Among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was definitely the most bizarre, because he not only married the daughter-in-law of other people's families, but also gave his daughter-in-law to others, which was really surprising! Today, the author wants to talk about a woman who remarried to Huang Taiji, her status was even higher than that of Empress Xiaozhuang, and after her death, Kangxi would personally pay tribute, and this woman was Yijing Grand Concubine.
What is the origin of this Yijing Grand Noble Concubine?
It turned out that Yijing's noble concubine, surnamed Borjigit, was the daughter of a nobleman from the Mongolian Abayabu, and her father, Ezignoyan, was a prince of the Abbabu. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongol tribes were divided, among which the Chahar Tribe, which had always regarded itself as Mongol orthodoxy, quickly swept through the Mongolian desert under the leadership of Lin Dan Khan. In order to safeguard the interests of the clan, Ezignoyan married his daughter Borzigit to Lin Dan Khan, who is what we call The Great Concubine of Yijing.
After marrying Lin Dan Khan, the Borjigit clan was deeply favored, and soon after he was named Doro Dafujin (正室大福晋), ranking first among the eight Great Fujin. However, at this time, the Houjin regime in the northeast, under the leadership of Emperor Taiji, launched an offensive against the Chahar Department, and after three conquests, Lin Dan Khan finally fell ill and died of illness in Qinghai, and died of depression.
After the death of Lin Dan Khan, his people immediately lost their main backbone and scattered, and the first to submit to Emperor Taiji was Bard Agate Borch Fujin, who ranked fourth among the Eight Great Fujins, who remarried to Emperor Taiji shortly after his return, and she was the Yanqing Palace Lady Lady Bart Ma Xuan among the concubines of the Later Chongde Five Palaces.
Seeing that The Bad Agate Boqi Fujin had submitted to Emperor Taiji, and the other Fujins of Lin Dan Khan also had the idea of surrendering, so just after the Borzigit clan had just given birth to Lin Dan Khan's widow Abu Nai in the eighth year of Tiancong, she remarried to Huang Taiji with her child, and the Borzigit clan was the first of the eight great blessings of Lin Dan Khan, and the number of people and property was also the largest, so the Emperor Taiji Long Yan was overjoyed and joyfully accepted this widow.
It is said that although the Borjigit clan was once the wife of others, it still had charm and was deeply favored by the Emperor Taiji, and in the six years of marrying the Emperor Taiji, she gave birth to two children, namely the eleventh daughter of the Emperor Gulun Duanshun and the eleventh son of the Emperor, Bomu Boguo'er.
In the first year of Chongde, Emperor Taiji declared the emperor in Shengjing to establish the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time divided the five palace concubines, and the Borjigit clan was crowned as a noble concubine, Julin toe Palace, ranking third among the five palace concubines, and the status was higher than that of the Zhuang concubines (孝庄) of Yongfu Palace. It should be noted that the noble concubines of the Borjigit clan here are not concubine ranks, but titles, so the first noble concubine of the Qing Dynasty is not the Borjigit clan.
Soon after Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, the Borjigit clan was given the title of princess, and then entered the golden forbidden city from the dragon into the pass, at that time, the Borjigit clan and Consort Kang Huishu lived together in the two concubines palace in the north of the Cining Palace, and the other concubines of the Emperor Taiji lived with Empress Xiaozhuang in the Cining Palace and several other partial palaces.
It is worth mentioning that after Kangxi succeeded to the throne, every time he asked for peace, he first went to the Borjigit clan (Yijing Grand Concubine) Namu Zhong to ask for peace, and then went to the empress dowager (Xiaozhuang) and the empress dowager (filial piety) to ask for peace, which shows that the Borjigit clan was still very respected in the Qing Palace at that time.
In the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Yijing's grand concubine Borjigit died of illness in the Forbidden City, and Kangxi took the empress dowager (Xiaohui) to her coffin to pay homage, and then Yijing's grand concubine Zigong was sent to Shengjing for cremation and buried in the Zhaoling Guifei Garden.
