Abhay was an unusual woman in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not only as Nurhaci's concubine, but also as Nurhaci's last concubine. But it made Nurhaci's son Huang Taiji very jealous, so what was the reason for this?
I. The "chess pieces" that rise from the wind and water
Abhay was the niece of Belbu Zhantai of the Jurchen Ula tribe, who was originally a prisoner of Nurhaci, and for the sake of the tribe, Nurhaci helped him become the new Beyler of the Ural tribe. In order to consolidate the interests of the Jianzhou jurchens, Bu Zhantai began frequent marriages. It was in this situation that the naïve twelve-year-old Abhay was used as a bargaining chip by his uncle to marry nurhaci, who was already forty-two years old but still ambitious and fierce.
Aristocratic women were born to be pawns for politics, and the superficial scenery was infinite, and privately they were taught from the beginning of their understanding that the hearts of the people in the court were sinister. Sometimes the meaning of life is so sad. Although you are a princess, you have no right to dominate your marriage.
Although Abhay was still young, with his good beauty and intelligence, he was deeply favored by Nurhaci, and used his efforts to exchange dignity among Nurhaci's many wives, and his status soared.
Life is like a river, one side is as brilliant as clouds, and there must be one side that is dim and unpretentious in the obscurity of the light.
Just as Abahai's status was steadily rising, Nurhaci's concubine Menggu's sister at that time was hovering on the shore of the Forgotten River. The Menggu sister was the most important political of Nurhaci's many marriages. After marrying Nurhaci, Menggu's sister gave birth to her only son, Emperor Taiji. Although Emperor Taiji was already Nurhaci's eighth son, it did not affect Nurhaci's love for him in the slightest.
It is said that the name of Huang Taiji itself contains Nurhaci's high hopes for his successor. By the time Huang Taiji was seven years old, Nurhaci had already asked him to take care of everything in the house. Because Menggu's maternal tribe Yehebu has always been a hostile tribe to Nurhaci, Menggu has not returned to her mother's house for fifteen years after marriage, and when she knew that her time was short, her last wish was to return to her mother's house to meet her mother, but was rejected by her own brother Narin Bulu. Menggu, who was already terminally ill, died directly without "returning to the light".
Menggu was originally Nurhaci's concubine, and after her death, the harem could not be left without a master, who could inherit the position of concubine? To everyone's surprise, this concubine was quickly replaced, and it was a childish woman, Abahai. At that time, Abhay had just turned fourteen years old and had not yet given birth to Nurhaci a son and a half daughter. And abhay is a "gift" from a hostile tribe to "change relatives". Not only is his life worry-free, but he can also stand out in the complex harem fight, which shows that Abba Hai is very clever and has the means.
in Nurhaci
Second, the gossip of heaven
Nurhaci's four most trusted people are the second son Daishan, nephew Amin, the fifth son Manggutai and the eighth son Huang Taiji, known as the Four Great Belles. His nephew Amin naturally could not inherit the throne, and Manggutai was cut down by emperor Taiji in the later stages for plotting against his sister Mangguji. Dai Shan is generous and very supported. Great inheritor style. What no one could have imagined was that the cautious Daishan could also be related to Abhay?
After two years as a concubine, the favored Abahai finally bore Nurhaci sons: Azig, Dorgon, Dodo. As a woman, sitting under one person, the peak position above ten thousand people is already the commanding height of life. But celebrities without "gossip" are not celebrities, and a dark tide without deception is not a harem.
One day, Abbahai's maid, Deinze, complained that Dafujin Abhay had behaved inappropriately and had personally made delicacies for Daishan and Emperor Taiji several times. Dai Shan received and ate it, and frequently praised Abahai. Huang Taiji was not eaten, and was very decent. And Abhay went out of the palace several times at night, and his whereabouts were mysterious. Nurhaci was already suspicious and was furious when he heard it. It is not good to use such a family ugly to openly dispose of his wife and son. He had to find another excuse to say that Abhay "stole the gold veil," should have been executed, and because the young son still needed to be cared for, he ordered a divorce. And deszein, who had meritorious service in filing a complaint, was also successfully awarded the title of Xiao Fujin. All the wind and rain have called for the status, Abahai also wants to "steal the gold veil", such an excuse, I am afraid that only Nurhaci can come up with it, a generation of emperors also have such a lame time, it is really funny.
