According to the imperial rules of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's mausoleum can only be buried together with the emperor, that is to say, only the emperor is generally buried in the imperial tomb, but this rule was changed by Yongzheng, and the imperial concubine was also allowed to be buried in the imperial tomb after the Yongzheng emperor, so that the imperial tomb became a joint burial place for the emperor, the empress and the imperial concubine.
However, in the palace, there are three palaces, six courts and seventy-two concubines, and the emperor has noble concubines, concubines in addition to the empress and the imperial concubines... Wait for a series of women, where are these women buried? After they died, they were buried in one place, which was the concubine's garden near the imperial tomb. In other words, concubines are buried in the concubine garden bed, and there will be no men, but the strange thing is that in the concubine garden bed of the Jingling (Kangxi Mausoleum), we actually saw the tombstone of a prince. Who is this little prince?
It is said that although there are many sons of Kangxi, there are few who are valued by him, and the prince Yinrong can be counted as one, and the later eighteen brothers Yinyuan are also counted as one. Yin's mother, Wang Shi, was a Han woman who later became Kangxi's Shunyi concubine, and after gaining favor, gave birth to three dragon descendants for Kangxi, of which eighteen brothers Yin gong were the most favored by Kangxi.
Although Yin Gong was young but very clever, Kangxi often accompanied him even when he went on a tour, who knew that in May of the 47th year of Kangxi, that is, during a foreign inspection when the Kangxi Emperor was 55 years old, Yin Gong died unexpectedly. According to the records at that time, what he had should be just an ordinary inflammation, which may not be an incurable disease for modern medicine, but ancient medicine was not so advanced, and the imperial doctor at that time was completely unable to deal with Yin's illness, and Yin's life ended when he was eight years old.
The odds of the prince dying early were very high in the Qing Dynasty, and Yin Gong was just a very ordinary member of it, so why did Kangxi deliberately arrange his cemetery in the concubine garden? Kangxi was in love with Wu and Wu, and because of the relationship between Shunyi's secret concubines, did he take such special care of Yin? This is not a high probability.
We looked at the Records of the Holy Ancestors and found a message about The Time of Yin's Death. It turned out that the ancient people were superstitious, thinking that if the life of a child was "rich", it would be difficult to feed, so many boys' names were called "A cat", "A dog" and the like, and at that time, Yin Gong was quite favored by Kangxi, just when he was sick, so Kangxi felt that if he continued to care about him, he would inevitably make the "heavens" think that he loved Yin Yuan, and this was not good for Yin Yuan, so in order to let Yin Gong survive, Kangxi specially issued a special holy will, the content of the holy will was "Allowing Him to be sick and useless, what is the relationship between a child and a child?" As for the decay, the worries of the empress dowager of the upper fear of the high-aged emperor and the lower are the hopes of the subjects of the world, and it is advisable to cut off love. The general meaning of this sentence is that Yin Yuan is just an ordinary child of Yuan, and there is nothing special about it, even if he dies of illness, it does not matter.
This sacred will is special on the surface to demean Yin Yuan, but in fact, he is afraid that his status will not last long, so the real intention is that Kangxi hopes to save Yin Yuan's life through this holy will. However, later Yin Gong really died of illness, and at this time Kangxi regretted it, so in order to express his guilt, he specially buried Yin Gong next to his mother, that is, Jingling Concubine Garden.
