Qianlong is the longest-lived emperor in Chinese history, he lived to be 89 years old, and until the age of 88 he was still marrying his daughter-in-law, 88-year-old Qianlong also married two fourteen or five-year-old girls as concubines in this year, it can be said that Qianlong really lived to marry old.
Qianlong's harem concubines were as high as 43 people, but because Qianlong's life expectancy was very long, many of his concubines did not live him, but at the time of Qianlong's death, there were still 9 concubines alive, of course, including two young girls married by Qianlong at the age of 88, if you leave them both aside, there are 7 concubines who have been married to Qianlong for many years.
According to the rules of the Qing Palace, after the death of the former emperor, the concubines of the former emperor had two ways to choose, one was that they had already given birth to a prince, or that they had raised a prince, that is, an adopted son, and could move out of the palace to live with their own sons or adopted sons, and they would serve the elderly; the other was that if they did not have a prince, they had to stay in the Forbidden City and serve the current emperor.
At the time of Qianlong's death, most of his surviving concubines were those who had not given birth to or raised princes, so they all remained in the palace and were raised by Qianlong's successor, Jiaqing. Let's talk about how Jiaqing is to these mothers.
There are two people at the noble concubine level
Qianlong's imperial concubines were basically posthumously sealed, so when he died, there was no imperial concubine at all, and when he died, there was only one noble concubine, that is, the Ying Guifei Balin clan was alive, and after Qianlong's death, Jiaqing also named a noble concubine Chen Shi as a noble concubine, so after Qianlong's death, there were two noble concubines.
First of all, let's talk about the Ying Guifei Balin clan, she is from the Mongolian ethnic group, the family belongs to the Mongolian Eight Banners, the specific year of the Balin clan entering the palace to serve Qianlong has been unverifiable, but according to the current historical records, the Balin clan has been jinfeng in the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748) has been jinfeng as changzai, Jinfeng is often jin after nearly three months and then jin as a nobleman, and then in the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong (1759) was promoted to yingfei, it can be seen that Qianlong was still more fond of her at first.
However, it may be that later the Bahrain clan was old and fading, and Qianlong did not promote her again, until the third year of Jiaqing (1798) a year before Qianlong's death, Qianlong, who was already the Emperor Taishang, ordered that the Bahrain clan, who was already over seventy years old, be promoted to Ying Guifei, and she was also the only noble concubine in the Qianlong harem at that time.
After Qianlong's death, the Balin clan received good treatment from Jiaqing, mainly because the Balin clan was the adoptive mother of Jiaqing's mother's younger brother and youngest brother, Prince Yongxuan of Qing. Both Jiaqing and Yongxuan were born to Qianlong's favorite concubine, the later Empress Xiaoyi chun Wei Jiashi, but Wei Jia died when the brothers were young, and Wei Jiashi was only 9 years old when he died, so Qianlong handed Yongxuan over to the Baring clan to raise.
After Qianlong's death, Yongxuan was made the King of Qingjun by Jiaqing Jin, and Jiaqing also gave the mansion of the corrupt official and Yan to Yongxuan, according to the rules of the Qing Palace, the Balin clan could completely move out of the palace after Qianlong's death to live with his adopted son Yongxuan, and Yongxuan was also fully qualified to serve his adoptive mother, The Elder Ofe, but Jiaqing nian was kind to his brother Yongxuan's nurturing grace in the Balin clan, and he did not want to add pension burden to his younger brother Yongxuan, so he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of serving his adoptive mother, Yongxuan, on behalf of his younger brother Yongxuan.
As a result, the Balin clan did not move out of the palace, and also received good treatment from Jiaqing. However, the Balin clan did not enjoy the good fortune for too long, and after Jiaqing's death in Qianlong in the fifth year (1800) more than a year later, the Balin clan also died of old age at the age of 70.
The concubine Chen was also the most honored and respected of Qianlong's concubines, and the Chen family was born into a family of ordinary Han intellectuals. For this reason, coupled with the fact that her own family is not a famous and prestigious family, although the Chen family is only 5 years younger than Qianlong and is one of the early concubines of Qianlong before he succeeded to the throne, she was not favored when Qianlong was alive, and she did not have a single child for more than 70 years after marrying Qianlong.
