Almost every emperor in Chinese history had three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor usually chose a noble-born beautieth among them to enjoy the motherly rites of the master in the harem.
But during the Qianlong period, there was a queen from humble origin, who later became the second favorite empress of the Qing Dynasty emperor and the most tragic queen in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty, she was the Nala clan.
What is her tragic past? Today, we will learn about her life.
Queen Narahi's**.
Nala was Qianlong's favorite concubine.
Nala clan, alias Concubine Xian, Empress Nala clan, Manchu, also known as Empress Nala clan, that is, the living queen, was born on March 11, 1718, during the Qing Dynasty, the lord of the blue flag was Nie Lizuo, the original lord was the proud daughter of the sky, and the family status was average.
However, Yoshitomo Nara's father attached great importance to the education of his children since he was a child, which made Yoshitomo Nara fall into a pavilion that can be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also laid the foundation for his later road to the palace.
In the twelfth year of Yongzheng, the spring expedition was held in the palace, at that time, among many people, the 16-year-old Nala clan stood out, so Yongzheng ordered his prince Bao Ai Xinjue Luo to marry Hongli, and ordered Qin Tianjian to be elected in eight years on the basis of the two"Zaixiang"。
They were married on December 2, 1734, and the emperor and his wife were greeted by the emperor and Yongzheng, and from then on he became a retinue of the Fujin.
Queen Narahi's**.
Nine months later, in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, when the Nala clan married Rongbao Wang Hu, the Yongzheng Emperor died, and according to the previous purpose of ascending the throne, the fourth son of the Aixin Jueluo-Hongli Emperor ascended the throne as the Qianlong Emperor.
Due to Qianlong's favor, the Nala clan was promoted to a noble concubine, which was tentatively called at that time"Concubine"。You must know that Nara was the youngest of all known concubines in Qianlong's time.
According to records, after Qianlong ascended the throne, he rewarded Nala's father many times, and was even rewarded to enter the official residence of the Shu State Library, which shows that Nalashi was highly favored at that time.
In the second year of Qianlong,"Nala's"Canonized as"Concubine Xian", meaning:"Calm and quiet"and for a long time after that"Nala's"They are all nobles of the queen and concubines. In the tenth year of Qianlong, the Nala clan was named Xian Guifei, and Emperor Qianlong instructed the scholar Shi Yizhi to leave him as the chief messenger to preside over her canonization ceremony.
Qianlong. After Nala became queen, she gave birth to three children within three years.
At that time, the Nala clan or Xian Guifei, the queen of the Qianlong harem, the Sha family Fucha clan, also known as the Fucha queen, was a famous family in Manchuria with yellow flags, the daughter of the Qing Dynasty's first-class Cheng'en Gong, Chahar Governor Li Rongbao and the first-class duchess Jue Luo, and the sister of Gong Fuhang, a famous Taibao university scholar in the Qing Dynasty.
Although fuchsia is of noble birth, it is frugal by nature and usually does not like gold and silver jewelry, preferring to decorate it with grass pompoms.
Emperor Qianlong praised the Fucha clan:"After everyone sees the old sage, there is really nothing to make up. "At the same time, he openly declared that the achievements of the Fucha clan during his reign as empress were part of the husband and wife's shared weal and woe.
It's a pity that Empress Fucha didn't live long, in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, she traveled with Emperor Qianlong and unfortunately died of illness on a ship in Texas.
Fuchsia Queen.
For this reason, Emperor Qianlong deeply mourned and personally gave the title to Empress Fucha"Hyo-hyun"Later, Jiaqing and Daoguang dynasties added the nickname, and finally the full name of Fucha after his death"Filial piety, inheritance, Hui Dun, Mu Renhui, respect, Kang Xun, Fu Tianchang, Shengchun Empress", later generations also served as the abbreviation of Empress Hyo Hyun Chun.
After the death of Empress Hyohyun, the harem was empty, and in April of the same year, Nala first added prostitutes to the palace, and then rewarded her nephew, a third-class guard, to take over the use of the palace, laying the foundation for her ascension to the throne of the queen.
However, because the filial piety period of the pure queen of Xiaozhuang has not expired, she can only be promoted to the imperial concubine, which ensures that the Nala clan can lead the first generation of imperial concubines of the Qing Dynasty The lord of the six palaces, and its status is reflected in the "Qianlong Project".
At that time, the identity of the lord of the six houses of the Nara clan, as stated in the note, was"Congratulatory letter, the continuation of this half-queen"。After that, the Military Aircraft Department proposed that the Nala clan be registered as the imperial concubine, and Qianlong changed it to the empress himself.
Queen Narahi's**.
At that time, the cronies of the Nala clan were full of prestige, and Emperor Qianlong first ordered all his wives and concubines, princesses, etc. to greet his harem, and then raised the whole family of the Nala clan from Manchuria with blue flags to Manchuria with yellow flags, and also increased the number of honor guards for him, which was the first preferential treatment in the Qing Dynasty.
It can be seen that the Empress of the Six Palaces is not far from the actual status of completely controlling the Nala clan. In June of the fifteenth year of Qianlong, the mourning period of Empress Xiaoci Fucha ended, and the following month, Emperor Qianlong officially announced that she was canonized as the second empress of the Nala clan by holy decree.
In August, Emperor Qianlong appointed Fu Heng as the first auxiliary envoy and Shi Yizhi, a scholar of the university, as the deputy envoy, officially held the enthronement ceremony of Nar, promulgated the decree of the government, and ended the regulations on the year name in the autumn decree, and rejoiced with the people.
After Nala was canonized as empress, her romance with Emperor Qianlong had apparently just begun.
