AfterThe concubine was buried in the emperor's mausoleum, and Yongzheng sent her to the funeral.
In the ancient imperial palace, the emperor's harem was often accompanied by many beautiful women, and the person who could be favored by the emperor was very luxurious. However, there are very few women who can be buried with the emperor, and only those empresses who can honor the world have a chance.
But among the five women who were buried with Emperor Kangxi, in addition to the four empresses, there was also a woman. So, who is she? How did she get this honor?
Today we will unravel this mystery together.
She was the first empress of the Kangxi Emperor to be called the emperor, Hesheri, who was the empress during her lifetime and entered the imperial mausoleum after her death. Hesheri was the granddaughter of Sony, an auxiliary minister of the Qing Dynasty, and her father and grandfather were important figures in the imperial court and made many contributions to the development of the Qing Dynasty.
Queen Hesheri is smart, knowledgeable, and a typical lady. In the fourth year of Kangxi, she was canonized as the queen, and the following year, she gave birth to her eldest son, Chenghu.
Empress Hesheri's virtues and talents allowed her to set an example in the Six Houses.
The noble status of the Hesheri clan and the eldest son made her life smooth for a while. However, when she was 21 years old, she died shortly after giving birth to her second son, Yinren.
She was posthumously named Empress Renxiao and buried with Emperor Kangxi in Jingling. The death of Empress Renxiao made the courtiers realize that a country cannot do without an empress, so after the Hesheri clan, the Kangxi Emperor ordained a new empress - Empress Xiaozhaoren Niu Colu clan.
She is the granddaughter of the five founding ministers of the early Qing Dynasty, and the daughter of the first class of the four auxiliary ministers, with a prominent family background and a respected status. In the sixteenth year of Kangxi, she became the second wife of Emperor Kangxi and was favored by the emperor.
However, this honor did not last, and only a few months later, she died of illness in Kunning Palace in the seventeenth year of Kangxi, and was nicknamed Empress Xiaozhao. In the twentieth year of Kangxi, she was buried in the Jingling Underground Palace, becoming the second woman to be buried with the emperor.
After the death of the two empresses, Emperor Kangxi was deeply depressed, he focused on dealing with the affairs of the imperial court, and for a long time did not involve in harem disputes, and he repeatedly rejected the courtiers' requests to be crowned queens.
Since then, Emperor Kangxi only favored Tong Jiashi, who was canonized as a concubine in the sixteenth year of Kangxi, until the twentieth year of Kangxi, in order to give a satisfactory answer to the world and courtiers, Tong Jiashi was promoted to the imperial concubine, and managed all the affairs of the harem, but never set up a queen.
Until the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, Tong Jia's condition worsened, and Emperor Kangxi often visited her bedroom and cared for her.
In order to fulfill Tong Jia's last wish, Emperor Kangxi named her empress on the ninth day of the seventh month, called Empress Xiaoyiren. However, Tong Jiashi died the next day after the canonization, and he enjoyed the queen's throne for less than a day.
Emperor Kangxi was deeply saddened and personally wrote an elegy to express his condolences to her, and then posthumously named her Empress Xiaoyi and renamed her Empress Xiaoyiren. As a result, Tong Jiashi was able to be buried in Jingling with Emperor Kangxi as the empress.
After that, Emperor Kangxi was completely disheartened about the canonization of the queen, thinking that his life was hard and he rejected his wife, and until his death, he never canonized any queen again.
Although the status is not noble, he can be posthumously crowned by the queen after his death and incorporated into the imperial tomb, this is the Wu Ya clan, the fourth queen of Emperor Kangxi. Although she came from a humble background, was only the daughter of a clothed protector and a leader, and had no family backers and knighthoods, her son Yinzhen became the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so she was posthumously named Empress Xiaogongren and was buried with the emperor.
Her story teaches us that no matter where you come from, with talent and hard work, it's possible to achieve success and respect.
Therefore, every promotion of Wu Ya's rank is the result of her hard work, which is fulfilled"Mothers are more expensive than children"said. After giving birth to two princes, Wu Yashi was named Concubine De in the twentieth year of Kangxi.
Subsequently, she gave birth to three more princesses and a prince. Although these children did not allow her to obtain a higher title, as a mother of many sons and daughters, Concubine Wuya's status in the palace was very stable, and her life was smooth sailing.
After becoming Concubine De, Wu Ya did not continue to pursue a higher status, she understood that her family background could not allow her to reach the height of her mother's world, so she adjusted her goals.
Because of a mother's deep love for her children, she devotes most of her time and energy to them. These children did not disappoint her either, especially her eldest son, Yinzhen.
After a cruel and long process of fighting for the throne, in the sixty-first year of Kangxi, Yinzhen ascended the throne and became the Yongzheng Emperor in history. After Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he immediately honored his biological mother Concubine Wu Yashi as the Queen Mother, and drew up a emblem for her - Empress Dowager Renshou.
After his accession to the throne, Uya was honored as the Queen Mother. Although Wu Yashi did not become the queen before Kangxi's death, due to her son's ability, she finally got what she wanted, became the queen mother, and took control of the harem.
Maybe it was fate, maybe the wish was fulfilled, in the first year of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, Wu Yashi died in Yonghe Palace at the age of sixty-four. Although Wu Yashi was posthumously crowned queen, she still occupied the title of queen, so she became the fourth woman buried with Emperor Kangxi and enjoyed the right to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
And the emperor's reward, let the mother of the courtier enter the imperial mausoleum, are some famous and surnamed figures, the queen is alive canonization is a matter of course, the queen after the death of the queen is also reasonable, but the fifth woman buried with Emperor Kangxi does not have the identity of the queen, who is she?
When Emperor Kangxi had as many as twenty-three sons, Yinzhen began the journey of nine sons to win the throne in order to compete for the throne. This journey is full of hardships and hardships, and it is recorded in the history books.
Among the nine princes, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang chose to support Yinzhen. Prior to this, Yinxiang was deeply loved by Emperor Kangxi, especially his excellent calligraphy and loyal heart, which made Emperor Kangxi appreciate him doubly.
However, in order to help Yinzhen obtain the throne, he was implicated in the abolition of the crown prince in the 47th year of Kangxi and was imprisoned for a long time.
Emperor Kangxi doted on this son and released him only a year later. After the ban was lifted, Yinxiang was still loyal to Yinzhen, and with his help, Yinzhen finally ascended to the throne.
After Yinzhen ascended the throne, Yinxiang still served him loyally, for this great hero, Emperor Yongzheng was very satisfied and trusted, and frequently gave him various rewards, gold, silver, treasures, land, etc.
However, Emperor Yongzheng thought that these were material things, and wanted to give Yinxiang a more special gift, and after careful consideration, he decided to posthumously recognize Yinxiang's biological mother Zhang Jiashi as the imperial concubine, and nicknamed Jingmin, so that she could accompany Jingling.
The biological mother Zhang Jia became the fifth woman to be buried with the emperor by virtue of her joint burial with Emperor Kangxi. This move made Yinxiang deeply favored, and since then he has been working more dedicatedly for Emperor Yongzheng.
At the same time, Emperor Yongzheng created a precedent that both the queen and the imperial concubine could be buried in the imperial mausoleum, which was widely praised by later generations. Each of these five women has a different fate, some are favored by their husbands, and some are noble by virtue of their children.
However, in any case, in the end, it is just a passerby in the long river of history, which makes people sigh. So, what is your unique view on this phenomenon? Reference: Manuscript of Qing History