Qianlong once raised the flag to the Noble Concubine Su clan of the Chunhui Emperor and the Lu family of the Qinggong Emperor,who were also from the Han family, but the Chen family was not raised, which shows that Qianlong did not love the Chen clan.
Moreover, the promotion of Chen's position in the Qianlong harem was very difficult, after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, she was named Chen Guiren as a concubine of the hidden residence, and later in the fourteenth year of Qianlong (1749) she was promoted to a concubine, and then she stayed at the level of concubine for more than forty years, until the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong (1794) Qianlong collectively promoted the concubines who were still alive in the harem, and then promoted her to be a concubine. From then until Qianlong's death, Chen was not promoted again.
However, it is not necessary to say that Qianlong did not like the Chen clan, because he had handed over Jiaqing, who had been secretly made the crown prince by himself, to the Chen clan for a period of time, and Jiaqing was raised by Qianlong by the Qinggui concubine Lu Shi from childhood, but the Lu clan later died early, so Qianlong handed Jiaqing over to the Chen clan for a period of time until the big wedding. Therefore, Chen Shi is also Jiaqing's adoptive mother, although the time to raise him is not long, but Jiaqing is also very grateful for Chen's kindness to himself.
So it seems that Qianlong did not ignore the Chen family, he considered that after his future death, the Chen family came from a humble origin, the status in the harem was not high, and did not have their own children, it would certainly be very miserable, so Qianlong specially let her raise crown prince Jiaqing for a while, and also for her to have a way out after she was old.
Therefore, after Qianlong's death, Jiaqing treated Chen with great respect, and specially promoted her to imperial concubine, which was extremely filial to her, while another noble concubine, Balinshi, died shortly after Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, in fact, at that time, the status of Chen was the most respected in the harem, and she received almost the same courtesy as the empress.
Moreover, the Chen clan was also very blessed, extremely long-lived, in the twelfth year of Jiaqing (1807) she died at the age of 92, she was the longest-lived concubine in the Qianlong harem, and the third longest-lived concubine in the history of the Qing Dynasty, second only to the 97-year-old Kangxi Concubine and the 96-year-old Yongzheng Concubine.
There are three concubines
At the time of Qianlong's death, there were three concubines of the rank of Concubine Wang, Concubine Chen of Fang, and Concubine Fucha of Jin.
First of all, let's talk about Princess Wang, she is 35 years younger than Qianlong, and she is more loved by Qianlong, but Qianlong loves not her, but the youngest daughter she gave birth to Qianlong, Princess Gulun and Princess Xiaoxiao, because Qianlong loves Princess Xiao very much, and even her mother Wang clan is favored, others are mothers and sons, and Wang is a mother and a daughter.
Wang was only permanent when he first entered the palace, and was later given the title of concubine by Jin, until after the birth of Princess Hexiao, Qianlong was promoted to concubine under great joy. Princess Hexiao was deeply loved by Qianlong, who once said that if she was a boy, she would definitely pass the throne to her. And Qianlong was also because of his love for Princess Hexiao, he often went to visit Princess Hexiao, so he took it with him to find Wang's attendant, and she gradually became favored.
But in fact, Qianlong did not like the Wang clan at all, because her character was not very good, in the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), the Wang clan once beat a palace maid to death, which made Qianlong very angry, Qianlong was angry, and Qianlong demoted her from a concubine to a concubine, and deprived her of the right to raise and filial piety, and also let her family pay a huge amount of money to compensate the family of the victimized palace girl.
In order to calm down the bad public opinion brought about by this incident of beating the palace maid to death, Qianlong specially promulgated a holy decree to announce to the world that from now on all princes and nobles who wantonly abuse or beat their subordinates will be severely punished.
After Princess Hexiao was not raised by the Wang clan, she cried and shouted all day to find her mother, and Qianlong had to re-promote the Wang clan to concubine in order to be distressed for her daughter, and returned the princess to her for raising.
But then it happened that Concubine Mandou was using her status as a foreign relative to occupy the murder of the people's daughters, and Qianlong was even more disgusted with the Concubine family, and he ordered that Concubine Mandou be killed directly, and Qianlong was even more disgusted with the Wang family, if it were not for Princess Hexiao, I am afraid that the Wang clan would have been relegated to the cold palace by Qianlong long ago.