Qianlong frame. In terms of love, Emperor Qianlong broke the conventions of the previous dynasty, and Nala's father and mother were successively named the first-class prince and the first-class prince's wife, and the Nalashi was also named the first-class prince's wife, and after his death, he was named a duke, so that he could be re-sealed. From then on, as long as the emperor traveled, there would be two lovers by his side.
In the seventeenth year of Qianlong, in the Yikun Palace, Nala was pleased to give birth to Qianlong's twelfth son, Emperor Qianlong, and Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed"Add joy"。The following year, Empress Nala gave birth to Qianlong's fifth daughter.
Unfortunately, in the twentieth year of Qianlong, the emperor's fifth daughter died young, and in the same year, Nala gave birth to a thirteenth son, Yongjing. Unfortunately, two years later, the thirteenth son also died.
Pictured here is Nara ascending to the throne three years after the birth of her three children. From then on, the husband and wife life of Empress Nala and Emperor Qianlong began.
Queen Narahi's**.
Centrifuge of Narata and Emperor Qianlong.
In the 22nd year of Qianlong, Concubine Rong and others were falsely accused of stealing Emperor Qianlong's Dongzhu by the Nala clan, an incident that planted the seeds of malice in the following centuries.
30 years later, Empress Nala's birthday is approaching Qianlong, but Emperor Qianlong, his concubines and Nala's are all playing in the south of the Yangtze River, but they didn't expect it to be a southern tour, so the fate of Empress Nala's has changed a lot.
When Emperor Qianlong and Empress Nala traveled to Jiangnan, which they still loved, the emperor often ate a variety of Jiangnan dishes and rewarded the empress with rare treasures"Juqing"The scene is still there.
After arriving in Hangzhou, the queen's behavior became incomprehensible and became more and more"Like crazy"。
Empress Nala and Qianlong.
According to records, on the night of their arrival in Hangzhou, only Concubine Ling, Concubine Rong, Wei Jia, and several nobles, not just the empress, attended the dinner, accompanied by Emperor Qianlong.
After the meal, Emperor Qianlong learned that the empress had broken her hair, and the husband and wife were separated.
You must know that in ancient times, a woman's hair was a taboo in the country, and Nala, as the queen, should be proud of her mother's honor in the world, but her actions were undoubtedly disrespectful to Emperor Qianlong. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong was furious and immediately sent Empress Nala back to the palace by water according to the route he had set.
In addition, Emperor Qianlong will also be in the Age Palace"The Queen Mother went crazy"The news was piled up to the chief eunuch Pan Feng and others, asking the queen mother to return to the palace, and she was not allowed to go out to see people on the grounds that Nala was recuperating in the sleeping palace of Yikun Palace.
Qianlong frame. Soon, the empress returned to Beijing, and Emperor Qianlong's attitude gradually softened, and ordered Enhu Fulongan to travel according to the empress's duties, not in a hurry, and to check the various conditions of the waterway and river at any time in case of accidents.
After the Nara clan returned to the palace, the Qianlong Emperor suspected that the behavior of the Nala clan was controlled by monsters, so he first ordered the palace guards to be dismissed, and then ordered the interruption of the queen's treatment, and then searched the queen's residence and sealed the queen's belongings.
In April, Emperor Qianlong returned to Beijing and settled in the Old Summer Palace. Just when the emperor's attitude had just calmed down, a strange thing happened:"The eunuch Zhang Feng stole the queen's golden book"。
In this regard, the Qianlong Emperor was extremely disappointed, and ordered the execution of eunuchs, the beheading of slaves and maids, the preservation of the empress's countless treasures, and the overthrow of the Empress of the Nala clan.
Queen Narahi's**.
Although she still has the position of queen, there are only two concubines in the palace, that is, the queen has completely fallen out of favor and is just an empty title. On July 14, the 31st year of Qianlong, Empress Nala died at the age of 49.
The next day, Emperor Qianlong ordered the former minister to stay in the capital and arrange the burial according to the etiquette of the princess'All funerals are handled by the Minister of the Interior, and only according to the routine of the imperial concubine. This matter will be announced in China and abroad"。
In fact, the funeral rites of this empress were even lower than those of the emperor's concubines.
After the death of Empress Nala, Emperor Qianlong refused to hold a funeral for the empress, which caused a lot of controversy among the people, and the folk spread that the queen's hair was the concubine of Emperor Qianlong, and many people fought for Nala's hair, which angered Emperor Qianlong.
Queen Narahi's**.
However, in order to calm the **, Emperor Qianlong gradually relented, and only publicly admitted that the Queen Mother had broken her hair, but did not explain the reason for the broken hair, and pointed out:"The mourning of the Queen Mother is all because of it'Sudden change in temperament'，'Self-inflicted and unreasonable'", the Queen Mother's funeral is completely the Queen Mother"Sudden change in temperament"、"Self-inflicted"and regarded the Queen Mother as a pious and virtuous empress and accepted it to explain Empress Hyoxian's life-saving death.
In this regard, there are also the following records in the historical sources:"You and Fronon interrogated three women, eighteen in all, and asked them how they cut their hair, why they ignored them, and you called them, and they went out to find self-sacrifice, and they pretended not to know.
No one seemed to be present when Empress Nala cut her hair, and the reason for cutting her hair was not the emperor's"Color decay loves relaxation"。
Finally, after some deliberation, Emperor Qianlong ordered the coffin of Empress Nala to be thrown out of the imperial tomb, which was another great humiliation.
In this way, Nala Qianlong was the most favored queen of Concubine Xian from the beginning, and in more than three years, she gave birth to three children and Qianlong Qinse and Ming, and finally the emperor and the empress suffered a tragic ending of centrifugation.
