What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Huang Taiji is the founder of the Great Qing Dynasty, and his deeds in history are not only the founding of the Great Qing Dynasty, but also his love story with Hai Lanzhu. According to historical records, Hai Lan Zhu has gained the exclusive favor of Huang Taiji since marrying Huang Taiji, who regards other concubines in the harem as nothing and exclusively favors Hai Lan Zhu.
According to the portrait left by Hai Lan Zhu, the historical Hai Lan Zhu is actually an "ordinary person", at least from the perspective of modern people, Hai Lan Zhu is not so beautiful, but it is such a Hai Lan Zhu that makes the Emperor Taiji haunt the soul, and even after the death of Hai Lan Zhu, the Emperor Taiji is silent in grief and cannot extricate himself.
The love story about Huang Taiji and Hai Lan Zhu rose to another level after Hai Lan Zhu's death. After Hai Lanzhu died, Huang Taiji swore not to miss her again, but in the end, Huang Taiji still died because he missed Hai Lan Zhu. Let's take a look at the performance of Emperor Taiji after Hai Lanzhu's death.
According to historical records, Emperor Taiji's favorite concubine Hai Lanzhu died of illness in the sixth year of Chongde (1641 AD), when Huang Taiji was fighting on the front line, when he learned the news that Hai Lanzhu was seriously ill, Huang Taiji's first reaction was to put down the war and rush back to the capital (Shengjing) overnight to see the last side of Hai Lan Zhu. However, it was a great pity that even though Emperor Taiji was fast all the way, he still did not see the last side of Hai Lan Zhu, and Hai Lan Zhu died before Huang Tai Chi rushed back to the Shengjing Forbidden City.
There is such a record in the Records of Emperor Wen of the Qing Dynasty, when Emperor Taiji arrived at Hai Lanzhu's residence, Guanju Palace, he saw the dead Hai Lan Zhu, and two lines of hot tears could not help but flow down, he went forward to hug the dead Hai Lan Zhu, and whispered the name of Aifei in his mouth. However, even if the Emperor Taiji was so tender, Hai Lan Zhu could not be revived from the dead. Huang Taiji could only accept the reality of Hai Lanzhu's death.
After Hai Lanzhu's death, Emperor Taiji ordered a thick burial. Huang Taiji this person is actually very simple, he opposes luxury, so he asked for a thick burial of Hailan zhu only because the love was too deep, and he wanted to make the dead Hailan zhu walk more beautifully. After the burial of Hailan Zhu, Huang Taiji often paid tribute to Hai Lan Zhu, and even took the queen and the queen concubine to pay tribute to the dead Hai Lan Zhu, and every time he remembered the time with ai concubine, Huang Tai Chi always cried bitterly.
As a human monarch, Emperor Taiji actually had self-knowledge himself, and he also knew that it was wrong to miss a dead concubine in this way. The "Biography of the Concubines in the Qing History Manuscript" records the words of The Emperor Taiji: "Born to be a peaceful person, is it a woman?" The translated meaning is that Huang Taiji felt that he was born in response to heaven, how could he be overwhelmed by a woman? Moreover, Huang Taiji once said: "Even when his father Nurhaci died, he was not so sad, and now he is doing this for a woman, which is really undeserved", and vowed not to miss Hai lan zhu again.
However, Huang Taiji still couldn't help but miss Hai lan zhu, and even every time he hunted, huang tai chi would intentionally or unintentionally pass through hai lan zhu's grave, and every time huang tai chi would cry and weep. In the eighth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji died prematurely due to excessive thoughts about Hai Lanzhu, at the age of 52.
