Many people don't understand why Xiaozhuang has not been buried 37 years after his death, and the later mausoleum is still outside the walls of the Qing Eastern Tomb? So some people speculated that Xiaozhuang did marry Dolgon, regardless of whether he was guilty or unworthy, he was not qualified to enter the Qing Dongling Tomb anyway.
Hyozhuang has not been buried 37 years after her death, because of her last words. Xiaozhuang told Kangxi before he died that he wanted to be buried with his son Shunzhi, which stumped Emperor Kangxi. According to the rules, Xiaozhuang is to be buried with Huang Taiji after his death, but the problem is that Huang Taiji's Zhaoling is in Shengjing, which is now Shenyang, and the door of the underground palace has been closed, and the sealed soil has been backfilled. And Xiaozhuang also made it clear that he didn't want to do this.
If you follow Xiaozhuang's last wish, it is not possible to bury it with Shunzhi and enter the Qing Dongling, because it is not in line with tradition. In our traditional etiquette, the elders must be respected, so the mother's mausoleum must be in the best position, and the son must be by the side. But in the Qingdong Mausoleum in Zunhua, Hebei, Shunzhi was the first to enter, so Shunzhi occupied the best position under the main peak of Malan Yuchang Rui Mountain, so Kangxi buried Xiaozhuang anywhere, and it was not as good as the location of Shunzhi Xiaoling. If it is buried in Dongling, the pattern will become that the son's mausoleum is in the rightful place, and the mother is by the side, which is not in accordance with the etiquette law. So Kangxi was embarrassed, on the one hand, his grandmother's last wish, on the other hand, the ancestral etiquette, he didn't know what to do, so he could only put the coffin of Xiaozhuang in the temporary shrine of Zunhua Dongling first.
Xiaozhuang died in the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi and remained until the sixty-first year of Kangxi. In the past 35 years, Kangxi has either personally or sent the prince to this temporary shrine to worship Xiaozhuang, a total of 52 times, an average of once every 7 months, which shows how deep the relationship between Kangxi and Xiaozhuang is. Kangxi himself said that my parents died early, and it was my grandmother who pulled me up, and without her, there would be no me. So as soon as it was mentioned to bury Xiaozhuang, those Manchu princes began to shout that they must carry Xiaozhuang's coffin back to Shengjing and be buried with Huang Taiji, Kangxi must not be happy, but if it is not according to Xiaozhuang's wishes. So Kangxi was indecisive in this matter, and he didn't solve it until he died.
But as the saying goes, changing hands is like changing knives, and some things can be solved immediately if you change someone. This matter was finally solved by Yongzheng, because when Xiaozhuang died, Yinzhen was only nine years old, and his feelings for Xiaozhuang were not deep, so Kangxi didn't dare to do many things, he dared to do it, because he had no psychological burden. The attitude of the fourth elder brother is, no one should talk nonsense with me, I have the final say in this matter. First of all, Shengjing will definitely not return, but Xiaozhuang into the Qing Dongling is not in line with the etiquette law, Yongzheng proposed a compromise method, that is, outside the wall of the Qing Dongling, the left side of the main gate is a single mausoleum.
In this way, it is next to the filial piety tomb of Shunzhi, separated by a wall, and relatively independent in that place, the location of filial piety is the best, and it is on the left side of the gate of the Qing Dongling, and the left is respected. When the emperor of later generations came to worship, he must first worship Xiaozhuang, and then he could enter the door to worship Shunzhi, this order is on the right again, and Yongzheng gave the name of Zhaoxi Mausoleum, which echoes the Zhaoling of Huang Taiji, and it can be regarded as a literal burial.
