In December of the ninth year of Tiancong (1635 AD), Emperor Taiji, Nurhaci's successor, issued an edict in which Emperor Taiji not only severely reprimanded his sister Princess Hada Mangguji, but also ordered princess Hada to be brutally executed.
It is said that this third daughter of Nurhaci was cut by her younger brother Emperor Taijisheng with more than three thousand swords, and this made Mangguji the only princess among all the princesses in the entire Qing Dynasty to be lingchi.
What exactly did Mangguji do wrong? So much so that Huang Taiji hated her so much and let her be punished so cruelly? In fact, Mang Guji's death had a lot to do with a domestic slave in her family called Leng Monk Ji.
It was this family slave Leng Monk Who sent the noble princess Mang Guji to the brink of extinction, and, along with Mang Guji, was executed, along with her entire family.
That is to say, a small house slave can make Nurhaci's daughter's soul break the Yellow Spring through operation, so what story happened between Princess Mang Guji and the house slave Leng Monk Machine? And why was Emperor Taiji, who personally ordered the execution of his sister, so cruel?
Mangguji's mother was once Nurhaci's favorite Dafujin.
As we all know, Nurhaci had four concubines in his lifetime, and his first concubine, that is, his hair-tie wife Tong Jia. After the death of Ha nanzaqing, Nurhaci married his step-concubine Fucha Gundai.
Before marrying Nurhaci, Gundai had a brief marriage.
Her ex-husband was named Qi Zhun, and according to the generations, he was also Nurhaci's cousin, but Qi Zhun fell ill and died young, and at the time of his death, Nurhaci's wife Tong Jia. Hahana Zaqing also died not long ago, so, in line with the custom of "brothers die brothers and wives", Gundai took the child and remarried to Nurhaci.
At that time, Houjin was in its infancy, and various affairs were complicated, and the major affairs of Nurhaci's family, as well as the internal affairs of the harem and financial revenue and expenditure, were even more complicated, and a corresponding person was urgently needed to take care of it.
And all this, after Gundai married Nurhaci, after her step-by-step care, gradually became orderly, so Nurhaci's feelings for Gundai became deeper and deeper.
Moreover, as a woman who has experienced marriage, Gundai knows more about what Nurhaci wants, so on the battlefield, it is Gundai who accompanies Nurhaci to cheer him up, and when he returns home, it is also Gundai who soothes Nurhaci's wounds, and she firmly grasps Nurhaci's heart with the unique charm of a mature woman.
In particular, after she gave birth to three children for Nurhaci, her status became more and more respected.
Gundai had two sons and a daughter for Nurhaci, of which the eldest son was named Mang Guertai and the second son was named Dege, and this daughter was mang guji, the princess of Hada mentioned above.
It is reasonable to say that as nurhaci's favorite dafujin child at that time, Mang Gultai and Mang Guji should have wanted the wind to wind and rain to rain, but in fact, compared with the increasingly high power of his brother Mang Gultai, the life of his younger sister Mang Guji was not too good.
The biggest problem was in her marriage.
At that time, all nurhaci's energy was on expanding the territory, and in order to complete the great cause, he constantly drew and divided the Jurchen and Mongol tribes, and when it came to attracting other tribal forces, marriage was the best way.
After all, the marriage will make the two tribes relatives, and the two sides will stand on the same front, and Nurhaci will control many surrounding tribes into his own hands in this way.
Therefore, as one of Nurhaci's daughters, Mangguji naturally became the object of marriage.
Nurhaci's chosen husband for his daughter was Wu'ergu of the Hada Department of The Jurchen Hada In haixi, and by marrying Mangguji over, Nurhaci successfully grasped all the information of the Hada Department, and in the following years, gradually infiltrated the Hada Department, and finally took full control of the Hada Department.
Nurhaci's purpose was achieved, but as a personal person, She was obviously very dissatisfied with her marriage and life, but what she did not expect was that her dissatisfaction would be staged again in the future.
In the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626 AD), Nurhaci died of illness, and the succession of the Khanship of Houjin became a big problem in front of him, and at that time, there were four Baylors who were really eligible to compete.
The first is Nurhaci's second son, Daishan, who died prematurely after the early death of Daishan's brother Chu Ying, was actually Nurhaci's eldest son, so his competitive advantage was the greatest.
The second is the second Belle Amin, who followed Nurhaci on his crusade to the west very early on, and also made a lot of merit, so he also had certain advantages.
The third was Nurhaci's fourth son, Emperor Taiji, and it was Nurhaci's other son, Mang Guji's brother Mang Gultai, who competed with him.
Of the four, Daishan was suspected and alienated by Nurhaci because of his rumored affair with nurhaci's Fujin Abahai (Dorgon's biological mother), and although he still made him the Grand Beyler, the inheritance qualification had been lost, and the second Beyler Amin, since he was only Nurhaci's nephew, was also disqualified from inheriting.
That is to say, the only ones who really compete are Huang Taiji and Mang Gultai, and as for Nurhaci's other sons, they are either young or do not have an advantage in military merit, so they are basically kicked out.
The tragedy of the life of Princess Hada Mangguji also stemmed from her brother Mang Gultai's competition for the Khan's throne.
In the beginning, Mang Guertai still had a certain advantage over the Emperor Taiji in terms of military merit and status, but he did a stupid thing and ruined his future.
