Why did the humble and filial Shunzhi kill his own uncle Dorgon?

Shunzhi has always suspected that Dolgon has an attempt to usurp the throne, and is extremely dissatisfied with Dolgon's monopoly and dictatorship, in May of the third year of Shunzhi, Dolgon will be the emperor's special seal letter talisman for his own safekeeping, and the national military power will naturally fall into his hands, which makes Shunzhi think that he has the suspicion of rebellion. And Dolgon also exerted authority in front of Shunzhi, from the first regent to his uncle regent, the regent of his uncle, until the end of Shunzhi called him the regent of the imperial father, which caused Shunzhi's disgust.

Because he always hated his uncle, so much so that after Dolgon's death, he had to whip his body and cut off his head, mainly because Dolgon had never taken Shunzhi as a little emperor in his eyes at that time, and he had tried to abolish Shunzhi several times and then establish himself as emperor.

Because Dolgon's ambitions are very large, and he has a lot of power in the military, if you don't get rid of him, it will have an impact on your position.

Because Dorgon had aroused a lot of suspicion for him, disgraced his face, and even disgraced the royal family, he had no choice but to remove him.

Because at that time, Dolgon's power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, and one person was above ten thousand, which already posed a serious threat to his throne.

The Qing Dynasty went from a small court in the northeast to a great Qing empire that ruled the whole country. Dolgon was made the regent's uncle for his contribution to this incident. While gaining a foothold in Beijing, Dolgon adopted a series of policies to ease national and class contradictions in the political and economic fields, consolidating his position and expanding his political achievements.

When Dolgon was very young, his biological mother was asked to be martyred by Huang Taiji, and he lost his biological mother from then on, and later after Huang Taiji's death, he took control of the government. and forced the queen of Huang Taiji to marry herself.

First of all, let's talk about the national feud between Shunzhi and Dolgon:

It is true that Dolgon helped Shunzhi fight the country, but Dolgon did not take Shunzhi as a little emperor for many years, and wanted to abolish Shunzhi several times and establish himself as the emperor, and it is said that Dolgon even made a dragon robe. Dolgon was called his uncle's regent in front of Shunzhi, and finally changed his title to "Imperial Father Regent", which is equivalent to being too emperor. Don't say these actions of Dolgon, even if you become the emperor, you will hate him to the core.

Let's talk about family hatred again:

According to folk rumors and wild historical records, Shunzhi was only 6 years old when he ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was worried that Dolgon would abolish her son and establish himself as emperor, so she decided to marry the regent Dolgon. Emperor Shunzhi, who saw his mother being insulted, must have hated Dolgon to the limit, which is why he whipped Dolgon's body after his death.

The reason why Shunzhi did not kill Dolgon was because Dolgon was his own uncle, and then he was his "imperial father", second, Dolgon had no objection, and third, Dolgon had great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.

In ancient times, killing elders with juniors was a great unfilial piety and a taboo. Shunzhi has always been filial, and he will not do such a thing, and he is even more unwilling to bear the notoriety of killing his uncle and "father". Secondly, although Dolgon was powerful, he had always been loyal to Aixinjue Luo and the royal family, and had no idea of replacing Emperor Shunzhi.

It can be said that it is famous, especially after the death of Huang Taiji, when Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang were weak and young, Dolgon thought that Shunzhi played a unique and important role in ascending the throne and sitting on the throne.

Moreover, at that time, Dolgon's rights were compared with the rights of Shunzhi, a nominal emperor, although Shunzhi hated Dolgon, he had no ability to get rid of Dolgon.

Aisin Jueluo Dolgon (November 17, 1612 – December 31, 1650) was the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the second son of Abahai. In the 40th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1612), he was born in Hetuala (now the old city of Xinbin County, Liaoning Province). An outstanding politician and military strategist in the early Qing Dynasty.

In the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626), he was named Baylor; In the second year of Tiancong (1628), the 17-year-old Dolgon went out with Huang Taiji to conquer the Mongol Chahar Department. Because of his military exploits, he was given the name "Morgen Daiqing" and became the owner of the white flag. In the ninth year of Tiancong (1635), Dolgon and others led an army to collect and surrender Ezhe, the son of the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, and obtained the jade seal of the country.

In the first year of Chongde (1636), he was awarded the title of Prince Heshuorui for his military exploits, and in the first month of the following year, Huang Taiji ordered Dolgon to pursue the family of the Korean king. From the 6th year (1641) to the 7th year (1642) of Chongdeok, he made outstanding achievements in the Battle of Songjin. After the death of Huang Taiji, Dolgon and Zilharang assisted Huang Taiji's ninth son, Fu Lin, as auxiliary kings, and became regents; In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), he commanded the Qing army to enter the customs, and the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, and successively named his uncle regent, the regent of his uncle, and the regent of his imperial father.

In the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650), he died in the winter of Saibei hunting, and was posthumously awarded the title of "Qing Chengzong". Two months later, in February of the 8th year of Shunzhi (1651), Dolgon was stripped of his title and his tomb was dug up. In the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), Emperor Qianlong rehabilitated him, restored the title of Prince Rui, and evaluated him as "the foundation of the country, the cause of unification, and the most outstanding achievements".

Shunzhi should be Dolgon's son, and Xiaozhuang has long had a leg.

Fu Lin is not the son of Dorgon, but the son of the second emperor of the Qing Empire: Huang Taiji.

Dolgon was the fourteenth son of Nurhachi.

Huang Taiji is the 8th son of Nurhachi.

Fulin (Shunzhi) is the 9th son of Huang Taiji.

Therefore, Shunzhi called Dolgon the fourteenth uncle (also called his imperial father, King Amma).

Uncle-nephew relationship, Dolgon is Shunzhi's fourteenth uncle.

It's not paternity.

1, Hauge is Fulin's eldest brother.

Originally, when Nurhachi was old, he handed over the most elite two banners in his hands to the three Dolgon brothers (meaning to pass it on to Dolgon?). ), but before he died, he did not arrange the succession.

So much so that the three Dolgon brothers were at loggerheads with Huang Taiji and his eldest son Hauge.

In the end, Dai Shanda Baylor supported Huang Taiji, and made Huang Taiji succeed to the throne, trying his best to weaken the elite banner army in the hands of the three Dolgon brothers, but he never changed much...

After the death of Huang Taiji, Hauge, as the eldest son, was at odds with Dolgon; In the end, the struggle failed, and it was unclear that he was angry and died.

After Dorgon's death, Fulin, as Hauge's younger brother and as the ultimate beneficiary of the two parties' incomparable compromise, of course had to rehabilitate his eldest brother.

2. The infighting in the Manchu court in the early Qing Dynasty was the result of the remnants of its social tribal inheritance custom (equal division of all sons); It is also the result of the failure to establish a stable system of succession and transfer of power in a timely manner.

And Dolgon's status and merits in the history of the Qing Dynasty are obvious, and there is no doubt that without Dolgon, there would be no Manchu Qing Dynasty.

And Dolgon, as the powerful imperial uncle and regent, inevitably acted arrogantly and offended the little emperor, so that after Dolgon's death, Shunzhi whipped him to the corpse...

During the Qianlong Dynasty, the succession and power transfer system of the Qing Dynasty had been established in the Yongzheng Dynasty (secret reserve); Therefore, it is understandable that Qianlong, who claims to be a wise monarch, rehabilitated Prince Rui.
