The emperor had 4 empresses in his lifetime, 67 concubines alone, and he was buried with him after his death

The kangxi emperor who reigned the longest in the history of the Qing Dynasty was naturally the Kangxi Emperor, who of course began to build his own huge mausoleum before his death, hoping that he would be able to have a place to live a hundred years later. Later generations fully understood the structure of the Kangxi Mausoleum, but they felt extremely envious, because inside the underground palace, they found that there were 4 empresses and 67 important concubines accompanying Kangxi to spend days and nights in the dark mausoleum.

Prior to this, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty often chose to complete the final farewell by cremation, and Kangxi was the last emperor to inherit this system. In fact, throughout Kangxi's life, he was full of many legends, from the age of 14, he was able to wrestle with the Aobai who covered the sky with one hand in the middle of the country, and finally succeeded in seizing the power in his hands.

The majestic Kangxi had an extremely unfortunate childhood, his father The Shunzhi Emperor loved only Dong Efei all his life, and when the concubine died, he also had the idea of renunciation, but eventually died prematurely because of excessive thoughts, and could only push the 8-year-old Kangxi to the throne in a hurry.

In order to be able to complete the task of passing on the succession, Kangxi married the young empress at the age of 12, after which the empress unfortunately suffered a difficult birth and lost her life when giving birth to the crown prince Yin, and the newborn Yinrong became the most important prince in Kangxi's eyes, and immediately made him the crown prince who inherited the unification.

Before that, Kangxi had been surrounded by countless beautiful and elegant concubines, and his personality was extremely charming. He often pampered the newly entered concubines. However, after the death of the empress, Kangxi realized that what he loved most in his heart was actually the empress Hersheri who accompanied him all the way, but he could only give his regretful love to the prince. When the empress died, the war on the front line was very urgent, but Kangxi still deliberately set aside 20 days for the empress to guard the spirit, which shows how deep Kangxi's love for the empress is.

Kangxi gave all his efforts to the crown prince, hoping that he would inherit his important throne. Of course, the crown prince was very intelligent and quite popular with Kangxi from an early age, but when he grew up, he was deeply involved in the power struggle in the imperial palace, and the position of prince was also abolished twice. Later, Kangxi became his own empress, and Kangxi, who knew that he was getting older, assigned his concubines to the palace as maids, hoping to make the best use of them.

I believe that many people are curious about how many harem beauties there were in the life of the mercurial Kangxi, according to the history books, there were nearly 67 concubines with higher status, and the lower status reached hundreds. Before Kangxi's coffin was placed in the mausoleum, two empresses who had died prematurely were already lying quietly in the underground palace. Later, a succession of concubines and two other empresses were put into the underground palace to accompany the deceased Kangxi Emperor.
