One day in 1678, Emperor Kangxi issued an edict to give all the grandsons of Wu Sangui to death, and the son of Princess Jianning was no exception. In this regard, Princess Jianning was very scared, she knelt in front of Kangxi and cried and begged: "It's please, spare my two children!."”
After this incident, Emperor Kangxi made a decision after careful consideration: to execute Wu Sangui's nine clans. Kangxi believed that Wu Sangui's descendants were very likely to avenge their father, which would be detrimental to the stability of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Kangxi had no choice but to make such a decision.
Princess Jianning's fate is full of ups and downs. Her mother was a member of the Chilei clan, and she was not treated well by Huang Taiji after marrying him. Huang Taiji was indifferent to the Qilei clan, so Princess Jianning also failed to receive enough attention and attention.Because she was not favored by Huang Taiji, Princess Jianning had almost no presence in the palace, like a pawn manipulated by others. Later, Princess Jianning grew up a little and became a tool for political marriage, and was forced to marry Wu Yingxiong.
However, Kangxi eventually ordered the killing of Wu Sangui's nine clans, which of course also included Princess Jianning's two children.
As the aunt of Emperor Kangxi, Princess Jianning decided to intercede with Kangxi through this relationship. She didn't believe that Kangxi would be so ruthless to herself. Therefore, Princess Jianning found an opportunity to come to Kangxi to explain her request.
When Kangxi saw Princess Jianning, he understood what she expected from her eyes. However, Kangxi thought noncommittally about what Princess Jianning said. As the ruler of the country, Kangxi must put the interests of the country first.
If the two children of Princess Jianning are released,This can have serious consequences. Considering that Kangxi executed Wu Sangui's nine clans,Both the father and grandfather of these two children were killed by Kangxi, so they became a potential disaster. If these children grow up to cause trouble, then it will be too late to rectify them, and the stability of the country will be shaken.
Seeing that Kangxi didn't react, Princess Jianning burst into tears again.
She said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, please forgive my two sons. Kangxi was silent, he was thinking about Princess Jianning's request. As an emperor, you must be cautious in every step, and a wrong decision can bring unavoidable disasters to the country.
Previously,Wu Sangui launched a rebellion, and Kangxi learned of it and executed Wu Yingxiong and his second son, which made Princess Jianning feel very painful. She immediately sought to meet with Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, but Kangxi at the time ignored her. After all, the life and death of one person is insignificant in relation to the country as a whole.
Subsequently, Wu Sangui died of illness, but this did not reassure Kangxi. He ordered the killing of Wu Sangui's nine clans, which could not be tolerated by both young and old. Princess Jianning's two children are also descendants of Wu Sangui, so they must also be killed.
Kangxi is under pressure to maintain the stability of the country, and no matter how hard Princess Jianning tries, Kangxi can't agree to her. After all, no one wants to leave a potential threat in a stable country. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Kangxi rejected Princess Jianning's request.
As a result, Princess Jianning's two children were also executed by Kangxi.
After the death of the children, Princess Jianning fell into a breakdown. She couldn't even have one last face with her two children, and Princess Jianning fainted on the spot. When she woke up, the child was gone. Princess Jianning watched her family disappear one by one, and although her heart was full of reluctance, she couldn't say anything at the moment.
Although Princess Jianning herself was not killed, her heart was already dead. From then on, Princess Jianning's days were spent in reminiscing about this sad memory until her death.
Conclusion: The story of Princess Jianning has also become one of the most tragic stories in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty.
