After getting rid of Azig father and son, Shunzhi announced his pro-government in the Taihe Palace, although he was only fourteen years old at this time, he was quite a general, dealing with the government in the main hall, commanding the army, calm and calm, as if no one was around.

In order to resist the Manchu tyranny, thus threatening his rule, he reused the Han people, and demanded that all the political affairs of the court must be discussed by the Manchu and Han ministers, and the Manchu ministers must not be arbitrary, this move was originally intended to restrain those unruly Manchu generals, and at the same time dispersed their power, and later found that the Han officials were more comfortable to use, and they repeatedly promoted Han officials, which caused the dissatisfaction of the real power faction that controlled the soldiers and horses,

Xiaozhuang knew her son's self-righteous character very well, and in order to balance and win over all forces, she canonized the daughter of Wu Keshan, the prince of Korqin Zhuoliktu, according to the arrangement made by Dolgon when he was alive, and Borzigit was the queen, and prepared to marry Shunzhi in the near future.

Shunzhi is full of greasy, he has always liked only Qinglian, and only Qinglian is worthy of being his queen, but as soon as he mentioned this matter to Xiaozhuang, he was sternly reprimanded by the Queen Mother: "Manchu and Han do not intermarry, it is a rule left by the ancestors, and no one can change it, and now it is too much to leave Qinglian in the palace." If you think about it again, I'm afraid that Qinglian will not live long."

Shunzhi's words frightened Shunzhi short, he knew his mother too well.

Shunzhi usually has a stubborn temperament, and he has a lot of confrontation with his mother, although Xiaozhuang is trembling with anger, but this is his own son, except to wipe his tears, there is really no way. But Qinglian is different, if she really wants to annoy the Queen Mother, she has no strength to protect her at all.

Shunzhi didn't dare to take the risk, and returned to the palace to discuss with Qinglian,

Qinglian looked at Shunzhi who was full of guilt, and smiled lightly: "When did I ask you to be the queen? If a person with a thin life asks for a blessing in vain, it is a very dangerous thing, the queen mother is right, you think, although the regent is gone, the power he left behind is still shocking." Even shaking the court between breaths, the emperor is pro-government, they still have a lot of doubts in their hearts, and let Borzigit be the queen, this is what Dolgon set for you before his death, if you can make her queen according to the regent's arrangement after Dolgon's death, it will calm the hearts of those courtiers at once"

"You are the emperor, you can't think about things too small, you just think that marriage is your own private matter, and you don't want me to be wronged. How can this be done? The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs. You are looking at the Queen Mother's actions, taking care of the overall situation and taking care of everything else, she is now consolidating your power by marriage, as for me, it is enough to be a concubine."

Under Qinglian's persuasion, Shunzhi reluctantly agreed to marry the Borzigit clan, but he was secretly ruthless in his heart, this Dolgon is too hateful, you are dead, and it can affect my life, you are forcing me to do something to you.

Soon after Shunzhi's wedding, he summoned all the army generals in turn, and issued a holy decree, and the official positions of more than 1,000 generals were promoted and promoted by the emperor himself. No one shall interfere,

When this action is completed, Shunzhi has fully recovered the scattered and weakened imperial power.

In February of the eighth year, Shunzhi suddenly seized Dorgon's family property on the charge of conspiracy and usurpation, and at the same time recovered all the titles, and made the charges known to China and foreign countries, and then excavated Dolgon's tomb and whipped the corpse and bones.

Without waiting for Dolgon's cronies to react, the Good Hunting Camp was dispatched to arrest and execute the scholars Ganglin, Qi Chongge, Gushan Ezhen and others who had real power attached to Dolgon, and then removed all the posts of Zilharang and dismissed the princes of Belle Bezi from the power to manage the affairs of the ministry, so that all the imperial power was concentrated in one body.

In order to consolidate his power, Shunzhi cadres were autocratic, and their cronies such as Sony, Aobai, Sukh Saha, and Kupilon were promoted to the center of power, and then a series of reforms were carried out. Reducing the tax burden, suppressing the Haoqiang, respecting Confucius and Confucianism, and trying his best to encircle the Han landlords and the three feudal lords and other Ming Dynasty generals, it didn't take long for the country to govern like an iron bucket.

The state affairs are going well, but the family affairs make Shunzhi worried. He always wanted to establish Qinglian as the queen, and for this reason, he successively abolished the two queens of the Borzigit clan. Xiaozhuang desperately blocked it, but Shunzhi was unruly, obedient to the Queen Mother in his mouth, and still went his own way in private. only called the scheming filial piety and solemn anger and heartache.

Shunzhi was proud, and was preparing to forcibly canonize Qinglian as the queen.

Unexpectedly, the personal palace maid who served Qinglian was poisoned and died violently one after another.

This can frighten Shunzhi, he knows very well who did this, in order to ensure safety, all the food, he has to taste it himself before letting Qinglian eat, but it is really painful to be afraid all day long, so Shunzhi put away his rebellious heart, knelt in front of Xiaozhuang with low eyebrows, and expressed his submission. Pleading with her mother not to hurt Xiaowan. As for who to appoint as the queen, it is up to the Queen Mother to decide.

Xiaozhuang originally wanted to use some more means to completely subdue Shunzhi, but seeing Shunzhi's tormented eye circles in the past few days, the thin people were about to lose their shape, and the pretended strength was no longer as strong as the soft motherhood, she stroked her son's bearded face and cried out loud in distress. Then he instructed the palace maid to take some small and delicate palace dots and human milk. Let Shunzhi hurry up and eat it.

