As we all know, Qianlong is an amorous son of heaven, but even if he is more affectionate, there is also a white moonlight in his heart, and some people think that the white moonlight in Qianlong's heart must be Empress Xiaoxian. In fact, although Empress Xiaoxian is Qianlong's favorite, but after all, she has been a husband and wife with Qianlong for about twenty years, there is such a woman, not only came to Qianlong's side first, but also gave birth to his eldest son, this woman is most likely Qianlong's "first love", but unfortunately she has a red face and a short life, becoming the white moonlight in Qianlong's heart, so let us walk into the life world of The Emperor Zhe mercy.
A clothed maiden from Shinjiku
Imperial Concubine Zhe,
Kahari Fucha clan, concubine of the Qianlong Emperor, the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner Wrapping Pipe, and the daughter of the Zuoling Weng Guotu.
According to records, the ancestors of the noble concubines of the Zhe Mercy Emperor were
Nya Tang'e (the eighth ancestor), because he had lived in the villages of Kahari and Roshelin for generations, also known as the Kahari Fucha clan, did not have any patrilineal relationship with the Fucha clan (the ancestor of Empress Xiaoxian) who lived in the Shaji region, they were just the same surname.
at
During the grandchildren of Niya Tang'e, this Fucha clan was incorporated into the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, which is also in line with the records of the "Eight Banners manchurian clan genealogy", but the "Eight Flags Tongzhi" records that Weng Guotu, the father of the noble concubine of the Emperor Zhe mercy, once served as the chief of the baoyi, which shows that the noble concubine of the Zhe mercy emperor was a wrapped woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even belonged to the wrapped pipe collar, that is, the Xinzhiku people.
Why?
The author speculates that this may be caused by the branch of the Fucha clan of the Zhe Mercy Emperor Guifei, who remained in the northeast when the Manchu Qing Entered the Customs and belonged to the Manchurian Zhenghuangqi people. The other part of the clan entered the customs from the dragon and became the Beijing Banner Cloak, which is the reason why the Noble Concubine of the Emperor Zhe Mercy was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The noble concubines of emperor Zhe Mercy who were born in the interior ministry, and their clans served as collars, infantry schools, defenses, pen-and-post styles, etc., most of them were some middle-level bureaucrats, so from this point of view, Zhe Mercy can also be regarded as a bureaucratic family.
A pampered maid of the hidden mansion
In the third year of Yongzheng, Fuchashi, the daughter of Zuo ling Weng Guotu, participated in the palace women's draft organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after being selected, the Yongzheng Emperor gave Fucha to the fourth son of the emperor, Hongli.
At that time, Hongli was only 15 years old and had not yet married, that is to say, Fucha was most likely the earliest woman that Hongli (Qianlong) came into contact with, and from the perspective of age, Fucha was probably older than Qianlong. This can be confirmed by a poem.
Qianlong Forty-five Years of "Empress Xiaoxian's Mausoleum Drinking Wine":
"Seventy years old I was arrested, and I was appointed to him at the age of 100." The illusionist is shocked, and the deceased is not left behind. (Those who accompanied the empress dowager, The Noble Concubines of the Huixian Emperor and the Noble Concubines of the Shujia Emperor were all arrested in their seventies and died now, and they are all more and more fearful)"
In this poem, Qianlong mentions that those who were buried with Empress Xiaoxian in the underground palace, the huixian emperor concubine and the shujia emperor concubine if they are alive, they are about to turn seventy, but there is no mention of the zhe mercy emperor concubine who is also buried in the Yuling underground palace, which shows that at this time, the zhe mercy emperor's noble concubine has exceeded seventy years old, (Qianlong forty-five years qianlong is exactly 70 years old), so the zhe mercy should be older than Qianlong.
When Fucha came to Hongli's side, Hongli was still an ignorant teenager, and knew a little about some things, Fucha became his guide, and in the process of contact, the two had a first love feeling, and naturally, Fucha became a woman of Hongli and became a concubine (Gege).
In July of the fifth year of Yongzheng, the fourth son of the Emperor, Hongli, married another Fucha clan (later Empress Xiaoxian), and the two were married at the Qianxi No. 2 in the Forbidden City. It was also at this time that the daughter Fucha (Emperor Zhe mercy) became pregnant with the flesh and bones of Hongli, and on May 28 of the following year, Fucha gave birth to the eldest son Yong Huang for the 18-year-old Hongli, which was Hongli's first child, and the significance was naturally extraordinary.
After that, although Hongli focused his main energy on Consort Fujin (Empress Xiaoxian), he did not snub the Fucha clan, and from time to time he would summon her, which caused the Fucha clan to give birth to a daughter for Hongli on April 27, 9, Yongzheng, that is, the second daughter of the emperor, but unfortunately, this daughter of Hongli died shortly after birth.
There is no connection with the position of side Fujin
As we said before, generally speaking, the Qing Dynasty princes had one Concubine Fujin (or successor Fujin) and two side Fujin, and One of the Side Fujins was selected by the emperor among the Eight Banners and then given to the prince. The concubines (handmaidens, geges) around the crown prince who give birth to children can be given the title of lateral Fujin.
According to this convention, we can look at Qianlong's allocation of places in the Imperial Household Period.
