The theory that Empress Xiaozhuang married Dolgun first attracted the attention of historians was the ten "Words of Jianyi Palace" by Zhang Huangyan, a ming widow.
One of them says: "Shangshou Is honored for unity, and the Cining Palace is rotten." The Spring Palace yesterday's new ceremony note, too ceremonial courtesy to the empress dowager's marriage."
This means that the Rebbe officiated in this unprecedented wedding, which means that this is an act of marrying a clear media.
This poem is considered to be ironclad evidence of the empress's marriage, but in fact, this poem, if you examine it carefully, will be full of flaws.
Zheng Shi Qu said
Who is Zhang Huangyan?
As a senior anti-Qing revivalist for more than 20 years, Chongzhen shi was on the front line of the anti-Qing dynasty for a long time.
If the Qing court held a high-profile marriage ceremony for the empress dowager at that time, why did the Qing Shilu and the Qing History Draft even the cabinet archives have no records?
If the empress dowager had married in secret, then Zhang Huangyan would have been even less likely to know about it.
The reasonable explanation can only be that this anti-Qing person fabricated this poem in order to vent his dissatisfaction.
In other words, Zhang Huangyan is the source of this rumor.
Dorgon and Xiaozhuang Qingmei Bamboo Horse, tragically snatched love by their brother Emperor Taiji's horizontal knife?
In the TV series "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", it is described that Xiaozhuang and Dolgun grew up with young plum bamboo horses, galloping horses on the grassland together, and Lang was in love with concubines.
Unfortunately, in the end, Dorgon was snatched by his brother Emperor Taiji's horizontal knife, and the fate of the two was rewritten from then on.
In fact, Xiaozhuang was born in the Mongolian Horqin Province, and due to political necessity, Manchurians would marry Mongolian women, and Xiaozhuang was one of them.
She married Emperor Taiji at the age of 13 and became a side Fujin, and at the age of 25 gave birth to a son, Fu Lin, who later became the Shunzhi Emperor.
Prior to this, Xiaozhuang's aunt Zhe Zhe had married Emperor Taiji at the age of 16 and became his wife.
Born in 1612, Dorgon belonged to the Manchurian tribe, was one year older than Xiaozhuang and was the fourteenth son of Nurhaci, and was the right-hand man of Emperor Taiji before entering the customs.
The two tribes continued until 1626, on the basis of Nurhaci's expansion of the world and the unification of the Jurchens, the Emperor Taiji quickly went from alliance to marriage with the Mongols, that is, formal alliance.
Until then, the two sides had been in a state of non-enemy and non-friend.
Even if there is any connection, it is the exchange between the tribal chiefs. Two 13- and 14-year-old teenagers are far away from each other across the mountain, how did they meet?
If you don't have the opportunity to know each other, why do you have a private lifelong appointment? It can be seen that the term "green plum bamboo horse" is purely film and television art processing.
Therefore, in history, the acquaintance of Xiaozhuang and Dorgon began by marrying Huang Taiji, and they began with an ordinary uncle-sister-in-law relationship
Dorgon gave up the struggle for the throne for filial piety?
There is also a puzzling point about the emotional entanglement between Xiaozhuang and Dorgon:
Why did Dorgon, who was heavily armed with a heavy army, give up his ascension to the throne and support Xiaozhuang's young son Fu Lin to sit on the Ninth Five-Year Dignity?
Leaving aside for the moment that the two are ordinary uncles and sisters-in-law, even if there are some feelings between Dorgon and Xiaozhuang, who is Dorgon?
He is not the domineering president in the romance novel, what kind of woman has not seen a generation of tyrants who do not blink on the battlefield, strategize, and do whatever it takes for the sake of power?
It's ridiculous to give up Splendid Rivers and Mountains for a woman.
Dorgon relinquished the throne for simple reasons
Just four words: strength is not enough
In 1643, Emperor Taiji died suddenly, and since there was no will and testament, there was no crown prince.
As a result, Emperor Taiji's eldest sons, Hauge and Dorgon, the two most qualified and powerful people, began to compete for the throne.
Hauge relied on the supremacy of the eldest son, and Dorgon relied on years of military merit.
