We all know that the ancients married early, and the age of teenage years may have been a mother for a long time, and at our current age, we are just a student. During the Qing Dynasty, there was a little girl who became an empress at the age of 11, and she was Empress Xiaochengren. She was kangxi's first empress, Hersheli, who was born during the Shunzhi period, and her grandfather was Kangxi's assistant minister, and her father also served as a high-ranking official in the imperial court.
In the fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Xiaozhuang began to prepare for his marriage in order to allow her grandson to seize power as soon as possible. At that time, she chose three women who matched Kangxi in terms of age and family, namely the Hesheri clan, the Niuhulu clan, and the Guarjia clan. If you look at the family lineage and family status, the latter two are the most prominent. Both of their grandfathers were founding fathers of the Qing Dynasty, among the five ministers, and both had dukes.
Although Hesheli's grandfather was also an assistant minister of Kangxi, he was not prominent in the early Qing Dynasty, and it should be said that he was a rising star. Of the three families, her family conditions were the worst, but in the end Empress Xiaozhuang chose her as empress, and the Niuhulu clan became Kangxi's concubine, and as for the Guarjia clan, she married the son of another auxiliary minister. Although this arrangement seems a little incredible, it reflects the wisdom of Empress Xiaozhuang.
She included Sony's granddaughter and Shubilong's daughter in the palace, and to a certain extent, she co-opted the two families, and married Aobai's daughter Guarjia to Suksaha's son, which also allowed the four auxiliary ministers to balance each other, and only when their power was balanced could Kangxi regain his imperial power faster. In the fourth year of Kangxi, the 11-year-old Herschel married him, and they were politically married, but the two young couples had a good relationship after marriage, and in a few years, Hescheli gave birth to two princes for Kangxi, their first child lived to the age of 4 and died, and the second son, Yin Rong, was lucky to grow up.
However, this time, although Herschel saved the child's life, he himself suffered a difficult birth and died during childbirth. While Kangxi got his son, he also lost his beloved woman, and only he could understand such a feeling. After the empress's death, Kangxi held a solemn funeral for her in her honor and gave her a unique nickname: Empress Renxiao. Most of the empress titles of the Qing Dynasty will have the word "Ren", and Kangxi added a filial piety to his wife's title, so it should be rare to say that such a time can also be seen the depth of Kangxi's feelings for this empress.
In addition to the special title, he also parked the empress's coffin in the former Qianqing Palace and personally put on filial piety clothes to serve her funeral, which is rare to see in the history of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. As the saying goes, aiwu and Wu, a year after the death of the empress, the emperor crowned their second child as the crown prince, and he was the only prince in the history of the Qing Dynasty to be made known. But unfortunately, although the emperor was very fond of this prince, he repeatedly provoked the imperial power, and finally Kangxi deposed him, and the throne was also inherited by Yongzheng.
