How did the historical Ruyi die? After knowing the truth, I really felt worthless for her
In China's feudal society for more than two years, the status of women has been very low, men with three wives and four concubines are regarded as the norm, women want to remarry after the death of their husbands is not allowed in most cases, national laws are also to protect the status of men, as for women, it is only a tool for reproduction, about the status of women, the Sui and Tang dynasties are still relatively open, women's status is higher than other dynasties, since Cheng Zhu Lixue, Cun Tianli annihilation theory of human desire theory proposed to beat women's power into a trough, For example, li Qingzhao, a famous lyricist of the Song Dynasty, before suing her husband, whether right or wrong, she must first be tortured, and during the Ming and Qing dynasties, foot binding became the primary way to imprison women, even if she was the empress of a country, you would inevitably suffer injustice to women in the general environment.
The previous hit TV series "Ruyi Zhuan" received continuous praise, and the Successor of Qianlong, played by Zhou Xun, the Nala clan, filled the gap in history for us. Qianlong had three empresses in his lifetime, namely his wife Fucha clan, followed by the Nala clan, and the Jiaqing Emperor's biological mother Concubine Ling. Of the three queens, two received a "good death". Although the Fucha clan went early, but was remembered by the Qianlong Emperor for a lifetime, lingfei although born low, but still got the emperor's ten years of favor, her son Yongyan, also became the successor of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the later Jiaqing, only the successor of the Nala clan, born noble, also had a son, but finally was not abolished and abolished, the use of the degree in his later years is only a promised example, as an empress, he was not buried in Yuling, but buried with the noble concubine of the Chunhui Emperor, and also relegated to the side position, how can this not be lamented?
In the TV series, we see that Ruyi sincerely loves the emperor, and does not mind that there are other women around the emperor, does not seek a position, only wants to be born with the emperor and die in the same cave. The two once spent a very good time, but then for various reasons, such as the emperor in Yi's heart gradually changed, became unknown, such as Yi despair, exhausted all the love between the two, and finally did not reconcile with the emperor, just a person silently left, left a letter before death, just said that his son twelve brothers, did not mention the emperor, enough to see her inner despair. Ruyi is not willing to be buried with the emperor, and the emperor is no longer willing to disobey her will, only to obey, the explanation given to us in the TV series is like this, so how did the historical Ruyi die? After knowing the truth, I really felt worthless for her.
According to the information left by the "Qing History Draft", Qianlong was still very good at the beginning for this follow-up, and from the records, Qianlong gave No less than a lot of rewards to Empress Nala, and also had three children with her, two of whom died prematurely. After Empress Fucha's death, the throne could not be left idle, and Qianlong asked the empress dowager to make Concubine Xian empress, "Innala clan, this line of the Qing Palace." The side room blessed by the Imperial Examination. The position is comparable. Thus played the Mother of the Crown Princess. He is a noble concubine of the Imperial Household and a regent of the Sixth Palace. Qianlong's original words can prove that Empress Nala was not forced by the empress dowager to establish Her, but Qianlong requested that she be made empress, and on March 11, 1748, Empress Xiaoxian of the Hongli Calendar died of illness, and on the first day of July in the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748), the Jin dynasty wulanara clan was made the imperial concubine of the Sixth Palace, and since the Nala clan was on the throne of Kunning, the emperor, whether it was Jiangnan Patrol Luck, Shengjing Ancestor, or Mulan Qiuhuo, Imperial Tomb Exhibition, all ordered the empress to accompany her.
In the following ten years, the relationship between Empress Nala and Qianlong was very good, until the thirtieth year of Qianlong, Empress Nala accompanied Qianlong on the fourth southern tour, after this southern tour, the relationship between the empress dowager plummeted, and Empress Nala was almost abolished. However, it is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the southern tour, the two did not contradict each other, and even Qianlong celebrated the forty-eighth birthday of Empress Nala and sent her a lot of meals, and the strange thing is that in the evening, after the two quarreled, the queen never appeared again. After returning to the palace, Qianlong ordered the people to take back the four sealed treasures, namely one for the empress, one for the imperial concubine, one for the concubine, and one for the concubine, and cut off some of her servants, and by July, there were only two palace women left under Empress Nala, and according to the Qing palace system, only the lowest-ranking ones agreed to be equipped with two palace women.
Even after Empress Nala's death, Qianlong still refused to forgive her, saying only that the empress had cut her hair, which was greatly disrespectful and filial piety. However, this is only One Side of Qianlong's words, and we do not know what the facts are. In the Special Edition of the Nanjing Museum's "Entering the Yangxin Hall", Qianlong Zhu commented: "After following the three women who went, at the moment you interrogated fulongan about how they cut their hair on the eighteenth day, why didn't they pay attention and tell them to go out?" If they want to kill themselves, don't they pretend not to know? This Zhu Batch could prove that Qianlong was not present when Empress Nala cut her hair, and severely reprimanded the palace maid for not looking at the empress, and also speculated that "she usually hates me deeply", and also let the palace people observe the reaction of the empress when she received the order, which was enough to see that Qianlong did not know the reason for Empress Nala's haircut.
Empress Nala's fall out of favor came very suddenly, it was fine in the morning, and suddenly fell out of favor in the evening, which had to make people think about it, and at this time Qianlong has been constantly looking for flowers and asking for willows in Jiangnan, which is likely to be the fuse of Empress Nala's haircut, Queen Nala was not abolished before she was born, and the haircut was also initiated by herself, so it is not difficult to see that Queen Nala is desperate for Qianlong, cutting hair is a Manchu taboo, only the national mourner can cut her hair, and when Nala chooses to cut her hair, she may know her own end in the future. Ancient women attach great importance to their hair, "green silk" for them is more of an emotional sustenance, three thousand trouble silk is also called "love silk", broken hair is what we now call divorce meaning, in that feudal era, Nala Empress such a practice can be seen that she is a very characterful woman.
Empress Nala died of hair cutting, hair cutting came from the disappointment of Qianlong again and again, until despair, when she was completely desperate, she did not choose to swallow her anger, but chose to stand up and be herself, Empress Nala's funeral was said to be done according to the standards of the imperial concubine, but in fact it was only the standard of concubines, but even if she did not have "glory and favor infinity" after her death, she was in the context of the times, as the mother of a country, the resistance made was also shocking, how did Ruyi die in history? After knowing the truth, I really felt worthless for her!
