However, not all feudal emperors were unfaithful, such as the love between Huang Taiji and Hailanzhu, and the love between Emperor Shunzhi and Dong E Fei. Father and son died for love. This proves that not all feudal emperors are ungrateful.
Friends who are familiar with the draft of the Qing Dynasty or have read The Secret History of Xiaozhuang must have a good understanding of Huang Taiji, the founding monarch of the Qing Dynasty. Huang taiji lived a glorious life, but in the end he died of depression, which was his favorite sea. Readers who are familiar with the draft of Qing Dynasty must know the talent of Empress Xiao Zhuang like the back of their hands. Why did Huang Taiji spoil the sea and ignore the talented Xiao Zhuang? Naturally, this is the reason. I'll explain it to you one by one.
Let's first understand the professional resumes of the next three protagonists.
Huang taiji, emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, the eighth son of Nurhachi, an outstanding strategist and politician in the early Qing Dynasty and the late Jin Dynasty, the Great Khan of Mongolia, and the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Hailanzhu, full name: Borzigit Hayranju was born in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli. She is the daughter of Zhasang, a beautiful woman in Horqin, Mongolia, and the niece of Filial Piety Queen Wen. She married Huang taiji for eight years. In the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, conferring five Fujin titles, and Hailanzhu was named the official Luo Gong Chen Fei. In the sixth year of advocating Germany, Hailanzhu died of illness, and posthumous title became a "public servant".
Xiaozhuang, formerly known as Borzijit Bumutai, is the second daughter of Belle Borzijit Buhe in Horqin Department of Mongolia, the niece of Xiao Duanwen, and the sister of Hailanzhu. He died in the 26th year of Kangxi, and finally posthumous title was appointed as Xuancheng, Gongyi, Xiao Zhuang, German, Pure Emblem and Apocalypse Queen.
It can be seen from the conferring of Princess Hailanzhu and posthumous title by Huang Taiji that Huang Taiji has a special liking for Hailanzhu.
Second, why did Huang Taiji spoil the sea and ignore the talented Xiao Zhuang? What's good about the sea? Let's explain it in detail.
1, "I would like to be a lovebird in the sky and grow together on the ground, two branches of a tree." . Hailanzhu only loves Huang Taiji as a husband, and naturally she is deeply loved by Huang Taiji.
In the feudal dynasty, feudal etiquette was hierarchical, especially imperial power. In the feudal dynasty, "imperial power was supreme and inviolable". The emperor controls all the power of the country and the life and death of others. So there was a feudal dynasty in the past. In order to compete for the throne, the children of the royal family killed each other, and bloodshed cases emerged one after another.
As the successor of the post-Jin regime, Huang Taiji fought with Nurhachi in the south and north when he was young, and made outstanding contributions to the unification of the Jurchen tribe in the post-Jin Dynasty. In A.D. 1626, Nurhachi died, and after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, Jin Khan. During the reign of Huang taiji, in order to strengthen the late Jin Dynasty and carry out drastic feudal reforms, he first strengthened the imperial power; Strategically, he was determined to conquer Korea and Monan Mongolia before attacking the Ming Dynasty. For the Ming Dynasty, it adopted the suggestion of demoting officials by the Han people and established a "policy of peace and consolidation", and attached great importance to the Han generals. Economically, the Manchu-Chinese integration should be implemented to protect the Han people, reduce the burden on farmers, develop production and strengthen the army.
Huang taiji was in power for seventeen years, which laid a solid foundation for the Qing Dynasty to finally enter the Central Plains.
Even though Huang Taiji, who has been a martial man all his life, is a tough guy on the battlefield and in the hall of political worship, Huang Taiji is also an ordinary person and needs to be cared for. In the eyes of other concubines in the harem, the first consideration is the interests of themselves and their families, as well as their future status and identity. What about family ties? This is the most lacking in feudal courts in past dynasties. As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji enjoyed supreme power and was naturally the loneliest. In the eyes of the sea, he only regards Huang Taiji as his own man and his husband loves him, so for Huang Taiji, in the eyes of the sea.
2. Hailanzhu's fate is bumpy, but Hailanzhu is famous for her gentleness and gentleness, and won the favor of Huang Taiji.
The Manchu archives of the National History Museum before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs recorded: "October 16th, the eighth year of Tiancong (1634). Wu Keshan and Huang Taiji of Horqin Department led the ministers to see off their sisters. Khan held a banquet to welcome Fujin. " This is the earliest historical record of Hailanzhu.
When Hai married Huang Taiji, she was 26 years old. You can be nothing at this age. In the Qing dynasty, women of this age had already married. There is no historical record of Hai Lanzhu's life before the age of 26 in the Draft of Qing History.
It is rumored that Hailanzhu had married someone before marrying Huang Taiji, but Hailanzhu's original husband was not good to Hailanzhu and often beat and scolded her. Later, after her husband died, Hailanzhu became a widow and returned to her family Horqin tribe, where she was often discriminated against by her people. In the eighth year of Tiancong, Hailanzhu married Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji was brilliant. At this time, he is at the peak of power. As the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he naturally had a desire for protection. Although the fate of Hailanzhu is bumpy, Hailanzhu is 26 years old at this time. Although she has passed the prime of life, she is more plump, mature and charming. Coupled with those delicate and touching eyes, Huang Taiji fell in love with Hailanzhu at first sight.
