The history of the Qing Dynasty has always had endless stories, and the beauty and wisdom of Xiaozhuang have been passed down to this day. Xiaozhuang was favored by Dorgon, and for the sake of Empress Xiaozhuang, he preferred to give up the throne. Why is it that such a woman whose moral integrity is almost perfect in the eyes of others has not been loved by her husband?
Why did Huang Taiji not like the young and beautiful Empress Xiaozhuang, but preferred a young woman who had already married someone? Perhaps this shortcoming of Empress Xiaozhuang led to not liking it.
The victims of political marriages have not been exchanged for the love of their husbands
Xiaozhuang lived on the vast grassland, the natural pasture of blue sky and white clouds, so that Xiaozhuang had the same broad mind, when she was only 13 years old Empress Xiaozhuang, as a victim of the grassland was sent to marry the Qing Dynasty. In order to consolidate the century-old good union between Mongolia and the Great Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian Great Ge GeZhezhe was also his own aunt who had married the Emperor Taiji.
However, after marriage, he never conceived a child, and the Mongols were forced to send Xiaozhuang to the Qing Dynasty to give Emperor Taiji a side fujin, so he married his uncle as a pregnant person. Perhaps as a daughter of the grassland, I was also unwilling to be married in this way, but who could resist the social environment at that time, and who could change their destiny.
However, even if he married Huang Taiji in such a wronged way, he was still snubbed and could not get the love of his husband. The originally free Xiaozhuang was like an eagle in a cage, losing its wings to fly. Because he is just a spare tire, he naturally does not like Huang Taiji much.
And Huang Taiji naturally did not like this new yellow haired, but as a wife, Xiaozhuang still gave birth to a son and three daughters for Huang Taiji, and his only son later became emperor.
Although he could not be favored, he went all out for the sake of the Qing Dynasty
After Emperor Taiji ascended the throne, even if Xiaozhuang was crowned empress, he still did not get the favor of Emperor Taiji, and the arrival of a person at this time made Xiaozhuang's status shake. The emperor married Xiaozhuang's sister Hailanzhu into the palace, and the emperor Taiji's love and pity for Hailanzhu also made Xiaozhuang feel sad and atmospheric.
After Hai Lanzhu gave birth to the crown prince, the emperor Taiji was so happy that he even wanted to have the idea of establishing a prince, to pardon the world, and the amnesty of the world was an event that could be held because of major events. For such a celebration of amnesty will only occur when the crown prince is proclaimed.
This also made Xiaozhuang and some ministers extremely dissatisfied, but unfortunately, the child had not yet had time to take a name, let alone become a prince, and Hai Lanzhu also died a few years later, if the child was still alive, then there might not be a Shunzhi Emperor.
The arrival of Hai Lanzhu made Xiaozhuang's status decline sharply, although he could not get the favor of Huang Taiji, but Xiaozhuang's strong maternal background and prominent family lineage also made Huang Taiji dare not have other ideas, even if Huang Taiji did not like it, he would not snub him too much, and on the surface he was still more polite.
Perhaps in Xiaozhuang's heart, Dolgun is also the person she really likes, so in her subconscious, she does not like huang taiji, and the emotional entanglement between Xiaozhuang and Dolgun is also common for two young people of similar age to love each other, and it is not surprising that Lang Cai and the woman look at each other in their hearts.
Maybe it is only because of the identity of two people, there is no way to combine, which is also the shackles of the feudal dynasty at that time, but lovers can not be together. Or maybe this point of Xiaozhuang makes Huang Taiji dislike, or maybe it is Xiaozhuang's strong character,
Or maybe it's all, let the emperor Taiji can't like it, in short, he has never been loved by her husband in her life.
Accompany the emperors of the three dynasties, support two generations of kings, and leave a good review
Although Xiaozhuang did not get the favor of Huang Taiji, he was not a weak little woman, but a woman with very political vision and strategy, or perhaps there was an age gap between herself and Huang Taiji. In short, Huang Taiji just didn't like Xiaozhuang.
But what people did not expect was that after the death of Emperor Taiji, the unfavored Xiaozhuang relied on his excellent political means to help his only son to the emperor's throne. He then pushed his grandson Kangxi to the throne and gained real power, and Empress Xiaozhuang accompanied the three emperors.
Although he was not favored by his husband, he was respected and fought well by future generations. In fact, the relationship between himself and his son was not particularly harmonious, because the Shunzhi Emperor was not very receptive to his mother's discipline, coupled with the strong personality of princess Xiaozhuang Grassland, which also caused some estrangement between mother and son.
Perhaps The Emperor Taiji did not like him at that time, but also because of the strength of his personality. After Kangxi ascended the throne, he had great respect for this elderly grandmother, and he would go to ask for peace every day, and some matters of government affairs still had to consult Empress Xiaozhuang. Kangxi would write letters to greet his grandmother every time he traveled, which was also a kind of love.
He used his life to assist and cultivate two generations of excellent kings, although he could not get the love of his husband, but it did not affect him to be liked and respected by his descendants, she wrote herself on the monument of history with extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary achievements, and daqing was more prosperous under his efforts.
Therefore, the historical evaluation of Empress Xiaozhuang by posterity is also very high.
