Why did Emperor Shunzhi, who was in his prime, suddenly die, and what is the story behind this?

There are many theories about Emperor Shunzhi's death, but according to his degree of diligence, I personally feel that it is not too much.

From various historical materials and signs, it is inferred that Shunzhi died of smallpox, which seems to be the closest answer to the truth.

There are many theories about this, some say it is smallpox, some say it is sick and died, and some say that it is a monkIn short, there are different theories about Emperor Shunzhi, and I don't know which one is true.

Shunzhi died of smallpox, which seems to be the closest answer to the truth。But what is puzzling is that Shunzhi died of illness and should be a normal death. However, why the Qing court archives did not mention the cause of Shunzhi's death, it was secretive, so among themThere is inevitably political intrigue.

Emperor Shunzhi contracted smallpox when he died, and medical treatment was underdeveloped in ancient times, and smallpox was very difficult. There are many theories about the life and death of Emperor Shunzhi, and perhaps his death was also deliberate.

The sudden death of Emperor Shunzhi may have stemmed from a power dispute in the palace, and he became a victim.

Ding Si, night, sub carving, collapsed in the palace of nourishing the heart. This is how the death of Emperor Shunzhi is described in the official history. The specific cause of death was not stated, and it was precisely because of this reason that later generations had different opinions about the cause of his death.

So far I have found three theories about the death of Emperor Shunzhi.

Only love beauty, not the country

It is said that Emperor Shunzhi is an emperor who likes beauties very much, and he really disdains the country or something, so he chose to become a monk at the age of 24, so that he can justifiably stay away from the tired imperial life and be with beauties. Then he remained a monk until he died of old age. The exact timing of death is unknown.

Died of plague-like smallpox

In ancient times, there was no vaccine, we all know, and Emperor Shunzhi was because the age of smallpox was too late, which led to the menacing disease, and in the end, there was no way, the medicine stone was ineffective, resulting in Emperor Shunzhi had no way to get effective treatment, and could only die.

Died in the shelling of Xiamen

This statement may be a bit incredible, but this is also put forward by modern scholars. The main reason is that people found that there is such a passage in the "Record of the Uprising of King Yanping", which means that after Shunzhi was shot, Da Su committed suicide in fear of crime.

Actually, I think the last statement is more plausible, because no matter who it is, I think it's really hard to give up the highest power that has been obtained. Therefore, Emperor Shunzhi should not choose to become a monk at a young age, after all, there is definitely no more convenience when he is called emperor after becoming a monk.

Therefore, I think it should be that when Emperor Shunzhi was watching the shelling in Xiamen, he was hit by a misguided shell caused by immature technology, and he may have died on the spot, or he died after the treatment was ineffective.

There is a legend that Shunzhi was killed by artillery or did not die and became a monk, but combined with the analysis of historical materials, it should have died of smallpox.

For the death of Emperor Shunzhi, the record in the "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty" is unusually brief, "Ding Si, night, Zi Ke, collapsed in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart." Therefore, the death of Emperor Shunzhi has become a mystery in history, and there are two main theories about his death:

The first statement: A popular folk saying is that this Shunzhi Emperor is an emperor who loves beauty and does not love the country, became a monk in Wutai Mountain, and finally died of old age in Wutai Mountain. This saying is widely circulated among the people.

The second theory is that historians prefer the view that this Shunzhi emperor actually died of smallpox. The earliest proponent of this argument was Mr. Monson.

Mr. Meng Sen, a well-known expert on Qing history and a long-time professor at Peking University, died in 1937 of smallpox. Then, after further research by other experts, such a statement was basically confirmed.

died of illness, smallpox, Kangxi became the emperor because he had smallpox.
