When Grand Secretary Wang Xi wrote the will, Shunzhi mentioned the names of the four auxiliary ministers in turn, namely Sony, Suksah, Oboi, and Dunbai. When it came to the edict, the order of the four auxiliary ministers was naturally led by Sony, Suksah, and Oboi and Dunbai were ranked third and fourth.

The four ministers of the regent were all from the two yellow flags. Sony, Oboi and Suksaha were all ministers of the inner court, and Dunbai was the general of Shengjing, the current minister of the inner court, and the pillar of protecting the safety of the capital. At that time, if Dunbai had not been to the Eight Banners outside the pass, Shunzhi would have been forced to abdicate by his good brothers.

Oboi was leading the army outside, Dunbai was leading the army inside, Sony and Suksaha were dealing with the government affairs. The four of them were their own confidants and good servants. Before their son took power, they helped to deal with the government affairs, resisted the Ming army and rebels in the south, and stabilized the situation in the north. Shunzhi's arrangement was undoubtedly appropriate.

However, in terms of qualifications, Sony served as the head of the regent minister, and there was no objection within the Eight Banners, because Sony was too old. As early as Emperor Taizu, Sony was already a first-class guard and a bachelor of Zhiwen. Later, Emperor Taizong passed away, and Sony and Oboi led two yellow banners to confront the two white banners and fought with each other. Dorgon, who was forced to support Shunzhi as emperor. In the Shunzhi Dynasty, Sony was not only a minister of the inner court, but also a minister of political discussion, so he was appointed as the head of the regent minister, and the entire Manchu province, including the Empress Dowager, had no objection.

However, Suksaha ranked second, which made many people feel dissatisfied. Everyone, including some princes and ministers, believed that Suksaha was not qualified enough and was a villain. Even if the late emperor valued him and called him a minister of life, he should be ranked behind Oboi and Dunbai.

Suksaha was regarded as a villain, which was related to his suing Dorgon for his evil intentions after Dorgon's death. Although he had led his army in the south in the following years, defeated Liu Wenxiu's troops many times, and made many military achievements, this "first announcement" was always affected. Even though Shunzhi believed in him very much and mentioned him as an internal minister, Manzhou still looked down on him somewhat. This time, Suksaha became the "second auxiliary" quietly, which was really beyond many people's expectations. However, the imperial edict of the late emperor had been issued and could not be changed, and the princes and ministers could only acknowledge. Fortunately, Suksaha was also a smart person and knew that there were many people who were dissatisfied with him. Therefore, after being the Minister of the Responsible, he asked Sony more about it when he was in trouble. Sony was undecided and then submitted it to the Empress Dowager himself, and never took the initiative or pretended to be the Minister of the Responsible, which somewhat downplayed his dissatisfaction.

Oboi ranked third, and he didn't mind because he knew that this was the best place for him during his lifetime. After all, the Yangzhou War was commanded by him, but this battle ruined more than 30,000 Eight Banners' children, which scared the master to flee south in a hurry. Many people argued that the reason why the master was infected with smallpox was because he was infected with wind and cold on the way north that day, which caused his bones to be weak and smallpox disease invaded the body.

After defeating the war, Oboi felt guilty in his heart. When he was ordered to lead the Eight Banners of the Injunction to the Central Plains battlefield, he had already decided to wear a horse like a Han Chinese. Only in that way can he be worthy of his master's trust and kindness of being aware of his master. If he hadn't been for his master's death, he would have been executed by Dorgon, so how could he have been there now?

However, Obai himself did not mind the order of the auxiliary ministers, but some people minded, especially the villain Suksaha who was ranked above Obai, which made people even more unwilling to accept it. These people were mainly Obai's old subordinates in the Lianghuang Banners, some ministers who had previously attached to Obai, and even some Beile and Beizi. Beile Tuntai, who resisted the Taiping Army in Xuzhou, would be very worthless. If Obai had not sent people to dissuade him, Tuntai might have made a memorandum.

