Concubine Liang was one of the five concubines, and her status was noble, so why was she called a lowly woman by Kangxi after her death?
During the reign of Kangxi, in addition to the concubines above the noble concubines, there were five women who held the concubine position before their deaths, and all of them were very favored, known in history as the five concubines. They were Huifei, Yifei, Defei, Rongfei and Liangfei. Among them, LiangFei was the most special one, because he was the first concubine of the Qing Dynasty to be born in Xinzhiku. It can be seen that Kangxi has a very different view of this concubine and is truly in love. However, why did Kangxi later call Concubine Liang a "Sinderku slut" after her death?
Concubine Liang was from the Wei clan, and her father was only a small five-pin bag inner steward who managed the Xinzhiku, that is, the emperor's logistics staff. There are many theories about Liangfei's experience, the first of which is that when Liangfei first entered the palace through the draft, she was just an ordinary palace girl, and later she was favored by Kangxi. The second theory is that as soon as a concubine enters the palace, she becomes a concubine. Personally, I think that the possibility of the first is relatively large, after all, Wei Shi was originally born in a coat.
During the Qing Dynasty, emperors had a habit that when they gave harem concubines a title, they liked to concentrate on sealing and sealing several at once. However, The Concubine was a separate canonized one. From this point of view, the status of Concubine Liang in Kangxi's mind was still very large. Later, Concubine Liang gave birth to the eighth prince Yin Yu.
Kangxi was also very fond of Yin Yu, and when Yin Yu was fifteen years old, Kangxi took him with him to personally conquer Geldan. When Yin Yu was seventeen years old, he was given the title of Baylor, the youngest of the crowned princes. According to historical records, Concubine Liang was a very beautiful woman, and her virtues were also very beautiful, so the title she received was "Liang".
Kangxi loved Concubine Liang so much, why did Kangxi call her a "slutty woman of Xin Zhiku" after Her Concubine's death? Although there are historical records of this matter, there is no evidence that Kangxi actually said this. Many scholars believe that this sentence was invented by Yongzheng.
The reason is because the eighth prince Yin Yu is the son of Concubine Liang. Yin Yu was Yongzheng's biggest political enemy during the Nine Sons' Conquest period, and he hated Yin Yu to the bone. Therefore, for Yin Yu's mother, she also hated it very much. Even if Concubine Liang is long dead, we must smear her again. What do you think about this?
