Daoguang Emperor was the eighth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, speaking of which, he was also a strange emperor, at the beginning his name was Mianning, when he first ascended the throne, he was full of spirit, determined to learn from the Kangxi Emperor and the Yongzheng Emperor, and create a prosperous world again, but it was also from him that he signed the first treaty in history to lose power and humiliate the country, and in the next ten years, as an emperor of a country, he lived a good life.
He also devoted his life to thrift and thrift, leading the harem ministers to be frugal and beautiful, wearing patched clothes every day, but later he took great pains to create the most brilliant mausoleum in the history of the Qing Dynasty for himself, he had four empresses in his life, countless harem concubines, when people reached middle age, the emperor of a country, at the age of 50, he only had one son, and he kicked him to death, and the emperor with such a clean brain circuit Do you know why?
Before the Daoguang Emperor ascended the throne, it can be said that it was smooth sailing, and he was also the only person in the Qing Dynasty who inherited the unification with the eldest son. He was born in 1782, his father, the Jiaqing Emperor, was just an ordinary prince at that time, his mother was just a concubine Fujin, and he actually had an older brother above him, but he died early, so he became a veritable eldest son.
In 1791, when Mianning was only ten years old, he had already gone out hunting with his grandfather, and the harvest was very rich, and the Qianlong Emperor was very fond of this grandson, giving him a yellow coat and flower plume that were regarded as glory. Later, in 1796, the Jiaqing Emperor took the throne, and soon after he took the throne, he arranged the marriage of Mianning and personally married a woman for him.
This woman is the later Empress Xiaomucheng, the family lineage is very eye-catching, born in a famous and prestigious family, and was personally fingered by the Jiaqing Emperor as a marriage, married to Mianning, and became the first wife of Mianning, which can be described as very beautiful. Moreover, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, she is also relatively unique, because she is the only one who has been buried three times after her death.
Where her tomb is, the Daoguang Emperor must also be buried after his death, and the Daoguang Emperor changed the tomb site three times for her, which shows that the husband and wife are indeed deeply in love with the sea. In the thirteenth year of Jiaqing, that is, in 1808, the Daoguang Emperor and Empress Xiaomucheng were also married for thirteen years, but in the first month of this year, Empress Xiaomucheng died of illness.
The two have been married for more than ten years, and for Empress Xiaomucheng, it should be a happy and happy life, because Mianning is the future emperor, and she has been crowned Asong Fujin, and soon she will be an empress, and Mianning can be said to have never been crowned a concubine in more than ten years, which should be the happiest thing for a woman living in a feudal society.
But the only fly in the ointment is that for thirteen years, I have not conceived a child, Mianning is almost thirty years old, and there is no child at this time, which makes the Jiaqing Emperor, who wants to hold his grandson and feel the heavenly happiness of the Qianlong Emperor, very anxious, and he can't help but feel some dissatisfaction with this daughter-in-law who was personally selected, that is, Empress Xiaomucheng.
Thinking that she was a concubine, but she could not help the house to spread its branches, and also controlled that there were no concubines in the palace, at that time Mianning was almost thirty and standing, still a future crown prince, no child, that was already a big mistake in the feudal era, so the Jiaqing Emperor was quite dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, but when Empress Xiaomucheng was seriously ill, the Jiaqing Emperor still sent someone to heal her, but the person finally died.
Between the Daoguang Emperor and Empress Xiaomucheng, there is probably some love, otherwise there would not be only one wife in thirteen years, he is the eldest son of a concubine, thinking that other concubines in the palace can no longer give birth to children in front of their wives, so when Empress Xiaomucheng was alive, he had no children, but how long this love lasted, I am afraid that only he knew.
Not long after Empress Xiaomucheng died, Mianning's first child was born, or born by a small concubine, this concubine was still a small concubine in the Mianning mansion at that time, who brought tea and poured water, thinking that she could be a mother and a child, but I don't know that Mianning did not have much love for this child, and the Jiaqing Emperor was very fond of it, and even gave Mianning this concubine an identity.
Mianning did not like this child from the heart, and did not give this girl a reward, and casually gave the eldest son a name, Yiwei. However, at this time, the elderly Jiaqing Emperor was very fond of this newborn grandson, and not only named this young mane as Mianning's side Fujin, but also at the birthday banquet, he sealed Yiwei as Dorobele.
But at this time, the little baby and the side Fujin who was immersed in the mother's son did not know that in the next few decades, neither of them could get the love of the Daoguang Emperor, and even the Daoguang Emperor had some disgust for the mother and son. Because when the Daoguang Emperor ascended the throne, everyone around him was given a title, and it is reasonable to say that as the emperor's eldest son, Yi Wei should be rewarded
But what everyone did not expect was that only Yi Wei was still a Baylor title, and his mother was after all a child and was reluctantly named a concubine. In addition, in Daoguang for many years, there was an elder who went to visit Yiwei's family, but the Daoguang Emperor was actually angry because he did not ask for his consent to visit Yiwei, and the eldest son Yiwei did not get his father's love in his life.
In this way, under the intentional indifference and neglect of his biological father, Yiwei grew to more than twenty years old, which should be the moment of his turnaround, because the Daoguang Emperor, who was nearly half a hundred years old, only had three princes at this time, and the two second sons actually died one after another, so the Daoguang Emperor had to start paying attention to Yiwei at this time, and also cared about him for the first time.
However, Yi Wei grew up to be under the neglect of his father and the neglect of the people in the palace, and he grew up barbarically, becoming the eldest son of the emperor who was debauched, did whatever he wanted, and did not obey the discipline at all, and he did not have half of the honor and education of the prince. After all, the son did not teach, the father's fault, the Daoguang Emperor may also regret it a little at this time, because before this, he had not been able to discipline him well.
In the year of Daoguang, in 1831, from the majestic imperial palace, there was bad news that the eldest son of the emperor had died. The Daoguang Emperor and the Manchu ministers were both weeping, and the Daoguang Emperor was even in tears, and perhaps at this moment he truly realized how wrong it was to not have a good greeting for the eldest son, Yiwei, for many years, or even turn a blind eye to him.
The unexpected sudden death of Yi Wei is not recorded in the history, but some clues can be found in a memoir made by an old eunuch at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Originally, since there was no suitable heir to inherit the unification, the Daoguang Emperor could only focus on cultivating Yiwei, and also sent a minister with both moral integrity and ability to teach Yiwei to study.
Yi Wei was originally loose and habitual, this emphasis on him, but a kind of bondage, so when he went to the study, Yi Wei was absent-minded, this old minister was bitterly advised, and the words revealed some meaning of inheriting the unification, Yi Wei listened to it and understood, but he directly opened his mouth, if I become emperor, the first one will kill you first!
The old minister was naturally uneven, ran to the Daoguang Emperor to complain, the Daoguang Emperor was also angry, after calling people over, first split the head and cover his face with a few reprimands, and then couldn't help but kick a few times, just these few times, the kicked Yi Wei's soul went back to the west, the original kicks, just kicked his lower part, and could not be healed, just like this, Yi Wei's short life, hastily ended.
Daoguang Emperor no matter how much regret is useless, can only be on Yiwei's original humble title, in the follow-up, it is worth mentioning that after the death of the emperor's eldest son Yiwei, in the same year, two princes were born, in the next year or two, and several princes were born successively, so the Daoguang Emperor, who was nearly half a hundred years old, had a total of nine princes, and looking back at the life of the emperor's eldest son Yiwei, it can only be said that the creation of people.
