The Shunzhi Emperor was not simple, his full name was Ai Xin Jue Luo Fu Lin, he was the first emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the Customs, if you count Nurhaci and Emperor Taiji, then he is the third emperor of the Great Qing.
The Shunzhi Emperor ascended the throne at the age of six, but his ascension to the throne was a complete accident, Huang Taiji died suddenly before entering the customs, that is, in 1643 AD, and Huang Taiji did not have a reserve before, and died suddenly without making a will, so who will inherit it, this is a problem.
At that time, there were two very strong competitors, one was Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge, that is, Fu Lin's brother, and the other was Huang Taiji's younger brother Dolgun, the strength of both sides was similar, they both wanted to succeed to the throne, the two sides could not stand each other, Dorgon knew that this was not the way, so he proposed to let Emperor Taiji's ninth son Fu Lin come to succeed to the throne.
But in fact, Fu Lin is not the youngest, and he has two younger brothers behind him. In this way, the six-year-old Fu Lin ascended the throne, but Fu Lin's luck was relatively bad, he got smallpox at the age of twenty-three and then died of illness, but there is also another theory, that is, after the death of Fu Lin's favorite Concubine Dong E, Fu Lin became a monk, and of course the imperial court could not say so, but could only say that he died of illness.
Judging from the historical records, The first son of Shunzhi, Niu Niu, was born in November of the eighth year of Shunzhi, and the first daughter was born in March of the ninth year of Shunzhi. However, the Shunzhi Grand Wedding was in August of the eighth year of Shunzhi. From the perspective of time, when Shunzhi married the empress, two concubines were already pregnant. That is to say, around the age of thirteen, Shunzhi was already familiar with the affairs of men and women, and his physiological structure had also matured.
Although the Shunzhi Emperor and Concubine Dong E'e performed a life-and-death love affair, in addition to having a son with Concubine Dong, he also gave birth to seven sons and six daughters with other concubines. Shunzhi had eight sons and six daughters in his lifetime.
So why did the Shunzhi Emperor have so many children? Early marriage, many concubines. The Shunzhi Emperor was fourteen years old and married to preside over the coming-of-age ceremony and then became pro-government, and the Kangxi Emperor married the Hesheli clan as empress at the age of twelve. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty married early in order to give birth to dragons early.
In addition, although Shunzhi is young, but his concubines are many, initially because the Qing Dynasty royal harem did not have corresponding rules and regulations, so the young women in the entire palace can be said to be the toys of this young Tianzi. Shunzhi concubines, which can be seen from historical sources, were four empresses, seven concubines, and more than twenty concubines. The birth of three children is only sporadically recorded in historical records, especially those concubines who did not have children.
Love is love, sex is sex, and the Shunzhi Emperor did not stop having sex with other concubines because of the deterioration of Dong Efei's condition. Even when the Shunzhi Emperor made Concubine Dong pregnant, he also conceived two concubines at the same time, and the sixth daughter of the Emperor born to the Nala clan and the fifth son of the Emperor born to the Chen clan were born at about the same time as the fourth son of the Emperor, which is a proof of Shunzhi's special affection but indiscriminateness.
