Fulin was a little overwhelmed.
Before the court meeting, he discussed with Bumbutai and believed that Qi Zheng'e would be the most suitable person to inherit the position of flag leader.
First, it is legitimate, and second, it can stabilize the internal situation of Zhenglan Banner.
After all, there are many of Hauge's confidants in the Zhenglan Banner.
As a result, Jirgalang and Duoduo opposed at the same time.
Fulin looked at Sony helplessly: "What do you think of Qi Zheng'e?"
"I think what Prince Yu said makes sense." Sony replied tactfully.
"What about you?" Fulin looked at the generals of the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang flags again.
After receiving the same reply, Fulin sighed.
The complicated relationships in the court have left him confused.
He didn't know who to trust, or who was trustworthy.
As his eyes moved, he saw an unpleasant figure: Prince Rui Dorgon.
Fulin frowned and asked, "Dorgon, who do you think is more suitable to take charge of the Zhenglan Banner?"
The person Fulin asked was beyond everyone's expectations.
Everyone knows that Fulin hates Dorgon, what happened today?
Did the two reconcile?
Dorgon pretended to think for a while, then knelt down and said, "I recommend the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, to temporarily manage the Plain Blue Banner."
"Who do you recommend?" Fulin stared, unable to believe his ears.
Before Dorgon spoke, he guessed that Dorgon would recommend Duoduo, Qi Zheng'e, Yebusu (Huang Taiji's fourth son) or Shuosai (Huang Taiji's fifth son) to take charge of the Zhenglan Banner.
Unexpectedly, he actually recommended his old rival Jirgalang to be the leader of the banner.
Is this reasonable?
Not only is it unreasonable, it is also abnormal.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
Not only did Fulin feel something was wrong, even the person involved, Jirgalang, felt something was wrong.
He stared at Dorgon blankly with a complicated expression.
There are doubts, vigilance, and excitement...
It's more confusing.
He couldn't understand Dorgon's purpose in recommending him to take charge of the Zhenglan Banner.
Seeking peace?
Or...dug a big hole for him?
Duoduo, who was standing aside, was even more puzzled.
He couldn't understand why Dorgon did not recommend his brother to be the leader of the banner, but instead recommended his old rival Jirgalang.
Dorgon cleared his throat and answered seriously: "Jirgalang is the nephew of Emperor Taizu. He is not only talented in domestic affairs, but also capable of leading troops. In addition, he is the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner. It is well deserved for him to take charge of the Plain Blue Banner this time."
The corners of Duoduo's mouth trembled uncontrollably.
What's going on today? All I'm saying is his words...
"This reason is too far-fetched," Fulin shook his head slowly.
"This is my memorial, please read it, Your Majesty!" Dorgon took out the memorial from his arms and raised his hands high above his head.
Taking the memorial from the eunuch, Fulin quickly read it through.
After closing the memorial, Fulin held his stomach and said, "Everyone, take a rest. I will be back soon."
"Your Highness obeys your order."
Amid the noise of the crowd, Fulin ran back to the Phoenix Tower, holding his stomach.
Bumbutai (Xiaozhuang in history) and Empress Dowager Zhezhe (Xiaozhuang's aunt) had been waiting in the Phoenix Tower for a long time.
Seeing Fulin coming, the two of them immediately went to greet him.
"Your Majesty, what about the court meeting?" Bumbutai asked anxiously.
"It's very complicated!" Fulin took a few sips of tea from the table next to him and continued, "Duoduo and Jierhalang both want to be the leader of the Zhenglan Banner. Since they can't recommend themselves, one of them recommends Man Dahai and the other recommends Luoluohun."
"Although Luo Luohun recommended Qi Zheng'e, Jierhalang and Duoduo disagreed."
"Why don't they agree?" Zhezhe raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, you are the leader of the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners. Luo Luohun can represent the Zhenghong and Xianghong banners, and they already occupy four of the eight banners! According to the principle of minority obeys majority, Jirgalang and Duoduo must agree."
"It's not that simple," Bumbutai said with a worried look on his face. "Jirgalang and Duoduo were crowned kings because of their military achievements. They both have great military achievements and are highly respected in the army! It's difficult to control them using the principle of minority obeying the majority!"
"Besides, Luo Luohun is only on our side verbally. If we really run into trouble, he may not be on the same side with us."
"What's more... Jirgalang and Duoduo are both regents appointed by the emperor. The emperor cannot ignore their opinions!"
After listening to Bumbutai's analysis, Zhezhe immediately shut up.
"But..." Fulin took out Dorgon's memorial from his arms and handed it to Bumbutai: "Dorgon recommended Jirgalang to take over the Zhenglan Banner, and he also wrote a memorial for this purpose."
Bumbutai and Zhezhe looked at each other and said at the same time: "Jirgalang?"
"right."
"Dorgon and he are sworn enemies, why would he recommend him?"
"Dorgon wrote the reason in the memorial, and you will know it at a glance, mother." Fulin replied.
Bumbutai quickly opened the memorial and her eyes lit up after reading it.
"What's written in the memorial?" asked Zhezhe.
Bumbutai closed the memorial and concluded: "Dorgon said this move was to balance the forces in the court!"
"The emperor controls the two banners, the Plain Yellow Banner and the Bordered Yellow Banner. Man Dahai and Luo Luohun are both descendants of Daishan, and they control the two banners, the Plain Red Banner and the Bordered Red Banner. Duoduo controls the two banners, the Plain White Banner and the Bordered White Banner. Only Jierhalang has the smallest power, and controls only the Bordered Blue Banner."
"If the Zhenglan Banner is handed over to the emperor, the other banners will not agree. If it is handed over to Man Dahai or Duoduo, they will then hold three banners and pose a threat to the emperor."
"The only solution at the moment is to let Jierhalang take charge of the Zhenglan Banner. This will allow him to contain Man Dahai and Duoduo, while preventing him from posing a threat to the emperor!"
"Now that you put it that way, it makes sense!" Zhezhe blinked and developed an inexplicable liking for Dorgon.
"Yes, Dorgon is loyal and will not harm the emperor!" Bumbutai said firmly.
Although Fulin hated Dorgon, he could not find any problems in the memorial. He looked at Bumbutai and asked, "Mother, what should I do next?"
"Just do as Dorgon wishes!" Bumbutai touched Fulin's head.
"Dorgon is a guilty man. How should I deal with him?" Fulin asked again.
Bumbutai thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country. You can do whatever you want to do with me. You don't need to discuss it with me."
Fulin felt relieved and turned to leave.
Dorgon recommended Jirgalang to take charge of the Zhenglan Banner, and this idea was supported by Fulin and Luoluohun.
Although Duoduo didn't want to agree, he had to agree under the trend of the times.
As a result, Jirgalang became the leader of the Zhenglan and Xianglan banners.
