Kangxi knew everyone, and the Kangxi Emperor was able to successfully sit on the throne without his sister's "assist".
Princess Heshuo was Kangxi's sister, and they all said that "princess life" was a good life, but in reality, princess marriages in ancient times were mostly used for political marriage. Princess Heshuo ruined her life's happiness in order to be able to capture Aobai, and even after her death, she could only enter the ancestral tomb of Aobai.
The young Kangxi had no real power, and the princess was forced to marry Aobai
The love story of the Shunzhi Emperor and Dong Efei can be described as envious of others, although sitting in the supreme position, Shunzhi died at the age of 24. Some people say that Shunzhi died because he lost his beloved concubine, and there are many conspiracy theories that he said otherwise.
Shunzhi is only 24 years old, but he has 14 children. Shunzhi sensed that his body was dying, and when he died, he chose to be succeeded by the 8-year-old Aisin Kyora Xuanye.
But what could the young Kangxi do? He couldn't do anything. When passing on his son, Shunzhi also thought of this layer. So he carefully selected 4 ministers to assist Xuan Ye.
However, what Shunzhi did not expect was that this move almost caused a catastrophe.
The emperor was young, and the power in the hands of the auxiliary ministers was increasing, and ambitions gradually developed. Among the four auxiliary ministers, Aobai was the most powerful and ambitious, and once threatened the position of the emperor. How could Empress Xiaozhuang tolerate such a situation in the DPRK?
Therefore, in order to stabilize Aobai, Empress Xiaozhuang made a major decision - the royal marriage.
As we all know, the royal marriage in ancient times was in many cases an "alliance", and this "alliance" was bound to achieve some political purpose.
Empress Xiaozhuang's use of royal marriage can play a role in containing Ao bai to a certain extent.
As for the protagonist of the marriage, Empress Xiaozhuang set her sights on Princess Heshuo and Ao bai's nephew.
Although shunzhi's children are more born, not many can grow to adults. A total of 6 daughters were born, and only Princess Pegatron survived.
Princess Heshuo was the only daughter left by Shunzhi and was very favored in her early years. When I was a child, I grew up with the princes. After Kangxi ascended the throne, Heshuo became the eldest princess. When he grew up, Pegatron was not only outstanding in appearance, but also extremely intelligent.
The empress dowager can also be said to be pampered and loving to her granddaughter, and Pegatron's status is not only very high.
Logically, only a princess should be loved in every way, but it is a pity that Princess Heshuo was not born at the right time. Her father died early, her brother was unstable at a young age, and at the age of 15 she took up the burden. Most of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty were victims of politics, and she was one of them.
At only 15 years old, she understood early on that as a princess of a country, she needs a political marriage sooner or later. For the sake of his own family, Pegatron also agreed to this family affair.
Kangxi Zhi got rid of Aobai, but his sister ended up miserable
It has to be said that the move of marrying the eldest princess to Ao Bai's nephew was a success. Because this move really stabilized Ao bai. What Aobai did not expect was that the young Kangxi was secretly plotting a big drama.
Kangxi's sister had only been married for a short period of 2 years, and the emperor found an opportunity to take the old nest of Ao bai into a pot.
Ao Bai was imprisoned, his family was greatly implicated, many people were executed, and Ao Bai's nephew was naturally not exempt.
Kangxi was a person who attached great importance to family affection, and said that "the emperor is ruthless", but whose human heart is not flesh? Kangxi lost his father at a young age, and his mother died early. When his mother was ill, Kangxi also served the soup medicine himself.
"When my parents were there, I didn't have a day to celebrate." This was the Kangxi Emperor's greatest regret. His sister grew up with him, and the relationship between the two was also very good. In order not to keep his sister from being widowed, Kangxi left his nephew to die.
Ao bai nephew Nardu's family were all angry because of tianzi, and they died a debasement, how could Naldoo give his wife a good face? It can only be said that in the first few days after the eldest princess married, the two people could still make it together. Naldhu was expelled from the capital, and Kangxi's sister could only follow her out of the capital.
After the accident, the life of the eldest princess became more and more difficult day by day, and her life was very miserable.
The tragic rest of the eldest princess's life
The Kangxi Emperor once went out and coincidentally met his sister. Looking at her sister who no longer had the style of the past, her face was haggard and full of vicissitudes, a pair of tightly locked brows seemed to be uneven.
After chatting about the past, he felt that he was really ashamed of his own sister, who married Naldhu in order to consolidate his throne. But at this time, when I was looking at my sister, my life was so miserable, I couldn't help but feel sad.
After Kangxi returned to the capital, he immediately issued an edict to let Nadu return to the capital and wanted to give his sister a better life.
Unfortunately, the weather was not satisfactory, she did not return to the capital for a long time, and her husband died before she could live a good life. The eldest princess immediately became a widow.
In fact, according to the Manchu culture, after the husband's death, he could choose to marry again, but at that time, with the fusion of Manchu and Han culture, some Manchus also paid attention to "abiding by the way of women". So after the death of her husband, the eldest princess did not marry again.
The historical record of the eldest princess is only a few words, but we can still find her figure from the years.
The eldest princess was only 33 years old when she died, and for people now life has just begun. Perhaps her death was a relief, and she finally ended her life as a pawn, ended her lonely life. For her, it may not be a bad thing.
After Kangxi learned of his sister's death, he was given the title of Princess Gongyichang. After her death, the eldest princess could only be buried in the ancestral tomb of Aobai.
I have to say that the life of the eldest princess is miserable.
Summary:
Everyone says that princesses are happy, but in fact, few princesses in reality are happy. The story of Princess Gongyi also let us understand that under the background at that time, her lifelong choices could not be the master herself.
Princess Gongwu sacrificed her life's happiness in exchange for the supreme power of her brother. Indeed, the story of the Kangxi Emperor's wisdom fighting and worship is still a good story, and Kangxi is also the ultimate victor in the struggle for power. But who would have known that the eldest princess was a pawn sacrificed in it?
Now that time has passed, the tomb of the former Princess Huang Has long been in tatters, and her story has been sealed in the tomb with it. Who said that women are inferior to men, Princess Gongwu exchanged her lifelong happiness for the preservation of her own family!
