When he was dying, Jirgalang, Dorgon, Hauge and Ajige assisted in the administration, which was actually imitating Nurhaci's system of eight kings' deliberation. Who to choose as the emperor was not something Huang Taiji could control.

At that time, the ministers of the two yellow flags praised Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge, while the two white flags pushed for Dorgon to succeed to the throne. The two sides were arguing and civil war was on the verge of breaking out.

At this critical moment, Dorgon proposed a compromise plan, allowing Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, to succeed to the throne, with Dorgon and Jirgalang assisting in the administration. This plan was recognized by the princes of the Eight Banners. So Fulin, who was only 6 years old, ascended the throne.

It is worth mentioning that according to unofficial historical legends, Dorgon had an affair with Fulin’s mother Bumbutai (i.e. Empress Xiaozhuang Wen), and there is even a rumor that the empress dowager married him.

However, during the period of Dorgon's regency, Bumbutai was not the empress dowager, and she could hardly even see her son Fulin. In this case, what kind of love could there be between Dorgon and Bumbutai?

In 1644, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty was declared dead. Wu Sangui was very dissatisfied with Li Zicheng's peasant army, so he asked Dorgon for troops to enter the pass.

This was a great gift from heaven to Dorgon, so he marched into the interior of the country under the pretext of revenge for Chongzhen. He fought a great battle with Li Zicheng at Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng was defeated and retreated, and the Qing army entered Beijing.

Interestingly, when Dorgon first arrived in Beijing, he did not encounter any strong resistance. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, officials and nobles in Beijing hated Li Zicheng even more.

The northern region was quickly pacified, and even the Hongguang court in Nanjing was arguing over whether to cooperate with Dorgon. In order to win the hearts of the people, Dorgon ordered the burial of Chongzhen, the protection of the Ming mausoleum, the reuse of Ming officials who surrendered, and the opening of imperial examinations to recruit scholars. At the same time, he ordered the enclosure of land in northern Zhili, and the peasants who lost their land were sent to the Eight Banners as slaves.

In order to protect the interests of the Manchu nobles, Dorgon also ordered a ban on hiding those who had fled privately. Coupled with the forced promotion of the policy of shaving hair and changing clothes, an anti-Qing wave was set off throughout the country.

In 1645, the Hongguang regime collapsed and the Qing Dynasty marched into Jiangnan. Subsequently, Zhu Yihai, the Prince of Lu, and Zhu Youjian, the Prince of Tang, were successively supported to lead the anti-Qing resistance. However, due to constant internal strife and lack of strength, both regimes could not continue.

Zhu Yihai was forced to flee to the sea, while Longwu Emperor Zhu Youjian died of starvation after being captured by the Qing army. Soon after, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the Southern Ming forces supported Zhu Youlang, the grandson of Ming Shenzong, to succeed him and continued to resist the Qing in the south.

While the Qing army was attacking the Southern Ming and the peasant army, Dorgon was also doing his best to deal with his political enemies. In 1648, Suksaha and other members of the imperial clan falsely accused Jirgalang, and Dorgon took the opportunity to launch a large-scale prison, demoting Jirgalang to the rank of Duolo Prince, while Hauge was imprisoned to death.

Dorgon became increasingly tyrannical and domineering. He was promoted from the regent of the emperor's uncle to the regent of the emperor's father. His power grew day by day, just like the emperor, which made the young emperor Fulin very dissatisfied with him.

In 1650, Dorgon died of illness while hunting at the age of 39. He was posthumously named Emperor Chengzong Yi.

Soon after, Jirgalang reported Dorgon's crimes to Fulin, who ordered all of Dorgon's titles to be revoked and his body to be exhumed. It was not until 1778 that Emperor Qianlong issued an order to restore Dorgon's titles.

[Understand Hai Lanzhu in one breath, the ultimate secret of the harem's competition for favor, Hai Lanzhu's history in the Qing Dynasty]

She was the most favored concubine of the Qing Dynasty. She shared the same husband with her aunt and sister, and could win all the emperor's favor without any intrigue. However, she was a beautiful but unfortunate woman, and died at the age of 33.

So why did Hailanzhu share a husband with her aunt and sister? Why did Huang Taiji give her all his love? In this video, let's take stock of Hailanzhu's life.

Hailanzhu was born in 1609 in the Khorchin tribe of southern Mongolia. She was a descendant of Habatu Hasar, a descendant of Genghis Khan, and her father was Khorchin Beile Zhaisang.

As early as 1593, the Haixi Jurchens assembled nine allied forces to attack Nurhaci's Jianzhou Jurchens, but were defeated by Nurhaci in the Battle of Gule Mountain. This battle not only made Nurhaci famous, but also made the Khorchin tribe in the nine allied forces realize the power of Nurhaci, so they turned to form an alliance with Nurhaci through marriage.

Nurhaci not only married into the Khorchin clan, but also let his sons marry the daughters of Khorchin princes. Against this background, Hailanzhu's aunt Zhezhe and sister Bumbutai successively married Nurhaci's eighth son Huang Taiji.

