In ancient society, the internal political struggles within the royal family were frequent, full of deceit and bloody rain, and even many people ended up with a dead body. In the Qing Dynasty, there was an empress who gave birth to three children, but the whole family, including this empress, ended up being purged, and this empress was the Empress Of Gong dynasty.
In fact, Empress Gundai was not an empress in the traditional sense of the Qing Dynasty, because she did not receive the honorific title of the imperial family, nor did she have the title of empress, and Empress Gongdai was only a title for her in later generations. According to records, the empress dowager of The Gong Dynasty was surnamed Fu Cha and was named Gun Dai, and her father Mang Se Du Zhu Hu was a famous chieftain of Jianzhou in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, when there were often contradictions and conflicts between the various departments of Jianzhou, Mang Se Du Zhu Hu and his five sons all lost their lives in the confrontation with the Ming army, and Gun Dai survived because he married the Ai Xin Jue Luo family.
In fact, in the beginning, Gundai's husband was not Nurhaci, but Nurhaci's cousin, named Qi Zhun. Gundai's husband Qi Zhun died very early, and at that time there was a custom in Manchuria for "brothers to die and their wives to their sisters-in-law", so Gundai took his son Aung Ala and remarried to Nurhaci.
Although Gundai was once a woman, she was favored by Nurhaci, and soon after her marriage, she sat on the seat of Nurhaci Daifujin, that is, she was a stepfather. At that time, Nurhaci was in a difficult stage of entrepreneurship, and Gundai played the role of a sage.
For example, in 1593, when the nine-part coalition led by Yehebu invaded Jianzhou, on the night before the war, Nurhaci slept soundly in the military tent, and Gundai on the side asked if he was frightened, and Nurhaci said that he had already made up his mind and would sleep peacefully. This incident can reflect the harmonious conjugal relationship between Nurhaci and Gundai at that time.
In addition, Gundai also gave birth to three children in succession for Nurhaci, namely the fifth son Mang Gultai, the third daughter Mang Guji, and the tenth son Derg. However, at the same time that the Gun Dynasty reached its peak, Nurhaci married Menggu Zhezhe of Yehebu, a very good Manchurian woman, who was gentle and virtuous, dignified and generous, which made Nurhaci linger, and Menggu Zhezhe also gave birth to Nurhaci's eighth son, Emperor Taiji. At this time, the Gun Dynasty gradually became old and yellow, and soon after, the Gun Dynasty fell out of favor.
Later, Nurhaci had another woman by his side, and she was Dorgon's birth mother, Abbahai, who, although young, was very scheming and beautiful, and soon sat in the seat of the grand concubine.
In 1620, a major incident occurred within Houjin, in which Gundai was abandoned by Nurhaci for the crime of stealing gold veils, but unexpectedly, Mang Gultai, who was bent on asking for credit in front of his father, pointed a butcher knife at his mother and brutally killed his mother.
After Nurhaci's death, the eighth son, Emperor Taiji, took the Khanate and became the new Great Khan, known as Tiancong Khan. After Emperor Taiji succeeded to the throne, he was bent on achieving the position of sitting alone in the south. So he aimed the spearhead at Mang Gultai, one of the four great belles, and in a war, Mang Gultai actually drew his sword in front of Huang Taiji, which made Huang Taiji very angry and immediately cut off his title, and soon Mang Gultai died of a violent illness.
In the ninth year of Tiancong (1635), Mang Guertai's sister Mang Guzige's subordinate Leng Monk Ji accused Mang Guertai and Dege of having sworn to rebel, and after a series of investigations, the title of Mang Guertai brother was posthumously stripped, and he was deposed from the clan and demoted from yellow belt to red belt, and Mang Gultai's sister Mang Guzige was even executed by order of Emperor Taiji.
In the end, none of Gundai himself and her three sons and daughters ended well, and the most serious internal struggle in the imperial family during the Tiancong period ended with the great victory of Emperor Taiji, from then on, Emperor Taiji achieved the status of sitting alone in the south, and in the next year he became emperor, established the Great Qing Kingdom, and changed the era name to Chongde.
