In history, the Kangxi Emperor's life expectancy is very long, and the 60 years of emperor career before and after have allowed the emperor to live a full imperial career.
Although there were many enemies in his life, and basically on the way to fight against the enemy. However, since he is an emperor, there is no doubt that the number of women in the harem is naturally very large, especially the emperor who has lived for such a long time.
According to historical records, before and after the Kangxi Emperor, the number of empresses had was 4, which shows that the number of people in his harem is by no means a minority. Logically, after the death of the Kangxi Emperor, it should be 4 empresses who should be buried with him. But according to historical records, in addition to the 4 queens, there was also a woman who was also cramming into it, so what is going on?
When looking at the Kangxi Dynasty, many people will be touched by Kangxi's political life, thinking that it is the real tough guy, who has been fighting the enemy all his life, and finally forced to become the so-called Emperor of the Ages. But in fact, Kangxi this person not only went far in his career, but also far surpassed others in marriage.
According to the historical records, in the harem of the Kangxi Emperor, the number of famous people once exceeded 65, and these women bore him 55 children.
What is this concept? This is equivalent to the achievement of 65 couples in modern society, and the Kangxi Emperor has indeed amazed future generations in terms of marriage, and the children born can form a reinforced platoon.
But then again, although there were many women around the Kangxi Emperor, this emperor was more desperate after all, so the only ones who could get on the table were a few empresses. According to historical records, the Kangxi Emperor had a total of 4 empresses before and after, namely, Empress Xiaochengren of the Hesheli clan, Empress Xiaozhaoren of the Niuhulu clan, Empress Xiaoyiren of the Tong Jia clan, and Empress Xiaogongren of the Wuya clan.
Regarding the identity of these people, they are all famous in history, especially Empress Herschel and Tong Jiashi, and appear many times in the novel.
On the one hand, these people have great resources behind them, and on the other hand, they have helped Kangxi at certain critical moments, so they have the dignity of an empress, and at the same time, they have dominated the love of the Kangxi Emperor under legal conditions.
Because of this, when the Kangxi Emperor died, no matter how desperate he was, these 4 women must be buried with him, which is a unique honor that belongs to the empress.
But what is more embarrassing is that 4 empresses accompanied the emperor to be buried together, which is a normal operation, but in addition to these 4 empresses, there is another woman who actually lies next to the Kangxi Emperor, so what is going on?
According to normal tradition, when an emperor dies and can be buried with him, it is the honor of all concubines, but the person who can accompany the burial must match the emperor in identity, just as the so-called dragon and phoenix match, so the emperor's funeral figure must be a person with the identity of an empress.
Generally speaking, some people are empresses when they are alive, so they can sleep next to the emperor after death, and some people give birth to the emperor, so after the new emperor takes the throne, they will give her the status of empress and let her accompany her to the funeral. However, during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor, he allowed a woman who was not an empress to have the honor of empress, and the person who enjoyed this honor was known in history as the Jingmin Emperor's noble concubine Zhang Jiashi.
You know, the Yongzheng Emperor's ascension to power was already subject to a lot of doubts, so why did he risk the world so much and do such an outrageous thing?
In fact, the Yongzheng Emperor did not have much affection for this imperial concubine, but the children of this imperial concubine really affected the yongzheng Emperor's governance, and for the sake of his own country and for his own reform, he had to carry this woman out.
So why is that? It turned out that the son of the noble concubine Zhang Jia of the Jingmin Emperor was the later famous Prince Yi, and some people who knew the history of the Yongzheng Dynasty knew that Yongzheng's reform was very difficult, and a lot of innovation was needed on the way to reform, and it was precisely this Prince Yi who rushed to the first line of reform, which not only helped Yongzheng withstand most of the pressure, but also made Yongzheng's reform flourish.
In fact, if we examine history further, we will find that this prince was simply a firefighter at that time, and the first reform needed a back-pot man who absorbed all the infamy, so this prince came out. And he not only came out, but in the history that followed, he first sorted out the bureaucracy, then adjusted taxes, then carried out arms reform, and then did military affairs in the northwest. Later, he even went to agriculture and provoked water conservancy reforms.
Looking back at the reform of the Yongzheng Dynasty, there is no doubt that the overall layout of Yongzheng has played an immeasurable role, but when it comes to practical implementation, it all depends on this Prince Yi.
There are even Western missionaries who comment that this prince is not only capable, but also has a strong interest in Western religion, Western culture and arms. So much so that many people in modern society lament that if this prince can ride the wind and waves, it may be difficult for the later Eight-Power Alliance to enter China.
Therefore, Prince Yi was so important, the Yongzheng Emperor naturally loved him deeply, and this love even exceeded the love for Nian Qianyao. And after all, the other party was so hard-working, so the Yongzheng Emperor had to give him motivation and honor, so he broke the rules and buried his mother with the Kangxi Emperor.
Perhaps everyone will say that such a move is really a challenge to the ancestral tradition, which will undoubtedly make the Yongzheng Emperor's rule worse. But if we think about it, what the Yongzheng Emperor did in those years was to break everything and establish a new order as much as possible, and to lay down all these gentry groups. At such a critical juncture, it is natural that the debt is too much to be pressed, and the more such a time, the more compensation should be made and the people who work harder.
Therefore, this matter tells us a truth, there has never been an immutable ancestral law, and there has never been an unbreakable rule, and everything is based on the interests of the ruler.
However, then again, as the mother of Prince Yi, this woman once gave birth to a son and two daughters for the Kangxi Emperor, and the result was the ruthless treatment of the Kangxi Emperor in the end, and it was really a lifetime of humiliation to be ridiculed every day as a virtuous slave. Perhaps she would never have imagined that her son would be so good, even so good that he would allow himself to break through the limitations of the queen. I have to say that history is really so ingenious.
