In The Secret History of Xiaozhuang, did Shunzhi ascend to the throne because of Dourgen or thanks to Da Yuer?

There are three theories in history. First, after the death of Huang Taiji, Da Yuer of Dourgen got married. Second, the two maintain a simple sister-in-law and brother-in-law relationship. The third is to live together in secret and maintain the relationship between lovers. The secret history of Xiaozhuang is the third kind. They are lovers. But besides the relationship between Xiao Zhuang and Dourgen, Dourgen also considered many factors before deciding to make Shunzhi reign.

At that time, after the death of Huang Taiji, there was no successor. Dourgen and Haug had a very tense relationship because they were fighting for the throne. Both sides have their own supporters and strong strength, but Dourgen is politically superior to Hogg. In the end, Dourgen took the overall situation into consideration and decided to let the young the emperor shunzhi reign, and Dourgen himself became the Regent. During his tenure as regent, Dourgen laid down more than half of the Qing Dynasty.

According to historical data, Da Yuer and Dourgen have always maintained a lover relationship. Because the two had feelings, the fortune teller said that Da Yuer looked like a queen, and Huang Taiji also took pains to win love, but the inner pain could not be said. Later, Huang Taiji died, and in the dangerous harem, Da Yuer kept an underground love affair with Dourgen for Shunzhi.

Dourgen loves her very much. At that time, he could have married her as queen and become emperor himself. After all, Manchu also has a rule that a brother-in-law can marry a sister-in-law after his death. But at that time, Haug and his two sides were at loggerheads. If they want to fight hard, they will only take back the mountains and rivers that were so easy to lay before. Finally, Fu Lin, another son of Huang Taiji, became the emperor shunzhi. In addition to being young and easy to control, Shunzhi can also satisfy Dourgen's ambition to govern the country.