At this time, even if there was dragon liver and gallbladder, Shunzhi was difficult to swallow, but he didn't dare to disobey Xiaozhuang, so he barely chewed the palace point, and the dim sum residue fell to the ground along the corner of his mouth.

Such a scene. It makes Xiaozhuang even more uncomfortable,

She patted Shunzhi on the shoulder and cried: "Son, even if my mother dies, she won't hurt you, why don't you understand the heart of being a mother? You are a man, so the queen must also be a man, don't think that you can do whatever you want when you become the emperor, our system is that the eight banners participate in politics together." If you force the Han people to be the queen, the Eight Banners Banner Masters will unite and abolish you for the crime of abolishing the ancestors and establishing the Han people in vain. ”

Xiaowan's parents died when she was young, and later she was displaced, which proves that she is also a blessed person and cannot afford to be a descendant. You forcibly put the blessing on her head, just afraid that her thin body will not be able to bear it in the first place, and you may even lose her life for this. If she dies, will your extreme personality be able to bear it? If you have three longs and two shorts for this, how will your mother live in the future with your son?"

After listening to Xiaozhuang's words, Shunzhi also had mixed feelings, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried loudly.

Xiaozhuang wiped away his tears for his son, choked up and said: "Son, you are still young, your blood is strong, and you don't know the importance of doing things at all, you must listen to your mother in this matter." Choose a good girl full of people to be the queen, if you are really afraid of wronging Xiaowan, you can do some other rewards, as long as it is not too much, the mother should not see it at all? You are the emperor, everything must be based on the overall situation."

Under Xiaozhuang's arrangement, Shunzhi finally married Tong Jiashi (that is, the mother of the later Kangxi Emperor) and was named Empress Xiaokangzhang.

After the wedding, Shunzhi was afraid that Xiaowan would be displeased, so he rewarded her again and again, first as a virtuous concubine, and then as a concubine a month later, because Xiaowan's surname is Dong, so she is also called Dong Guifei.

But everything is just like what Xiaozhuang said, Xiao Wan's life is thin, and she can't bear the sudden blessing of the sky, not long after being promoted to the concubine, she coughed and wheezing, although she was carefully treated by the imperial doctor, the condition was cured, but her body has been weak.

She was very grateful for Shunzhi's feelings for herself, and in order to repay Shunzhi, she was full of satisfaction to give birth to a son for the emperor. Shunzhi was worried about her body, so she persuaded her to be strong in a few years and have children, Xiaowan was afraid that she would not survive that time, so she insisted on not listening. Shunzhi didn't dare to disobey her too much, so he let it go.

It didn't take long for Xiaowan to get pregnant, and the husband and wife were very happy, and Shunzhi even designated two top doctors to serve Xiaowan day and night, lest something go wrong.

In 1657, the fourteenth year of Shunzhi, Concubine Dong E successfully gave birth to the prince, Shunzhi was ecstatic, and issued an edict to the world "This is my first son" to pay tribute to heaven and earth for this, and accept the congratulations of the ministers. A grand celebration was held to promulgate the edict on the birth of the emperor's first son, and then there was an amnesty for the world (this son was the only one in the Qing generation who granted amnesty to the world because of the birth of the emperor.)

In fact, Shunzhi already had three sons before, the eldest son of the emperor Aixinjue Luo Niu Niu, the second son of the emperor Aixinjue Luo Fuquan, and the third son of the emperor Aixinjue Luo Xuanye, that is, the later Kangxi Emperor. So he and Xiaowan's son can only rank fourth, but he and Xiaowan have different feelings, and now they are arguing and insisting that this son is the first prince, although it is unreasonable, but who dares to argue with him?

If you don't care about things, you will be chaotic if you care, you will not be full of blessings, and you will be extended if you are full.

Three months later, the beloved son, who was carefully cared for by Xiaowan, died suddenly due to smallpox, which was like a thunderbolt from the sky, directly crushing the weak Xiaowan.

Aiko died young, and although Shunzhi was also heartbroken, he still had to cheer up and take care of the seriously ill Xiaowan. In order to comfort Xiaowan's heart, he surpassed the ancestral system and forcibly posthumously crowned his son Prince Heshuorong. Because Xiaowan likes to listen to the verses in the Buddhist scriptures, he also specially sent someone to invite the senior brother Xingsen, who is good at speaking verses, to explain the Dharma to Xiaowan.

Xiaowan's body was not good, although she recovered slightly in the warmth of the Buddhist scriptures, she was already a person who had dried up the oil and lamps. Three years later, a generation of talented women Dong Xiaowan, in Shunzhi's arms, recited Buddhist scriptures and passed away.

At this time, Shunzhi had already dried his eyes from crying, he hugged Xiaowan tightly, and muttered to himself: "You go first, I will accompany you in a short time,"

This sentence frightened the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the ministers wrote to the emperor one after another, begging the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, and to put state affairs first.

Xiaozhuang was even more shocked three times a day, and strictly ordered the guards to watch the emperor closely, and if the emperor had any accidents, he would be killed.

Shunzhi just smiled bitterly: "I am a Buddha, how can I be born a child? It's just a monk who atons for his sins in the green lantern and yellow scroll." ”

Everyone thought he was overly sad and angry, but he just said it by the way and vented it.

Unexpectedly, after Xiaowan's funeral, Shunzhi suddenly asked Xingsen to shave his ordination.

Xingsen was originally a bold man, and when he saw that Shunzhi was willing to become a monk, he set out to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to lose his hair for Shunzhi.