Both the Fucha clan (Empress Xiaoxian) and the Lateral Fujin Nara clan (娴皇后, i.e., the successor) were both selected by Yongzheng among the Eight Banners and then given to their son Hongli. Then look at Qianlong's children during his time as emperor, the emperor's eldest son Yong Huang and the emperor's second daughter were born to the envoy Fu Cha clan, the emperor's second son Yong Lian, the emperor's eldest daughter, the third daughter of the emperor (Gu Lun and Jing Princess) was born to the Fu Cha clan of Concubine Fujin, and the third son of the emperor Yong Zhang was born to the envoy Su Shi (Pure Hui Emperor Guifei), but Su Shi was born in May of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, only three months after Yongzheng's death.
According to the custom of the crown prince's concubines asking for the title of Lateral Fujin, the person who was named Hongli Lateral Fujin was obviously the Fucha clan who gave birth to the eldest son, Yong Huang. However, a letter from Yongzheng in the twelfth year of Yongzheng dashed the hopes of the Fucha clan.
On the first day of March in the twelfth year of Yongzheng, the Yongzheng Emperor issued an edict to promote the maid Gao Shi (Huixian Emperor Guifei) who was close to Hongli as a side Fujin, and the Gao clan at that time did not have any birth records, which was extremely rare in the Qing Dynasty. As for the reason, it is obvious that Gao's father, Gao Bin, was a Yongzheng heavy zhihe noh, an official to the governor of the river, while Fucha's father, Weng Guotu, was only a four-pin zuo.
Regret the lifelong Imperial Princess of the Qing Dynasty
After the ascension of The Fu cha clan to the throne, Fu Cha's mood was depressed, coupled with the physical wear and tear caused by the birth of children, she gradually became unsupported, and Yu Yongzheng died on the third day of July in the thirteenth year of The Thirteenth Year, and the estimated age should be around 25 years old.
Perhaps the Fucha clan would not have imagined that only two months after her death, her husband Hongli would inherit the throne as the Qianlong Emperor.
After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he did not forget the woman who gave birth to children for herself, and first parked the coffin of the Fucha clan
Liugu Dao Funeral Home, and then in the first year of Qianlong, the emperor posthumously honored Fu Cha as a concubine. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs's "Hongzhi Universal", the meaning of "zhe" is "clean" and "clear", which shows that the Fucha clan who was posthumously awarded the title of zhe concubine was the white moonlight in Qianlong's heart.
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the tenth year of Qianlong, just the day after Gao's being promoted to imperial concubine, Qianlong ordered that Fucha be posthumously promoted to the title of Imperial Concubine of Zhe mercy, and the meaning of "mercy" was "pity", which shows that the early death of Fucha clan left Qianlong with great regrets.
Emperor Zhe's concubines posthumously wrote:
"Jonaji yu Xuan Palace, Forever Cherish Ling Fan." Broadcast the emblem in The Lan Institute, the more elaborate the latent light. Be prepared for mourning, and grace will be preserved. Erzhe Mercy Emperor Noble Concubine Fu Cha Clan, endowed with pure quality, house and thickness. The work is cocooned, and the night is careful. Derby Heng Huang, Zan Gong Min Zhi Ya. Trace the sound of the past, praise to ask the party to come. The title is jia chong, a few feasts are carried out, and the play is played. Mian Wei loves his son and asks for his age. Remembering the moment of walking, tin life is full of life. Lingqi has knowledge, shu ji ge. ”
According to the data, when Qianlong was a prince, he was surrounded by several gege (concubines) who died early, and the only one who could be posthumously honored was the noble concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor.
In October of the seventeenth year of Qianlong, Emperor Zhe mercy was buried with Empress Xiaoxian and Emperor Huixian in the Qing Dynasty's Shengshuiyu Yuling Underground Palace, nearly eighteen years after her death, and she was finally able to settle down.
The eldest son of the Emperor who died young:
Regarding the emperor's eldest son Yong Huang, born to the noble concubine of Emperor Zhe mercy, we need to say that under normal circumstances, the emperor's eldest son is the emperor's most important prince in addition to his concubine, and there is also a certain possibility of inheriting the throne. But Yong Huang was depressed by Qianlong's reprimand, what was going on?
When Empress Xiaoxian died thirteen years after Qianlong, Yong Huang was greeted as the eldest son of the Emperor, but during the funeral, the Emperor's eldest son Yong Huang and the Emperor's third son Yong Zhang did not show enough sadness, and as a result, they were severely reprimanded by Qianlong, and Qianlong even implied that Yong Huang and Yong Zhang had lost the qualification to inherit the throne.
After this incident, Yong Huang, who was only 20 years old, became depressed and frightened, and died only two years later.
Zichen said:
As the earliest woman of Qianlong, The Noble Concubine of the Emperor Of Zhe Mercy gave birth to the eldest son, Yong Huang, and her position in Qianlong's heart was not insignificant, and it was for this reason that Qianlong made an exception to promote her to imperial concubine and buried her in the Yuling Underground Palace. However, it has to be said that in the treatment of the eldest son Yong Huang, Qianlong was ashamed in his heart, and it was his harshness that caused Yong Huang's early death, and I don't know what Qianlong and Fu Cha clan would say after meeting underground.
