A good concubine in history
In the 2011 TV series "Gong Suo Xin Yu", Liang Concubine, played by Shao Meiqi, is the mother of Brother Ba' A, who, like Qingchuan, crossed from modern times to the Qing Dynasty. These two modern people with special identities, one became a concubine of the Kangxi Emperor, and the other became the lover of Brother Baba. So, what is the real historical concubine?
Liang Concubine, surname Wei, real name is no longer available, Manchurian Yellow Banner people. She is the daughter of the inner pipe leader Abu Nai. Concubine Liang came from a humble origin and turned out to be the palace maid of Xinzhiku. Because of a chance, the Kangxi Emperor saw her beauty, so he summoned her to the palace and made her a good nobleman. On the tenth day of February in the twentieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Lianggui gave birth to The Eighth Prince of Kangxi, Yin Yu. When Yin Yu was young, he was raised by Concubine Hui. In the thirty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, during the expedition to Gardan, Yin Yu twice followed the Kangxi Emperor on expeditions and won many honors.
In the thirty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Liangguiren was given the title of Liang Concubine, and by this time she was seriously ill, and the Kangxi Emperor was very anxious, so he made her a good concubine. Concubine Liang was one of the five concubines of the Kangxi Dynasty, and also the latest and most junior concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty to enter the palace.
Fifty years after the Kangxi Dynasty, Concubine Liang died of illness. The Kangxi Emperor was so grief-stricken that he wrote two memorials to her, and the ceremony of sacrifice to her was presided over by the Kangxi Emperor himself. Two years later, the body of Concubine Liang was buried in the Concubine Garden in Jingling.
It can be said that the real history of the good concubine experience and the TV series still have some differences. In the TV series, Liangfei finally crossed back to the modern era, that is, there is no body, so why bury Jingling? Secondly, the concubines in "Palace" have been living in the Cold Palace and have an attitude of not having any contact with Kangxi's old death. But in fact, Concubine Liang did not enter the Cold Palace, and she was also favored by the Kangxi Emperor. Otherwise, why sacrifice her with two sacrifice texts? This is very rare among so many concubines of Kangxi.
Kangxi and Concubine Liang
The relationship between Kangxi and Concubine Liang has always been an important topic of discussion among scholars studying Qing history. At present, there are roughly several theories: First, Kangxi has feelings for Concubine Liang; Second, Kangxi was extremely contemptuous, even disgusted, of concubines.
First of all, their main argument for Kangxi's affection for Concubine Liang is that the Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty compiled during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty record that the Kangxi Emperor once angrily scolded Brother Baba as "the son of a believer in the Treasury". But apart from this book, there is no such record, not even in the Kangxi Emperor's handwritten edicts. As we all know, before the death of the Kangxi Emperor, the battle for the throne between the Yongzheng Emperor and the Eighth Brother, who was still the fourth brother, was the most intense. The "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty" is from the early Yongzheng period, which had just succeeded to the throne, so it was not impossible for the historians at that time, either in order to please the current emperor or at the behest of Yongzheng at that time, maliciously slandered the Eight Brothers. Therefore, whether the Kangxi Emperor had said this sentence at that time, there are still certain doubts.
As for the second statement, the basis is relatively sufficient. Since Liangfei entered Kangxi's sight, it can almost be said that she was a good concubine, first a good nobleman, then a good concubine, and knew that it was a good concubine in the end. And Concubine Liang herself was also the last concubine of the Kangxi Dynasty to be canonized, the latest to give birth to a prince, and the most junior in seniority. After Kangxi was crowned empress, the concubines who were canonized alone could be counted with a slap. And Liangfei was one of them, and one of the five concubines of Kangxi. In addition, after The death of Concubine Liang, the Kangxi Emperor wrote two tributes to her in a row in order to pay tribute to her. Notice, it's two. This treatment in the Kangxi Dynasty can be said to be supreme. I think that when the queen died, it was just like that. And the sacrifice ceremony was also presided over by the Kangxi Emperor himself. Judging from the above evidence, the Kangxi Emperor still had deep feelings for Concubine Liang.
But the real history is not clear, and we can no longer verify the feelings between Kangxi and Liangfei.
