The names given by the dynasties in Chinese history are all traceable, such as the Shang Dynasty, because the ancestral contract of Shang Tang was sealed in the Shang place, so he called the dynasty he established "Shang";
For example, the reason why the Qin State is called "Qin" is also because the place of "Qin Valley" is the origin of "Qin"; The Han Dynasty was named because Liu Bang was once named "King of Han" by Xiang Yu and so on.
However, why Huang Taiji changed the original national name "Houjin" to the later "Great Qing" is not the case, he did not give the origin of the "Qing" national name, and the reason for the national name has not been recorded in the relevant historical materials, so to this day, it is still a historical suspense case.
It is said that after Dorgon entered the pass, after occupying the capital, he took the six-year-old Shunzhi Emperor into the capital, and met a blind old man who claimed to be able to ming the past and the present at the Qinglong Bridge.
So Dorgon stepped forward and asked, "Do you think the Guanwai army can sit in the world inside The Guan?"
The blind old man did not hesitate and gave a direct answer in the affirmative. Dorgon was overjoyed and continued to ask, "Then how long can they sit?"
This time, however, the blind old man did not answer his question head-on, but only said two strange words: "The world is gained by the regent, and it is also lost by the regent; To the orphans and widows, but also to the orphans and widows!" After saying this, the blind old man drifted away.
And the history of the Qing Dynasty afterwards also confirmed the words of this blind old man who was a fortune teller. The regent of the Qing Dynasty was Dolgun, and the orphan and widow was Xiaozhuang and his son Shunzhi Emperor; In the last dynasty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was Empress Longyu, who was an orphan and widow, and the Xuantong Emperor Puyi, who completely withdrew the Qing Dynasty from the stage of history with the assistance of the regent Zaifeng.
According to the "History of the Qing Dynasty" and the "Great View of the Wild History of the Qing Dynasty", Shunzhi was devastated by the unfortunate death of Concubine Dong E, and even tried to commit suicide several times without success; In the end, the Shunzhi Emperor, who had calmed down, was tired of the red dust, so he decided to wear the mountains and forests, cultivate the Tao, no longer mix with the laymen, and live the life of a crane in the clouds.
However, according to the historical records, the Shunzhi Emperor was devastated by the illness of his beloved Concubine Dong, resulting in a deteriorating health, coinciding with the prevalence of smallpox at that time, and the Shunzhi Emperor unfortunately contracted an illness and died.
Indeed, although the disease of smallpox has been eradicated by humans in modern times, in ancient times it belonged to an incurable disease with a very high fatality rate and a very rapid incidence, which seems to be more in line with the situation that the Shunzhi Emperor was only a few days between being seriously ill and dying violently.
Although the historical records say that the Shunzhi Emperor was buried in the Xiaoling Tomb after his death, it was cremated, which was a very uncommon method among the emperors of the past, so whether the Shunzhi Emperor was buried in this xiaoling tomb and what the real cause of his death was, it is impossible to verify, and this has completely become a mystery.
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, whose original name was Ai Xin Jueluo Yinchen, was the third emperor after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Customs and was the father of the Qianlong Emperor. Yong reigned for 13 years, but these 13 seem to have become forgotten times for history. When people talk about the Qing Dynasty, they always say that Kangqian is prosperous and Kangqian is prosperous, as if they are deliberately ignoring Yongzheng.
As everyone knows, as an emperor who inherited the past and the future, it was Yongzheng who laid the foundation for his son Qianlong to prosper in the future, and also left a difficult puzzle for our descendants!
Some people say that the Yongzheng Emperor did not die violently due to illness, as recorded in the canonical history; His real cause of death was that he was assassinated by the enemy family and had his head cut off, and the person who did all this was the famous Lv Siniang!
The claim that The corpse was headless after Yongzheng's death has existed for hundreds of years, of course, it is impossible to find any relevant records in the official history, and almost all the people mentioning this matter are folk histories or legends.
