Yongzheng died, why was he buried with Nian Shilan? Not a queen?
When it comes to the disgusting characters in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the sinister, cunning and ruthless Hua Fei Nian Shilan is undoubtedly the best among them. It is worth noting that the character of Nian Shilan is not fictional, but evolved from the real Dunsu Imperial Concubine in history.
However, unlike Nian Shilan, who died tragically in the play, the concubine of the Dunsu Emperor was buried in the Tailing of the Yongzheng Emperor after her death, and even slept in the same cave with the emperor. So, why did this concubine get the glory of being like a queen?
In the film and television drama "Nian Shilan", Nian Shilan is a disgusting character. Because she was born noble, and her brother Nian Qianyao was a tiger general in the Qing Dynasty army, Nian Shilan has no one in her eyes since she entered the harem, and she doesn't care about anyone.
When Yongzheng was still a prince, Nian Shilan had become a side Fujin in the mansion, and was pregnant with Yongzheng's child while living in Prince Yong's mansion. However, after drinking the "fetal pill" sent by Concubine Duan, she unfortunately miscarried, which made Nian Shilan hold a grudge against Concubine Duan.
In fact, this bowl of "fetal medicine" was given by the Queen Mother, but Concubine Duan was wronged. In order to retaliate, Nian Shilan forced Concubine Duan to drink the whole pot of safflower to relieve the hatred in her heart.
In the play, we can see that Nian Shilan is a very vindictive person. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, she was named "Concubine Hua" and assisted the queen Wulanala clan in managing the harem.
On the surface, Concubine Hua's status is lower than that of the queen, but she is arrogant and arrogant, and she does not take the Wulanala clan in her eyes, but uses the power of the Nian family to fly in the harem. She also enlisted Concubine Li, Cao Guiren and others as allies to compete with the queen.
As the protagonist of film and television dramas, Zhen Huan has been affected by her many times. Concubine Hua thought that she could not be defeated, but she didn't know that Yongzheng was wary of her and the Nian family, and even planned to get rid of Nian Qianyao.
Concubine Hua, who was bent on getting Yongzheng's favor, didn't realize this. This is "self-inflicted, can't live", Concubine Hua's evil deeds eventually led to her own disaster.
The clever Zhen Huan teamed up with Yongzheng and successfully eradicated the scourge of Concubine Hua.
Zhen Huan and Yongzheng's love experience is full of twists and turns. She skillfully used Concubine Hua's psychology of underestimating the enemy and successfully weakened Concubine Hua's power. However, Concubine Hua did not stop her plan because of this, but burned down Zhen Huan's residence.
Yongzheng therefore sent Concubine Hua into the cold palace. Concubine Hua originally had hope, but the truth revealed by Zhen Huan made her feel hopeless. It turned out that the Huanyi incense given by Yongzheng to Concubine Hua implied musk, which was a trap he set in order to prevent Concubine Hua from becoming pregnant, and then threatening the imperial power.
After Concubine Hua learned the truth, she crashed into the wall and died in grief. Although Concubine Hua is a person in the cold palace, her posthumous affairs have not been properly handled, and she will not die well in the end.
The ending of Nian Shilan's prototype Dunsu Imperial Concubine is not a copy of the Chinese concubine in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". In historical records, Emperor Yongzheng's feelings for Nian are far deeper than those portrayed in the play.
Although Emperor Yongzheng regarded Nian Shilan as a political tool in the play, in fact, his love and love for Nian was from the heart. Nian is not as domineering and cunning as people think, but a virtuous and gentle woman.
Nian's marriage to Emperor Yongzheng originated from the will of Emperor Kangxi, and the daughter of Nian Lingling was selected as Yongzheng's side Fujin when she was twelve or thirteen years old. Although it is the first time to get married, there is a deep love between Yongzheng and Nian.
Their married life is harmonious and happy, and they respect and support each other. During this time, Nian gave birth to four children for Yongzheng, none of which were born to other spouses, which fully proves Yongzheng's deep affection for Nian.
After giving birth to the eighth son, Yongzheng broke the routine and asked Nian to raise the child himself, which caused a sensation at the time, and the outside world speculated that the emperor would make the eighth prince the crown prince.
Nian was named the imperial concubine in the first year of Yongzheng, and her status in the harem was second only to the queen.
Although Nian is deeply loved by Yongzheng, she suffers. Although she gave birth to four children for Yongzheng, the survival rate of these children was extremely low. Especially the ninth son of the emperor, Fu Pei, Nian had fetal gas during the production process, which led to dystocia, and Fu Pei was born as a stillbirth.
