Xiaozhuang: Meritorious service in history, outstanding knowledge of the descendants
With the proliferation of Qing Palace dramas, the reputation of this filial piety has reached an unprecedented peak, because she is a real person, and she has been through three dynasties, especially in the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, whenever it comes to the critical time, she has always pointed out the victory of the Jiangshan shape, protected the social welfare, and made a name for herself through modern entertainment information, which is a natural thing.
But there is a problem, in these TV series, when Xiaozhuang calls himself in the play, he always calls himself "I Filial Piety, I Filial Piety", which is a serious mistake, the word Xiaozhuang is after her death, by her grandson Kangxi to give her the honorific title, this number has as many as 15 words, the first two words are this "Filial Piety", a title that only after death, how can she use it to call herself before she dies, is not a big joke.
The interpretation of Xiaozhuang in the TV series, I think or "Kangxi Emperor" is the most wonderful, of course, the focus only starts from her teaching of Kangxi, before and after the events are naturally not narrated, I think the image of Sichengova is very in line with the character of Xiaozhuang, she is resolute, courageous, responsible, every time you see the word Xiaozhuang in the book, the image in this film and television has emerged.
Empress Xiaozhuangwen,of the Borjigit clan,personal name Bumubutai,was born in the Horqin department of Mongolia, and later married Nurhaci's eighth son, Emperor Taiji, as a side Fujin; Emperor Taiji changed his name to Emperor Daqing and named her Princess Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, giving birth to the ninth son of Emperor Fulin, later the Shunzhi Emperor.
After the death of Emperor Taiji, the Shunzhi Emperor took the throne, and Xiaozhuang was honored as the empress dowager. Later, her grandson Xuanye also took the throne as Kangxi, and was also honored as the empress dowager, who died at the age of 75, she was a famous empress in Chinese history, who trained and assisted shunzhi and kangxi emperors in her lifetime, and was an outstanding female politician in the early Qing Dynasty.
Her nickname is "Da Yu'er", in fact, from the beginning, as the daughter of the leader of the Horqin tribe, she was unhappy, when she was 13 years old, the romantic and uninhibited happy life came to an abrupt end, for the political purposes of the alliance, she married huang taiji, and now the 13-year-old little girl is doing something, probably just entered junior high school, and she got married, married to someone she did not know.
This grassland nation before entering the customs, many customs are very surprising to us, before that, also the aunt married the Emperor Taiji as a concubine, and later her sister Hai Lanzhu also married the Emperor Taiji nine years later, it is estimated that after the death of her husband, she was favored by the Emperor Taiji, strangely, the status was actually above the big jade child who was crowned as a concubine, the sisters and the aunt served a husband, this thinks how to think about how to feel a little bit of ha.
This was their national custom, and there was nothing to blame, but sadly, the status of this concubine was very low, and she was only in the fifth place among the pile of concubines, and her aunt and later sister were above her.
Moreover, the later Emperor Taiji was very fond of his later sister Hai Lanzhu, and even at the most fierce time of the Songjin War, he rushed back to visit the seriously ill Hai Lan Zhu overnight, which was unthinkable for Concubine Zhuang, and from all aspects of the evidence, it was shown that Concubine Zhuang at that time was not favored in the palace.
Shortly after Hai Lanzhu's death, Huang Taiji also died, and for Concubine Zhuang, naturally she could not complain about her sister, so she spread her resentment on Huang Taiji, and she could not forgive her emperor husband until death.
Most people say that Princess Zhuang's exploits are to assist three generations of emperors, in fact, in the Emperor Taiji Dynasty, her role is almost zero, just imagine, an unfavored concubine can play a few more roles, the "Records of the Lord of the Qing Dynasty" said that she was "sponsoring the royal government, the more years there are years" I am afraid and praiseworthy.
And in some wild history, it is said that she often accompanied the Emperor Taiji on expeditions, could condescend to wrap wounds for soldiers, showed generosity, was quite resourceful, and was deeply loved by soldiers, this is just a matter of listening to it, in the Qing Dynasty of male and female defense, it is probably not possible to do this, as for what kind of dog blood drama such as Seducing Hong Chengzu, it is not to listen to it, anyway, I am seriously unbelieving.
Emperor Taiji died violently, Princess Zhuang was 30 years old at the time, young and widowed, and she was miserable, and Emperor Taiji did not appoint a crown prince during his lifetime, which made a group of brothers of kings compete for the throne.
The husband died first, the son was still young, at this time The Concubine Zhuang showed her superb political energy, she with extraordinary insight, calm and forbearance, and the kings, she used her husband's Yu Wei to focus on the overall situation of the country, and finally got the support of Emperor Taiji's younger brother, her younger uncle Dolgun, so that her son Fu Lin ascended the throne, for the Shunzhi Emperor.
During this period, there was a so-called Great Qing mystery case, that is, Concubine Zhuang married Dolgun, as the so-called "first beauty of the East", there are such eye-catching stories, and the articles of later generations surged forward, this secret, that examination of the chaos, this matter has also become the most enthusiastic topic of the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, later generations said that the people who revised history felt that this was a strange scandal in the Great Qing, so it was not loaded, but if there was really something, then the movement must be very large, and the empress dowager was going to get married, and there was no etiquette or anything that could not be said, if not, it was different from stealing, so it was impossible to hide it from the people of the world.
