In the old era of feudal society, the two words of the emperor represented the highest power, how people must obey the emperor's arrangement, and another high status is the empress, her mother Yi Tianxia is the model of all women at that time, in charge of the harem beauty three thousand, but everyone do not ignore the existence of another figure, her status is higher than the emperor and the empress, even if the emperor sees her, he must give three points, which is the queen of heaven, in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor must obey and filial piety to his mother, This is also a traditional Chinese virtue, and if the mother is still alive, the real owner of the palace should be her.
I think everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in history, and our understanding of it is also the most profound. During the 276 years, and then the most famous in the Qing Dynasty were Cixi and Empress Xiaozhuang. But the two queens did different things. Empress Xiaozhuang made a great contribution to the continuation of the Qing Dynasty. Xiaozhuang's contribution to her son-in-law becoming one of the greatest emperors in history is indispensable, and all her stories are sung by later generations, but the other empress dowager Cixi did it. But hastened the demise of the Qing Dynasty, extravagant and wasteful, coveting pleasures, regardless of the lives of the people, fainting and incompetent, and being scolded by the queens, although these two empresses have made pioneering moves that shocked the world, but in history there is also an empress dowager who reigned for the longest time, Empress Xiaohuizhang, she is the youngest empress dowager since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and the time of the Tongzhi harem is as long as 57 years.
She was born in a noble family in Mongolia, the family status is also very prominent, but also Xiaozhuang's niece, when she was 13 years old, she was arranged by Xiaozhuang to marry Emperor Shun, and became the empress dowager in the following year, but the Shunzhi Emperor did not like her, Shunzhi only had Dong Efei in his heart at that time, but Dong Efei did not leave a son and a half daughter for Shunzhi.
According to historical records, Shunzhi did not like the marriage arranged by his grandmother Xiaozhuang for himself, and he was also very annoying to these women, since Xiao Huizhang became empress Shunzhi has always disliked her, and also had the idea of deposing her empress, thanks to the fact that Empress Xiaozhuang stood up at that time to keep the throne of Empress Xiaohuizhang.
Later, Shunzhiye died, and Empress Xiaozhuang put her grandson Kangxi, who was only 8 years old, on the emperor's throne, and Kangxi's biological mother died very early, so that Xiaohuizhang always took Kangxi with him and carefully took care of him, taught him the principle of living in the world, and after Kangxi grew up, she also crowned Empress Xiaohuizhang as "Empress Renxian".