The other three children also died in the process of growing up. The continuous childbirth depleted Nian's body, and the constant pain of losing her child put her under tremendous mental and physical pressure, and she soon fell ill.
Yongzheng three years, Nian is seriously ill, she is terminally ill by the emperor's love, Yongzheng Emperor will always find time to visit her in his busy schedule, it can be seen from the record of the emperor's November living note, the Yongzheng Emperor has always been diligent to deal with less and less government affairs, and even a whole day without any record of the emperor's government affairs.
The emperor even made an exception to make her the imperial concubine from the Han nationality, hoping to rejoice for her, but in the end, she still failed to save Nian's life. On November 23rd, Nian's family, who had not yet had time to receive the ceremony, was posthumously named the Imperial Concubine of Dunsu in the Old Summer Palace.
In order to pay tribute to the Nian, Emperor Yongzheng dropped out of the dynasty for five days and held a funeral for the Nian. According to the record of the Qing Dynasty document "Han Wen Edict", Emperor Yongzheng was very depressed during the funeral, and repeatedly scolded Prince Lian and the six departments for the same thing, and even demoted the four ** of the Ministry of Rites to two levels, which shows the emperor's deep friendship with Nian.
Emperor Yongzheng praised Nian many times in his books, saying that she had a gentle personality, dignified manners, was cautious with him, and was kind to others. At that time, the Nian family and their eighth prince Fuhui had not yet died, and Emperor Yongzheng favored Fuhui more than other princes.
However, three years after Nian's death, 8-year-old Fukue also died. Emperor Yongzheng deeply regretted and posthumously named Fuhui as a prince, and he was the first prince to be crowned a prince.
Compared with Fuhui, the 18-year-old Hongli, Hongday and others are not even Baylor, which fully shows Yongzheng's love for Fuhui. In addition, Nian's burial in Tailing is also a direct manifestation of Yongzheng's favor for her.
According to historical records, after Nian's death, Emperor Yongzheng authorized her to be buried in Tailing, which was a mausoleum built by himself, and allowed Nian's burial in Tailing, which was equivalent to indirectly agreeing to the joint burial of Nian's and himself.
According to the etiquette system of the Qing Dynasty, only the queen can enjoy the honor of being buried with the emperor, and although Nian is deeply favored, she is only the imperial concubine, and this glory has caused her to suffer a lot of controversy and pressure.
However, before Nian's death, Nian had already angered Yongzheng, and shortly after her death, Nian was convicted. Although he was his own brother, Yongzheng's anger did not affect Nian's family, nor did he change his idea of being buried together.
Nian was not born in the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, but of the Han nationality. Although he was named a Manchu nobleman, the blood barrier between the Han and Manchu at that time could not be easily broken. Therefore, it seems incomprehensible that a Han concubine was buried with a Manchu emperor.
However, Emperor Yongzheng did the opposite, and he regarded Nian as his wife, rather than an ordinary imperial concubine. He is willing to risk the world's disapproval for Nian's sake, which is also in line with his heart.
If it weren't for the status restrictions of Han women, Nian's favor would have been enough for her to be canonized as empress. Although Emperor Yongzheng's original empress Xiaojingxian, Empress Wulanara, was finally buried with him in the Tailing Underground Palace in accordance with the ancestral teachings and etiquette, Nian's status and favor are enough to show her importance in Emperor Yongzheng's heart.
It is worth our attention that the prototype of Zhen Huan, the protagonist of the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the Empress of Xiao Shengxian, Niu Hulu, was not buried in Tailing with Emperor Yongzheng.
Empress Xiao Shengxian was assigned to marry Yongzheng in the forty-third year of Kangxi, and was named Concubine Xi in the first year of Yongzheng. The reason why Concubine Xi was able to rise to the empress after the death of the Wulanala clan was more because her son, Hongli, the fourth son of the emperor, was deeply loved by Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yongzheng.
Compared with Nian's, Emperor Yongzheng's affection for Concubine Xi seems to be a little less. Otherwise, at the funeral of Emperor Yongzheng, there must be Concubine Xi among the two queens. In the second year of Qianlong, Nian's golden coffin was placed on the left side of Emperor Yongzheng and buried together in the Tailing underground palace.
Although in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Nian Shilan's ending is tragic, but in reality, Nian's experience is much better than in the TV series. Although she died early and her children died one after another, she was able to receive the emperor's favor for many years, and after her death, she could be buried with the emperor in Tailing, which is the supreme honor.
In contrast, although Zhen Huan achieved a turnaround in the play, she is just a character in the hearts of the audience, and the most unpopular "Concubine Hua" in history is the real winner in life and is favored by the emperor.
