The Qing royal family seemed to have always been affectionate and dedicated, and Emperor Taiji married three aunts and nephews, but he only personally named one person as his concubine, spoiled her for a lifetime, and followed her two years after her death. And Emperor Taiji's son Fu Lin was also the only one, and he crowned her as an imperial concubine when the empress was still alive. In fact, Shunzhi's son Kangxi also inherited the special love of his ancestors, and did not hesitate to violate the ancestral precepts of the woman who married him at the age of 11.
The woman who Kangxi did not hesitate to disobey his ancestral precepts was Empress Xiaochengren, of the Hesheri clan. Many years ago, in the "Palace", which was a fire, it was described that Kangxi was attached to Heschel. On February 3, 1654, the home of the chancellor, Herschel Sony, ushered in the birth of a young man. She was the future Queen Herschel, and her family had a very high status. Both his father and grandfather held important positions in the imperial court, and in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661), Shunzhi died. At that time, the third prince Xuan Ye was only eight years old, and Shunzhi issued a will and decreed that Sonny, Shu bilong, Suksaha, and Aobai assist the government.
Xuan Ye was born on May 4, 1654, but according to the Shunzhi years, Herschel was born in the shunzhi decade, and Xuan Ye was born in the eleventh year of Shunzhi, and the two were actually one year apart. Growing up in such a family, it is very likely that he will enter the palace in the future, so from a young age, Heschel received the best education, read poetry and books, and his appearance should be the best. Among the four auxiliary ministers, Ao Bai was arrogant, and Sony was reluctant to clash with Ao Bai at that time.
Empress Xiaozhuang thus changed the tradition of marrying an empress in the Borjigit family of the Horqin clan of Mongolia in the previous two dynasties, and in the fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1665), she ordered the 11-year-old Xuan Ye to marry the 12-year-old Hesheri clan as empress. In fact, when the empress was first chosen, there were not only herschel clan, but also the daughter of Ao Bai and the daughter of Qiu Bilong, and the daughter of Ao Bai was eliminated, and the daughter of Qiu Bi Long entered the palace and became a concubine. Speaking of Empress Heschel's entry into the palace, it was still a bit bumpy, and at that time Aobai did not agree, but Empress Xiaozhuang insisted.
The two of them were of similar age, and Empress Herschel was dignified and gentle, so she had a lot of fun. Sony later opposed Ao bai in the imperial court, but he did not live long, and kangxi died of illness shortly after being canonized as a first-class duke in the sixth year of Kangxi (1667). Even after her grandfather's death, Herschel's favor remained undiminished. On December 13, the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1669), he gave birth to his eldest son, Chenghu. Kangxi was overjoyed, but before he was four years old, Chenghu died of illness.
On the third day of the first month of May in the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1674), Hesheri gave birth to his second son, Yin Rong. Unfortunately, the Empress was unconscious in childbirth, and The 21-year-old Queen Herschel died of illness in the afternoon. Kangxi's day can be said to have experienced great joy and sorrow, and it was difficult to get the concubine of the heart, but the beloved empress died.
According to historical records, at that time, the Korean envoys visited her, kangxi did not see, and has been accompanying her in front of the coffin of Hesheri. In the next six months, he went to Gonghua City, where the Zi Palace is located, 34 times. In total, I went more than 80 times over the years. In the sixteenth year of Kangxi, Kangxi, who had just been created a new empress, went to Gonghuacheng a few days later, and the two later empresses must have been very sad.
And the thing that Kangxi did against his ancestral precepts was the prince of Zhili, probably aiwu and Wu, who was extremely fond of Yin Rong, who was desperately born by Hesheri. At birth, he took the name of the milk, and when he was two years old, he was pre-appointed as the crown prince. It should be known that the ancestral precept of the Qing Dynasty was that it was not possible to pre-appoint a prince in advance before death, and in the same year, when the eldest son of the concubine was born and sacrificed. Kangxi also personally held a ceremony for Yin Rong as crown prince, and his love was deep. Later, he again violated the ancestral precepts and re-established himself again in the case of deposing the crown prince. Isn't all this out of love for his mother?
