Yongzheng, the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty, won the throne by abnormal means. As for what this abnormality means, the official history is secretive and there is no direct record. Only unofficial history said that he contacted his royal family, Colondo, and changed Kangxi's testamentary edict from "transmitting fourteen sons" to "transmitting four sons", thus seizing the throne from other brothers. Its authenticity cannot be verified.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to come up with a new way to set up a reserve team. One day, he called the five prime ministers and Manchu officials to the Qing palace to discuss important matters. He sat on the dragon chair and said to the ministers, "When my father was alive, he made his second brother a prince, but later he abolished it and established it again, and he abolished it again." In his later years, his father was often unhappy about it. I think the establishment of protected areas is a national plan. If it is not set, it is not good to set it clearly. What's your clever plan? "The ministers looked at each other, and after a long time, they sang in unison:" I am stupid, let's decide according to the will of the saints! " Yong Zhengdi added, "I think the establishment of the Crown Prince is different from ordinary politics. General politics must be discussed by ministers, and the establishment of a prince should be arbitrary. For example, I have several princes at present. If all the ministers agree, all the voices will be inconsistent, which makes it difficult for me to decide. What's more, it is inevitable that brothers will compete for the crown prince, which will lead to great disaster. So, I repeatedly planned and came up with a flexible method. I personally worked out who the Crown Prince was, wrote it on the imperial edict, sealed it and put it in a box. " Speaking of which, Yong Zhengdi raised his head and pointed at it and said, "The box is behind this' aboveboard' plaque. Do you think this is a good idea? Hearing this, the ministers replied with one voice: "The emperor is really thoughtful. Does the minister have any objection? "At present, Yong Zhengdi ordered all ministers to leave the temple, leaving only the ministers to deal with the affairs of the prime minister. He personally wrote the name of the Crown Prince, sealed it in a box, ordered the guards to climb the wooden ladder and put the brocade box behind the plaque. From then on, according to the practice of Yongzheng, the imperial capital of the Qing Dynasty hid the name of the crown prince behind the plaque, so that the succession of the Qing emperor avoided the civil strife in the court.
In doing so, Yongzheng proved from the side that his means of seizing the throne was problematic, so he didn't want future generations to follow suit. The death of Yongzheng is also a strange thing, and historical records are very mysterious. One day in the 13th year of Yongzheng, during the day, the emperor was still in ouchi consulting with Zhuang Yunlu, Prince Liang Yunli, E Ertai, Zhang and others. At night, he died suddenly, somehow inside and outside the palace. There are no reliable records in historical materials. Only one thing seems strange. Since the Yongzheng dynasty, every time the emperor summoned concubines, these women had to take off all their underpants and official clothes, and the palace supervisor carried them out or into the emperor's bedroom, then took off their official clothes and waited on the emperor naked. According to the legend of the Qing court, this is not for the pleasure of lust, but to guard against the assassination of concubines. Later generations suspect that the establishment of this rule may be related to Yongzheng's sudden death. Yongzheng had only one official queen, whose surname was Ulanala, and she was the daughter of Fayanggu, the Minister of the Interior.
The queen entered the palace to serve when she was a teenager. At that time, Emperor Kangxi liked her very much and decided to betroth her to the fourth son of the emperor as the first wife of Prince Yong. In the first year of Yongzheng, he was middle-aged when he was registered as a queen. Yong Zhengdi loved her very much, but she died in September of the ninth year of Yongzheng. On the day of his death, Yong Zhengdi was very sad. He was very ill and wanted to see the Queen off in person. Ministers tried to dissuade him. So the imperial edict said, "The queen served the emperor's father at a self-respecting age and went along with me. For more than 40 years, she has been filial to her parents. For a long time, I recovered easily from my illness. If I go to the funeral in person, I'm afraid I'll feel too sad and lead to a relapse. I didn't do the courtesy between husband and wife, and I was very uncomfortable, but the ministers advised me that the Ming Dynasty didn't stipulate that the queen's funeral emperor had to sacrifice in person. Therefore, today, I have a drink offering for the princes. " There is great sadness between the lines.
Empress posthumous title Ulanala was buried with Yong Zhengdi in Tailing by Filial Piety. Li Hong (Emperor Qianlong), the fourth son to inherit the throne, was born to Niu Zhilu, the imperial concubine of Yong Zhengdi. Xi Guifei was honored as the empress dowager in Qianlong dynasty and died in Qianlong forty-two years. After her death, she was posthumously made queen.
Nian Shi, the imperial concubine of the emperor, failed to become a queen. Let me analyze: Yong Zhengdi's first wife gave birth to the emperor's eldest son as early as the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, which shows that she married Yong Zhengdi early, and Yong Zhengdi was appointed as the side Fujin in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi in Nian Shi. At that time, there were only two side Fujin who supervised the prince, and Nian Shi accounted for one of them; Another reason is that Nianshi died prematurely. At that time, Queen Yong Zhengdi was alive, and Yong Zhengdi was not as good as the emperor shunzhi ... It was considered an age. There is another reason: although Yong Zhengdi dealt with her younger brother Nian Gengyao within one month after her death, according to the laws at that time, the nine families were not affected to some extent, but Nian Gengyao was not affected and was buried as an imperial concubine. In addition, Nian Gengyao's crime is not a day or two, but Nian Gengyao can continue to be promoted. Shi Dunsu's imperial concubine Han Jun, decorated with yellow flag, was the daughter of the governor of Hubei Province, the first-class male, the former first-class male, the general of recovery, and the daughter of Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi (1708), she was at the imperial palace. On March 12th, Kangxi gave birth to four unknown daughters. Unsealed (1715.4.15-1717.5), born on May 25th, 1959, the seventh son of Emperor Fuyi (1720.6.30). At the beginning of October, the eighth son of the emperor was pregnant with Prince Fu Hui (1721.1.27-1728.8), and on February 14th, the first year of Yongzheng (1March 20th, 723). 1 1 month 15 (1725 19 February 19) Jin Guifei passed away in Yuanmingyuan on March 23rd (27th).1/kloc- On February 22nd, the second year of Qianlong (1March 22nd, 737), Empress Dowager Xiao moved the capital to Tailing. On the second day of March (1 April), the right side (west side) of Tailing Underground Palace was buried late to show respect for the elderly. It was the shortest imperial concubine in the Qing Dynasty, less than a month. Dun: Angry, Sue: Holding things to show respect.