In 1634, Hailanzhu, then 26 years old, was sent to the Later Jin Dynasty by her brother Wu Keshan to marry Huang Taiji. In the wedding ceremony, which was highly valued, according to the customs at the time, Hailanzhu, who married at the age of 26, was undoubtedly an old girl.

Therefore, there is a saying that Hailanzhu had been married before. Although remarriage was not uncommon in the Later Jin Dynasty at that time, we have not found any information about Hailanzhu's experience before she married Huang Taiji, so we cannot be sure whether Hailanzhu remarried to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji, who was 43 years old at the time, fell in love with Hai Lanzhu at first sight. Two years later, Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, changed the country's name to Qing, and conferred titles on the harem. Hai Lanzhu was conferred the title of Chen Fei, ranking first among the five concubines, and second only to Empress Zhezhe of the Central Palace.

According to the system at that time, among Huang Taiji's concubines, Empress Zhezhe, Consort Hailanzhu, Imperial Consort Namu Zhong, Consort Batma Wei and Consort Zhuang Bumbutai had the highest status and were known as the Five Palaces of Honor and Virtue. Hailanzhu was the most favored of the five palaces and received all the attention of Huang Taiji.

In 1637, Hailanzhu gave birth to Huang Taiji's eighth son, the first prince born to the fifth palace of Chongde. Huang Taiji was overjoyed and celebrated the event. The leaders of various Mongolian tribes also presented gifts.

If nothing unexpected happened, this child would have been the heir to the throne in the future. But the child died after only six months, and he didn't even have time to be named. This was a big blow to Hailanzhu. Perhaps because the pain of losing her child was too great, Hailanzhu's health deteriorated and she became increasingly depressed.

In 1641, Huang Taiji, who was at the front line of the Songjin Battle, received the news that Hai Lanzhu was seriously ill and rushed back to Shenyang overnight. However, a few days later, Hai Lanzhu died in Guanju Palace at the age of 33.

Huang Taiji was shocked when he received the news. He rushed to the palace and cried bitterly in front of Hai Lanzhu's coffin. He did not eat or drink for six days and six nights. On the seventh day, he fell into a coma due to excessive grief.

Hai Lanzhu's funeral was extremely solemn and honorable. Huang Taiji personally selected the posthumous title "Minhui Gonghe Yuanfei" for her and wrote a eulogy for her: "Since I met you, my family has loved you and we have shared wealth and honor together. I didn't expect that God would take you away so early. I think of your love in life, and I will never forget you even after death. I miss you and sigh, and hope you can turn around."

At the end of the funeral, Huang Taiji personally knelt down to offer wine to Hai Lanzhu. After that, every time Huang Taiji passed by Hai Lanzhu's tomb, he would burst into tears and was very sad. Sometimes he would even bring his concubines and ladies to pay tribute.

The death of Hailanzhu was not only a psychological blow to Huang Taiji, but also a physical blow. From then on, Huang Taiji's health deteriorated, and two years after Hailanzhu's death, Huang Taiji also died suddenly.

——"Hai Lanzhu was truly favored, and this is all recorded in history."

——"It's hard to imagine how much Huang Taiji loved her."

——"One Hailanzhu and one Dongefei, how many people will envy them."

[The infatuated emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who only loved one person, understand Fulin's life history in one breath. Fulin of the Qing Dynasty]

He was the most infatuated emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He loved only one woman in his life and even became a monk for love. Although he had an unfortunate childhood and was used as a political bargaining chip since he was a child, he became the chosen son of heaven and ascended the throne at the age of 6. Even Dorgon was willing to serve him.

Yes, he is Emperor Shunzhi Fulin. So why did Fulin love Consort Dong E so much? Why did he dig up his uncle's grave when he grew up? In this video, let's take a look at the life of Emperor Shunzhi Fulin, the founder of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1638, Aixinjueluo Fulin was born in Shenyang, Shengjing. He was the ninth son of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, and his mother was the famous Empress Xiaozhuangwen. However, among the concubines at that time, the one most favored by Huang Taiji was Consort Chen Hailanzhu, who was Consort Zhuang's elder sister. As soon as she entered the palace, she received all of Huang Taiji's attention.

Two days before Fulin was born, the eighth prince born to Hailanzhu died. Hailanzhu was heartbroken. Huang Taiji was busy comforting Hailanzhu and did not pay much attention to his newborn son Fulin.

When Fulin was 6 years old, Huang Taiji died suddenly. Since he did not designate an heir during his lifetime, the princes of the Eight Banners had a fierce dispute over the selection of the next emperor.

One group supported the succession of Prince Rui Dorgon, while the other supported the succession of Prince Su Haoge. Dorgon and Haoge were almost the same age, but they were one generation older than each other. Dorgon was Huang Taiji's younger brother, while Haoge was Huang Taiji's eldest son, and his mother was later divorced by Huang Taiji.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Dorgon proposed to make Huang Taiji's ninth son Fulin the heir. With the support of Jirgalang, this proposal was recognized by the princes of the Eight Banners.

