In people's impressions, Yongzheng can be said to be a doer, never making those bells and whistles, it is said that in the thirteen years of his reign, he has never been out of Beijing city, let alone to jiangnan, mountain villas, and play. Just such an emperor, of course, there is no sound and color dog and horse good, and the emperor Taiji, Shunzhi such an amorous breed, Yongzheng is difficult to overly spoil a woman, if you have to find one, it must be the Dunsu Emperor Noble Concubine.
The daughter of a famous man in a wrapped background
Emperor Dunsu's noble concubine Nian Shi, a person with a yellow banner in the Han army, the Kangxi Dynasty Inspector of Huguang, the Yongzheng Dynasty Taifu, and the daughter of the first class gong nian.
Speaking of the origin of this Nian clan, it was originally from the Ming Dynasty commander's family, and his ancestors were the family of senior military generals of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, belonging to the Zhengsanpin martial arts, and their ancestral home was Fengtian Guangning.
It is said that when Nian Zhonglong's grandfather Nian Zhonglong was alive, he was captured in the Battle of Songjin between the Ming army and the Qing army, and the clan was incorporated into the Han army and became the slaves of the Manchurians. However, in this year, Zhonglong was very competitive, and passed the examination for the twelve years of Shunzhi, so that the family got rid of the identity of the coat and changed into the Han army with a white flag, and zhonglong has been serving in other places since then.
In the nian family's father's old age, although he did not pass the examination for the jinshi, he became a pen-and-paste style, and in the thirty-first year of Kangxi, he actually achieved the Huguang Patrol and became a major member of the party, Kangxi forty-three years, and retired from the Huguang Patrol at the age of forty-three years.
In the forty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the fourth son of the Emperor, Yin Chan, was given the title of Prince of Yong, and Kangxi assigned the white banner to Yin Chan's subordinates, and in this way, the Nian family became a subordinate of prince Yong's palace.
It was also in the year that nian's family became a subordinate of prince Yong's mansion (Kangxi forty-eight years), Nian's brother Nian Qianyao was promoted to governor of Sichuan and became a feudal official, you must know that Nian Qianyao was not yet thirty years old at this time, it can be said that the future is bright, Kangxi seems to be deliberately cultivating the people of this Yong prince's palace.
The side of prince Yong's mansion is Fujin
Around the fiftieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the nian clan and the daughter of The Inspector of Huguang, Xiu Huguang, were given by Kangxi to Yin Chan the Prince of Yong as a side Fujin.
Generally speaking, the Concubine Fujin and Lateral Fujin of the Qing Dynasty Emperor will be designated by the Emperor, but there is another situation, if the Prince has a concubine or a concubine who has given birth to a son for the Prince, at this time the Emperor will ask the Emperor for permission to seal the concubine as a Side Fujin. Nian Shi was previously a subordinate of Prince Yong's palace, and Nian Shi's brother Nian Qianyao at that time was deeply valued by the Kangxi Emperor, so it was not excluded that Yin Chan asked Kangxi for advice and made Nian Shi his own side Fujin.
Moreover, judging from the treatment received by Nian Shi when she married into the Yong Dynasty Palace, Yin Chan seemed to attach great importance to this Han family daughter, and in the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi, Nian Shi gave birth to a daughter to Yin Chan, who was Yin Chan's fourth daughter and also Yin Chan's last daughter, but unfortunately, this daughter only lived for two years before dying.
In the fifty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Nian Qianyao's elder brother Nian Qianyao was promoted to viceroy of Sichuan, and three years later, he was promoted to viceroy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, becoming the most important member of the Western Province. During this period, the Nian clan also entered a period of great favor, and in the four years from the 59th year of the Kangxi Dynasty to the first year of the Yongzheng Dynasty, the Nian clan successively bore three sons for Yin Chan, namely the seventh son of the emperor Fuyi, the eighth son of the emperor Fuhui, and the prince Fupei.
However, perhaps because Nian's body was weak and sick, and her health had never been very good, none of the three sons she gave birth to survived. The seventh son of the Emperor, Fuyi, only lived for one year, and The Crown Prince Fupei was still born in a small birth, because it coincided with the Kangxi mourning period, and nian shi constantly attended various ceremonial activities and moved the tire, so that the seven-month small birth was stillborn. However, Yongzheng still counted Fu Pei into the Rank of Emperor, the ninth son of the Emperor.
As for the Emperor's eighth son, Fuhui (known as Fuhui in Zhu Batch), it is even more regrettable. It is said that Yongzheng was very fond of this son, not only sent him to Nian's side to raise him personally, but also often took nian's side after his death, so that some envoys speculated that Fuhui was Yongzheng's successor, and even Qianlong admitted that "brother Eight brothers are loved by the imperial examination".
However, this little prince did not live long, only lived for eight years, and died in the sixth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng was very sad and ordered to be buried with the princely ceremony. At that time, Hongli and Hongzhi were not even Beizi, and after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he deliberately posthumously honored this younger brother who was loved by his father as the Prince of Heshuohuai.
The only imperial concubine of the Yongzheng Dynasty
In February of the first year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng, who had just succeeded to the throne, made concubines, and Nian shi was given the title of noble concubine, which was the second in command of the harem after Empress Uranara in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the Nian clan, the Qi concubine Li clan, the Xi concubine Niu Hulu clan, the Mao concubine Song clan and the Yu concubine Geng clan were also enthroned.
