Shunzhi Na Dong Efei sent Ao to worship his brothers, what is the secret
Emperor Shunzhi was controversial in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and many of his actions were widely discussed. The change in his attitude towards Dorgon, the story of his relationship with Concubine Dong E, and the legend of the monk Wutai Mountain are all hot topics of discussion.
Especially on the issue of his relationship with Concubine Dong E, it is full of mystery and legend.
In some wild histories that have been passed down to the world**, Emperor Shunzhi once had a deep love for a woman, and she was Dong Xiaowan, one of the eight Yans of Qin Huai. What's more, legend has it that there is a Concubine Dong E in Shunzhi's harem, who is actually his brother-in-law.
However, among the many versions of the story, which one is closer to the truth of history? The second episode of the large-scale documentary "Qing Palace Secret Files" "An Emperor Who Wants to Be a Monk" has an in-depth ** and answer to this.
Regarding the identity of Concubine Dong E, the record of the "Qing History Manuscript" is relatively brief, only knowing that she is the daughter of the minister E Shuo, and there is no detailed description of her entry into the palace and her life deeds.
According to the notebook literature, some people speculate that the true identity of Concubine Dong E is Dong Xiaowan, who was once ranked in Qin Huai's Bayan. It is said that although Dong Xiaowan is fifteen years older than Shunzhi, her beauty is still the same as it was back then, so Shunzhi fell in love with her deeply.
However, because of Dong Xiaowan's low status, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had a cold attitude towards her, and even asked Concubine Dong E to take care of herself soon after she gave birth, which eventually led to Concubine Dong E's health deteriorating and she died of illness a few years later.
This statement seems plausible, but the problem is that Dong Xiaowan's experiences before and after the fall of the Ming Dynasty are clearly documented. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Xiang, one of the four sons of the late Ming Dynasty, heard that Dong Xiaowan was peerless, and met her through a friend's recommendation.
Mao Xiang was able to accompany Dong Xiaowan often, not afraid of hardships, and with the assistance of the famous prostitute Liu Ruyi and his friend Qian Qianyi, he successfully ransomed Dong Xiaowan, and the two eventually became dependents, lived together in the ancestral house of Mao Xiang Rugao, and lived a peaceful life.
The former residence of Rugao Maoxiang has been well preserved so far, and the scenery is exquisite, just like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, which shows the superiority of Maoxiang's family background, even if the wars are frequent, his life has not been greatly affected.
Here, Dong Xiaowan has been accompanying Mao Xiang and spending her life together.
In the book "Memories of Yingmei'an", Mao Xiang recounts the love story between him and Dong Xiaowan, and reveals the tragic end of this legendary woman. Soon after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, due to mood swings, Mao Xiang suffered from several serious illnesses.
During this time, Dong Xiaowan has been by his side, taking care of him carefully, so that he gradually recovers his health. However, due to overwork, Dong Xiaowan became seriously ill.
Although she searched for famous doctors, she could not save her life in the end. This beauty died when she was only 28 years old.
Dong Xiaowan has never been to the capital, so naturally she has never had an emotional story with Shunzhi. However, due to the underdevelopment of the printing industry in ancient times, the circulation of Mao Xiang's works was limited, resulting in little understanding of Dong Xiaowan's life, so there were rumors that Dong Efei was Dong Xiaowan.
Although history records that Concubine Dong E is not Dong Xiaowan, it is speculated that her true identity may be the daughter of Minister E Shuo. However, the Qing Dynasty was very strict in the management of concubines, and each concubine needed to pass the selection of show girls before they could be promoted to concubines.
However, what is confusing is that the record of Concubine Dong E's participation in the selection of show girls does not appear in the historical materials, which makes people question the way Concubine Dong E entered the palace.
In "The Secret Files of the Qing Palace", experts reveal a startling fact through the tiny details of the archives. Although the Qing court kept the life history of Concubine Dong E a secret at that time, the German missionary John Tang revealed a story in his notes: Emperor Shunzhi developed a deep love for the wife of a Manchu soldier.
When the soldier was reprimanded for his beloved wife, the Son of Heaven slapped him in the face with his own hand. Soon after, the soldier died, and his wife was taken into the palace as a concubine and gave birth to a son who could be made crown prince.
Considering that Shunzhi once called the son of Concubine Dong E "my first son", then there is no doubt that this concubine is Concubine Dong E. Based on this, we can infer that Concubine Dong E was married before entering the palace, which is also an explanation for her experience of not becoming a show girl.
So, who is Concubine Dong E's husband?
The Qing Dynasty show girl ** documentary "Qing Palace Secret File" revealed a secret: when Emperor Shunzhi married Concubine Dong E, he specially asked the minister Ao Bai to pay tribute to the deceased Prince Xiang Bomu Bogol for himself.
