In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was a noble empress, but she suffered the tragic fate of being deposed. When she was pregnant with Rokka, she was picked up from the palace by her biological father. The queen's life was full of ups and downs, but what happened to her in the end? Did she find true happiness? Let's walk into this little-known history and uncover the mystery of the queen.
The life of the Borzigit clan
In the history of the Qing Dynasty, the Borzigit clan was undoubtedly a legendary figure. She was born into a princely and aristocratic family in the Horqin tribe of Mongolia, and her father, Wu Keshan, was the famous Prince Zhuoliktu at that time. The Borzigit clan came from a prominent family and was inextricably linked to the royal family. What's even more extraordinary is that she also had a relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang at that time and was the niece of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
From an early age, Borzigit was intelligent, beautiful and generous, and stood out among his peers. She received a good education, was fluent in Mongolian and Manchu, and was fluent in Chinese. In addition to her linguistic talents, Borzigit was also good at riding and archery and embroidery, and was a talented and beautiful woman.
In 1651, at the age of 14, Borzigit married Emperor Shunzhi and became the empress of the Qing Dynasty. This marriage was a sensation at the time, and the whole country was talking about it. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had high hopes for the marriage, hoping to consolidate the rule of Emperor Shunzhi and prevent the imperial power from falling into the hands of the regent Dorgon.
On the day of Borzigit's wedding, the pomp and circumstance were unprecedented. The wedding ceremony was solemn and solemn, and the princes and ministers of the whole country came to congratulate them, and hundreds of officials worshipped and announced to the world. Dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress, the Borzigit clan is beautiful and dignified, like a fairy descending to earth. The young Emperor Shunzhi was also heroic and high-spirited. The couple completed the wedding under the watchful eye and became an enviable pair of golden boys and girls.
However, this seemingly perfect marriage planted the seeds of tragedy in the future. Although the Borzigit clan came from a noble background, they never wanted to become empress. Her arrogant and willful personality is incompatible with Emperor Shunzhi's frugal and introverted style. Coupled with the constraints of court life, Borzigit gradually felt uncomfortable.
As the empress, the Borzigit clan should lead by example and live in harmony with the harem concubines. But because she was jealous, she often beat and scolded her favorite concubine, which caused Emperor Shunzhi's dissatisfaction. The conflict between the husband and wife deepened, which eventually led to the breakdown of the marriage.
The Borzigit clan has repeatedly complained to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, hoping that the Empress Dowager can come forward to mediate. However, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has always respected Emperor Shunzhi's decision, and she is powerless to change the situation. The Borzigit clan watched their status in the palace plummet, and their hearts were full of remorse and helplessness.
Once, Borzigit thought that if he married the emperor, he would enjoy all the glory and wealth, but he did not expect the empress's life to be so difficult. Her arrogance and willfulness may not be anything on the grassland, but in the palace that pays attention to rules and ranks, it has become her Achilles' heel. The young Borzigit clan was destined to face all kinds of challenges and tribulations from the moment he became queen. And this is just the beginning of her ups and downs in life.
The queen's life was not satisfactory
After the Borzigit clan married into the palace, he thought that he could live a carefree life from now on. However, she soon discovers that life in the palace is not as good as she imagined. As a queen, she needs to always pay attention to her words and deeds, and abide by the etiquette and rules of the palace.
What made Borzigit feel even more uncomfortable was that Emperor Shunzhi had a completely different personality and way of doing things from her. Emperor Shunzhi was frugal by nature and advocated a simple life. He often wore cloth clothes, ate coarse tea and light meals, and hated extravagance. And Borzigit has been pampered since he was a child, and he is accustomed to a life of fine clothes and food. She likes to wear gold and silver, wear all kinds of jewelry, and even the tableware for eating must be made of pure gold.
Emperor Shunzhi was very dissatisfied with the empress's practices, and repeatedly exhorted her to live frugally, but the Borzigit clan was unwilling to change. She believes that she has finally married into the royal family and deserves to enjoy these luxurious lives. The husband and wife had serious disagreements on this issue, and the contradictions deepened day by day.
In addition to the difference in lifestyle, Borzigit's jealousy also puts her in a difficult situation in the harem. As the queen, she should be generous and live in harmony with the harem concubines. However, the Borzigit clan often beat and scolded their favorite concubines because of jealousy, causing dissatisfaction in the harem. Once, Emperor Shunzhi favored a young and beautiful palace maid, and Borzigit was furious when he learned about it, slapped the palace maid in public, and ordered her to be imprisoned in the cold palace.
Emperor Shunzhi was very annoyed by the empress's behavior and warned her many times not to do it again. But instead of repenting, Borzigit intensified. She often searched the harem for the faults of those concubines who were favored by Emperor Shunzhi, and then punished them. These actions completely angered Emperor Shunzhi, and his dissatisfaction with the empress reached an extreme.
Seeing this, the Borzigit clan complained to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang many times, hoping that the Empress Dowager would come forward to mediate the conflict between her and Emperor Shunzhi. Although the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang loved this niece, she could not change Emperor Shunzhi's decision. Under the persuasion of the Queen Mother, the Borzigit clan once restrained a little, but her nature was difficult to change, and she soon reverted to her old ways.
Finally, Emperor Shunzhi was completely disappointed with the empress and ordered her to move out of the empress's dormitory and live elsewhere. Borzigit never expected that his status in the palace would fall to such a point. She was filled with remorse, but it was too late.
