"The emperor has passed away, the emperor has passed away!" the eunuch shouted while arriving in the palace.

No matter how calm Concubine Zhuang was, after receiving the news that Huang Taiji had passed away, she still couldn't help but sway. The sky of the Qing Dynasty really collapsed.

The censors were also shocked, and then they all fell to the ground and cried: "Emperor-Grand!"

The Qing Dynasty observed a silence throughout the country, and Huang Taiji finally passed away in his bedroom.

In fact, Huang Taiji's condition has always been very serious. Since the 13th year of Chongzhen, after he was almost shot to death by Zhu Cilang outside Yi County, his condition gradually worsened, and the death of his beloved concubine Chen Fei gave him a considerable blow.

Later, Huang Taiji, who was full of ambition, was repeatedly defeated by Zhu Cilang. Seeing the Ming Dynasty becoming increasingly corrupt, the country was within reach.

But at this moment, a guy like Zhu Cilang suddenly appeared. This made Huang Taiji hate the sky, and since Yu was born, how could he be born Liang?

Concubine Zhuang was shaking and rushed to the bedroom with the help of Su Moer. The ministers behind looked at each other and cried, and followed behind.

Huang Taiji left suddenly, although he was seriously ill. Even Concubine Zhuang did not expect that Huang Taiji suddenly left so fast.

What she is most worried about now is whether Huang Taiji has issued a will to establish the crown prince. If so, who should be established?

The ministers behind were also worried that they were not only worried about whether Huang Taiji had issued a last order, but also worried that Concubine Zhuang would be proficient in the imperial edict. They were even more worried that Concubine Zhuang would falsely pass the imperial edict and control the government.

So a bad scheming came into embarrassment, and the ministers followed Concubine Zhuang. Concubine Zhuang, who was walking away, looked back and said nothing.

Everyone walked to Huang Taiji's bedroom together, and heard a burst of mourning sounds from afar. They were the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving Huang Taiji around them. They cried sorrowfully, but they were not crying for Huang Taiji.

The system of burial was always a disadvantage in the Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, this system of burial was always there. Even the mothers of Ajige, Dorgon and Dodo, Dorgon and Duoduo, were forced to be buried alive after Nurhaci died of illness.

The biggest worry among the palace people serving Huang Taiji is this. The emperor died of illness, and they would either directly get rid of the charge of inadequate care. Or they would even have no charges and just let you be buried with them and continue to serve the emperor.

In the feudal era with strict hierarchy, the lives of the servants were as low as dogs. These palace ladies were already familiar with the palace system, so they were as trembling as if they were walking on thin ice while pacifying Japan. A few days ago, a small eunuch could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide by hanging himself.

The suicide of a little eunuch will naturally not cause any trouble. Even if the death of a little person is still humble to the dust. In the eyes of these high-ranking masters, the servant is really like an ant.

Now that Huang Taiji has really died, most of these palace ladies who served him will be buried with him. Therefore, how they are not afraid or sad.

The palace people were trembling and wept. Concubine Zhuang stepped forward and grabbed a trembling palace maid's wrist: "Say, what did the emperor say!"

The ministers behind them rushed forward, with their ears tilted. Everyone wanted to know what Huang Taiji's will was.

Unexpectedly, this palace maid was probably too scared, and her teeth were so scared that she couldn't even say a word.

Concubine Zhuang angrily pushed the palace maid aside and grabbed another trembling eunuch: "You said!"

Fortunately, although the little eunuch was trembling all over, he stammered and said: "Emperor, the emperor was originally fine. I heard that the ministers outside wanted to write a letter again. Suddenly, the emperor's eyes opened, and he vomited blood. He died."

Concubine Zhuang looked back at Lord Zhao's ministers, which scared Lord Zhao to tremble. Huang Taiji's death was actually because of their admonition. If the court blamed him, everyone would be a serious crime to kill the nine clans.

Fortunately, Concubine Zhuang did not attack these ministers, but continued to ask the little eunuch: "Have the emperor ever issued a will or an oral order? Who should be appointed as the crown prince?"

The little eunuch stammered and shook his head: "No, no, the emperor said nothing."

Concubine Zhuang looked at another palace maid next to her: "Is there any?"

The palace maid was so scared that she knelt down with a "thump": "When the Empress said, the Emperor had no time to speak, so she died. The Emperor did not say anything, nor did he say anything about the establishment of the crown prince."

People from other palaces knelt down and kowtowed: "It's really not. The emperor didn't say anything. The empress is clear, the empress is clear!"

Concubine Zhuang closed her eyes helplessly, and she regretted asking this sentence very much. Huang Taiji was dying, but there was no last order.

In other words, the establishment of a crown prince without a will is likely to cause a palace change. The Qing Dynasty adopted a political system, and the emperor may not be the descendant of Huang Taiji.

Moreover, even if Huang Taiji's descendants inherited the throne, those princes Beile Eight Banners, the throne were full of heavy troops and were eyeing the throne.

What the Qing Dynasty fears most now is civil strife. Who wouldn’t want to be emperors if these princes holding heavy troops?

The ministers were trembling, and they had the same idea. I regretted that I should have advised the emperor to establish a crown prince. Now that the Qing Dynasty has ended up in this way, the emperor did not issue a lasting order, and the consequences are unpredictable.

At this time, Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge was killed by Zhu Cilang. The most powerful person to compete for imperial power was Prince Rui Dorgon.

Dorgon's talent was not inferior to Huang Taiji. Because Huang Taiji died suddenly in the Qingning Palace in Shengjing, he did not make an heir before his death. At this time, Daishan's two red flag forces had been weakened. He was over 60 years old and no longer cared about the government. Yuetuo and Sahalian, the most talented among his sons, passed away when they were young, and the rest of Shuotuo was not favored by Daishan. Mandahai was about to emerge and had no say.

However, with the qualifications of the two red flags, the strength of the two red flags, can influence the development of the situation. In terms of interests, the ministers of the two yellow flags hope that other princes of Huang Taiji will succeed the throne to continue to maintain the superior status of the two flags.

When Huang Taiji was alive, in order to strengthen centralization, he greatly weakened the power of each banner, but at the same time he maintained a certain strength, he seized the Zhenglan Banner into his own hands. The strength of the Hesan Banner is far stronger than that of other banners.

Dorgon was another competitor, and the two white flags and the two brave and good brothers behind him were strong backings. Moreover, some royal families in the Zhenghong flag, Zhenglan flag and Zhenghuang flag also secretly supported him, which made him even more powerful.
