Princess Rong was originally a very favored concubine of Kangxi, she was intelligent and kind, gentle and virtuous, and Kangxi and Empress Xiaozhuang raised her as a quasi-empress.
Kangxi asked her to learn the skills of her ancestors, and Xiaozhuang weighed her heavily, saying that in the future, she and Kangxi's grandchildren would let Concubine Rong listen to both of them. This trust and expectation was something that the previous Empress Herschel had not had. That Hui Concubine, who is accustomed to being jealous and a bowl of silver ear lotus seed soup, is not to mention. (For a detailed explanation of Huifei silver ear lotus seed soup, please see previous articles)
Kangxi En allowed her to return to her hometown to visit her relatives and ancestors, and asked her to be a female Chincha who served the world. Let the people see how graceful and graceful the emperor's concubines are, so as to show the royal leniency and benevolence, and the courtesy of corporals.
These concubines are very well done.
Concubine Rong is a Woman of the Li Guangdi type. (Female version of Li Guangdi's interested netizens can look at my previous article) talent is outstanding, but the awareness of the overall situation is not enough, and sometimes it is inevitable that the book business will be angry.
In the end, Princess Rong was degraded to a slave in the Imperial Household, and Princess Hui fell into the well and arranged for her to clean the toilet, but all this did not happen at once. Kangxi was a nostalgic person.
1. Initial descent
When Kangxi personally conquered Geldan, Kangxi zheng made a will and ordered the crown prince Yin Rong to succeed to the throne, and in a hurry, Mingzhu could not care about Kangxi's illness and blurted out the matter of Yin Rong's private production of crown dragon robes. This made Kangxi angry and disappointed.
At this time, Concubine Rong came to serve the driver and personally tried the medicine, and Kangxi was moved. However, later, when she heard that Lan Qi'er was blocking the front and praying for a strike, Concubine Rong was in a hurry, ignoring the emperor's orders, and rushed to the battlefield, and the mother and daughter actually called for a strike together!
After Concubine Rong returned, Kangxi directly demoted her to a concubine on the grounds that she had violated the law and disturbed the hearts of the army.
At this time, the emperor still had great feelings for her.
2. Accommodating
This downgrade is the most undeserved. Concubine Rong failed to live up to Xiaozhuang's wishes. It also caused trouble for Kangxi.
Xiaozhuang did not agree to abolish the prince, but she herself said that she was old and sometimes confused. She assisted her son, assisted her grandson, and for the great-grandchildren she could not do anything about it.
Therefore, Xiaozhuang privately instructed Concubine Rong not to allow the emperor to depose the crown prince. Concubine Rong also knew that she was not caught, so Xiaozhuang let her and the emperor theorize. Empress Xiaozhuang treated Kangxi and Concubine Rong as ordinary couples.
The wife advises the husband, but the husband does not listen, and the wife theorizes. Until the husband obeys.
Why didn't Empress Xiaozhuang directly give her will? But what about private instructions? It is to leave room for Kangxi, which is the meaning of her filial piety in private, Kangxi obeys the best, if he insists on abolishing the prince, it does not matter. However, if the will is made public, then Kangxi must obey, no matter how he cannot depose the prince, this is filial piety!
Empress Xiaozhuang meant to let Concubine Rong talk to Kangxi in private, and the theory was also OK. Between husband and wife, private persuasion, theory, and even quarrel, this is nothing that cannot be overdoed. In this way, whether Kangxi obeys or disobeys, it doesn't matter, and it is harmless to Concubine Rong.
In this way, Kangxi had room to make a wrong decision because of his grandmother's confusion.
Concubine Rong chose the most inappropriate occasion to inform Kangxi.
As soon as Kangxi announced the abolition of the crown prince, Concubine Rong loudly said that the old ancestor would not allow the crown prince to be deposed, which was a will.
The emperor's words, the words of gold and jade, cannot be changed, cannot be taken back. If Kangxi obeyed this voice, he would have to withdraw his will, which undermined the majesty of the emperor.com. If Kangxi didn't listen and insisted on deposing the prince, he would be unfilial! How do the unfilial people govern the country, how to regain the hearts of the disciples!
Kangxi was in a dilemma at the moment.
At this time, Princess Hui promptly retorted, saying that Empress Xiaozhuang had died, and she was by her side, and Empress Xiaozhuang had no such words!
Kangxi went down the stairs and made Concubine Rong a slander against the old ancestor. Concubine Rong was demoted to Rong Changzai.
Kangxi still had a show of affection. Looking at the charges alone, slandering the ancestors, and still living, this is not easy. Publicly obstructing the abolition of the prince, not being defined as a party of abolishing the prince, is already the emperor's grace.
In the end, Concubine Rong did not understand Empress Xiaozhuang's meaning.
Yin Rong, the prince, was deposed by Kangxi, abolished and abolished, and then abolished, and then abolished, do you know that after this time is deposed, he will not be re-established as a prince? Privately talk to Kangxi and convey the meaning of the old ancestors, Kangxi may not not consider it.
Concubine Rong chose the worst time to convey the meaning of Filial Piety. Always in place, she is suitable.
3. Privately release the red jade and reduce it to slavery.
Hongyu was the daughter of the former Ming Zhu Third Crown Prince, who was adopted by Suo Etu and later favored by the crown prince, and was six months pregnant. After the crown prince was deposed, Kangxi entrusted her to the care of Concubine Rong. Originally, Kangxi was nostalgic for the past. Therefore entrusted to Concubine Rong.
However, Concubine Rong misunderstood Kangxi's meaning. Loudly plead for The Red Jade to stay alive. Neither did Kangxi promise, nor did he agree.
Agree, as if he were a tyrant and could not tolerate a woman with a red jade, not to mention that the child was still his grandson. It is necessary to allow Chang to speak before sparing Hongyu's life.
If you don't agree, then the emperor will not tolerate the orphan daughter of the former dynasty and his grandchildren, and will kill them quickly. The name of the tyrant is even more solid.
She has always gained a reputation for generosity and kindness.
Concubine Rong didn't want to think about it, if the emperor had the intention to kill hongyu, why should he entrust hongyu to her to take care of it, there were many slaves in the palace, and she couldn't take care of a pregnant woman? Why entrust it to her?
And that's not all.
Concubine Rong decided that Kangxi was going to kill Hongyu and released Hongyu without permission.
Hongyu was also a resolute person, directly committing suicide in front of the grave of Prince Zhu San. Kangxi was furious.
Kangxi could have had many ways to place the mother and son of the red jade, after all, the child in the belly of the red jade was of royal blood, and Kangxi had already admitted it when he entrusted the red jade to Rong Chang in his care.
Hongyu was terrified and mistakenly thought that she was going to die, and Concubine Rong also added firewood.
Whether Hongyu will die after giving birth to a child, the emperor's will, no one knows. I'm afraid that Kangxi himself didn't think about it, but Hongyu's death method was the last thing Kangxi wanted.
Died in front of the tomb of Prince Zhu San, one body and two lives, yu Kangxi Kuanren-based imperial image is greatly damaged.
Even so, Kangxi did not give Concubine Rong to death, but only reduced her to slavery. It can be seen that Kangxi has left affection in the end.
From the imperial concubine, "en-serving the world's female Chincha", to the Zongren mansion as a slave, Rong Fei's every step is very thrilling, each step is less and less conscious of being a concubine, and the emotional things are getting heavier and heavier.
Kangxi used to ask her to learn the skills of her ancestors, and later asked her that the harem should not interfere in politics, and she was no longer recognized by the emperor, and she did not trust the emperor anymore