The relationship between the husband and wife broke down completely, and they became strangers. Although the Borzigit clan was named the empress, she never had the opportunity to meet Emperor Shunzhi again. She spends her days in the cold palace, and her heart is full of desolation and despair. Once, she thought that she was married to a man who loved her, and that she could be crowned king in the palace and be favored. But reality gave her a heavy slap in the face, which made her taste the fall from grace.
As Borzigit contemplates her life in the cold palace, she begins to realize that not all gold, silver, and jewelry bring happiness. She paid a terrible price for her arrogance and willfulness, lost the honor of the queen, and lost the love of her husband. Remorse and sadness filled her heart, but everything was irreparable.
A turning point in his life after being deposed
In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, Borzigit's life ushered in a dramatic turn. In this year, Emperor Shunzhi finally made up his mind to depose the empress, who gave him a headache. When the news came out, the whole country was shocked, and everyone talked about it.
At this moment, Borzigit's father, Wu Keshan, made an astonishing move. Desperate and risking offending the emperor, he personally came to the palace to take his daughter home. Wu Keshan is a father who understands righteousness, he knows that his daughter's situation in the palace is irretrievable, and instead of letting her be depressed in the cold palace, it is better to let her return to the grassland and start a new life.
Emperor Shunzhi was also quite surprised by Wu Keshan's move, but he did not stop him. In his opinion, the Borzigit clan is no longer his queen, and Wu Keshan, as the prince of Zhuoliktu, is not a figure he can easily offend. So, with the acquiescence of Emperor Shunzhi, Wu Keshan left the palace with the Borzigit clan.
Leaving the palace, the Borzigit clan had mixed feelings. After all, she has lived in the palace for many years and has a deep attachment to everything here. But at the same time, she also clearly knew that she had no place in the palace. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself in the cold palace, it is better to start a new life.
Shortly after Borzigit left the palace, an astonishing news came. It was discovered that the former queen was pregnant with Rokka, and eventually gave birth to a baby boy. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar. People have speculated about who the child's father really is, whether it is Emperor Shunzhi, or Borzigit's lover outside the palace?
This issue has become an open case, which has sparked countless speculations and discussions. Some people say that the Borzigit clan has fallen out of favor in the palace for a long time, and it is impossible for them to conceive the child of Emperor Shunzhi. It is also said that Borzigit married a new love outside the palace, and this child is the illegitimate child of her and her lover. All kinds of rumors are disturbing, but no one knows the truth.
Borzigit did not respond to these rumors. She knew that she was no longer a queen, and there was no need to pay attention to the rights and wrongs. Her only wish now is to raise this hard-won child well and give him a stable life.
However, Borzigit soon found himself completely tired of his old life. The various constraints of the court and the identity of the queen have become her shackles. She longs for a peaceful and peaceful life, away from the strife of right and wrong.
Wu Keshan saw his daughter's thoughts and decided to find another family for her. Under his arrangement, Borzigit remarried a Mongol nobleman. Although this man does not have the power and status of Emperor Shunzhi, he can give the Borzigit clan a stable home.
The Borzigit clan gladly accepted the marriage. Before remarrying, she made a decision: to make a complete break with everything in the past. She is no longer the empress, nor is she the wife of Emperor Shunzhi. She wants to start a new life and forget about the unpleasant past.
Accompanied by her newlywed husband, Borzigit returned to the steppe. Here, no one cares that she was once an empress, and no one cares about her past. She is herself, an ordinary and free woman. Borzigit finally unloaded all his baggage and started a new life.
The happy old age of the queen
Leaving the palace and freed from the shackles of empress, the Borzigit clan began a new life. On the grassland, she stayed away from the right and wrong and strife of the court, and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.
Borzigit's new husband was a mild-mannered Mongolian nobleman who respected and loved the former empress. Under the care of her husband, Borzigit gradually forgot the pain of the past and showed a smile again.
The couple built their own home on the grassland and lived a simple and happy life. Borzigit took care of the household himself, taking care of her husband and children. She no longer wears gold and silver, but wears a simple Mongolian robe, no different from an ordinary herdsman woman. But even on the most ordinary days, the innate nobility of Borzigit is still impossible to ignore.
Borzigit's husband was an excellent hunter and often took her with him on horseback hunting. The days of galloping on the steppe made Borzigit feel extremely free and happy. She rediscovered the happy days of her childhood on the prairie, as if all the pain had passed and her life was finally back on track.
As the days passed, Borzigit's life became more and more satisfying. She and her husband are very affectionate, and the husband and wife are inseparable. Borzigit gave birth to several lovely children, and the family was happy and happy.
On the steppe, no one cares about the former empress status of the Borzigit clan. She is an ordinary wife, a loving mother. This simple and sincere life is extremely satisfying for Borzigit. She finally understands that true happiness lies not in the palace, but in having a husband who loves her, a warm home.
As the years passed, Borzigit gradually entered old age. Looking back, she was full of emotion. As the only deposed queen of the Qing Dynasty, her life can be described as ups and downs. But in the end, she reaped true happiness and joy.
The story of Borzigit has also become a good story on the grassland. People talk about the legendary experience of the former queen and admire her strength and courage. Borzigit used his life to prove a truth: happiness does not lie in identity and status, but in having an open heart and being with people who love him.
Until his death, the Borzigit clan lived in the steppe and never left. She and her husband are in love, and their children and grandchildren are around their knees, and they have spent a happy and healthy old age. This former queen has finally found her own happiness.
Borzigit's life is a story of love and freedom. Her experience teaches us that even in the most difficult times, as long as we have courage and hope, we can definitely find our own happiness. She used her life to compose a moving legend, which has become an eternal legend on the grassland.
