In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, when Shunzhi became emperor, the party headed by Obai proposed to destroy the Ming Tombs. This would increase the prestige of the royal family and strengthen the country's wealth and power. However, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has always used her wisdom to protect the imperial tombs. The tomb-keeping organization headed by descendants of the Ming Dynasty also secretly prevented the eager Ao Bai from destroying the Ming Tombs. After a life-and-death struggle, Ao Bai passed away and the Ming Tombs were protected. The Ming Tombs were protected for generations due to the imperial decree of Emperor Kangxi.
