The forty-seventh year of Kangxi was a very extraordinary year for the Great Qing Dynasty, and in September of that year, Kangxi deposed the crown prince Yinrong, who had been the crown prince for more than thirty years, and subsequently, two other princes were also implicated, one was the emperor's eldest son Yin Rong (note: Prince Yinrong of Weizhen), and the other was the thirteenth son of the emperor, Yin Xiang, both of whom were imprisoned.
In addition, at the end of the year, Kangxi also had a daughter who was married, she was Kangxi's youngest daughter and Princess Shuo Dunke, the younger sister of the emperor's thirteenth son, Yin Xiang.
Xiu Yu Ziwei
According to relevant statistics, Kangxi had a total of twenty biological daughters, but only eight survived to adulthood, and the youngest one was Princess Heshuo Dunke.
Princess Heshuo Dunke was born on the sixth day of the first lunar month of the 30th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and her mother was The Noble Concubine Zhang Jia of the Jingmin Emperor. Zhang Jia was originally a palace maid in the Kangxi harem, and was favored by the emperor for her outstanding appearance and became a concubine. The five years from the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi to the thirty years of Kangxi were the most favored period of the Zhang Jia clan, and she gave birth to three children for Kangxi in succession, namely the thirteenth son of the emperor, Yin Xiang, the thirteenth daughter of the emperor, and princess Shuo Wenke, the fifteenth daughter of the emperor, and the princess of Shuo Dunke.
Although Zhang Jiashi was very favored, due to her humble origins, Kangxi never gave her a reasonable name, Zhang Jiashi has always been mentally depressed, and multiple births have also caused great loss to her body. Moreover, the Zhang Jia clan did not have custody of children, Yin Xiang was given to Princess De to raise after birth, Princess Heshuo Wenke was given to Concubine Yi after birth, and Princess Heshuo Dunke was sent to Changchun Palace after birth (Note: It is not certain which Concubine Of Changchun Palace is).
As such, in the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the poor woman Zhang Jiashi passed away in a hurry, and in this year, Princess Heshuo Dunke was only nine years old (false age).
and pro-Mongolian
Manchu-Mongolian marriage is a national policy that has been adhered to since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and as many as 500 Gege married to Mongolia in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and Princess Heshuo Dunke was not spared. When Princess Heshuo Tunke was 16 years old, her sister Princess Heshuo Wenke married The Little Prince Kurazu of the Onniu Special Department. At this time, Princess Heshuo Dunke should also reach the age of marriage.
In December of the 47th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, three months after the depose of Crown Prince Yinrong, Princess Heshuo Dunke was married to the Horqin Department by her father Kangxi, and the donkey was Taiji Dorji. It can be imagined that at that time, Princess Heshuo Dunke's brother Yin Xiang was being imprisoned, and I don't know what kind of mood Princess Heshuo Dunke came to Horqin Province, and her heart must be full of reluctance and concern for her brother.
However, this is the fate of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty, they have always been treated as victims of political transactions, and they do not have the right to choose freely in marriage, which shows that the princesses in ancient times are not as beautiful and happy as we imagine.
Red faces are fleeting
It is said that in the second year of Princess Heshuo Dunke's marriage (the forty-eighth year of Kangxi), the princess of the Qing Dynasty returned to the province of Jingshi, speculating that the reason why the princess returned to Jingshi may have two purposes. First, this year Yin Xiang was lifted from captivity, and Princess Heshuo Dunke may have returned to visit her brother. Second, judging from the fact that Princess Heshuo Dunke died of illness at the end of that year, at that time, her condition was more serious, that is, Princess Heshuo Dunke may have returned to Beijing for treatment.
However, unexpectedly, in December of this year, the Princess of the Qing Dynasty, who had just been married for a year, hastily ended her life. It is worth mentioning that Princess Heshuo Dunke's sister and Princess Shuo Wenke died in childbirth in August of that year. In less than half a year, the thirteenth son of the emperor, Yin Xiang, lost two of his closest sisters, and he did not know what kind of situation he was in at that time, he must have been extremely sad, and what made Yin Xiang even more helpless was that since the incident of the abolition of the prince, he had lost the trust of his father Kangxi, and in the end Kangxi dynasty was never reused.
After the death of Princess Heshuo Dunke, Kangxi ordered the funeral of the two princes of AnJun Wang and Heping Junwang, and this personnel arrangement can also show Kangxi's love and compassion for Princess Heshuo Dunke. However, the red face is gone, and everything has finally become a thing of the past.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Yin Xiang ushered in a new life, from an ordinary son of the former emperor, instantly became the Prince of Heshuoyi, who was above ten thousand people under one person, and Yin Xiang's birth mother Zhang Jiashi was also posthumously named by Yongzheng as the noble concubine of the Jingmin Emperor, and was moved from the Jingling Concubine Garden to the Jingling Underground Palace, becoming the first imperial concubine in the history of the Qing Dynasty to be buried in the imperial tomb.
