The imperial family of the Qing Dynasty had a special yamen called the Interior Ministry, which had three flags and was a slave who specialized in serving the imperial family. Among them, the relatively low identity is the wrapped pipe collar, that is, we often say that the Xinzhiku people. However, most of the Xinzhiku people are not naturalized by crimes, many of them are native Xinzhiku people, and some families are also deeply respected by the emperor and hold some relatively high official positions.
Today's article is going to talk about the first concubine of the Qing Dynasty who was born in Xinzhiku and was given the title of concubine, she is a good concubine.
In some such works as "Palace? In film and television dramas such as "Lock Heart Jade" and "Step by Step", it is unanimously believed that Liangfei is from a very low birth, but this is not the case. According to historical records, Concubine Liang's great-grandfather, named Huzhu, was subordinated to the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Taiji, and was incorporated into the Head of the Yellow Banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and served as the head of the dining room.
Moreover, many members of the Liangfei family also had resumes as bodyguards in the palace, and from this point of view, Liangfei was not much different from Defei and Minfei. That is to say, the birth of a good concubine is not as bad as imagined.
In the fourteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the 13-year-old Wei Shi (Liang Concubine) participated in the palace women's draft, and she was successfully selected to become a palace maid in the harem. In addition to being outstanding, the qing dynasty palace women also had to have certain embroidery skills and literacy skills, otherwise they could only do some rough work. Obviously, Wei Shi was a woman of national color and cleverness, so she would be favored by Kangxi in the midst of a kaleidoscope of flowers.
When Wei was 19 years old, she gave birth to a young prince for the Heavenly Son of the Dynasty, ranking eighth, and named Yin Yu. However, at the kangxi canonization ceremony that year, there was no Wei name, and the four concubines who were canonized as concubines were Hui, Yi, De, and Rong. Obviously, these four were the most beautiful women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty at that time.
Moreover, according to the palace rules at that time, the Wei clan did not have the right to raise children, Yin Yu was given to huifei Nala clan to raise after birth, even if there were thousands of reluctances, Wei shi also had to watch the departure of her son, she only hoped that her son could grow up safely, there was nothing else to ask for.
It turns out that Yin Yu far exceeded the expectations of his mother Wei Shi, he was clever and clever, deeply loved by his father Kangxi, at the age of 15, he followed his father to fight in Dzungar, and at the age of 18, he was named Baylor, becoming the youngest prince to be knighted at that time, which can be described as full of spirits. Under the honor of his mother and son, the Wei clan was also able to be made a concubine in the twenty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and held a canonization ceremony in the thirty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty.
After Wei Shi was canonized as a good concubine, she should have had another experience of canonization, but this time there was no record, and it may have been artificially deleted. However, it is an indisputable fact that Wei Shi became a good concubine, and as a result, she also became the first woman in the Qing Dynasty to be named a concubine from Xinzhiku.
However, unexpectedly, in the middle and late Kangxi Dynasty, Wei's son Yin Yu gathered a large number of supporters around himself to form the Eight Ye Party, posing a great threat to the prince. Although Crown Prince Yinrong was deposed twice by Kangxi, Yinrong also killed a thousand enemies and lost 800, and was eventually excluded by Kangxi from the list of heirs to the throne.
The son was hopeless to compete for the throne, but the mother could not help anything, after all, there was still a big gap between the Wei family and those Eight Banners, under this, the Wei family was depressed, and finally died of illness in the fifty years of Kangxi at the age of 50.
However, Kangxi did not snub wei because of his dissatisfaction with Yin, and he personally presided over the first full moon ceremony ceremony of concubine Liang, which was very rare for Kangxi concubines, which showed that Wei had a certain place in Kangxi's heart. However, the Si people have passed away, and everything will eventually become a thing of the past, and then The Liang Concubine Wei clan is buried in the Kangxi Jing Mausoleum Garden.
As for Wei's son Yin Yu, he was more miserable, he not only failed to compete for the throne, but later he was imprisoned and killed by Yongzheng, becoming a veritable fallen prince.