It is said that this Qi concubine Li Shi, originally a concubine by Yin Chan's side, was two years older than Yin Chan, and was very favored in the early days, and later Li Shi became the side Fujin of the Yong Dynasty Palace, which was the same level as the Nian clan. However, from the perspective of seniority, the Li clan was much older than the Nian clan, but in the first year of the Yongzheng Dynasty, the Nian clan became a noble concubine, and the Li clan was only given the title of Qi concubine.
When Nian Shi was crowned as a noble concubine, Yongzheng also let Nian Shi enjoy the treatment of the princess and princess ordering women to celebrate. Later, when Qianlong also crowned Emperor Huixian as a noble concubine, he also quoted this regulation.
Nian Clan Noble Concubine Book:
"Rise to the throne, and praise the office of Xiang." Cooperate with Xuan Kun's teachings, and allow Shu Prudent's resources. Nie Kao Yi Zhang, style reverence order. Concubine Nian of the Zhi'er Clan, the Dusheng Ling Clan, Pi Fangsheng, endowed with gentle qualities, and held a dignified manner. Rin Zhen rules in Tu Shi, Ke Qin Ke Jian, Table Yi Fan yu Heng Huang, there are classics and rules. He once admired the emperor and empress dowager's edict and made baofeng'er a noble concubine. At that time, he was only respectful, ChengqingZe's Fang Xin, Yi Mao Rou Jia Yan Hong Yu Youyong. Respects. ”
In addition, Yongzheng also raised the status of the Nian family, so that more than one hundred and seventy members of the Nian family entered the Han army and set up the yellow flag, and the concubines who could enjoy this special honor of raising the flag were very rare, which showed the high status of the Nian family in Yongzheng's heart.
However, this Nian clan has always been weak and sickly, simply a court version of Lin Daiyu, coupled with the premature death of many children, brought her a mental blow, by the third year of Yongzheng, Nian Clan was already accumulated and difficult to return.
In November of the third year of Yongzheng, Nian's illness coincided with the third anniversary of Kangxi's death, and Yongzheng needed to worship in Tanglin, so Nian had to stay in the Yuanmingyuan. After Yongzheng returned to the Capital Division, he immediately rushed to the Yuanmingyuan and accompanied Nian Shi for several days in a row, without handling official business.
On November 15 of the third year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng decreed that Nian Shijin be made an imperial concubine, which also made Nian Shi the only concubine in the Yongzheng Dynasty who had the title of noble concubine and imperial concubine. However, Yongzheng's canonization with the nature of Chong Xi did not save Aifei's life, and Nian Shi died in the Yuanmingyuan on the eighth day of the canonization of the imperial concubine, and the age was estimated to be less than thirty years old.
Yongzheng Jin fengnian clan for the imperial concubines:
"Noble Concubine Nian, gentle in nature, and cautious in her manners. When he was in the mansion, he was respectful and cautious in front of the empress, and was generous and peaceful under his command. Emperor Kao Jiaqi was dignified and noble and was made a princess concubine. After she ascended the throne, the noble concubines were in the imperial examination, and the imperial concubines were all dedicated to major events, and they did their best to perform ceremonies, and they could really praise the internal affairs. Concubine Su was sick and weak, and for three years she had been handling the machine business, and she did not hesitate to pay attention to the diagnosis and treatment, and all the prescription drugs were paid to the doctors, so that the delay was long. Now that it is getting heavier and heavier, my heart is deeply missed. The noble concubine was crowned as an imperial concubine, and if something happened, all the etiquette was performed according to the imperial concubine. ”
The death of Nian Shi made Yongzheng very sad, and Yongzheng ordered him to quit the dynasty for five days and held a solemn funeral for Nian Shi, during which Yongzheng's unhappiness was all reflected. For example, Yongzheng asked seven princes of the near branch to wear filial piety for the Nian clan, and Prince Cheng, Yin Zhituo, did not arrive, and was reprimanded by Yongzheng, because of the sloppy etiquette, Yongzheng also twice scolded the Prince of Lian, Yin Yu, and the officials of various ministries.
In addition, Yongzheng's favor for the Nian family is also reflected in his attitude towards the Nian family.
In the third year of Yongzheng, Nian's brother Nian Qianyao was convicted and sent to prison, because Nian's illness was serious, Yongzheng deliberately suspended the treatment of Nian Qianyao, and only a month after Nian's death, Nian Qianyao was punished. However, Yongzheng also only targeted Nian Qianyao alone, and did not deal with the other personnel of the Nian clan.
"Nian Qianyao's rebellious nature is well known. The teachings of his father and brother not only did not obey, but always regarded them as grass and mustard, and the young and the young were loyal and peaceful, and they were dismissed from their posts and exonerated. ”
For example, when Nian Qianyao made military merits, Yongzheng made Nian Xiangling a first-class duke and gave him a peacock plume, and after Nian Qianyao was convicted, all these things were retained, and I believe that to a certain extent, it was also based on the face of The Noble Concubine of The Dunsu Emperor.
In the second year of Qianlong, the golden coffin of The Noble Concubine of the Dunsu Emperor was buried in the Tailing Underground Palace along with Yongzheng and Empress Xiaojingxian, and as a result, the Noble Concubine of the Dunsu Emperor became the only concubine who could be buried with Yongzheng.
Zichen said:
It has to be said that the Noble Concubine of The Dunsu Emperor had a full role in the Yongzheng Harem, although she only stayed in the harem of the Qing Dynasty for four years, she became the favorite in Yongzheng's heart, and was buried with Yongzheng after her death. As for the imperfections, there are two things, the first is her red face and thin life, and the second is the premature death of the children she gave birth to.