3, Hailanzhu was born in one fell swoop, and the mother's dependence on her children.
In feudal society, it is very important for a woman to have a son, which determines her final position in the family. In the imperial family, a woman gave birth to a son, which means Yue Longmen, a carp. In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, there is a tradition that a mother depends on her son.
Before Hailanzhu married Huang Taiji, Horqin Department married the philosopher and Bumu Butai to Huang Taiji in order to safeguard the interests of this tribe and the later Jin Dynasty. However, ten years before and after Zhe Zhe, the children were all daughters, and Bumu Butai also gave birth to three daughters at this time. The emperor shunzhi was not born at this time, which is very unfavorable for the children of Horqin department who don't have their own tribal lineage. So Hai Lanzhu was born in Tiancong.
In the second year of Chongde, Hailanzhu gave birth to eight sons of Huang Taiji, so-called love me, love my dog. Huang taiji was naturally ecstatic and gave a big banquet. Huang taiji immediately decided to make this son the heir to the throne. To this end, Huang taiji also issued the first Amnesty order of the Qing Dynasty.
Among them, the Amnesty decree stipulates that all imprisoned people are exempt from punishment except for ten crimes, such as committing crimes, burning ancestral temples, mausoleums and palaces, defecting to the enemy to kill, poisoning, witchcraft, stealing sacrificial offerings and imperial vessels, beating grandparents, parents, betraying brothers and wives, falsely accusing husbands, civil unrest, and correcting party bandits during the day. The imperial edict reads: "Since ancient times, when a monarch celebrated the birth of his son, he would carry out amnesty all over the country, which was a long-standing rule of ancient emperors. Today, as soon as possible, Chen Fei of Guanzhi Palace gave birth to an heir, and I held a celebration ceremony for him, hoping to bless all the land within the reach of politics and religion ... ".
In contrast, Huang Taiji has eleven sons. When other sons were born, Huang taiji did not hold large-scale celebrations and did not grant amnesty. Mother Hailanzhu was awarded the title of "Heshuo Xianfei" by virtue of her son's high price, and was given a gift of etiquette.
It can be seen that Huang taiji is exclusive to Hai Lanzhu.
When there is poverty in the corner of the world, there is only endless acacia.
Huang taiji, a hero, spoiled his wife and children, was very proud of everything. However, the good times did not last long, and the eight sons of Huang Taiji, who were loved by thousands of people, died before they lived to be one year old. This is a huge blow to Hailanzhu, who often goes to Lacrimosa. After a long time, Hailanzhu couldn't afford to get sick. Huang Taiji was more fond of and pitied Hailanzhu out of the feelings of husband and wife and the pain of bereavement.
However, the good times did not last long. In September of the sixth year of Chongde, just as Huang Taiji personally led the Eight Banners to a decisive battle with the Ming army in Jinzhou, Songshan, and hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were in full swing, news came from Shengjing that Hailanzhu was seriously ill and was in danger. The bold and beautiful Huang Taiji, after all the arrangements were made, led several Qin Bing to return to the north quickly and galloped for six days and six nights in a row. Finally, Huang taiji came late. When Huang Taiji arrived at Guanju Palace, Hailanzhu had disappeared. Huang taiji stayed up for five days and nights without eating anything.
Huang Taiji held a grand funeral for Hailanzhu, personally wrote a eulogy, and died in Zhou Nianji in the following years. Like a state funeral, it is comparable to the queen's treatment.
In order to show his love for Heilanzhu, posthumous title was "sensitive and respectful" to Heilanzhu.
Among them, "min": you are more sensitive when you are active; "Hui": abundance is not demanding; "Gonggong": those who respect sages, let good people say Gonggong; "Harmony": not only not soft, but also peace. The first wife in ancient times, Manchu refers to great wealth.
This shows Huang Taiji's love for Hailanzhu.
3. Why did Huang Taiji ignore the talented Xiao Zhuang?
The first thing that needs to be corrected is that Xiaozhuang is really talented, and that was after the death of Huang Taiji, not during the reign of Huang Taiji. Huang taiji's talent is very broad. For the ancient feudal emperors, he always paid attention to imperial power, and at the same time, there was a rule in the Qing Dynasty that harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Even if Xiaozhuang had more talents, her talents were never put to good use during the reign of Huang Taiji.
Secondly, Xiao Zhuang married Huang Taiji for a simple purpose, that is, to consolidate the marriage between Manchu and Mongolian. Therefore, Huang Taiji and Xiaozhuang are only political marriages, and there is no such thing as love. In addition, Xiaozhuang married Huang Taiji for many years, but only gave birth to three daughters and no sons.
Therefore, Huang Taiji does not reject Xiaozhuang.
Summary: Looking at Huang Taiji's exclusive affection for the sea, the reasons are as follows: the sea has no interest in treating Huang Taiji, and only regards Huang Taiji as her husband. This is the true love that the emperor who enjoys the supreme imperial power most longs for. In addition, the sea is quiet and has the pain of the prince's first child and the loss of his son. These reasons are the reasons why Huang Taiji rejected the sea.
Xiao Zhuang, who married Huang Taiji, mainly aimed at political marriage and consolidating the relationship between Manchuria and Mongolia. Who does Huang taiji love more than a sincere love in the feudal royal family? Needless to say, it's Helen Zhu, of course.
