In the history of the harem of the Qing Dynasty, it is not uncommon for two sisters to marry the same emperor, such as Concubine Chen and Concubine Zhuang of the Imperial Taiji Harem, Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen of the Guangxu Harem, etc. The Qianlong Harem also has a pair of sisters, they are Yi Concubine and Bai Guiren. However, it is relatively rare for sisters to marry the emperor's father and son, and today we are going to talk about a pair of sisters who are married to the Father and Son of Qianlong, the sister is a nobleman, and the younger sister is Yongqi Fu jin Xi Lin Jue Luoshi.
1. Daughter of a famous person
Eguiren, surnamed Xilin Jueluoshi, Manchurian blue flag man, and Qianlong followed by the same banner, born on March 24, 111th year of Yongzheng, the father of Zhejiang Inspector Ele Shun.
It is said that the ancestors of this nobleman surrendered to Houjin as early as the Nurhaci period, and was later given the position of Shiguan Zuoling.
But don't underestimate the position of Shiguan Zuoling, why?
In the early years, Nurhaci founded the Eight Flags system, and the ZuoLing was the basic unit organization, also known as Niulu Zhangjing, at the beginning, there were three hundred people in the First Zuo Ling, and later changed to two hundred people, and this official position belonged to the Zhengsipin.
In fact, the position of having a collar is nothing, if you add the word "shiguan" in front of the collar, it is different, which shows that this position is hereditary, so from this point of view, the title of the clan leader is similar to the title, so in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the status of a family is judged by whether there is a position of the clan leader. If you have this position in your family, others will naturally look up to you, and it will be much more convenient in terms of marriage and funeral.
The great-grandfather of the Egui people was named Ebai, and he was once the overseer of the state, what is this position?
Guozijian is the highest institution of education and education management institution in the ancient society, for the sipin officials, the so-called sacrificial wine, is the supreme leader of the Guozijian, that is to say, this Guozijian sacrificial liquor is equivalent to the president of modern Tsinghua University and the minister of education, and the level is not low.
In fact, from this point of view, the family lineage of the Egui people is already quite good, and if there is another high-ranking official in the family, it will be more perfect, which will greatly enhance the status of the Xilinjue Luo family.
It just so happened that there was a high-ranking official in the family of the Egui people, and this person was called Ortai.
Ortai is the son of Ebai and is related to the grandfather of the Egui people as a brother, that is, Ortai is the uncle (uncle) of the Egui people.
Ortai was born in the nineteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and at the age of twenty he was elected to the top, but after that, he was unsuccessful in the official field, and only at the age of thirty-seven did he get a position as a foreign minister of internal affairs, and the disheartened Ortai once issued the sigh of "the mirror collector will be old, and the door grass will not be born", perhaps even he himself would not have thought that in the future, he would actually enter the picture and become the first assistant of the imperial court.
After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Ortai was promoted by rocket, and soon became the governor of Yungui, and later made great contributions in "changing the land and returning to the stream". In the tenth year of Yongzheng, Ortai was summoned to the Beijing Division and appointed as a scholar of the Baohe Temple, ranking first assistant in the cabinet. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Ortai served as the minister of prime minister affairs, concurrently serving as the minister of military aircraft, the minister of consular guards, and the minister of parliamentary affairs.
2. Eight Flags draft into the palace
Yi Ling'a, the cloth clerk Wailang Yiling'a, according to the guanguan defense inner pipe collar and shan and other Wen Kai to do pure concubines, sea nobles, Egui people satin car wei three points, felt top five points, felt fence five points, yarn fence three points, oil spinning wire fence six points, set four points, cloth cover six points, short circumference three points, satin mattress six, leather mattress three, gebu mattress three, Hangzhou fine liwei twenty-six points, need to use foreign tailors to do long work two hundred and thirty-five work, each wage of one hundred and fifty-four texts, receiving a large amount of money thirty-six strings, one hundred and ninety yuan. ("Qing Palace Internal Affairs Office Song Sale File")
Some people think that the Egui people entered the palace in the Eight Banners Draft in the third year of Qianlong, but the Egui people who were born in the eleventh year of Yongzheng were only six years old (imaginary years old) when Qianlong was three years old, how could they enter the palace? Therefore, this noble man in the early years of Qianlong should obviously not be the one we are talking about.
So, when did the Egui people enter the palace?
There were four women in Chen Guiren and four women in May Chen Concubine; four women in Shen Guiren, three women in Lu Chang, and three women in May; two women in the official and one woman under the family, and the noble woman in May who were still the same; three women in Bai Chang in the official; three women in Lin Chang in the official, and three Women in May; three women in the official in The woman who were often in the official, and three women in the official in Echang. ("The Meat-Eating Bottom Account of the Woman's Grandmother in the Palace and Other Places")
Here is an archive of Qianlong's twelfth year, and in this archive, the last one in the list is EChangzai, and it was in August of this year that the military minister Ne personally handed over to Qianlong the Xie Enzhu of Egui's father, Ele Shun (鄂敏), who was serving in the Zhejiang Hai Defense Reserve.