Before Dunbai led the army into the pass, he stayed in Shengjing for eight years. General Shengjing sounded so powerful, but in fact he was only 20,000 to 30,000 Niulu who had not moved into the pass before. Half of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and tens of thousands of raw and mature Jurchens. There were many raw and mature Jurchen tribes, including Feiyala, Soren, Ewenk, and Huangyang Savage Barhu, among which one or two thousand people, and the fewer were only dozens or hundreds. The important towns outside the pass were originally during the reign of Taizu Taizong, such as Shengjing, Liaoyang, Tieling, etc., and now there are only two, one is Shengjing, and the other is Ningguta.

To put it in a big way, Dunbai was the guardian of the Qing Dynasty's Longxing land, but to put it in a small way, he was just a guardian dog in his hometown of Manzhou. Therefore, in the eight years he served as General Shengjing, Dunbai had almost no influence in the court, and many people even did not remember this former Grand Secretary of the Hongwen Academy. If it weren't for the successive defeats of the Qing Dynasty in the south, the Eight Banners soldiers who entered the pass suffered too much loss, the Niulu outside the pass was not taken seriously by Manzhou at all. Now, Dunbai has become the great savior of the Eight Banners within the pass. The more than 20,000 people he brought from outside the pass not only helped Shunzhi stabilize the court, but also became a new force that was highly expected by princes and ministers.

The troops brought by Dunbai are now brought by An Zhuhu, the commander of Ningguta, and 6,000 new Manchu Prefecture, and the command of Aobai. The remaining 6,000 armored soldiers and 4,000 Han troops and the remaining 6,000 armored soldiers and 4,000 Han troops and thousands of Han troops who were stationed in Zhili, Shanxi and other places, gathered two blue flags and two red flags together, which was considered to have rebuilt the two blue and two red flags. These 20,000 people are also the last bit of power in the capital of the capital, and they all sent them to Henan, and there was no soldier in the capital. In the hearts of many princes and ministers of Manchu, Dunbai is actually the capital for them to retreat outside the pass. Until the last moment, these 20,000 people are absolutely unable to move.

Dunbai holds heavy troops and is also the assistant minister, so although he ranks last, he does not obey Sony and Suksaha, which makes Sony and Suksaha very troublesome. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager has been suppressing Dunbai and supporting Sony and Suksaha, which makes Dunbai dare not be too presumptuous.

During the break of the funeral of Emperor Daxing, Sony and Suksaha seized the opportunity and issued an imperial edict in the name of the new king, expressing the instructions of the kings, Beile and civil and military ministers, saying that the court would "research on Taizu in detail, Taizong became a constitution and as a statute", and quoted the words "I cannot rely on Taizu and Taizong, and many more people have been changed", saying that "I should lead the ancestor system and restore the old seal to the emperor, and use the legacy of the late emperor."

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, it caused a stir among the Han officials.

The Grand Secretary Feng Quan first knew the content of this decree. At that time, he felt extremely cold as if he was in autumn. Because this decree violated the "Manchu and Han family" advocated by the late emperor during his lifetime. Manchu was Han, Han was Manchu, and Han was Manchu, using Han army and green camp to enrich Manchu, and valued the national policy of uniting Han people and gentry to consolidate Manchu's fundamental national policy. Although this national policy may be an emergency "measure" that the late emperor had to take in a situation where war was unfavorable, after all, whether it was an imperial edict, official documents to various ministries, and ongoing flag-raising matters, it was beneficial to Han officials and Han gentry, as well as Han gentry. Even in a time, ten or twenty years later, most of the population of Manchu was completely Han people, and the real Manchu and Han gentry were not divided, and from then on, there was no need to divide the various ministries and officials from the Manchus, Mengshu, and Han gentry. The Qing Dynasty was truly like the Northern Wei thousands of years ago, and became a regime that entered China.

However, the bones of the late emperor were not cold, and the Minister of the Regents drafted an edict to make the Han officials feel cold. Feng Quan didn't know what other Han officials thought, Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng, what did the two elders think? He couldn't accept it anyway. In order to understand what the Ministers of the Regents wanted to do, Feng Quan found Wang Xi who drafted the will.

