The Qianlong Emperor once "cultivated" a great corrupt official, But during his reign as emperor, he knew that He yan was a corrupt official, but he did not move in the slightest. Instead, he was left to his son Jiaqing to dispose of, and as a result, jiaqing immediately took the knife after he took the throne.
Since they are corrupt officials, they naturally have to be confiscated and killed when they are disposed of. However, Hezhen's treatment was good, and although he could not escape death, Jiaqing gave him dignity and gave him a white silk to make him commit suicide.
The reason why we want to mention Hezhen is not to discuss the end of Hezhen with you, but to discuss with you the whereabouts of the concubines in the Hezhen family. So, after Hezhen's family was raided and the family property was confiscated, what happened to the concubines in the family?
1. The situation of the wives and concubines in the Hezhen family.
In ancient times on the mainland, men could have three wives and four concubines. Especially for rich men, few concubines in the family will feel very faceless. As a famous corrupt official of the Qing Dynasty, He Yan can be said to have a million family wealth. In this case, he will certainly try to satisfy his selfish desires with money as much as possible. And the selfish desires mentioned here include lust, which is a kind of desire.
Even so, he would definitely take a lot of concubines into the house. Even if it is not too much, it cannot be said that there is not one. According to some data, He Yan had a total of one wife and eight concubines in this life, which can be regarded as a more popular figure among men. And whether it was his wife or his concubine, he seemed to have shown sincere feelings for them.
Especially for his wife Feng Shi, it can be said that he is the most attentive. Because Feng's grandfather was kind to Hezhen, Hezhen was both grateful to Feng's grandfather and grateful for Feng's favor. Therefore, even though he later married many concubines with Yan, his feelings for his wife were always very sincere. And after the death of his wife, there was no idea of letting people take her place. And when it comes to the feelings between him and the concubines, it can also be said that it is very deep.
For example, Chang Ergu, Wu Qingpi, Cardamom, Nalan, Black Peony, Xiaoying, Zi Yan, Mary, etc., have all won his heart. He not only provided them with enough luxury to live, but also gave them a home emotionally.
If it is subdivided, the origin of these concubines of Hezhen is really not simple. For example, Chang Ergu, Wu Qingpi, Cardamom and Nalan all belonged to the beauties that lower-level officials gave to Hezhen. It could even be said that before they could talk to Hezhen, some of them had been women of other officials. The origin of black peonies, small warblers, and ziyan is even more powerful, they are actually women from the palace.
It is said that washagins had already remembered them when they were still in the palace. When they were ready to leave the palace, he immediately bribed the officials responsible for placing them with money, and successfully included them in his home as concubines.
Second, after he was disposed of, the whereabouts of his wives and concubines.
After He Yan was imprisoned, it was reasonable to say that the Jiaqing Emperor should also kill the Nine Clans and close colleagues of He Yan while executing He Yan. However, since Hezhen's son married Qianlong's daughter, Jiaqing naturally had to take care of his sister. If it was the Nine Clans of ZhuLian and Yan, wouldn't his sister also have to be executed?
In view of this, Jiaqing's men were merciful and did not kill Hezhen's family. Because of this, his concubines survived. As for the whereabouts of his concubines after his death, in fact, there are three situations: the first case is that he was directly dismissed. Exactly where it belongs, no one really knows.
The second case is martyrdom for him. As we introduced to you earlier, Hezhen was very good at his concubines. Therefore, it is inevitable that one or two of his many concubines will be able to do the point of not being afraid of death for him, such as Cardamom and Wu Qingpi, one of whom was martyred for Hezhen by jumping off a building after being executed; the other was martyred by hezhen after he was executed.
Although their origins are not high, and can even be said to be very humble, it is really admirable that they can show great loyalty at key moments. At least for Hezhen, he should feel extremely satisfied that he could have one or two confidants with red faces buried for himself in this life.
If you want to find out the whereabouts of the other concubines after waking up, you have to pay attention to the relevant historical information. However, I think that their situation after that is not much better, after all, their biggest patron in this life has fallen, even if they can find another patron, where can they still be pampered and live a luxurious life as much as they did when they followed Hezhen? Therefore, even if they did not martyr for Hezhen, their subsequent situation was unlikely to be better than that of the two concubines who took the initiative to give Martyrdom to Hezhen.
