title of county prince, which would be pretty good.

Now, Yue Tuo has been posthumously named the Prince of Duoluokeqin County, and he is just one step away from the prince.

Looking at Daishan kneeling down, Huang Taiji did not move.

"Second brother, Yue Tuo has passed away. No matter how I canonize him, it will not help. I do hope that my second brother can cheer up and help me share my worries."

Daishan was kneeling on the ground, and large drops of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Three years ago, Daishan gave Huang Taiji's sister Princess Hada money as a gift. Princess Hada hated Huang Taiji. Daishan angered Huang Taiji because of this, and Princess Hada was also executed that year. Daishan was listed on a series of charges.

Nearly suffered punishment.

A year ago, because of Yue Tuo's involvement, Daishan was also convicted by the judicial department. Daishan self-examined himself and took the initiative to request punishment, and was later pardoned by Huang Taiji.

After experiencing these two turmoils, Dai Shan had no ambitions. The only thing he thought about was to protect his family and his title as the first prince of the Qing Dynasty, so that his descendants could live a good life. As for leading troops and conquests, and controlling power.

, Daishan no longer has the slightest interest.

Now that Huang Taiji suddenly said such words, how could Daishan not be frightened?

"Your Majesty, I am old and weak. Prince Su Hauge, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Rui Hauge, and Prince Su Duduo are all warriors of our Qing Dynasty and can take care of the Emperor's worries."

"I will never shirk. If the emperor issues an order, no matter what you are asked to do, I will do my best."

Daishan's answer was very straightforward, and he politely rejected Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji smiled slightly.

"Second brother, please settle down. You and I are brothers. Don't get into such a quarrel. The second brother is old and has just experienced the pain of losing a son. At this time, I ask the second brother to share my worries and do things for the court.

It is indeed inappropriate, so I followed the wishes of my second brother. I met with my fourteenth brother the day before yesterday and thought of letting my fourteenth brother take charge of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has a lot of things to do and we cannot delay it."

"The fourteenth brother was originally in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. If I asked the Fourteenth Brother to be in charge of the Ministry of War, it would be impossible to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. My second brother would help me recommend someone to see who is suitable to be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

"

Daishan almost didn't hesitate and answered immediately.

"Your Majesty, I think that Prince Zheng Jierhalang is wise and capable of taking charge of the civil service."

Huang Taiji finally showed a smile on his face.

Huang Taiji actually wanted to put Jierhalang in charge of the staff department.

The appointment of officials in charge of the Ministry of Personnel has a heavy responsibility, and in the process of selecting and appointing talents, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel can be trained. Dorgon became mature and stable because of being in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. However, as Dorgon

As Gun grew older, and the three brothers Dorgon, Duduo and Azig became more and more powerful in the court, Huang Taiji began to be wary.

Putting Dorgon in charge of the Ministry of War ostensibly showed greater trust in Dorgon, but the Ministry of War was actually controlled by Huang Taiji himself, and Huang Taiji had limited energy and could not take care of many things in the staff department, so under Yue Tuo

After his death, Huang Taiji immediately thought of adjusting the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War to further consolidate power.

Huang Taiji absolutely trusted Jierhalang, and the relationship between the two was unusual. With Jierhalang in charge of the staff, Huang Taiji was completely at ease and could plan major events for the Qing Dynasty with peace of mind.

To a certain extent, Daishan's recommendation of Jierharang as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was much more effective than Huang Taiji's personal recommendation. After all, Daishan was the first prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his influence among the Manchu nobles was

very big.

...

Huang Taiji achieved his goal and left Daishan's home and returned to the palace.

Daishan wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked his servants to prepare hot water so that he could take a good bath.

Daishan was very aware of Huang Taiji's wisdom and scheming. He knew that Huang Taiji's ability was far stronger than his own, and he also knew that only with Huang Taiji leading the Qing Dynasty could the Qing Dynasty maintain its hope of growing stronger and eventually taking over the Central Plains.
