If you ask which surname has the most empresses in history, it is estimated that it will be carefully calculated, but if the scope is narrowed down to a certain dynasty, it is relatively easy, taking the Qing Dynasty as an example, the Niuhulu family produced five empresses and an emperor's birth mother, which can be described as a magnificent dynasty.
The more common surnames of the Qing Dynasty, such as Fucha, Nala, Tong Jia, Andcheri, etc., not only produced many important courtiers in the dprk, but also had a strong presence in the harem.
The representative of the Guarjia clan - Ao bai
The Guarjia clan was the first clan to be placed in the first place in the official revision of the Eight Banners of Manchurian Clan Genealogy of the Qing Dynasty, and Fei Yingdong, Aobai, Wenxiang, Guiliang, Ronglu and other important ministers shone in the former dynasty, but the Guarjia clan did not seem to have a very high sense of existence in the harem.
In fact
The reason why the Guarjia clan has not produced an empress is indeed a yin and yang error, and history is not without the opportunity to give this large family's female mother the world, but the person who can really decide this matter is still surnamed Ai Xinjueluo after all.
Prominent clan, the only official crown princess of the Qing Dynasty
The Guarjia clan is the same as other Manchurian surnames such as the Nala clan and the Fucha clan, but in fact, it can also be further subdivided according to the clan, such as Su wan guar jia, Ye he guar jia, Ula guar jia, etc., of which the most luxurious is the Su wan guar jia branch.
Fei Yingdong, one of the founding five ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Ao bai (Fei Yingdong's nephew), one of the four auxiliary ministers left by the Shunzhi Emperor to his son, and Shi Tingzhu, a famous general in the early Qing Dynasty, were all Su Wanguarjia.
Modern times seem to have clearly divided the clans of these Manchurian surnames, such as the Qianlong Emperor's successor Nala clan, whether it is Huifa Nala or Uranara, in short, there is some debate,
But in fact, the Qing Dynasty did not pay much attention to the clan of the surname at that time.
The Qianlong Emperor in the film and television drama followed the Nala clan
Generally speaking, it is directly referred to by the surname, and in a considerable part of the case, even the empress will not explicitly mention her clan, such as the surname of the Yongzheng Emperor Xiaojing Empress is fully called Uranara, and the surname of the Qianlong Emperor Xiaoxian Is fully called Shaji Fucha.
However, even such an important document as the Edict of the Establishment of the Emperor is only abbreviated as the Nala clan and the Fucha clan.
Therefore, the literary friends do not have to be too sensitive to the clan.
Thirty-four years later, the Shi clan was made a crown princess. —Draft History of the Qing Dynasty
The closest time the Guarjia clan was to the throne in the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi, when the Kangxi Emperor selected a princess for his son Crown Prince Yin, and both the monarchs and the courtiers, both the government and the public, knew that this princess was the future empress, and her virtue and honor were selected according to the standards of the empress.
In the end, the Kangxi Emperor selected Guar Jiashi (also known as Shi Shi), the daughter of the former Zhengbai Banner Han Army Du Tong and the third rank Bo Shi Wenbing, who was born in the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, as the crown princess.
Don't look at her as a Han military flag to think that she is Han, in fact, it is not like this, in short, the Han military flag also has Manchus, Manchu flag also has Han people, this situation is in a special situation because of special reasons.
Actor Jiao Huang played the Kangxi Emperor
It seems that this crown princess was from a very ordinary origin, and it is true that from the perspective of her father's official position, the origin of the Guarjia clan was not the best among the daughters-in-law of the Kangxi Emperor, but the Kangxi Emperor chose the Guarjia clan with careful consideration.

First of all, the crown princess's virtue was very outstanding, and her personality was also very good, and the Kangxi Emperor personally praised her for her "filial piety and generosity".
The Kangxi Emperor should have considered more about morality and character when helping his son choose a princess, and felt that the Guarjia clan was very suitable for Yin Rong and could play the role of Xian Neisuke.
In fact, the Kangxi Emperor's vision was good, and after marrying Yin Rong, guarjia worked very hard to help her husband manage the affairs of the inner court, although he only gave birth to one daughter, he also loved several children and fulfilled the responsibility of a concubine.

