As the old saying goes, "Love Jiangshan more than love beauty", especially embodied in the ancient emperors, they want both Jiangshan and beauty, there are three thousand harem beauties, but there are few kings with single feelings, and Dorgon is one of the few, although his identity is not an emperor, but he is willing to give up Jiangshan and silently assist the government behind Shunzhi, only because Shunzhi's mother is Empress Xiaozhuang. So what magic does Xiaozhuang have that can make Dorgon so obsessed?
Xiaozhuang is actually Huang Taiji's wife, she married him at the age of 13, but Huang Taiji does not love her, and loves her sister Hai Lanzhu, which is the eternal pain in Empress Xiaozhuang's heart. The reason why Huang Taiji married Xiaozhuang was only to rely on the powerful Mongol forces behind her, so he was forced to marry him by the situation at that time. And her sister Hai Lanzhu is older than Xiaozhuang, and because she has lived in the grassland for a long time, the huge radiation and living habits have also made her not as beautiful as Xiaozhuang.
But despite this, when Huang Taiji first saw Hai Lanzhu, he was deeply attracted by the charm of her body, and he could not extricate himself from it, and there was no room for a second woman in his eyes. Later, When Hai Lanzhu entered the palace, Emperor Taiji was very happy, because he had waited too long for this day. However, the happy time was too short, and Hai Lanzhu died soon after, and Huang Taiji was sad.
Time can heal everything, but Huang Taiji just can't love Xiaozhuang, so why does the young and beautiful and talented Xiaozhuang never get his true heart? In response to this question, experts have given a lot of answers before, but the most convincing is the restoration map of Xiaozhuang, which also breaks most people's imagination of Xiaozhuang's appearance, only from the appearance, she and her sister Hai Lanzhu are not comparable at all, so it is normal for Huang Taiji to love Shanghai Lanzhu.
In many film and television dramas, the actors who play Xiaozhuang are people with excellent temperament, such as Tranquility, Sichengova, etc., which inevitably makes the audience have a misunderstanding, thinking that Xiaozhuang should be beautiful as a heavenly immortal, in fact, it is not, the historical Xiaozhuang is not a big beauty, from the restoration map, it can be known that its appearance is ordinary, and the face is slightly baby fat, which is a common Mongolian beauty.
Xiao Zhuang was only 13 years old when he married Huang Taiji at that time, and it can be said that his facial features have not yet opened, and his temperament naturally cannot be compared with his sister Hai Lanzhu. Although young girls have a youthful and vigorous atmosphere, mature and gentle women are more attractive to men who have been fighting in the battlefield for many years, and Xiaozhuang has been very strong since childhood, which is not as good as the sympathetic sister, so it is normal that the Emperor Taiji did not fall in love with Xiaozhuang at that time.
And Dorgon and Huang Taiji are brothers, he fell in love with Xiaozhuang not only because of his appearance, but also liked mature women as much as his brother, but when he met Xiaozhuang, Xiaozhuang was already the empress, more mature than before, and his temperament could be pinched. Dorgon was even more attracted and even obsessed with the royal momentum she exuded, and he was very eager to conquer such a woman, because only in this way could the maturity and success of men be highlighted.
Moreover, in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, he only took Xiaozhuang to make the ministers obey him. Although on the surface, Dorgon gave up Jiangshan because he fell in love with Xiaozhuang, but in fact it was mixed with more interests, or a revenge of Dorgon, who was suppressed by the Emperor Taiji everywhere when he was young, and later he not only wanted to occupy his Jiangshan, but also to occupy his women, which may be the best way to retaliate.
