For the eternal passage of the throne and the prosperity of the country, Qing Dynasty Emperors of all dynasties were willing to seek Buddhism and ask questions, hoping that experts could give guidance to the dynasty and the country.

As early as the Shunzhi period, a monk made a prediction about the ending of Qing . But for two hundred years, no one has seen through or spoken the mystery in the master's words. It was not until the eve of the collapse of the dynasty that the master's prophecy was understood.

The emperor who is dedicated to Buddha

This prophecy about the fate of the dynasty was obtained by Emperor Shunzhi asking for advice from the monks. He was also the most superstitious emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and his superstitiousness was closely related to his experience.

Emperor Shunzhi encountered the sudden death of his father when he was 6 years old, and was involved in a complex struggle for power at a young age.

His father, Huang Taiji, died young before he established his heir, which caused the most powerful Prince Shuorui, Dorgon, and Prince Su Haoge, to fall into a fierce battle for the throne. Due to the equal rivalry between the two sides, the struggle fell into a stalemate.

So, Dorgon, who was good at strategy, chose to take a different approach. He joined forces with the Empress Xiaozhuang to support Huang Taiji's nine sons Ai Xin Jueluo Fulin as emperor, and himself as the regent, and seized real power in one fell swoop.

Because Shunzhi was only six years old when he ascended the throne, the regent Dorgon controlled the government for many years. After taking power at the age of thirteen, he hoped to show his ambitions and create a prosperous era of national integration, but he still had a passion. His policies to recuperate, develop production, and actively accept Han culture were collectively opposed by the powerful and powerful in the court because they infringed on the interests of the Manchu elders.

The frequent political setbacks made Emperor Shunzhi begin to seek spiritual sustenance. He was very interested in Buddhism, met many Buddhist monks, and met them in the palace to talk about Buddhism.

In 1660, Shunzhi, who was politically frustrated, suffered another emotional blow. From then on, he was completely desperate about life and began to focus on Buddha.

This year, Shunzhi's favorite concubine Dong E's got smallpox and sought medical treatment from many sources, but the condition still did not improve.

hearted Shunzhi had to rely on religion and burn incense and worship Buddha devoutly every day, hoping that the blessing of the gods would help Dong E's family recover, but things didn't go as they wished, and Dong E finally passed away due to illness.

After Dong E's death, Shunzhi was unwilling to manage the government and spent three years in a daze. When he was 24 years old, he summoned all his ministers and issued an imperial edict for , , a total of 14 items. calendar and reflect on all his mistakes during his reign, condemned his incompetence as the emperor, and thus expressed his determination to abdicate.

He determined that his third son Xuanye was his heir and arranged four auxiliary ministers to assist the dynasty.

As for the whereabouts of Emperor Shunzhi after his abdication, there are many different opinions on later generations, but the widely circulated saying is that Emperor Shunzhi hid his name after his abdication, became a monk and ended his life in the green lamp and yellow scroll.

Prophecy of a prophecy

Before deciding to abdicate, what Shunzhi was most worried about was that the Qing Dynasty's foundation was destroyed because of himself. He also specifically asked the monks, how many generations could the Qing Dynasty pass on?

Master just told him: "Ten emperors are in power and nine emperors are in prison, and there is another emperor in Youzhou " .

Shunzhi did not understand the true meaning of this sentence at that time, but the statement that the ten emperors were in power made him feel relieved. Although he failed to realize his political ambitions during his reign, he would not become a king of a country that would be destroyed and would not be ashamed of his ancestors.

Not only did Emperor Shunzhi not understand the master's prophecy, but the royal ministers at that time also had only a little understanding. Perhaps some experts understand it, but they dare not say much. Because the royal family inheritance for generations is the expectation of the rulers, and they do not allow the spread of speech that is unfavorable to the royal family.

After Shunzhi abdicated, Kangxi ascended the throne. At that time, the country was strong and the economy was prosperous. The government and the people were immersed in the dream of the heavenly kingdom. Everyone thought that the master’s remarks were purely sensational and no one mentioned them again.

Until 1911, Revolution broke out, and the wave of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism swept across the country. Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, announced his abdication, and the history of the Qing Dynasty came to an end.

From the time the Qing army entered the pass in 1644 to the abdication of Puyi, they happened to experience ten emperors, which made people at that time sigh at the prophecy of the monks.

"Ten Emperors' Reign" indicates that the Qing Dynasty will inherit ten emperors, and there are exactly ten emperors from Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, , Qianlong, Jiaqing , Tongzhi , Xianfeng , Guangxu and then to the last emperor Tongxuan, there are exactly ten.

And the "Nine Emperor Prisoners" refers to Emperor Guangxu, who was the ninth emperor after the Qing army entered the pass. During his reign, the great powers invaded and ceded land and paid compensation. In order to get out of the national dilemma of internal and external troubles, Emperor Guangxu supported the reformist and initiated the reform of 1898.

Because the reform violated the interests of the conservative nobles, he was suppressed by Empress Dowager Cixi. He imprisoned Emperor Guangxu on Yingtai. Shortly after he was imprisoned, he died bizarrely.

The destination of the last emperor

The Revolution of 1911 broke out. As the last emperor who announced his abdication, Puyi enjoyed the preferential policy of abdication by the Republic of China government. He and the royal family still lived in the Forbidden City. It was not until 1924 that Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Beijing and abolished the Qing Dynasty Emperor's title, that Puyi and the royal family left Beijing with the royal family.

After leaving Beijing, Puyi spent most of his time in Hebei except for a brief stay in Tianjin to carry out restoration activities.

1931, after the September 18th Incident broke out, the Japanese established the puppet Manchukuo and supported Puyi as the emperor. Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Puyi, as a puppet emperor, stayed in the puppet Manchukuo as the puppet Manchukuo.

The Hebei and Liaoning areas where the pseudo-Manchukuo are located are the location of ancient Youzhou, which confirms the saying that the eminent monk "there is still an emperor in Youzhou."

Conclusion

Prophecies about the fate of dynasties have been made in all dynasties, many of which hit the mark, but this is not the prophet's cleverness or the secret of heaven.

Because the rise and fall of a country and the change of dynasties all follow certain objective laws. In the later stages of the development of feudal dynasties, they would experience the widening of the gap between the rich and the poor and the intensification of class contradictions, which would trigger peasant uprisings and regime change.

The Qing Dynasty is no exception. Even if the ending is revealed at the beginning, it cannot break out of the laws of historical development.
