The marriage of the royal prince has a political purpose, and if the two wives can communicate with each other, it will be a very happy thing. In the centuries-old royal marriage of the Qing Dynasty, there is a love story of a pair of Bi people that is envisioned. Previously, with the popularity of "Yanxi Raiders", the world saw the love between Qianlong and Fucha.
In the real history, Qianlong also wrote a hundred poems to remember his beloved wife.
For example, "The Elegy of Empress Wuchen Daxing" tells about the deep feelings between Qianlong and Fucha for twenty-two years, and Qianlong's longing for Fucha.
"Twenty-two years of grace, thirteen years of internal rule. Suddenly dreaming of spring breeze, biased to the shore of the brigade. Saint Ci deeply remembers filial piety, and the palace pot is full of qinxian. Recite Guan Suishi, Zhu Qin has broken the string. Summer and winter nights, to the indulgence period. Half-generated eternal, when is it set at first sight? The cotton suit is set up in the air, and the blue drapery is still hanging. Sitting back in the middle of the mind, holding back tears and cherishing jiao'er. Sorrow and joy are shared, and greetings are not forgotten. Absolutely beautiful, the widow feels like a concubine. One woman was sad, and two men died early. Overwhelmed by the old, throwing pen and hurting! ”
When Qianlong was eighty years old, he felt deeply bored, even if he had the throne and a noble life. Without the Fucha clan by his side, being an emperor is also tasteless.
Qianlong and Fucha knew each other when they were young, and it can be said that they were two little guesses.
Wangjinu, the ancestor of the Fucha clan, has always followed the royal family and has established countless military feats during Nurhaci's unification of the northeast. His great-grandfather Hashtun served in the Ministry of Rites and was highly valued by Emperor Taiji and Shunzhi. Fu cha's grandfather, Mi Sihan, served as a parliamentary minister during the Kangxi dynasty, served as a Hubu Shangshu for seven years, and vigorously supported Kangxi's policy of withdrawing the domain, which was deeply valued by the Kangxi Emperor. Her father, Li Rongbao, was the fourth son of Mithhan, who served as the governor of Chahar, and both uncles were also important courtiers.
Qianlong, whose real name was Ai Xin Jue Luo Hongli, was the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty after the capital of Beijing. He reigned for sixty years, the longest-serving emperor in Chinese history and the longest-lived emperor in China. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, hongli, who was the prince of Heshuobao, married the Fucha clan. However, the Fucha clan, who came from a prestigious family, did not have any extravagant temperament in themselves, but was gentle and lovely, frugal and generous, which was very different from other concubines. At first, Hongli felt fresh, and later, he was completely attracted to the Fucha clan.
Hongli and Fucha have always known and loved each other, and have deep feelings, if Hongli is destined to be the emperor of a dynasty, then fucha is destined to be an empress of a dynasty. Two years later, Yongzheng gave the Changchun Immortal Hall in the Yuanmingyuan to the couple to live in. After the marriage, the two respected each other as guests, although Hongli then married more than ten concubines, but in his heart, he could only hold fucha alone.
As the saying goes, "no filial piety has three, no queen is greater", as the prince of the royal family, or the heir to the next throne, marrying a wife and having children is the primary task of Hongli, and it is a big thing he must do. As a result, in the heart of Hongli a few years ago, there was only one person in the Fucha clan, and marrying other concubines was only for the sake of prolonging the heirs.
However, the Fucha clan was not arrogant because of the favor of Hongli, on the contrary, the Fucha clan was not only able to get along with other concubines, but also treated the subordinates with courtesy.
Since ancient times, it was common for the emperor to like the new and dislike the old, but Qianlong had always had a deep affection for the Fucha clan. Whether he was in a high position or not, no matter how many concubines he had around him, he was always the same for the Fucha clan. In the face of the three thousand beautiful relatives of the harem, Qianlong could only sigh a "void", in his opinion, only the Empress Fucha clan is real, and the others are no different from "pink skeletons".
Once, Qianlong talked to Fu Cha about old customs outside Guanwai.