I do not believe that there is a saying of "marrying down", although there are many certified materials, many people also believe that this matter is true, because its hair is about the same era of the famous anti-Qing hero Zhang Cangshui poem, so everyone believes it to be true.
In fact, it was Zhang Cangshui deliberately made for the sake of the Black Manchus, taking a step back, even if it is married, there is nothing to say, we cannot use the Han people's point of view to look at the ethnic minorities, thinking that this is an ugly thing, the northern peoples have a steaming report system since ancient times, this is a marriage custom that has been passed down for a long time, and its purpose is not to lose family interests, that is, after the death of her husband, she is married by the immediate relatives of the family other than the biological son.
For example, Wang Zhaojun, whom we praise endlessly, her husband died within two years, and as a concubine, she was adopted as a lady by the son born to her husband's wife; and then there was the third lady who was the third lady who guarded the border pass of Daming all her life, she presided over the construction of Naturalization City, which is now Hohhot, married her husband to marry her son, and after the son died, she married her grandson under the coercion of the Ming Dynasty, of course, these children and grandchildren are all handed down from the line of concubines, so this is a very normal thing, and it is not worth revealing in this reason.
Full of people, the Shunzhi children of the kindergarten class took their place, looking around the land of China, the waves up and down the Yangtze River were turbulent, the cattle and sheep inside and outside the Great Wall were flocked, the majestic Kunlun was covered with snow, the gushing East Sea was boundless, and a good river and mountains were waiting to be managed.
Princess Zhuang did not follow the government's policies as Cixi did in later generations, but appointed a number of ministers such as Dolgun, Soni, and Fan Wencheng to complete the major affairs of Dingding Zhongyuan one by one, and she coped with the major affairs of the military and state that occurred at any time, which she handled freely, but the hardships in it were only known in the heart of this Concubine Zhuang.
Under her auspices, not only was the destroyed productive forces quickly restored, she lived frugally and did not do anything luxurious, but she also took the lead in advocating frugality, and many times took the money and goods saved in the palace to the disaster area to help the victims of the disaster, or rewarded the soldiers who went out on the expedition, so that in the early Qing Dynasty, the palace has always advocated frugality as a virtue, and this love continued to the Kangyong and Yong dynasties, and the contribution was great.
However, this son Shunzhi is really not a carefree child, he is spontaneous and obsessed, especially on the issue of marriage, he has a conflict with Concubine Zhuang, but he is also a filial piety, so the relationship between the two has a mutual respect and conflict embarrassment.
The Manchu-Mongolian alliance was the basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty, and its basic form was marriage, which was a kind of political marriage, and the stability of northern Xinjiang was all worshiped by this marriage, and Nurhaci even designated the ancestral precept of "continuous relatives in the north".
However, Shunzhi put his personal feelings above the responsibility of the state, and he willfully deposed the original Mongolian empress, and then a Mongolian woman, who was not his beloved, wanted to depose the empress, because at this time he had invested all his feelings on Dong Efei.
After Princess Zhuang intervened to prevent Shunzhi from being deposed again, and wanted to establish Dong Efei as the new empress, the contradiction between the two became apparent, and with the death of Dong Efei's young son, she herself also died, Shunzhi did not want to live, wanted to become a monk, and eventually died of depression, but many people said that he was a monk, which became a major mystery in the early Qing Dynasty.
Next, Shunzhi's son Kangxi succeeded to the throne, and Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight. Xiaozhuang initially worried about his grandson again. Kangxi honored his grandmother as empress dowager, and Xiaozhuang was 48 years old at this time, which was the time when a politician was unprecedented. She had already mastered all the affairs in the palace.
When Kangxi was 16 years old and pro-government, Kangxi and his grandmother Xiaozhuang strategized and took down the powerful minister Aobai in one fell swoop. Kangxi, assisted by his grandmother Xiaozhuang, governed the country smoothly.
In the 26th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Empress Xiaozhuang died at the age of 75. At this time, Kangxi was already 34 years old, already an old politician and military expert, reigning for 61 years, the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history, and creating a great situation of Kangqian's prosperity.
After Xiaozhuang's death, he instructed Kangxi not to bury it with Emperor Taiji, and the Kangxi Emperor temporarily placed the coffin near the Xiaoling Tomb of the Shunzhi Emperor's burial place, and it was not officially buried until 37 years later.
In the 75 years of Guan Xiaozhuang's life, since the death of Emperor Taiji, she is like a top trader, her career is the people of the world, she is also the guardian of the blood line, taking the overall situation as the most important, carefully planning, fighting with various political enemies, fighting wits and courage, becoming a duty and mission.
As a woman, she went through the three dynasties of Emperor Taiji, Shunzhi, and Kangxi, and assisted the two emperors of Shunzhi Kangxi, she Taoguang yang obscure and resolute, gave full play to her political wisdom, turned the tide in the complex palace struggle, stabilized the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and made the Qing Dynasty smoothly move towards the prosperous era of Kangqian, it can be said that she contributed to the stability of the Jiangshan in the early Qing Dynasty.
In her life, she did not have the breath of her daughter brought by the wind and snow, and she embodied more of the style of a professional politician; she was like a primeval forest, the wind from all sides would disappear when it came to her, she was like a pouring ocean, and all the rivers and streams came here to accommodate her bosom...
