About This Novel
Xiaozhuang was a woman with great political wisdom. She accompanied Dorgon like a fierce tiger, observing Dorgon's behavior at any time and satisfying Dorgon's desires. She always mentioned Dorgon's title to that of the emperor's father and regent, thus avoiding Dorgon's ambition to kill the king and become self-reliant. Because of the words "Emperor Father and Regent", Qing history has left another major unsolved case: Did the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang marry Dorgon? This unsolved case has yet to be concluded. However, judging from the conflict between Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang, the relationship between Xiaozhuang and Dorgon deeply hurt Shunzhi's young heart. Therefore, after Shunzhi took charge, he always opposed his mother. Xiaozhuang was not an easy man, and he made things difficult for Shunzhi's favored concubine Dong E. Finally, Dong E died young, and Shunzhi soon contracted smallpox. He and Dong E became a pair of short-lived mandarin ducks, and they flew to heaven together. Shunzhi's life was a tragedy. Living under the shadow of Dorgon for a long time made him physically and mentally distorted. Since then, he has been unable to find a balance between body and mind. In the end, he failed to become a monk and died short-lived. It was a misfortune for him to be born into an imperial family.
