Since Emperor Taizong taiji's original wife, Princess Yuan, was made transparent, the girls of the Niu Cobalt Lu family who married the emperor could not get rid of the fate of the step-room, and there was no original empress (Xuanzong's original match for Empress Xiaomucheng), and several empresses were the orders of the step-house, such as Empress Renzong Andrui, Empress Wenzong Xiaozhenxian, and the protagonist of this article, Empress Shengzu Xiaozhaoren.
Empress Xiaozhaoren, who was from the Fengchao family, was the successor of the Kangxi Emperor Xuan Ye, and she was the daughter of Shu Bilong, who was ranked as the fourth assistant minister.
Shu Bilong, who is familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty, knows him, one of the four auxiliary ministers, his father is the founding hero Er Yidu, and his mother is the fourth princess Mukush, so he is the grandson of the Qing Taizu Balhaqi, the nephew of emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, the cousin of the Qing Dynasty Zu Fulin, and the cousin of the Kangxi Emperor.
Not only was he the grandson of the royal family, but he was also the son-in-law of the royal family, and his original wife was the daughter of his uncle Prince Azig. After the death of the original wife, the step-sister was the granddaughter of Prince Li's uncle Daishan and the daughter of his cousin Prince Ying, Saharan, who was married to his cousin.
Xiao Zhao's birth mother, Shu Shu Jue Luo Shi, was the side chamber of Shu Bi Long, and gave birth to Xiao Zhao and Faka brothers and sisters. Faka's step-in-law was the sister of Empress Xiaocheng of Kangxi, and it can also be said that the Kangxi Emperor and Faka were both uncles and boat pickers (consorts), or they were related cousins, and Xiaozhao and Kangxi were naturally cousins.
Compared with the famous assistant minister's father, Xiao Zhao is relatively a bit of a passerby, there are not many historical materials about her, and the historical materials before her establishment are even rarer, so that they leave some mysteries for posterity.
For example, in the fourth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1665), after the Kangxi Emperor first established the throne, the daughter of Shubilong who competed with the Hesheli clan was not filial piety, and the history books do not contain it. For example, when did Xiao Zhao enter the palace? The history books are still unbroken. For example, when did Xiao Zhao become a concubine? The history books are still unborn.
In short, Xiao Zhao first appeared in the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1677), when his identity was a concubine.
Before the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, there was no clear hierarchy in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, and the period of Mandate of Heaven and Tiancong was the division of The Great Fu Jin and the Little Fu Jin; by the Chongde period, the five palaces of the Empress, Concubine, Concubine, Concubine, And Concubine Zhuang belonged to the Four Concubines, and the Concubines and Concubines belonged to the Great Fujin, and the Concubines and Concubines belonged to the Fujin, and the concubines below them were all Concubines (Xiao Fujin).
During the Shunzhi period, the concubine who began to have a clear title was the Xianfei Dong Eshi, who was immediately promoted to imperial concubine. After Shunzhi Yuan was deposed as a Concubine Jing, the Borjigit clan who was raised in the palace for many years was posthumously honored as a mourning concubine after his early death, and even the Kangxi Emperor's birth mother Tong Shi was probably a concubine (Xiao Fujin).
After Kangxi succeeded to the throne, he posthumously honored Dong Eshi, who was buried for his father, as a concubine, and in the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), he posthumously honored the Borjigit clan who died prematurely in the palace as a concubine. In the twelfth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1673), the four Fu Jin and Xiao Fu Jin who were honored as Concubines Gongjing, Shuhui, Duanshun, and Ning.
Although there is a concubine number, it does not form a customization. Xiao Zhao's first appearance as a concubine, and the only concubine in the Kangxi harem at that time, do not know that she was a concubine after entering the palace with Xiao Cheng? Or was he a concubine after the collapse of Filial Piety in the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1674)? It is unknown without the support of historical data.
On the third day of the first month of May in the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1674), Kangxi's Yuan Hou Hesheli died in childbirth. On the sixth day of the first month of June of the following year, the Kangxi Emperor issued an edict to make his child Yinrong, the crown prince.
By the sixteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1677), The Herschel had been dead for three years, and the imperial court began to be busy for the emperor's succession. On May 11, the Kangxi Emperor sent a message to the Ministry of Rites, announcing that the successor would be the daughter of the First Rank Gong Shu Bilong, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious period to hold a grand ceremony.
