In other words, regarding the life of the Qianlong Emperor, among the various versions that we are circulating today, it can be said that there are many opinions. However, is the qianlong emperor's life really going to become an eternal mystery? The answer is: the suspect case is not doubtful.
First of all, regarding the specific situation of the Qianlong Emperor's birth mother, there is an extremely clear record in the "Qing History Manuscript ● Biography of the Later Concubines", "Empress Xiaoshengxian of the Niu ZhenLu clan, the daughter of the Four Pins Ceremony Lingzhu, the thirteenth year after the thirteenth year of the reign of Emperor Shizong, the number Gege, in August 58 Gengwu Gaozong was born. Yongzheng zhongfeng Concubine Xi. Later, when Emperor Gaozong succeeded to the throne, the Qianlong Emperor honored her as empress dowager according to Yongzheng's will. Obviously, the Qianlong Emperor's birth mother had no problems at all, and what was explained in this book was clear and clear.
Moreover, the Qianlong Emperor was very filial to his old mother, and as long as he traveled by himself, he liked to take his old mother with him. For example, when the Qianlong Emperor was touring the south, he toured with the empress dowager three times. When he went to Wutai Mountain, he also had to take his old mother, the empress dowager, with him. In the sixteenth year of the Qianlong Emperor, he also held a sixtieth birthday for his mother, the empress dowager, in a beautiful way; in the twenty-sixth year, he held a seventy birthday; in the thirty-sixth year, he held an eightieth birthday. Obviously, such a woman must be his own mother, otherwise could the Qianlong Emperor be so filial?
Secondly, the Qianlong Emperor's mother, the NiuYilu clan, had nothing to do with the Han Chinese. Her Nyinglu clan itself belongs to one of the eight major surnames in Manchuria. The grandfather of the Qianlong Emperor's mother was also the founding father of the Qing Dynasty, as early as the time when Nurhaci rose up, the ancestors of the Niuyilu clan followed Nurhaci to start the southern conquest of the northern war, so when Nurhaci established the eight flags system, he deliberately incorporated the Niuyilu clan into the Shangsan Banner of Manchuria, and when the Emperor Taiji came, the ancestors of the Niuyilu clan were named one of the five ministers of the Later Jin. Obviously, such a birth made the status of the Qianlong Emperor's mother appear very honorable.
At the same time, when Niu Yulu was thirteen years old, she entered the palace and became Yongzheng's side Fujin. When he was twenty years old, he was born in the residence of Prince Yong. Obviously, this is very different from the legends of "Tanuki Cat for Prince" and "The Mystery of the Grass House", and among the successive imperial concubines in China, the age of Qianlong's mother is also rare. She lived a total of 87 years in her life and was eventually buried in the Yuanmingyuan. This period was also the most powerful period of the Qing Dynasty. To this end, later when Cixi was the empress dowager, she wanted to emulate this "blessed person" and celebrate several big birthdays. As a result, her several celebrations led to the increasing emptiness of the Qing dynasty's treasury. Therefore, this kind of thing belongs to the "destiny of each peace", and ordinary people really can't learn it.
In short, Qianlong's life: the suspicious case is actually not in doubt. His origins have nothing to do with the gossip that people once had. It can be said that the Qianlong Emperor was a true Manchu, there is no doubt about this. (Lv Haifeng)
