As we all know, Qianlong had a strong plot of concubines, bent on passing the throne to his concubines, but the two concubines born to Empress Xiaoxian, Yonglian and Yongxuan, died one after another. Later, the Nala clan also gave birth to a concubine, he was the twelve brothers Yong Xuan, yong xuan became Qianlong's only adult concubine, but the fate of Qianlong's concubine was really a bit miserable...
On April 25, 1777, the Nala clan gave birth to the twelve brothers Yongxuan at Yikun Palace, when Qianlong was very happy, and when he heard the news, he immediately rushed to the empress's palace to visit, and soon Qianlong wrote a poem celebrating the birth of the prince:
"Seeing that the dynasty has prepared the ceremony, it is necessary to make a heavy celebration." Heaven is blessed with rain, and Ci shou ning is warm and clear. It is called Shunshi, and it is only beneficial to accept it. The better the scenery on the lake, the clearer the landscape. The willow waves are more windy, and the clouds fly and swim in the river. Taste the body, cherish the yin and encourage the diligent government. ”
The mother of Yongxuan, Nala, was a side Fujin of Qianlong's original subterranean residence, and she succeeded her as empress dowager after the death of Empress Xiaoxian, becoming the mother of a country. Although the Nala clan was not very favored before, since becoming empress, she was favored by Qianlong and gave birth to three children, and Yong Xuan was the first child born to the Nala clan. Moreover, at that time, Qianlong had no surviving concubines, and it should be said that if there were no accidents, Yong Xuan was very likely to inherit the throne.
However, twenty years after Qianlong, Qianlong turned his attention to Concubine Ling, who was favored, gave birth to six children, and was made a noble concubine in the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, becoming the greatest threat to the Nala clan. During this period, the conjugal feelings between Qianlong and the Nala clan also underwent a quiet change, and the original love between you and me gradually dissipated, waiting for a straw to crush it.
Qianlong's fourth tour of the south in the 30th year, followed by the Nala clan made a shocking move, privately cutting off their hair, violating the Manchukuo taboo, which made Qianlong very angry, first sent the frontal donkey Fu Long'an to send the Nala clan back to the palace in advance, and then beat it into the cold palace, only one year later, the Nala clan died tragically in the cold palace. (Note: The location of the Cold Palace may be the apse of Yikun Palace)
As for the reason for the subsequent haircut of the Nala clan, the main history is not recorded, and the wild history is rumored that Qianlong wanted to crown someone as a concubine (imperial concubine), perhaps the empress was hit and made a helpless move. In fact, this is just a speculation, the empress has no right to interfere with the emperor's concubines, so this possibility is not very likely.
The author believes that the subsequent nala haircut may have a lot to do with the crown prince.
After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he continued to adopt the secret reserve system founded by his father Yongzheng, and had previously secretly appointed the second brother Yonglian as the crown prince, but Yonglian died early, and after the birth of the seventh brother Yongqing, Qianlong also had the intention of establishing a reserve, but before the trip was completed, Yongzhen died in a hurry. Although Qianlong had not yet secretly established a reserve again at that time, judging from some clues, the storage position had gradually drifted away from the Twelve Brothers Yongxuan.
Before Qianlong's thirty-year tour of the south, Qianlong selected Concubine Fujin for the twelve Brother Yongxuan, who were the daughters of the Mongol Abaga Right Banner Zasak Commandery King Sonomu Rabutan. Although the Borjigit clan has always been married to the royal family, since the Kangxi Dynasty, few Borjigit women have been elected to the harem, let alone been made empress, and Qianlong's marriage this time actually sentenced Yong Xuan to a certain extent to lose the qualification for the succession to the throne.
Narasimha, who has always been sensitive and familiar with politics, could not have failed to smell it, which is why he made a surprising move. Of course, this is just a guess, no matter what, after that, Nala became the most frustrated woman in the Qianlong harem, falling from the peak into the abyss.
Along with the Nara clan, there was actually her son, the Twelve Ago Yong xuan.
If it is said that before Qianlong's thirty-year southern tour, Yong Xuan still had the possibility of inheriting the throne, then after the Nala clan fell out of favor, this possibility became zero. Since then, Yong Xuan has changed from an empress concubine to the son of a manchurian sinner, and his identity has plummeted.
In the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong, the Yongxuan wedding, which had been postponed for four years because of the death of the Nala clan, was still staged as scheduled, presumably, the mood of the Borjigit clan was very complicated, but the emperor pointed out that marriage, where there was no reason to follow, in this way, the Borjigit clan would live and die with Yong xuan.
Yong Xuan was already twenty years old when he got married, although it was a good year, but his body was getting weaker and weaker in the long-term mental repression, the snub of his father, the helplessness of his wife, coupled with the cold pair of the whole palace, all of this crushed Yong Xuan, Qianlong forty-one years old, just 25 years old Yong Xuan died of illness, Qianlong ordered the funeral to be treated by the patriarchal public law, and buried him in Zhu Huashan's garden bed, the garden bed rules were very low.
Poor Yong Xuan, whether before or after his death, did not receive a decent title, which was the royal ruthlessness, and eight years later, her concubine Fujin Borjigit also passed away, and was buried with Yong Xuan in the garden after death.
"The Fifteenth Son of the Fifty-Year Emperor of Qianlong (i.e., the Jiaqing Emperor) Has a Feeling of Sleeping in the Garden of the Twelve Brothers"
It has been ten years since the days of others, and the night platform has finally locked the cold smoke. A lifetime of hard work depends on who pays, and the hand is left in the broken chapter. The wind and rain book window recalls the old feelings, and also thinks about listening to the rain for three lifetimes. Brother Seventeen was very sparse, and he could not bear to see the long heavens and geese. (Seventeen brothers, five today!) ）
