She was the niece of the King of the Iron Hat of the Great Qing Dynasty, and was favored by the emperor in the Eight Banners Draft, and was given the title of Concubine Fujin (正女). However, after marriage, she seemed to be cursed, frail and sickly, and became a court version of Lin Daiyu, and disappeared with a red face before she was twenty years old. Unexpectedly, only 32 days later, her husband YiXuan ascended to the throne of the Qing Dynasty, and what is even more surprising is that this red-faced and thin-lived Empress of the Qing Dynasty went through three dynasties before she was buried, which can be called the most unblessed empress of the Qing Dynasty.
1. The niece of the Iron Hat King
Empress Xiaodexian of the Sakda clan, year of birth unknown, Manchurian blue flag people, later carried to Manchuria with yellow flags, Jin First Rank Cheng'en Duke, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Futai daughter, Xianfeng Emperor originally matched the empress.
Due to the lack of information, it is not known which Sakda clan Empress Xiaodexian came from, but from the existing archives, the Sakda clan of Empress Xiaodexian was not prominent in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and has been in a state of no name, and this state did not begin to change until the generation of her great-grandfather Ming shan.
Empress Xiaodexian's great-grandfather Ming shan was born as a prisoner, and was admitted to the army by pen and post, successively serving as a Daoist, inspector, and envoy, and later served as the governor of Yungui, and after Daoguang succeeded to the throne, Mingshan was summoned to the Beijing Division, served as the Shangshu of the Punishment Department and the governor of the capital, and became a member of the imperial court. It can be seen that Daoguang is very important to this old minister, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Daoguang married Empress Xiaodexian (Mingshan's great-granddaughter) to her son Yixuan.
Empress Xiaodexian's grandfather Qi Chang and father Futai were not as capable as Mingshan, and their father and son, one of whom had achieved the rank of Wailang and the other of taichang Temple, were not bad, and they were barely high-ranking officials.
In fact, this is not important, what is important is that Empress Xiaodexian's maternal background is very hard, how hard?
Empress Xiaodexian's mother was the third daughter of Ur Gong'a, the Prince of Zheng.
The first Prince Zheng was Nurhaci's nephew (Shulhaqi's sixth son) Zilharang, who made great contributions to the founding of the Qing Dynasty and was crowned prince by Emperor Taiji. Moreover, this prince is different from ordinary kings and can be hereditary, which is what we often call the iron hat king.
I don't know if you remember the two bridge sections in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", first, Yin Xiang said when bidding farewell to Wu Sidao that the reward given by the imperial brother Yongzheng to himself was nothing, and Yin Xiang did not care about these, but this iron hat king was really rare. Second, the Eighth Master Yin Yu secretly supported the rebellion of the third son of the Emperor, Hongshi, and When Hongshi asked him what he wanted, Yin Yu was also talking about an iron hat king.
It can be seen that this hat is indeed a good thing, after all, the Qing Dynasty has only had 12 for more than two hundred years.
In addition, Empress Xiaodexian was also related to two empresses, one was Empress Xiaozhenxian, who was the successor of Xianfeng, and the other was Empress Xiaozheyi of Tongzhi.
The third son of Prince Wu'ergong'a, named Duanhua, inherited the title of Prince zheng and was the uncle of Empress Xiaodexian, and Duanhua's concubine Fu Jin Niuhulu was Empress Xiaozhenxian's aunt. In other words, Empress Xiaodexian's aunt was Empress Xiaozhenxian's aunt.
Duanhua had a daughter who married Zhuangyuan Chongqi and gave birth to Empress Xiaozheyi. That is to say, Empress Xiaozheyi's mother and Empress Xiaodexian were cousins, that is, Empress Xiaozheyi was the cousin niece of Empress Xiaodexian, and at the same time, Empress Xiaozheyi was also the daughter-in-law of Empress Xiaodexian.
2. Prince Fu Jin of the Great Qing Dynasty
Twenty-six years after Daoguang, Daoguang, who had hesitated for a long time, finally wrote the name of the crown prince on the secret will of the Crown Prince, who was the fourth son of the emperor, Yixuan, and at the same time, the sixth son of the emperor, Yixuan, was made a prince. This is the only time that the names of the two princes appear in the Secret Decree of the Qing Dynasty, which can be seen in the complex psychology of Daoguang's hesitation in lichu:
"Crown the emperor's fourth son Yixuan as the crown prince, and the sixth son of the emperor Yixuan as the prince."
Daoguang also did not expect that this time Li Chu changed the fate of the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent, and also affected the history of China.
At the beginning of the following year, Daoguang ordered the Eight Flags Draft to be held to select Fujin for his two sons Yixuan and Yixuan, and after selection, Sakda, the daughter of Futai from the Blue Banner, was pointed out to the fourth son of the Emperor, Yixuan:
"Daughter of Futai." Has been referred to as the marriage of four brothers. Daughter of King Seberk Dolji of Qaraqin Zasak Doroduleng. It has been referred to as the king of the marriage county. Everything that should be done. The yamen will be handled as usual."
In October of that year, the fourth son of the Emperor, YiXuan, was betrothed to the Sakda clan (performing the initial ceremony). On February 27 of the New Year, that is, on February 27 of the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang, the fourth son of the Emperor Yixuan and the Sakda clan held a wedding, and the place where the two lived after the marriage was Nansanshou, which has been the place where the prince lived after the Jiaqing Dynasty, which was located on the east side of the outer dynasty, also known as "Fang Hall" or "Agoso".
