Kangxi's Second Empress Jingling - Empress Xiaozhaoren, Niu Hulu clan, Manchurian Yellow Banner people, date of birth unknown, her grandfather was the founding ming chancellor Ofe Yidu in the early Qing Dynasty, after her death, she was enfeoffed as the Duke of Hongyi, worthy of the Great Temple, and her father Shu Bilong was also a general who made many military achievements, and was deeply trusted by the Shunzhi Emperor and was one of the four auxiliary ministers.
Empress Xiaozhao was a concubine in the palace of her young age. In the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1674), Empress Xiaocheng died, the Middle Palace was vacant, and the Empress Dowager was also known as Xiaozhuang
After repeated thinking and careful selection, it is believed that the Niu Hulu clan is "Zhong Xiang clan, Yu Xiu famous door, gentle temperament, and marriage etiquette." Rou Jia Biao Fan, Su Zhao Ling reputation in the palace court; Yongsu holds his body, and allows the mother to be in China and abroad" (Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, vol. 68), which can be established as a successor.
On August 22, 1677, the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty ,1677 ), the Qing court sent the university scholar Suo Ertu as the main envoy, and tu Li Wei as the deputy envoy of the university, and officially established Niu Hulu as empress.
Unexpectedly, hongyan died of a short life, and the Niuhulu clan had only been empress for half a year, and died of illness at Kunning Palace on February 26 of the following year.
If it is estimated according to the same age as the Kangxi Emperor, he is only 25 years old.
The Kangxi Emperor died two empresses in a row within five years, and his mood was particularly depressed, and he still quit the dynasty for five days to treat the funeral.
Because it was at a critical juncture in quelling the Rebellion in San Francisco, the Kangxi Emperor ordered that the civil and military officials of the provinces directly under the direct subordination be exempted from gathering to mourn, to serve and to send officials to incense. The generals of all ranks and their wives were exempt from mourning clothes.
Two days after the empress's death, the Zi Palace was moved from Kunning Palace to Wuying Hall. On March 25, the Gonghuacheng Funeral Palace was moved from the Wuying Hall. On the twenty-first day of the leap month of the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1678), at the Gonghuacheng Funeral Palace, the "Empress Xiaozhao", the "Empress Xiaozhao", the "Loving Kindness and Love of the Day, the Holy Wen Zhaoda Rizhao", praised the Niuhulu clan.
On the eighth day of the eighth month of the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1681), Empress Xiaozhao and Empress Xiaocheng were buried at the same time as jingling officials. Empress Xiaozhao was infertile.
It can be seen from this that although they both had the intention of co-opting with the families of the two empresses, the first empress gave birth to two princes for Kangxi, who died in childbirth, and the second did not give birth, and the canonization was also the meaning of Filial Piety, kangxi favored the first Empress Hesheri even more.
After the three dynasties of Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing were added together, their full titles were "Xiao Zhaojing Shuming Huizheng and An Yuduan Muqin Tianshun Shengren Empress".
