When the Qing army entered the customs, Dourgen asked the scholar, when did Qing die? What was the answer?

The old man replied, "what you get from the regent loses the regent;" You get benefits from orphans and widows, but you lose them. " This answer is beyond dourgen's expectation. He wanted to ask more questions, but Lao Dao didn't want to answer any more. Dourgen can only thank him and leave the road.

In Chongzhen 17, the rebel army headed by Li Zicheng invaded the capital, and Chongzhen was at the end of the road, committing suicide in Jingshan, behind the Forbidden City. With the death of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty stepped down from the historical stage. After Li Zicheng captured the capital, not only Wu Sangui's father was detained, but also Wu Sangui's concubine was seized. Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Shanhaiguan at that time, was extremely angry, but soon after, Wu Sangui took refuge in Dourgen. Wu Sangui wants to save his family and avenge himself. With Wu Sangui's army, Dourgen is stronger. He took Shunzhi and the Qing army, who were only six years old, to Beijing and went straight to the Central Plains, where he became emperor. General Dourgen is very proud of his great cause, but he is also curious about the fate of the Qing Dynasty. When did the Qing Dynasty perish?

After the Qing army invaded the pass, Dourgen asked a respected Taoist. When did the Qing Dynasty perish? ? The old man replied, "what you get from the regent loses the regent;" You get benefits from orphans and widows, but you lose them. " Hearing this, Dourgen felt that the old Taoist priest's answer was very accurate, because the Regent should be himself, and the orphans and widows were the Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang and Little Fu Lin. He thinks it's because of him. The Qing army can win the world and seize the throne so smoothly. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that this is the credit of the Regent, although he has not been crowned king at this time. But he didn't understand what it meant to lose to the Regent. He wanted to keep asking questions, but the old Taoist said he didn't want to reveal the secret any more. So dourgen can only put away his curiosity and stop asking questions.

The old Taoist priest's answer is obviously a prophecy. Although it is speculation, it is still quite accurate. After all, the Regent really died in the Qing Dynasty, and Puyi and the Empress Dowager were also orphans and widows. So what the old Taoist priest said makes sense.
