The emperors and empresses of ancient China were high in status, and they carried great responsibilities, and there was a lot of unspeakable helplessness. The emperor's choice of empress is a major matter that requires caution and importance, and the empress is best able to help the emperor consolidate his imperial power, and also help the emperor to assist the harem and favor the world.
Therefore, often many times, the emperor marrying the empress is a political marriage, and no love is the norm. In fact, the emperor is also a man, and his heart must also desire love, and he also hopes to be in harmony with his queen and be dependent on each other.
When we look through the historical materials and look at the entire Qing Dynasty, the fate of the original empresses of the 12 Emperors of the Qing Dynasty is almost not very good, among them, the only one who can be regarded as happy is the Jiaqing Emperor's Xiaoshurui Empress Xi Tara.
Although she passed away at the age of 38, she had the respect and love of her husband in her 23 years of marriage with the Jiaqing Emperor, who wrote a number of mourning poems after the death of Empress Xiaoshurui Xitara, expressing his sincere desire to be married to Empress Xiaoshurui for the third time.
Empress Xiaoshurui, who was not of high birth, was given the marriage of the Qianlong Emperor to the Jiaqing Emperor, who was still a brother at the time
Speaking of which, the Jiaqing Emperor was the same age as his Empress Xiaoshurui of the Hitara clan, but the Hitara clan was born more than a month before the Jiaqing Emperor. In the mid-autumn of 1760, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, the deputy governor of Manchuria under the Zhengbai Banner and the Erjing'e family, added another young daughter, who was also the original wife of the later Jiaqing Emperor, Empress Xiaoshurui.
The ancestor of the He'er Jing'e was the Hitara clan, which had a prominent position in the Jurchen society, and the Hitara clan frequently produced empresses, so the Hitara clan was called the "Uncle Of the State" in the Qing Dynasty.
In the early winter of 1760 AD, the Qianlong Emperor's favored concubine Wei Jia gave birth to a cute little prince named Ai Xin Jue Luo Yuanyan. As the fifteenth brother, He Yan loved to read since he was a child, and he was quick in thinking, talented and intelligent, and wrote good articles, so he was quite loved and appreciated by the Qianlong Emperor.
Qianlong once planned to appoint the second brother Yonglian as crown prince, but Yonglian unfortunately died prematurely, and later planned to appoint the seventh brother Yonglian as crown prince, but unfortunately Yongzhen also died early. When the fifteenth brother first grew up, the Qianlong Emperor made him crown prince in 1773. After that, the Qianlong Emperor secretly paid attention to the actions and growth of the fifteenth brother, and intended to hand over the Qing Dynasty to Yong Yan to inherit.
Qianlong Loved his son and began to secretly look around for the right Fujin for Himemon early on. The Qianlong Emperor favored the daughter of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Erjing'e, the Hitara clan, so he personally gave him a marriage, and in 1774 AD, the fifteenth brother and the Xi Tara clan were officially married, that year, the young couple were both 15 years old, and after the marriage, the Hitara clan was crowned as the crown prince Fu Jin, and his status was very honorable.
But in fact, at that time, the Hitara clan had not produced a "big man" with outstanding merit and honor for a long time. The Qianlong Emperor only saw that He'er Jing'er was honest and honest, and had no conspiracy or desire to gain power, so he chose his daughter to become the concubine fujin of the crown prince. It can be said that the origin of the Hitara clan is not very noble, but her various conditions make the Qianlong Emperor very satisfied and very at ease.
The Qianlong Emperor was very fond of imperial power, and the obedient daughter-in-law, The Hitara clan, had to keep her duties at every turn
After the marriage of Theara and the Hitara clan, they got along very well, and their feelings were loving and intimate, and in the few years after their marriage, the Hitarah clan gave birth to 1 son and 2 daughters for their husbands. Fifty years after Qianlong, The Hitara clan became pregnant again, and although she was still young at the age of 26, she somehow suffered a miscarriage. After the small birth, the Hitara did not recover well and nourish the body, so the bones of the body became weak.
