Concubine Liang was the daughter of Abu Nai, the head of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner and the head of the Zhengwu pinnacle, and the biological mother of The Eighth Son of Kangxi, Yun Yu. She entered the Xinzhiku as a show girl. Where is Sindhku? In the "Sending Notes for Discussion", it is recorded:
"Sindhku, who is half a zo to lead the rations also"
This means that the people in the Sindhyuk are the ones who make a living here. Concubine Liang was born in the Xinzhiku, and her status was indeed very humble, which was related to the way the people in the Xinzhiku were selected. But she was indeed the first woman in the entire Qing Dynasty to be made a concubine by Kangxi as a slave of Xinzhiku. So what about the feelings between them? In fact, there are very few records between Liangfei and Kangxi in history. If we want to see how the relationship between Kangxi and Concubine Liang is, we must start from the fact that she is called "Xinzhiku untouchable woman".
<h1>Is it true or false that Concubine Liang was said to be a "sinner ku slut"? </h1>
Concubine Liang was called "a slutty woman by Kangxi", and this passage is indeed recorded in the Kangxi Decree:
"When Concubine Yun's mother was ill, she said: Emperor Er's father thought that I was from a lowly place, and often accused me of blame, but I only wished that I would die, and I would be tired for a day. Therefore, he refused to take the medicine. ”
Judging from this document, it seems that Concubine Liang was in her old age and had no contact with Kangxi's old death. Even in Kangxi's eyes, because she was from Xinzhiku, she was very disgusted with her. But there is a suspicious point here, this history is from the "Kangxi Decree" written by Yongzheng, not from the Kangxi period himself. Then it is possible that Yongzheng deliberately degraded the feelings of Concubine Liang and Kangxi in order to smear his brother. So did this Kangxi really dislike Concubine Liang so much? We need to analyze it objectively.
<h1>First of all, we must first talk about the identity of the concubine</h1>
Concubine Liang was from the Xinzhiku, a service agency used by women from criminal families to be tortured and subsistence. But this is only the source of some people, as recorded in the Archives of the Interior Ministry of the Qing Dynasty:
"In the past, the Eight Banners owed money and grain to the people, etc., and because the limit was full, they could not be paid, and the inscriptions were to punish themselves or their descendants, and their wives were in the Upper Three Banners and the Lower Five Banners, and the Leaders of the Lower Five Banners were in the Xin Zhi Treasury of the Princes, and the Upper Three Banners were also in the Treasury of the Five Banners Princes."
It can be seen that in addition to the women in the tortured families, they need to do heavy work to atone for their sins in the Xinzhiku. Among the flag people, there are also people who work in the Xinzhiku as a legitimate worker, and are used to serve the children of the Eight Flags.
Concubine Liang's father was Zhenghuang Qi, who belonged to the Shangsan Banner, so he was dedicated to serving the emperor. Moreover, Liangfei was of the Jue Zen clan, which is recorded in the Eight Banners of Manchuria Clan Genealogy, Volume 49, Jue Zen Clan:
"Hu Zhu, the man who is wrapped in the yellow flag, lives in the place of Foala, returns when he is in heaven, and is the former head of the dining room."
Therefore, in terms of status, although it is also from the Xinzhiku, it is much higher than the status of women who are generally used to be tortured. Because no matter how they say it, they are also flag people. That is to say, the status of the concubines in the Xinzhiku is only relatively low. Therefore, there was a big problem for the Kangxi Emperor to say so fiercely in the later years of Concubine Liang that she was a "Xinzhiku slut".
<h1>Secondly, Kangxi's feelings for Liangfei were indeed "average" from historical sources</h1>
Why? The most obvious thing is the matter of sealing Concubine Liang as a concubine. During his 61-year reign, Kangxi created a total of 39 concubines. There is a bit of a problem here, for example, in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, there were many concubines who were sealed on a large scale. Among them were Hui Concubine, Rong Concubine, Yi Concubine, and so on, but there were no good concubines who first received the emperor's favor. It can be seen that the position of Concubine Liang in Kangxi's heart can be seen.
If it is because of the good birth of the three concubines hui concubine, rong concubine, and yi concubine, and the good concubine is the daughter of Xin Zhi Kubuyi, it is also understandable that it is not valued. But later, in the twentieth year of Kangxi, Kangxi made another concubine, that is, the mother concubine of the later Yongzheng Emperor, Princess De. And the status of The Virtuous Concubine and the Liang Concubine is the same, even inferior to the Liang Concubine. The Draft History of the Qing Dynasty records:
Princess De was Empress Xiaogongren (孝恭仁皇后), of the Uya clan, and a mighty warrior of the ProtectorAters. Later on the Holy Ancestor. In October of the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Ding You, Sejong was born. Eighteen years, as a concubine. Twenty years, into the princess.
