Nurhaci had 16 sons in his lifetime, and after fierce struggle, the old Eighth Emperor Taiji succeeded to the throne. Although the Houjin at that time was not the inheritance system of the eldest son, it did not say that the eldest prince would definitely not have a chance, and from all aspects, Daishan was still very competitive.
In addition, Nurhaci did not designate who must be the successor before his death, so in theory all the princes had a chance.
Judging from the merits of battle, Daishan's merits are no less than any prince, and he was once awarded the title of "Ancient In batulu" because of his bravery in battle, which is a very high honor. Dai Shan held the ZhengHongQi and the Red Flag in his hands, which was also his greatest dependency, and after Chu Ying was deposed, Daishan was the eldest among the sons, and his influence was still there.
So why does Dai Shan not fight for a fight, but instead supports Huang Taiji?
Many say this is because Daishan was disqualified while Nurhaci was alive. The main reason for this is that Daishan was deposed by Nurhaci.
There are two main reasons for this. The first is that Daisan is not too good to his ex-wife's two sons, which makes Nurhaci very disgusted.
The second point is that Daishan has an affair with Nurhaci's concubine Abahai, and even if Nurhaci is generous, he can't accept such a thing, and not killing Daishan is already saving face for him.
It was also based on these two points that Nurhaci deposed Daishan as crown prince.
But objectively speaking, after Nurhaci's death, how much influence he had is still unknown, and if he wants to fight for good, he is still very powerful.
Moreover, this is a competition for the throne, not an ordinary thing, so if it is possible, many people are still willing to compete, after all, the throne is still very tempting.
On the day of Nurhaci's death, Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo and third son Sakhalian found Daishan, and at this point, the Daishan family unified their opinions and prepared to support Emperor Taiji.
It can be said that the ascension of Huang Taiji is largely due to the support of Dai Shan.
The reason why Daishan is not in dispute is actually very simple.
First of all, he was deposed by Nurhaci, theoretically unable to compete, in the eyes of many princes also completely lost the competitive qualifications, although his strength is still there, but if he blindly fights for power, then it is bound to fall into endless competition with other princes. At that time, Hou Jin's court was afraid of falling into chaos, which can be said to be a manifestation of Daishan's responsibility.
The second point is that the reason why there is no dispute also stems from the personality of Daishan. This kind of bold and courageous thing is indeed not done by the good, he cannot do this thing, nor does he dare to bear the consequences of this matter.
Therefore, seeing that it is useless to compete for the throne, it is better to fully support one, which is the right thing.
