In recent years, the popular Qing Palace drama "Ruyi Zhuan", Jin Yuyan is the main role that has always existed in the harem, she has a foothold in the harem with her beautiful appearance and vicious heart, initially she was the daughter of the Northern Patriarch of the Joseon Dynasty, as a Noble Daughter of The Joseon Dynasty, she entered the Qianlong Submerged Residence of the Prince period as a Korean noblewoman, and became Qianlong's low-level concubine Gege, because of the identity of a foreign woman, Jin Yuyan will also have national instruments and dances, Qianlong has a great interest in her, for a while Jin Yuyan became the most favored woman, has been pampered, Later, due to the failure of the palace fight and lost favor, but because she gave birth to three sons, Jin Yuyan's position in the palace was still not easy to shake, after the restoration of favor, she only wanted her son to ascend to the position of prince, but in the end she was defeated in the battle of the harem women, and none of her sons became princes.
We know that in the feudal society where men are inferior to women, women's records are always less than men's, even if they are the emperor's concubines, they are probably only recorded family lineage and harem experience, such as canonization and heirs, rarely record their detailed harem battles, and these things are indeed difficult to capture, so most of the tragic harem battles in film and television dramas are fictional, but the real historical palace fights will never be less tragic than this. So is there really Jin Yuyan in history, and has her life experience really had such ups and downs?
Jin Yuyan's prototype is the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Shujia Emperor's noble concubine Jin Jiashi, originally the Jin clan, her ancestors were From Uiju, North Korea, in the early Qing Dynasty, she was subordinated to the Han Army, her father was only a small official garden in the middle of the Dynasty, shangsiyuan Qing Sanbao daughter, her brother was jin Jian of the official to the official Shangshu, initially she belonged to the ministry of internal affairs, and then was ordered to wrap the coat, into manchuria, the yellow flag, changed to the Jinjia clan, although the Qing rulers still valued the Manchus in their selfish hearts, if they met the Han women they liked, they would choose to elevate the identity of the woman to match the royal family. When Qianlong was still the crown prince, the Jin Jia clan had already entered the palace to serve the Hongli, and the name was only Gege.
In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, the Qianlong Emperor took the throne, the Jin clan was crowned as a golden nobleman, once favored, the family was glorified, the family of the golden noble was rewarded and promoted, the father of The Concubine Jin Sanbao had a hereditary position of hereditary ruler, and the Qianlong Emperor also wrote in the recital that it was necessary to avoid any thoughts of grace because of the golden nobles. In the second year of Qianlong, Jin Guiren was given the title of Jia Concubine, and this "Jia" character was selected by Qianlong from the four characters of the proposed words "Ling, Wan, Jia, and Pure". In the fourth year of Qianlong, Jia Concubine gave birth to the fourth son of the Emperor Ai Xin Jue Luo Yong Jue, the mother of the son Gui, in the same year Jia Concubine was promoted to Jia Concubine, qianlong eleven years, Jia Fei gave birth to the eighth son of the Emperor Ai Xin Jue Luo Yong Xuan, two years later was edicted as Jia Guifei, eight days later she gave birth to a son again, the ninth son of the Emperor, but the ninth son of the Emperor died prematurely when he was two years old, Qianlong seventeen years, gave birth to the eleventh son of the Emperor Ai Xin Jue Luo Yong Xuan.
In this way, the road to the canonization of the Jinjia clan is advanced with the birth of children, and generally the harem women can lean over to protect themselves by giving birth to a son, and the Jinjia clan is four sons in this life. When Qianlong took the imperial family to the Qing Dongling Tomb to participate in the ceremony of feng'an, the empress Nala and Jia Guifei accompanied Emperor Gaozong to tour the Yuling Underground Palace, among the many concubines, Jia Guifei could go with the empress, it seems that the emperor still attached great importance to Jia Guifei, and even had the interest of choosing an heir from her sons.
In the twentieth year of Qianlong, Jia Guifei died at the age of forty-three, and according to the sacrifice records recorded in the Imperial Canon, the Jin clan died of malaria, that is, a disease caused by high temperatures or abnormal rises in body temperature. However, it is also rumored that after she gave birth to her last child, her health became bad, which was infected with the disease. In the same year, the Jin clan was posthumously awarded the title of imperial concubine, and in the fourth year of Jiaqing, the Jin clan was carried into the Manchurian Banner of the Zhenghuang Banner, from the original small Han family woman, the Jin Jia clan could do such a point, which was really unattainable by ordinary women. After entering the palace for several years, she gave birth to four sons in a row, whether the mother relied on her son or not, so it seems that her favor has not been broken, Qianlong as a famous emperor in history, Jin Jiashi can be favored as always, it can be seen that her appearance is certainly not bad, and she can also properly please the emperor.
Except for one son, who died prematurely, the remaining three sons were all made princes, and although they were not made crown princes and inherited the throne, they were lucky enough, among them, the eighth son of the emperor, Prince Yongxuan Yishen, lived to the age of eighty-seven, and the eleventh son of the emperor, Prince Yongxuan Chengzhe, lived to the age of seventy-two and was still a calligrapher. It's just a pity that Jin Jia died early, otherwise with several princes' sons, she would also have no worries about her life.
There is also an anecdote about the Jin Jia clan, more than a hundred years after her death, the Qianlong Emperor Yuling was blown up by the warlord Sun Dianying, and the Shujia Emperor's noble concubine was buried in the Qing Dynasty Eastern Tomb Yuling Underground Palace, so the golden coffin of the Jin Jia clan was also blown open, leaving the bones incomplete, and finally it was loaded into a coffin by the bones of other concubines.
