Great Qingqi Woman ~~ Uyashi

Uyashi

In the last episode, we talked about the life-and-death love between Shunzhi Ye and Dong Efei. In this episode, let's talk about Yongzheng's birth mother Wu Yashi.

I believe that many listeners are impressed by the empress dowager played by Taiwanese actor Liu Xuehua in the TV series "The Biography of Zhen Huan", yes, Wu Yashi is this Empress Xiaogongren, Zhen Huan's mother-in-law.

Her grandfather was the head of the dining room and was also a slave (slave) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At the age of fourteen, he should be elected to the palace as a sprinkler maid. At the age of seventeen, after encountering Kangxi, he was blessed with the opportunity to live in zhong pu palace. At that time, the Kangxi Emperor was very diligent, busy with government affairs and then forgot about the Wuya clan. It was not until two years later that he had the opportunity to be remembered by Kangxi again, so he became pregnant with a dragon species and was given the title of a nobleman. A few months later, he gave birth to a concubine. And this child was the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, that is, the future Yongzheng Emperor, who later gave birth to a son and was awarded the title of Concubine.

Uya was nineteen years old that year. It is not easy for a lowly "palace girl" who is responsible for serving tea and pouring water to ascend to the throne of yonghe Palace step by step. In addition to Kangxi's favor for her, a certain amount of cunning was essential. Fortunately, she did not use this kind of cunning as a tool for fame and profit, but used this wisdom to protect her children. The indifference to fame and fortune was perhaps the biggest reason why the emperor liked her.

This favored concubine of the Uya clan (one of the four concubines at that time) had a total of six children in her lifetime. Among them, the old fourth Yin Chan (Yongzheng Emperor) and the old fourteen Yin Yu are familiar to us in multiple film and television dramas. But although these two are brothers, they grew up around different "mothers", as we mentioned earlier, the Wuya clan was born in a humble place, because of the Qing Dynasty system, the status of the Wuya clan at that time could not raise sons, so it was raised by the noble Tong Jia clan. Although Yin Chan and his birth mother Wu Yashi had fixed meeting times such as an invitation or a happy birthday, under the strict system in the palace, it seemed that mother and child could neither be close nor lacked the necessary communication and communication. As Yongzheng himself said, "It is not as good as raising grace", perhaps in the eyes of Yongzheng at that time, the adoptive mother Tong Jiashi was a loving mother. Therefore, the relationship between Yongzheng and his biological mother Wu Yashi is not as good as that of his adoptive mother Tong Jiashi, which is also very natural.

Although Tong Jia died of illness when Yongzheng was eleven years old and returned to Wu Ya's side, his relationship with Wu Ya shi had become much estranged. Coupled with the fact that Yongzheng's personality is originally lonely and moody, the mother and son are extremely angry. When the old fourteen Yin Yu was born, Wu Yashi was already a concubine, who grew up around her birth mother since she was a child, coupled with a well-behaved and intelligent personality, and was very filial to her from a young age, naturally she was particularly fond of her.

I believe that many listeners are deeply impressed by the relationship between the empress dowager and Long Keduo in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", in the play, the empress dowager visited Long Keduo at night, and the two have not seen each other for many years, and they sigh at each other. The empress dowager also slowly spoke out about the feelings between the two of them that year, and said the things that she had hated for many years, that is, Roncodo told herself that Kangxi hated powder blue, and as a result, she let herself enter the palace.

　　Because the two people made an appointment that year, Princess De was going to lose the election, and then the two were together. So Princess De asked Longkodo to inquire about the color that Kangxi hated. When Roncodo told Princess De's kangxi that what she hated most was powder blue, Princess De's concubine wore powder blue clothes without hesitation. Unfortunately, Long Keduo deceived Princess De, so Princess De lost her love and was favored by Kangxi as a concubine.

Princess De is different from Roncodo, the original Princess De wanted to be with Roncodo who loved Roncodo, but although Roncodo liked Princess De, he valued power more, so he designed to deceive Princess De, let Princess De enter the palace, and listen to the news for himself. Although the later Princess De finally survived and became the empress, this matter has always been the most important thing she can not forget...

But does Uya really have such a relationship with Roncodo? If there really is, even if this Roncodo has more political achievements, he is still worthy of the word scumbag in terms of emotions.