At that time, the Qing army had not yet entered the customs, and Li Chujun was not influenced by the eldest son of HanHua, and while supporting the eldest son, he did not reject the Li brothers.
When these two people were in full swing, Xiaozhuang's son Fu Lin was still not on the list!
But the problem soon came, and the crown prince needed a strong military force to back it up.
Hauge, supported by the powerful two yellow flag generals, Tugel, Soni, Aobai and other important ministers all expressed their desire to support Hauge the Prince of Su as the monarch.
In terms of strength, Hauge has the support of some yellow flags, coupled with the positive blue flag led by himself, which can be described as an absolute military advantage.
Moreover, at that time, Emperor Taiji's second brother Daishan also strongly supported the eldest son of Emperor Taiji and could realize the great unification of the country.
Dorgon had the support of two white flags, coupled with the support of officials in the court, and was on an equal footing with Hauge, the eldest son of the Emperor at the time.
His camp was adamantly opposed to the establishment of Hauge as monarch, and his vassals strongly advocated the establishment of Dorgon as king.
The two camps are fiercely fighting, and there is a possibility of wiping out guns at any time.
In order to avoid the Qing Dynasty from playing in the same room when it was just rising, it was torn apart.
Therefore, some of the old ministers made a suggestion: each side gave up one step, and both of them gave up the throne and chose another prince to be the emperor.
At a critical juncture, Dorgon took the opportunity to offer to support the young Fu Lin to ascend to the throne.
As a result, the clams competed with each other, the fisherman gained profits, and the six-year-old Fu Lin effortlessly ascended the throne of God
So the question is, Emperor Taiji has eleven sons, why should he appoint the ninth son Fu Lin as emperor?
Behind this is the advice of Xiaozhuang and the political agreement reached with Dorgon.
In the end, a firefight between Dorgon and Hauge was resolved, ensuring a smooth transition of the Qing Dynasty regime.
Although the young Fu Lin was the titular emperor, it was Dorgon who actually held power.
Empress Xiaozhuang did not say that she had actual power, even self-preservation was enough, and the mother and son of the Shunzhi Emperor were cautious as if they were walking on thin ice.
In order to win over Dorgon and avoid Fu Lin's depose, Xiaozhuang constantly put on a top hat for him, and added titles from regent and uncle regent to emperor regent, which was simply a monopoly of power.
As an ambitious politician, Dorgon knew very well that what mattered was strength and real power in the way of government.
When both things are firmly in their own hands, why should they risk the world to depose the emperor and stand on their own?
In addition, Dorgon also has an unspeakable secret, when he was seriously injured in the Battle of Songjin with the Ming Army, and has been unable to have children ever since.
Plus there is no child under the knee, only one woman. Even if he ascends to the throne, there is no successor.
Instead of finally handing over the throne to others, it is better to enjoy the glory and wealth of this life in the name of the regent of the emperor's father.
Did Xiaozhuang marry in the end?
To answer this question, let's think about it first:
Why did Empress Xiaozhuang marry Dorgon, and what was her sufficient reason?
As a prominent female politician who has gone through three dynasties and assisted two generations of young lords and kings, there is really no need for that.
She gave Dorgon the right of the country, the beauty, and the supremacy, so why let herself suffer this humiliation again, and let future generations laugh and be generous.
Perhaps the relationship between them is an ordinary uncle and sister-in-law, because of the mix of political overtones, it has become confusing.
Regarding the marriage of the empress dowager, there is no record in the Archives and Historical Records of the Qing Dynasty.
Some people also say that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty later felt that this matter was disgraceful, tampered with this archive, and deleted the records in the historical materials.
But there is no evidence to prove it now.
It is worth mentioning that in the first month of the seventh year of Shunzhi, after the death of Hauge the Prince of Su, Dorgon married his wife.
In terms of generations, it was his niece-in-law, also surnamed Borzigit, and was the sister of Xiaozhuang.
It became Empress Xiaozhuang's marriage to Dorgon.
Perhaps, after Zhang Huangyan heard it, he wrote it into the poem by hand, and even deliberately distorted the matter.
