In 1644, with the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rebellion of Wu Sangui, this gave the Qing army an opportunity to cross the Shanhaiguan and officially settle in the Central Plains, and since then, the Qing Dynasty has also been established, beginning hundreds of years of rule, but at this time, although the ostensible ruler is the Shunzhi Emperor, it is actually the regent Dolgun.
As the real ruler of the Qing Dynasty, after the Qing army entered the customs, he always paid attention to the direction of the country's development, and was full of worries about the future, in order to answer the doubts in his heart, Dorgon once asked when the Qing Dynasty would perish, and the Taoist's answer made him a little suspicious of life, so what was the dialogue between these two people? What's the story?
Sing all the way to realize the dream of settling in the Central Plains
When the Ming Dynasty had not yet perished, the Qing army had already begun to launch a fierce attack on the Central Plains Dynasty, they had always wanted to live in the Central Plains to replace the Ming Dynasty, but even if the Qing Dynasty declined, it still had a certain strength, plus at that time Shanhaiguan was still Wu Sangui in the town, the Qing army wanted to cross this line of defense was simply difficult to ascend to the sky, so for a long time the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Jun have been in a state of confrontation, the two sides are evenly matched, and no one can win the final victory.
But during this period, the Ming Dynasty underwent tremendous changes, this change is the peasant uprising led by Li Zicheng, because the dark and decadent rule of the Ming Dynasty, resulting in a lot of questions and problems in society must have emerged, and the Chongzhen Emperor at that time did not have a good way to solve, which also caused the intensification of social contradictions, there were large and small rebel forces throughout the country, and finally, Li Zicheng stood out from it, constantly grew his army, and later hit the capital with a single blow. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly on the verge of extinction, officials fled, and the Chongzhen Emperor also hanged himself.
As long as they can defeat Li Zicheng, the dream of occupying the Central Plains is just around the corner, and what the Qing army did not expect was that the good thing of dropping pies in the sky was more than this, because Li Zicheng was short-sighted, did not win Over Wu Sangui in time, but also offended him, which made Wu Sangui choose to betray and turn to the Qing army, not only let the Qing army pass through Shanhaiguan, but also destroy Li Zicheng's army together.
The emergence of this situation made the Dorgon and Qing army at that time unimaginable in any way, which is equivalent to picking up a dynasty, which once confronted the Ming Dynasty for many years without any results, and now only need to walk over to be able to officially settle in the Central Plains, so in the face of such a great good thing, Dorgon did not hesitate to lead the Qing army all the way to sing, without much effort to successfully seize the world of the Central Plains, but also completed the wishes of the ancestors of several generations.
Dorgon's concerns
Maybe happiness came too suddenly, or maybe the Qing army at this time has not yet developed and grown, which brings a lot of worries to Dolgun, don't look at Dolgun is a minister under the Shunzhi Emperor, but the real ruler of the Qing Dynasty is not Shunzhi but him, to know that Dolgun is a level of figure with the Emperor Taiji, the two are brothers, the reason why they will give up the throne to Shunzhi, is because Dolgun loves Shunzhi's mother, that is, Empress Xiaozhuang, and the throne was also taken by the two of them in a black box operation.
In order to keep her son's throne, Empress Xiaozhuang also had to bend down to marry Dorgon, so that he could not compete with his son for the throne, but in fact, Dorgon still controlled the qing dynasty in the name of the regent, even at that time, he was a puppet emperor, and did not even have any decision-making power, such oppression, which could bring a huge shadow to the childhood of the Shunzhi Emperor, so that later after Dorgon's death, he had to dig up a grave and whip him. It was enough to see how much Shunzhi hated him, but this was all an afterthought.
Looking back, Dorgon was undoubtedly a capable ruler during his reign, not only quelling the domestic rebellion at that time, but also completely stabilizing the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but anything that would shake the foundation of the rule, Dorgon would eliminate it at the first time, so Dorgon worked for most of his life, and finally stabilized the qing dynasty's dominance in the Central Plains.
But even to this extent, Dorgon was still not at ease, after all, the Ming Dynasty had only existed for more than two hundred years, and how long could the Qing Dynasty exist? This question kept haunting him so much that he couldn't sleep, so he began to believe in feudal superstitions and wanted to find a feng shui master to calculate for himself so that he could know the answer.
Make Dorgon doubt the answer of life
On a later day, Dorgon was walking on the street, and saw a Taoist priest who was not far away, and many people came to look for a gua, it can be seen that this Daoist priest still has some ability, out of curiosity and in order to answer the questions in his heart, Dorgon went straight to this Daoist, seeing the arrival of Dolgun, the Daoist priest fixed his eyes, and immediately his face became a little more serious, and then he asked what he wanted to calculate.
Dorgon was also straightforward, asking whether the Qing Dynasty could rule the Central Plains, and this Daoist priest told him not to worry, the Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to sit firmly in this country, and it will certainly rule the world of the Central Plains in the future, and then Dorgon asked when the Qing Dynasty will perish? For this sensitive question, the Taoist priest did not give a clear answer, because he knew that the people in front of him were absolutely extraordinary, and he could not give it all up, but said to him: "From the regent to the regent, from the orphan and widow to the orphan and widow to the world."
Hearing such an answer, Dorgon couldn't help but fall into contemplation, which made him really doubt life, what this Taoist priest said was obviously pointing out the situation inside the Qing Dynasty today, could it be that someone had leaked the secrets of the palace? Or does this Daoist really have such magical powers? Thinking about it, Dorgon was already in a trance, but when he looked up to continue asking questions, he found that the Daoist in front of him had disappeared.
Although this story is only a folk legend, and does not have the truth, but the words of the Taoist monks who have been passed down by people are indeed not wrong, Empress Xiaozhuang and The Shunzhi Emperor are indeed orphans and widows, and the two also successfully seized the world of the Central Plains, and in the last year of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Longyu held the little emperor and announced the end of the qing dynasty's rule, the first regent mentioned in this sentence must be Dolgun, and this last one is Puyi's father Zaifeng, both of whom interfered in the affairs of the dynasty and indeed controlled the real power of the Qing Dynasty. I have to marvel at the fact that this sentence is completely wrong.
epilogue
In fact, even if Dorgon knew when the Qing Dynasty would fall, he would not be able to change this outcome, after all, the decay of the Qing Dynasty, the backward political system and the existing ills were there, and as rulers, they could not give up feudal despotism.
This also means that the Qing Dynasty will inevitably go to the fate of extinction, the only variable is whether it can continue for a longer time, so in order to achieve the long-term development and existence of the country, it is necessary to keep up with the pace of the times and constantly carry out reforms, only in this way can we conform to the trend of historical development and not be eliminated by the times.
