In the early stages of Emperor Taiji's life, there were two important women, one was the Yuan Concubine Niu Hulu clan, and the other was the stepfather Uranara clan. Unfortunately, these two women did not end well, the Yuan Concubine Niu Hulu clan was abandoned by the Emperor Taiji for sin, and the stepfather Uranara clan disappeared directly and mysteriously, and today we will talk about the stepfather of the Emperor Taiji: the Uranara clan.
His father and brother died tragically in Wujie Rock
The Uranara clan comes from the Ula tribe of the four Jurchens of Haixi, and his father is Belle Bokdor of the Ula tribe.
With regard to the Urab, as we mentioned earlier, this tribe joined the nine-part coalition of the state in 1593, but was defeated by Nurhaci, and even Belbu Zhantai was captured. Later, the leader of the Ula tribe, Mantai, was killed, and Buzhantai, with the support of Jianzhou, returned to the Ula tribe and became the new chief, and the Ula tribe and The Jianzhou began to enter a honeymoon period.
In 1603, the Ula chief Buzhantai sent his niece Abahai to Jianzhou, and Abhay became nurhaci's woman. However, since then, the relationship between the Ula Tribe and the Jianzhou has begun to deteriorate.
In 1607, when the lord of the East China Sea Jurchen Varkhabe Feiyou City, Tse mu tekh, requested to be annexed to Jianzhou, Nurhaci sent his younger brother Shulhaqi and his sons Chu Ying and Daishan to greet him, but who knew that he was ambushed by Ulabu soldiers in the area of Wujieyan. Chu Ying and Dai Shan brothers fought bravely to kill the enemy and defeated the Ula Tribe, and Dai Shan also killed the main general of the Ula Tribe, Bo Ke Duo and Shuo Se father and son.
Yes, Bokduo, who was beheaded by Daishan in the Battle of Wujiyan, was the father of the Uranara clan, and Shuo se was the brother of the Uranara clan.
Married to Princess Ula of Jianzhou
After the Battle of Wujian, perhaps fearing revenge from Jianzhou, Buzhantai married the daughter of his uncle Bokduo, Uranara (Ulanara, Buzhantai's sister), to Nurhaci's eighth son, Emperor Taiji, in 1608.
At that time, Huang Taiji already had a Fujin, that is, the daughter of Eyidu, Niu Hulu, but he seemed to be quite interested in this Ula princess, and in the second year after marriage, the Ullanara clan gave birth to the eldest son of Huang Taiji and named him Hauge.
In 1612, Emperor Taiji Fu jin Niu Hulu clan passed by the residence of Great Belle Daishan and Azig by car, and also entered nurhaci's palace gate by car, and was severely reprimanded by Nurhaci, and the emperor Taiji abandoned the Niuhulu clan in a fit of anger. Subsequently, the Uranara clan replaced the Nyūrō clan and took the throne of the Emperor Taiji DafuJin.
Note: According to tradition, it is believed that it was the stepfather Uranara who was abandoned, which is actually wrong.
The Manchu Old Archives record:
Khan said, "In the beginning, I did not take the car, nor did Zhu Fujin take it." When jaisanggu's mother was present, she came to my house to feast, and came and went in a sedan car, so she died of such an evil sin. And the mother of Hauge, the sister of Chergyi, when she came to her father's house, took a mop bed through the door of the great brother and Azig, and also took the mop bed into my door. For his frivolous evil deeds, he was convicted and forsaken by his husband. Do not insult the new sister-in-law, the daughter-in-law, etc., and the sisters-in-law and the daughter-in-law should not insult the long-term like the blessings and blessings of the sins of the past. ”
According to this record, it was the "mother of Hauge, the sister of Cheergeyi", who was indeed the mother of Ullanara, but the sister of Chergyi was the Nyulla clan, and the "mother" in the mother of Hauge here is most likely the meaning of the mother of the concubine (the Nyūrīrīlī is Hauge's mother), so it is likely that the original Nyūrùrīlu clan was abandoned by the Emperor Taiji, not the Uranara clan.
This was also true, and later the Uranara clan gave birth to a second son, Log, and an eldest daughter (Princess Gulun Ao Han) to Emperor Taiji. In 1614, Emperor Taiji married Princess Zhezhe of the Mongolian Horqin Tribe, and at that time, the Uranara clan still welcomed her as a Great Fujin.
However, what is unexpected is that after the Uranara clan gave birth to the eldest daughter in 1621, she disappeared from the historical records, and in 1626, Emperor Taiji succeeded to the Khan's throne, and Dafujin had become a zhezhe. That is to say, Uranara disappeared between 1621 and 1626, where did she go?
The first possibility is that he died of illness, but judging from the attitude of Emperor Taiji not to posthumously honor him after he succeeded to the throne, it is not like the Uranara clan died of illness. The second possibility is that the Uranara clan may have been secretly killed by the Emperor Taiji.
In fact, the change of the Great Fu Jin in the early days of the Emperor Taiji was obviously in line with the political situation at that time, first of all, the original Niu Hulu clan from the internal nobles of Jianzhou was abandoned, followed by the mysterious disappearance of the Uranara clan, the daughter of the nobles from the Ula Tribe, and finally the zhezhe from the Mongolian Horqin Department, who came to the throne, and the change of the Great Fu Jin seems to have a human element to a certain extent. Seeing this, it is not difficult for us to guess the end of the Uranara clan, she is no longer suitable to sit in the seat of Daifukujin. According to Huang Taiji's style of doing things, it is not impossible to kill his wife. (Note: The Great Belledetsan also killed his wife and was not punished)
Fly out of the two phoenixes of the Uranara clan
The Uranara clan, in history, produced two empresses.
The first was the cousin niece of emperor Taiji's step-concubine Uranara.
This was Nurhaci's fourth concubine, Abahai, who had not been an empress during her lifetime, but had three sons of the wise gods, Azig, Dorgon, and Dodo. Later, Dorgon became the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and used his power to posthumously honor his mother Abhay as Empress Xiaoliewu, but after the Shunzhi Emperor took the throne, Abahai's title of empress was posthumously taken.
The second was Yongzheng's only empress, Empress Xiaojingxian.
Empress Xiaojingxian of the Uranara clan was also from the line of the lord of the Ula tribe, and according to the generation, she was the sister of Abhay and the niece of the Emperor Taiji's step-in-law Uranara. In contrast, the historical status of Empress Xiaojingxian is much higher.
Zichen said:
Although the emperor Taiji's stepfather Uranara clan was tragically killed by her husband's family, she was deeply loved by the emperor Taiji, however, the changes in the political situation made her disappear in the long river of history, and she got a missing ending, which really made people sigh and sigh for it!
