Emperor Taiji had a total of fifteen concubines, including six concubines, that is, concubines, namely concubines Yanza, Concubine Nala, Concubine Ilgenjue Luo, Concubine Keyler, Concubine Saiyin Noyan (also known as Que), and Concubine Qilei. The deeds of these six concubines are relatively few, and the status of the children born to them is relatively low, as we talked about as concubine Yan Za, the remaining five people, just say the last one, she is the last concubine of the Emperor Taiji: Concubine Qilei.
A woman from a conquered tribe
The Chilei clan was the daughter of a nobleman from the Chahar clan, and her father's name was UljiTugu Inssan.
Regarding the Chahar tribe, as we have already said above, the Chahar tribe is one of the most famous tribes in Mongolia, known as the Central Ten Thousand Households of Mongolia, and was a direct subordinate tribe of the Great Khan of Mongolia in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a young hero in the Chahar Department, he was Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan inherited the Khan's throne at the age of 13, and then, under his leadership, the Chahar Department gradually grew and made the five Inner Khalkha departments submit.
At the same time, the Jianzhou Jurchens in the northeast rose up and became the main enemy of Lin Dan Khan, in this case, there was bound to be a big war between the Chahar Department and the Jianzhou Jurchens. After Emperor Taiji succeeded to the throne of Later Jin Khan, he launched three wars against Lin Dan Khan, forcing Lin Dan Khan to move west, and finally, this indispensable tyrant died of illness in Dacaotan, Qinghai.
After the death of Lin Dan Khan, most of his Fujins submitted to Houjin, and Batma and Namuzhong were successively incorporated into the harem by Emperor Taiji, who subsequently proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing and established the Great Qing Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, more and more Mongol tribes chose to submit, of course, there were the remnants of the Chahar clan, the father of the Qilei clan, Qile Jitugu Yingsasang, was one of them, and in the fifth year of Chongde (1640), Chenle Jitugu Yingsasang led the people to submit to the imperial court, and dedicated their daughter Qilei to the Emperor Taiji, and the Qilei clan became a concubine of the Emperor Taiji, that is, Xiao Fujin.
The most famous princess of the Qing Dynasty
When the Qi lei clan was included in the harem by Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji was nearly half a hundred years old (49 years old), but he still favored the Qi Lei clan, and the stomach of the Qi Lei clan was also very contentious, and in 1641, the fourteenth daughter of the Emperor Taiji and the youngest daughter of the Emperor Taiji, that is, Princess Heshuo Ke Chunchang, she also had a title: Princess Jianning.
In the Luding Chronicle, Princess Jianning is described as Kangxi's younger sister, which is actually wrong, in fact, Princess Jianning is the daughter of Emperor Taiji, that is, Kangxi's aunt, and this princess has a nice name: Ajig.
When Princess Jianning was three years old, her father Emperor Taiji died, and subsequently, the Shunzhi Emperor succeeded to the throne, and Princess Jianning followed her brother Dingding to Beijing and lived in the golden forbidden city.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the south relied more on the surrendered Ming generals, such as Kong Youde, Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi. Of course, in order to contain them, it was necessary to keep their sons in the Capital Division, and Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong was one of them.
In the tenth year of Shunzhi (1653), the Shunzhi Emperor married his 13-year-old sister Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong, although this was a purely political marriage, the two were still relatively affectionate, and Princess Jianning gave birth to Wu Yingxiong's eldest son Wu Shilin in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi.
The fate of the princess of sorrow
After Kangxi succeeded to the throne, San Fan gradually became a major problem for the imperial court, for which the Kangxi Emperor had been preparing to cut the domain, but unexpectedly, Wu Sangui raised the banner of anti-Qing in the thirteenth year of Kangxi. After Wu Sangui rebelled, the Qing court immediately imprisoned Wu Yingxiong and his eldest son Wu Shilin, who lived in Jingshi, and then executed them, while Princess Jianning and Wu Yingxiong's other children were imprisoned in the palace.
Twenty years after kangxi, after eight years, San Francisco was pacified, and then the Kangxi Emperor ordered that the two youngest sons born to Princess Jianning be killed, and Wu Yingxiong's other sons beheaded and abandoned the city. Now that San Francisco had been pacified, Princess Jianning had been released from confinement, but all three of her sons had been executed.
According to historical records, in addition to Wu Shilin and her two young sons, Princess Jianning also bore Wu Yingxiong two daughters, one married to Nurhaci's son Tabai's great-grandson and fengguo general Gartu, and the other to the son of Guo Zhuangtu (Wu Sangui's son-in-law).
After San Francisco was pacified, Princess Jianning did not remarry anyone else, and she spent another 23 Spring and Autumn seasons in the palace, and finally died in the forty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty at the age of 63.
Zichen said:
Concubine Qilei was the last concubine of the Emperor Taiji and one of the inconspicuous ones, but she received attention because of her daughter. However, Princess Jianning, born to the Qilei clan, became the most tragic princess of the Qing Dynasty, and throughout her life, she was subject to political marriage, and in the end she only received an official sacrifice document that was dispensable.
