In people's impressions, the Qing Emperors liked those teenage show girls, generally would not summon the elderly women into the harem, of course, there are two emperors, the first is the Emperor Taiji, the Emperor Taiji once included the two widows of Lin Dan Khan into the harem, creating a precedent for the Qing Dynasty to summon widows into the palace, the second is the Qianlong Emperor, the Qianlong Harem's famous Concubine Rong (Xiangfei), who was also a widow before entering the palace. In fact, Kangxi also took a widow as a concubine, and she was the noble Guo Luoluoshi.
Sister of Kangxi's favorite concubine
The nobleman Guo Luo Luoshi, named Na Lan Zhu, Manchurian Yellow Banner Man, daughter of the Three Guan Bao.
According to the "Qing History Manuscript", Guo Luoluoshi was the sister of Kangxi's favorite concubine Concubine Yifei, but according to some Manchu archives, although Guo Luoluo entered the palace a little later, she entered the palace as a "widow", that is, Guo Luoluoshi was Yifei's sister.
Therefore, the birth of Concubine Yi is the origin of Guo Luoluoshi.
According to historical records, Guo Luoluoshi was a clothed slave from the yellow flag, his great-grandfather was named Akai, his grandfather was Baoyi Zuoling Shore Tamu, and his father was Baoyi Zuoling and Shilang Sanguan Bao.
Guo Luoluo's father, Sanguan Bao, was originally the leader of the Yellow Banner Shengjing Zuo, and was promoted to the head of the Shengjing Internal Affairs Office in the twenty-third year of Kangxi, because Concubine Yi was deeply favored by Kangxi, Kangxi twice lived in the Sanguan Bao family when he went out on patrol, and even Kangxi called Sanguan Bao "Qi", it is said that after the death of Sanguan Bao, Kangxi ordered him to erect a monument:
"More Yu Shu Shun's sage, the style of praise the palace of the transformation." Relatives, Banya is a close subject. Shengjing was in charge of the Internal Affairs Office's Guanfang Seal and the Three Officials. ”
Even in the Yongxian Record, it is said that Yifei "cares the deepest", and Yifei is deeply favored by Kangxi, which seems to be infallible.
A widow who was summoned to the harem by Kangxi
At the beginning of the sixteenth year of Kangxi, Sanguanbao's younger daughter was selected in the palace draft and was immediately favored by Kangxi, and this palace daughter who was favored by Kangxi was the later Concubine Yi. Perhaps because of Yifei's favor, Kangxi learned that Yifei had a sister at home, although she was a widow, but she looked beautiful like a flower, so Kangxi went down to summon Yifei's sister Guo Luoluoshi directly into the harem in July of this year, and Guo Luoluo became the only concubine in the Kangxi harem to enter the palace as a "widow".
Soon after Guo Luoluo entered the palace, her sister was officially canonized with the title of Yi Concubine, ranking sixth among the seven concubines.
Although it was his sister Yi Concubine who was officially canonized, mr. Guo Luoluo, who entered the palace as a "widow", shows that Guo Luoluoshi's favor at that time may be no less than that of his sister.
In May of the eighteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Guo Luoluo gave birth to a sixth daughter for Kangxi, with the fourth princess, later Princess Gulun Kejing. Also in December of the same year, Concubine Yi also gave birth immediately, and she gave birth to a small prince, the fifth son of the emperor, named Yin Qi.
Two years later, Guo Luoluo's sister Yi Concubine was once again promoted to Yi Concubine, ranking second among the four concubines, and in the entire Qing harem, she belonged to the fourth person, and her status was extraordinary. As for Guo Luo luoshi himself, perhaps because of his status as a "widow", he may not have been canonized, but he would also summon her every three to five years, and Guo Luoluoshi lived up to expectations and gave birth to the crown prince Yin in the twenty-second year of Kangxi, unfortunately, the little prince only lived for eleven months before dying.
In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, we are most commonly seen is "the mother is precious to the son", the mother will dip the light of the son, the crown prince Yin born of Guo Luoluoshi, after which she has never been able to give birth, it seems that the future is hopeless, as everyone knows, the concubines of the Great Qing will sometimes stain the light of the daughter.
Princess of the Qing Dynasty who was in power over Mongolia
During the Kangxi period, the northwest frontier was very unstable, and the Dzungars rebelled many times, which was a headache for Kangxi. To this end, Kangxi continued to marry Mongolian tribes and married his daughters to Mongolia, according to statistics, seven of kangxi's adult daughters married to Mongolia, namely: Princess Gulun Chunxi, Princess Gulun Rongxian, Princess Heshuo Duanjing, Princess Gulun Kejing, Princess Gulun Chunbei, Princess Heshuo Wenke, and Princess Heshuo Dunke.
Among these seven princesses, the most powerful one is undoubtedly Princess Gulun Kejing.
In the thirty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the 19-year-old empress dowager was crowned by Kangxi as Princess Heshuo Kejing, and then married Dun Dob Dorji. What is the origin of this Tun Dob Dorzi?
