In the Qing Dynasty, there was such a woman with a very special identity, although she was a palace girl, but her status was higher than some concubines, this person was Su Ma Lagu who had gone through three dynasties, don't look at her status and status is very low, but because she took care of the young Kangxi Emperor in the early years, so in the later Kangxi was also very respectful of her.
Many concubines and palace ladies had to treat her with courtesy when they saw her, and after her death, the Kangxi Emperor buried her with the etiquette of burying concubines thickly, which was enough to see how much Kangxi respected her, but later when Su Ma Lagu's tomb was excavated, it was found that there was a large vat inside, and the existence of this large vat revealed Kangxi's lies for hundreds of years, so what did Kangxi deceive the world?
The Kangxi Emperor had no teeth to forget his benefactor
Su Ma Lagu is said to be a more legendary woman in the history of the Qing Dynasty, she was not born in the Manchus, but the Mongolians at that time, because of the poor family, so she was sold by her parents to the then Wangye Mansion as a slave, and she was not serving others, it was the Emperor Taiji before the Qing Dynasty entered the Customs and the later Empress Xiaozhuang, and after the death of The Emperor Taiji, the Shunzhi Emperor succeeded to the throne, and she helped the mother and son to fight against Dolgun until Shunzhi successfully seized power.
However, not long after, the Shunzhi Emperor died young at the age of 24, leaving only an eight-year-old child, that is, the later Kangxi Emperor, so Su Ma Lagu shouldered the heavy responsibility of taking care of the young Kangxi Emperor, although Su Ma Lagu was not Kangxi's biological mother, but the identity of the adoptive mother was irreplaceable, and the nurturing grace for Kangxi was something he could not forget in his lifetime.
It is said that the outbreak of smallpox in the imperial palace at that time, put it now, the treatment is very easy, recuperation for a period of time can be recovered, but in ancient times there is no special medicine to treat this disease, infection with smallpox is undoubtedly declared dead, unless its own resistance is strong enough to survive, otherwise it can only accept the fate of death, and it just so happens that the young Kangxi was infected with this disease, in order to avoid the infection of the disease young Kangxi was sent out of the palace, and it was Su Ma Lama who took care of him.
Under the careful care of Su Ma Lagu, the dying Kangxi gradually recovered from the illness, after which she has been serving this future little emperor, it can be said that in the heart of the Kangxi Emperor, Su Ma Lagu is not a mother but like a mother, after Kangxi grew up, there were many times when she wanted to promote her, but she was born in mongolia, and she was also the identity of the slave class of the palace girl, so it was not easy to change her identity, and there was no good solution to this matter.
He dedicated his life to the Qing Dynasty and received a ceremonial burial for concubines
Although suma lama's identity has not been changed for a long time, after three dynasties, she has long been different from the status of ordinary palace women, and even the Kangxi Emperor has great respect for her, not to mention those concubines and slaves, so in fact, Suma lama is still very courteous.
And she also deserves to be so respected by Kangxi and others, after all, she dedicated her life to the Qing Dynasty, from Emperor Taiji and Empress Xiaozhuang to Shunzhi to Kangxi, no matter how many tribulations she has experienced, she is loyal to her master, and this loyalty is really admirable.
Later, after Empress Xiaozhuang died in old age and the Kangxi Emperor also sat firmly on the throne, Su Ma Lama no longer continued to maintain her status as a palace maid, but chose to shave her family in such a peaceful and prosperous world and live a life of Qing cultivation, and she also did this to pray for the blessing of the deceased Xiaozhuang and the reigning Kangxi, and also prayed for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, so loyalty is really rare, and it is also very touching for Kangxi.
On the other hand, Su Ma Lama also got rid of the world's troubles, the life of the Qinglan Ancient Buddha made her old age very comfortable, and the calm mentality coupled with good living habits actually made her live until she was more than ninety years old, maybe this is what people call good and good rewards!
After she died, Kangxi was also grief-stricken, and made an exception to choose to bury her with the etiquette of a concubine, and also announced that her etiquette standards had already exceeded that of the concubine, which was also a kind of reward for the Kangxi Emperor for this benefactor, and it was also used to express the Qing Dynasty's kindness to such a loyal person.
However, these statements are all written down, and no one has seen it with their own eyes, and no one knows what kind of burial specifications the Kangxi Emperor buried Su Ma Lagu, but if you think of the two people with deep feelings, and it is better than the mother-son relationship, then no matter what, the treatment is definitely not bad.
The tomb was excavated, revealing the lies of the Kangxi Dynasty for hundreds of years
Speculation about the burial of Su Ma Lagu, in later generations with the Qing Dynasty imperial tomb was excavated this truth also surfaced, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the former imperial tomb was no longer guarded, many tomb robbers coveted a large number of gold and silver jewelry buried in the imperial tomb, they began a crazy tomb robbery action, and Su Ma Lagu's mausoleum was not spared, after all, there were rumors that it was buried with the etiquette of concubines, coupled with Kangxi's attention to her, there must be valuable treasures inside.
However, when people went in, they found that there was nothing in Su Ma Lagu's mausoleum, only a large vat, and the urn contained her urn in the big vat, when people saw this scene, they thought that they had entered the wrong tomb, but after carefully checking the identity, they found that this was indeed Su Ma Lagu's mausoleum.
Such a discovery also revealed the lie that Kangxi had deceived the world for hundreds of years, and it turned out that he had been buried with the etiquette of a concubine, but in fact he was still burying Su Ma Lama in the standard of a palace maid, just to establish his noble image as an emperor.
There are also other views on this matter, one is that Su Ma Lama has always been the identity of the palace maid, her own status has not been promoted, plus she later left the palace in a gradient, which is no different from ordinary people, and there is nothing wrong with burying with the ceremony of the palace maid, perhaps the row of noodles at the time of burial was indeed arranged according to the etiquette specifications of the concubine, but when building the mausoleum, she still considered her identity to choose a simple burial.
The second is that Su Ma Lama was diligent and thrifty all her life, and after the Qing Dynasty, she was also indifferent to fame and fortune, so it is very likely that she made a special will before her death, not to let the Kangxi Emperor bury him thickly, this is only a large vat, there is no funerering product, if not, then the Kangxi Emperor even if he is stingy how to arrange a good burial chamber and coffin for her, it is obvious that there are still some unknown secrets.
epilogue
Whether it was the Kangxi Emperor lying to the outside world, or saying that there was a secret behind it that could not be explored, the simple burial of Su Ma Lagu was really a little chilling, how to say that she also contributed her life to the Qing Dynasty, and in the end there was only such an ending.
And this incident also confirms to us from the side that in the ancient feudal dynasty period, these people in the slave class did not have their own freedom and rights, let alone be treated kindly, and many people may not be able to return to their hometowns all their lives, waiting for them only to die of loneliness and old age, which is not a microcosm of that era.
