The historical prototype of Shen Meizhuang in the Biography of Zhen Huan gave birth to Qianlong's worst brother
There is a woman who once had a very classic sentence, probably her kind of thinking, conveyed to people is still relatively innovative, and others are very different, this woman is Shen Meizhuang. Unlike those mediocre concubines, Mei Zhuang was a woman who seemed to live in ancient times but had modern ideas.
In fact, there is no appearance of this woman in the real history of the Qing Dynasty, so this character may have been fictionalized, but according to the content of the TV series, we find that her historical prototype is Yongzheng's Concubine Liu. The family drama about Meizhuang has been shown in great detail. Yongzheng was different from her when she first entered the palace. She also entrusted her with assistance to the Queen in managing the affairs of the Sixth House. This is because Meizhuang's family background is very prominent, and he has a fairly stable influence in the court. Compared with her, the historical background of Liu's concubines is quite good and will be very modest.
Historically, Liu's father was only a minor administrator. After Liu entered the palace, he first sealed the consent form. He was not promoted until the following year, and gradually became an ordinary and noble man. From this point of view, the Liu family has no value to Yongzheng. Why did Yongzheng choose her to enter the palace?
The reason may be that Liu Xiang is much more beautiful than the eyebrows in the TV series. Even a diligent emperor like Yongzheng was sad for his beauty. He was extremely excited about her. That is to say, Liu Shi became Yongzheng's concubine by virtue of his superior conditions.
However, there was no shortage of beautiful young women in the palace. Soon, Liu Yongzheng lost his freshness to her. Three years later, Liu Xiang was promoted to an outstanding figure. In addition, she succeeded in becoming a modest woman since the birth of the Emperor's six sons, Hong Zhan.
Yongzheng is 56 years old. He was very pleased with the arrival of the new baby. Thinking of Prince Liu's mother, he was very happy. He thought her status as the mother of princes was a bit low, so he promoted her.
Yongzheng lao gave birth to a son and took good care of him. This made Hongyan a proud and rebellious prince, the worst brother of Qianlong. After Qianlong ascended the throne, although he never cared about him, he was repeatedly entrusted with heavy responsibilities, but Hong Zhan always disappointed him.
Hong Zhan's crimes were not against the royal family, but against the people. He was not short of money, but to squeeze the people's money and condone bribes from his officials. In the notorious Hong Zhan, Qianlong withdrew his official title without a word. He believes that Hong Zhan stands up and fights for strength. Who knew that Hong Zhan died of a serious illness shortly after the cold, maybe because he was too glassy? Affected by the death of her son, the woman also died soon after.
