Kangxi's mother, Tong Jia, was from a prominent family, and her father was Shaobao (少保), and Gushan Erzhen Tong Tulai (佟图rai) was born. Many readers may not know what is shaobao, gushan really? In fact, they are not official titles, but an official rank, equivalent to today's vice-state cadres. Tong Jia was made Empress Xiaokangzhang.
People who can be promoted to empress generally do not rely on appearance and mental function, and they are supported by large family forces behind them, and there is a taste of political marriage. The Tong family has produced two empresses, one is Kangxi's mother, the other is Kangxi's wife, and they are also the relationship between aunt and niece.
Kangxi's father-in-law, Tong Guowei, was known as the "Tong Half Dynasty", and its power was so great that it can be imagined. Tong Guowei's second son Long Keduo was reused by the later Yongzheng Emperor, and it is conceivable how much weight the Tong family had in the imperial court. The reason for this is that the Shunzhi Emperor did not like this little girl who entered the palace at the age of 13. Compared with Shunzhi's concubine Dong E, she was too willful and thin.
However, out of consideration for political pressure, the Shunzhi Emperor would still visit this little girl from time to time. We cannot imagine the things of ancient times with the thinking of modern people.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girl, in the rainy season of the flower season, the depths of her heart are full of liveliness and romance, this is a season of dreams, the girl whose thoughts are in the haze suddenly married into the Great Inner Deep Palace, not only to suffer from the strict palace system, but also to suffer from the harem three thousand beautiful ladies from time to time to compete for favors.
Moreover, her only man in the palace did not like her, and the routine skin kiss was like chewing wax. If it weren't for her deep family background, the Shunzhi Emperor might not have paid any attention to her. Maybe it's luck, maybe it's unlucky. When the young lady found out that she was pregnant with Shunji's child at the age of 14, many friends would ask why pregnancy was an unfortunate thing.
Because it was the palace, girls who often watched court dramas knew that getting pregnant in the harem was a very dangerous thing. Because there are countless eyes fixed on the child in your belly, for the sake of power and grace, the women of the harem will use all kinds of means to get rid of the unborn child, and the child's mother. Many women were killed because they were pregnant with the emperor's child, or designed to be beaten into the cold palace.
Lucky Dong Jiashi, not only was not framed for pregnancy, but gave birth to a baby boy for the Shunzhi Emperor, who was the later Kangxi. Which woman bore a son for the emperor was a very grand affair, and it involved the succession of the entire dynasty. The favored Concubine Dong was very jealous in her heart, so she repeatedly asked her for trouble.
It is said that girls from such a big family know that Mingzhe protects herself and lives a low-key person. Dong Jiashi is just the opposite, with a strong personality, and according to reason, he actually quarreled with Dong Efei, who no one dared to provoke, several times, which made Shunzhi, who had always favored Dong Efei, hate to snub her even more.
The court system of the Qing Dynasty also stipulated that children could not be raised by their own biological mothers, so that the innate advantages of mother and son conspiring to gain power were eliminated from an early age. This is also the reason why dong jia's relationship with Kangxi was not very close later.
After the death of the Shunzhi Emperor, the young Kangxi ascended to the throne of the Qing Dynasty with the support of empress dowager Xiaozhuang. The young emperor, who had almost died of smallpox, had no real power. The political core of the Qing Dynasty remained in the hands of Xiaozhuang and a group of ministers around Xiaozhuang.
According to secret texts, Empress Xiaozhuang, fearing that Kangxi's birth mother and family forces would penetrate the political core too much, used chronic poison to remove Kangxi's mother. The young and beautiful Dong Jia clan died in the imperial palace two years after Kangxi succeeded to the throne. As for Empress Xiaozhuang's denunciation of her as a fox charmer, it was only a historical rumor, because the death of Kangxi's mother itself was mysterious and reflected the political nature of the harem struggle at that time. What is the cause of sin? Since the Empress dowager wants to kill you, it is best to use the excuse of "charming the fox to confuse the Lord".
But then again, which woman in the harem is not "charming the lord"? Unable to confuse the emperor, the food and clothing for the second half of his life were gone.
Fortunately, Kangxi was born mother with a very good nickname, and her nicknames were: Xiao Kangci and Zhuang Yi Gonghui Wen Mu Duanjing Chongtianyu Shengzhang Empress.
Many people can't understand this large string of text, in fact, they don't need to understand it, they know that it is a good word to praise people. After her death, she was given such a long list of good words to flaunt her, and before she died, she was so unfortunate.
