Chapter 45 Three, Daoguang favorite concubine

Niu Hulu, the favorite concubine of Emperor Daoguang, also lived in Chengqian Palace.What happened to this concubine?The story begins with her husband, Emperor Daoguang. Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, everyone is no stranger to him, that is, Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty who was nailed to the pillar of historical shame after signing the "Nanjing Treaty" after the failure of the Sino-British Opium War.Emperor Daoguang had four queens.The first one is Empress Xiaomucheng, Niu Hulu family.When he was a prince, his father, Emperor Jiaqing, was in charge and married the daughter of Buyan Dalai, Minister of the Household Department.But this son Fujin died of illness before his husband succeeded to the throne.The second place is Empress Xiaoshencheng, Tong Jiashi.After Min Ning's Di Fujin died, she succeeded him as Di Fujin.After Min Ning succeeded to the throne, she was promoted to queen.But the blessings are not enough, and it is too early to die after giving birth to a daughter, and he himself died first.The third queen was Niu Hulu, the favorite concubine of Emperor Daoguang.

"Qing History Draft Biography of Concubine Concubine" records: Empress Xiaoquancheng, Niu Hulu family, second-class bodyguard, daughter of first-class male Yiling.When she first entered the palace, she was a concubine.In June of the eleventh year of Daoguang (1831), she gave birth to Yi Chi, who was later Emperor Xianfeng and Cixi's husband.Two years later, because she gave birth to a son, she was loved by Emperor Daoguang again, and she was promoted to the imperial concubine.At this time, there was no queen in the harem, and she "photographed the affairs of the six palaces", that is, she was in charge of the affairs of the east and west six palaces.After another year, he was made queen.She was a queen for six years, and died of illness in the 20th year of Daoguang (1840), the year when the Sino-British Opium War broke out. She was only 33 years old.At this time, her son, Yi Chi, was only ten years old (false), who would raise him?He was raised by Borzigit, the fourth queen of Emperor Daoguang, namely Empress Xiaojingcheng.Her biological son is Yixin, so Yichi and Yixin have lived together for 10 years.

Here I will talk about the two common surnames in Manchuria in the Qing Dynasty: one is the Niuhulu family and the other is the Guarjia family.Niu Hulu's family was most famous in the early Qing Dynasty as Eyidu, the head of the five founding ministers.I will tell two short stories about Eryidu.One is that Eyidu followed Nurhachi to attack the city of Barda. During the battle, "the city was thinned at night, and the soldiers in the city went up first. Zhan Yili was wounded by more than 50 people, and he did not retreat, but he pulled out his city and returned” (Volume 4 of "Qing History Biography E Yidu").Er Yidu's second son, Daqi, is very proud of his son-in-law (son-in-law).One day, Er also called his sons to drink, and after drinking for three rounds, he ordered Da Qi to be held.The forehead also drew a knife and said: How can there be a father who kills his son in the world?But this son is arrogant, if he is not cured now, he will humiliate the country and defeat the family in the future, and those who do not follow will be blooded!After finishing speaking, lead Daqi into the room and kill him with his face covered.The forehead also killed Nurhachi's uncle, and the princess became a widow. Feeling that the matter was serious, she went to Nurhachi to apologize.Nurhachi was very surprised. After a while, he said calmly that he was also thinking deeply about the country, which others could not do. (Volume 225 of "Drafts of Qing History·E Yidu Biography").This Niuhulu family has been influencing until the end of Qing Dynasty.Another Fei Yingdong, the Guerjia family, was one of the five founding ministers of the Qing Dynasty.Rong Lu is a descendant of Fei Yingdong.Ronglu's daughter is Cixi's goddaughter, and her and Zaifeng's son is Puyi.

"Qing Palace Shuwen" records: In the east room of the main hall of Chengqian Palace, there are Queen Quancheng's imperial appearance, shrines, Buddha statues, furnaces, pans, pagodas, and chimes. ("Inspection Report of the House Cleaning and Rehabilitation Committee") Two poems in "Qing Palace Ci·Yong Xiaoquan". One of them said: "Hui Zhilan has no heart in the world, and Chui Piao once remembered Gusu. It is composed of six contract spring characters, which is better than Xuanji brocade." When she was young, she went to Suzhou with her father. She was very bright and intelligent. Make it into a dice shape and arrange it into the four characters "Liutongchun" as a New Year's toy in the palace.Later, it spread to the people outside the palace. "Liuhe" refers to heaven and earth, southeast, northwest, and generally refers to the world. "Deer" and "Lu", "Crane" and "He" are homophonic, so they are also called "Liutong Spring" and "Deer and Crane Tongchun".

The second cloud: "Ruyi is more because of little pity, and the poisonous ant cup is a sign of a feast. Wen Chenggui spoils Panshui, and Tianyu pro praises filial piety." For several years, there was a sudden collapse, and there were many secrets.At that time, Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager were still alive, and the family law was strict, so Emperor Daoguang did not dare to disobey his orders.Since Emperor Daoguang felt sorry for Xiaoquan's death, he did not establish the sons of other concubines, but Yipin, the son of Xiaoquan. Here's an explanation: Emperor Daoguang's noble concubine Lin, Concubine Yun and nobleman Wan during the Xianfeng period all lived in Chengqian Palace. ("Records of the House of Internal Affairs") Concubine Lin is the biological mother of Prince Chun Yixuan.The son of Yizhen and Cixi's younger sister Yehenala was Zaiyun, who later became Emperor Guangxu.Zaifeng, the son of Yizhen, and Puyi, the son of the Guerjia family, became Emperor Xuantong later.Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Guangxu, Emperor Xuantong and Yixin are all related to Chengqian Palace, which shows that Chengqian Palace is particularly important to modern Chinese history.

What is the fate of the three beautiful, intelligent and favored concubines in Chengqian Palace?Chongzhen Emperor Tian Guifei had four sons, three of them died early, and one died tragically when she was only in her 30s; Shunzhi Emperor Dong E concubine was favored for four years, her only son died early, and died at about 22 years old; Niu Hulu, the favorite concubine of Emperor Daoguang, left her 10-year-old son at the age of 33 and became a ghost! Let’s go back to the opening story: “A king with the right way will take care of others; a king with no way will take pleasure in his body.” Although this sentence comes from the mouth of the woman Xu Hui, it reveals a philosophy: Yimin is still a king. Le Min is still Le Jun, which is the dividing line between Ming Jun, Ying Jun, Yong Jun and Faint Jun.She also said: "Those who have a great career are easy to be proud, but those who start well are hard to end." The cultural value of these words is: famous sayings through the ages, which will last forever.
