The Taoist priest predicted the end of the Qing Dynasty, and Dolgon was full of doubts

The Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, witnessed a series of amazing events. For example, after the death of Huang Taiji, Emperor Shunzhi, who was only eight years old, succeeded to the throne, which seemed unbelievable at the time.

At a young age, he seemed to have been pushed to the pinnacle of power before he could reach maturity, raising questions about his ability to run the country. However, this is not the case, Emperor Shunzhi is not alone behind him, in addition to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, there is also a key person who supports him.

This man is the regent Dorgon, and his deeds are full of strange colors. It is said that when the Qing army entered the customs, Dolgon once asked a Taoist priest when the Qing Dynasty would fall, and the Taoist priest's answer made him doubt himself.

What's going on here?

Dolgon, regent, son of Nurhachi. He was loved by his father, and the prospect of inheriting the throne was bright. In order to live up to everyone's expectations, he studied hard, read poetry and books, and paid more attention to martial arts.

He believed that the Qing Dynasty was laid on horseback, and as a descendant of Nurhachi, he should have superb martial arts. Therefore, he worked tirelessly every day in the army to learn hunting, martial arts, and leading strategies.

Dolgon grew up in a military camp, and because of Nurhachi's love and protection, he did not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person. Whenever the battle raged, Dorgon could only watch the Emperor Taiji bloody battlefield, and he was still an unknown soldier.

However, even so, Nurhachi's love for him never waned. Dorgon knew the preciousness of this father's love, and he looked forward to the day when he would be able to share his fears. However, as fate would have it, Nurhachi was tragically killed in a war, and Dorgon lost his father overnight.

Because of Huang Taiji's heroic exploits, the courtiers unanimously elected him as the monarch of the Qing Dynasty, and Dorgon's dream of becoming a monarch was shattered. In order to maintain his own safety, he decided to assist Huang Taiji without any thoughts of usurping the throne.

However, Huang Taiji died suddenly, and for the sake of the stability of the country, Dolgon assisted Emperor Shunzhi as regent. He worked diligently to teach the art of Shunzhi governance, and also skillfully used stratagems to defeat Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, and the Shunzhi Emperor reaped victory with him.

With the help of Dolgon, the Qing Dynasty successfully entered the customs. After entering the customs, Dolgon had been worried that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty was shaky and could lead to the country's demise. It wasn't until he met a Taoist priest that this concern was alleviated.

The fortune teller reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and speaking of him, the character who has to be mentioned is the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang during the Qing Dynasty. Xiaozhuang, formerly known as Da Yuer, was born on the grassland. It is said that on the day she was born, the sky outside the tent was full of red light and the grassland was full of life.

When the people of the steppe saw this scene, they were convinced that this girl would be different in the future. In order to verify their suspicions, Da Yu'er's parents also specially found a Taoist priest who traveled around and asked him to divinate Da Yu'er.

As soon as the Taoist priest saw Da Yu'er's sweet smile, he couldn't help but feel happy. With his many years of experience in divination, he was convinced that this child would become a figure in the world of motherhood in the future.

Hearing this, Da Yu'er's parents were overjoyed, if she could really have such a lucky fate, then the grassland would be safe and sound for several years. Since then, everyone on the grassland has loved Da Yu'er.

Sure enough, the words of the Taoist priest were verified, and a few years later, Da Yu'er's son Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne, and she became the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang. One day, Da Yu'er's relatives and friends went to the capital to visit her, and saw a Taoist priest setting up a stall on the way.

They were very familiar with this person, so they stepped forward to ask, but they didn't expect to find out that he was the person who had calculated the hexagram for Da Yu'er back then. When these relatives and friends learned about it, they excitedly told Da Yu'er the good news, and it happened that Dolgon was in the queen mother's palace at the time, so he also heard the news.

After hearing about the Taoist priest's deeds, Dolgon decided to go out of the palace to find the Taoist priest to count the hexagram. Soon after, he rushed to the place where the Taoist priest was. Dolgon straightened his clothes, walked forward cautiously, and said, "I have heard that your divination skills are very accurate, and I have come here today to do so. ”

When the regent Dolgon asked the Taoist priest about the fate of the Qing Kingdom, the Taoist priest's answer made him fall into deep thought, "Gain from the regent, lose from the regent." "The regent began to doubt himself, fearing that the country would decay in his hands, so he was worried about the affairs of the state all day long, and did not dare to slack off.

However, the Qing dynasty continued to prosper until the regent's later years.

The words of the Taoist priest were proved to be true many years later. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon assisted, and the country was peaceful and peaceful; In the late Qing Dynasty, the feudal mentality of closing the country to the outside world caused the decline of national strength.

The regent Zaifeng's national salvation movement not only failed, but aggravated the people's disappointment with the Qing Dynasty and made the Qing Dynasty on the verge of extinction. Despite this, Dolgon's life still made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly.

When he learns that he will lose his fortune to the regent, he can't help but fall into self-doubt. But he did not sink because of this, but picked himself up and went all out to deal with the affairs of the state. We should not mess with the unsatisfactory things in life, but should face them bravely and move forward in a down-to-earth manner.
