The Mongol-Manchu marriage relationships were practiced starting from the 17th century. Nurhaci and Hungtaiji had many Korchin Mongols of the Borjigid clan as wives and concubines. The aim was to preserve political alliances. In 1650, the Shunzhi emperor married his mother's niece, she was also a Khorchin Mongol, a branch of the Mongol Borjigit clan. She was chosen to be the regent Dorgon. Three years later, the Shunzhi emperor said that she was spoiled, extravagant and arrogant, the emperor demoted the empress. Actually, the Shunzhi emperor didn't want to marry the mongolian empress. When the Shunzhi emperor chose his second empress, he wanted to select from daughters of Manchu officials. He also married the daughter of the Mongol Khorchin prince. After he assumed personal rule in 1651, the Shunzhi emperor ordered the Upper three Banners to be under the control of the emperor. The emperor elevated daughter of the Manchu Donggo clan from the rank of Consort Xian to the status of Imperial Noble Consort. The Shunzhi emperor wanted to change the Mongol-Manchu marriage relationships, and he thought it most necessary that there was the manchu empress in the Qing Dynasty.
