In the Qing Dynasty, generally speaking, the emperor's original wife would be crowned empress, but there were exceptions to everything, only one of the qing emperor's hair-tied wives was not named empress, she was the original match of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, the Yuan Concubine Niu Hulu clan.
When it comes to the empress dowager of Emperor Taiji, everyone is most familiar with the concubines of the Five Palaces, in 1636, Emperor Taiji declared himself emperor in Shenyang, established the Great Qing Kingdom, and sealed the five palaces, namely Empress Zhezhe of Qingning Palace, Concubine Hailanzhu of Guanju Palace, Concubine Namu Zhong of Lintong Palace, Concubine Batma of Yanqing Palace, and Princess Bumubutai of Yongfu Palace. Among them, Zhe Zhe of Qingning Palace was the first empress of the Qing Dynasty, and as everyone knows, she is only the third Great Fu Jin of Emperor Taiji, so who is the first Great Fu Jin of Emperor Taiji, that is, his wife?
According to historical records, Emperor Taiji's wife was the daughter of Hongyi Gong'e Yidu, Niu Hulu, who was a famous general under Nurhaci and one of the five founding ministers of the Qing Dynasty, who made great military achievements in the process of the founding of the Qing Dynasty. And this Niuhulu clan was born in 1593, this year, the Yehebu of the four Parts of the Haixi Jurchens jointly attacked the Jianzhou Jurchens with the other eight parts, but they were easily defeated by Nurhaci without thinking, which shows that the birth of the Niuhulu clan brought good luck to the Jurchens of Jianzhou.
After niuhulu grew up, he was favored by Nurhaci and promised it to the eighth son, Emperor Taiji, who was the fourth baylor of the Golden Kingdom, a heroic god and martial, who could become his concubine Fujin, which showed that NiuHulu was also a very good woman. At that time, The Emperor Taiji had two Fujins, the Niuhulu clan was the Great Fujin (嫡福晋) and the Uranara clan was the Lateral Fujin.
Comparatively speaking, Huang Taiji was more fond of this side Fujin from the Ula tribe, and the Ullanara clan successively gave birth to two sons and a daughter for The Emperor Taiji, and the more famous was the emperor's eldest son Hauge. However, the third son of the Emperor Luo Bo, who was born to the Niu Hulu clan, did not live to adulthood, and the Niu Hulu clan died in the second year after giving birth to Luo Bo, and it was really a jealous red face at the age of 19!
Later, Emperor Taiji was called emperor, and it was reasonable to say that he should posthumously name his wife as empress, however, whether it was the first Daifuku Jin Niu Hulu clan, or the second Daifuku Jin Uranara clan, they were all forgotten by the Emperor Taiji, and the Uranara clan was even directly abandoned by him, and in the end, the Niu Hulu clan only obtained the title of "Yuan Concubine".
In fact, Huang Taiji also had a yuan concubine, she was the concubine Hai Lan Zhu of Guan Ju Palace, Hai Lan Zhu was the favorite of Huang Tai Chi's life, at that time, she was second only to the aunt Zhe Zhe of the Middle Palace among the five palace concubines, after the death of Hai Lan Zhu, the Emperor Taiji held a state funeral for her, and posthumously named her Min Huigong and Yuan Concubine
