Who was Qianlong's birth mother? This has always been a mystery. Qianlong is famous in history, together with Kangxi and his father Yongzheng, he created the "Kangqian Shengshi", he promoted the healthy development of social economy and completed the multi-ethnic unification of the country, and Qianlong was also a long-lived emperor, he lived for 89 years.
However, people have always relished Qianlong's life, and to this day people have always had many theories about Qianlong's birthplace and who his birth mother was. The Qianlong Emperor always believed that his birthplace was the Lama Temple, which was a very famous lama temple, which was also the princely palace of the Yongzheng Prince in the Kangxi Era, so after Qianlong ascended the throne, a portrait of his father Yongzheng was enshrined in the shrine of the Lama Temple, and he would worship it every year on the seventh day of the first lunar month. He also wrote a poem to show that he never forgot this birthplace.
Even so, people still did not believe that Qianlong's birthplace was the Lama Temple, and even his son was in opposition, and even when he wrote a poem to celebrate his birthday, he still proposed that his father Qianlong was born in Rehe Mountain Villa, and ordered the ministers to seriously check and edit Qianlong's "Practical Training" and "Records", until the officials took out Qianlong's poems to show him, Jiaqing felt that the matter was still more serious, so he gave up the lion park theory.
There are many theories about the place of birth, then the theories about Qianlong's birth mother are even more diverse, the most interesting and most interesting is that the Yongzheng Emperor went hunting in the Chengde Summer Resort one year, hit a sika deer, and drank a lot of deer blood at that time, so Longyang Daxing, pulling a very ugly palace girl to vent, waiting until the next year, the Yongzheng Emperor came to Chengde again, heard that a palace girl gave birth to a dragon species, Kangxi was very angry at the time, and was afraid of ruining the royal reputation, so he sent someone to bring this palace girl surnamed Li to the grass shed He gave birth to a child, that is, Qianlong, and later a Qing Dynasty widow, Mao Heting, dictated the birth of Qianlong in the grass shed, so this theory was very widely circulated, but these still belong to the wild history.
In fact, one only needs to look at the "Hadiths" and "Records" and "Jade Tablets" of the Qianlong period to know the truth, because it is very clearly written on it, Qianlong was born in the Lama Temple on August 13, 50th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and these books are recorded. Qianlong was also a very filial son, serving his mother many times down to Jiangnan, up Mount Taishan, and also went to the summer resort many times, and used more than 3,000 gold to make a blonde pagoda for his mother, which can be seen that Qianlong has a deep affection for his birth mother.
But there are still people who want to make a fuss about this matter, Zeng Guofan's closest friend Wang Minyun, is a famous poet of the Qing Dynasty, he thinks that Qianlong's birth mother even if it is Niu Cobalt Lu clan, but still has an unclear relationship with the mountain villa, Wang Minyun thinks that Qianlong's birth mother Niu Hulu clan, the family road is ordinary, the old home is also in Chengde, is mixed into the sister group was selected as a show girl, and later after entering the palace, she served as a servant in the Prince of Yong, and finally gave birth to Qianlong, which sounds very interesting, but still cannot withstand careful investigation. Because the draft women were very strict at that time, the doorman system was quite strict, and it was impossible for a woman to blend into Ouchi, so this statement was unreliable.
Later, it came out that Qianlong was the old son of Chen Ge, a salt merchant in Zhejiang, when the old lady of Chen Ge and the wife of Prince Yong both gave birth to children, and the two children were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, and after Prince Yong took Chen Ge's old child into the palace, he replaced the child, and Elder Chen Ge saw that the white fat boy was replaced by a piece of beggars, but he dared not speak angrily, and could only swallow his anger, and this fat boy was the later Qianlong Emperor.
In general, these statements are all wind-catching, can not withstand scrutiny, whether in time is inconsistent, in the reasonableness is even more unreasonable, many kinds of theories are untenable, although there are various statements in the field of history, but according to the qing palace archives to analyze, Qianlong's birthplace is the Lama Temple, so no matter how suspicious posterity is, these can not be believed as historical facts.
