In the 18th year of Shunzhi, about half a year after the death of Concubine Dong E, the woman he loved most in his life, Aixinjueluo Fulin himself also passed away quietly on the seventh day of the first lunar month. As for Fulin's death, official accounts and unofficial accounts differ. Some say he was indeed dead, while others say he pretended to be dead and actually went to Mount Wutai to become a monk incognito, with the Buddhist name "Xing Chi".
But it is an indisputable fact that Emperor Shunzhi left a "posthumous edict". It was a eloquent 958 words and listed a total of fourteen major sins. It can be regarded as a "sinful edict". In this article, there is not a single word about his illness or the question of what illness he has. The whole article only contains a faint instruction to his son Xuan Ye to ascend the throne as emperor, "Consist for twenty-seven days, and you will be relieved." Emperor's position".
Fulin, the Shunzhi Emperor, had a favorite woman, Concubine Dong E, but this woman died on August 17, the 17th year of Shunzhi. Out of deep feelings, Shunzhi personally wrote a deed, saying that she loved the Empress Dowager (Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang) " Even if you support me, I will go left and right, and the Queen Mother will be safe." As for myself, "I will wait for the prosperity of my life, and I will pay attention to food, clothing, music, and style, but ignore it."; and "Be extremely frugal, use no gold or jade, recite the Four Books and the Book of Changes, He has graduated and has not been studying calligraphy for long, and he is already proficient." It looks like a traditional society that is chaste, filial, virtuous and benevolent.
In his guilty edict, Shunzhi directly admitted that he was indeed extravagant and wasteful about the funeral of Concubine Dong E. "The funeral ceremony is too generous and generous, and one cannot stop love with etiquette."
Fulin used the word "婗静" to describe the beauty of Concubine Dong E. This word means "charming", because there are very few women outside the Great Wall who behave charmingly, and it is difficult to match the gentleness of women in the south of the Yangtze River. So if you use "charming" This word is indeed very appropriate to describe the beauty of the southern country.
It is worth noting and lamenting that Concubine Dong E did not enter the palace as a virgin. She was originally the concubine of Fulin's half-brother Bomu Boguoer. This Bomu Boguoer had no merit at all, and at most he was granted the title of auxiliary Duke. As a result, he suddenly rose to prominence in the twelfth year of Shunzhi and was named a prince by Shunzhi. Such a surprising reward clearly shows that Fulin already had a crush on Concubine Dong E at that time. Very fond of you.
And before becoming the concubine of Bomu Bogor, was Concubine Dong E kidnapped from the south of the Yangtze River by the Qing army as rumored? Or is it Dong Xiaowan, the concubine of Mao Pijiang? There are indeed different opinions on this, and there is not a lot of historical data to prove it.
"Qingliang Mountain Praise for Buddha" was once attached as evidence that Emperor Shunzhi became a monk in Wutai Mountain. Qingliang Mountain is the highest peak of Wutai Mountain. "Your Majesty has a long life, and my concubine has a clean life... I am having fun today, why are you talking nonsense?... I came from the palace to mourn (three sounds of lei), and the name of the yellow paper money came in... The official family has not solved the problem, and the case Can't eat... Jie Yan (move four times) My horse is traveling around Lingbaji. Baji is so vast, and I said I was traveling to Qingliang Mountain... Looking back at Chang'an City, "zi" (zi one sound) has always been miserable and unhappy, Fang Xing unexpectedly Before moving, a white jade coffin descended from the sky.…”
From this "white jade coffin dropped from the sky", we can know that after the death of Concubine Dong E, Fulin really wanted to abandon the mortal world and escape into Buddhism, and even shaved his head, but he died of smallpox before he could really become a monk in the future.
In his will, Shunzhi designated four ministers as auxiliary ministers, because Xuan Ye was only eight years old at the time, but because the incident with Dorgon before was still fresh in his mind, he did not appoint any of the four ministers this time. Prince.
The Minister of Internal Affairs is the chief of the imperial guard. If he is not a member of the "Shangsan Banners", he is not qualified to hold the position, that is, the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner.
These include Sony under the Zhenghuang flag, Ebilong and Aobai under the Xianghuang flag, and Suksaha under the Zhengbai flag. Zhenghuang and Xianghuang were originally owned by Huang Taiji, and the Zhengbai flag was led by Dorgon. After Dorgon's death, the Zhengbai Banner and the Two Yellow Banners were placed under the permanent "tribe" directly under the royal family, namely the "Shangsan Banners".
In terms of seniority ranking of the four ministers, in terms of qualifications, Sony is the first, Suksaha is the second, Ye Bilong is the third, and Obai is the fourth.
Sony is the elder brother of the bachelor Xifu. He has handled diplomacy and fought in wars. He has made great achievements and was named "Jia La Zhang Jing". Jia La is one-fifth of a flag, and Jia La Zhangjing is a hereditary position, equivalent to a baron. Sony Zhongzhen has a very close relationship with Huang Taiji and Hauge. After the death of Huang Taiji, when the kings and ministers of Beilene were discussing who should be the emperor, they insisted on establishing "the son of the late emperor" regardless of the danger, so as to put an end to Dorgon's idea. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, someone reported to Sony that he wanted to overthrow Dorgon's current authoritarian rule. Dorgon reduced his title and ransacked his home. Therefore, after Shunzhi took charge, his title was restored and he was promoted to Minister of the Interior, in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Suk Saha was originally a close confidant of Dorgon. Shan was similar to Soni in that he was named Jiala Zhangjing because of his accumulated merits. After Dorgon's death, he immediately worked with another confidant Zhan Dai to expose Dorgon's various disobedient acts. As a result, he gained Shunzhi's trust and was promoted to internal minister and given the title of "Prince Taibao".
Ye Bilong is the son of Eyidu, one of the founding heroes and one of Nurhachi's five tiger generals. During the Huangtaiji period, he was awarded the title of Niulu Zhangjing (Yunqiwei), second only to Jia La Zhangjing. Dorgon Jin He was named Jia La Zhang Jing. But soon someone reported that he "had a rift with the kings of the White Banner". How could Dorgon, who was in charge of the White Banner, sit idly by and ignore it? Dorgon reduced his title. After Shunzhi took charge, he restored his title, was promoted to "internal minister", and was The official title is "Taifu, Prince Taibao".
Ao Bai, according to the Manchus, is a batulu (meaning warrior), who accumulated meritorious service to the rank of "first-class Angbang Zhangjing" (first-class viscount) and was promoted to "third-class marquis". Later, he was accused of wanting to make Hauge the emperor, and was fined and demoted by Dorgon. As a result, after Shunzhi's personal expedition, he was promoted to "Minister of Internal Affairs", added to "Taifu and Crown Prince Taibao", and was granted the title of Duke of Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, Aixinjueluo Xuanye, the third son of the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, ascended the throne in Beijing and proclaimed himself emperor, with the reign name "Kangxi".
