Hello everyone, today is another sunny day, I don't know how you feel today? Let's take a look at the protagonist we want to talk to you about today. What happened to everyone? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.
Almost scrapped
Empress Xiaohuizhang, also known as Borjit, was her grandfather Chakhan, the son of Prince Zaisang of Zhong, who was related to Wu Keshan the Prince of Zhuoliktu, Manzhu Xili the Prince of Dahan Batulu, and Empress Xiaozhuangwen. Empress Xiaohuizhang's father was Qiu'erji, who was initially made the Duke of Horqin Andean, and later promoted to the title of Belle.
Because Empress Xiaohuizhang was the niece of Empress Xiaozhuang, because of this relationship, she entered the palace at the age of 13 and was crowned empress before the age of 14. But the Shunzhi Emperor did not like this empress, he liked to be Concubine Dong. Empress Xiaohui did not complain, so Empress Kao Huizhang accompanied Shunzhi for less than 7 years after entering the palace, and did not give birth to a son and a half daughter.
Since the Shunzhi Emperor did not like the empress, he once wanted to depose Empress Xiaohuizhang. According to historical records, in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi: "In the first month of the fifteenth year, because Empress Zhaosheng did not hesitate, the ancestors of the emperor rebuked the post-etiquette, and the Zhonggong notes were discontinued, and the ministers of the lower kings discussed the matters of the abolition; the empress fell ill in February; in March, because of the will of Empress Zhaosheng, the matter did not come to fruition." This historical record records that Empress Xiaohuizhang did not take good care of Empress Xiaozhuang, and Shunzhi wanted to depose her. However, due to Empress Xiaozhuang's will, Shunzhi was not abolished, and soon Shunzhi died and Kangxi succeeded to the throne, so Empress Xiaohuizhang became the empress dowager at the age of 21, which is also the youngest empress dowager in the history of the Qing Dynasty. If the Shunzhi Emperor had not died early, I am afraid that Empress Xiaohuizhang would not have been able to keep the position of empress. This is the fate of man.
After Empress Xiaozhuang's death, Kangxi showed more respect for Empress Dowager Renxian. At this time, Empress Renxian's power was also greater, but Empress Renxian never abused her power indiscriminately. In the harem of the Qing Dynasty at this time, in addition to empress dowager Renxian's will, it was the holy will of Kangxi.
When Empress Renxian was empress dowager, she had the elder Empress Xiaozhuang and empress Dowager Kangxi, but there was never a contradiction between the three generations of grandchildren and mother-in-law, and it was very harmonious, becoming a good story in the history of the Qing Dynasty. After Empress Xiaozhuang's death, Empress Renxian continued this sense of harmony, which solved many of Kangxi's troubles and allowed him to concentrate on other affairs.
At that time, Kangxi had to face the rebels on the border and manage the country's affairs well, and what bothered the Kangxi Emperor the most was the struggle for the succession of the princes. If the harem women add more chaos to Kangxi, then Kangxi will die of exhaustion. It is precisely because Empress Renxian maintained the royal feelings of the Qing Dynasty that this period was the most lucid period of the Qing Harem.
It was precisely because Empress Renxian was tolerant, but did not ask about political affairs, and maintained the feelings of the Ai Xinjue Luo family, so Kangxi always respected her.
Highly respected
In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, when Empress Renxian was critically ill, Kangxi was also ill at this time, but Kangxi still endured the pain of illness and went to visit. After the death of Empress Renxian, Kangxi was very sad, and he once said: "At this time, there are only those who honor and honor the decay, and there are no people who love and sympathize with the decay." At this time, Kangxi was already a rare year, and he said what he said in his heart, he thought that when Empress Renxian died, he would lose the person who hurt him the most in the world. Kangxi was an old man, and he also longed for the love of his elders. However, from Kangxi's words, it can be seen that Kangxi's mother died early, and it can be seen that he has deep feelings for this mother-in-law.
Empress Renxian has been in the palace for 64 years, the longest time, but her reputation is very good. Her fame continued until the time of Yongzheng dangdang, when Yongzheng also taught the harem to learn from Empress Renxian and asked the concubines to treat the Yongzheng Emperor's birth mother, Empress Xiaogong, as Empress Renxian did with Empress Xiaozhuangwen. Empress Renxian's filial piety and reputation became a model for the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
According to the "History of the Qing Dynasty", two days before Empress Renxian's death, the Kangxi Emperor lived in the Cangzhen Palace and waited, and did not return to the palace to live. After Empress Renxian's death, the Kangxi Emperor buried her in Xiaodongling, which was even higher than That of Concubine Dong.
In general, the situation of the harem of the Qing Dynasty is not complicated, but the posterity has more interpretations and more wild histories, which makes the posterity have a sense of mystery. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was no phenomenon of women's dictatorship in the harem, mainly because of the continuation of some of the systems before entering the customs. Moreover, the strong emperor also restricted the harem women from participating in politics. In ancient times, the royal family had the saying that "the lord is young and the mother is strong", and later Cixi came to power, and because the Tongzhi Emperor was young and short-lived, in that environment, if Cixi did not establish a successor and take power in time, she would also become the target of the attack.
