The quality of a woman's life in ancient times was determined by her husband and son, and her fate was never in her own hands, and Abahai, who had made outstanding achievements, was not spared.
Grace alone
Abhay Jurchen, who grew up in the steppe and was the daughter of a tribal chief, died when she was three years old, and her fate was rewritten by her uncle Bu Zhantai.
Qing Taizu Nurhaci, a generation of tyrants, was the largest king of the steppe, he led an army to the East, unified the Jurchens, and established the Houjin
The nine divisions of Hada and Mongol Erqin jointly rebelled, but were ultimately defeated.
Abhay's uncle Buzhantai was captured and began a three-year captivity life, during which he saw and heard Nurhaci's ambition and fierceness, the strength of the 2 people was very different, in order to save the tribe, Buzhantai took the initiative to show goodwill, promising to give Abahai to Nurhaci.
Abhay was only 12 years old at that time, her father died early, no one gave her the master of marriage events, helplessly, she could only obey her uncle's orders, marry someone 30 years older than her, Nurhaci, who already had 7 wives, 2 people were very different, a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world faced a city government's deep ambition,
Everyone was worried about Abhay's situation.
Surprisingly, however, Abhay not only survived, but was also favored by Nurhaci. Born into an aristocratic family, she has a unique temperament, a bold personality, courage and insight, often giving Nurhaci different ideas and ideas, coupled with her exquisite facial features, it is no wonder that Nurhaci will be moved.
Of course, Abahai can stand out among the many concubines also has some "means", she has always been gentle and considerate to Nurhaci,
Even in the end, Nurhaci raised an army to recruit her tribe, Abahai never complained half a word, watching the little petite wife so considerate and sensible, Nurhaci was even more pampered.
At that time, the most favored was The Emperor Taiji's birth mother Meng Gu, looking at her husband and other women's love, her heart was hard to hide her loss, and she washed her face with tears all day.
When he died 2 years later, the young Emperor Taiji blamed his mother's death on Abahai, sowing hidden dangers here.
Outstanding achievements
After The death of Menggu, Nurhaci made Abahai a concubine, and Abhay lived up to the expectations of the people and gave birth to 3 sons for Nurhaci in succession.
They were the eldest son Azig, the second son Dorgon, and the third son, Dordor.
All three of them were able to fight a good war, and they made great contributions to the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, and the founding pillar was worthy of its name.
Azig, nurhaci's twelve sons, this person has a rough personality, but Xiao Yong is good at war, known as the "general of constant victory", and the two most famous battles in his life are to follow the Emperor Taiji to attack Beijing and fight 56 victories
In the rebel army that destroyed Li Zicheng, Azig occupied 63 cities, recruited more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and achieved remarkable results, and was the founding general of the Qing Dynasty.
Dorgon, the fourteenth son of Nurhaci, was an outstanding politician and military figure, compared to his brother Azig, he was more sleek in life, fame and fortune, if the former was a founding hero, then he was the key figure who laid the foundation, in the context of the great national integration at that time,
Dorgon used his strength to conquer Korea, Mongolia and other ministries, and was a hero to promote the great unity of the nation.
Duoduo, the fifteenth son of Nurhaci, contributed to the Qing Dynasty,
The Qianlong Emperor commented: The founding kings have the most meritorious achievements in battle, but it is a pity that Heaven is jealous of talents and died young.
The three sons were extraordinary, and they were the glory of Abhay's life.
Fatal error
Nurhaci is getting older, his body is not as good as before, Abahai, who has made countless enemies over the years, and has 3 young children under his knees, all of which makes Abachi more careful, she realizes that if she loses Nurhaci's protection, her situation will be very difficult, and she has always been smart and cautious, and she has made fatal mistakes.
The ancient throne followed the primogeniture system, the tribal leader also applied, Abahai was the most favored, aiwu and Wu, her 3 sons were also deeply liked by Nurhaci, but the heir must be the eldest son, which means that the future tribal leader can only be the son of the Shomu Tong Jia clan.
There is a custom in the steppe that after the death of the father, all the property is owned by the heirs, including his wife, in order to create better living conditions for the three children, Abba Hai began to be close to the Great Belledet.
Three women in one play, not to mention Nurhaci's eight women, jealousy makes people look beyond recognition, and Abhay is not having an easy time in the harem.
Her 2 maids had a dispute and exposed each other's adulterous feelings one by one, just happened to be heard by the passing concubine Dai Yincha, who had long seen Aba Hai's unpleasant eyes, she just caught the opportunity, and then ordered someone to investigate, and if it was found that one or two were wrong, she immediately ran to report to Nurhaci.
Both of the maids committed adultery, which was true, but both had the acquiescence of Abhay, and Nurhaci was furious when he heard this, and ordered the maid to be executed, although on the surface there was no trouble, but there was already a gap between the two.
What really brought down Abba hai was the next thing, before the maid reported that Abba Hai had left the palace late at night.
Dai Shan had sent two meals, and Dai Shan did not refuse to eat it, which was a big taboo in the grassland, because the wife could not give things to others behind her husband's back, which meant that she had love for that person, and if the other party accepted it, it showed that he also had this intention.
Nurhaci was very angry, his wife and heir actually exchanged hearts behind his back, coupled with Dai Yincha's incitement, deposed Daishan's succession and Abhay's concubine in one breath, and Abhay played a good hand of cards.
Abhay was supposed to be sentenced to death, but Nurhaci was so fond of her that he spared her the death penalty by making the child still young and needed to be cared for.
Later, Nurhaci went out to recuperate due to illness, but his condition did not improve, and the situation deteriorated day by day, so he first issued a secret order to return to the palace, and then set off for Shenyang, and ordered someone to pass Abahai to meet him, and then restored her concubine position, 2 people met in the HunHe River, and before they returned to the palace, Nurhaci died at the age of 68.
Nurhaci died, the eighth son Emperor Taiji succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to order Abhay to accompany the funeral, saying that this was the will of the father's secret edict, of course, whether the will mentioned this matter in the will is unknown to posterity, Abhay asked the Emperor Taiji for forgiveness on the grounds of children,
However, the new king was pressed forward, and in desperation, Abba Hai had to hang himself and be buried with the previous king, only 37 years old.
At that time, Azig was 22 years old, Dorgon was 16 years old, Dordor was 14 years old, and after emperor Taiji, that is, the emperor's throne, he posthumously crowned his birth mother Empress Menggu, and the plaque was offered to the taimiao, which was beyond reproach, but Abahai was a concubine of Nurhaci before he died, which was equivalent to Menggu's status, and after death, he did not have a title, not even a divine card, which obviously had a derogatory meaning.
Later, Dorgon, as his biological mother Zhaoxue, posthumously crowned Empress Abbahai and placed the plaque in the Taimiao Temple, but not long after Dorgon died of illness, the Shunzhi Emperor deposed Abahai's empress, and the sacred tablet was removed from the Taimiao Temple.