Therefore, Eguiren should have entered the palace in the twelfth year of Qianlong, when she was already 15 years old.
However, one thing is quite confusing, it is reasonable to say, like the Egui people, how can the first seal be a noble person, why only seal the permanent presence?
The author speculates that it may have a lot to do with Ortai.
As we said above, Ertai, who was also known as Yongzheng's confidant with Tian Wenjing and Li Wei, was the first assistant in the early years of Qianlong, but perhaps in order to contain Ortai, Yongzheng also left a Zhang Tingyu for his son Qianlong. Sure enough, Ertai and Zhang Tingyu, two members of the imperial court, fell into party strife in the early years of Qianlong, which also annoyed Qianlong quite much.
Although Ertai had died in the tenth year of Qianlong, the rectification of the E'er Party was inevitable, that is to say, the Xilinjue Luo family was about to decline. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand the special situation in which the Egui people were first enthroned, and this situation became more and more obvious later.
Twenty years after Qianlong, Egui's father, Ele Shun, was given suicide by Qianlong for false minister silver and asking for silver from salt merchants, and he was in the palace, but his father was given to commit suicide, and the mood of the Egui people can be imagined.
In this way, until the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, for 47 years, the position of the Egui people has never changed, and he is still a permanent one.
In December of the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, when he was about to ascend the throne, Qianlong decided to promote the harem concubines, and Echang was finally promoted to a nobleman, called Eguiren, and at this time, Eguiren was already a 62-year-old old woman.
3. A spoilless princess who lives a long life
As we mentioned earlier, there are several health masters in the Qianlong harem, such as Wan Guifei, Yu Guifei, Gong Concubine, etc. Obviously, the Egui people are also counted as one.
Imagine that he was elected to the palace, saw the decline of the family but there was no way, and even witnessed his father being given to commit suicide, so that other people may have died of depression. But the Egui people seem to have seen the cold and warm of the world long ago, and their hearts have been completely released.
After Jiaqing took over the government, the Egui people moved to shoukang Palace to live, usually she rarely interacted with people, the only one who could speak was Wan Guifei, because Wan Guifei was also a spoiled person, and the two of them were pitiful with the same disease.
In the twelfth year of Jiaqing, the 92-year-old Concubine Wan Guifei died, and the 75-year-old Egui personally came to the funeral palace to bid farewell, which shows that the personal relationship between these two concubines should be very good.
After The death of Princess Wan Guifei, there were fewer people to talk to the Egui people, and the Egui people felt lonely, and after only one year, she died at the age of 76.
On March 18, 14th year of Jiaqing, Egui and Shougui were buried in the Yuling Concubine Garden.
In addition, this nobleman had a cousin, Xi Lin Jue Luoshi, who was the granddaughter of Ortai and the daughter of Ebi, the governor of Sichuan. Xilin Jue Luoshi was selected in the Eight Banners Draft of Qianlong in the twenty-second year, and was immediately pointed out by Qianlong to the fifth son of the Emperor Yongqi as a concubine Fujin, that is to say, the two sisters of Egui and Xilinjue Luoshi were married to Qianlong father and son respectively.
It is worth mentioning that this Xilin Jue Luoshi was not happy with Yongqi, and only gave birth to a son for Yongqi, who died very early. Moreover, Yongqi died prematurely in the 31st year of Qianlong due to bone gangrene, after which Xilin Jueluoshi stayed alone in the empty house for 28 years, and died in December of the 59th year of Qianlong.
In addition, the Egui people also had an aunt of the same ethnic group, surnamed Xilin Jueluoshi, The Chinese name Gu Taiqing, was a famous female lyricist of the Qing Dynasty, Gu Taiqing married Yi Yi as a side Fujin, this Yi painting was Actually Yong Qi's grandson, that is, the son of Wang Mianyi of Rongke County. From this point of view, the Xi lin jue Luo family still likes to marry the Yongqi family.
Zichen said:
In the Qing Palace, there were too many unloved people, but there were very few who could look down on everything like the Egui people. In fact, the suffering of the Egui people is even more miserable than that of the health masters such as Wan Guifei, Yue Guifei, and Gong Concubine, and she has witnessed the decline of the family and the death of her father, and I believe that only she herself can understand such pain. But even so, the Egui people still see through everything and let go of everything, which few people can do, so it is said: Don't care too much about fame and fortune, if not, the injured will definitely be yourself.
