Why did Dourgen choose to support Fu Lin when he was close to the throne?

On August 9th, the eighth year of Chongde, after dealing with a lot of heavy government affairs, Huang Taiji went to rest in the palace of Empress Zhezhe, but he never thought that this rest would be the end of his life. Huang Taiji died suddenly from 9: 00 to 11: 00 in the evening.

Obviously, Huang Taiji didn't anticipate his death, so he didn't explain a series of matters after his death. The arrival of death quietly caught the whole Qing Dynasty off guard and triggered another fierce battle for the throne.

According to Huang taiji's system of succession to the throne, those who are eligible to inherit his throne must be Huang taiji's children. However, before his death, Huang Taiji did not clearly establish who was the new emperor. Therefore, everything is still unknown. After all, under the temptation of a country's supreme power, there will still be constant struggles. At that time, the two most competitive people were Prince Dorje of Switzerland (the younger brother of Huang Taiji) and Prince Hao of Su (the son of Huang Taiji).

Dourgen

Dourgen is a rare military talent. He made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. His two brothers, Azig and Dodo, strongly supported Dourgen's succession. He had this idea himself, so he went to Sanguan Temple and asked who would inherit it. Unexpectedly, the answer was: "If the first emperor had a son, he would build one. I don't know." The meaning of this sentence is obvious, that is, although I don't know who to let, I must let Huang Taiji's son! (in a word, it's not your turn to dourgen, no matter how good you are, you will become the first emperor and have children. )

On August 14th, the eighth year of Chongde, everyone began to sit together and discuss this matter. The argument was fierce, but it was obvious that the situation was not good for him. Dourgen is a smart man and won't fight for himself. He introduced Xiaozhuang's son Fu Lin.

Dourgen and the throne are close at hand, but why did Dourgen choose to support six-year-old Fu Lin? Why did Dourgen support Fu Lin and not others?

First, as far as Dourgen himself is concerned.

After Huang taiji's death, didn't Dourgen fight for transposition? He wants to, and he wants to very much. However, why don't you fight for the throne at hand, but choose to support Xiaozhuang's son? Many people naturally thought of it, because of the old love between Dourgen and Xiaozhuang. (These are irrelevant reasons. )

First of all, Dourgen is considering the overall situation. Dourgen, who laid the foundation for the Qing Dynasty, valued the stability of the Qing Dynasty most. In this respect, what Dourgen did was indeed a gentleman's move. In addition, Dourgen is a wise man. When people discuss the heir, they throw out Fu Lin, a six-year-old child. Although he doesn't want to, it's a stopgap measure, because after all, people always think that there is no way to set up the son of the first emperor.

Secondly, as far as Fu Lin is concerned.

Even if Dourgen didn't fight for the throne for himself, there is no need to leave Fu Lin!

First of all, Fu Lin is still young, which is more conducive to Dourgen's control of state affairs. Dourgen temporarily added a title to himself when he held Lifu, and JiErlang and Dourgen were both ministers of auxiliary government. But four months later, "Fuzheng" successfully became "Regent", and then Gil Harlan abandoned his helmet and armor, indicating that Dourgen should be above himself. As a result, Regent Dourgen became the only figure in the Qing Dynasty who commanded more than 10,000 people.

Fu Lin

In addition, Fu Lin was born to Zhuang Fei, and his mother was the tallest of all concubines born to Qin Shihuang. His mother's aunt is the Empress Zhezhe. Both of them belong to the Gege Borzigit family from Horqin grassland, and they have a prominent position in both her family and her husband's family. Therefore, Fu Lin is destined to be superior to other brothers from birth. There is also a subtle relationship with foreigners, that is, Manchu and Mongolian interests. Behind Fu Lin's succession is the support of the entire Horqin Prairie.

Third, as far as Haug is concerned.

First of all, in terms of age, Haug can't reach the controllable effect that Fu Lin can bring to Dourgen; Although Haug was highly valued by Huang Taiji when he was alive and made outstanding achievements, he still didn't get a word from Huang Taiji to inherit the throne.

Judging from the origin of Haug, although he meets the requirements of "the son of the late emperor" and is the eldest son of the late emperor, her mother's status is humble.

There is also a direct reason. When everyone was discussing the succession, Hogg impulsively called a spade a spade, saying that he was too humble to bear the heavy responsibility. Really speechless. 1 Player Haug abstained automatically and withdrew from the competition! Although unconsciously, the words have fallen to the ground and everyone is really listening. . .

In this way, a little doll less than six years old opened her own imperial era.
