After The Death of Emperor Taiji, because he did not leave a will, Dorgon and Hauge began a struggle for the throne, but the two sides quarreled, so under compromise, they welcomed Emperor Taiji's younger son Fu Lin to ascend the throne as emperor, in order to be the Shunzhi Emperor.
However, Shunzhi was too young, so Dorgon became regent. Objectively speaking, Dorgon's ability is obvious to all, and his contribution to the process of entering the Central Plains in the Great Qing Dynasty is very great.
So if Dorgon had ambitions, why didn't he directly claim the title of emperor during his tenure as regent?
The stake said that Dorgon and Hauge were still on par with each other, so by this time, Dorgon had nothing to stop him.
In fact, even so, things are not so simple.
Just like there have been many powerful ministers in all dynasties and dynasties, it does not mean that if you have great power, you will be able to abolish the emperor and stand on your own, in fact, these are two concepts. Dorgon was the regent of the imperial family, and unlike the general ministers and auxiliary ministers, his power was greater than that of the general ministers.
But no matter what, Fu Lin was also the emperor he personally chose, and the name was justified. The reason why they had to choose The son of Emperor Taiji was because the two yellow flags were close associates of the former Emperor Taiji, and they originally supported Hauge, but the two sides quarreled, but they would not support Dolgun no matter what, even if Dorgon was powerful at that time.
Although Hauge and other opponents were defeated by Dorgon for various reasons, it can be said that he has reached the point of lawlessness, but Shunzhi, the bright and upright emperor, is a hurdle that he cannot pass.
If he is going to be emperor, it is not difficult. After all, he belonged to the regent and often went in and out of the palace, and for him, it was obvious that he had this convenient condition. But if he did so, he would put himself in opposition to the Manchus.
The fact that he became regent does not mean that there are no opponents. At first, he compromised to avoid Manchu infighting. If he dared to claim the title of emperor, then obviously there were many opponents, and it was impossible for anyone to watch Shunzhi be deposed.
In this way, it is bound to cause major fluctuations in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has just entered the Central Plains, and even be destroyed. So he wouldn't have chosen either of these two paths.
Besides, Dorgon had no sons, which was a huge problem for him, and if he became emperor, what would happen to his successor?
Various factors Dorgon had to consider. Of course, after all, Dorgon died young, which probably no one expected, including himself, so it does not mean that he did not plan to wait for the political situation to stabilize.
