In December of the 26th year of The Kangxi Dynasty, Xiaozhuang was critically ill, and Kangxi insisted on serving day and night, personally serving the soup medicine, and personally led the princely ministers to walk to the Temple of Heaven, weeping and praying to heaven, reducing his life expectancy to increase his grandmother's lifespan.
However, life, old age, illness and death are the only way for everyone,
On the twenty-fifth day, Xiaozhuang completed her life journey and passed away peacefully at the age of seventy-five.
After Xiaozhuang died, there was one thing that many people couldn't understand.
That was her last words and aftermath.
When Xiaozhuang was seriously ill, he said:
The coffin of Xiaozhuang, since April of the 27th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, has been placed next to the "Temporary An Fengdian Hall" next to the tomb of the Shunzhi Emperor.
I just didn't expect this release to be as long as 37 years.
It was not until the third year of Yongzheng that the Zhaoxi Mausoleum was built on the spot, and the remains of Xiaozhuang were officially buried.
What was the reason that the always filial Kangxi did not bury his grandmother's body until his death?
What is even more strange is that Xiaozhuang not only did not share the burial with her husband Emperor Taiji, but the Zhaoxi Tomb was even built outside the "Feng Shui Wall", and the treatment after death did not look as good as that of his own personal servant Su Moer.........
Therefore, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, there is another "mystery case".
Many people believe that this just shows that Xiaozhuang once "married" Dolgun and had no face to go to Shenyang to "meet" her ex-husband Emperor Taiji.
Then, after Xiaozhuang's death, why was the body not buried for 37 years, and did the "empress dowager marry" really have a cause?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="233" > a woman who is gentle and affectionate, but with a mission</h1>
Empress Xiaozhuangwen, known as Borjigit Bumubutai, the younger daughter of the Mongolian Horqin BeleZaisan, married the 34-year-old Huang Taiji at the age of 13, becoming the Western Palace Fujin in the "Five Palaces" of the Imperial Taiji.
The reason why this marriage was concluded was closely related to Princess Zhuang's aunt, The Emperor Taiji's concubine Borjigit Zhezhe.
After Zhe Zhe married Emperor Taiji, he did not come out for many years,
This worried the Mongol princes, who earnestly hoped that Zhe zhe would soon give birth to a prince with Mongol blood to consolidate Manchu-Mongolian relations.
But they waited for twelve years, and seeing that Zhe Zhe had not yet given birth to a son and a half daughter, they sent another Gege of the Borzigit clan to succeed Zhe Zhe to complete this mission.
Therefore, the thirteen-year-old Bumubutai was escorted by his brother Wu Keshan to Shenyang City.
Bumubutai is very favored, and Zhezhe, who has been infertile for many years, seems to be happy because of the arrival of his niece.
One by one, the aunts and nephews' stomachs began to move, and they frequently gave birth to children for the Emperor Taiji.
Unfortunately, however, they all gave birth to daughters....
The Mongolian Horqin could no longer bear it, so he simply sent another Gege, Bumubutai's sister Hai lanzhu.
Although it is not clear why the Korqin Ministry sent an elderly Gege who was over 26 years old,
But obviously, Hai LanZhu is more understanding than Bumubutai, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was deeply loved by the Emperor Taiji.
Before giving birth, he had already ranked above his sister Bumubutai, second only to his aunt Zhezhe, and if he did not have this relationship, I am afraid that the position of the main palace would also be Hai lanzhu's.
Hai Lanzhu not only spoiled the harem, but also had a very competitive stomach, and won the male in one fell swoop, giving birth to the eighth son for the Emperor Taiji,
Happily, Bumubutai also gave birth to the ninth son Fulin for Emperor Taiji half a year later.
To say how the relationship between the two sisters is, it is not at all like the fight for favors as described in the wild history,
In fact, from the perspective of Zhezhe, Bumubutai and Hailanzhu and Bumubutai fertility,
The three nephews are very united,
And has been firmly controlling the opportunity to have children, with one purpose - to give birth to a boy with Mongolian ancestry,
Seeing this, everyone may understand,
Later, why did Xiaozhuang oppose Shunzhi's idea of passing the throne to his adult brothers, insisting that his 7-year-old grandson Kangxi succeed to the throne – of Mongolian origin.
Then, now look at her relationship with Huang Taiji and her relationship with Dolgun, is it much clearer?
According to the idea of the Mongol princes, if a prince with Mongolian blood can inherit the Later Jin Dynasty, it is the best,
Things originally developed in the ideal direction, AiWu and Wu, Huang Taiji had high hopes for the son born to Hai Lanzhu.
However, this child was blessed and died before he reached the age of one year.
