In 1705, Aunt Su Mala, who had not bathed all year round and had not taken medicine for the rest of her life, died of illness at the age of 93. The 51-year-old Kangxi ordered that he be buried according to the concubine ceremony, and all the princes wore linen and filial piety, and took turns to guard the spirit. The eunuch was puzzled, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, how could there be a prince who guarded the soul of the palace maid?Kangxi replied: She is my mother!More than 200 years later, it was found that the tomb of Su Malagu was not built on the ground, and only a treasure roof remained. Why is the tomb buried by Kangxi so shabby?
Su Malagu, formerly known as Su Mo'er, was born in a poor herdsman's family in Horqin, Mongolia. At the age of 14, Su Mo'er was favored by the Korqin Baylor Mansion with her intelligence and became the personal maid of Baylor's second daughter. Baylor's second daughter is named Bumu Butai, who is only 13 years old, and she is the later Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang. In 1625, Bumu Butai married his uncle Huang Taiji, and Su Mo'er went to Shengjing (now Shenyang) as a dowry maid.
After Bumu Butai got married, he was not favored. Rather than competing for favor, she prefers to learn Manchu and Chinese, and she is very happy. Under her influence, Su Mo'er also quickly mastered Manchu Chinese and could write good calligraphy. In 1643, Huang Taiji died, and he did not establish a prince during his lifetime. The 31-year-old Xiaozhuang saw the opportunity to support his 6-year-old son Fulin to ascend the throne as emperor. However, at that time, the regent Dolgon was in power, and in order to prevent Xiaozhuang from interfering in politics, he stipulated that Xiaozhuang could only see his son for 2 months. At this time, the task of visiting Fulin was handed over to Su Mo'er.
Even, Su Moer also asked to see Dolgon many times, telling him the allusion of Zhou Gongfu becoming king, as well as the revelation of Zhu Di's usurpation. Under her hints, Dorgon never dared to usurp power. Fulin can sit firmly on the throne, which has Su Mo'er's great credit. In the late Shunzhi period, Su Mo'er changed her name to the name of the Manchus, that is, Su Mala, and "Gu" was the honorific title for the elders in the Qing court. In 1654, Aixinjue Luo Xuanye was born, Xiaozhuang was overjoyed, and sent Su Malagu to take care of Xuanye, and asked her to teach Xuanye to learn Manchu and practice Manchu calligraphy.
Xuan Ye contracted smallpox when he was 2 years old, and Aunt Su Mala took care of him every step of the way, accompanying him during the day and reading medical books at night to find a cure for pox. Hard work pays off, Xuan Ye will not die in the catastrophe will have a blessing, because he has already had smallpox, he was elected as the emperor, that is, the Kangxi Emperor we are familiar with. Kangxi is grateful for Su Malagu's meticulous care, and often calls Su Malagu "Enie", which means elder and mother.
In 1688, the 75-year-old Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang died, and Su Malagu was so grief-stricken that she lost her backbone. In order to give the old man a comfort, Kangxi handed over his twelfth son Yinyi to Aunt Su Mala to raise him personally. Under the care of Aunt Su Mala, Yinyu grew into a prince who was calm and not arrogant. Kangxi's nine sons broke out in his later years, and Yinyi didn't want to participate, so he spent it peacefully. Yinyou was grateful to Aunt Su Mala for nurturing her, so after Aunt Su Malagu died, Yinyou took the initiative to ask for food and chanting for her.
When Su Malagu died, Kangxi was on patrol, and in order to see Su Malagu for the last time, he sent two decrees to keep Su Malagu's body for another 15 days. In order to repay Su Malagu's contribution to the royal family, Kangxi ordered Su Malagu to be buried according to the etiquette of the concubine. After Su Malagu was buried, Kangxi parked her coffin next to the Zigong Palace in Xiaozhuang, that is, in the temporary shrine under Changrui Mountain.
However, until Kangxi's death, he was unable to solve the problem of the tombs of Xiaozhuang and Su Malagu. It was not until Yongzheng ascended the throne that he rebuilt the Anfeng Hall into the Zhaoxi Mausoleum as the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
But Su Malagu is not a member of the royal family and is not a concubine, according to the ancestral system, she cannot be buried with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in the Zhaoxi Mausoleum. After some consideration, Yongzheng decided to be 1At a distance of 5 km, a tomb was built for Su Malagu. The tomb is small in scale, the area of the underground palace is small, and the four walls are also unremarkable. Later, in troubled times, Su Malagu's tomb was destroyed and stolen, and to this day, there is only one large vat in the underground palace.
Su Malagu came from a humble background, but she accompanied the two emperors with wisdom and kindness, and also wrote an extraordinary life with low-key and humility. She and the master and servant of Xiaozhuang have achieved each other, leaving a story for future generations.
