The prosperous era of Kangqian in the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be regarded as a relatively prosperous era, and Qianlong Ye himself called himself the "Ten Perfect Old Man". Qianlong's imperial throne did not come as hard as his father Yongzheng, and as early as his youth, he had been established as the future heir. Despite this, there are still many stories that happened to Qianlong, and many of today's Qing Palace dramas and palace fighting dramas are modeled after the Qianlong period.
The Qianlong Emperor ascended the throne after Yongzheng's death from illness at the age of 25, a moment of great heroism, and he spent more than 60 years on the emperor's throne in his lifetime, second only to his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor.
During his reign, Qianlong successively rebelled against Jinchuan, Dzungar Dawaqi, Dzungar Amur Sana, southern Xinjiang, and Zhuo, as well as many border wars, consolidating the position of the Central Plains Dynasty, promoting great national integration, and at the same time vigorously developing the economy, especially in the border and poor areas of the old and young. In the heyday of his reign, Kangqian's prosperity reached its peak.
However, after entering his old age, he coveted enjoyment, appointed corrupt officials such as He Yan, and went down to Jiangnan six times before and after, resulting in the prosperity and decline of the Qing Dynasty, and by the time of his death, the country was already in ruins and looked crumbling. After his death, Qianlong was buried in Yuling in the Qing Dynasty.
Because after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, thieves and warlords repeatedly excavated the imperial tombs of the Qing royal family, so the damage was extremely great. A few years ago, in order to protect the Qing Tombs, the government organized a large number of experts to go here to carry out protective excavations, and found the tomb of an empress in Qianlong, thus revealing a "scandal" in the Qing Dynasty royal family, and this "scandal" was covered up by Qianlong Ye.
Although Yuling is the tomb of the Qianlong Emperor, there are also some of his concubines buried near this mausoleum, such as the Pure Hui Emperor Noble Concubine, who was buried not far away, in addition to the Pure Hui Emperor Noble Concubine, there was also a woman buried, she was the Empress Uranara clan.
Emperor Chunhui's noble concubine Su Jiashi was Qianlong's first noble concubine, who married Qianlong as early as when Kangxi was emperor and Qianlong was crown prince, and was also one of Qianlong's most beloved women. However, The Pure Hui Emperor's noble concubine Su Jia did not have a long life expectancy and died young, and her death brought a lot of sadness to QianlongYe.
After the death of Emperor Chunhui's concubine, the Uranara clan became the second empress of Qianlong.
There are many stories of this empress, and it is recorded in the "Qing History Manuscript Concubine": "Uranara clan, Zoling Narbu woman." Later, Emperor Gaozong's submerged residence was the side chamber Fujin. In the second year of Qianlong, she was a concubine. Ten years, into the noble concubine. Empress Xiaoxian collapsed, entered the imperial concubine, and regent of the sixth palace. For fifteen years, she was made empress. Thirty years, from the southern tour to Hangzhou, the will of the shang, the hair cut, the benefit of the favor, the order of the first to return to the Beijing division. Soon after, the Uranara clan died of depression, and after her death, the Uranara clan buried her according to the etiquette of the imperial concubine.
Qianlong did not want to make another empress because he had died two consecutive empresses, and he wrote in his handwriting to his ministers: "The Imperial Examination of the Nala Clan was given the Side Room Fujin by the Imperial Examination during the Qing Palace, and after the collapse of Empress Xiaoxian, she entered the Imperial Concubine in a sequential manner. After three years, it was established as the queen. After that, he was overwhelmed, and he was as good as ever. The national custom of cutting hair is forbidden, but it is blatantly disregarded, and it is still forbidden to abolish it. Later, with the disease, he ordered the reduction of his ritual text, and did not cut his name. In this case, the benevolence is exhausted, and the empress is not restored. ”
It can be seen from here that the Qianlong Emperor still had a lot of opinions about the Uranara clan, and he felt that after the death of the empress dowager, he made the Uranara clan an empress in a step-by-step manner, which was already very worthy of her. However, the Uranara clan was not self-respecting, unruly, and cut her hair indiscriminately, and even so, the Qianlong Emperor did not carry out any punishment, and after her death, he buried the Uranara clan according to the empress's etiquette.
But qianlong has ever thought that when his ancestors forcibly pushed the "shaving order", they did not know how many people they killed, but now they have snubbed and abolished it because their own empress cut her own hair. It is no wonder that this matter will be regarded by later generations as a major scandal in the Manchu Qing royal family.
The emperor and the empress are the most special couple in the world, involving too many stakeholders, no matter how to deal with it will be implemented, Qianlong in the handling of the Uranara clan, do you agree? Is there a better way to deal with it? Let's talk about it!
