Jiaqing's life seems to be related to the wrapping (slave talent), not only the birth mother Empress Xiaoyi chun is born in the coat, even his original empress has a wrapping background, what is more unexpected is that the firstborn son of the emperor to Jiaqing is also a wrapped woman, she was originally a slave who served around Jiaqing, but fortunately was favored by Jiaqing and honored as an imperial concubine, but before dying, she was "driven" out of the palace by the Daoguang Emperor, why is this?
1. The woman in the coat of the Ministry of internal affairs
First of all, let's talk about the meaning of the word "wrapping", some readers still don't quite understand this word, the organization of wrapping has a lot to do with the Eight Flags system of the Qing Dynasty, referring to a group of people who have served the emperor or the princes of the clan for generations under the eight flags system, and are actually the slaves of the emperor or the princes of the clan.
For example, the royal family has an institution specializing in the management of the wrapping, called the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is basically the wrapped slaves of the Three Banners, and these people have served the royal family for generations. If you think they are slaves, they must be very inferior, which is a big mistake.
Sometimes, because of their close relationship with the imperial family, the interior ministry was more important to the emperor, and many of them served as the emperor's cronies, such as the Cao and Li clans who served as weavers in Jiangnan during the Kangxi Dynasty. Some people can also become members of the imperial court, such as Empress Xiaoshurui's cousin Laibao, an official to a university scholar, and become a member of the Yipin Clan. Some women from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also included in the harem by the emperor, such as the Concubines of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Concubines of Liang, the Concubines of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and the Concubines of the Qianlong Dynasty, and the Concubines of the Qianlong Dynasty, and even gave birth to the Heavenly Sons of the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, not only the upper three banners of the royal family have wrapped slaves, but also the lower five banners, they will generally become the private servants of the princes of the clan, such as He Qing, the enlightenment teacher of yongzheng's third son, When he was young, he Qing, was a subordinate of the yellow flag, to put it bluntly, it was the wrapped slave with the white flag, and when Yongzheng was a prince, he happened to be sealed in the white flag.
Next, let's talk about the origin of this woman who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son for Jiaqing?
Princess Heyu, whose original surname was Liu Jia (劉家氏), was the daughter of Liu Fuming of the Baitang Dynasty, born on the 21st day of the first month of the 26th year of Qianlong, three months younger than Jiaqing.
Liu Fuming's father, Liu Fuming, was a Baitang'a, and the so-called Baitang'a referred to the managers of the Qing Dynasty who had no grades, and since there was no grade, it meant that the status was quite low. Another point is that since Liu Shi was able to make her daughter come to Jiaqing, who was still a prince, to serve, it meant that she was most likely from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, since Liu Fuming's father, Liu Fuming, was a non-grade BaiTang'a, that is to say, the status of the Liu family in the Interior Ministry was also relatively low.
In this case, unless there is a decent talent in the family, for example, if there is a person who can participate in the imperial examination, the door will be promoted a lot, but there is no such person in the Liu family. To change the fate of the family, there is also a possibility, that is, the family has a show girl who is selected to enter the palace, and then is accepted as a concubine (concubine) by the emperor or the crown prince, and it just so happens that the Liu clan belongs to the latter.
2. The change of the fate of the slaves
In the forty-second year of Qianlong, the 16-year-old Liu Shi entered the palace through the draft of the palace women of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but she was not included in the harem by the emperor, nor did she stay in the palace as a palace maid, but was given to the fifteenth brother Yongyan (Jiaqing) by Qianlong as a daughter.
It has to be said that Liu Shi is a woman with explosive luck, because Yongyan has been secretly established as the crown prince by Qianlong in the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong, and is the future emperor of the Qing Empire. That is to say, if Liu Shi did not die early, she would become the Imperial Princess of the Qing Dynasty, which is beyond doubt.
Here we need to say that the marriage of the qing dynasty prince.