Wang Xi was the handwritten by Emperor Daxing's last edict and the imperial edict of his crime, and was also the last Han official that Emperor Daxing met during his lifetime. Therefore, Feng Quan believed that Wang Xi must know the true intention of the late emperor during his lifetime, and could also understand why Sony and others violated the order of the late emperor to issue such a decree that made the Han officials feel disappointed.

However, Wang Xi did not say anything for a long time. Feng Quan was anxious and smiled bitterly, saying, "Once the emperor and the minister, do you think the court will never change?"

Feng Quan said angrily: "Of course the court will change, but before the bones of the late emperor are cold, they will undergo a major change. Are you not afraid of the mouths of the world?"

Wang Xi comforted him and said, "I only talk about leading the ancestor system and restoring the old chapters, but I didn't talk about the arrangements of the late emperor."

"Not necessarily, there are two. Sony has always disliked our Han officials. Suksaha is the only one who follows him. Dunbai is even more a barbarian from the gates. The only one who is close to our Han officials is outside. Sony and the others really want to overthrow the former emperor's orders, we can do nothing, and Oboi is out of reach."

Feng Quan was worried that Sony would "strike while the iron was hot" and issued some other decrees that were unfavorable to Han officials. Sure enough, he was told, and three days later, the second decree was issued. However, it was "six withdrawals and four rehabilitation". The so-called "six withdrawals and four rehabilitation" means the thirteen yamen, the cabinet, the Hanlin Court, the Taichang Temple, the Guanglu Temple, and the Hongji Temple; the fourth rehabilitation was to restore the three inner courts, the vassal courts, and the six Manchu officials were added, and the five city censors were added. The "six withdrawals and four rehabilitation" immediately abolished the Ming Dynasty political system inherited by the Qing Dynasty.

Feng Quan felt even colder. According to the news he received, Prince Kang Jieshu had strongly opposed the "Six Retreats and Four Retreats" and went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager. But I don't know what slander Sony and the others had in the Empress Dowager. She actually supported the "Six Retreats and Four Retreats" and scolded Prince Kang and asked him to go back to Ansheng to do his own thing. The ministers of the court should not argue.

"The Empress Dowager is afraid that the kings will disturb her grandson!"

Feng Quan, who has served in the three dynasties, is the reason why the Empress Dowager scolded Prince Kang? It is not because Prince Kang is now the leader of all the kings, young and strong, and is the enemy of her eight-year-old grandson.

Wang Xi didn't dare to say this, so he glanced outside carefully, and then he felt relieved.

"This time, Sony and the others were happy. The Manchus regained power. We Han people were like chamber pots. The late emperor wanted to use it. Before they could use it, they were thrown away by Sony and the others."

Feng Quan's example made Wang Xi's face turn green, and he said reluctantly: "You can't say that, these six withdrawals and four reorganizations are not all evil policies. At least, is it always a good policy to withdraw the thirteenth yamen and expel internal officials? Don't forget that the eunuchs in the former Ming Dynasty were sensational. We should be happy and right after this. I heard that more than 4,000 eunuchs were expelled from this time."

Feng Quan sneered: "Okay, it's a serious matter, but I see, this good show is still coming. We Han officials still have to think about the way out."

Wang Xi was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Feng Quan still smiled coldly: "It's not interesting, it's just that people don't like us. We can't always be flirting with others with a cold face."

After Feng Quan left, Wang Xi kept thinking about what he said just now, but the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, so he didn't dare to think deeply.

After the "Six Retreatment and Four Recovery", Sony did not issue any new orders, but the Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict, which was a good thing. The Empress Dowager's imperial edict restored Prince An Yue Le's title, and inherited Prince An with his ninth son Yatu.

After Yue Le died, he was called Anage by Shunzhi, saying that he was not as good as a pig or dog. Under the pressure of the court, he refused to restore Yue Le's reputation and also searched Prince An's mansion, which caused many people in the Eight Banners to be disappointed with Shunzhi. During the Jiangbei War that day, some Manzhou soldiers under Yue Le's army turned against each other and defected to the Ming Dynasty. Now the Empress Dowager restored Prince An's reputation, which can be regarded as doing a good thing for his son that he did not do before his lifetime.