Ti Yongzheng we have to mention the Nine Sons of the Concubine, although we are talking about the life of the Uya clan. Because in this struggle, Yongzheng did not give up dealing with Fourteen because of brotherhood

Sixty-one years after Kangxi, Kangxi died of illness and succeeded to the throne by Yongzheng before his death. Although the incident was sudden, Yongzheng was worthy of being a political master, and he ordered that the nine-door admiral Longkodo put martial law on the whole city, and after the completion of the succession ceremony, he announced kangxi's death and presided over the national funeral.

By the time the fourteenth Brother Yin yu arrived at the news, Yongzheng had become the new king.

Before he could act, Yongzheng relieved him of his military powers, summoned him back to the capital, kept him under close surveillance, and placed him under house arrest at Jingling. After that, he was suspended from his post and imprisoned in the Jingshan Shou Imperial Palace forever.

Because of Yongzheng's unkind suppression of Yin Yu, his birth mother Wu Yashi was doubly angry and accused him a lot, and even the empress dowager's honorific position had to be rejected.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, Wu Yashi said that he did not want to accept the blessing of "the Son of Heaven to raise the Virgin of the Mother of Heaven in the four seas", and wanted to die and go with emperor Kangxi, which greatly hurt Yongzheng's face. According to Yongzheng himself, "When the Emperor's father died, the Empress Dowager was in mourning and resolved to be buried with the Emperor's father, without drinking or eating. After prostrating his head and weeping, he said to his mother, "The Emperor has entrusted me with great things, and now my mother insists on martyrdom with death, what is the dependence of the courtiers there?" What will be done to the subjects of the world? Then I had to follow suit. This translation is probably that the practice of the Uya clan is simply adding to the chaos, as a son, I have no way, only you die and I die, and I still suffer from filial piety in the province, and I have no face to see the subjects of the world. In the end, Uyashi had to wear slippers and gave up the idea of suicide.

Of course, we, the Empress Dowager of the Uya clan, have not stopped making trouble ever since. November 20, 61, the year of the Kangxi Dynasty, was originally a festive day for Yongzheng to ascend the throne. Please come to the ceremony. Unexpectedly, Wu Yashi said: "The emperor's birth is on the throne, and he deserves to be congratulated." If you salute me, if there is any importance, don't do it! Wu Yashi's meaning seems to be that he has nothing to do with the new emperor Yongzheng's ascension to the throne and refuses to accept the ceremony, which makes Yongzheng's elaborate enthronement ceremony almost fail, which is really a big disaster. However, such a grand ceremony, without the attendance of the empress dowager in the eyes of the ancients, was always not justified, Yongzheng was made anxious, and in desperation, he had to go out on his own horse and plead repeatedly, and Wu Yashi reluctantly said, "The ministers and other ministers have invoked the great gifts performed by the former emperor to plead earnestly, and I have nothing to do." "Good one " helpless"! Listening to Wu Yashi's meaning, it seems that he only agreed to the request of the Qunchen because of the precedent of the previous emperor. The word is used, absolutely.

Not long after, it was The first birthday of Wu Yashi after Yongzheng ascended the throne. Logically, the empress dowager's birthday must have a ceremony called "Holy Birthday Festival" to show that the emperor honors his mother and "rules the world with benevolence and filial piety." The officials of the Ministry of Rites also planned to arrange for Yongzheng to lead the princes and ministers and the civil and military officials to celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager, but unexpectedly, the Wuya clan still did not give face, "obey the will of Yi, and avoid the ceremony." Yongzheng wanted to use this opportunity to improve his relationship with his birth mother, let his mother accept the title, and move to Ningshou Palace, but Wu Yashi seemed to have expected it and refused to open his mouth before Yongzheng could open his mouth

In history, there are many passages of discord between Yongzheng mother and son. Whether the specific reason for the mother-son discord is a hidden affair with Long Keduo or because of the unscrupulous means of the Ninth Son's conquest of his own brother, the Fourteenth Brother Yinyu, we, as the officials of the hereafter, are completely unknown.

In the first year of Yongzheng, Wu Yashi died suddenly, and in the "Records of Sejong", it is only recorded that it is "accumulated for a long time", and some people speculate that Wu Yashi wants to see his younger son, the Yongzheng Emperor does not allow it, she crashed into the iron pillar and died in one breath, but how she died and why she died is still a mystery.
