With the popularity of the TV series "Huanzhugege" series, the corner of " Five Brothers Yongqi" also became popular, becoming the most "famous" Qing Dynasty prince in the eyes of the public.
Fifth Brother Yongqi
In the TV series, Fifth Brother Yongqi was deeply loved and valued by Emperor Qianlong, and even once became the best candidate for the prince. The queen (succeeded by Nara's ) is the "number one enemy" of little swallow in the palace. For this reason, the fifth elder brother Yongqi naturally stands on the opposite side of the queen.
So, in real history, was the fifth elder brother Yongqi really loved by Emperor Qianlong? Is the relationship with the successor Nara really that bad?
The most famous prince in the Qing Dynasty, the fifth prince, Aisin Gioro Yongqi
On the seventh day of the second month of the sixth year of Qianlong, the fifth prince Yongqi was born, the fifth son of Emperor Qianlong, and his biological mother Concubine Yu Corriet's.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the 28th year of Qianlong's reign, there was a fire in the Qingyan Hall in Kyushu, Yuanmingyuan. Yongqi personally carried Emperor Qianlong out of the fire.
On February 15th, the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, Yongqi was sent to the East Tomb to pay tribute to Queen Xiaoxian, ; Associated with gangrene.
On the third day of the second lunar month in the thirty-first year of Qianlong,Qianlong went to Zhaoxiang's office to see Yongqi's illness; at noon on March 8th, Yongqi died of illness and was given the posthumous name of Chun. On the ninth day of the third month, Qianlong visited the fifth son of Emperor Dian at Ji'an; on March 14th, the golden coffin of Yongqi was moved to Jing'an Village.
Aisin Gioro·Yongqi
Fifth elder brother Yongqi's "resume" is relatively short, related to his early death at the age of 26, but as the "favorite" prince of Emperor Qianlong, It seems too brief.
Is the fifth elder brother Yongqi really loved by Emperor Qianlong? The real answer may be quite the opposite!
1. Emperor Qianlong never really clarified the identity of Yongqi's "crown prince".
Putting aside the TV series, Emperor Qianlong did admire the fifth elder brother Yongqi in history, and his words seemed to reveal the idea of making Yongqi the crown prince.
Qianlong Emperor
"Records of Qing Dynasty and Records of Emperor Gaozong" contains:
"At that time, I regarded the emperor's five sons as more valuable among the sons, and the Chinese, , Manchu , Mongolian language, horse steps, riding and archery, algorithms, etc., are all well-versed, and they are quite dedicated to them, but they are expressive, and they have passed away due to illness."
Qianlong's meaning is, if not because of five Brother Yongqi died early due to illness, so he will be the candidate for the crown prince. However, Qianlong's "truth revealing" was said in the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong, when Yongqi died of illness for more than 20 years. If these remarks were made shortly after Yongqi's death, I believe that Qianlong really valued Yongqi very much, and even intended to make him his reserve.
is also the heir to the throne valued by Qianlong. After the death of the second elder brother Yonglian, Emperor Qianlong publicly announced the identity of his crown prince.And wantonly organize his funeral.
Yonglian
The decree said: "Yonglian is born to the queen, my direct son, smart and noble, and extraordinary. The name of the emperor's examination implies the meaning of inheriting the ancestral utensils. The ceremony was completed, and the secret decree was written in person, and the ministers were called to hide behind the list of "Zhengdaguangguang" in the Qianqing Palace. Although it has not been registered, it has been appointed as the crown prince. Now that he has passed away, all ceremonies are registered with the crown prince. "
Let's look again at the edict issued by Emperor Qianlong after the untimely death of the seventh elder, Yongcong , which also clarified the identity of his heir to the throne.
Yong Cong
"The seventh son of the emperor, Yong Cong, is the most intelligent in the middle palace. Just two weeks later, he is very different. The Queen Mother, because of her direct descendant, she is very intelligent. I love it the most. I also deeply hope that the education will be established, but it belongs to Chengyu."
