In the long history of post-Jin Jianzhou, there is a woman's tragic fate that is embarrassing. She is Nurhachi's daughter Mukush, and she has little control over her life trajectory in her life.
Mukush didn't enjoy much paternal love since she was a child, and her mother was only a concubine in Nurhachi's harem.
At the age of 14, she was a victim of a political marriage and married Buzhantai, the most powerful of the four Jurchen tribes in Haixi.
The purpose of this family affair was to enable Nurhachi to weaken the strength of the Urabe tribe and thus consolidate his dominance among the Jurchens.
Poor Mukush was nothing more than a chess player, and her life was dominated by someone else from the beginning.
In Buzhantai's home, Mukush was abused. It is outrageous that this brutal and tyrannical tribal leader would shoot Mukush with an arrow while she was pregnant. Suffering such cruelty at such a young age, Mukush's soul was deeply traumatized.
Fortunately, her father, Nurhachi, eventually stepped forward and launched a war against the Urabe, bringing his daughter back from that purgatory-like place. It's a pity that even so, Mukush's tragic life has not ended.
Soon after returning home, Mukush was used again by his father as a political bargaining chip, marrying a 52-year-old courtier.
This hero was Nurhachi's confidant, helping him to establish a territory and hold a high position in the tribe.
Nurhachi betrothed his daughter to him, partly to compensate Mukush for his wrongs, and partly to further consolidate his power base. In any case, Mukush's will is simply out of the question.
Entering the home of Eyidu, Mukush lived another lonely and lonely life. Although the old general did not have much ill will towards her, there was a lack of intimacy between the two, and the marriage was purely an alliance of interests. Where is the happiness that the bride dreams of?
Soon after, Mukush became pregnant, but she knew in her heart that the child she gave birth was destined to be involved in Game of Thrones. The love between mother and child is bound by the interests of reality, which makes people sigh infinitely.
Sure enough, Mukush's son, Kupilon, became one of the four auxiliary ministers in the early Qing Dynasty. It seems to be a great honor, but behind it is the endless tears and pain of the mother.
Mukush's fate in life is like a bumpy mountain road, and every time she thinks she can get a moment of respite, fate pushes her down a more difficult path again.
Soon after the death of Eyidu, according to Jurchen custom, Mukush, a widow, could be "inherited" by her son, Kupilon.
Eventually, however, she was forced to marry Turg, the eighth son of Eyidu, a young man a year younger than her.
This is Mukush's third marriage, but like the first two, it also lacks a foundation in love. The union of the two is purely out of the needs of political and ethnic interests, and there is no emotion at all.
At Turg's home, Mukush lived a life of neglect. Although in order to save face, they maintain the image of husband and wife externally, but in fact they are boring and disgusting with each other.
Mukush's heart was once again clouded, and her dream of a happy life was completely shattered in this seemingly detached marriage.
The days passed day by day in loneliness and suffering, and her life seemed to be trapped in an abyss of never-ending despair.
Eventually, a scandal erupted over Mukush's identity, which led to her losing her title of Princess Heshuo and forcing her to divorce Turg, leaving her distant from the center of court power.
At the age of 65, Mukush left the palace to live with her brothers. Her unattainable dream of happiness and love turned into a whine that ended without a problem.
Looking back on Mukush's life, the pain and injustice she experienced are destined to make people sigh. Since she was born, she has been a pawn in the hands of her father Nurhachi, who has been sacrificed in Game of Thrones.
None of her three marriages were of her own volition, all of them were aimed at achieving political alliances and consolidating her dominance.
Her happiness was forever suppressed under the weight of profit, and her personal will was completely disrespected in that era.
Mukush's tragedy is not only her personal misfortune, but also reflects the one-sided perception and strict constraints on the role of women in society at that time.
Women are seen as pawns at will, lacking the most basic dignity and autonomy.
Her life is a microcosm of the tragic fate of countless women in that era, and it is also a vivid portrayal of women's oppression and self-loss.
Through this journey, perhaps we can better reflect and wake up, and awaken ourselves to the importance and protection of women's rights and interests.