I don't know whether it was not suitable for court life, or some other reasons, Sakda's married life was not smooth, after half a year of marriage, he felt cold, and in April of the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang, he added wetness, and in October he was bedridden due to "blood deficiency liver wind".
In early December of the 29th year of Daoguang, Sakda's condition improved, who knew that it was a return to the light, and finally died at about 10:00 a.m. on December 12, estimated to be less than 20 years old.
You know, before the Sakda clan was accused of giving Yi Xi the title of Concubine Fujin, Yi Xi had been secretly appointed as the crown prince, in fact, the Sak Da clan was the future Empress of the Great Qing, which was good, Yi Xi had not yet succeeded to the throne, she died.
However, Daoguang did not have the heart to organize a funeral for this daughter-in-law at this time, because the day before the death of the Sakda clan, Daoguang's stepmother Empress Gongci (Empress Xiaoherui) also died, and for a while, the Forbidden City was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
3. Empress of the Qing Dynasty who was buried in three dynasties
I have to say that Daoguang is really a real person, too involved in the funeral of his stepmother Xiaohe Rui, only a month later, Daoguang Emperor actually died in the Shende Hall of the Yuanmingyuan, and declared the heir status of the fourth son of the emperor, Yixuan, before dying, and then the 20-year-old Yixuan inherited the throne of the Qing Dynasty, for the Xianfeng Emperor, at this time only 32 days after the death of the Sakda clan, it is a pity.
After Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, in addition to handling the funeral for his grandmother Empress Xiaoherui and his father Daoguang, he did not forget to send his wife Sakda and ordered her to be posthumously crowned empress:
"Be a lily." Xie Kun Wei and Bi Zai. Qi Mingxiyao. Zi Yue is driven by Zhou Hui. The dream of Burmese Chastity. Yilong Xian. Retrospectively inherited from the internal rule. Zhaoxi Jia name. Empress Sakda's Menji Qingling family worshiped the religion. Yingyuan is different. Zhan Feng gathered and Xiang Ren. The Emperor came to concubine. Boom and for all. Capture Emperor Zu Xiaoxiao and Empress Rui. Good to smile. Ke Li Wan heart. Orchid Spring Melting. Bong Yu and hand into the pepper summer open. Clean and clean. Emperor Xuanzong became emperor. Courtesy of diligence. Practice the sincerity of shangyi. Shu shōgun Funeze. But bow down to benevolence. There is light with the rise of the soft yong cloth. Political class in the pot. Serve silk without hesitation. Jianmao Deep Palace. IKEA Qimei in Ge Qin. Thick as a tree. Fang You Day Jin. Zi Xie praised to open the mold. Lan Yi Yunsheng. ShiRoujia to set an example. Yi Zhi Zhi. The nickname is still false. He is the restoration of the destiny. Remember the emblem and be there. Yun Yiyao edited the book. Hua Yu Yanxiang. Pursue the public opinion of the consort. The Yang-style conformist system. Weekly Constitution. I wish to choose Lingchen. Pray to the Temple. Take the Tao Guang thirty years of October 27. She was honored as Empress Xiaode. In the play of motherhood in all nations. The basis of the Yangzhi transformation of the Huan District. Zhao Yi walked in a thousand autumns. Rate the soil to sow the royal wind. Publicize the world. Salty makes it known. ”
In December of the 30th year of Daoguang, on the first anniversary of the death of Empress Xiaode's Sakda clan, Xianfeng ordered that the Sakda clan be raised from the blue flag to the yellow flag, and then posthumously named Sakda's father Futai the third class Cheng'en Duke, and his mother Jue Luoshi as his wife Yipin.
Poor Saxda, with a short life, won the glory of raising the flag and a hereditary duke for the family, did he earn or lose?
In fact, in the case of the Sakda clan, she was going to be buried with Xianfeng, but Xianfeng had just succeeded to the throne, and she had to handle the funeral of her grandmother and father, who had the heart to build an imperial tomb for herself, so the matter was temporarily shelved, and the Sakda's Zi Palace had been stored in the funeral palace.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, Sakda's husband XianFeng died in the Rehe Summer Resort, and he did not build an imperial tomb for himself until his death. As a result, this heavy responsibility fell to the two empresses of the two palaces, Ci'an and Cixi.
At about 8:00 a.m. on September 22 of the fourth year of Tongzhi, Xianfeng was buried in the Dingling Underground Palace together with Empress Xiaodexian's Zi Palace, and the empress dowagers Ci'an and Cixi of the two palaces personally attended the funeral with their young Tongzhi Emperors.
Zichen said:
Empress Xiaodexian was a fairly low-profile empress of the Qing Dynasty, and some people even thought that Ci'an (Empress Xiaozhenxian) was the original match of Xianfeng, but as everyone knew, as early as Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, she already had a wife, and Ci'an was only Xianfeng's stepwife. As for Cixi, the concubine who belonged to the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, if she had not died early, Cixi would have knelt down when she saw Filial Piety, and perhaps the entire history of the late Qing Dynasty would have changed.
I really did not expect that the early death of a young woman accidentally affected the trend of the history of the Qing Dynasty and changed the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Empress Xiaode spent her short life in exchange for the glory of raising the flag and the status of duke for her family, but for her personally, she was the most unblessed empress of the Qing Dynasty.