The strange scandal not only subverted Abhay's life, but also the bright future of Daishan, who not only lost the military power in his hands, but also lost his father's pleasure, and even more did not want to think about it. If there is really something wrong, if there is a manipulative pusher behind it, then this conspiracy maker is really a good means. A good move to kill two birds with one stone, can't help but make people feel amazing!
Third, the peak circuit turns and twists and turns
Love should be a bridge that can forgive everything, and in all of Nurhaci's political marriages, Abahai is so different that she does not have a strong mother's family to exchange interests with Nurhaci, but only buys the old man's heart with full love for Nurhaci, although the age difference is more than thirty years. Once again, Nurhaci made a surprising decision, and a year later, for no reason, he let Abhay return to the position of grand concubine. Originally thought that once I entered the cold palace, it was as deep as the sea, but it turned out that Abhay was just going out on a trip. Abhay, who had regained the throne as a great concubine, naturally cherished the blessings of this great calamity even more. Nurhaci was more attentive to him, and her three sons became more intelligent and capable. The old Nurhaci's love for his charming little wife has reached a new climax, and he still has to tell Abahai about the military and political affairs in the court. Abhay's position in the harem and the position of the pillow wind were already extraordinary.
Life is so devious and changeable, Nurhaci is not willing to be comfortable after all, and launched an attack on the Ming Dynasty when he is most proud, but he never imagined that his "Destiny" belonged to his own wrong thoughts. After Nurhaci was injured by Yuan Chonghuan's red-clad cannon, the wound festered and infected, and knowing that his life would not last long, he immediately asked the grand concubine Abahai to accompany him through the last part of his life. And Abhay never dreamed that this time of companionship was also the end point of her life.
Since Nurhaci did not make a will before his death, the new Khan was most likely the three sons of Emperor Taiji and Abhay, and fortunately, Nurhaci's "Great Khan Push" theory, Huang Taiji was successfully elected as the new Khan (how many conspiracies there were in the meantime, only the parties know best). Abahai, who was immersed in grief, did not feel anything wrong, perhaps she was too sad, no matter how much charm, it was just to please Nurhaci and be a simple wife. However, her immobility made people who were ready to act wary, such as the new Khan Emperor Taiji, who was already nervous when sitting on the throne.
Abhay was the only person nurhaci accompanied before his death, and as long as Abhay said that he was dissatisfied or some new "last words" were born, his khanship would not be guaranteed. So, an earth-shattering conspiracy was tailor-made for Abhay and immediately came out. Although Abahai has no intention of harming others, he should not be without the intention of defending people. Is all this providence? Or is it fate?
Fourth, the mysterious cause of death
In the early morning of August 12, Dai Shan announced that Emperor Taiji would succeed to the throne, and then announced that "Emperor Nian had already given his last order to the kings, the great concubine, to be buried." This sunny thunderbolt made Abahai have no time to think, how could the husband, who had always loved him dearly, have such a will? When did he see these princes and leave behind his will? No one answered all the questions, no matter how much she cried, the excuse was useless.
Abahai was Nurhaci's wife, and after giving birth to three sons, how could he be martyred? It's a fan or a fan. Whether it was Nurhaci's personal will and testament we do not know, but this paragraph in the "Records of the Qing Taizu" was personally compiled by Emperor Taiji himself. The book says that Abba Hai "was charming, but jealous, and every time the emperor was displeased, although it changed organically, it was eventually controlled by the emperor's ming." Nurhaci predecided the kings, "In the end of my life, I will be martyred." Of course, in addition to Abahai, there was also the little Fu Jinde Inze who was the informant of the year, who was also martyred.
Life is so unpredictable, although she accompanied Nurhaci to the end of her life, but never thought of planning for her own future, the prominent identity of the grand concubine gave Abahai supreme rights and grace, and also left an infinite sigh for her ending.
