Introduction:
The martyrdom system existed as early as the Shang Dynasty, and this system was stopped in the process of the development of social civilization.
People have been martyred in a period of history, only sporadically. This practice is maintained only among ethnic minorities.
But in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang began to advocate human martyrdom and imposed regulations.
In the Qing Dynasty, the system was more extensive, and the martyrs were no longer limited to palace concubines, and sometimes ministers.
Before Kangxi's death, only three empresses went with the emperor first, and these three were personally arranged by Kangxi to be sent to the mausoleum.
Because of political reasons, most of the women in the harem are victims of political Z, probably out of sympathy, Kangxi stipulated in his later years that all concubines who have sons can live with their sons after they are old, which is equivalent to the pension plan of his concubines.
And after death, these concubines can be buried in the concubine mausoleum.
In the system of martyrdom of the living, he abolished the martyrdom of the living.
Three of his mausoleums were empresses canonized by Kangxi himself, and one was Yongzheng's biological mother, who arranged for him to enter it.
All four were buried in the same room as empresses with Kangxi, but one of them still enjoyed such honors although he was not an empress.
Wife - Empress Hyoseongjin
She is Sony's daughter and can become Kangxi's wife, and his father's credit is self-evident.
In the fourth year after marriage, he gave birth to his eldest son, who unfortunately died at the age of four.
Kangxi was accompanying Xiaozhuang to recuperate at this time, and suddenly heard the news of the death of his eldest son, and he forcibly endured the grief in his heart, still as usual on the surface, crying bitterly when there was no one.
The empress could not withstand this blow and fell ill, and Kangxi could no longer sit still, so he quickly rushed back to the palace after asking Xiaozhuang for instructions.
After another five or six years, the empress gave birth to a second son, and Kangxi was happily waiting for the birth of his second concubine, but he waited for his wife to have a difficult birth.
She gave birth to Yinren for Kangxi with her life, and the empress was only 21 years old when she died.
Because of his love for the empress, Kangxi made the two-year-old Yinren crown prince, and it was precisely because of his early canonization that Kangxi regretted it very much in his later years.
He was wet with rain and dew in the harem, and his heirs stretched, so Kangxi had many sons.
The crown prince was early and intelligent, and he was favored by Kangxi. Early ostracized by his brothers, coupled with the later suspicion of his son's division of power, he abolished the crown prince twice.
The brothers are not close, and the father is suspicious, and finally drives this talented eldest son crazy.
This is also the unspeakable pain of Kangxi's life.
After his wife's death, Kangxi broke the old system and placed the coffin of Empress Xiaochengren in his Qianqing Palace.
He was the first and only empress of the Qing Dynasty to stop at the Qianqing Palace.
When the empress died, she was first buried in Gonghua City, because the Kangxi mausoleum had not yet been built at this time.
According to records, in the first year of burial, Kangxi visited 34 times, an average of nearly three times a month.
In the second year, I went a total of 24 times, an average of two times a month, and in the third year, I went to see it once a month on average.
In the fourth year, the construction of Kangxi's mausoleum began, and in this year an envoy came to see him, and it happened that Kangxi saw Gonghuacheng mourning, and even did not want to see the envoy. He went to see it a total of 15 times this year.
Five years after the empress's death, Kangxi already had a second empress, but still went to see it 7 times. Even on the Chinese New Year's Eve night of this year, Kangxi braved the wind and rain to go to Gonghuacheng to mourn his wife.
The emperor of a country, in a high position, what kind of woman does not, his love for his wife is deep and lasting, in order to be with his wife after death, breaking the old system, the empress's Zigong tomb is in the same room as the emperor.
Before the big wedding, the grand wedding of the two was already attracting worldwide attention, and the support and virtuousness of the wife deeply moved Kangxi.
In order to send his wife twice in a row, he ignored the old system and arranged for the queen's death. Prince Aiya and Uhaya.
Even after the prince was deposed, for the sake of the prince's old age, he chose Yongzheng, a gentle heir who usually did not fight for and was not aggressive. On his deathbed, he told Yongzheng to treat the deposed prince well.
The wife is the eternal white moonlight in Kangxi's heart, and after Kangxi's death, the Zigong of the two was placed next to each other, which was also arranged by Kangxi long ago.
The empress who died early at the age of 20 - Empress Takaakihito
Empress Hyoakihito, with the same family lineage as the first empress, was also a minister of auxiliary countries.
Perhaps the difference is that she is not the white moonlight in Kangxi's heart.
She was the first empress with the surname Niuhulu, but unfortunately, died less than a year after the throne.
She entered the palace in the fourth year of Kangxi, and was canonized as a concubine when she entered the palace, and was canonized as an empress in the fifth year of the death of Kangxi's wife.
After his death, Kangxi also placed her Zi Palace in Gonghuacheng.
Her traces in history are light and there is little record. Historical records only record her origin, but Kangxi did not have a low opinion of her.
Only for one day the empress's woman - Empress Hyo-yi-in
Tong Jia, the third empress of the Kangxi Dynasty, entered the palace in the same year as the Niuhulu clan, but her position was not as high as that of the Niuhulu clan.
When she first entered the palace, she was only a person, and in the second year, she was made a noble concubine.
