In shunzhi's harem, a woman with a big red and purple color appeared. Not only was she the focal point at the time, with her own aura, but she was also widely known in later generations because of her love story with Shunzhi. She is Dong Efei, a beautiful woman who comes and goes in a hurry, life is as short as a meteor, but the topic is as enduring as a star. Shunzhi loved her to death, and because he was so dedicated, he ignored the women of his harem and seemed so desperate.
This even included a relative of Dong Efei, another dong E' family. When Shunzhi became an adult, he was originally a lustful emperor, and the number of people in the harem was so large that many of them did not get the name of The Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and only received the titles of Concubine and Gege. Dong Eshi was one of them, she was just one of the ordinary concubines, and she did not receive much favor at all.
Until after Concubine Dong E entered the palace, Shunzhi suddenly changed his sex like a demon. He changed from amorous to dedicated, even obsessive, this transformation is really incredible, perhaps it is the magic of love. Princess Dong Efei entered the palace very late, but her status soared like a rocket. As soon as she entered the palace, she was given the title of a virtuous concubine, and a month later, she was made an imperial concubine, second only to the empress.
Moreover, Shunzhi was always looking for trouble for the empress for the sake of Concubine Dong, hoping that his beloved woman could replace her. For other women, he did not care at all, and Dong Eshi had never been promoted.
The relationship between Dong Efei and Dong E's clan is actually not very far, they have a common great-grandfather Lu Kesu. One of Lu Kesu's sons, Xi Han, was the grandfather of Concubine Dong'e, and the other son, Silthai, was the grandfather of Dong E. Therefore, the two women whose fates in the harem are very different are very different, and they are actually cousins.
However, when Concubine Dong E's concubines favored the sixth palace, Dong E's clan did not gain any benefits. The reason is already unknown, perhaps Because Princess Dong Efei was naïve by nature, she had no idea to fight and grab, and she had no willingness to form gangs. Maybe Shunzhi didn't want to think about these trivial matters at all, and didn't want to spend a little thought. Perhaps dong e's lack of charm makes Shunzhi uninterested. In short, Princess Dong Efei was high up in the air and attracted the attention of thousands of people, but her cousin Dong E's clan had no favor and no children, and did not even have a title.
However, the changes in the harem are dazzling, and the cruelty in the harem is far beyond imagination. Because of the premature death of her son, Princess Dong Efei was overly sad, and within two years, Xiang Yu died. With the departure of this spoiled concubine, Shunzhi made a fuss about leaving the family, and half a year later he also died of depression. At this time, the news came from the court that Dong Eshi voluntarily buried for Shunzhi and was willing to follow Emperor Daxing. This cold and cold thing, when chasing her in the "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty", was written deeply:
When the emperor was admitted to the guest of honor, the gratitude of the deep, the grief, and the death of Sui'er.
However, everyone knows that although Dong Efei and Dong E's family come from the same family, the favor they receive is very different. Dong E's family had no favor and no children, and even the emperor's face was difficult to see, so how could he voluntarily give his life for a person who did not love himself? What is even more ridiculous is that the official record of Dong E's family is martyred, but not buried with Shunzhi in Dongling, and the cemetery is far under the Huanghua Mountain in Jixian County. I really don't know how this wisp of soul should follow the dead Shunzhi.
Therefore, people have always believed that Dong E's departure is absolutely unavoidable, and it is absolutely a great pain. In fact, in the Qing Dynasty, including the Later Jin Dynasty, there were not many cases of human martyrdom. After the ruler died, three people were martyred. Among them, Nurhaci died, the grand concubine Abahai and the side concubine Deze were martyred, and the other time was the burial of Dong Eshi for Shunzhi. In the twelfth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Qing court formally abolished the system of human martyrdom from law.
That is to say, the poor Dong Eshi was the only one who was martyred for the Shunzhi Emperor, and the last concubine of the Qing Dynasty to be martyred. One theory is that Shunzhi favored Concubine Dong too much, angering Empress Xiaozhuang. Before Dong Efei's death, he unscrupulously promoted the title, and even wanted to depose the empress at the expense of destroying Manchu-Mongolian relations, and later because Dong Efei did not think about tea and dinner, he was not even filial enough to Xiaozhuang. After The death of Concubine Dong, Shunzhi posthumously honored her as empress and held an extraordinary funeral.
In this way, Empress Xiaozhuang, as a mother, was naturally resentful. She could not take revenge on her son, let alone on Concubine Dong E, who had long since died, but she could pour her anger on the people of the Dong E clan. Therefore, Dong E's clan became a victim, and it was precisely because of her sacrifice that the empress dowager did not affect the grief of losing her son to other clansmen.
After her death, she was given the title of "Concubine", what is the significance of this? It was not until the fifty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, when Dong Eshi, who had been dead for more than half a century, was allowed to relocate to Tanglin and accompany his famous and indistinguishable husband. When eating meat, there is no share, and when the knife is cut, there is no running, this is Dong E's desperate life.
