When Nurhaci attacked Ningyuan, he was hit by the cannons of the Ming dynasty army under Yuan Chonghuan and died. Nurhaci's death was very sudden, leaving no will, and the only person who accompanied Nurhaci at that time was Abhay, so the importance of Abhay at that time can be imagined.
If she said that Nurhaci had appointed someone to succeed him as the new Great Khan before his death, there would have been no hope for the other people who had competed for the Khan's throne, so this Abhay was a great threat to those who were competing for the Khan's position, so whoever became the new Great Khan would execute this person early.
Abhay married Nurhaci at the age of 12 and had three sons: Azig, Dorgon, and Dodo. Nurhaci was only 14 years old when he died, and he was still a small fart, how could he compete with the four great Baylors who could fight.
Therefore, at that time, the four great beylers, including the Emperor Taiji, determined that the new Great Khan was the Emperor Taiji according to the principle of the selection of the people set by Nurhaci. As soon as Emperor Taiji became the Great Khan of Houjin, he felt threatened by Abhay, the only person who accompanied Nurhaci before his death.
So anything she said about who would inherit the Khan's throne was a fatal blow to Emperor Taiji, so Emperor Taiji had to get rid of this person quickly.
How do you get rid of it? Huang Taiji and others thought of a way to let this Abhay be buried, that is, to bury Nurhaci after suicide, but the burial system of Houjin has some explicit provisions, such as the martyrdom of the wife, which requires voluntary and cannot be forced.
This Emperor Taiji forced Abahai to be martyred in serious violation of the houjin burial system, and there was also a rule that if there were minor children who needed to be raised, they were not martyred. Dorgon was only 14 years old at the time, and his younger brother Dorgon was even younger, so he should not have been buried.
However, for the sake of imperial power, he also took into account what kind of burial system was not systematic, so after Emperor Taiji became the new Later Jin Khan, he immediately took measures to force Abahai to be buried.
Abhay did not take measures in time at that time, was hit by the emperor Taiji's sudden blow hit the key, has been powerless to return to heaven, although her eldest son is already an adult, but in the Tiger's Den Wolf's Lair in the Later Jin Court, there is no right to speak, the other two sons are still young, so Abhay can only commit suicide, the only requirement before death is to ask Emperor Taiji to take care of his two sons.
As soon as Abhay died, the position of Emperor Taiji was secured, and no one could challenge his position. Although Dorgon held the Zhengbai Banner, he was too young to be a rival to those who held great power, and he dared to rebel and would be killed by the Emperor Taiji immediately.
Emperor Taiji dared to force Abahai to die, indicating that he had no fear, and must have taken control measures against Abahai's stakeholders, such as close surveillance, especially Azig, Dorgon and Dodo, and the army they controlled, once they found that they had any changes, they would certainly be ruthlessly eliminated, and only by doing these tasks would they further force Abhay to commit suicide.
Otherwise, once Abhay is protected by his own son and pushes a son to succeed to the Khan's throne in the name of Nurhaci's will, then the emperor Taiji will not be able to handle it, so forcing Abahai to die is only the last step of the whole plan, and this measure will be taken after the other preparations are completed. Otherwise, once the grass snake is hit, there is a change, and the Emperor Taiji is likely to fail.
