In the history of the Qing Dynasty, all the empresses who were ordained, either from the Mongolian foreign domains or from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, rarely had a woman from the Interior Ministry, but except for one person, she was the only original empress who gave birth to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty: Empress Xiaoshurui.
Known as the "Uncle's Family", the Hitara clan
Manchuria has an ancient surname, the Hitara clan, the ancestor of this family is named Angguo Duli Bayan, Angguo Duli Bayan has a total of seven sons, the eldest son is Dulijin, Dulijin has a considerable position in The Jurchen society, the world is called Dudu, her granddaughter is Empress Zuzhi of Qingxing (Nurhaci's great-grandfather Fuman's Fujin), and her granddaughter is Nurhaci's biological mother, Empress Xianzuxing, therefore, the Hitara clan was very respected during the Nurhaci and Emperor Taiji periods, known as the "Uncle Family", and was appointed to guard the Yongling Tomb and exempted from taxes. However, most of the Hitara clan did not enter the pass from the dragon, so they also lost the opportunity to improve their status as flag bearers.
However, atta, the grandson of Sabitu, the fifth son of Angguo Duli Bayan, was fortunate enough to enter the pass from the dragon and was incorporated into the White Banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although he was a slave in the cloak, he was given the opportunity to get close to Tianyan.
Until the early years of Qianlong, a big figure appeared in the Atta branch of the Xita clan, he was the scholar of the dynasty Laibao, and the origin of Laibao also made this Hitara clan carry from the white flag of the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner in the sixth year of Qianlong. This Laibao was the cousin of Empress Xiaoshurui.
Prince Fujin, who married into the Forbidden City
At the beginning of the thirty-ninth year of the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong ordered the Eight Banners Draft to be held, and the Hitara clan (Empress XiaoShurui), who was running as the daughter of the Zhengbai Banner, was taken aback by Qianlong and immediately pointed it out to the fifteenth Brother Yongyan as a concubine Fujin.
In fact, before that, Yongyan had been secretly appointed as the crown prince by Qianlong, so this draft was actually choosing the future empress of the Qing Dynasty, and it was obvious that it was no accident that the empress's position would be spent on the Hitara family.
Moreover, Qianlong's marriage this time also has the suspicion of hiding the candidates for the crown prince, for example, the eleventh Ago Yongxuan Fujin is the daughter of the university scholar Fu Heng, the twelve Brother Yongxuan Fujin is the daughter of the Mongolian prince Borjigit, and the seventeenth Brother Yongxuan Fujin is the daughter of the famous general Arigun, Niu Hulu, compared with these, the "slave" label on the ancestors of the Hitara clan undoubtedly lowers his status. In this way, it was difficult for the minister to guess the candidate for the crown prince in Qianlong's heart.
She was only the Empress of the Qing Dynasty for one year
Although the Hitara clan was of lower origin than the above princes Fu Jin, this family was respected by the royal family in the early Qing Dynasty and was called the "Uncle Family". Moreover, the Xitara clan had already been carried into the Shangsan Banner as early as the early years of Qianlong, and the uncle of the Xitara clan, Laibao, was also a red man around Qianlong, so Yongyan was relatively satisfied with this Concubine Fujin.
It is said that in the sixth year after the marriage of Yongyan and The Bitara clan, they had their own child, that is, the second daughter of the emperor, and two years later (the forty-seventh year of Qianlong), the Hitara clan gave birth to a second son for Yong Yan, named Mianning, who was the later Daoguang Emperor.
In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong, the Hitara clan gave birth to a fourth daughter (Princess Zhuang Jinggulun), but the continuous births caused the Hitara clan to gradually lose blood and qi to the point of disorder of the moon letter, and the next year the Hitara clan experienced a small birth, which made her body gradually weaken and lay the hidden danger for her early death.
In the first month of the first year of Jiaqing, Yongyan the Prince of Jia inherited the throne of the Qing Dynasty, and subsequently, the Hitara clan was made the Empress of the Great Qing Dynasty, jujingren Palace. However, what people did not expect was that only one year later, the Empress of the Qing Dynasty died in the Forbidden City at the age of 38. Since Emperor Qianlong was still alive at that time, Jiaqing did not hold a funeral for his wife, which also became a regret in Jiaqing's life.
The brother-in-law who was forgiven by the Jiaqing Emperor
Because the Hitara clan was the original match of the Jiaqing Emperor and the empress of the Qing Dynasty, the Hitara clan was highly valued by the royal family, and the father of the Hitara clan and Er Jing'e were posthumously awarded the title of Third Rank Cheng'en Duke, and the eldest brother of the Hitara clan, Sheng, held three positions, namely Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Du Tong.
However, this Shengzhu embezzled 90,000 taels of silver when he was supervising the repair of Jiaqing Changling, and if he had changed others, it is estimated that he would have lost his head a long time ago, but considering that Shengzhu was the eldest brother of the Hitara clan, the Jiaqing Emperor sent him to serve in the Urumqi Army, and later gave a deputy capital official position pension, which can be said to be extremely lenient.
