During the Qing Dynasty, the emperor would generally personally choose the Concubine Fujin for the crown prince, and these Fujins were mainly from the Eight Banners family, and the way to choose was to choose a draft girl. For example, Kangxi set up a family affair for his sons early, and the woman I want to talk about today was taken by Kangxi at a glance, and this woman actually accompanied Yongzheng for forty years, who is she?
A famous woman of the Eight Banners family
Around the thirtieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor took a fancy to a woman from the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner in the draft and gave her to the emperor's fourth son, Yin Chan (雍正). The woman's surname was Uranara, the youngest daughter of the late Minister of the Interior, Feyangu, so what was unique about this Uranara clan?
It turned out that this Uranara clan was a descendant of Dulhi, the fourth lord of the Haixi Jurchen Ula Tribe, and his father, Fei Yanggu, was raised by Emperor Taizong taiji at an early age and awarded a third-class bodyguard. When Fei Yanggu grew up, he made great achievements in the war against the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols, and kangxi succeeded to the throne and successively appointed him as the commander of the infantry and the minister of the interior. From the perspective of family lineage, the Uranara clan can be said to be a famous queen.
Moreover, the Uranara clan is also related to the Aisin Kyaw Lo family.
The maternal grandfather of the Uranara clan, named Mulhu, was the great-grandson of Nurhaci (the grandson of Nurhaci's eldest son Chu Ying), and in addition, an aunt of the Uranara clan (the sister of the mother of the Uranara clan) married FeiYangu of the Dong'e clan as his stepwife and became the stepmother of Empress Xiaoxian Duanjing (Dong Efei) of Shunzhi, that is, Empress Xiaoxian Duanjing was not related to the Uranara clan.
He married the crown prince according to the mandate of heaven
Around the thirty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Uranara clan married the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, on the orders of the Son of Heaven. Yin Chan was a very capable son of Kangxi, not only ranked high, but also his mother Princess De was deeply favored by Kangxi, and more importantly, Yin Chan's adoptive mother was Empress Xiaoyiren, who was able to marry the empress's adopted son, which was obviously very satisfactory to the Uranara clan.
Soon after Uranara married Yin chan, she gave birth to her eldest son, Honghui, who was also named Dorobel by Kangxi, and from then on, the Uranara clan became the undisputed pawn of Yongbeile Province. Moreover, the Uranara clan has the humility and prudence of a Manchurian woman, and is also very filial to the empress dowager and the emperor, which can be said to be a fairly competent daughter-in-law.
However, the forty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty was a very painful year for the Uranara clan, when her eldest son, Honghui, died prematurely and lived only 8 years. After that, due to physical reasons, the Uranara clan was never able to bear children for her husband Yin Chan again, which became the biggest regret of the Uranara clan in his life.
Empress dowager
On November 13, 61, Kangxi, who had been in power for sixty-one years, died in Changchun Garden, and subsequently, Yin Chan the Prince of Yong succeeded to the throne of the Qing Dynasty as the Yongzheng Emperor, and only three months later, Yongzheng issued an edict:
"The foundation of weathering, the internal assistance of the capital, the foundation of humanity, the first heavy Kunyi, the positioning of this heaven and earth, and the constant scripture of the emperor." Consort Fu Jin Nara Clan, Yi Fan Sex Cheng, Hui Yin Su Shu, Filial Piety To Chenghuan, Hui Ci Zhang, Yi Chengguang Chenji, Xianhao Zhonggong, should be made empress to xuanzong. He obeyed ci's instructions, made Consort Fujin an empress, and performed a ceremony, and Erbu inspected the instrument in detail. ”
Since it was the time of the great funeral of Kangxi and Empress Xiaogongren, Yongzheng did not hold a celebration ceremony for the Uranara clan, but when the empress was established, Yongzheng broke the precedent and sent officials to pay homage to the tombs of previous emperors and Yue Zhenhai to defecate Changbai Mountain (a ceremony enjoyed by emperors), a practice that was followed by later Qianlong.
Drive back to Yaochi to bury the imperial tomb
Since Uranara entered the middle palace, he has constantly helped her husband to deal with the affairs of the harem, and under her command, Yongzheng's harem is also orderly, and it is not as bloody as in the film and television drama. However, in the sixth year of Yongzheng, Uranara was infected with a wind chill, this time the illness was delayed for a long time, Yongzheng almost died a tai doctor (Wu Qian) for this place, fortunately, after a year, Uranara clan gradually recovered.
However, in the eighth year of Yongzheng, the physical condition of the Uranara clan gradually deteriorated, so Yongzheng had to adjust the leadership of the harem, promoting Concubine Xi to Concubine Xi and assisting the empress in handling the affairs of the Six Palaces. Only a year later, the Uranara clan died in Changchun Garden at the age of 51, with the honorific title of Empress Xiaojing.
Because Yongzheng's Tailing Tomb was not yet completed at that time, the Zi Palace of the Ullanara clan had to be temporarily stored in the funeral palace, and after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he personally sent the Zi Palace of his father Yongzheng and his mother-in-law Empress Xiaojing to the Tailing Underground Palace for burial, and the woman who accompanied Yongzheng for forty years was finally buried with her husband, in addition, there was a woman who was also buried in the Yongzheng Tailing Underground Palace, she was the Noble Concubine Nian of the Dunsu Emperor.
