 names is carelessly done, and the style is crude. For these reasons both Shih-lu were many times revised, and a third was completed about 1686, under the title Ch'ing T'ai-tsu Kao Huang-ti shih-lu, 10 chüan. The original manuscripts of three different drafts made in preparation for this Shih-lu were reproduced in 1933–34 under the title, T'ai-tsu Kao Huang-ti shih-lu kao-pên san-chung (稿本三種). The fourth and last Shih-lu, in 10 chüan, was completed early in 1740 under the same title as the third. It was published in 1931. This last version satisfied Emperor Kao-tsung because it excluded all references that hurt his pride. It became standard throughout the ensuing years until the discovery and publication of the earlier versions. Though all these versions of the Shih-lu are in Chinese, they are nevertheless based on early Manchu manuscript records. An incomplete copy of an original Manchu manuscript (31 volumes) is preserved in the Palace Museum, Peiping, and a copy of the same, revised in the Ch'ien-lung period, in 179 volumes, is in the Palace Museum in Mukden. The latter has recently been put into Chinese, and an abridged edition was published in 1929 by Chin-liang (see under ) under the title, 滿洲老檔秘錄 Man-chou lao-tang pi-lu. These Manchu records cover the early years (1607–16), the T'ien-ming period (1616–27) of Nurhaci's reign, and the T'ien-ts'ung period (1627–36) of Abahai's reign.

OBOI 鼇拜, d. 1669, a Manchu of the Bordered Yellow Banner, was the third son of Uici 偉齊, one of the members of the important Solgo family of the Gûwalgiya clan. In 1634, in return for his military services, he was, granted an hereditary commission as niru i janggin (captain of a company) and appointed to the position of colonel. For bravery shown in the attack on the island fortresses of the Ming armies, he was in 1637 made a baron of the third class and given the honorary title, baturu. After further military service in 1641 and 1643 he was rewarded with the rank of viscount of the third class. In 1644 he followed to Peking and continued to serve with distinction in the army. After being raised to a viscount of the first class (1645), he took part in several important campaigns during Dorgon's regency-fighting first against, then against , and finally against. Apparently he was one of Dorgon's trusted men. However, in 1651, immediately after Dorgon's death (late in 1650), he and several courtiers assisted Emperor Shih-tsu (i.e.,, q.v.) to get rid of Dorgon 's faction and so have more power in government. Oboi was made a marquis and a year later (1652) was raised to a duke of the second class. He also held the highest military rank, namely chamberlain of the Imperial Bodyguard. In addition to 599
