and his son, as well as the Bordered Blue Banner under Chiurhala, were crucial to ensuring that Hooge could win the succession. After much dispute, Daišan started favouring Hooge, who ostensibly refused to take the throne. Hooge was actually waiting for others to urge him to take the throne, so that he could sit on it without projecting a power-hungry image of himself.

Dorgon nominated Fulin, another son of Hong Taiji born to
Consort Zhuang, to be the new ruler, so Fulin ascended to the throne as the
