The marriage system of the Qing Dynasty was very strange, advocating the marriage of close relatives, especially the children of the royal family. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, from the Jin State proposed by Nurhaci to the Qing Dynasty regime established by Emperor Taiji. Such a marriage system was vigorously promoted in the imperial palace, so that in the future generations, the imperial heirs and fertility of the Qing Dynasty became worse and worse. And how many of the emperor's heirs can survive after the marriage of close relatives? The marriage of close relatives is not only a matter of blood, but also the unification of the Korean and Chinese regimes. In the early Qing Dynasty, there was such a sentence that "the Qing Dynasty loves the men of the Xinjue Luo family, and the harem is the women of the Borjigit family", so the position of the empress in the early Qing Dynasty must also be of the Borjigit family women. Today's protagonist is a typical example, she is the niece of Xiaozhuang's clan, Borjigit Mengguqing. After Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, Xiaozhuang urged her to become empress and marry his cousin, who was still a famous dorgon in history, in order to unify the regime! But when he got married, Shunzhi was just six years old.
When they were 14 years old, Meng Guqing officially became the empress of Shunzhi. At that time, Shunzhi was still very afraid of the power of the regent Dorgon, so he could only hold a tacit attitude towards the marriage of this door. It is rumored that the queen is beautiful and moving, not only beautiful but also intelligent. Originally, this was a beautiful karma, but the empress and Shunzhi had a lot of quarrels in the future, but they could be resolved one by one. It turned out that the empress had originally grown up in a royal and wealthy environment, and the expenditure and luxury in life were habits that she had since childhood, so even after marriage, she was still the same habit as before, which was very unpleasant to Shunzhi, who had always advocated frugality, and it was rumored that Meng Guqing's bowl and spoon for every meal had to be gold, and even silver could not enter her eyes. And at that time, when it first entered the Central Plains, the world was undecided, and sometimes Shunzhi was reluctant to use meat when eating, which became a clear contrast with Meng Guqing. Such a thing was mentioned in the later will of Meng Guqing to be abolished by Shunzhi!
Not only does shunzhi look bad at the cost, but also her jealous personality. In her eyes, she could not tolerate other concubines in the Shunzhi harem, and often quarreled with Shunzhi because of such things, so she fell into a jealous personality, and Shunzhi also believed that she was not the empress of the mother's world, and her tolerant personality was not suitable for people like Meng Guqing. In the palace she was like a captive golden bird, not free, not paying attention. And her stubborn personality is not willing to be soft anyone who comes to persuade her, even Xiaozhuang. After marriage, the contradictions with Shunzhi became more and more, and Shunzhi mentioned several times like Xiaozhuang that he wanted to abolish Meng Guqing, but he was jealous of the face of Dorgon and the Xiaozhuang family and did not act. Dorgon died in the seventh year of Shunzhi, but the power had not yet been eradicated, looking at the face of the empress and the same as the arrogant Dorgon at that time. Shunzhi was also really intolerable, and during the ten years of Shunzhi, Meng Guqing, who had only been an empress for two years, was deposed and demoted to Concubine Jing.
Meng Guqing, who was demoted to concubine Jing, was not afraid at all, she returned to the grassland, history also rumored that she was pregnant at that time, and gave birth to Shunzhi's son on the grassland, many years later the officials of the imperial court came to the grassland to want to return the prince but Meng Guqing refused, since then, Meng Guqing's records have disappeared from history. The author still thinks that this rumor is not true, because how can the royal family let the prince wander outside, even if Shunzhi did not like this child, and Xiaozhuang also had a status at that time, and this child was also counted as one of her mother's family, she could never let the children of Borjigit and Ai Xinjueluo's family wander outside and not return to the imperial court.
