Most of the princesses of ancient dynasties carried a great mission, that is, to be close to each other and become the link between the countries. Generally speaking, the places where they marry are remote areas, but the princesses are very knowledgeable and will not hesitate to marry far away, however, there is a princess in the Qing Dynasty who refuses to marry far away to Mongolia and is almost executed by the emperor, this princess is Princess Heshuo Duanrou.
It is said that the Yongzheng Emperor had four biological daughters, but only the second daughter, Princess Heshuo Huaike, survived, and, at the time of Yongzheng's succession, Princess Heshuo Huaike was no longer alive, so Yongzheng adopted three daughters, namely Princess Heshuo Shushen, the daughter of the deposed prince Yinrong, the daughter of Prince Zhuang Yinlu, and princess Shuo Duanrou, the daughter of Yinxiang the Prince of Yi.
In contrast, Yongzheng's favorite is of course Yinxiang's daughter Princess Heshuo and Hui, after all, Yinxiang is Yongzheng's most valued brother, however, this Princess Heshuo Duanrou is not less than much, and her status in the palace is no less than that of Princess Heshuo and Hui.
Princess Heshuo Duanrou was the eldest daughter of Prince Zhuang Yinlu, her mother was Yinlu Fujin Guo Luoluoshi, her father was the King of the Great Qing Iron Hat, and her mother was Consort Fujin, which gave Princess Duanrou a unique advantage.
At the beginning of Yongzheng's succession, he took yinlu's eldest daughter to the palace to raise, the superior growth environment, coupled with Yongzheng's doting, so that Princess Duanrou developed a spicy and brutal personality from an early age, and the princess was also very intelligent, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can be described as proficient in everything, even mathematical physics, she has involved in hunting, which is very rare for ancient women.
However, the reason why Yongzheng adopted Princess Duanrou as an adopted daughter, in addition to showing favor to his brothers, there was also an important factor that was pro-Mongol. Therefore, in the fifth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng decided to marry Princess Duanrou to the Mongolian Horqin, and the donkey was Zimmert Dorji, the son of Lobzang Rashi, the king of the Zasak Doro County of the Horqin Tribe.
The Horqin tribe was the mother-in-law of Empress Xiaozhuang, a tribe that had been married to the Manchu Qing royal family since nurhaci, and Lobzang Rush was a very important county king of the left wing rear banner of the Horqin tribe, who repeatedly accompanied the Qing army to conquer the Dzungar tribe, and it is clear that Yongzheng married Princess Duanrou to Horqin, also for the stability of the frontier of the Qing Dynasty.
However, Princess Duanrou was unwilling to marry into a remote and desolate place far away from Jingshi, so she refused to marry far away with Yongzheng's doting, and cried for three days and three nights. How could Yongzheng be an emperor of such means, and how could he have come from this adopted daughter Hu? So he imprisoned Princess Duanrou in a small black house, claiming that if she did not marry, she would die. After some ideological struggle, Princess Duanrou still felt that her life was more precious, so she agreed to marry far away.
However, Princess Duanrou also put forward conditions, that is, to bring more domestic slaves and more enclosures, and for these requirements, Yongzheng did not hesitate to agree to this daughter. Subsequently, Princess Heshuo Duanrou married far away to the Horqin Department, and it is said that when she got married, she brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures and slaves, and when she arrived at the Horqin Department, she saw that the good land was occupied, and her arrogance was very arrogant.
Moreover, the younger sister of Princess Heshuo Duanrou, the fourth daughter of Prince Yinlu of Zhuang, and the lord of Heshuo County, also married to the Horqin Department, and the life span of both sisters was not very long, and Princess Heshuo Duanrou only lived for 41 years and died in the nineteenth year of Qianlong.
It is worth mentioning that Princess Heshuo Duanrou has a more famous descendant, he is the famous Mongolian Iron Hat Prince Monk Greenqin in the late Qing Dynasty, according to the generation, the monk Greenqin is the nephew of Princess Heshuo Duanrou.
