If Dorgon had proposed to inherit the imperial power by himself, Hauge would have obstructed it, and at the same time would have broken the delicate pattern of antagonism between the two, forming an imbalance within the Manchu Qing, which would inevitably affect the entire situation at that time. And in the Qing Dynasty in the fierce battle with the Ming Army, it is not allowed to appear chaos caused by the struggle for imperial power, he has some resistance to the throne of the Nine-Five Emperor from the bottom of his heart, not that the temptation is not big enough, on the contrary, he is very clear that he wants to ascend to that position, and then his proposal has indeed been unanimously approved by all the ministers present, because Fu Lin, as a child of the Emperor Taiji, inherits the name of the great unification, and to a certain extent, Dorgon's proposal has more solidified the hearts of the people, and at the same time consolidated his own position. After all, once the six-year-old crown prince Fu Lin ascended the throne, it was impossible to immediately rule, so the position of regent would naturally be assumed by Dorgon, although there was no name for the emperor, but it did have the right to be an emperor. When Nurhaci died, Dorgon was only fifteen years old, at that time he had not yet gone on the battlefield, it can be said that in addition to his royal status, there was almost no right to speak, Nurhaci's original intention was not to let him inherit the unification prematurely, especially in the case of military merit, it was impossible to convince the public.
And for Dorgon, who was extremely politically discerning and had a big-picture view, it was in his favor not to be an emperor. After the election of Fu Lin to the throne, the ministers proposed that Nurhaci's nephew Zilharang be assisted by Dolgun, and since Zilharang had always been neutral, he became a key figure in the question of who to inherit. First, Zilharang was loyal enough to Emperor Taiji, he did not explicitly express his support for Dorgon, or for Hauge, so he was not involved in the seizure of imperial power, and second, Zilharang, who held the power of the blue flag, just saw Dolgun's concerns, that is, Dorgon was worried that forcibly competing for imperial power would lead to Manchu division, so he insisted on supporting Emperor Taiji's son Fu Lin to ascend the throne.
In this way, Dorgon did not dare to act rashly, after all, Fu Lin's ascension to the throne was justified, if he dared to seize the opportunity to seize power, it was nominally tantamount to usurping the throne, even if others would not say anything after the dynasty, but the reputation would certainly be bad. But we can't deny it, but until Dorgon accidentally fell off a horse and died of serious injuries, the emperor's throne was just a dream for him, a hasty page in history, nothing more. In order to illustrate dorgon's death, here we must talk a little bit about the relationship between Dorgon and Shunzhi. Dorgon's strict discipline of Shunzhi made Shunzhi rebellious Dorgon and Shunzhi, a bit like Zhang Juzheng and the Wanli Emperor. After emperor Taiji's death, Dorgon and his younger brother Dordor failed to compete for the throne, and as regent began to assist Shunzhi. Shunzhi was 6 years old and a child. Therefore, Dorgon, like Zhang Juzheng, arranged for the little emperor's study and living. According to the rules of the royal family, the study of the little emperor is very heavy (much more tragic than today's children), and the little emperor is prone to rebellious psychology.
When Dorgon started, he arranged three Manchu masters and two Chinese masters for Shunzhi. As a Manchu emperor, the first thing he had to master was the Manchurian tradition of horseback riding and archery, and Dorgon himself did not like Han culture, so he arranged very few Han culture classes for Shunzhi (Shunzhi did not have the ability to talk to the ministers in Chinese until he reached adulthood). Dorgon spent most of Shunzhi's time learning to ride a horse and shoot archery. However, Shunzhi was a man who was obsessed with Han culture. When Dorgon died, Shunzhi complained that his uncle, the regent, did not let him learn, and every day he would let him ride a horse and shoot arrows, and did not let him learn Chinese and Confucian culture. No way, as the Manchu emperor, plus the emphasis of the emperor Taiji before his death, you can't abandon the Manchu tradition. Dorgon did this without any problems. There are also two contradictions between Dorgon and Shunzhi, one is that he is not allowed to see his mother, Empress Xiaozhuang, and the other is that Dorgon has not regarded Shunzhi as emperor, but as his nephew. Therefore, he often reprimanded the Shunzhi Emperor for not paying attention to the etiquette of the monarch. However, we have to say that he did this in fact for Shunzhi. According to the Qing Shilu, once, the city of Beijing was plagued by an infectious disease, smallpox. At that time, smallpox was an incurable disease, and the infection was almost only waiting for death. When Dorgon found out, he immediately ran to the Forbidden City and ran outside the gate with Shunzhi. There is no smallpox in the cold outside the guanxi. At that time, Shunzhi was held on a horse by Dolgun, and he was very scared and angry at Dolgun's actions. Later, after Dorgon's death, Shunzhi said that dozens of people took me away, and the road was full of bandits, and even eating and drinking on the road was a problem. Don't Dorgon want to kill me! These events also led to Shunzhi's hatred of Dorgon.
