As one of the few dynasties established by ethnic minorities, the Qing Dynasty has also left a strong mark in the long history of China. Today, the author will take you to know the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Reveal what happened to the emperor, whose life was full of magical colors, why he was able to succeed to the throne smoothly, and why he died young.
According to the author's understanding, a large number of people do not know much about the emperor of Shunzhi, but when it comes to his son, the Kangxi Emperor, everyone will definitely feel like thunder. As an emperor, Shunzhi left to future generations not the outstanding feats of Kangxi, but the most popular thing for posterity is his legendary life.
The reason why Shunzhi was able to ascend the throne smoothly coincided with his name, summed up in four words - blessings came. At that time, the death of Emperor Taiji was very sudden, leaving no will and testament, nor did he leave an oral edict. So the ensuing candidate for the next emperor has also become a thorny issue. There are two high-profile candidates, but Shunzhi is not among them.
But. Because the factional struggle between Dorgon and Hauge was so fierce, neither side obeyed the other, and the foundation of Qing rule at that time was not stable. Therefore, in order to quell the civil unrest, some ministers thought of a compromise solution, that is, to make the young Fu Lin emperor. This approach was eventually adopted by the two men. As a result, Fu Lin, who was only six years old, was pushed to the throne in a vacuum, which made the author lament that this throne was really lucky.
However, Fu Lin's life did not go as smoothly as his ascension to the throne. The young Tianzi should have been full of spirit, but when Fu Lin ascended the throne, he was too young to be a puppet emperor, and the power of the government was actually in the hands of the regent Dorgon. In this way, Fu Lin became the puppet emperor of the eight, and was suppressed by Dolgun everywhere.
Political unsatisfactory is only one aspect, while unsatisfactory family relations are the other. According to records, there are only 27 words describing his relationship with his mother in the History of the Qing Dynasty, and they are all routine canonization matters. It can also be seen from this that Shunzhi's life not only did not get much love from his mother, but also the relationship between the two was not good.
If these are the foreshadowings for Shunzhi's untimely death, then his love with Dong Efei is the last straw that crushed him. According to historical records, shunzhi had two empresses, but both were forced to be crowned under the pressure of Empress Xiaozhuang. Shunzhi's life after marriage is not only not satisfactory, but also has reached the point of looking at each other and getting tired of it, which makes Shunzhi tired of marriage.
However, the appearance of Dong Efei made Shunzhi feel different, and this was also the biggest light in Dong Efei's life. According to historical records, it was only a month after Dong Efei was enfeoffed from concubine to imperial concubine, and on the day of her canonization, Shunzhi also granted amnesty to the world. Throughout the history of the Qing Dynasty, no concubine has ever received such a special honor.
However, the happy life of Shunzhi and Dong Efei did not last long, and Dong Efei died because of the death of her child. Such a blow made Shunzhi feel unbearable, and he felt that his entire life collapsed in an instant. For this reason, Shunzhi was devastated and even wanted to leave home. Soon after, Shunzhi also passed away, ending his short and tortuous life.
Shunzhi's life was a mixed life, the first was that he became emperor effortlessly; the first worry was that his power was limited and depressed after he ascended the throne, and the estrangement from his mother also led to the unhappiness of his married life, which made him feel lost. After that, the appearance of Dong Efei became the second joy of Shunzhi, and he felt infinite upgrading and vitality.
However, with the death of Concubine Dong, Shunzhi was hit hard again. In the end, Shunzhi was depressed and eventually became the second sorrow, and left the world with infinite sighs and feelings. Although Shunzhi's life seemed mediocre and tragic, he left an excellent emperor Kangxi for the Qing Dynasty, which can also be regarded as an account for the entire Qing Dynasty!
