Emperor Shunzhi really became a monk?
There are legends that Emperor Kangxi went to Wutai Mountain several times to meet his father, but the Shunzhi Emperor who was a monk here avoided all kinds of legends.
Emperor Shunzhi became a monk because the son of his beloved Concubine Dong E died, and Concubine Dong E also fell ill, and the Emperor Shunzhi advocated Buddhism during his lifetime, and he and eminent monks Han Pucong, Yu Linxuan, Mu Chenmao, etc. I have had contact and invited them to teach Buddhism in the imperial palace. The most important thing is that Emperor Shunzhi suddenly passed away at the age of 24 and was in good health before his death.
To sum up, Emperor Shunzhi took off his imperial robe and put on a robes, became a monk and became a monk. The imperial family only publicly declared that the emperor had died.
Concubine Dong E was originally the concubine of Shunzhi's half-brother, Prince Bomu Boguol. There was a palace celebration. Shunzhi met Concubine Dong and fell in love at first sight. Therefore, the Emperor Shunzhi, who holds the imperial power, used means to kill the emperor, take away Concubine Dong E, and even almost made him a queen.
Judging from the preserved historical data, the relationship between Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E is very good. This is not only their age difference of only one year, the concubine Dong E is knowledgeable and beautiful, but also concubine Dong E takes care of the overall situation. For example, Concubine Dong E was named as sage concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and four months later she was crowned as an imperial concubine. Shunzhi wanted to depose Concubine Dong E as the new queen. Concubine Dong E resolutely opposed; Concubine Dong E was cautious when she was sick. Eyes are not closed".
Concubine Dong's empathy has comforted Shunzhi's soul, who grew up in the cruel imperial power struggle and experienced the warmth and warmth of the world. In the huge palace, even if his birth mother the Queen Mother of Xiaozhuang Bolzigit is not as deep as the two women who love them, their nurse and Concubine Dong,Be able to accompany you every day. Now, after Concubine Dong E gave birth to a child, she also died of jade. The poor generation of emperors finally gave up the prosperous world and went into the empty gate, devoting themselves to cultivating Buddha.
But is this really the case?
The Qing Shilu records the information about Emperor Shunzhi’s death like this: “Ding Si Yezi carved, collapsed in the Hall of Yangxin” , a simple 11-character description, does not explain the cause of Emperor Shunzhi, of course there are future generations There are plenty of reasons to suspect that Emperor Shunzhi might have a "false death".
Before his death, Emperor Shunzhi used the form of " sin " to inform the world, explaining what he had done in just 24 years, more self-blame and guilt. All of these are a little abnormal.
It is these "abnormalities" that make later generations believe that Emperor Shunzhi was tired of palace life and became a monk regardless of dissuasion. The empress dowager Xiaozhuang of the dynasty and the Qing court were irresponsible to Emperor Shunzhi’s and This is deliberately written.
As for , the convincing Emperor Shunzhi died of smallpox, and it seems to be tenable. At that time, smallpox was an acute infectious disease that could not be effectively cured. The royal family's "acne avoidance" has become a rule, and many people died of smallpox. The possibility of Emperor Shunzhi feeling smallpox and then dying is indeed very high.
However, people who understand medical science have done research. People infected with the so-called "smallpox" will suffer from malaise and confusion, and those who are serious will talk to themselves like evil. A person suffering from smallpox will not appear sane in any way before he dies, and he can tell his own will. Therefore, the "faith" is false, and it is not true that Emperor Shunzhi died of smallpox.
modern times, Zheng Chenggong Zheng Ling, the descendant of Zheng Ling, according to the manuscript of the Yanping King's Uprising left over from his ancestors, said that the Emperor Shunzhi was a personal conquest. He was hit by artillery during the Battle of Gaoqi and fell into the water, but he couldn't find him. Da Su, a general of the Qing army, did not dare to publicize the news and committed suicide in fear of crime. This statement shocked the world of history.
But this is also not able to withstand careful scrutiny. First, this is Zheng's manuscript. The battle of Gaoqi in history was Zheng Chenggong's battle to defend Xiamen against the Qing Dynasty. Descendants of the Zheng family suspected of elevating themselves. Secondly, if this is the case, it is not a shame that the emperor died in battle, let alone a trivial matter. Why did the Qing court keep covering it up? Therefore, this statement does not hold.
So, did Emperor Shunzhi who did not die of smallpox really become a monk?
The emperor is not an ordinary person. Being able to become a monk to preach the Dharma is a great event for the Buddhist school. Not to mention that Xuan Ye, the son of Shunzhi, has seen many unsuccessful visits. Even if the royal family remained silent, why didn't the later generations of the Buddhist family have more narratives?
Emperor Shunzhi certainly did not reign as emperor when he was 24 years old. He did not become a monk, nor did he die as a result of the imperial conquest. There is basically no possibility that his son Xuan Ye will usurp the throne. So Shunzhi’s death is a fact.
As for saying that after being infected with "smallpox", you can't impose "sin yourself", it just means that Shunzhi emperor was not waiting to see the royal family, including his biological mother, Empress Xiaozhuang, and took the opportunity to get down.
Although it is a mystery whether Shunzhi is a monk or not, and the "crime of oneself" is widely circulated, it cannot be avoided because of the name of the first Qing emperor I who entered the capital of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing. The measures such as surrendering chaos, promoting farmland, recruiting people to reclaim wasteland, rectifying officials, and punishing corrupt officials, made this 24-year-old second emperor of the Qing Dynasty worthy of the title of "Shizuo".
