In addition to reading history, Xiao Jue often laments the cruelty of fate. Some people are destined to be rich and prosperous at birth and enjoy happiness for a lifetime, while some people have experienced ups and downs, but they have never been favored and have ended up in a gloomy exit. Even if I am not a fatalist, I often sigh for such historical figures, such as Qianlong's concubine Zhe Mercy Emperor Fu Chashi.
Don't look at her honorific title is scary, in fact, she has not enjoyed the treatment of an imperial concubine for a day, not even the concubine of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and has always been only a concubine of the Qianlong Emperor when he was a prince. Don't look at her and Qianlong's first empress Fucha surname, in fact, the two have no relationship, did not enjoy any glory.
Fucha is one of the eight surnames of the Manchu people, and talents emerge in an endless stream, and high-ranking officials and nobles are like carp crossing the river. Qianlong's first empress, Fucha, was from the Manchurian Yellow Banner Emperor, and from her great-grandfather to her father, she was a member of the imperial court. Therefore, after Fucha married Hongli, he was Consort Fujin, the highest status, and very favored by Hongli, which can be described as a winner in life.
The Fucha clan mentioned in this article is different, she is from the Manchurian Zhenghuangqi people, and is the cold door of the Fucha clan. Her father, Ongotu, was no more than a vassal, with jurisdiction over one or two hundred Zhuang Ding and a limited status. Because of this, the treatment of the Fucha clan was very different from that of Yan Fujin. She was given the Hongli calendar in the first year of Yongzheng, four years before Concubine Fujin, but her identity was always only a concubine.
After that, Hongli married Fu Jin again, but she did not have any relationship with the Fucha clan, and her status only continued to decline. Even in the sixth year of Yongzheng, she gave birth to her first son, Yong Huang, for Hongli, and did not change her situation. Moreover, she also gave birth to a second daughter for Hongli in the ninth year of Yongzheng.
The royals are ruthless and everything is profit-centered. Li Rongbao, the father of the Fucha clan of The Fucha clan, and her uncles Ma Qi and Ma Wu were all important courtiers trusted by Yongzheng, so she could be honored effortlessly. The father of the concubine Fucha clan was a ruler, and even if he served the Hongli with all his heart, even if his children were complete, he was still the lowest concubine in the palace, and everyone who saw him had to perform the ritual.
What is even more tragic is that the life of this Fucha clan is still very short. She served hongli for thirteen years, but just two months before hongli ascended the throne, she suddenly fell ill and died. Shortly after her death, Yongzheng died, which was the top priority of the Qing court, and they were all busy with the funeral of the old emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, who could care about this low-status concubine?
It was not until Qianlong succeeded to the throne that he remembered this bitter woman and made her a concubine, but he did not give her a name. In the second year of Qianlong, Yongzheng's mourning period had passed, and Qianlong posthumously named her a concubine. After another eight years, Qianlong was grateful for her meritorious deeds in giving birth to the emperor's eldest son, so he posthumously named her a noble concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor. The reflection arc of the Qing imperial family seems to be too long.
This noble title was of no use to poor Fucha. However, for her son Yong Juan, there were tangible benefits. After all, the eldest son of the emperor became the son of the imperial concubine, and this status was different from the son of the concubine, and it was even possible to compete for the throne.
However, a sudden change broke Yong Huang's illusion and gave him a fatal blow. It was in the thirteenth year of Qianlong that Empress Fucha died on her way to the east. The Fucha clan had a very good relationship with Qianlong, and his death made Qianlong feel very upset and extremely unstable, and even killed the governor of Huguang in the name of shaving his hair without authorization.
The emperor's eldest son, Yong Huang, crashed into the muzzle of the gun again, and he and the third son of the emperor, YongZhang, did not show enough grief at the funeral of Empress Fucha, causing Qianlong to reprimand them and accuse them of not understanding etiquette. In the face of the civil and military officials, Qianlong also declared: These two people will never inherit the great unification!
You know, Yong Huang was only twenty years old at the time, and Empress Fucha was not related to him by blood. Although she was a concubine, I am afraid that the empress did not take care of Yong Juan in ordinary times. Yong Huang's performance is actually still the common sentiment of people, but because of Qianlong's emotional use, Yong Huang inexplicably lost the right to inherit.
Moreover, after that, Yong Juan fell out of favor and spent all day trembling and living in the shadow of his father. Two years later, he died of fear. Of course, Yong Huang's second son, Mian'en, was later loved unusually by Qianlong, and even had the possibility of succeeding to the throne for a while. Qianlong also felt great regret for Yong Huang's death. Emperor Zhe's concubine later buried Yuling with Qianlong, not knowing whether she would complain about her husband's desperate love in another world.