As mentioned earlier, Mang gultai and Mangguji's biological mother was the stepfather Fucha Gundai, and Nurhaci had a time when he was extremely fond of this capable stepfather, but a few years before his death, Nurhaci actually gave hugh his wife who accompanied him from birth to death.
The reason for the divorce is because there are rumors that Nurhaci's son Daishan not only has an affair with his stepmother Abahai, but also has an ambiguous relationship with another stepmother, Fucha Gundai, although this kind of thing has not been caught by Nurhaci, but the rumors are like a tiger, forcing Nurhaci to have to take Gondai away.
After the suspension of the Gun Dynasty, Nurhaci's body was also worse than a day, and who this heir chose was the problem that had to be faced at that time, and Mang Gultai, as one of Nurhaci's sons, had to increase his weight in his father's heart at this time.
He actually killed his mother.
Mang Gultai's reason for killing his mother was that since his mother already had bad rumors, his father Nurhaci was inconvenient to vent his anger, and naturally it was up to his son to do it.
Whether this kind of behavior made Nurhaci look at his son is unknown, but it caused a very bad impact on Mang Gultai, after all, killing his own mother is equivalent to a beast.
Therefore, in the next competition with Huang Taiji, Mang Guertai naturally lost, and no one would support a person who was like a beast.
As a result, Nurhaci's fourth son, Emperor Taiji, ascended to the Khan's throne, and Hou Jin also entered the Emperor Taiji era from this time, and the first thing after the Emperor Taiji took the throne was to clean up his brother Mang Gultai.
Soon, Mang Gurtai was sent by Emperor Taiji to fight against the Ming army, but due to the stubborn resistance of the Ming army, the battle situation was not smooth, and Huang Taiji also used the topic to play and publicly reprimanded Mang Gurtai.
Mang Guertai, who himself held a grudge against Emperor Taiji for ascending to the throne, was not only angry and unusual, but also lost his mind after being reprimanded, and in front of the generals, he actually drew his sword and asked Huang Taiji whether he was deliberately targeting him.
Mang Gultai was furious and drew his blade out of its sheath. Swinging left and right, shang indignantly said: "It is the one who has tried to kill his mother to invite favors!" --Draft History of the Qing Dynasty
Therefore, The Emperor Taiji calculated Mang Guertai's new and old accounts together, first killing his mother to invite favors, and then rebelling against the offender, and finally agreed to fine silver and remove the title of Baylor.
Soon after, Mang Gurtai died of a violent illness in the midst of extreme depression, and there were rumors that Mang Gurtai's death was behind the hands of emperor Taiji.
The death of his brother Mang Guertai also affected Mang Guji, and soon after Mang Guertai's violent death, a group of soldiers with the blue flag went to worship Mang Gultai in a mighty way, and after this matter was known to the Emperor Taiji, he was not only furious, but also completely alienated his sister Mang Guji.
Of course, Huang Taiji was not prepared to let Go of Mang Guji, to be precise, he wanted to get rid of all the people who were with Mang Guertai's entire family, and he was waiting for a suitable opportunity at this time.
Finally, in the ninth year of Tiancong, Mang Guji's household slave Leng Monk Ji came forward to report that Mang Guertai and his brother Dege class had conspired to rebel, and the emperor Taiji attached great importance to it after hearing about it, and sent people to Mang Guertai's home to search, and very "smoothly" found several wooden plaques engraved with the "Seal of the Emperor of the Golden Kingdom".
That is to say, Mang Guji's two brothers, Mang Guertai and Dege Class, have died for unknown reasons, and their families have also fallen apart, and Mang Guji, the only remaining fruit, will naturally not live long.
In the denunciation of the leng monk, Mang Guji was also involved, and Mang Guji's third husband, Zonom DuLing, also came out to "testify", saying that Mang Guji had invited his brother Mang Guertai to his home to secretly discuss the rebellion.
The exposure of leng monk ji and the evidence of Zonom DuLing completely ruined Mang Guji's way of life, although the revelation and evidence of the two men were quite suspected of "death without proof", but it did not prevent Emperor Taiji from achieving his goal.
Therefore, Emperor Taiji immediately issued an edict and executed Mang Guji Lingchi for the crime of "treason".
Mang Guji's death did not stop the tragedy, and Emperor Taiji also executed all of Mang Guertai's three sons and Mang Guji's half-brothers, and even the more than a thousand Zhenglan Banner soldiers who had worshipped Mang Guertai were also executed one by one.
What is even more tragic is that Mang Guji's second daughter was originally married to Hauge, the eldest son of Emperor Taiji, and Hauge saw that his mother-in-law had ended up like this, so in line with the principle of "breaking the drum and beating ten thousand people", he came to a "great righteousness and annihilation of relatives" and brutally killed his wife.
After this incident, MangGuji's entire family was basically slaughtered and punctured, although she was nurhaci's third daughter, but in the end because of the political struggle, she ended up with such a miserable end.
To sum up, the reason why Mang Guji was executed by Ling Chi was that on the surface she committed the crime of treason, but in fact, this was just a means used by Huang Taiji to purge political enemies, because Mang Guertai was once Huang Taiji's biggest competitor, which led to the slaughter of Huang Taiji and the families behind him one by one through various means after Huang Taiji ascended to the throne, and Mang Guji, as Mang Guertai's sister, also became a poor victim in this political struggle.
