History: Qianlong's daughter married Kongfu, and the Manchu Han could also marry

Qianlong had a daughter, born to Empress Xiaoshengxian, and Qianlong loved her for ten minutes. This princess had a black mole on her face, and according to Xiangshu, the black mole was the main disaster, and the only way to break the disaster was to marry the princess to a family more noble than the prince's minister, which was only to marry kongfu. Because only Yan Sheng Gong could run parallel to the emperor on the imperial road of the imperial palace, after the emperor arrived in Qufu, he also had to perform the three kneeling and nine prostrations ceremony to Confucius, the ancestor of Yan Sheng Gong. This is an honor that other princes and nobles do not have. Therefore, when Qianlong first came to Confucius, he said that he would marry his daughter to Confucius. However, the Manchu Han could not intermarry, and in order to avoid this family rule, Qianlong fostered his daughter in the home of Yu Minzhong, the lord of the Middle Church, and then married Kong Xianpei, the son of the seventy-first generation Of Yan Sheng Gong Kong Zhaohuan and the seventy-second generation of Yan Sheng Gong in the name of Yu Jia Shuxiu. The descendants of Kong Fu called her Lady Yu.

One day, Kong Xianpei, the Duke of Yansheng, heard that Yan Xuechun, the son of Yan Xunqi of the Ministry of Works, had passed the jinshi examination again, and this was the fifth generation of the Yan family to win the entrance examination, and he was naturally very happy. Suddenly he remembered that his sister-in-law was not yet married, wouldn't it be nice if the Kong family and the Yan family were married? Kong Xianpei told Mrs. Yu his thoughts. Mrs. Yu said that a few days ago, Lord Kun also wanted to marry his daughter to Yan Xuechun, and he also wanted me to say that the media, otherwise, in a few days, when Yan Shangshu came to my house, I would tell him about my sister-in-law and the adult girl, and let Yan Shangshu choose whether it was good or not? Kong Xianpei said, "Just do as Madame said."

Yan Shangshu knew that Lady Yu was the biological daughter of the Qianlong Emperor, and Lord Kun was also a courtier, and neither side was easy to offend. However, Yan Shangshu was resourceful and let Lady Yu make two happy signs herself, and marry whoever she drew. Lady Yu did indeed win her sister-in-law (Kong Xianpei's sister). Since then, the Qianlong Emperor and Yan Xunqi have been Kong Zhaohuan's relatives. In this sense, in addition to the relationship between the Qianlong Emperor and Yan Xunqi, there was also a layer of cousin relationship. Yan Xunqi was born in the forty-ninth year of Kangxi, the Qianlong Emperor was born in the fifty years of Kangxi, yan Xunqi was one year older than the Qianlong Emperor, therefore, the Qianlong Emperor had to be called Yan Xunqi's cousin, Yan Xunqi's son Yan Xuechun was called the Qianlong Emperor's cousin, and Yan Xuechun was the sister-in-law of the daughter of the Qianlong Emperor.

　　You don't have to say that with this relationship, the Qianlong Emperor really cared for Yan Xunqi in his later years.

　　After Yan Xunqi fell ill in old age, the Qianlong Emperor was very concerned about him, inquired about his condition dozens of times, and repeatedly sent instructions to the Taiyi doctor to prepare "Wu Food Pills" for him to treat. He was also pardoned for his exemption from performing ceremonies and allowing him to ride horses in the Forbidden City.

　　After Yan Xunqi's death, the Qianlong Emperor was so shocked that he gave an altar, gave him a burial of 500 taels of silver, added his examples of Guanglu Dafu and Gongbu Shangshu to the first rank, and gave him the title of Prince Taibao (太保), and the grace of "Gongding".

　　The Qianlong Emperor also personally wrote the "Imperial Sacrifice Text" and the inscription for Yan Xunqi.

　　Yan Xunqi's tomb is in the north of Lijia Village, Masong Town, Changle County. The sacred monument, the Shinto monument, and the magnificent tomb pile of the past are gone today, but the tomb site still exists. Several sacred decrees issued by the Qianlong Emperor on praise, gifts, and the sealing of Yan Xunqi's ancestors and himself are still preserved among the descendants of the Yan clan.

　　Yan Xuechun was the third son of Yan Xunqi, and successively served as the prefect of Nanping Prefecture in Fujian, the prefect of Xuzhou Prefecture in Henan, the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture in Anhui, and the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture in Taiping Prefecture. He served as prefect for nearly forty years and loved the people like a son. Not only was he loved by the people, but he was also rewarded by the emperor. The Qianlong Emperor and the Jiaqing Emperor issued several edicts in the fiftieth year of Qianlong and the first year of Jiaqing respectively to commend Yan Xuechun, and he was awarded the title of "Senior Political Doctor" and the "Imperial Counselor".

After Yan Xuechun's death, he was buried with "Kong Gu" in the ancestral tomb of the Eastern Yan clan in Changle City. In the early 1970s, local farmers discovered the "Konggu" tomb while watering their crops. After the coffin was opened, it was found that "Kong Gu" was dressed in gorgeous costumes, wearing gold and jewelry crowns, and the bones had not yet decayed. However, due to the lack of awareness of cultural relics protection at that time, there was no good protection, the corpses were artificially damaged, and some cultural relics were scattered sporadically among the people.
