Chapter 350: Taking Refuge in Buddhism
"The Qing Dynasty was the last unified feudal dynasty in history, with a total of 11 emperors and 276 years of reign."
"In fact, the Qing Dynasty should be counted as thirteen emperors, but in terms of their own country, the first two are not counted, because when Nurhachi and Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, they also called their country "Dajin" at that time, according to the Dingding Central Plains, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty should be Shunzhi. ”
"But people can't deny that they fight the world, and I'm going to talk about a founding general here - Dorgon."
"Dolgon was an important politician and military general in the early Qing Dynasty, he was the fourteenth son of the Qing Emperor Nurhachi, and the younger brother of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty."
"Dolgon showed great talent and intelligence at a young age."
"In the early political struggles of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon gained a lot of experience and training, and he accompanied his father on many expeditions and participated in the Qing Dynasty's wars against the Ming Dynasty."
"In 1626, the Qing Emperor Nurhachi died, and Huang Taiji inherited the throne."
"During this period, Dorgon began to engage in political struggles."
"Through his close cooperation with Huang Taiji, he gradually gained the trust and reuse of Huang Taiji."
"During the reign of Huang Taiji, Dolgon held many official positions, and he served as Minister of the Interior, Minister of Guards, Minister of Internal History, and other important positions."
"He has performed well in these positions and has been appreciated and affirmed by Huang Taiji."
"In the wars of the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon played an important role."
"He led the Qing army to attack the Ming Dynasty many times and won many victories."
"In these wars, Dorgon showed great military talent and command."
"In the BJ Rebellion of 1644, Dolgon and Huang Taiji's eldest son, Haoge, jointly led the Qing army into the pass and successfully captured BJ."
"This event marked the official conquest of the country by the Qing Dynasty and made Dolgon an important contributor to the Qing Dynasty."
"In 1643, after the death of Huang Taiji, there was a power vacuum within the Qing Dynasty due to the unsuccessful struggle between Hauge and Dolgon for the throne."
"During this period, Dolgon supported the nine-year-old Fulin to ascend to the throne, and even became the regent of his imperial father, becoming the de facto ruler of the Qing Dynasty."
"As regent, Dorgon took a series of steps to consolidate his power."
"He strengthened the centralization of power, weakened the power of local officials, and made the power of the Qing Dynasty more centralized."
"He also strengthened the national strength of the Qing Dynasty by reorganizing the army and strengthening financial management."
"However, there was also some controversy during Dorgon's tenure as regent."
"He weakened Hauge's power through a series of means, which led to Hauge's eventual dethronement."
"In addition, he consolidated his power by propping up his own forces, which further complicated the contradictions within the Qing Dynasty."
"In 1650 Dorgon died at the age of 38."
"Although there were some controversies during his tenure as regent, his death still had a great impact on the Qing Dynasty."
"He laid the foundation for the establishment and development of the Qing Dynasty and made important contributions to the establishment of the Qing Dynasty's dominance in the country of flowers."
"Why do I talk about Dolgon alone, there are many wild histories about this later generation that record that he had a certain personal relationship with Xiaozhuang."
"We don't know, but Dorgon deserves to be told separately."
"Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, who is only six years old, has inherited the throne."
"Just the first year of his reign, the first year of Shunzhi, many major events that affected history occurred in this year."
"Li Zicheng captured the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself."
"The Qing Dynasty moved its capital to BJ under the consultation of Dolgon, Belle and the Prince."
"Six-year-old, that is, a child, still doesn't understand what politics is."
"At that time, it can be said that the government affairs were handled by Dolgon."
"Eight years after Dolgon's regency, he died while out hunting."
"After that, Shunzhi began to be pro-government."
In the face of economic slump and a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, in response to the Manchu-Han conflict, he adopted the Huairou policy of "recruiting surrender and dissipating chaos", and used Hong Chengchou to operate Huguang, Yunnan-Guizhou and other places, laying the foundation for the future unification of the whole country. ”
"These policies reflect his wisdom and ambition."
"It's a pity that this Shunzhi Emperor is an emperor who doesn't love the country and loves beauty."
Cao Cao: Is there really an emperor who doesn't love the country and loves the beauty? Although I, Cao, love beauties, I can't compare with the great cause.
Zhu Yuanzhang: Hmph! How not, not everyone is the same as you.
Zhu Di: My father and the emperor don't need to say anything to the queen mother.
Zhu Yuanzhang: My sister is so good, of course I want my sister, and when I get old, I hope to have a good look at this great country with my sister.
Li Shimin: Less, very little, even if I have to admit it, I love the country more.
"Slowly in the long history, there are emperors and monks, such as Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, who spent most of his life cultivating pills and refining medicine, and there are emperors who love Buddha, green lantern ancient Buddhas, wooden fish robes, and only seek Amitabha Buddha, such as Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty."
"For Shunzhi, I have to say that he and Concubine Dong E's sad and lingering love story."
"There are two queens in Shunzhi, both of whom are Mongolian imperial daughters, the first is Meng Guqing of the Borzit clan, who was later demoted to Concubine Jing, and the other is the Empress Xiaokangzhang, who is also the Borzit clan."
"Neither of them was what he wanted, until Concubine Dong E appeared."
This Concubine Dong E is versatile and gentle and considerate, which invisibly touched Shunzhi's heart and is regarded as a bosom friend in her life. was first named a "virtuous concubine", and soon promoted to "imperial concubine", and also granted amnesty to the world, which is an unprecedented honor. ”
"It didn't take long for Concubine Dong E to give birth to a son for Shunzhi, which originally made Shunzhi ecstatic."
"Sadly, three months later, the child died."
"Concubine Dong E has been hit hard since then, her body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, she can't afford to get sick, and then she passed away."
"The lonely Shunzhi, the last thing that he cherishes in this world, has also dissipated in an instant."
"The pillar of his heart has completely collapsed."
"Under such extreme helplessness, he chose to become a monk, and the only way out was to escape into the empty door."
Xiaozhuang: I never thought it would be this kind of marriage, how heartbroken I am as a mother! How can you become a monk!
Queen Ma: Only mothers know what it's like.
Dugu Jialuo: My two sons, even if they do so many wrong things, they deserve to die, but isn't it uncomfortable to be a mother?
Li Qingzhao: Love is very beautiful, but too poignant love, I hope I have never encountered it.
Qin Shi Huang: It shouldn't be so easy for an emperor to enter Buddhism, right?