Although Prince Xiang Bomu Bogol is the eleventh son of Huang Taiji, there are very few records of his life and history, and he has not made much achievements. So, why did Emperor Shunzhi pay tribute to his brother when he got married?
The answer may have something to do with Concubine Dong E, because she was originally Bomu Bogol's wife. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Fujin of the princes and Baylors needed to enter the harem to "wait" for the harem concubines, so Prince Xiang's Fujin also entered the palace, which provided an opportunity for Shunzhi to meet her.
After Concubine Dong E entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang immediately ordered the system to be stopped, which also seems to prove that Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E relied on this system to meet and fall in love.
What's even more strange is that Prince Xiang Bomu Bogol died just a few months before Concubine Dong E entered the palace, although smallpox and other diseases were epidemic at that time, resulting in a high proportion of young people in the royal family dying young, but the time of Prince Xiang's death was too bizarre.
In addition, the worship of Ao has aroused people's infinite reverie.
After the death of Concubine Dong's son, Shunzhi discussed with the ministers whether to inform the Empress Dowager of the bad news. He mentioned that when Prince Xiang died, he was afraid that Xiaozhuang would be overly sad, so he did not tell her immediately.
Shunzhi cited the example of Prince Xiang, probably to show that he had nothing to do with Prince Xiang's death.
Concubine Dong E, a woman who was once deeply favored by Emperor Shunzhi, has always been talked about by people about the mystery of her death. In various wild historical records, there are different opinions about the cause of Concubine Dong E's death, but the key figures in it all point to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
When Concubine Dong E entered the palace, Xiaozhuang's niece and granddaughter were the queen of the main palace of Shunzhi, so Xiaozhuang was not satisfied with Shunzhi's behavior of favoring Concubine Dong E. According to the "Secret Files of the Qing Palace", Concubine Dong E was asked by Xiaozhuang to serve her shortly after giving birth, which made Concubine Dong E's body gradually weaken, and finally died a few years later.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had a direct or indirect influence on the death of Concubine Dong E.
According to the author's speculation, it is possible that Concubine Dong E fell ill because she had taken care of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang for a long time and was overworked. However, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang may not really want to kill Concubine Dong E.
During the illness of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, all the concubines went to take care of her, except for Empress Xiaohui. Empress Xiaohui was afraid that she would be replaced by Concubine Dong E, so she did not go to the sickbed of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
This behavior angered the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and she did not let Empress Xiaohui ask her for peace in the next few years. If the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had asked all the concubines to take care of her, then Empress Xiaohui's behavior would have constituted a great sin.
Emperor Shunzhi was bent on changing the empress, and it was impossible for him not to take this opportunity to make some articles. Therefore, we can infer that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not issue a similar order.
Many concubines, including Concubine Dong E, took care of her out of filial piety.
Concubine Dong E was not born as a show girl, but she was favored by Emperor Shunzhi, which made her status in the harem complicated and subtle. In order to stabilize her position, Concubine Dong E actively showed her virtues, especially in the matter of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, she not only contributed, but also voluntarily.
However, some people believe that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang faked her illness because she wanted to torture Concubine Dong E. However, the author believes that this argument is unfounded. First of all, after Xiaozhuang fell ill, from Emperor Shunzhi to all the ministers, they were very concerned.
Aobai, plastic shell Saha and other important ministers even kept vigil outside the residence of Xiaozhuang, and after Xiaozhuang**, Emperor Shunzhi also gave them a generous reward, which is obviously not a **.
Moreover, if Xiaozhuang really faked her illness, she should at least tell her niece and granddaughter Empress Xiaohui to come to visit to avoid mistakes. Therefore, Xiaozhuang had no intention of killing Concubine Dong E.
Concubine Dong E is an ill-fated woman, her life experience and experience are not too legendary, what really makes people miss her is the deep affection between her and Emperor Shunzhi.
Concubine Dong E, because of her special status and Shunzhi's favor, has endured huge external pressure. In order to stabilize her position, and in order to change the degree of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, when the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was sick, although she was weak just after giving birth, she still tried her best to take care of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and finally fell ill.
After the unfortunate death of her beloved son, Concubine Dong E was deeply shocked, and finally fell ill and passed away. Among ancient and modern emperors, there are not many infatuated emperors like Emperor Shunzhi, which also makes Concubine Dong E an object of curiosity.
The records about Concubine Dong E in the documentaries "Qing Palace Secret Files", "Qing History Manuscripts", and "Qing Shizong Records" let us have a deeper understanding of the story of this legendary woman.
