Aisin Gioro · Hongli was the grandson of the Kangxi Emperor and the son of the Yongzheng Emperor. After the death of Yongzheng in 1735, Hongli ascended the throne as emperor and was Emperor Qianlong.
Qianlong not only lived a long life, reigned for a long time, and created the famous "prosperous era of Kangqian", a famous emperor in China's feudal society, but also an extremely "romantic" emperor. There are few anecdotes about his affairs.
When Qianlong was 88 years old, he was about to die, and he also accepted a 13-year-old beautiful girl as a concubine.
For this woman, it was really a tragedy, because the old husband and young wife with such a disparity in age had no happiness at all, and she began to be widowed in the second year.
Why did Qianlong, who was so old, marry this woman? Let's move on.
The marriages of the children and grandchildren of the royal family are mostly involuntary, because they are often inextricably linked to politics.
At the beginning of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, he actually cultivated Hongli as a prince, so the wife of the prince and the future queen candidate can be said to be the top priority.
In the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727), Hongli and Fucha became husband and wife. The Fucha clan was born in a famous Manchurian family, and this marriage arranged by the emperor himself still has a strong political connotation.
Fortunately, Fucha is both beautiful and capable, and is deeply loved by her husband. After Hongli ascended the throne, the Fucha clan became the queen. She was meticulous in managing things, decent, and became Qianlong's virtuous helper.
Qianlong once praised his queen: "After looking at the sages of the ancients, there is no way to Gazi", although it is a bit of a braggart, but Fucha is indeed more qualified to be the queen.
It's just a pity that in the 13th year of Qianlong's reign, the Fucha clan died.
The departure of the Fucha clan became an eternal wound in Qianlong's heart, and in the years that followed, Qianlong always missed her.
In 1796, Qianlong, who had reigned for 60 years, was given the throne to his son Emperor Jiaqing, and he retreated to the second line.
But the situation at that time, although the country had changed to a new emperor, most of the power was actually still in the hands of Qianlong, and Emperor Jiaqing couldn't do anything big.
Who doesn't have a fire in his heart, Emperor Jiaqing, who has been the crown prince for so many years, has also thought of a lot of ways to control the government as soon as possible, including beauty schemes.
Emperor Jiaqing issued an edict to draft the draft, which was selected for himself and for Qianlong.
He knew that Bai Yueguang in his father's heart was the queen of the Fucha clan, so he specially asked the Fucha family to send a few talented and good-looking women into the palace.
Such a good opportunity, of course, the Fucha family would not let it go, so a thirteen-year-old woman walked into the eyes of Emperor Jiaqing.
The woman looked at the emperor's fiery eyes, very excited, she hoped to be favored by the emperor, so as to reach the peak of life.
It's a pity that the result of the matter was beyond her expectations, she was successfully elected, but instead of becoming the concubine of Emperor Jiaqing, she became her "mother".
Because Jiaqing gave himself to his father Qianlong, and all this is only because he is somewhat similar to his aunt and grandmother, Queen Fucha.
She wanted to cry, but it was useless, she couldn't get rid of the arrangement of fate, so she had to enter Qianlong's palace.
Bai Yueguang's lethality is still very strong, Empress Fucha has been gone for decades, and Qianlong's thoughts about her are flooding.
When Qianlong saw this 13-year-old girl for the first time, it was as if he saw Bai Yueguang, who was married to him at the age of 15, and of course he was very happy in his heart.
In this way, Qianlong happily accepted the "Little Fucha" arranged by Jiaqing for himself, and named her "Jin Noble".
Qianlong was 88 years old this year.
In the final analysis, this "Jin nobleman" is actually a pawn of Emperor Jiaqing.
Jiaqing hoped that Qianlong could play more with this "Jin nobleman" in his later years, which would not only alleviate his longing for Empress Fucha, but also make him unconcerned about state affairs, so as to give him more power in the court.
As for whether Jin Guiren is happy and how bitter he is in his heart, I believe that no one will care and understand too much except for the 13-year-old girl herself.
When she was sent to the palace and became Jiaqing's pawn, she was doomed to tragedy and helplessness in the second half of her life.
After all, Qianlong's health has not been very good, so in February 1796, that is, the second year of Jin nobles entering the palace, Qianlong died in the Yangxin Palace.
In this way, the Jin nobleman, who was only 14 years old, became a widow at the same age as a flower and a widow with no children and no daughters.
Her life is at a glance, and she is lonely and lonely in the palace until she is old, which has to make people feel distressed.
Flowers bloom and fall, year after year, Jin nobles spend themselves in the harem for ten years, and by the time Jiaqing's son Emperor Daoguang ascended the throne, she had become the oldest concubine in the harem.
As the only living concubine of his grandfather Qianlong, Daoguang issued an edict to promote the 39-year-old Jin nobleman to the imperial ancestor Jin concubine, and the corresponding treatment and specifications have been improved.
But for her, who has been widowed for most of her life, there is not much change and significance.
The next year, the 40-year-old Imperial Ancestor Concubine Jin ended her 27-year court career and completed her miserable and helpless life.
The helplessness of the Jin nobles is not the epitome of the lives of most women under the imperial system.
