Why did Emperor Shunzhi only live to be 24 years old, and his life state revealed that it was a miracle to live to 24 years old

What is the secret of longevity?Modern people have been searching for the secret of longevity for a long time, and many people have set their sights on the maintenance methods of emperors, generals, and dignitaries for thousands of years. Although the specific effect is not clear, it can be seen from the comparison of these rich but short-lived emperors in history that it seems that the effect of these so-called supplements is quite limited, and even if the first-class doctors in China combine the best diet and medicine, not every emperor can prolong life.

If we count the emperors who died early or young in history, we can find that the backward sanitary conditions at that time were partly responsible. In addition, there were some emperors who died of abnormal causes, which are often rarely mentioned in the history books, mostly because"He is seriously ill"。Why is it that the emperor who has no worries about food and clothing is not as long lived as ordinary people who have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal?For example, Shunzhi, the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty, died after only 12 years of life. Later generations analyzed his living conditions and considered it a miracle that he lived to be 24 years old. How did he survive?

Flynn grows strong.

Fu Lin is the ninth son of Qing Taizu Aixin Jueluo-Huang Taiji, and his mother is the famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Who knows, when he was five years old, his father Huang Taiji died of a sudden illness, and by chance, he was not designated as the heir, so after his father's death, the inheritance problem was not solved.

Meanwhile, Fulin's uncle Dorgon is at a stalemate with other opponents because he refuses to allow anyone else to ascend to the throne. The most powerful of all, Dorgon, had decided to abdicate for the sake of progress, and the emperor accepted Fulin's youngest son on the throne, a tacit move that was approved by other opponents.

Many princes who have participated in the struggle for the throne clearly remember that if the other party ascends to the throne, they will lose their official position and break the law, or die without a place to be buried, so the throne will never be passed on to the other party. However, if the five-year-old Fu Lin ascends to the throne, power will still be in the hands of a few, and the current situation will not change much. Of course, in order to facilitate control over the ministers, the candidate for the throne must be the youngest, not the oldest. So, a deal was made, and the young Fulin became the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty - Shunzhi, and at this time he did not know how to be an emperor.

Although he was young, he was a prince with great self-esteem, justice and morality. When he attended the enthronement ceremony, the nurse who took care of him wanted to send him into the palace in a dragon chariot because of his young age.

No one will say anything to a little boy whose wet nurse has been sitting beside him since he was a child and watching him grow up. But Xiao Shunzhi ignored the fear in his heart, stopped the nurse, and said in a dignified tone"This dragon chariot is for the emperor to sit on, you must not sit on it. "From this little thing, we can see that Shunji is a very strong person.

The sacrifice of Empress Hyo-chung.

When Shunzhi ascended the throne, it was just in time for Li Zicheng to land in Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself in Coal Mountain. Dolgon took the opportunity to lead his troops into the pass, and Emperor Shunzhi gave him a high reward and sent him to lead a heavy army to the Central Plains. Wu Sangui and the Qing army flanked back and forth, and Li Zicheng did not last long before fleeing the capital. The Qing army mobilized and demanded that Shunqi move from Shengjing to Beijing.

Shunzhi thus became the first Qing emperor to enter the Central Plains. From then on, the Qing Dynasty began its centuries-long rule over the Central Plains. The following year, the Qing army officially garrisoned Yunnan after purging the fugitives from Yunnan. Since then, with the exception of Zheng Chenggong overseas, the whole territory of Yunnan has been under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Since joining the Qing army, Dolgon has always been highly meritorious, so Shunzhi has repeatedly commended him for his merits and rewarded him. As Dolgon's official position continued to rise, so did his power, and gradually, as his qualifications and opponents fought, his back was no longer to be matched.

The world is stable, but Dorgon wants to bring the energy of the battlefield to the backyard. He acted quickly and decisively, using fabricated evidence, coercing to commit crimes and other means to get rid of his opponents one by one. In the next step, Shunzhi is probably going to go under the knife.

At the same time, Shunzhi's mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, also felt the crisis, and in order to save the throne and Shunzhi's life, she begged everything and promised to marry Dolgon. She was forced to move, and she was forced to move to the lowest level of the city.

All of Dorgon's calculations, wanting to get rid of the emperor, wanting to get rid of the emperor, and wanting to make Xiaozhuang perish, were all put forward again. Although Dorgon's plot failed, his reluctance was exchanged for Shunji's resentment and contempt. Zhuang Ji, who valued filial piety, asked Shunzhi to call him the emperor's father, and he was humiliated everywhere.

The fledgling Shunji listened to his mother's teachings and endured it silently, but this experience also left a lot of trauma in his heart. Shunzhi's innate strong self-confidence was suppressed by him for a long time, and his personality gradually became sullen, irritable and irritable, which laid the foundation for his later stubbornness and emotional out-of-control.

The blow of losing a loved one.

Of course, after Dolgon's death, the Shunzhi dynasty officially began to rule, and began to completely liquidate the Dolgon family. Fourteen years after the marriage, after Dolgon's death, Shunzhi immediately stripped Dolgon of his title and all honors, and returned the family property in full. But he didn't stop there.

On the grounds of this incident, Shunzhi abolished the ancestral precept that princes and nobles were not allowed to interfere in politics, and firmly held power in his own hands. He was never satisfied with the status quo and converted to Buddhism. This is the rationale behind the legend that he did not die but became a monk.

Shunzhi got married to his mother's nephew, in fact, both of them were professionals, and there was nothing wrong with it in that era. But because this family affair was arranged by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon together, Dolgon represented the organization for his father's identity, which caused the hatred of Shunzhi Nau and his family, even with this family affair, he never saw his wife again, and Shunzhi hated it to the core.

Soon after marriage, he wanted to get rid of the Queen Mother under the pretext of having a conflict with the Queen Mother. Getting rid of the Queen Mother was a big deal, and most of the ministers did not agree, but Shunzhi insisted on going his own way and finally got rid of the poor woman.

If there is one person who can truly soothe Shunzhi's heart, it is his beloved wife Dong E. Shunzhi fell in love with her at first sight, and the two were very affectionate. Unfortunately, everyone has a love for beauty, and after Concubine Dong gave birth to her son, her son died early, and Concubine E also died early.

Words. As an emperor, Shunzhi naturally had the best material conditions at that time. But the effects of psychological stress and old trauma were fatal. From here, isn't it clear the real reason why the emperor can't get rid of the people?