Ministry of Ceremonies: Congratulations to the Holy Grandmother Empress Dowager. The daughter of Princess Zhili was made empress. Erbu chooses the auspicious period. Open instrument note to play. Special Message. May 11, 16th year of the Kangxi Dynasty (Imperial Anthology of Emperor Shengzuren)
On July 22, there was a letter from Yushi saying that he was about to be crowned empress, "Please stop this year's autumn decision, and spread the holy mercy", that is, let everyone be happy and not kill people.
The 21-year-old concubines of the Kangxi Emperor at that time, in addition to the concubines of the Concubine Niu Cobalt Lu clan, also had his cousins Tong Jia (封贵妃), Li Shi (封安嫔), Wang Jia (封敬嫔), Dong (封端嫔), Ma Jia (封荣嫔), Nala (封惠嫔), Guo Luoluo (封宜嫔), and Hesheli (封僖嫔), and this concubine was crowned by Xiao Zhao at the same time.
In addition to them, there were also concubine Zhang Shi, who gave birth to the eldest daughter of the Emperor and the fourth daughter of the Emperor, zhaojia clan of the fifth daughter of the emperor, nala clan of Brother Wan, and Wu Ya clan of Brother Yin' birth mother.
Among so many concubines, how did Xiao Zhao stand out?
In addition to her own intelligence and ability, it is probably her prominent family lineage that adds points to her. Because Xiao Zhao was from the Niu Cobalt Lu clan, a noble among the Manchurian nobility, it can be said that she was the highest of all the concubines in the harem before the fifty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, second only to the later Xuanfei Borjigit clan.
Don't say Xiaoyi family, Xiaoyi family was not promoted by the Kangxi Emperor, and it was not enough to look at in front of the Niu Cobalt Lu family at that time. Although Xiao Zhao's father, Shu Bilong, had been dead for three years, his family heritage was deeper than that of the tong jia clan, which had just started.
Therefore, Xiao Zhao became the first empress of the Niu Cobalt Lu family, although her aunt was the yuan concubine of the Emperor Taiji, but she was not posthumously crowned empress, and her son died prematurely and did not succeed to the throne, who can remember who she is.
On August 21 of the sixteenth year of kangxi (1677), the kangxi emperor sent people to pay homage to heaven and earth and the taimiao temple, and the Kangxi emperor also personally went to the worship of the Fengxian Temple, which was also the first sacrifice after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.
On August 22, the Kangxi Emperor appointed the scholar Suo Ertu as the envoy, and the university scholar Li Xia as the deputy envoy, and the concubine Niu Cobalt Lu as the treasure and made empress.

At the same time, the Kangxi Emperor's first great seal of the harem, his cousin Tong Jiashi conferred the title of concubine; Li was an concubine, Wang Jia was a concubine, Dong was a concubine, Ma Jia was a rong concubine, Nala was a Hui concubine, Guo Luo luo was a concubine, and Hesheli was a concubine.
On August 24, the Kangxi Emperor issued an edict on the appointment of empress.

Xiao Zhao was made empress, and the Kangxi Emperor also made up for her to pay tribute and levy gifts, just like the big wedding ceremony.
Xiao Zhao was made empress from August 22 of the sixteenth year of Kangxi to the 26th of February of the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678) when she collapsed in Kunning Palace, and became an empress for six months, and was the last empress to live in Kunning Palace and die there.
As for the cause of her death, Kangxi records are not recorded. The French missionary Zhang Cheng's "Diary of Zhang Cheng" mentions that Xiao Zhao, like Xiao Cheng, died in childbirth, and in addition, no other historical material has mentioned it.
There is also a saying that is widely circulated on the Internet, that is, from the blogger Orange Xuanya, saying that from the archives he saw, Xiao Zhao did not die in a hurry, but dragged on for several months before he died, at the beginning of the seventeenth year of Kangxi, that is, a month before Xiao Zhao's death, there were small officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who collectively wrote to the Kangxi Emperor, saying that they would pay for the Taoist priests to pray for the uneasy empress, and Kangxi said that the prayer was OK, and the money was paid by him.
Judging from this file, it can be known that the courtiers outside the palace have heard that the empress has become ill and that medicine has not worked, so they can only turn to religious prayers, which is the meaning of resignation.