When he arrived at the fifth elder brother Yongqi, not only did he not give him the status of the so-called heir to the throne, but the scale of the funeral after his death was far inferior. Is the treatment enjoyed by the prince who was deeply loved by Qianlong?
2. Yongqi's "king" seems to be glorious, but it is a false name.
Let's talk about the title of the fifth prince, Yongqi, and Prince Shuorong. Throughout the entire Qing Dynasty, there were only two Princes He Shuorong. In addition to Yongqi, the other is the fourth son of Shunzhi and Dong Efei . But the same Prince Heshuorong has different Manchu characters, so the meanings are also different.
fifth elder brother Yongqi
Shunzhi Emperor The fourth son's "Rong" is wesihun,As a posthumous title and other terms, it means noble, noble, and lofty, and the corresponding Chinese characters include honor, honor, and honor.
Yongqi's "honor" is a Latin Manchu word for "dengge", a posthumous title, etc., which means glory and glory.
The difference between the two honors is that they have two meanings in Chinese.
The fourth son of Emperor Shunzhi, like Yongqi, was not born directly, but Shunzhi thought he was of noble birth, and his love was obvious. And Yongqi, who was also "loved" by Emperor Qianlong, was deeply favored and honored by the emperor.
Contacting the fire incident in the Qingyan Palace in Kyushu, Yuanmingyuan, the canonization of Yongqi by Emperor Qianlong is more like a reward to him, rewarding Yongqi for his behavior of saving his life and being loyal to his father, and regards this reward as a kind of reward. A gift to Yongqi.
The Palace of Qingyan in Kyushu, Yuanmingyuan
It should be emphasized that Yongqi was already seriously ill when he was crowned prince. Just four months after being crowned prince, Yongqi died of illness. It is easy for people to associate this "king" of Yongqi with the "Chongxi" of the imperial concubine Jinfenghuang. Qianlong's unconventional crowning of Yongqi this time is more formal than reality.
3. The location of Yongqi's tomb suggests that it was not favored by Qianlong.
Yongqi was already ill when he was crowned a prince, and Qianlong's crowning her as a prince was a comfort and encouragement.
"Because of a serious illness, he was named a prince."
In other words,At least before November 26, Qianlong's 30th year, Qianlong knew about Yongqi's condition. However, the only time Qianlong visited Yongqi was on the third day of the second lunar month in the thirty-first year of Qianlong, with an interval of more than three months. If Yongqi was really valued and loved by Qianlong, it would not have been possible to visit him after so long, let alone only once.
Yong Qi was seriously ill
After Yong Qi passed away, he was buried in the "Prince Miyun Tomb". Before Yongqi was buried, this "Prince Miyun Tomb" had been buried with Yonghuang, the eldest son of Qianlong, Prince Anding, and Yongzhang, the third son of Xunjun.
here comes the point. After Yongqi's death, instead of being buried in the " Duanhui Crown Prince's Garden " where Yonglian and Yongcong were located, he was buried with the elder brother Yonghuang and the third elder brother Yongzhang. Who are Yonghuang and Yongzhang? These two brothers were angrily reprimanded by Qianlong for not being sad enough at Empress Xiaoxian's funeral, and they were two princes who were publicly deprived of the right to inherit the throne by Emperor Qianlong!
Big Brother Yonghuang
"These two can never inherit the great line... Yi Deng is so unfilial, I can't bear to kill Yi Deng because of the love of father and son, Yi Deng should know the grace of security, An Divide the day! And ask all the kings and ministers to learn from each other, and never break your word."
Yongqi was buried with them. Obviously, Qianlong thought that the three brothers were the same kind of people, implying that Yongqi was not the crown prince in Qianlong's mind at all. candidate. In other words, Qianlong's burial of Yongqi here is a manifestation of disgust and dislike.
