The only empress of the Qing Dynasty, married at the age of 12, gave birth to three princes in a row, two of whom were the Iron Hat King

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many Jurchen tribes active in the Liaodong region, the most powerful of which was the Haixi Jurchen Tribal Alliance, when the Haixi Jurchens were really the Nala family, divided into four parts: Yehe, Ula, Hada and Huifa. In 1590, Fu Jin of Mantaibel, the lord of the Ural Tribe, gave birth to a daughter named Abhay, and it was unexpected that the baby girl would later become the empress of the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time as Abba Hai was born, the neighboring Jianzhou Jurchens continued to grow, and Nurhaci had become the biggest threat to the four Jurchens of Haixi. As a result, the Lord of the Haixi Jurchen League, Yehebu, tried to claim territory and population from the Jurchens of Jianzhou, but Nurhaci rebuffed them, so in 1593, Yehebu organized nine allied troops to launch a large-scale attack on Jianzhou, and the Ulabu army also participated in this attack.

As a result, unexpectedly, the Jurchen soldiers of Jianzhou, under the leadership of Nurhaci, fought together with the enemy and defeated the nine coalition troops, and after that, the Haixi Jurchens were no longer able to organize the growth and attack of Jianzhou. In 1601, Nurhaci effortlessly destroyed the Hada, and the neighboring Ural tribes felt greatly threatened.

So in this year, the lord of the Ula tribe, Bu Zhantai, sent his niece Abahai to the city of Feiala in Jianzhou and married Nurhaci, and from then on, Abhay became a Fujin of Nurhaci.

It is said that although This Abhay is not very old, he has become a beautiful woman with a graceful appearance, which makes Nurhachi's heart desire, and at first sight, he immediately shifts his attention from Menggu Zhezhe to Abhay's body. Losing the favor of the Khan King, and the husband and wife's family (Yehebu), Menggu Zhezhe died only two years later (1603), at the age of 29.

After the death of Menggu Zhezhe, Abhay sat on the throne of the grand concubine with his favor, but a seed of hatred was planted in the heart of Nurhaci's eighth son, Emperor Taiji.

Beginning in 1605 and continuing until 1614, on the eve of the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, Concubine Abhay gave birth to three sons to Nurhaci, namely the twelfth son Azig, the fourteenth son Dorgon, and the fifteenth son Dordon. In view of the favor of the Great Khan, coupled with the cleverness and heroism of the three sons of Abba Haisheng, Nurhaci regarded them as pearls in his palm, and even in his later years, he recorded most of the cattle of the two yellow flags in his hands to these three sons.

In 1620, however, Abhay suffered his first major blow. In this year, Nurhaci's concubine Deinze denounced her having an affair with the Great Belle Daishan, and Nurhaci abandoned her after checking it out, although he soon re-established him as a grand concubine, but this matter had a huge impact on the political situation of Houjin, and the reputation of the Great Belle Daishan was discredited, and Abhay and his sons were also affected to some extent, and the biggest beneficiary was none other than the Four Baylor Emperor Taiji.

In August 1626, a generation of male lord Nurhaci died of illness near Shenyang, just the day after Nurhaci coffin returned to Shenyang, Abhay received a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the prince Beyler headed by Emperor Taiji said that the Great Khan ordered him to be buried, although Abhay was extremely reluctant in his heart, but as a female stream, she had no choice, and finally had to die and be martyred in the Mandate of Heaven Khan Nurhaci.

Time flew by for 24 years, and in the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650), Abahai's son Dorgon had become the regent of the Qing Dynasty. Dorgon used his power to posthumously honor his mother as Empress Xiaoliewu and assign her tablet to the Taimiao Temple. Unexpectedly, however, at the end of the year, the regent Dorgon was killed in the city of Kara, and soon after, Dorgon was liquidated by the Shunzhi Emperor, and his birth mother Abhay was also posthumously awarded the title of empress.