Princess Hexiao was later promised by Qianlong to marry the corrupt official and the son of Fengsheng Yinde, and when the two were married, Qianlong forbade the two to perform the ritual of bowing to their parents to the Wang family, which shows that Qianlong was extremely disgusted with the Wang clan, and if it were not for the face of Princess Hexiao, it is estimated that the Wang clan would have been finished a long time ago.
However, although Princess Hexiao was raised by the Wang clan, she was not as generous and kind as the Wang clan, so not only Qianlong loved her very much, but even her brother Jiaqing also loved her very much, Jiaqing also left the whole corpse of Hezhen because of her, so Jiaqing looked at the face of her sister and Princess Xiao after succeeding to the throne, and her mother Wang shi was also good, Jiaqing died in the eleventh year (1806) at the age of 61, which is also considered to be the end of life.
Fangfei Chen was a concubine who did not have a strong sense of existence in the Qianlong harem, she was promoted to a nobleman very early, but she was not promoted again until qianlong fifty-nine years when Qianlong collectively promoted her to concubine, Qianlong was promoted to fang concubine before her death, and then she was not promoted again until the Jiaqing period, it can be said that Jiaqing was very general to her, and Jiaqing died in the sixth year (1801) at the age of 52, if she could live longer, perhaps jiaqing could still be kinder to her. But who made her not only have a strong sense of existence, but also did not live long.
Jin Concubine Fuchashi is one of the two maiden concubines of Qianlong who was mentioned at the beginning a year before his death at the age of 88, and the fourteen- and fifteen-year-old Fucha clan married the 88-year-old Qianlong who was enough to be his grandfather, and Qianlong died the next year, and he began to be widowed before the age of 20.
In fact, the Fucha clan is Qianlong's niece and granddaughter in terms of generational division, her family is the family of Qianlong's wife Empress Fucha, and she is the niece and nephew of Empress Fucha, so qianlong is her aunt and grandfather from the generation of the wife, and it is this kind of generational division that she still became Qianlong's concubine.
Fucha's initial entry into the palace to become a show girl was originally recommended to Jiaqing as a concubine by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Jiaqing did not include Fucha's clan in the harem for some reason, but sent her to serve her father Qianlong, and it is estimated that the 88-year-old Qianlong probably did not have the energy to spoil her, so she was a widow for life.
After Qianlong's death, Jiaqing was not very good to the Fucha clan, she only obtained the status of concubine when she entered the palace because of her noble family origin, and Jiaqing did not promote her rank until Jiaqing died, Daoguang succeeded to the throne, when the Fucha clan was already the only surviving Qianlong concubine, so Daoguang, who was about the same age as her, named her imperial concubine.
Daoguang three years (1823) Fu Cha clan died, the history books do not record her age at the time of her death, it is estimated that she died when she was about 40 years old, it can be said that she was red face and thin life, the girl married to the dying Qianlong, a lifetime of empty house.
There is one person at the concubine level
When Qianlong died, there was only one concubine of the Rank of Concubine Lin, she was from a Han chinese background, and her sense of existence in the Qianlong harem was very poor, and she was also an early concubine in the early days of Qianlong's succession, but she always served Qianlong as a nobleman, and only when the palace concubines were collectively promoted fifty-nine years later, she was promoted to the title of Gong Concubine.
The Lin clan may have had a bad relationship with Jiaqing before, coupled with the low status of the mother's family, so after Qianlong's death, Jiaqing was very general to her, and did not give her promotion treatment, Jiaqing ten years (1805) she died at the age of 73.
There are three nobles in the noble level
In the Qing Dynasty's court concubine system, nobleman, Chang Zai, and Promise were the three lowest ranks, and people of this level were not eligible for imperial clothes and imperial crowns, and Qianlong often died in the two lowest levels of he promised that there were no one anymore, only at the level of nobleman there were three people, namely the Egui people Xilin Jue Luoshi, the Bai guiren Bai clan, and the Shou gui who did not record their surnames in history.
The Egui people Xi lin jue Luo family is relatively noble, she is the niece of Yongzheng left to Qianlong before his death, the minister of the university orertai, she entered the palace in the early qianlong to become a permanent presence, but Qianlong did not like her, she entered the palace for more than 50 years is only a permanent identity, until Qianlong sixty years (1795) is more than 60 years old she was promoted to a nobleman.