Hai Lanzhu could not bear the pain of losing her son, and she died a few years later.
It is conceivable that the major mission has been handed over to Bumubutai, but obviously, her future path will be much more difficult than That of Hailanzhu.
Fu Lin is not the husband's favorite son, and there is no hope of inheriting the throne.
Unexpectedly, the power struggle of the Qing Dynasty brought opportunities to Bumubutai.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="24" > clams compete, and the fisherman wins</h1>
On August 9, 1643, Emperor Taiji died suddenly.
Since he did not appoint an heir before his death, nor did he leave any last words, there is no doubt that his death will trigger another imperial struggle in the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, the most fierce candidates for the throne were The Prince of Rui, Dorgon, and the Prince of Su, Hauge.
In principle, Hauge is the eldest son of Emperor Taiji, who has repeatedly built military merits, and it is reasonable for Hauge to inherit the unification, and the two yellow flags and the positive blue flags support Hauge.
However, the Dorgon faction of the two white flags disagreed,
Compared with Hauge, Dorgon is more brilliant and no one can compare.
Because of the question of who will succeed to the throne, the two sides have launched a fierce war of words, and even posed as if they wanted to fight each other to the death.
Originally, Dorgon did want to compete for the throne, but he saw that the situation was not favorable to him, and he hesitated at the thought of the possible dynastic infighting.
Finally, he came up with a plan to have both worlds: let Fu Lin, the ninth son of the former emperor, succeed him as emperor, and he and Zilharang assisted the government.
This proposal was soon approved by the two yellow flags, who did not insist on the establishment of Hauge, but advocated the establishment of the "son of the first emperor".
Fu Lin is indeed the most suitable candidate, although Hauge is the eldest son, but the birth mother is not among the five palaces of Fujin,
What's more, behind The Mother of Fulin, Bumubutai, is the Mongolian Korqin Department.
In fact, it is precisely because of this layer of relationship that Dorgon proposed to be succeeded by Fu Lin, so that the two yellow flags can also be accepted, and he can also quietly guide the situation to his own side.
Who would have thought that there would eventually be such a result: the clams competed, the fishermen won profits, and Fu Lin, who was less than six years old, became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Since then, it has also made his mother Bumubutai officially enter the stage of history.
Behind this struggle for the throne, whether there is a push from zhezhe's aunt and nephew is unknown to us.
But this result was exactly what the Mongol princes wanted—a Qing emperor of Mongolian descent.
However, no one cares what young Fu Lin thinks.
Many years later, the relationship between him and his birth mother Xiaozhuang became very tense, and he made a farce of "becoming a monk".
Did he not want to be the emperor, or was it because Xiaozhuang had done something that was difficult for him to accept?
It is also true why Dorgon has been sheltering orphans and widows with weak strength,
If it was only a stopgap measure before, he was able to establish Fu Lin, but since then he has had many opportunities to seize the throne.
But why didn't he do it?
Often some people think that it is related to the "marriage of the empress dowager", so is there really a thing?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="31" > the legend of "the empress dowager marrying"</h1>
This is a story that has been circulating for more than three hundred years, and it is said that Empress Xiaozhuang was "married" to Dorgon.
The first to expose this "fierce material" was Zhang Huangyan, the soldier shangshu of the Southern Ming Hongguang regime.
He wrote in the poem "Words of the Jianzhou Palace":
Shangshou Was honored as a Hezun, and the Cining Palace was rotten. The Spring Palace entered a new ceremony yesterday, and the big gift was given to the empress dowager for marriage.
Ye Ting also heard the Fu clan, and the wonderful selection of widows and mothers. Pepper Temple dreamed of going back to the rain to disperse, and mistakenly made shrimp as dragons.
Such a poem that denigrated the opponent became a topic of debate for more than three hundred years.
Some people believe that this is pure rumor-mongering: Zhang Huangyan was in the south when he wrote his poems, and he was an enemy of the Qing Dynasty, how much credibility did his poems have? What's more, why is there no record of such a major event in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and even if the country is destroyed, then why is there no record of the Lee Dynasty in North Korea?
Another part of the people believe that this incident did happen: Zhang Huangyan arranged a detailed work in the Qing Palace, so he knew such a secret, and moreover, after dorgon's death, the Shunzhi Emperor dug a grave to vent his hatred, which was really extreme, and his relationship with Xiaozhuang's mother and son was not harmonious, if it were not for this matter, what else could it be? What's more, the Shunzhi Emperor's holy will repeatedly used the word "imperial father" to refer to Dolgun, which does not mean that Dolgun's stepfather identity, and after Empress Xiaozhuang's death, she was buried outside the feng shui wall, how to say that it is like she did something wrong.
