The legendary empress of the Qing Dynasty, with a child remarried Nurhaci, had three children in five years, and was killed by her own son

As we all know, before the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, called Houjin, the founder of Houjin was Nurhaci, when Nurhaci's concubine was Fucha Gundai, this Gongdai was the first Khan Concubine of Houjin (Note: Nurhachi originally died before the establishment of Houjin), as Nurhaci's former concubine, Gundai and Nurhachi originally with Tong Jiashi, did not get the title they deserved, but the descendants gave her an empress title: Empress Gongdai.

Gundai was a woman from the Jurchen Jianzhou Department, surnamed Fucha, whose father was the Jianzhou Right Guard Chieftain Mang se Tuo Zhu Hu, Mang Se Tuo Zhu Hu had five sons, these five sons were all sacrificed in the friction with the Ming army, Gun Dai was already married to the Ai Xin Jue Luo family and survived. The first husband of The Gun Dynasty was named Qi Zhun, and Qi Zhun died very early, just when Nurhaci had just lost his original partner Tong Jiashi, so according to the Manchurian custom of "brothers die brothers and wives and their sisters-in-law", Gundai took his child Aang Ara and remarried to Qi Zhun's cousin Nurhaci, the time was around 1585.

Although this Gundai was once a human wife, she was more colorful and understanding, so soon after remarrying Nurhaci, Gundai sat on the seat of a concubine. At that time, it was the difficult stage of Nurhaci's entrepreneurship, and it was Gundai who played the role of a virtuous helper, exempting Nurhaci from worries.

For example, in 1593, nine allied forces led by Yehebu attacked The Jurchens of Jianzhou, and it was Gundai who accompanied Nurhaci, who was confident of the war at that time, and fell asleep soundly, and Gundai, who was on the side, reminded her husband not to despise her opponents, which shows that Gundai is deeply trusted by Nurhaci.

In addition, Gundai bore Nurhaci three sons between 1587 and 1592, namely the fifth son Mang Gultai, the third daughter Mang Guji, and the tenth son Derg. However, what Gundai did not expect was that the arrival of a woman who gradually lost the favor of Nurhaci, a woman from Yehebu, surnamed Nara, named Menggu Zhezhe. This Meng gu zhezhe was the birth mother of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, Menggu Zhezhe died early, and a younger woman came, she was Abhay from the Urab, although she was young, she was a very scheming woman, and she looked like a national color, and she instantly fascinated Nurhaci, and Abhay also gave Nurhaci three wise sons, namely the twelfth son Azig, the fourteenth son Dolgun and the fifteenth son Dodo.

At this time, Gundai was no longer the trusted concubine, and the position of concubine had changed to Abhay, so what was the end of Gundai? In this regard, several different records appeared in the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Old Records record that The Gun Dynasty died of offense, and the Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty record that the Gun Dynasty was killed by his son Mang Guertai, of which the second theory was proposed by Emperor Taiji.

At that time, Mang Gurtai was reprimanded for disobeying Emperor Taiji, and Emperor Taiji told the fact that Mang Gurtai killed his mother, and after Gundai's death, he was initially buried near Hetuala, and later reburied to the Tokyo Mausoleum, and when the Nurhachi Fuku Mausoleum was completed, Gundai was buried in Fuling again. However, in the first year of Shunzhi, because Gundai had offended Taizu at the beginning, Dolgun ordered that Gundai be moved out of Fuling, and it is not known where it was buried.

It is worth mentioning that a hundred years after the death of the Gong Dynasty, the Fucha family produced an authentic Empress Xiaoxian of the Qing Dynasty, who was the original Empress Xiaoxian of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Empress Xiaoxian happened to belong to the same family as the Gun Dynasty, and belonged to the Same Shaji Fucha Clan.