Princess De was a "mighty warrior woman who guarded the army" and was also a person in the Yellow Banner, and entered the palace as a palace maid. As humble as the status of a good concubine at that time. However, in the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, he only crowned De Concubine as a Concubine of Virtue, but did not make a Concubine of Liang. So when was Concubine Liang crowned as a concubine? In the Imperial Literature Examination, it is recorded:
Liang Concubine Wei (梁妃) was a concubine of the Inner Guan Commander Abu Nai (阿布鼐女), who was made a concubine in December of the 39th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and later a concubine of the Jin Dynasty.
Concubine Liang was eventually made a concubine in the 39th year of the Kangxi Dynasty. Not because Kangxi loved her, but because the concubine at that time was already seriously ill. Therefore, we can think that Kangxi made her a concubine at that time, but only to comfort her.
<h1>Finally, I think that Kangxi's feelings for Concubine Liang may not have been so bad in itself. The reason why she has such an attitude towards Concubine Liang, and often says that she is a "sinner ku slut", is actually because of the old Eight Yunyu. </h1>
The good concubine in the history books was a slave of XinZhiku in her early years. How she and Kangxi met is not recorded in the history books. But definitely not, a coincidence. Because in the "Yongzheng Dynasty Manchu Zhu Pingquan Folding Complete Translation" recorded:
"Concubine Liang, mother concubine, her heart is also very big, how can Er wait for you not know the reason for the death?"
This passage of literature shows that Liangfei is definitely not an ordinary woman. She has her own political desires and doesn't want to work hard all the time in the Sindh library. Moreover, in the "Secret History of the Palaces of the Thirteen Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty", the appearance of Liangfei is also described:
"Beautiful crown one palace, pampered."
It can be seen that the good concubines in the early years were very popular with Kangxi because of their beauty. So why was he so disliked by Kangxi? It was actually her son Yun Yu's pot.
The curse was the deposed prince Yin Rong of that year, who was deposed by Kangxi and abolished twice. However, during this period, Kangxi did not completely lose hope in Yin, that is to say, in Kangxi's heart, he still hoped that he could inherit the throne. In the Draft History of the Qing Dynasty, it is said:
"Summoning the Crown Prince, he also saw it." Since then, without mentioning the past, the deposed crown prince is now in the Xian'an Palace. The thoughts of the remembrance can be summoned, and there is no more depression in the chest. ”
Kangxi asked the hundred officials to express their position, in fact, they wanted to go down the stairs. At that time, Kangxi's body was still very strong, and he had no intention of appointing another prince, but the hundred officials did not speculate and understand the holy will, and Yun Yu did not understand. As a result, in addition to the Four Masters Party, the courtiers of the DPRK and China all supported Yun Yu as the new crown prince. It was this incident that made Kangxi have a bad impression of Yun Yu. Because what Kangxi hated most was to form a party for personal gain, the brothers and courtiers were in cahoots. It was also because of this incident that kangxi's attitude towards Concubine Liang was affected.
This event is recorded in the Book of the Holy Patriarchs:
The imperial chancellor, led by Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, Aling'a, Orendai, Yu Xu, and Wang Hongxu, jointly named Bao Xiangyin as crown prince, surprised Kangxi and had no choice but to rebel, saying: "The matter of establishing the crown prince is very important, and Er and others should discuss it in detail, the eight brothers have not changed things, and they have recently committed crimes, and their mother's family is also very lowly, so er waits for him to think about it." ”
This is the first time in history that Kangxi has called Concubine Liang "lowly", in fact, it is because of Yun Yu's performance that it is difficult for Kangxi to accept, so he also has a grudge against her. In fact, in Yun Yu's heart, he felt that he was most like Kangxi, but in fact, he did not understand what Kangxi was thinking. So in the struggle for the throne, he lost. And his mother Concubine Liang, who was therefore disliked by Kangxi, is the reason for the fluctuation of their feelings.
So did Kangxi really dislike Concubine Liang? Obviously not. As mentioned from the above literature, the early concubines were "pampered". Even after her death, it was Kangxi himself who paid tribute to her. In the "Notes on qing qiju kangxi dynasty", it is recorded:
On the nineteenth day, yu Yu entered the Shenwu Gate from time to time, and asked An Hui Palace at the Gurudwara Shou Palace. Shen Shishang went from donghua gate out of Chaoyang Gate to Liangfei Ling's front to pay tribute to Bi Hui Palace. ”
The emperor personally paid homage to the harem concubines, which was an extremely rare thing in the entire Qing Dynasty, and for the concubines, it was nothing less than an extremely honorable honor. Therefore, in Kangxi's heart, she was a very good concubine. The relationship between them did indeed have a period of happy life in the early days. It was not until Yun Yu's performance displeased Kangxi that it directly affected kangxi and Concubine Liang's feelings. In fact, Kangxi's feelings for Concubine Liang were still very deep, which had nothing to do with her lowly status.
