Speaking of the most controversial emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it is none other than the Yongzheng Emperor, Yongzheng's controversy mainly focuses on whether he inherits the throne legally, on this topic, it can be said that the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise, and there is no conclusion for the time being. However, from the perspective of merit, Yongzheng is indeed a good emperor, the most prominent is the diligence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most diligent emperor in history.
Under the diligent administration, Yongzheng naturally did not have so many voices and horses, so there would never be a scene in history that circled between various concubines like in the "Biography of Zhen Huan".
According to historical records, there were about thirty or so concubines in the Yongzheng Harem, although there were a lot of them, but the vast majority of them were some low-level concubines who were similar to those who were always present and promised, and only eight people could obtain concubines or above, namely Empress Xiaojingxian, Empress Xiaoshengxian, Empress Dunsu, Concubine Chunyi, Concubine Qi, Concubine Ning, Concubine Qian, and Concubine Mao.
Below the concubine is the noble level, this article is about a noble person in the Yongzheng harem, she is most likely yongzheng's last concubine, she is Zhang Guiren.
According to historical records, Zhang Guiren sealed Changzai in March of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, saying that Zhang Changzai was there.
Through this information, we can see that Zhang Guiren is likely to be a clothed woman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who entered the palace through the palace maid draft, and was summoned by Yongzheng because of her outstanding appearance, thus becoming a small lord of the harem of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Zhang Guiren's age will not be too large, it should be between the ages of 13 and 17.
What people did not expect was that after only one month, Yongzheng promoted Zhang Guiren to a nobleman, but just a few days after Zhang Guiren was made a nobleman, she passed away, that is to say, Zhang Guiren's last promotion may be a kind of comfort for Yongzheng before his death.
However, yongzheng did not give this kind of comfort to the concubine who was about to die, and before the death of Emperor Dunsu's concubine, she was also promoted to imperial concubine, which was obviously also a kind of comfort similar to the nature of "Chong Xi".
What is even more unexpected is that just four months after Zhang Guiren's death, Yongzheng died in the Yuanmingyuan, and in these four months, Yongzheng never crowned other concubines, so Zhang Guiren is most likely the last concubine of Yongzheng to be personally canonized.
After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he properly arranged the concubines of his father Yongzheng ji, who died, and in addition to burying his father Yongzheng with Empress Xiaojingxian and The Noble Concubine of Emperor Dunsu in The Tailing Tomb, he also buried Zhang Guiren and other concubines in the Tailing Concubine Garden.
