Wei Yingluo in history: He gave birth to 6 children in 10 years, and only after the bones were excavated did he realize how cruel Qianlong was

A "Strategy of Yanxi Palace" has made many viewers very curious about the real historical concubine Wei Jiashi. Wei Yingluo in the play was initially just a court lady next to Empress Fucha, but later she not only succeeded in avenging her sister and Empress Fucha, she even won the emperor's endless love and the power to be an assistant to the sixth house. And all the way through the barriers, he taught many concubines who were misbehaving.

In fact, whether it is Wei Yingluo in "Strategy of Yanxi Palace" or Wei Weiwan in "Ruyi's Biography", their historical prototypes are all of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong's concubine Wei Jiashi. The highest position that Wei Jia was enrolled during his lifetime was the imperial concubine granted by Qianlong himself, and he also had the power to assist the sixth palace. After the Nara family fell out of favor, the affairs of the Qianlong harem were handled by Wei Jia, the imperial concubine. Although he didn't really become a queen, but the honor that belonged to the queen alone, Wei Jiashi did not lack the same.

In the tenth year of Qianlong, Wei Jia's first appeared in the records of Qing palace history, and he was canonized as Wei Guiren at that time. And shortly after Wei Jiashi was canonized as nobleman, he was immediately named Lingbi by Jin. This kind of promotion speed is extremely rare among the concubines in history. From noble to concubine, it means that Wei Jia has the power to become the lord of the first house. Moreover, it took only 14 years for Wei Jia to be promoted to the position of imperial concubine by Qianlong.

In the 21st year of Qianlong, Wei Jia gave birth to Qianlong's first child, which was later Princess Gulun and Jing. In the following ten years, Qianlong gave birth to four sons and two daughters, not only the most fertile concubines of Qianlong, but also the concubines who gave birth to the most imperial heirs in the history of the Qing Dynasty. Wei Jia's favor can be seen in the number of heirs. The tenth month of pregnancy is equivalent to Wei Jia's most favored ten years.

During the winter solstice of the 38th year of Qianlong, Qianlong secretly registered Yongyan, the fifteenth son of the emperor born to him and his concubine, as the crown prince. However, because Emperor Qianlong lived too long, Wei Jia's family did not see Yong Yan ascending the throne, nor did he enjoy the honor of the Queen Mother. Although Wei Jia acted for the queen to take the Sixth Palace, he was never officially registered as a queen.

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there were only two empresses born in the Han army. One was the imperial concubine Wei Jia of the Qianlong Emperor. Because she was the birth mother of the Jiaqing Emperor, she was posthumously named the pure queen of filial piety. The other was Emperor Kangxi’s birth mother, Tong Jia, who was also named Queen Xiao Kangzhang after his death. The rulers of the Qing dynasty paid attention to their origins, even if their patrons, such as Wei Jia's, gave birth to so many heirs for Emperor Qianlong, they still could not get rid of their origins.

robbed and excavated the Qing Dynasty imperial tomb in Sun Dianying, and found that the corpses in the remaining coffins in the imperial tomb had long been rotten, but Wei Jia's body was still intact. Later expert research also showed that the reason why Xiaoyi Pure Queen's body did not rot was because the body contained a large amount of arsenic, which was the arsenic used at that time. This also shows that Wei Jiashi most likely took arsenic during his lifetime. Only about this point, there is no record in the history books, but one thing that can be determined is that if the body is not decayed, if it is not chronically poisoned by long-term use, it is the dose of arsenic.

In the palace, only Emperor Qianlong could have the power to let Wei Jia, who was the imperial concubine, take arsenic. Many people called Qianlong cruelly about this, and could treat their favorite concubine in this way. Although many scholars have different opinions on this matter, a large amount of arsenic was detected in Wei Jiashi's body, which is indeed an ironclad fact.