To sum up, it is not difficult to conclude that the fifth prince Yongqi was not loved by Emperor Qianlong at all, but was more likely to be disgusted.
Fifth Brother Yongqi
Speaking of which, many people may have doubts, even if Yongqi is not loved by Qianlong,But why did Qianlong hate him?
According to my personal guess, this is probably related to the successor Nala clan, or the source of the subsequent broken hair and Qianlong's rebellion lies in the fifth elder brother Yongqi!
What happened to Qianlong's subsequent hair loss? After that, the relationship with Yongqi is unusual!
There is no clear record in the relevant history books about the reason for the hair loss of Nara after Qianlong. In other words, Emperor Qianlong did not want to publicize the truth about his subsequent haircut, but only declared that "the queen is crazy".
Breaking hair later
Emperor Gaozong's southern tour, the empress cut off hair. At that time, the historians were taboo, and they only contained traces of madness. In fact, there was a reason. The author of the book made the matter of viewing flowers and drinking as exposé. Although he may have said it too much, it was also based on old rumors, and he did not shoot it out of thin air.
Then, what was the real reason for Nara's hair loss?
According to records, on the 30th year of Qianlong on the eighth day of the first lunar month , the Emperor Qianlong gave the queen birthday items in advance due to his trip to the south of the Yangtze River. On the way, Qianlong also celebrated his birthday on the tenth day of February. Obviously, at this time Qianlong and his successors were still in love and had a very harmonious relationship.
Queen
On the 18th day of the second lunar month, they came to Hangzhou and had breakfast at the beautiful "Banana Stone Musical Qin". During the meal, the queen did not show up again, and only the imperial concubine Wei Jia, Qing concubine Lu, Rong Concubine and Zhuo were accompanied by the emperor for dinner.
On the day,Emperor Qianlong sent his concubine Fulongan to send the queen to the palace by water according to the designated route. The two stops a day will speed up the return to Beijing. The horse trackers along the road must be well prepared, and the elder brother in the palace will ask the chief eunuch Pan. Feng et al.: "The queen is crazy." She asked Nara to recuperate in the apse of Yikun Palace, and she was not allowed to see anyone.
In other words, before the morning of February 18, the relationship between Qianlong and his successors was normal. It was only at night that the two seemed to have quarreled, and the quarrel was so intense that Qianlong forced Qianlong to send his successor back to the palace.
Qianlong and the Empress
Here comes the point. The day when Qianlong and his successor quarreled was on the 18th day of the second month of the leap in the 30th year of Qianlong, and three days before the 15th day of the second month of the leap, Yongqi was sent to Dongling to pay tribute to the Queen Xiaoxian. At this time, Yongqi has a high probability of having gangrene, or even earlier.
Associated with gangrene, according to " The Golden Mirror of Medical Medicine ", this "is a syndrome that can be cured by treatment". That is to say, Yongqi's disease is not an incurable disease, but it is only because the disease has dragged on for a long time that he eventually died prematurely. Therefore, there is reason to believe that Yongqi was already seriously ill when he was dispatched by Qianlong to Dongling to pay homage to Empress Xiaoxian.
In ancient times, communication basically relied on carriages, horses and letters, and three days was almost the time when Nara got this news. When he heard that Emperor Qianlong sent Yong Qi, who was seriously ill, to pay homage to Empress Xiaoxian, Nara couldn't help but asked to return to the palace to visit Yong Qi!
Fifth Brother Yongqi
Huh? Will you visit Yongqi in the future? Yes, you are not mistaken! The real relationship between Nara's family and the fifth elder brother Yongqi may subvert your past concepts. According to my personal speculation and judgment: the successor Nala family and the fifth elder brother Yongqi are in a mother-son relationship. To be precise, the fifth elder brother Yongqi is the adopted son of the successor Nala family!
The rearing system of princes in the Qing Dynasty, starting from the Emperor Kangxi , stipulated that all princes must be raised by concubines and above, and no concubines could raise their own children. To leave the biological mother, to be raised by others, it is not a specific holiday, and usually rarely see each other.
