The mysterious death of the emperor is a common phenomenon in history, especially in the Qing Dynasty. Based on various historical records, we will find an amazing fact: more than half of the twelve emperors in the Qing Dynasty died unexpectedly.
1. Nurhachi, master of ambition
Qing Taizu Aixinjue Luo Nuerhachi, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, rose up at the age of 25, unified the ministries of Jurchen, pacified the pass in eastern China, established the post-Jin Dynasty, and established the Yuan destiny. After the Battle of Salhu, he moved to Shenyang. After that, it swept Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty captured more than 70 cities in Liaoning.
In the eleventh year of the mandate of heaven (1626), Nurhachi, who claimed to have seven great hatreds with the Ming Dynasty, rushed to Shanhaiguan, only to be blocked by Yuan Chonghuan in Ningyuan. In the fierce battle, he was bombarded by red artillery and died a few months later.
2. Huang taiji who is dedicated to his country
Huang taiji is the eighth son of Nurhachi. After Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji was elected to the post of Khan. In AD 1636, Huang Taiji was honored as "Bogda Chechen Khan" by Mongols in Monan, also known as Tiancong Khan. In the same year, it changed the Jurchen nationality to Manchuria, and proclaimed itself emperor in Shenyang, reigning 17.
Huang taiji also died inexplicably: 1643 On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month (the eighth year of Chongde), he died suddenly in Shengjing harem (suddenly on the desk in the office) at the age of 52. The propaganda of the Qing dynasty was that karoshi was a martyr, and it was called "sitting up and collapsing", which may have been added to the night shift.
There are many controversies about the cause of death of Huang Taiji in history. There is a folk saying that his younger brother Dourgen stole his sister-in-law, and conspired with Huang Taiji's Zhuang Fei to poison Huang Taiji (another saying is that he was killed by a pillow). It is also said that Huang taiji was diligent in political affairs all his life, and his personal efforts led to overwork. In addition, Chen Fei's death made him heartbroken, causing a latent serious illness and sudden death, which aroused many doubts.
3. Do not love Jiangshan and love Shunzhi.
Aisingiorro Fu Lin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the first emperor since the Qing army entered the customs, was named "Shunzhi" and was known as the emperor shunzhi in history.
In August of the eighth year of Chongde (1643 September 2 1), Huang Taiji died, and Huang Taiji did not designate an heir to the throne before his death. Fu Lin's half-brother, Hogg, and his uncle, Dourgen, competed for this position, and finally Dourgen helped Fu Lin succeed. August 26th (1643101October 8th) inherited his father's position. At the age of six, he was assisted by his uncle Prince Dourgen and Zheng Qinwang Gilhallan. In fact, the Qing court was controlled by Dourgen. In the seventh year of Shunzhi, the uncle Regent Dourgen died, and the emperor shunzhi, aged 14, began to lead the government.
Later, because of the death of his beloved Dong Fei, he clamored to become a monk and even shaved his hair. Two years later, Ding Si (166 1 February 5) died of depression in the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, at the age of 24.
4. "Emperor through the ages" Kangxi
Emperor Kangxi, the defender of China's unified multi-ethnic country, laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, initiated the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong, and was honored as the "Emperor through the ages" by later scholars. You may think that Kangxi died of natural causes. He lived to the age of 68 and died a natural death. In fact, there is also a saying that Yongzheng made a difference. At that time, a man named Ceng Jing was arrested by Yongzheng. He went on to publicize that Yongzheng sent Kangxi a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, and Kangxi died. Ma Guoxian, an Italian in Beijing, also said that on the day the emperor died, there was a panic in the palace. Even if no one poisoned him, it was a big change.
Did Yongzheng do something wrong? Anyway, after Yongzheng acceded to the throne, he immediately changed the record, saying that his father had been ill for a long time, saying that he "got up early, his hands were shaking, and his appearance was indecent" and "his face suddenly changed when his heart beat", which was written in great detail. However, there is no ghost in your heart. Why did you revise your father's medical record?
5. Qing Sejong Yongzheng
After the death of Kangxi, his fourth son, Aisingiorro Yin? Become the fifth head of the Qing dynasty. His series of social reforms played a key role in the continuation of the prosperous period of Kanggan.
As for the cause of Yongzheng's death, the historical records are very simple, only that Yongzheng was seriously ill in the palace of Yuanmingyuan the day before and critically ill the next afternoon. He called the minister urgently and died that night. What caused the death of Yongzheng is not recorded in historical materials. The reason for Yongzheng's sudden death was not recorded in official books, which naturally aroused people's doubts. In addition, there were many legends and comments about him at that time, which easily aroused people's doubts, so various statements about dying came into being.
There are even more rumors about the death of Yongzheng. Some said that Lv Siniang had his head cut off, some said that he had eaten Dan medicine and aphrodisiac, some said that he was strangled by a maid-in-waiting, and even said that it was because Yongzheng robbed Cao Xueqin's girlfriend, and Cao Xueqin ran to the palace and poisoned Yongzheng.