Qianlong mentioned: "In the period when the ancestors were just founded, the decoration of the clothes was sewn into threads with deer tail fluff and sewn into the cuffs, rather than finely embroidered with gold and silver thread as is done in the imperial palace today. After hearing this, Fu Cha clan knew qianlong's heart very well, so she specially sewed a flint bag with deer tail fluff into thread and gave it to Qianlong, in order to beg not to forget the hardships of the ancestors' entrepreneurship and the hard-won of the Jiangshan.
Qianlong and Fucha had four sons, and all but one princess died prematurely. Although the story is not perfect, Qianlong's love for the Fucha clan is still the same. Two of these three children were made crown princes by Qianlong, and although none of them were blessed to grow up, Qianlong's kindness to the children was a manifestation of his deep feelings for his mother.
After the death of Yong Lian, the eldest son of the Fucha clan, the diligent Qianlong quit the dynasty for five days and accompanied the Fucha clan. In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the emperor accompanied the empress dowager on his eastern tour, and on the way with him, Fucha suddenly fell seriously ill, and the pain of losing his son made Fucha, who was not in good health, more exhausted. However, Providence tricked people, even if Fu cha and Qianlong loved each other, she could not continue to enjoy Qianlong's favor.
When the convoy arrived in Jinan, Fuchashi fell ill.
At this time, the Fucha clan did not want Qianlong to worry about himself, so he urged the emperor to return to the dynasty as soon as possible. On the eighth day of March of the same year, Qianlong decided to return to the dynasty, and looking at his wife who was seriously ill, Qianlong knew that the limit of the Fucha clan was approaching, and his heart was naturally very uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, when chema first walked to Shandong, the Fucha clan died.
The loss of the Fucha clan was a fatal blow to Qianlong, and even qianlong did not ease the gods for half a year, and he changed from a king under benevolent courtesy to a restless emperor. It can be said that all this changed Qianlong's mind because of the departure of Fu Chashi. Without the Fucha clan, Qianlong was attached to the landscape, which triggered a series of stories of Qianlong descending to jiangnan.
Of course, there are different accounts of the cause of Empress Fucha's death in history:
It is reported that Yong Lian's death, the blow to the Fucha clan can be described as a thunderbolt on a sunny day. During his night dreaming, Fu Cha clan dreamed of Bixia Yuanjun, and he asked the emperor and empress to worship at the Bixia Shrine in Tai'an. Therefore, regardless of his safety, the Fucha clan wanted to go to Mount Tai to accumulate a little blessing for the son of Xian, so they rushed to the top of Mount Tai day and night.
Legend has it that mortals and immortals communicate through dreams, and that night, Qianlong and Fucha stayed at the Yunchao Palace, which is close to the ancestral hall, hoping to meet their son again in their dreams. However, when he was in the Yunchao Palace, Fucha suddenly fell ill, and some people speculated that this was a tragedy caused by the empress missing her son's rapid attack on the heart, and in early March, Qianlong ordered people to go down the mountain, and banshi returned to the dynasty.
Although Qianlong wanted to heal his beloved wife as soon as possible, what he did not expect was that ten days after the outbreak of the yunchao palace, the Fucha clan died in the world, only thirty-seven years old.
In addition, the Qianlong Emperor also raised the funeral specifications and personally wore a filial piety period for the empress to express his feelings for the empress. From the date of the decree, the civil and military officials of the provinces remove the red ribbon from their crowns, gather in the public office, weep for three days, and are not allowed to shave their heads for one hundred days, and stop marrying music within twenty-seven days of wearing filial piety; ordinary soldiers and civilians take off their crowns for seven days, during which they do not marry or have fun.
It is said that Qianlong's granting of titles to the Fucha family was even more than the usual system, and Fu Heng and Fu Kang'an were the few non-clan kings in the Qing Dynasty, and when fu Kang'an was "favored in his life, he also regained his former glory and won the title of a hundred officials." The Fucha clan was also the most prosperous family of foreign relatives in the Qing Dynasty, as described in the "Qing Palace Words": "Fourteen people of the Marquis of Lijitong, the foreign family Enze is ancient."
