(A set of pictures of Qing Palace costumes)
I have always believed that Kangxi is legendary. His legend lies in his inheritance of the past and the future, in his former harem.
Chengqian, Shunzhi's throne was because of his own Empress Dowager Eji Xiaozhuang. The merits of Shunzhi itself are actually not much reflected in history. Mentioning him would only remind him of Dong Efei.
After the enlightenment, he ascended the throne at the age of eight, and cultivated heirs with superior abilities. Continued the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years. He has opened up territory all his life, and has never conceded defeat in his life.
When kangxi is mentioned, it will mention the kowloon conquest, and it will talk about capturing Aobai and taking Taiwan. However, Kangxi's own erotic past was much inferior in the face of his achievements.
It is not that Kangxi is not close to female color, on the contrary, Kangxi is keen on beauty, but he has never been obsessed with beauty.
Kangxi's mausoleum is located in Zunhua and is known as the Qingjing Mausoleum. In this mausoleum, there are not only tens of thousands of valuable funerary items, but also a man and five women entangled.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" >(i) Which five women? </h1>
Construction of Jingling began in the fifteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the first woman buried in The Jingling was Kangxi's wife, The Hesheli clan, Empress Xiaochengren.
The 11-year-old Herschel married Kangxi and accompanied Kangxi to regain imperial power, but died while giving birth to an heir, at the age of 21.
Herschel lishi accompanied Kangxi for ten years, and the life of qingmei bamboo horse was too short for herschel. Kangxi's guilt for this married wife was all given to the children of the Herschel clan, and Yin Rong, who was only two years old, became the crown prince. For Kangxi, Herschel was the white moonlight that could no longer be touched.
The second person buried in Jingling was Empress Dowager Kangxi, Empress Dowager Xiaozhaoren of the Niuhulu clan and Empress Xiaozhaoren.
Three years after Empress Hersheri's departure, Kangxi once again married the empress, the Niuhulu clan. Unlike the green plum bamboo horse of the Heschel clan, the Kangxi dynasty sealed the Niuhulu clan because of the balance of the court, this marriage, the marriage is greater than love.
Niu Hulu entered the palace at the age of 13 and became empress at the age of 25. A year later, the Niuhulu clan died at Khun Ninh Palace. He was 26 years old. Half the time of his life was related to Kangxi.
In kangxi's original harem, the women inside were very large. The first two empresses were dependents of the Auxiliary Chancellor, and Heschel was son's granddaughter and Soetu's niece. The Nyūrō clan was the daughter of Tsubilon.
Behind the two people, there is a complicated political game.
The third person buried in Jingling was the third empress of Kangxi, Tong Jiashi, Empress Xiaoyiren.
Tong Jiashi, in terms of status, is far inferior to the first two empresses. However, Tong Jia was Kangxi's cousin.
Because of the untimely death of the previous two empresses, Kangxi did not dare to appoint another empress, but instead crowned her cousin as an imperial concubine, who took the place of empress dowager.
However, Tong Jiashi was critically ill because of a small birth. In order to give his cousin Chong Xi, Kangxi was crowned empress, but after only one day as empress, Tong Jia died of illness in Chengqian Palace.
There is no birth date for Tong Jia in history, but Tong Jia died in the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, which is when Kangxi was 36 years old. It is known that Tong Jiashi was only about 30 years old and was buried in the deep palace. A day of queen, a day of honor, a lifetime of childlessness, a lifetime of bitterness.
If Empress Hesheli was a white moonlight, then tong Jiashi, the cousin who died at kangxi's best age, was a cinnabar mole.
The above three empresses were all kangxi canonized. Whether it is family lineage or feelings, it is enough to be worthy of the title of empress.
The fourth person buried in Jingling is Kangxi, 69 years old Kangxi in Changchun Garden to complete his vigorous life, while leaving behind the truth of the Kowloon conquest, and why the mystery of yongzheng?
A year after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, his birth mother Wu Ya died in Yonghe Palace at the age of 64. He was buried with Kangxi in Jingling.
The Uya clan was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, commonly known as the Palace Maid. Wu Yashi inherited the favor as a palace maid, and a year after giving birth to the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, he was promoted to a concubine and became the lord of the first palace. Princess De gave birth to six children within ten years, and in the late Kangxi Dynasty, she was extremely favored.
Wu Yashi was buried in Jingling as an empress because her mother was gui, and she was posthumously honored by her son Yongzheng. The fourth empress of the Kangxi Dynasty, Wu Yashi, Empress Xiaogongren.
Unlike the favor and honor of the first four, the last one buried in Jingling was not as an empress, but as an imperial concubine.
The Zhang Jia clan, like Princess De, was born as a palace maid, but the Zhang Jia clan, who gave birth to a son and two daughters, was not favored, and did not even have a formal canonization, and died in the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, and was posthumously honored by Kangxi as a concubine.
Kangxi died in November of the 61st year, after The Death of Kangxi. Yongzheng, who succeeded to the throne, because of the thirteenth brother Yinxiang, ordered that Concubine Min be posthumously honored as the noble concubine of The Jingmin Emperor, and was promoted two grades in a row. And Zhang Jia, who was buried in the Concubine Tomb, was buried in Jingling 23 years later, in the same cave as Kangxi's death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > (ii) How many concubines? </h1>
Kangxi set a precedent by burying the empress in the underground palace before the emperor.
Yongzheng also set a precedent, because of his younger brother Yin Xiang, he created the emperor's mausoleum to bury the imperial concubine.
Regarding the history of Kangxi, there are 55 concubines with names and surnames. But only five, either because of their status or their heirs, could accompany their husbands to be buried together.
In the best flower season, they walked into the palace wall, so that they were trapped in the palace wall for the rest of their lives. The raised eyes are blue sky, and the low eyes are red tiles.
Day after day, disappointment after year. The cycle repeats...
That cold dungeon is the honor of a lifetime, and it is also the liberation of a lifetime.