Combined with Zhang Cheng's diary records, perhaps Xiao Zhao was because of the sequelae of small childbirth, has been ineffective in treatment, and died after a few months of delay, so Zhang Cheng said that she died in childbirth.
If these claims are true, then Xiao Zhao is really very unfortunate, perhaps she was already pregnant when she was pregnant, or maybe she became pregnant after Li Hou, and unfortunately miscarried, and due to improper care, the infection caused by the final death.
On the day after Xiao Zhao's death, Empress Dowager Zhaosheng (Empress Xiaozhuang Benbutei) drove outside the Qianqing Gate to prepare to personally cry for her granddaughter-in-law, and if she could make her grandmother cry for her granddaughter-in-law, the Kangxi Emperor rushed to advise her before persuading the old lady to leave. Below the kings, civil and military officials and princesses below, and above the Eight Banners and Two Pins of Life, they all entered the Kunning Palace to mourn and hold their clothes for twenty-seven days.
On February 27, the Kangxi Emperor collapsed as empress dowager and resigned from the dynasty for five days. On February 28, the Kangxi Emperor personally escorted Xiao Zhao's Zi Palace from Kunning Palace to Wuying Hall.
On the twenty-ninth day, Empress Renxian personally went to the Xiaozhaozi Palace to mourn, and from this day until March 29, the Kangxi Emperor basically went to the Xiaozhaozi Palace every day to mourn.
On the first day of March, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a title: Xiao Zhao. On the 25th, the Kangxi Emperor personally escorted Xiao Zhao's Zi Palace to Gonghua City, and rested in the palace with Empress Xiaocheng.

On March 21, the Kangxi Emperor served Yutaihemen and sent Boguoduo, the Prince of Heshuozhuang, and Eza, the Prince of Duoluoxin, to Gonghuacheng to serve As filial piety.
The book reads: Shu Wei Zheng Liang Yi Position, Zi Shi Yun Shu Fu Shi Sheng. The origin of the end of all things, the rule of the outside must precede the rule of the inside.

(Kangxi Shilu)
After that, the first anniversary of Xiao zhao's first anniversary, the second anniversary festival, and the third anniversary festival, the Kangxi Emperor did not pay attention to political affairs, personally came to Gonghua City to pay tribute to Xiao Zhao, and he could also be said to have a deep affection for his stepwife. On February 19, 1681, the Zi Palace of Xiao Zhao was moved to Zunhua together with the Zi Palace of Xiao Cheng, and was buried in the Jingling Underground Palace in early March.
In June of the first year of Yongzheng (1723), the Xiaozhao Divine Tablet was elevated to the Shengzu Temple, with the nickname "Ren". On the fourth day of the first month of September, add "Xiao Zhao Jing Shu Ming Hui Zheng and Empress Qin Tianshun Shengren". On March 11 of the first year of Qianlong (1736), the word "Anyu" was added, and the word "Duanmu" was added on May 11 of the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), and the full name was "Xiaozhao Jingshu Minghuizheng and Anyuduan Muqin Tianshun Shengren Empress", referred to as "Empress Xiaozhaoren".
Judging from Xiao Zhao's short life experience, the empress's double quotient is online, even if she entered the palace after the collapse of Empress Xiaocheng, her back road is not smooth, after all, with her father's previous crime of attaching herself to Aobai, she needs to pay more efforts than others to brush the good feelings of the big bosses, wash away the negative points, and there is a possibility of upgrading.
If she had entered the palace after the failed competition with Herschel, her path would have been even more difficult, a loser in the competition for the throne, and a father who had lost the emperor's favor, and the pressure on Xiao Zhao could be imagined.
However, with her own tenacity and wisdom, she was stunned to walk out of the smooth road for herself in the harem, won the pity of the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and also won the favor of the Kangxi Emperor, and was made empress after the death of her first-class father-in-law, Qiu Bilong, who had lost her power, and for her personally, she also walked to the peak of her life.
Takaaki's ability to stand out from many competitors and be named as her successor is also the result of the complementarity of her own abilities and family status. In feudal society, political marriages were accompanied by political benefits, and becoming an empress would naturally bring many benefits to the mother's family. However, after Xiao Zhao became empress, he did not bring greater benefits to the family except for his father Shu Bilong's application to establish a family temple.
