A few years ago, in the summer vacation, the popular costume drama "The Biography of Zhen Huan" had a high rating, almost occupying half of the domestic TV screens at that time. In this drama, the main story is that the young girl Zhen Huan changed from a young and ignorant and ignorant simple girl who did not understand the world, and after a conspiracy with the concubines in the palace, she finally became a deep palace woman who was skilled in scheming.
However, in this drama, in addition to the main line Zhen Huan, there is another love story that has also attracted the attention of many people. And the protagonist of this relationship was Empress Xiaogongren, who was already the empress dowager at that time, that is, we often call "Princess De".
Although Princess De was the biological mother of the Yongzheng Emperor, she was not her dependent. When the Yongzheng Emperor was still infant, Princess De was not favored, so she gave Yongzheng to empress Dowager Tong Jia to raise. And LongKeduo, as tong Jia's brother, was even more acquainted with the Yongzheng Emperor, so that later, when the Yongzheng Emperor saw Longkeduo, he had to shout "uncle".
Logically, as the emperor's uncle, Roncodo himself was a person who attached great importance to personal and family reputation and honor, so how could he get involved with the emperor's birth mother?
As a result, in the play "The Biography of Zhen Huan", the Yongzheng Emperor has always regarded this evil relationship as a thorn in his heart.
By episode forty-nine, the Yongzheng Emperor finally couldn't help but confide in his birth mother, Princess De, about how he saw their relationship as a disgrace to himself and his determination to kill Ronkodo. Although Princess De could not bear it in her heart, out of love for her son and fear of the emperor's majesty, or out of shame for this relationship, she finally agreed. However, she asked to do it herself.
Later, when the empress dowager visited Roncodo, whom she had not seen for many years, when the two said goodbye, it was completely different from the past, and I couldn't help but sigh a little. The Empress dowager slowly confided to Roncodo the words that had been hidden in her heart for many years, both affection for him and hatred for him.
The matter begins in the twelfth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, when Princess De was in the middle of the young girl Fanghua and fell in love with Roncodo. When it came to the day of entering the palace draft, the two made an appointment with each other, so that Princess De was not selected, and they would stay with each other for a lifetime. In order to achieve this goal, Princess De asked Long Keduo to help her find out how to disgust Kangxi. Roncodo tells Princess De's kangxi that she hates powder blue, causing Princess De to wear powder blue clothes and enter the palace without thinking.
Who knows, Roncodo actually deceived Princess De. After that, Princess De was favored by Kangxi and entered the palace as a concubine. Although Princess De and Roncodo love each other, their temperaments are completely different. Longkeduo's ancestors have contributed to the imperial court, they have always been important ministers of the imperial court, and they themselves attach importance to power, so they tricked Princess De into entering the palace, the purpose of which was to let the other party inquire about the news for himself in the palace.
Princess De, who loves Roncodo with all her heart, only wants to stay with Roncodo, although she is deceived by Roncodo, she is also willing to do things for Roncodo. However, in this deep palace compound full of deceit, the pure maiden either destroys the jade or completely changes herself. And Princess De, obviously the latter. Decades of harem life have not only changed her identity, but also changed her state of mind.
So much so that when I saw Roncodo again this time, the feeling of her heart beating faster was gone. For the sake of her son, and in revenge for this former lover, she tricked Roncodo into drinking a glass of poisoned wine and cruelly poisoned him.
However, after all, the TV series is not the main history, and in addition, it is also adapted from the novel, so in order to increase the interest of the plot, it is inevitable that there will be changes. So, what is the relationship between the two in history?
This begins with the origin of Longkeduo, who was born during the Kangxi Dynasty, and his father Tong Guowei was the uncle of the Kangxi Emperor and his father-in-law. Some people here may wonder why Tong Guowei, as the father of Long Keduo, has two people with the surname "Tong" and the other surnamed "Long", is this really the "old Long next door" obstructing?
In fact, the surname "Tong" was originally supposed to be "Tong Jia". Later, the Qing government required the Manchus to learn Han Chinese culture, so they changed "Tong Jia" to "Tong Jia". And Longkeduo itself is also the surname "Tong", but it is different in transliteration, in fact, Longkeduo should have been called Tong Keduo, and later, everyone was used to it and there was no unification.
Back to the main topic, we have already said that Long Keduo, because his sister Empress Xiaoyiren was Yongzheng's adoptive mother, had always been friendly with the Yongzheng Emperor, and during the period of Kangxi's serious illness in his later years, the princes fought for power and profit for the throne. As supporters of the Yongzheng Emperor, LongKeduo and Nian Qianyao have always played an extremely important role in this struggle, so that after the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, Longkeduo has always been prosperous and dazzling.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and after the Yongzheng Emperor ascended to the throne, he began to suspect Longkeduo, just like many heroes in history, they did not have a good end, and Longkeduo was not spared. After the Yongzheng Emperor stabilized his power, he began a series of acts of suppression against Longkeduo. At that time, when his son Yuzhu was dismissed from office, and his colleague Nian Tangyao was convicted, Long keduo lived every day with fear and fear, like walking on thin ice.
However, Roncodo seems to have lived too smoothly in the first half of his life, even God can't see it, and his old age can be described as very eventful.
In the fourth year of Yongzheng, many servants of Longke demanded bribes and were arrested, and in the end, the Yongzheng Emperor not only beheaded the domestic servants, but also removed Longkeduo from the post of Shangshu. The following year, Roncodo was negotiating with Tsarist Russia on the border issue, but when the negotiations were about to succeed, he was arrested on charges of stealing jade and forming a party for personal gain. After returning to Beijing, Roncodo was convicted of raiding his home and his son was exiled to the frontier.
And he, although he left his life, was imprisoned in Changchun Garden, and it was better to live than to die. Eventually, in the sixth year of Yongzheng, he died in prison.
Throughout Roncodo's life, the early years can be described as a spring breeze, and everything is smooth. In his old age, it is really regrettable that he has ended up like this. As for The Concubine, almost all of her characters have fought with other concubines in the deep palace, whether before entering the palace or after entering the palace, they almost did not have the opportunity to meet Roncodo.
It can be seen that the love affair between the two of them is pure nonsense.
It is rumored that Yue Xing'a, Roncodo's sister-in-law, who died of mutilation because of the mutilation of his mother, hated his father and his favorite concubine, and waited until Roncodo's crimes were exposed, so he fell into the well, "But please check the family wealth and enter the official, so you torture your father's concubines to avenge his personal hatred." When people don't know it, there are even people who talk about Yue Xing'a filial piety, "cruel and rebellious." The rumors are basically true, but it was not Yue Xing'a who tortured Long keduo's concubine, but Long Keduo's cousin Kwadai.
Speaking of Roncodo's concubine, it is not simple, she herself was not young at that time, and Roncodo had been with her for at least thirty years, and the two had a very strong relationship, and Roncodo's obsession with her was by no means as ordinary people imagined to be explained by "beauty and confusion". The relationship between Roncodo and his wife is extremely poor, as the rumors say, Roncodo's multiple pairs did "die", but its tragic situation is difficult to be outsiders.
The description of Kwadai is only six words - "Zhiyuan is worthy of people", which is enough to be shocking. It can be seen that Roncodo is also a cruel person.
