Eight kings jokes at the scene

The system of eight kings' deliberation at the end of the Jin Dynasty was actually a tribal alliance system, which flourished in the Jin Dynasty. Compared with the feudal social system, it is retrogressive. How can it be beneficial to take the lead in modernization?

Politically, Nurhachi is far less than Huang Taiji, not at the same level. He has no idea what it means to discuss politics with the Eight Kings.

The so-called discussion of the Eight Kings is a joke in itself. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, whether it is Nurhachi or Zhu Yuanzhang, it is always considered that the monarchy is centralized and the individual is dictatorial.

Eight kings in power? Born?

Nurhachi's reign was patriarchal (the owners of the Eight Banners were all Nurhachi's sons and nephews, so Nurhachi was a parent, but at the same time he claimed to be the parent of all the people, so it was called paternalism. ), the eight kings discussed politics in his later years, that is, when communicating with his sons in March of the seventh year of Destiny, he mentioned this system:

Palm flag (main flag) Baylor is the eight kings;

The Eight Banners discuss together, and there is no loss. ? ;

Share the benefits equally;

In fact, it is to contain each other and put an end to the pseudo-democracy of centralization;

Meeting twice a month on 5th and 20th;

Etiquette: Khan's king bowed to his uncle and brother first, and then sat down for the audience to bow. Khan and the flag owners sat in a row.

Nurhachi ignored his own? Prestige? situation

In fact, this is a slightly selfish and wishful thinking.

For example, give two yellow flags to A Zi, Dourgen and Duoduo. The two yellow flags knew that the final result would be to change the flag or even lower it, but no one dared to object. This shows how much Nurhachi controls the regime. Why didn't he keep those two yellow flags for himself? Because it is unnecessary, which flag is his own? Industry? Including the flag owner, the power of life and death is all in his own hands.

Dourgen fought in the main hall of the Qin Dynasty. He didn't have the prestige. Sony and Ao Bai just worked hard not to lower the flag. This is the fundamental interest of the two yellow flags. They dare to challenge Nurhachi.

Huang taiji's choice

It didn't take long for the Eight Kings to really play a role. Huang taiji soon put the system on the shelf after he succeeded to the throne. Just like in Nurhachi's time, everyone has a chance to make suggestions. However, there is no need to discuss the problem of being in charge, only Huang Taiji. Otherwise, the purge of these people, such as Mangutai, Mangguji and A Min, will be a warning.

Are they really so guilty? Of course not. Both Mongurtai and A Min were forced by Huang Taiji. As for Mangguji's rebellion ... if the monk is cold, Huang Taiji will believe it because he is the mastermind.

What is the main reason? I don't think it can be simply attributed to Huang taiji's ruthlessness. This is entirely because Nurhachi left a mess, and the contradictions among all classes were profound and serious.