Secondly, although the crown princess's father, Shi Wenbing, was not a core official of the Qing court, he had a deep relationship with the Qing imperial family, and Shi Wenbing's father, Shi Huashan, married the concubine of Duoduo, the Prince of Yu, and later gave birth to Shi Wenbing.
When Shi Wenbing became an adult, he married the second daughter of Doro Huaibei Bele Chang Adai, who was the great-granddaughter of Daishan the Prince of Li, and the two gave birth to the Guarjia clan after marriage.
It can be said that the mother and grandmother of the crown princess are close relatives of the royal family, which also makes up for some of the shortcomings of her father in the official position, and the mother of the crown princess is also a noble daughter, and is posthumously honored as a county prince by the Kangxi Emperor.
(Shi Tingzhu) successively served as the commander of the capital, the shangshu of the bingbu, and the general of Jingkou Zhenhai, and later retired from the year, plus Shaobao and the crown prince Taibao, pawn, posthumously awarded the young fu, Tan Zhongyong, le Shi Jiyan. - "Genealogy of the Manchurian Clans of the Eight Banners of The King"
Third, the crown princess's great-grandfather Shi Tingzhu was a conglong meritorious servant who entered the customs of the Qing Dynasty, and made great military achievements, receiving the honor of posthumously awarding the young fu, posthumously honoring zhongyong, and erecting a monument to commemorate it.
In addition, the crown princess's uncle Shi Lin served as the governor of Liangjiang, and several cousins also served in various places, and the Kangxi Emperor chose her as the crown princess to take care of the Guarjia clan.
It can be said that Guarjia has obtained the ticket to the Queen's Club, but unfortunately her husband did not succeed to the throne in the end, but was still imprisoned.
When the Guarjia clan died in the fifty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the infantry commander Long Keduo to lead thirty guards to wear filial piety, and according to the regulations, even the prince Fu Jin could only enjoy twenty guards to wear filial piety.
It can be seen that the Kangxi Emperor was very recognized by this virtuous daughter-in-law, and after her death, she still enjoyed the mourning honor of some crown princesses. After the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, he created a secret reserve system, and the Guarjia clan became the last official crown princess in history (the Yongyan concubine Fu Jin Xi Tara clan had been crown princess, but did not perform a formal canonization ceremony).

In addition to this crown princess, the closest woman to the throne of the Guarjia clan was Consort Fujin, the Prince of Gongzhong.
Empress Wenzong Xiaodexian, of the Sakda clan, was the daughter of Futai, the shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Emperor Wenzong was made crown prince, daoguang twenty-seven years, and after Emperor Xuanzong's book, he was consort Fujin. --Draft History of the Qing Dynasty
In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, the Daoguang Emperor designated the Sakda clan as the Concubine Fujin to the fourth son of the emperor, Yixuan, a move that made the government and the public look sideways.
Clear-eyed people can see that the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty must have been produced between the fourth son of the emperor Yixuan and the sixth son of the emperor, Yixuan, and the emperor pointed out to the fourth son of the emperor at this time that a woman of low birth and an inconspicuous family lineage was Concubine Fujin, which made many people turn their speculative eyes to Yixuan.
Because the first three brothers had died, Yi Xi was the de facto eldest son, and his mother Niu Hulu was later made empress, so he also had the title of the eldest son.
Restoration of the image
Yi Xun was talented and intelligent, and was loved by the Daoguang Emperor, and her mother, Emperor Jing, was the head of the Six Palaces at that time, and Yi Chen's advantages were also very obvious.
In the twenty-eighth year, he summoned to Beijing and, with his wife, the sixth son of the Emperor Yixuan, he was awarded the red banner of the Han army. —Draft History of the Qing Dynasty, Gui Liang et al.
In the past few years, the Daoguang Emperor summoned The Rehe Governor Guiliang back to Jingshi and married his daughter Guarjia to Yi Zhi as a concubine Fujin, a move that once again caused the government and the public to talk about it.
Guiliang was a favorite of the Daoguang Emperor, and successively served as the governor of Huguang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the governor of Yungui, the governor of Shangshu of the Military Department, and the governor of the White Banner Han Army, whether it was the family lineage or his father's official position, the Guarjia clan was far superior to the Sakda clan.