Why was Fulin chosen as the heir? Was it true that Dorgon and Concubine Zhuang had an affair as rumored in unofficial history? In fact, this was related to the special Eight Banners system in the early Qing Dynasty. Among the five empresses of Chongde appointed by Huang Taiji after he became emperor, Empress Zhezhe had the highest status, but she did not give birth to a child.

At that time, only the ninth prince Fulin and the tenth prince Bomubogor were not born to the fifth palace, and Bomubogor was only 2 years old at the time. So when Hauge could not succeed to the throne, he could only choose Fulin to succeed to the throne and change the reign to Shunzhi.

But a 6-year-old child obviously did not know how to govern the country, and the military and political power were in the hands of Regent Dorgon and Jirgalang.

To show their loyalty, Dorgon and Jirgalang swore that if they assisted impartially, they would be punished by heaven if they acted arrogantly. Judging from the final result, this oath was fulfilled to some extent.

In 1644, the Qing army entered the Pass, and Fulin became the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty to enter the Pass. Like Taizu Nurhaci and Taizong Huang Taiji, he was regarded by later generations as one of the founding emperors of the Qing Dynasty.

However, everyone knew at that time that Emperor Fulin was just the result of a balance of forces among various parties, and Dorgon, who was the regent, made no secret of his ambition to become emperor.

After entering the Shanhai Pass, Dorgon once said that he was the heir chosen by Nurhaci, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and that Huang Taiji seized the throne, implying that Dorgon should have been on the throne. However, due to the opposition of the princes of the Eight Banners, Dorgon could only try to expand his power within the scope of the regent.

In order to better control him, Dorgon strictly forbade Concubine Zhuang to visit his son, kept her under strict surveillance, and did not allow anyone to teach Fulin to read.

Ministers in the court had repeatedly proposed teaching the emperor to study Chinese classics, but Dorgon always delayed it, resulting in Fulin not receiving a good education until he took power and being ignorant of Chinese.

In 1650, Dorgon died of illness while hunting at the age of 39. Not long after, Prince Zheng Jirgalang reported many of Dorgon's crimes to Fulin, who took the opportunity to reclaim all of Dorgon's titles and dug up his grave.

The young Fulin finally got rid of the shadow of the regent Dorgon. He honored his mother, Concubine Zhuang, as the empress dowager, and married his cousin Borjigit from the Khorchin tribe, Erdeni Bumba, as the empress. In fact, this marriage was arranged by Dorgon in the early years of Shunzhi.

According to Fulin's later recollections, the queen was very beautiful and intelligent, but Fulin hated her because she was jealous and loved luxury.

Two years later, with the consent of the Empress Dowager, she was demoted to Concubine Jing. In the Horqin tribe, the daughter of Beile Erqi, Wuerqite, who was the great-grandniece of the Empress Dowager, was known in history as Empress Xiaohui. However, Fulin only married this empress at the order of the Empress Dowager. He had no feelings for this empress, and all his attention was attracted by Concubine Dong E.

Dong Efei was born into a Manchurian military family. Her brother Fei Yanggu was an important official during the reign of Emperor Kangxi and participated in the conquest of the Three Feudatories and the Galdan Rebellion. There have been many different opinions on how Dong Efei married Shunzhi for 300 years.

Some say she was Dong Xiaowan, one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, while others say she was the wife of Bomubogor, the younger brother of Prince Shunzhi. The missionary Johann Adam Schall von Bell, who had a close relationship with Emperor Fulin, revealed that she was the widow of an officer of the Eight Banners.

In 1656, Fulin Xiazhi promoted Dong Efei to Xianfei, and a month later promoted her to Huang Guifei. Dong Efei was gentle and kind, and not only was she filial to the Empress Dowager, but even Empress Xiaohui respected her like her mother.

The following year, Dong Efei gave birth to Fulin's fourth son. Fulin was overjoyed and issued a general amnesty. He also called the child his first son. However, the child died after only four months. Dong Efei was devastated and her health deteriorated.

Soon, the sad news came that Dong Efei's father and brother had passed away one after another, which made the already weak Dong Efei sick due to overwork and worry. She eventually died of illness in Chengqian Palace in 1660 at the age of 21.

Fulin was grief-stricken and issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Empress Xiaoxian on Consort Dong E. After Consort Dong E's death, Fulin gradually developed a feeling of world-weariness and wanted to become a monk, but was dissuaded.

In the first month of the following year, Fulin died of smallpox at the age of 24. He was posthumously named Shizu and buried in the Qing Xiaoling Mausoleum.

——"When I was a kid, I watched The Secret History of Xiaozhuang and really liked Dong E Fei. It was great."

——"Loving only one woman doesn't affect him having more than a dozen children, right?"

——"It is foolish to judge ancient people by modern standards."