In fact, Xiaozhuang could not "marry" Dolgun, and the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty at that time was not only Empress Xiaozhuang.
Zhe Zhe is still alive, how could she agree to such a chaotic marriage relationship?
What's more, the mother and son of Xiaozhuang were not helpless, the political situation in the early Qing Dynasty was unstable, and the Mongolian Horqin Department was still the key object of the Qing Dynasty.
Even if Dorgon is powerful, he only has two banners in his hands, and there are still remnants of the Southern Ming forces, not that he wants to ascend the throne, there is no need for Xiaozhuang to do anything, Dorgon will not act rashly, even if Hauge is dead.
Moreover, the title of "Emperor Father" is too far from "Stepfather", and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty called his father "Huang Kao" and "Huang Ama", and how to say "Emperor Father",
The meaning of "father" here is similar to that of "shang father" and "middle father" in ancient times, which may be similar to the "godfather" of modern Western china.
In short, this does not mean that "the empress dowager married".
In addition, it may be possible to explain why the Shunzhi Emperor hated Dolgun, after all, the Kangxi Emperor also encountered the powerful minister Aobai,
But why is the relationship between filial piety mother and son so bad?
In fact, this has nothing to do with Dorgon, but the original identity of Empress Xiaozhuang - Mongolian Gege, she married Emperor Taiji with a mission.
After Folin ascended the throne, Dorgon, for political reasons, also chose a Borzigit woman for him.
It was none other than Empress Xiaozhuang's niece.
This also catered to XiaoZhuang's mind, and the emperor with Mongolian blood married an empress of Mongolian blood, and the prince born of Mongolian blood was more pure.
The Shunzhi Emperor was also growing, and he read a lot of Sinology classics and was deeply affected.
He could not bear the fate of his "puppet", but it was even more difficult to bear his mother to manipulate his fate, so he was very rebellious.
The Shunzhi Emperor was very resistant to the Borzigit clan, and he did not want to fall into this "bloodline" trick.
This Mongol empress was not only snubbed by the Shunzhi Emperor, but after two or three years of empty houses, she could not escape the fate of being deposed and was desolately beaten into the cold palace.
Subsequently, Empress Xiaozhuang chose a successor for her son, also of the Borjigit clan, and it was expected that the Shunzhi Emperor would pick his nose and eyes like the new empress, and still received a cold reception.
Not only that, all the concubines of the Mongolian Borjigit clan in the Shunzhi harem, like the fate of the empress, were not only unloved, but also "nothing" for life.
Although the situation of Mongolian women thriving in the harem of the Qing Dynasty continued until the Kangxi Dynasty, there were no longer Mongolian empresses,
After that, the Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing dynasties basically did not have Mongolian women entering the palace.
But in fact, from the beginning of the Shunzhi Dynasty, they only had the name of the empress, not the reality of the empress.
In this case, how can the relationship between filial piety and mother not be cracked?
Therefore, this does not mean that Xiaozhuang had married Dorgon.
So, after Xiaozhuang's death, why was the body not buried for 37 years, and is it related to this?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="359" After the death of > Xiaozhuang, why was the body not buried for 37 years? </h1>
XiaoZhuang's last words said, "When Yu Xiaoling is near the place of peace", but why did the Kangxi Emperor hesitate to bury her?
As a matter of fact
According to the tradition of the Qing Dynasty, Xiaozhuang should be buried with her husband Emperor Taiji after death, but Emperor Taiji was buried in Shengjing (present-day Shenyang), while Xiaozhuang died in Beijing.
Because of the relatively long years, Xiaozhuang did not want to disturb her husband's long sleep.
Therefore, Kangxi was asked to bury himself near the tomb of his son Shunzhi Emperor.
And the Kangxi Emperor was precisely because of his deep feelings for his grandmother, so he did not hastily bury Xiaozhuang,
It's not that the location of the mausoleum is not easy to choose, 37 years, how can you not pick a good place,
It is not what some people think, the tomb of the Shunzhi Emperor in the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty is the most honorable, and it is very difficult for Empress Xiaozhuang to be buried.
In fact, this is all because the Kangxi Emperor was reluctant to let his grandmother "fall into the ground" prematurely.
So stubbornly placed her in the "Temporary Ann Bong Temple",
It was even dismantled on the east side of the Cining Palace and rebuilt as it was, as it was, as it was, as the resting place of the empress dowager.
It was not until after Kangxi's death that the Yongzheng Emperor took the initiative to build Empress Xiaozhuang's "Temporary An Fengdian" into a mausoleum, named "Zhaoxi Mausoleum", and finally buried Empress Xiaozhuang solemnly.
Did you know that this has also become a "mystery case"?