Empress Xiaozhao was honored by Youxuan, and Lun was affectionate. Remember the diligence of parents and the spring and autumn of the temple. Shu Jia Qiyi, dispatched officials to supervise. Later in February, the Queen collapsed. In December of the seventeenth year, the work was completed, because of the Cabinet of Edicts, detailed examination of the Ming Dynasty Records, Yun Fu Canons, Special Inscriptions, and Le Zhu Zhen Stone. Past Generations of Yue Ji, Linyu Wanbang, Bi Dun Nine Tribes, Gong Lu Hua Qia, Nei Fu Wei Xian, Yu Zhi Long, Yi Chong Kuang Dian, Yi Du Pepper Pro, Dao Zhi Beiye. Empress Xiaozhao, benevolent filial piety, Wen Gongde, long-lived thoughts of Qi, the feeling of every deep frost dew.

It is when Xi yi dan chalk, enjoy ping ping, order dong guan, Dong Qi and zuo. The matter was carried out in February, and the mourning was suddenly moved in the sixth house, and the attempted ambition was mourned. Nian Erxun Qi's chancellor, and the nuclear dynasty canon, on the day of completion, with the gift of monuments, show the country to leave no old grace, show the empress forever cherish the idea of restoration. The light flowing spring soil can be regarded as the feather of the relatives; it is listed in Danqing, worthy of the promise of lun. Sons of Versailles, Ke Bao is invincible.
After the death of his father Eyidu, Turge continued to marry his stepmother Princess Mukush, who was both an older brother and stepfather to Shubilon. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, he inherited the third class duke of Turg, and the two titles were merged into a first-class duke.
When the First Rank Duke Qiu Bilong was an auxiliary chancellor, the Kangxi Emperor, in order to paralyze Ao bai and add to the auxiliary ministers, granted them the title of Duke of En, so in addition to inheriting his father's brother's GongFeng First Class Duke, he also received the First Rank Duke of Enfeng, and the Gongfeng First Class Duke was inherited by his third son and xiao Zhao's half-brother Faka.
After the Kangxi Emperor took power, he liquidated Aobai and Shu bilong, who was stripped of his master and later crowned the first class duke of Enfeng, and the hereditary gong of gongfeng that was inherited by his son. That is to say, at this time, the Shubilong family was only left with the first class duke of Gongfeng.
After Filial Piety, according to the custom, if you push a favor to a foreign relative, you should give her family another cheng'en gong. Like the Xiaocheng family, the grandfather Sony Gongfeng first-class uncle, when assisting the government, he also gave a first-class Duke of Enfeng, after Xiaocheng's death, the Kangxi Emperor also gave her father Kabula a hereditary first-class Cheng'en Gong, and later XiaoYi, who also earned a hereditary first-class Cheng'en Duke for her father after his death. Only Xiao Zhao, the Kangxi Emperor did not posthumously give Xiao Zhao's father Qiu Bilong the title of Duke of Cheng'en, even after Xiao Zhao's death.
If the Kangxi Emperor visited the Xiaozhaozi Palace many times to mourn, it was considered that the love between husband and wife was deep and righteous, why did he not love The House and Wu with the Nie Cobalt Lu clan miserly a Cheng'en Gong? Was his heart still jealous of Bi long's departure from the imperial power in the first place? Or are you unwilling to add bricks and tiles to the huge Niu Cobalt Lu family power?
The Kangxi Emperor was a more traditional person in his bones, in his heart, the grandmother ranked first, the mother-in-law second, followed by the sons, the wives and concubines all had to retreat to the place, the original sick did not return, because to serve the grandmother, this is filial piety is greater than everything; go out to inspect the Great Wall, I heard that shuzi dysentery, all flying horses rushed back, that is the heir is greater than everything.
Treating his wives and concubines, he is even more in the rules of a bowl of water duanping, he will give his wives and concubines small gifts, go out to write to them, come back to bring gifts, is a very qualified national husband, treat the funerals of the three wives, are perfect, can come in person, unlike his son, the wife's funeral does not want to attend and find various reasons to defend themselves, so the filial pieties can meet a husband like the Kangxi Emperor, or more than the top and the bottom.
The Kangxi Emperor was a man of rules and could give his wife enough respect, but his wife's mother's family? Forget it! Compared with the mother's family of the three empresses, the Xiaocheng family was repaired by her husband more miserably, or the Xiaozhao family's Niu Cobalt Lu clan was deeply rooted and went further.
That's it.