However, the long time that a legend has existed, more and more people will naturally believe it. Some people will say that the body of Yongzheng Old Master is not lying in the Tailing Tomb, directly excavated to confirm it, the answer is not there?
However, at present, our country does not allow archaeology of large-scale imperial tombs that have not been destroyed, so the question of whether Yongzheng had a head when he was buried can only be a mystery for a long time to come!
Regarding the mystery of Qianlong's origins, there are rumors that Yin Chan, who was still the Prince of Yong, got a girl, and chen Ge's hometown that happened to be in the middle of the dynasty was also the joy of Tim Ding. Therefore, in the name of seeing, Prince Yong ordered someone to go to Chen Ge's hometown and carry the children into the palace. Who knew that when he returned, the boy had become a girl, and it was obvious that he had dropped his own child and Chen Ge's grandson!
Of course, the above content is just folklore and cannot be taken completely seriously. But even in real history, there are huge doubts about the origin of the Qianlong Emperor:
According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", on the night of August 13, the fiftieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1711 AD), Ai Xinjue Luo Hongli was born in the Ruyi Room of the East Academy of the Yong Prince's Mansion in Beijing, and his birth mother was Niu Hulu.
However, many people say that Qianlong was not actually born in the royal palace, but was born in the summer resort; Moreover, his mother is not Niu Cobalt Lu Clan, it is the Concubine Xi in the TV series "The Biography of Zhen Huan", Zhen Huan, but someone else.
Even Qianlong's son, the Jiaqing Emperor, wrote in a birthday poem to his father Qianlong: "Emperor Jingwei was born in the court of the mountain villa at the age of Xin, Yuelong Xingqing, and Jirui Zhongxiang." ”
Doesn't the "Court of Fortune in the Mountain Villa" allude to the fact that Qianlong was born in the summer resort? Moreover, all the heirs of the Qing Dynasty royal family would transcribe the time and place of their birth on the genealogical jade at the time of their birth.
Moreover, this birthday poem was to be presented to the Qianlong Emperor, so Jiaqing could not have made such a low-level mistake; even if the Jiaqing Emperor had failed to see the problem for a while, and the verse had been presented to Qianlong in this way, Qianlong could never have been so unfazed after being questioned about his life.
Therefore, the above doubts may not be a coincidence, but behind the "Rashomon" that appeared in Qianlong's birthplace, there must be more secrets that cannot be known!
On the evening of November 14, 1908, the Guangxu Emperor, who was only 38 years old at the time, died in Yingtai. The next afternoon, his 74-year-old "mother" and political enemy, Empress Dowager Cixi, who had ruled the Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century, also died.
Some people can't help but ask, how can a person who is in his prime die without warning and an old man with a broken candle in less than a day's interval? This doesn't seem to make sense!
This mystery was only truly solved by archaeologists a hundred years after Guangxu's death. In an archaeological research activity conducted in 2003, experts took samples of the hair of the corpse of the Guangxu Emperor and tested it with modern technology, and were surprised to find that the arsenic content in the hair of the Guangxu Emperor was more than 2,000 times that of normal people!
In ancient times, there was only one possibility that could lead to this situation, and that was arsenic! This proves that this depressed Guangxu Emperor did not die naturally, but was poisoned by people!
So, who poisoned the Guangxu Emperor? First of all, those who could conditionally carry out this act must have been the people inside the palace at that time. Moreover, at that time, the Guangxu Emperor was under house arrest by Empress Dowager Cixi, and if there was no instruction from Cixi, I am afraid that it would be difficult for others to see Guangxu, let alone poisoned.
So is it possible that Cixi was too afraid that after his death, the power would return to Guangxu's hands, and the Guangxu Emperor would take the opportunity to restart the previously failed foreign affairs movement, and only then instructed his men to do it?
After all, the foreign affairs movement that Guangxu had carried out in a radical way was, in Cixi's view, the life of the Qing Dynasty and the foundation of subverting the rule of the Qing Dynasty. She would never allow this to happen again after her death, so she was determined to get rid of this scourge in her mind before she died, and to solve the emperor who made her uneasy once and for all?