During the Qing Dynasty, the emperor would make the decision to marry the prince Fujin and Fujin, and in addition, he would also give some palace women (handmaidens) from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the prince, in addition to serving these princes, it was more important to open branches for the royal family. Some handmaidens would even come to the prince's side to serve before the prince got married, and they became the first women to contact the prince, and they would give birth to children to the prince first, so we will understand that the eldest sons of most emperors in the Qing Dynasty were not born of the original, but born of a concubine or concubine.
After Liu Shi came to the side of the fifteenth brother Yong Yan, in the face of such a girl who was similar to his own age, she looked beautiful and beautiful, and Yong Yan could not hold on, and it was not long before Yong Yan spoiled Liu Shi.
In the forty-fourth year of Qianlong, Liu Shi took the lead in giving birth to yongyan's first son, the eldest son of the emperor, and was later posthumously honored by Daoguang as the King of Mu County. Why is it a posthumous seal? Because this little brother only lived for three months, he died prematurely.
Although the eldest son died prematurely, Yongyan was still very fond of Liu, and in the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, Liu became pregnant with a child again, and at the end of that year gave birth to a little princess, that is, the third daughter of the later emperor, Princess Zhuang Jing and Shuo.
In the sixth year of Jiaqing, the princess married sotnam dobji, the county king of the Mongolian Horqin tribe, sotnam dobji had no heirs, and the Daoguang Emperor found a poor nephew in his clan and designated him as the stepdaughter of Sotnam Dobuji, who was called the "pillar of the country" by the late Qing Dynasty.
Patriarchally, the monk Greenqin was the grandson of the Liu clan, so after Liu's death, the monk Greenqin once gave him filial piety.
3. From slave to imperial concubine
On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jiaqing, Yongyan, who had just succeeded to the throne, canonized his wife and concubine, and the emperor's eldest son and mother, Liu Shi, were named concubines. In the harem position, the Liu clan ranked third after the Empress Kitara clan and the noble concubine Niu Hulu clan, this ranking is relatively high, first of all, no matter how favored Liu Shi is, this concubine position is mainly obtained by what, not by the birth mother of the emperor's eldest son, even if the emperor's eldest son is no longer alive.
Concubine Book:
"The government undertakes to repair the temple. Rong Fen Nei Zhi Long. Qingji Ji Tu. The transformation of the Middle Palace of Defeng. Hung Xi Ke Yi. Elephant costumes are appropriate. Erliu Jiashi. Etiquette. Keep your heart straight. Gentle and courteous. Repair group to Zhen Yi. Soft and good flowing sound. Concordance and superficiality. Emperor Chuyuan. Empress Dowager. It is used to seal the seal as a concubine. Erqi Qin Xuanshu asked. More praise for Kun Yi. Prepare fangyou. Bear the sundanese with only. Thanks. He obeyed the edict of the Emperor Taishang. Canonization ceremony was held. Shang Qi's respect is unspeakable. ”
According to the "Hongzhi Universal" record, the meaning of "諴" is "real" and "sincere", perhaps in Jiaqing's view, the clothed woman who gave birth to her eldest son is a woman who has no scheming and is sincere to herself.
On November 21, the sixth year of Jiaqing, Princess Zhuang Jing and Princess Shuo, the third daughter of the emperor born to Liu, performed the initial ceremony, and the Jiaqing Emperor went to the Bohol Hall to attend the banquet with many ministers, princes of the clan and the eunuchs, and the concubines of the inner court celebrated at the Yikun Palace where Liu lived.
Moreover, at this time, Empress Xiaoshurui was no longer alive, and the successor to the throne was the original noble concubine Niu Hulu, that is, Empress Xiaoherui, and the Liu clan ranked second in the harem, second only to the empress.