Among many speculations, Dan medicine is more likely to be poisoned. Yong Zhengdi became interested in alchemy as early as when he was a prince. At that time, the main purpose of an alchemist was to show his father that he did not seek the throne, but only devoted himself to an alchemist. He also wrote a poem called "Burning Dan": "Draw sand as medicine, pine and cypress around the cloud altar. The furnace contains yin and yang fire, both inside and outside. Yongzheng's obsession with Dan medicine is the last emperor in China's ancient history who loved Taoist priests and was obsessed with Dan medicine. Historians have done a lot of research on the archives of the Qing Dynasty in recent years, and more and more historians believe that Yongzheng was most likely poisoned by taking Dan medicine. If it was suspected that it was poisoned by Taoist Dan medicine, Yang thought it was "poisoned by bait Dan medicine" in the book Study on Yong Zhengdi and His Secret Fold System.
6. "Shiquan old man" is proud of the spring breeze
Aisingiorro Hongli, emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was named "Qianlong". During the reign of Li Hong, the Qing Dynasty reached its highest peak since the heyday of Kanggan, and Sinology developed greatly during this period. Li Hong was a famous emperor in the late feudal society of China. However, in the later period of his rule, a group of corrupt officials, such as extravagant and close to gentry, appeared some corruption in official management and broke out many uprisings. Moreover, the closed door reached the highest level, which widened the gap with the west and caused the crisis of the Qing Dynasty. The style of literary inquisition is more severe than that of Kangxi and Yongzheng.
Gan Long once boasted that he had "no martial arts" all his life, calling himself "the perfect old man", and wrote The Book of Perfection, which enabled him to write Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan four styles and build a monument to write essays. He died in the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799) at the age of 89.

Some people say that he is unlucky. 1820 was struck by lightning on the way back from chengde mountain resort. Fell off his horse and was unrecognizable. But according to historical data, we think he died of a sudden illness. "A Record of Injong in Qing Dynasty" records: "This time, I feel awkward? [6] No problem! I don't want to kiss you, but I don't want to forgive you. Pull? Kang, why don't you change your mind? What's the matter with you? Which ring is it? Rudder "? ┩/p & gt；
8. Xuanzong Daoguang in Qing Dynasty
Aisingiorro, Xuanzong of Qing Dynasty? Funing was the eighth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the only emperor in the Qing Dynasty who succeeded to the throne as the eldest son. During his reign, the Qing dynasty became increasingly weak, and he practiced frugality and was diligent in government affairs. However, as an emperor, his qualifications are not high, and his social disadvantages are hard to return. The Qing Dynasty declined further, and the gap with the West became wider and wider. In the 20th year of Daoguang (1840), the Opium War broke out between China and Britain, and China was defeated, so he was forced to sign treaty of nanking, which humiliated his power and country. After that, ten years F: I'd rather be patient and muddle along without any measures to learn from the west and revitalize the dynasty. In the thirty years of Daoguang (1850), he died on the 14th day of the first month. After 30 years in office, he is 69 years old.
9. Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty
Xianfeng, full name Aisingiorro Yixin. The fourth son of Daoguang Emperor, who ascended the throne at the age of 20, was the last emperor who succeeded to the throne in secret in the Qing Dynasty, and also the last emperor who mastered the actual sovereignty in history of qing dynasty. Shortly after Xianfeng ascended the throne, there was a peasant uprising in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and then the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing and burned the Yuanmingyuan. The situation is turbulent and the war is constant. Xianfeng's private life is a bit messy, lewd, gluttonous, smoking opium and hollowed out. In addition, the Yuanmingyuan was burned by the British and French allied forces, and it collapsed without a breath.
10. Tongzhi of Mu Zong in Qing Dynasty
After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, it was directly passed on to his only son, Tongzhi Emperor Zai Chun, and his mother was the famous Empress Dowager Cixi. During the Tongzhi period, class contradictions intensified, and many peasant uprisings, such as Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Nianjun, Miao and Hui, took place. Economically, adopting the policy of "self-improvement" and "seeking wealth" of the Westernization School, opening some new industries, training the navy and army to strengthen the political power, was called "Tongzhi revival" by the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty.
Because of the strict family management, I went to the palace for whoring every day and died of sexually transmitted diseases at the age of 19. During the period of 1979, experts and professors from China No.1 Historical Archives, Chinese Medicine Research Institute and Beijing Hospital made a special discussion on the development of Tongzhi Emperor's illness and medication, and everyone still came to the conclusion that Tongzhi Emperor died of smallpox.
1 1. "Emperor prisoner" Guangxu
Another unlucky emperor, named Emperor, was actually controlled by his aunt Cixi and others half the time. The pro-government in the middle initiated the "Reform Movement of 1898", which was betrayed and never took power in his life. The whole reform only lasted 103 days, so it was called "hundred-day reform". After the coup, power once again fell into the hands of Cixi, who announced that Emperor Guangxu was ill and could not be the director, and actually imprisoned him in Xiyuan Yingtai, becoming a prisoner without cangue. Now it is said that Guangxu died at the hands of Cixi.