The Qianlong Emperor, who was the old man, looked at him coldly, fearing that his daughter-in-law, Theitara Clan, had something three long and two short, so he quickly gave an order to the internal attendants in the palace, and soon gave a side blessing to complete the Yan Clan for The Emperor. After the unintelligible Yan clan married The Yan clan was only able to slightly share some of the favor and time of the Yan Clan because she was young and beautiful, and the heart of the Yan Clan was more often towards the Yan Fu Jin Xi Tara Clan. However, the Hitara clan knew that the family lineage of The Side Fujin was higher than her own, so her heart could not help but have a little pressure on the favor.
In the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong, Heyan was officially crowned the Prince of Heshuo Jia, and the then 30-year-old Hitara clan was also promoted to the title of Prince of Jia. The joy of the Hitara clan becoming a princess was not over, and the Completed Yan Clan in her house, who was the side Fujin, died suddenly due to illness, so that the Xi Tara clan only put his love and time on the Concubine Fujin, which made the Hitara clan slightly relieved.
Don't look at the Qianlong Emperor, who was deeply obsessed with imperial power, had a lot of means to govern jiangshan, and he was also very concerned about the succession of royal heirs. A year after the death of the Yan clan, the Qianlong Emperor, a worried old father-in-law, chose a side Fu Jin Niu Cobalt Lu clan for Yu Yan.
The weak Hitara clan could not decide anything, nor could she prevent Bian Fujin from entering the door, the only thing she could do was to raise her children well, to keep her duties everywhere, and to let her husband HaoYan have no family troubles.
On the third day of the ninth lunar month in the 60th year of Qianlong (1795 AD), Qianlong officially made Prince Jia the Crown Prince. On the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, the Qianlong Emperor held a Zen throne celebration, and the crown prince Became the Jiaqing Emperor and officially sat on the throne of the Qing Emperor, this year, the Jiaqing Emperor was 36 years old.
On the third day after the Jiaqing Emperor ascended the throne, he made his wife Xi Tara the empress, and at the same time, he made the Cobalt Lu clan a noble concubine. Since then, the Hitara clan has begun her life as a queen.
The weak-lived Xitala clan died just one year after she turned a year old, but the affectionate Jiaqing Emperor remembered for a long time
Since The Tragic Birth of Hitara's fourth pregnancy, her physical condition has been declining. Just after the first month of 1797, the Queen Hitara clan died at the age of 38. At that time, she had only been the Empress of the Qing Dynasty for a year, and she had just been married to the Jiaqing Emperor's only son, Ai Xinjueluo Minning, for more than 2 months.
Although the Qianlong Emperor had abdicated, his dragon power had not diminished, and his right to speak and majesty still made Jiaqing, the new emperor, cautious and cautious. In order not to let the abdicated Qianlong Emperor blame himself, the jiaqing emperor who had lost his wife could only try his best to hide his sadness and pain, and ordered the internal attendants to handle the funeral of the empress. After his death, the Hitara clan was given the title of "Empress Xiaoshu" and was buried in the Changling Underground Palace in the eighth year of Jiaqing.
But in fact, the Jiaqing Emperor's heart has always been full of guilt for not being able to solemnly organize the funeral of his beloved wife, Theitara Clan. Since the death of Empress Xiaoshu, the Jiaqing Emperor has composed nearly 60 poems to mourn his beloved wife. Among them, when Yu Jiaqing was in his third year, the poem "Jade Mandarin Duck" written by yu Jiaqing revealed his desire to become a husband and wife with the Hitara clan.
In order to give an account to his beloved Empress Xiaoshu, he allowed himself and Min Ning, the only prince of the Hitara clan, to inherit the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, which was later the Daoguang Emperor. When the Jiaqing Emperor was dying, he instructed his descendants to bury their coffins with the late Empress Xiaoshu, and not to have other concubines buried together.
Although the gentle Xi Tara clan died early, they became a white moonlight in the heart of the Jiaqing Emperor. Not only that, the only son of the Hitara clan was also very filial and loving to her, and the reason why she was honored by later generations as "Empress Xiaoshurui" was also because his son Emperor Daoguang had accumulated for her.
Although empress Xiaoshurui of the Qing Dynasty died early at the age of 38, she was the happiest of all the empresses of the Qing Dynasty, with a low birth but able to ascend to the throne, and she could get the deep love of the emperor's husband without struggling to be favored, and her son was also very filial, although such a life was slightly short, it was enough to be envied by the women of the world!
