Huang taiji, it should be said that in terms of personal ability, among all the sons of Nurhachi at that time, he definitely stood out from the crowd! According to historical records, because his father and brother fought abroad all the year round, Huang Taiji began to take charge of housework at the age of seven, and he kept it in good order. It can be seen that Huang Taiji had already made a difference when he was young.

Not only that, Huang taiji is skilled in archery and horse, and his martial arts are superb. He also unequivocally hunted the source of hunting and fought on all sides, and his exploits were second only to Daishan, but not as good as Mangutai. In addition, Huang taiji's cultural level is also very high, and he is proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Khan. Moreover, Huang Taiji is thoughtful, resourceful and shrewd, which is where he really stands out among his brothers.

Nurhachi knew that his time was coming. With his intelligence and life style, he fully realized that once his own affairs were not handled properly, it would ruin the bright future of Houjin in an instant. Therefore, Nurhachi will definitely have a careful arrangement for his successor before his death.

When Nurhachi's body returned to Shenyang, sure enough, Huang Taiji announced Nurhachi's last words in front of Baylor. The main content is to ask Abahai to be buried with two other favorite concubines. Abahai was forced to hang himself at the age of 37.

In fact, Dourgen was only 15 years old when Nurhachi died, so the real representative of Dourgen's power was his biological mother Abahai. Abahai is the daughter of the leader of Wula Department. After she married Nurhachi, she became Nurhachi's pet princess.

Therefore, Nurhachi's last words were not fabricated by Huang Taiji, but carefully arranged by Nurhachi. Because Abahai died, 15-year-old Dourgen was nothing at all, and it was natural for Huang Taiji to succeed to the throne.