The reason why the emperor attached so much importance to the emperor's appointment of concubine Fujin to the emperor was because these were the vane of the emperor's secret crown prince, for example, when the Daoguang Emperor was the crown prince, the Qianlong Emperor gave the NiuHulu clan from the large clan as the Concubine Fujin, and after the death of the Concubine Fujin, the Jiaqing Emperor designated the Tong Jia clan, who was also a descendant, as the successor Fujin, and this emphasis naturally gave the officials of the current dynasty a great hint.
Therefore, the courtiers' speculation was not unreasonable, and even Guiliang was very happy in his heart, after all, once the emperor established Yixuan as the crown prince, the daughter would be the empress.
But the ending was so dramatic that neither the Sakda nor the Guarjia clan could sit on the throne of the queen. Although Yi Xuan was able to take the throne, the Sakda clan actually died of illness a month before he ascended the throne, and although he was posthumously honored as Empress Xiaode, he was almost blessed in the end.
Princess Rongshou, daughter of the Guarjia clan
Although the Guarjia clan did not enjoy the glory of the empress, her daughter was named princess of Rongshou Gulun by the empress dowager of the two palaces, and it is reasonable to say that even if they are as honorable as princes and name their daughters as princesses, at most they are only Princess Heshuo, but Princess Rongshou is named Princess Gulun, and The Guarjia clan can also be regarded as a little bit of the empress's blessing.
Finally glorious, the fierce character of the emperor's biological mother
In the turbulent late Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi had a close minister named Ronglu, who was born in manchuria and was a highly controversial historical figure. As a descendant of Fei Yingdong, the founding father of the Qing Dynasty, Rong Lu is of course also a member of the Guarjia clan of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er.
In 1902, on her way back to Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi drew a red line for Zaifeng the Prince of Alcohol and Youlan, daughter of Ronglu.
In fact, as early as before the Gengzi national disaster, Zaifeng's mother Liu Jiashi chose a family affair for her son, but the woman was martyred in the national disaster, so Liu Jiashi chose a wife for her son, although it was the mother's fate, but Zaifeng was still quite satisfied with the woman.

However, at this time, Empress Dowager Cixi gave Zaifeng a kiss, and Liu Jia was very dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to retire from the woman and marry this delicate high-ranking geguard Guarjia Youlan.

Soon after the two married, Rong Lu died. Three years later, on the fourteenth day of the first month of the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), Youlan gave birth to her eldest son, Puyi, for Zaifeng.
Eventually, Empress Dowager Cixi appointed Puyi, who was also the emperor of Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu, to inherit the throne, with Zaifeng as the regent of the jianguo.
According to the "family law" left by the Qianlong Emperor, in order to avoid the dynastic disputes such as the Song Dynasty's Pu Discussion and the Ming Dynasty's Great Ceremony Discussion, the Qianlong Emperor named that if the Qing Emperor appeared to pass from the clan, his father was called the Emperor's biological father, and his mother was called the Emperor's biological mother.
Guarga Youlan
Emperor Guangxu's biological father YiZhen and his birth mother Yehenara eventually enjoyed this treatment, and although Puyi did not explicitly honor his parents after he ascended the throne, the birth parents of Emperor Zaifeng and Youlan were both objective facts and recognized by the government and the public.
Many years after Puyi abdicated the throne, Duankang Princess had a great conflict with Puyi because of Fan Yimei's dismissal, and Duankang Princess, who was furious, summoned Puyi's biological grandmother Liu Jiashi and her birth mother Youlan to reprimand her.
Youlan had a strong personality and could not bear the humiliation, and when he returned to the mansion, he committed suicide by swallowing opium, at the age of 37.
Wei Luan said:
The Guarjia clan rubbed shoulders with the throne twice in the history of the Qing Dynasty, but in the end they failed to ascend to that glorious position, but whether it was Princess Yinrong or Concubine Fujin, their relationship with their husbands was very good during their lifetimes.
Even in captivity, Yin Rong also tried to find a good doctor for his wife, and Yi Chen also established a concubine of the Guarjia clan throughout his life, perhaps without those trembling court life, it was not necessarily a good thing for them.
