In July 1928, the territory of Zunhua City, Hebei Province, "boomed" with a loud bang. After that, the news spread in the streets and alleys that the warlord Sun Dianying had blown up the Yuling and Cixi mausoleums, and Sun Dianying's purpose was only to seek wealth, and he looted the treasures in the tomb and left with a big wave.
However, at this time, Puyi in Tianjin could not sit still, because Yuling was the mausoleum of his ancestor Qianlong Emperor, so he quickly asked someone to come with him to Zunhua to clean up the tomb of his ancestors, and when cleaning Yuling, Puyi and his party were surprised to find a well-preserved ancient corpse, which was identified.
What they found at that time was the Empress Xiaoyi Chun during the Qianlong period, that is, the famous "Ling Concubine", we have heard a lot of lingfei's deeds, the most interesting of which is that she just gave birth to a child, Qianlong also had to fortunately visit her, and then lingfei died soon after, and now that lingfei's body has been found, can her specific cause of death be revealed?
Wei Jia, who had just entered the imperial palace
Concubine Ling was a Wei Jia clan Manchurian Zheng Yellow Banner wrapped, her family in the Qing Dynasty belonged to the middle bureaucracy, Wei Jia's grandfather Wu Shiyi served as an officer, the highest was the then fat difference of the internal affairs of the general manager, and her mother and grandmother even also served as female officials, in the Qing Dynasty, this dynasty that did not attach much importance to women's education, such a large family still attached great importance to the education of their children, so Wei Jia's education level was not low, and it was very intelligent and of good character. Such an excellent daughter was a role model for the children of many bureaucratic families at that time.
There is a legend that Ling Concubine was a palace maid at the beginning of entering the palace, which is actually completely credible, because the children of this kind of family cannot become palace women, according to historical records, Wei Jia entered the palace through the draft, because at that time, the emperor was responsible for the internal affairs office, and Wei Jia's family was the head of the internal affairs office, so it was very reasonable for her to become the emperor's concubine through this channel.
After entering the palace, Wei Jiashi won the favor of the Qianlong Emperor with her outstanding beauty and talent, which can be seen from her title, Lingfei "Ling" means "intelligent" in Manchu, so this is enough to see Qianlong's love for her, so what exactly does Lingfei rely on to tie qianlong's playboy heart?
What did Concubine Ling rely on to win Qianlong's favor?
First of all, in terms of getting along with Qianlong, most of the concubines in the palace were very cautious, because there were too many rules, and these concubines had to serve the emperor according to the rules, which did not seem to be a big problem, but in the long run, it would also cause the emperor to have aesthetic fatigue.
Therefore, Concubine Ling chose to take a different path, she saved a lot of red tape for Qianlong, and in many ways she behaved very bluntly, sometimes even a little dazed, but sometimes made a small character, which made Qianlong's eyes light up, thinking that this woman was very interesting, and slowly she became more and more pampered. It's like a person who is used to eating mountain and sea food will want to eat some wild game from time to time.
Another point is that Concubine Ling is also very knowledgeable, we know that Qianlong this person likes to be vassal and elegant, and thinks that her literary attainments are very high, but Concubine Ling has also read many books of the Hundred Sons and Hundreds of Families since she was a child, so she and Qianlong can fully understand the meaning of the other party when talking, so Qianlong frequently turned over Lingfei's brand.
Of course, these are far from enough, the most important figure in the harem is to give the royal heirs, in this regard, Concubine Ling can be said to have a great credit, she once gave birth to six children for Qianlong in ten years, including the later Jiaqing Emperor, Ai Xinjue Luo Yongyan.
This is the strength of Ling Concubine, she knows that her superiority in other aspects is not forever, sooner or later there will be people younger and more beautiful than themselves, interesting and learned people will still have, but only the heirs they add to the royal family are their own, this others can not be robbed in any way, so every time after giving birth to a child, Qianlong is anxious to spoil Ling Concubine, we know that giving birth to children has an impact on women's bodies, and now there are not a few mothers who fall ill because of giving birth to children. Not to mention the ancient times, and there were so many children, each time at a short interval, so this also brought hidden dangers to Lingfei's body.
The death of concubine and the aftermath
Just as the so-called "sky has unpredictable storms", in the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong, Lingfei fell ill after accompanying Qianlong to Rehe to return to the capital, so Qianlong let Lingfei recuperate in the Yangxin Hall, which was the cold winter waxing moon, and as a result, just after the End of the Year, Lingfei passed away in the first month. The Qianlong Emperor gave Lingfei the nickname "Lingyi", which made us say that it meant wisdom, and Yi in Manchu meant beauty, so we can see that Qianlong was very sad about Lingfei's death.
What puzzled later generations was what kind of illness Ling Concubine had, which was not recorded in the history books. So there is a lot of speculation.
It was not until more than a hundred years later, as described at the beginning of this article, after Sun Dianying blew up Yuling, that the matter finally came to a conclusion.
Later, after experts studied the body of Concubine Ling in Yuling, the mystery of the cause of Concubine Ling's death was finally revealed. It turned out that due to the impact of giving birth to a child on her own body, and soon after giving birth to a child, Lingfei had to give the Qianlong Emperor a bed, which made Lingfei's body very weak.
Slowly I started to fall asleep and had palpitations and palpitations, which was a bit like the nervous weakness we are talking about now. At that time, people did not know that the doctor could not alleviate Lingfei's condition after treatment, so he let Lingfei take cinnabar, cinnabar does have a calming effect, but it itself contains severe poison, long-term use will cause great harm to the human body, and experts found a large amount of cinnabar in Lingfei's body.
Therefore, when Lingfei returned from Rehe and fell ill, it should be the reaction after cinnabar poisoning, but unfortunately, people at that time did not know that a living life disappeared.
epilogue
The Qianlong Emperor's affair was unanimously recognized, and what was rare was his affection for Lingfei, who had already decided to let Yongyan succeed him before Lingfei died, and even after Lingfei's death, he did not change his mind. But in the end, he did not understand that a long stream of thin water could maintain a sense of freshness of love.
Finally, more than a hundred years later, his grave was blasted open by a deceitful warlord with a cannon, and the person who was once the son of heaven finally asked his descendants to collect his body again.