The reason why Qianlong did not like Xilin Jue Luoshi was because of her family origin, although Ortai was a heavy minister in the Yongzheng period, deeply trusted and respected by Yongzheng, but Qianlong was very disgusted with Ortai, mainly because after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Ortai and another Gu Ming chancellor who accepted Yongzheng's dying life, Zhang Tingyu, the two of them befriended party henchmen in the early Qianlong period, forming the Zhang E'e party dispute in the early Qianlong period.
Qianlong hated party strife the most in his life, and after Ortai's death, his family and henchmen were all rectified by Qianlong, and the daughter of the elderly daughter of Xilin Jueluo's father, Zhejiang Inspector Ele Shun, married the emperor, and wantonly amassed wealth in Zhejiang and extorted salt merchants from the two rivers.
Therefore, Xi Lin Jue Luoshi was snubbed by Qianlong from then on, and Qianlong rarely favored her, and almost never saw her promoted. However, she had a close relationship with the Wan Guifei Chen clan in the harem, the two were sisters, when Jiaqing was raised by the Chen clan, Xi Lin Jue Luo Shi often went to find the Chen clan, and it may be better for Jiaqing during this period, wan Guifei Chen Clan died when Xi Lin Jue Luo Clan was very sad, she has been for the Chen clan to be buried until the mausoleum before returning to the palace.
Therefore, Jiaqingnian was very good to her in terms of the close relationship between Xilin Jue Luoshi and the Chen clan, Jiaqing thirteen years (1808) Xilin Jue Luoshi died at the age of 76, Jiaqing specially ordered to bury Xilin Jue Luoshi with a concubine, which shows that Jiaqing treated Xilin Jue Luoshi quite well.
Bai Guiren Baishi was one of the two sisters of the Two Rivers Salt Merchants who were presented to Qianlong during the Qianlong Tour of Jiangnan, her sister was a concubine who was very favored by Qianlong, the Bai sisters themselves came from a wealthy family of Han in Jiangnan, and their father Bai Shicai was originally a merchant, just when Qianlong was traveling to Jiangnan, Jiangnan officials and salt merchants wanted to curry favor with Qianlong to offer him beautiful women, and Bai Shicai was sacrificed two daughters to Qianlong by salt merchants and local officials through their relationship with salt merchants.
Bai's sister was more favored by Qianlong, and after being favored by Qianlong, Qianlong directly carried all the Bai family from Han people without flags to the Zhenghuangqi Han Army, and the fathers and brothers of the Bai sisters enjoyed the aristocratic treatment in the Zhenghuangqi Han army.
However, Bai Guiren was not as favored by Qianlong as her sister Yi Concubine, she was always present when she entered the palace, and stayed in the position of Chang Zai for forty-six years, and it was only when Qianlong was promoted to the rank of concubine in the fifty-ninth year that she was promoted to the rank of concubine.
In the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), Bai Guiren died at the age of 73, and judging from the abundant funerary goods that Jiaqing gave her after her death, it can be said that Jiaqing was still quite good to her.
In the end, this unknown Shougui was actually another young girl who was accepted as a concubine of Qianlong with the Jin concubine Fucha clan at the age of 88, she was widowed after less than a year in the palace like fucha, and since then she has lived with Qianlong, who are still alive in their seventies and eighties, such a life has to be said to be extremely tragic, so she died early in the fourteenth year of Jiaqing (1809), and it is estimated that when she died, she was about twenty-four or five years old, it can be said that her life was very tragic.
Write at the end
From all this, it can be seen that Jiaqing's placement and treatment of these concubines who were still alive in Qianlong after Qianlong's death was entirely based on the closeness and proximity of jiaqing's personal relationship.
Jiaqing treated the best of all, the Wan Guifei Chen clan and the Ying Guifei Balin clan, after all, the two had a deep relationship with Jiaqing and had a good relationship, so they were treated kindly. But in general, Jiaqing is still okay with other mothers.
But the saddest thing is that Qianlong's 88-year-old life was the last fourteen or fifteen-year-old Jin concubine Fucha and Shou Guiren, they both married Qianlong less than a year, Qianlong died, opened a widow's life, it can be said that life was basically destroyed, I have to say that Qianlong is really a sinner!
