According to official records, the emperor shunzhi died of smallpox at the age of 24.
Shunzhi was an undervalued emperor. As a young emperor, he lived in the shadow of his uncle and regent Dourgen. He often worried that Dourgen would be replaced by himself or even killed himself, so he showed great respect for Dourgen.
However, after Dourgen's death, Shunzhi, who was only 14 years old, quickly turned against Dourgen, dug graves, whipped his body and beheaded his henchmen. His revenge was fierce, showing maturity and biting beyond his age, and he soon came to power.
During Shunzhi's pro-government, he completed the entry of the Qing army into Beijing. Moreover, he has always been ambitious and committed to developing the economy, laying the foundation for the future national reunification and the later "prosperity of health and happiness". He was an emperor with great ambitions, but his role was greatly underestimated.
Such a young emperor, in the rising period of the Qing Dynasty, would never become a monk as long as his brain was not crazy and his IQ was normal, even if he was troubled by the failure of state affairs and even if his beloved woman died. In fact, the emperor shunzhi was infected with smallpox on the second day of the first month of 166 1, and his high fever persisted, making him seriously ill. Smallpox was an incurable disease at that time, and the gods could not save it. Shunzhi knew that he was in critical condition and difficult to treat, and began to arrange the funeral.
On the sixth day of the first month, Wang Xi, then assistant minister of does and bachelor of imperial academy, was called to hall of mental cultivation to listen to the will of Shunzhi and was ordered to draft a will. Later, Wang Xi described this history in detail in "Self-Written Chronicle", clearly recording that Shunzhi said to him: "I have acne, and I can't afford it. You can listen to me carefully and write a letter quickly. "
Wang Xi's "Tears can't stop, idioms can't be typed correctly". He tried his best to draft his will three times a day and finalized it the next night. That night, the emperor shunzhi died at the age of 24.
Because he died in the prime of life, the emperor shunzhi died suddenly, which made people suspicious. There are all kinds of rumors among the people that Shunzhi has only one empty coffin in the Qing Dongling. He himself saw through the world of mortals and became a monk. He also said that his son Kangxi went to Wutai Mountain many times later, not as a Buddha, but to visit his father, with a nose and eyes.
In fact, no matter other dynasties, the emperors in the history of China never lacked a sense of mystery. It's just the fate of the Qing emperor, the mystery one after another, the mystery of Shunzhi becoming a monk, the mystery of Yongzheng headless, the mystery of tongzhi venereal disease, the mystery of Guangxu poisoning ... The sooner the emperor dies, the more mysteries there will be.
In fact, the author's statement about Shunzhi becoming a monk is purely a shot in the dark, because the people are not interested in the official history and have no chance to get in touch with it, and all kinds of strange stories are more to their taste, so many people know nothing about the official history of "Shunzhi died of smallpox" and even turn a deaf ear to it, but they talk about the so-called becoming a monk and spread it around.
This hobby of the masses is like being indifferent to state affairs, but very interested in all kinds of wonderful social news and entertainment gossip. It is the same reason that they madly forward, comment and praise every time they meet, but film and television dramas are not history, and ratings are the ultimate goal. In order to cater to the audience's appetite, it's natural for writers and directors to incorporate all kinds of unofficial history legends into it.
Today's braid drama in Qing Dynasty is really harmful, which not only beautifies the Qing Dynasty, but also often confuses history, reverses right and wrong, confuses true and false, and confuses false with true. But many people are deeply involved in it, which is really the sorrow of the literary and art circles and Chinese people. The braid play in Qing dynasty can stop!