If Fa wife is Kangxi's beloved woman, then Tong Jiashi is the woman who makes Kangxi love.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Tong Jia clan created the precedent of imperial concubines. In the 27th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Tong Jia was seriously ill, and Kangxi probably made her empress in order to give her joy. She died less than a day later, and according to records, she was queen for only 8 hours.
In her life, she only gave birth to a daughter for the emperor, and this daughter was not kept, probably out of sadness, Tong Jia's health has always been bad.
After his death, Kangxi wrote many mourning poems to remember the empress, and after Tong Jia, Kangxi did not canonize another empress, not even noble concubines.
The first three are all women that Kangxi will never forget in his life.
The first wife, also a teacher and friend, is more of a love that supports each other.
The second place, more is pampering, Kangxi once said that she is a good match, which also shows that in Kangxi's eyes, this woman is very compatible with herself, from the family life to life, the two can synchronize.
The third place is the cinnabar mole that can be said to be Kangxi's heart.
Look at the several poems Kangxi wrote for her, which always use words such as "weeping", "lamenting" and "sighing".
It can be seen that every time Kangxi thinks of this woman, his heart is full of sorrow and pain, and he is painfully separated, hurt and lost, and even more sad about the autumn breeze.
All three died before Kangxi, and although Kangxi was good to the harem concubines, he did not want the concubines to be with him.
The fourth can be buried with Kangxi, only because his son became an emperor, and as an emperor, his biological mother naturally had to be posthumously named empress, so as to match the identity of the new emperor.
The mother entered the imperial tomb with her son - Yongzheng's biological mother
Yongzheng was not Kangxi's first choice of heir, and from beginning to end, Kangxi's desire for control over power became stronger and stronger.
Although he loves his wife and the prince, he still doubts whether the prince has divided power.
Yongzheng was probably the one who knew Kangxi best, and he knew what kind of heir Kangxi wanted, and he packaged himself as what he was.
Kangxi wanted to see brotherly love, so Yongzheng hid his ambitions and asked his brothers to let down their guard against him.
It was in this way that he was the only prince among all the princes who could do without a faction, at least in Kangxi's eyes, he had no faction.
On the one hand, Kangxi affirmed the crown prince's ability, on the other hand, he was afraid of the prince's separation of power, and under this ambivalence, he even thought that the prince did not show grief when he was sick.
Of course, Yongzheng was well aware of Kangxi's thoughts, so in front of Kangxi, he not only acted unambitious, but also very respectful and filial.
Yongzheng's biological mother was of low status and was not qualified to raise her son herself.
Therefore, when Yongzheng was just over the moon, he was given to the empress to raise.
The empress had no son, only one daughter died early, and the adopted son raised was not only Yongzheng, but Yongzheng was indeed the empress's most beloved adopted son.
Yongzheng's biological mother was only from a clothed background, and naturally could not be buried in the same room with the emperor.
Fortunately, Yongzheng ascended to the throne, and the Wuya clan rose to the top.
It was also because of the meritorious birth of the prince that she was made a concubine in the eighteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and a year later gave birth to a son and made a concubine.
In this lifetime, she bore Kangxi six children, three of whom were sons.
In this life, after giving birth to her eldest son, she had no right to raise her because of her low position, but when she gave birth to her second son, she personally raised it, and this son only lived to be 6 years old.
And the younger son, as the fourteenth prince of Kangxi, is favored by the Wuya clan, but this younger brother is not the eldest brother's party, and the fourteenth prince is a person close to the eighth prince.
This matter is a heart-wrenching thing for Yongzheng.
After Yongzheng came to power, he recalled this younger brother to Jingli, not to reuse this younger brother, but to put his younger brother under house arrest in the imperial tomb, and also changed his younger brother's name.
Wu Ya died of illness and did not see this beloved young son.
The fourteenth prince waited until Qianlong ascended the throne to restore his freedom, and it can be said that he survived Yongzheng to death.
Brothers with the same father and mother get along like this, and in the final analysis, it is all about the right to cause trouble.
The woman who was forcibly sent to the imperial tomb - Imperial Concubine Jingmin Zhang Jia
Zhang Jia, born in the cloth, was a palace maid in Kangxi's harem, and gave birth to three children in her life, two of whom were daughters.
When Zhang Jia was alive in Kangxi, her position was only a concubine.
A palace maid was able to accompany Kangxi after her death only because her son was on the right side.
The thirteenth prince's biological mother died early when he was 14 years old and was raised under the knees of Concubine De, that is, Yongzheng's biological mother.
Although the two are not a mother, they have a very good relationship, and it is precisely with this younger brother that Yongzheng is not alone in the matter of fighting for storage.
In the eighth year of Yongzheng, this good brother died of illness, and Yongzheng was very sad.
When his brother was still alive, in order to express his gratitude, Yongzheng specially arranged for his brother's biological mother Zhang Jia to move into the Kangxi palace, which set a precedent in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
This also shows that Yongzheng reuses and trusts his younger brother.
Zhang Jia was also the only woman who was not an empress, but was buried by the emperor's side, so she was sent to the emperor by Yongzhengqiang.
Some people say that Yongzheng's intentions are not pure, but anyway, as a palace maid, being able to enjoy such sorrow after death is also a brone for the ancestors.
