Kangxi went out to inspect, the imperial concubine gave birth to a princess, Kangxi ordered: send out of the palace, burned

In ancient China, there were always some incredible and inexplicable things that happened, especially in the royal family, and if many things were not explained, it was difficult to understand why the rulers of the time did this.

And the Kangxi Emperor's previous act of burning his daughter alive is incomprehensible to the world. Just as the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, why did the Kangxi Emperor do this? And what is the reason behind all this?

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the emperor has three thousand harem beauties, and he can choose beautiful women who meet his own wishes by his own will, but is this really the case?

In fact, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or some other dynasties, many emperors can not choose their beloved women at will, often limited to the upper class or some large families, or within the scope of their own nation.

Such a choice, on the one hand, is to ensure the purity of the so-called royal bloodline, but also to choose the right woman for the emperor to match his supreme identity and status, and the second is for the consideration of political factors, only within the imperial family or in the big family to choose the right woman, can better maintain the feudal autocratic rule.

Because the strong alliance of the two major families will stand on the united front for the common interests and goals, in this way, it can not only be unified with the outside world, but also coordinate and cooperate in many aspects.

Therefore, from the perspective of these factors, the ancient dynasties would put forward many restrictions on the selection of concubines, especially during the Qing Dynasty, this restriction was extremely strict.

The purpose of the selection of women held during the Qing Dynasty was to select concubines for the emperor, but in fact, there were indeed large families and ministers in the court who manipulated and influenced them, and the people who could become the emperor's concubines were basically family women who were either rich or noble.

And these women not only require them to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also to be able to understand the etiquette of the royal family, lack of any of them, will be ruthlessly eliminated, unless these women have an extremely strong family background behind them, can buy the examiner at that time, but few of them are beautiful in this screening, nothing more than a special form of political marriage.

Therefore, the ancient emperors were not as happy as we imagined, they also had a lot of involuntary choices, but also had an unknown sad past, some emperors were indeed able to find a satisfactory spouse, such as Empress Fucha, whom Qianlong once loved, and Tong Jiashi, the imperial concubine who was favored by the Kangxi Emperor during his reign, and the story we are telling today is related to this imperial concubine.

In the 22nd year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the most favored imperial concubine Tong Jiashi gave birth to an heir. The Kangxi Emperor was unable to accompany Tong Jia when he gave birth to his child, because he had already left the palace to inspect it earlier, and when he learned that his favorite noble concubine had given birth to a daughter for himself, he hurried back to the palace to visit.

But before the Kangxi Emperor was happy for a long time, there was suddenly bad news, the princess born to the imperial concubine did not survive for long and died, for the occurrence of this unexpected situation, the Kangxi Emperor could only sigh, after all, life and death have a life, this is not artificial can change, and then he also made a shocking decision, that is, he ordered the eunuch who served to send the newly born princess out of the palace and burn it.

Although it is said that this newborn little princess died prematurely, but how to say that they are the emperor's daughters, should not be hastily handled in this way, then why did the Kangxi Emperor do this?

In fact, this is related to the funeral etiquette customs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, this funerary method is cremation, to modern society, cremation is still a relatively common, more publicly recognized funerary method, through the cremation of the remains of the deceased, and then buried again.

This method was exactly the method used and followed by the Manchus before the Qing Dynasty entered the Customs, but later, with the development of the dynasty, many emperors chose a more noble and more complicated burial method, so in general, the Kangxi Emperor made such a decision was not wrong, but also to meet the funeral customs of the Manchu Qing imperial family at that time.

After losing her daughter, Tong Jiashi became pregnant with the Kangxi Emperor's heir again within a few years, but this time she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for her, but she also lost her life because of her weak health, coupled with some special reasons caused by miscarriage, this accident completely dragged down Tong Jia's body, so that he must not be able to afford it from now on, and he died not long after.

It should be said that in the past dynasties, there were not a few concubines who died of miscarriage or illness, but a large part of Tong Jia's death was related to the feudal customs and royal courteous choices at that time.

Tong Jia's family was the leading nobleman of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, and he had been married to the royal family for many years. Over time, the personnel relationship between the two families has become closer and closer, and many of them have more or less relatives.

The Kangxi Emperor and Tong Jia are cousins of the relationship, the combination of the two is undoubtedly a marriage of close relatives, but we all know that in modern biological science research, this situation is a very small probability of giving birth to a child, even if born is basically deformed, or early death, but also will have a great impact on the mother, which is why Tong Jia will die early.

In the final analysis, because of this ignorant and decadent in-law relationship, the rulers of the current dynasty will only pay attention to the so-called family interests, thus ignoring moral human morality, lack of scientific cognition, coupled with decadent and backward thinking, so that these rulers often make some wrong decisions and choices, which also leads to a tragedy.

This incident also allows us to see the dark and decaying side behind the Qing Dynasty royal family, and the noble Qing Dynasty royal family in people's eyes is so unbearable, and this also profoundly reminds the world that there is no noble bloodline in this world, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Each of us has an equal status and should also give full respect to each other, which is the concept that each of us should recognize in the new era, and it is also the criterion we must follow in the world.
