The Cangyang Gyatso Love Song once said: "Before the controversy is hidden, the pearl fetus is pregnant." "Although throughout the ages, only married couples can have children, but for thousands of years, there have been countless things about the secret knot of the pearl fetus, and this corrupt act of customs has also made the world lament.
In ancient society, the emperor had a supreme position, whether it was a common people or a minister of the court, they had to follow the emperor's instructions.
Although in ancient societies, people's requirements for morality were relatively high, imperial power could override moral standards. Once, an emperor in china's ancient society coveted the beauty of the courtier's wife, and after that, he was even more angry with the empress for forcibly occupying the courtier's wife.
In the end, the courtier's wife gave birth to a son, who was taken care of by the emperor and became a household name, becoming a well-known figure in history. So, who was this emperor who forcibly occupied the wives of his courtiers? What is the identity of the son he secretly gave birth to with this lady?
The emperor who made the act of forcibly occupying the wives of his courtiers was the famous Qianlong, and perhaps when people mentioned Qianlong, they would not associate it with the image of the wives of others, after all, in the historical records, the Qianlong Emperor was a Ming emperor, and during his reign, the people also lived a rich life.
Through an in-depth understanding of the history of the Qing Dynasty, it will be found that in fact, the Qianlong Emperor is not as perfect as later generations imagined. In the early years, with the efforts of the Kangxi Emperor and the Yongzheng Emperor, the development of the Qing Dynasty had reached its peak, and for the Qianlong Emperor, as long as he maintained the qing dynasty's rule step by step, the country's development would not reach an impasse.
At the beginning of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, he was still able to exert himself and focus on the development of the country, but in the later stages of his reign, he gradually became proud and complacent, and made many extravagant and wasteful behaviors
。 In addition to economic profligacy, in terms of personal feelings, the Qianlong Emperor also had many acts that were criticized.
Although later generations learned about the qianlong emperor's love life, they would be touched by his sincere feelings with Empress Fucha.
But in fact, the Qianlong Emperor was not a dedicated person, and in his harem, there were also many beautiful people. However, based on the special status of the empress, in the process of the Qianlong Emperor getting along with her, he would also treat the empress with great courtesy.
Under the influence of the empress, the entire Fucha clan was valued by Qianlong, and in the imperial court, Fu Heng, the younger brother of Empress Fucha, was even more cared for by the emperor because of his outstanding ability.
For a person of noble birth like Fu Heng, who can become his wife, must have a good origin, and it is said in the historical records that Fu Heng's wife was born in the Guarjia clan and had a more prominent position.
According to legend, Fu Heng's wife, Guarjia, was not only born noble, but also had a beautiful appearance, which also made the Qianlong Emperor remember Guarjia after he met him by chance.
However, due to the restrictions on his status, the Qianlong Emperor was not able to directly take Guarjiashi as a concubine, but in his heart, he did not give up the idea of possessing Guarjiashi.
After that, the Qianlong Emperor often sent Fu Heng out on missions, and in this case, the Qianlong Emperor had the opportunity to spend time alone with the Guarjia clan.
Although Guarjia was not willing to betray her husband, in the face of the Qianlong Emperor, who was high above, she could not directly refuse, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer. For Empress Fucha and Fu Heng, both of them knew about the secret communication between the Guarjia clan and the Qianlong Emperor, but due to the development of the family, they could not directly expose this matter.
After this happened,
Empress Fucha was indignant at the Qianlong Emperor's immorality and died shortly afterwards with hatred
, ending his life.
For the Qianlong Emperor, the death of Empress Fucha did not affect his private meeting with the Guarjia clan.
In the days that followed, the Guarjia clan even conceived the child of the Qianlong Emperor
But nominally, the child belonged to the Fucha family, and this child was a household name during the Qing Dynasty
Fukang Ann
。
According to historical records,
After Fu Kang'an was born, the Qianlong Emperor was very fond of him and even allowed him to enter the imperial palace and study with the princes
Not only that, the Qianlong Emperor gave Fukang the supreme glory,
At the age of twenty, he had already entered the imperial government as an official.
In the days that followed, Fukang'an held great power, and when he died of illness, the Qianlong Emperor was deeply saddened and gave him the supreme honor.
Although the relationship between the Qianlong Emperor and Fukang'an is not clear in the main history, based on the Qianlong Emperor's attitude towards Fukang'an, the world also believes that this child is most likely to belong to Qianlong.
In the harem at that time, the status of many princes was also lower than that of Fukang'an, and after Fukang'an's death, he was from
The Qianlong Emperor gave him the title of "King of Jiayong County"
It can also be seen that there must be a closer relationship between the two than the monarch, after all
In the Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated that only the emperor's sons or brothers could enjoy the title of "County King".
epilogue
From this story between the Qianlong Emperor and the Guarjia clan, it can be seen that in the feudal background, even if a woman has a noble origin, she still needs to be obedient to everything when facing the emperor. Based on the influence of such a decadent system, many tragic stories also appeared in ancient societies.
Although the feudal and decadent social system has existed in China for a thousand years, with the changes in society, this backward system has finally been abandoned by the world, and when the people of our country broke through the feudal shackles, they began to embrace a more free and comfortable new life.
Now that our country has entered a new stage of development and the relationship between people is becoming more and more equal, I believe that in the days to come, such tragic events caused by unequal status will not happen again.