Princess Heshuo Kejing Album:
"Dian Chong'ao descended, the imperial daughter ordination was Qin Zhao, Shi Mei Su Yong, and Wang Ji Yong Wasong Qi Li Yi." Both the inner rule, the honorable honor, the princess of Shu'er and Shuo, the daughter of Nai Shuo, the daughter of Shu Shu, the respectful and cautious Juju Rou Jia Wei Ze, the mother Yi Ke Feng, the teaching of the dream in the palace, the virtue of the woman, the reputation is especially prominent in the construction of the museum, the noble sect of the silver Huang, the matching of Gao Hong, the Yi relative of the jade disc, the Gongxiang Zongguo Feng Gu Yun Xie, the elephant costume Youyi, is the use of the feng'er as the princess of Kejing, the golden book of the tin (given), the humble to hold the surplus, the dry of the Yi Du Xingmen, the noble and thrifty, the voice of the eternal room, do not replace the Lingyi, shang slow Houlu, Qin this. ”
It turned out that Tun Dob Dorji was the eldest son of Kalkhadoro King Kaldan Dorji, and later inherited his father's title and became the third generation of Tushetu Khan. Tushetu Khan was the first of the four Khalkha Mongols, which had a very important impact on maintaining the stability of the northern frontier of the Qing Dynasty, and when Khalkha stabilized, it was able to contain the Dzungars in the northwest to a large extent.
After Princess Heshuo Kejing married Tun Dob Dorji, Kangxi was still uneasy about Mobei, so he gave his daughter Kejing to live in Naturalization City, which is now the old city of Hohhot, according to the "Princess Mansion Chronicle", Princess Kejing moved three times, and these three times were related to Kangxi's personal conquest of the Dzungar Department.
Indeed, after Princess Kejing married to Mongolia, there was no more infighting among the Khalkha tribes, and everyone worked together to point the spearhead at the distinguished Dzungar ministries, and the Entire Khalkha Ministries were attached to the Qing court and began to become part of the territory of the Qing Empire. ”
Everyone knows that Yongzheng had a very bad relationship with Concubine Yi, the favorite concubine of Kangxi, because Yin Yu, the son of Concubine Yi, had helped Yin Yu to seize the concubine, and Princess Yi was Princess Kejing's aunt. However, Yongzheng was also well aware of the importance of his sister Kejing to the Qing Dynasty, so after succeeding to the throne, he instead made Kejing a princess of Gulun.
Princess Gulun Kejing's album:
"Bending the book Shen Xi, grace will be thicker than this branch, elephant service to increase reverence, friendship every Yin in the same qi, carrying the present ceremony, with the honor of ben." Princess Zhi'er Kejing was the sixth daughter of Emperor Shengzuren, Yuxiu Ziwei, Fenhui Yinhan, Chengshen Palace's Zhixun, No Slack to follow, Burmese Women's History of Fang Rules, Yi Huai Gui Mian. The great treasure of the Yuan, the Hongci of the Yang Body, the benevolence of the Xi class, and the fate of the Te Pei Silk Lun are the golden books of the Tin with the title of Princess Kejing Gulun. Humble to hold the surplus, the festival of admiration, noble and thrifty, Shang Zhao soft and smooth wind, Ke Shu LingYi, Yong Zhi Duo Fu, Qin Zhao! ”
Generally speaking, only the daughter born to the empress can be crowned as a princess of Gulun, the daughter born of the empress's adopted daughter and concubine can only be named Princess Heshuo, Kejing's mother Guo Luoluoshi is only a concubine without a title in the Kangxi harem, or entered the palace as a "widow", it is reasonable to say that she is not eligible to be named a princess of Gulun, but it has to be said that many times the title and reward serve politics, and Yongzheng sealed Kejing as a princess of Gulun, not to say how good the relationship with this sister is, but mainly to her position in Mongolia.
It is said that Kejing has a title in Mongolia as "Princess Haimu", and "Haijing" translates in Chinese as "staff officer" and "deliberative", that is to say, in Mongolia, Princess Kejing has the right to participate in political affairs, and the princess house where she lives is simply an independent kingdom in the naturalized city, and those generals and generals still have to bow down to her to say hello.
What is even more unexpected is that Princess Kejing even has the obligation to supervise the country, participating in the formulation of the "Khalkha Three Banners Regulations", what is rare is that this princess does not have the royal delicacy at all, but is very sympathetic to the common people, and the "Princess House Chronicle" records that Princess Kejing is "frugal and supple, does not treat the royal pride, and is skillful in etiquette." ”
On the banks of the Qingshui River, there is also a monument to the merits of Princess Kejing, which reads: "Since the reclamation, all the peasants who have enthusiastically competed for the trend have been innumerable" and "The virtue of the princess is also felt." ”
As we said earlier, Guo Luoluoshi was only a concubine without a title in the Kangxi Dynasty, but her final title was a nobleman, and this noble person was most likely honored after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, that is to say, Guo Luoluoshi was actually stained with the light of his daughter Kejing. However, as for the time of Guo Luoluo's death, the historical data is not recorded, and according to the distribution map of the Kangxi Jingling Concubine Garden, it seems that the Imperial Concubine of the Qing Dynasty was not buried in the Concubine Garden, and as for where it was buried, further discovery is still needed.
Zichen said:
The noble guo luo luoshi was only a concubine in the Kangxi harem who did not have a title, but compared with her sister Concubine Yi, she was also favored, and also gave birth to two children for Kangxi, especially the daughter Princess Gulun Kejing, who became the most powerful princess in the Qing Dynasty, as for why she herself did not know when she died and where she was buried, perhaps it had a great identity with her original "widow" identity, after all, Kangxi summoned a widow to the palace as a concubine, and it was not a glorious thing to pass it out.
