Twenty-five years after Jiaqing, the emperor died, and Daoguang ascended the throne at the Taihe Temple. In addition to the great feudal courtiers, Daoguang also gave rewards to his wives and concubines who had accompanied him for many years. The Tong Jia clan of The Concubine Officiation naturally became empress, and among the two lateral Fujins, the Huifa Nala clan was given the title of Concubine of Harmony, and soon after, it was promoted to Concubine of Harmony, while the Fucha Clan was only given the title of Concubine.
In the eyes of people at that time, Tian Concubine must have been a loss. The Fucha clan is not from a low origin, and her family is one of the eight major surnames in Manchuria. In the entire Qing Dynasty, in addition to the royal family Ai Xinjue Luo clan, the Fucha clan should be the most prominent noble family. In the five generations of Kangqian's heyday alone, dozens of celebrities have emerged from the Fucha clan.
More importantly, the Fucha clan had already served Mianning, who was the eldest son of the concubine in the early years of Jiaqing. Moreover, in the fourth year of Jiaqing, the Jiaqing Emperor personally named him a side Fujin of Mianning. According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", in the same year, Jiaqing also wrote Mianning's name in the edict of the secret Li Chu, hidden behind the Qianqing Palace Zhengda Guangming Plaque.
In other words, the Fucha clan was recognized by the Jiaqing Emperor and served as an important concubine of the future crown prince, and even as a candidate for the empress. In this capacity, in other eras, Bian Fujin will definitely get a concubine. Therefore, many people think that Tian Concubine's initial sub-sealing is a bit of a loss, but she will definitely get further promotion like another side of the Jinjin Huifa Nara clan.
However, this waiting has been waiting for a long time, and the left waiting will not come, and the right will not come. Until the death of Tian Concubine, or even the death of Daoguang, there was no result. Even the later emperor did not honor this woman of low status, and has always been a concubine.
There are many reasons, and the unloved concubine Fucha clan is certainly the most important factor, but there are also some objective factors.
First of all, the Fucha clan is childless. The imperial concubine was childless and was originally at a disadvantage in the court competition. If placed in the Kang Yongqian period, because the emperor has many heirs, it is not extremely important. However, during the Daoguang period, especially in the early Daoguang period, the number of princes was very small, and this disadvantage was infinitely magnified.
Secondly, after Daoguang succeeded to the throne, a draft was held. His previous wives and concubines, including the Fucha clan, were all married by his father, the Jiaqing Emperor. After that, he could choose the concubine he liked according to his preferences. Therefore, the women who entered the palace later were extremely competitive. Especially in the second year of Daoguang's entry into the palace, the Niuhulu clan, from a nobleman to a noble concubine, took only a few years, and she basically took away all the favors of the Daoguang Emperor.
Third, during the Daoguang period, the national strength declined, and the Opium War was encountered, and the finances were stretched. Daoguang was originally frugal by nature, and this time it was even more stingy. He often lowered the title of harem concubine for no reason, which was very rare in the Qing Dynasty, in order to reduce the expenditure in the palace. Not only that, he even stipulated that except for the empress dowager and the empress, the other concubines could not even eat meat during the festival.
Imagine that these harem women, all from the families of officials and eunuchs, are all bridesmaids and famous. Before, she also lived a life of fine clothes and jade food, everything was worry-free, and after becoming the emperor's woman, she could not even eat meat. As for wearing gold and wearing silver, profligate, don't even think about it in the Daoguang Dynasty.
Concubine Fucha also lived such a life, she was born into a famous family, her status before entering the palace was originally high, and now her living standard is plummeting, basically being abused and tortured. However, No matter how much Daoguang did, he only needed to make sure that his beloved queen was doing well, and the rest of the people were not in the scope of consideration.
Fortunately, many of Daoguang's concubines were demoted for no reason, contributing to reducing the cost of the palace, while Concubine Tian still retained the title. This is probably also because she has served Daoguang for a long time, and she did not have much of a high status before, so it is really not good to lower it.
However, a disaster in the twenty-five years of Daoguang brought everything to an end. Last year, there was a TV series called "Yanxi Raiders", which made Yanxi Palace famous. What Concubine Tian lived in at that time was the Yanxi Palace. However, in the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang, the Yanxi Palace caught fire, and it was very serious. In the midst of the raging fire, the concubine Fucha was burned alive. This poor woman, from the hidden mansion to the palace, served Daoguang for a total of 46 years, but after her death, she did not receive any posthumous titles.