In the thirteenth year of Jiaqing, the concubine Nala clan of Jiaqing's second son Mianning gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson (Yiwei) for Jiaqing, and the Jiaqing Emperor Longyan Dayue immediately promoted the harem concubines, and Liu Shi was given the title of concubine of the jin dynasty:
"The Spirit Bell is a melon." Zhen Fu Kai five generations of auspicious. Praise. The blessing of the six houses of Jishi Xi. Singing toe. Style Ofs. Concubine Liu Jia and De Xie Rou Jia. Yi Zhangshu is cautious. Cheng'en Pepper Temple. I have seen the Nine Imperial Honors. Send Hi Kirito Steps. Is it the only one who celebrates? Both extended to Baozuo. It is advisable to award it to Yao Guang. It is the use of Jin Feng'er as a noble concubine. Tin Book of Destiny. Erqi Township and Maodi. Yu Xiang is in the middle of the vertical shape. Jia Rui is still frequent. Long serves Chenxuan and worships orders. Thanks. ”
However, although she was in a high position in the harem, Liu Shi hoped that her daughter would be safe, but the heavens still failed to meet Liu s expectations, and in the third year of Liu Shi's being made a noble concubine, her only daughter Princess Zhuang Jing and Shuo died of illness at the age of 31.
In August of the 25th year of Jiaqing, the Daoguang Emperor, who had just succeeded to the throne, posthumously made Liu Shi's eldest son (that is, Daoguang's eldest brother) the Prince of Mu County, and four months later, Liu Shi was honored as the imperial concubine of the Imperial Examination. In this way, the Liu family completed the transformation from a slave to an imperial concubine, but all this may be beneficial to the Liu family, but for herself, it is no longer meaningful:
"Pushing grace is close. Fang Hui is written by Tong Min. Teeth come first. Shunde Yunzhao in Ziling. Style Yi Dian . Sealed with Ben Chong. Emperor Kao's noble concubine Liu Jiashi. Yi Quality Rouge. Wanxin Di zhe. It is both dry and resolute. Beneficial body Sunda to contain chapters. Xiangqi cultivators have years. Diligent Garnet Pavilion. Bong ChenGuang was in his early years. Shen Xi pepper coating. Follow the text of the manifest number. Use the set to be celebrated. The beauty of the book's strategy and wisdom. Chin Ling hopes to be in the middle of nowhere. Happy Birthday Celebration. Jie Jia Xiang yu do not substitute. Hereby honor him as a noble concubine of the Imperial Examination Andi Emperor. Yu drama. Coat appearance. The Book of the Jade Seal of Guangzhao. Crane hair hanging type. The word of the Rainbow Letter. Sincerely. ”
Moreover, after entering the Daoguang Dynasty, Liu's health was getting worse and worse, and at the end of Daoguang's thirteenth year, it had reached a state of accumulation and difficulty in returning, and on the eighteenth day of this month, Liu's condition suddenly worsened, and the Daoguang Emperor immediately ordered Liu to be moved to the Ji'an Institute outside the palace.
Under normal circumstances, only after the death of the imperial concubine, it will be moved to Ji'an for funeral charity, but Liu Shi has not yet lost his breath, and the Daoguang Emperor hastened to move it outside the palace, which shows that Daoguang does not have much respect for this former emperor concubine.
Moreover, after Liu's death in Ji'an, the Daoguang Emperor actually ordered that he did not wear plain clothes, as usual, in fact, in the final analysis, it was because Liu's origin was not good, if Liu came from a famous manchurian family, I believe that The attitude of the Daoguang Emperor would never be so.
On the evening of December 18, 13, Daoguang, Liu Died of Illness at Ji'an At the age of 73, and was honored as a noble concubine of Emperor Heyu. On September 18, 15th year of Daoguang, The Noble Concubine of Emperor Heyu was buried in the Changling Concubine Garden.
Zichen said:
In fact, with such a wrapped birth as Emperor Yu's concubine, it was already very rare to have such a life, and she herself knew this very well. However, people are pursuing perfection, if the eldest son of the emperor born to Emperor Yu's concubine can live, and her birth can be better, I believe that the Daoguang Emperor's attitude towards her will be different: life is like this, always can not be perfect, always have some regrets, this is the real life.
