The emperor shunzhi was the first emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains. Although he was forced to become an emperor when he was only 6 years old, he worked as a puppet emperor for several years, but he still made many achievements during his reign, which was in sharp contrast with those short-lived emperors later.

In addition, the emperor shunzhi gave birth to 12 children, including 8 sons and 4 daughters. Compared with the childless emperors in the late Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi was a very prolific emperor, and Michelle Ye ranked third among Shunzhi's eight sons.

The reason why Xiao Zhuang chose Michelle Ye as his successor;

Since Shunzhi had no chance to choose a successor, why did Xiao Zhuang choose Michelle Ye as his successor? In fact, the main reason is that Xiaozhuang likes Michelle Ye, which is deeply rooted since he was a child, and he didn't suddenly like it later.

It is said that when Michelle Ye's mother was pregnant with Michelle Ye, Xiaozhuang had noticed the baby in her belly because "her mother's clothes were full of light". In some popular words, when Michelle Ye was still in his mother's belly, there were already different signs, and the ancients paid special attention to these things.

Because Michelle Ye has not yet been born, there is this special omen. Xiaozhuang naturally pays great attention to and loves Michelle Ye. Since Michelle Ye was born, Xiaozhuang has been very concerned about it. He personally brought it to his side to raise and grow up, and personally trained Michelle Ye. This honor is unprecedented for the rest of the princes.

Michelle Ye often appears beside Xiaozhuang, which in itself increases Xiaozhuang's chance to know him. Coupled with Michelle Ye's intelligence and ambition, Xiaozhuang naturally loves him more. Later, Michelle Ye got smallpox, an incurable disease in people's eyes at that time, and survived smoothly. Xiaozhuang believes that it is the son who is arranged by God to lead the Qing Dynasty to prosperity.

Even from a rational point of view, Michelle Ye is unlikely to suffer from smallpox again after having already suffered from smallpox and surviving, which directly distinguishes Michelle Ye from other young children. Michelle Ye ranks third, only one elder brother is older than him, and the rest are estimated to be a few years old. The young prince succeeded to the throne. If smallpox, a strange disease, leads to premature death again, it will be a great loss and irresponsibility of the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, Xiaozhuang had assisted two emperors, Huang Taiji and Shunzhi, and his age was not small. In that era of short life, Xiaozhuang was also worried that if he died suddenly, the young emperor would have an unstable foundation and could not control the failure of state affairs. If anything happens again, it will be even worse.

Combining multiple factors, Xiao Zhuang chose Michelle Ye from his love for Michelle Ye, the future of Qing Dynasty and the imperial power of Aisingiorro family. He can't find another such suitable candidate except him. In other words, Xiao Zhuang at that time had little choice but to choose Michelle Ye to inherit the throne. It's that simple.
