As the first emperor since the Qing entered the pass, the legendary love story of Aisin Gioro Fulin and his favorite Dong Efei is always touching.

and among the three thousand beauties, why did Shunzhi , who drank a single scoop of water, give birth to a total of 4 children, , in his limited life in 3 years, , and who did these children give birth to them?

Shunzhi was abolished and then established

In the long history of Qing Dynasty nearly 300 years, the royal family gave birth to hundreds of princes and princesses, among which Kangqian prosperous era was the most children, Kangxi Emperor had a total of 55 children, and Qianlong had 27 .

When it came to the decline of the late Qing Dynasty, nothing came out from the beginning of Tongzhi until the Qing Dynasty was destroyed by Puyi .

When the Qing Dynasty first entered the pass, the Qing Dynasty's regime was unstable. Shunzhi ascended the throne as a six-year-old child, and Dorgon was appointed as the regent, assisting Shunzhi in governing the court and the country.

When Shunzhi got married, Dorgon followed the custom of marriage between Manchu and Mongolia and selected the daughter of Wu Keshan, the prince of Prince Wu Keshan, for the young Emperor Shunzhi , and named him the queen.

However, Shunzhi did not have a good impression of Borjigit, and two years later he wanted to abolish him and demote him to a concubine. After hearing the news, the ministers began to argue and dissuade Shunzhi and disagree to abolish the Borjigit as the queen.

But Shunzhi, who had already made up his mind, was fully prepared, so in May of the second year after the abolition of the Borjigit family, he married another Borjigit family, the daughter of Korqin Belecherji.

But the freshness of this relationship passed quickly because the woman Shunzhi loved most in his life - Dong Efei appeared.

"White Moonlight" in Shunzhi's heart

Although Dong Efei is the Manchu white banner, she grew up in the water town of Jiangnan since childhood. She has a different tenderness and understanding temperament from the northern Manchu women.

And under the influence of Han culture, Dong Efei was proficient in literature and history, talked about ancient times and the present, and was full of poetry and literature.

plus her beautiful face, she was favored by Shunzhi when she first entered the palace and was awarded the title of Xianfei only more than a month later. Shunzhi promoted him to the imperial concubine, and wrote in the enthronement book "Smart and dignified, with excellent character. No one can compare to Dong Efei .

Such promotion speed is already an extremely rare situation in the history of the Qing Dynasty. What is even more surprising is that when Shunzhi enthroned Dong Efei as the imperial concubine, he also issued an edict and pardoned the world.

This time, the etiquette system for enthroning the imperial concubine was held in accordance with the ritual system of the empress, and even more than that.

Dong Efei was well-known and polite, and she knew the ancestral teachings of the harem that could not interfere in politics, and whenever Shunzhi wanted her to review it. During the memorial, everyone knew that he was moved with emotion and reason, and talked with Shunzhi about the various disadvantages brought about by the intervention of the Qing harem.

Dong Efei always served Shunzhi like a couple with a zither and zither. Therefore, Shunzhi loved such a "confidant" who was beautiful and able to understand his own feelings, and gave Dong Efei the supreme glory to surpass the ancestral system.

In ancient times, mothers were honored by their sons. If they got a Dragon son , they could protect the endless wealth and honor of concubines in this life.

In the eyes of Emperor Shunzhi, the fourth son born to Concubine Dong E was favored because this son was the crystallization of Shunzhi and his beloved, and had a different meaning from the child born through the family line.

So after the birth of the fourth son of the emperor, he also issued an edict to amnesty the world. In the edict, he was also called The first son of the emperor, , so Shunzhi attached great importance to him and regarded him as the legitimate descendant.

But God will make people do anything. Shunzhi and Dong Efei's only child died only three months after birth. In order to express his pity for the child, Shunzhi immersed himself in the grief of losing his beloved son and condolences. He posthumously named the fourth son of the emperor as Prince He Shuorong , built a tomb for him on a large scale, and held a grand funeral for him.

Dong Efei was weak and sickly since childhood and suffered the blow of losing her beloved son, which made her linger in her bed soon after, and died on August 19, three years later.

After Dong Efei passed away, Shunzhi posthumously named her as Empress Xiaoxian , and a funeral ceremony was held according to the empress's ritual system.

children of Shunzhi

Although Shunzhi favored Dong Efei alone, as the ruler of the dynasty, the monarch of the world cannot only care about love and ignore the people. He must take on the task of continuing the family line and maintaining the royal bloodline.

In Shunzhi's short 23-year-old life, a total of 14 royal bloodlines were born in the harem. The eldest son of the emperor was , a palace maid, Pastoralis, and the first prince, Niu Niu , according to Qing history, but he died only after 83 days.

But legend has it that in order to take full care of the royal family's face, the Qing court did not want the mother of the royal family's children to be humble, so he sent the prince out of the palace. He lied to the outside world that he died prematurely. Shunzhi also gave birth to two daughters with this concubine, Ba, , the third daughter of the emperor and the fifth daughter of the emperor, , respectively.

The second son of the emperor Fuquan was born to Dong E's family , who was the same lineage as Dong Efei, and was later named Prince Yu. The third son of the emperor was the later famous Emperor Kangxi Xuanye , and his biological mother was Empress Xiaokangzhang Tong Jia's .

The fifth son of the emperor Changning and the eldest daughter of the emperor were both born by the concubine Chen. Changning was later named Prince Gong and assisted Kangxi ; and The sixth son of the emperor Qishou The biological mother was the concubine Tang, and died at the age of seven.

The seventh son of the emperor, Long Xi, was born as the concubine Niuhulu, and was named Prince Chun, but at the age of 20, he died of illness. The eighth son of the emperor Yonggan also passed away at the age of eight, and his biological mother was the concubine Muketu.

and The second daughter of the emperor, the fourth daughter of the emperor and the sixth daughter of the emperor were produced by the concubines Yang, Wusu and Krinala respectively.

The second daughter of the emperor was named Princess Heshuo Gongque when she was 15 years old. Later, she married the nephew of Obai . Both the fourth daughter and the sixth daughter died early.

In the era of poor medical conditions in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi could not treat his beloved, nor could he save his own flesh and blood life. He also died young due to smallpox. Such a legendary life is really sad.