The title of imperial concubine Yu Guifei, the biological mother of the fifth elder brother Yongqi, is posthumously awarded, which means that Yongqi must not have been brought up by Concubine Yu herself. When Yong Qi was born, Concubine Yu was only a nobleman of the sea , she was promoted to Concubine Yu after giving birth to Yong Qi, and Concubine Yu was not promoted to Concubine Yu until the tenth year of Qianlong. Until her death, Concubine Yu had never been promoted again. The mother is more valuable than the child. Judging from the status of Concubine Yu's harem, the fifth elder brother Yongqi will definitely not be the prince that Emperor Qianlong loves and values!
So, who raised the fifth elder brother Yongqi? According to the status of the concubines in Qianlong's harem at that time, the only concubines who were qualified to raise the prince were Empress Fucha, the successor Nara, the imperial concubine Huixian, the imperial concubine Shujia and the imperial concubine Chunhui . Brother Wu's adoptive mother must be one of the above five concubines.
Queen Fucha
First exclude Queen Fucha. Empress Fucha, as the head of the central palace, once gave birth to a son-in-law, and the fifth elder brother Yongqi, as a concubine, generally would not let the empress come to raise him.
Second, the imperial concubine Huixian is excluded. Because the concubine Huixian had no children, and her status in the harem at that time was second only to Queen Fucha, so she was very likely to raise the prince early, the elder brother Yonghuang, the third elder brother Yongzhang, and the fourth elder brother Yongxuan. , one of the three princes must be raised by her.
Then, Yong Qi's adoptive mother is one of the three who succeeded the Nala family, the imperial concubine Shujia and the imperial concubine Chunhui.
The fourth elder brother, Aixin Gioro Yongxuan , the biological mother of the emperor Shujia. In November of the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign (1763), it was ordered to follow the Prince of Heshuo, Luyi, to surrender to the King of Lujun.
Six elder brothers, Aisin Gioro Yongrong , the biological mother Chunhui Emperor Concubine. In December of the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign, he succeeded Wang Yunxi of Shenjing County, Feng Beiler, and managed Internal Affairs Office , served as the president of " Siku Quanshu " Jade House, and supervised Qin Tianjian affairs.
The fourth and sixth elder brothers' biological mothers are both imperial concubines, and both are of higher rank than the fifth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine Yu. The child depends on the mother! According to common sense, Emperor Qianlong would have to take this into account when he wanted to adopt the prince to other clansmen. Since he wants to adopt the older prince and go out, there is no reason to skip the fifth elder brother Yongqi. The only explanation is that the "backstage" of the fifth elder brother Yongqi is "harder" than the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother! The identity of this person is about to be revealed, only the queen at that time! It is not difficult to judge from here, succeeded Nara as Yongqi's adoptive mother !
Successor Nara
The secret relationship between successor and Yongqi is revealed, which can explain why the successor Nara has a fierce quarrel with Qianlong,Don't even hesitate to break your hair!
Later, I learned that the adopted son Yongqi was dragging a seriously ill body and went to pay homage to Empress Xiaoxian. Naturally, he felt distressed and proposed to Qianlong to return to the palace to visit Yongqi. Qianlong naturally refused! At this time, it was on a southern tour, and the queen returned to the palace for no reason. How could Qianlong explain it? Could it be that the queen is going back to visit the fifth brother who is seriously ill? Wouldn't that slap Qianlong himself in the face? Not only did he not care about his seriously ill son, but he also asked him to worship Empress Xiaoxian and create a deep love for Empress Fucha for himself! However, Qianlong himself was wandering in the mountains and waters in the south of the Yangtze River.
Emperor Qianlong
One is to protect his own emperor's face, and the other is to return to the palace to visit his son. The two naturally broke out into fierce conflicts and quarrels, and then broke their hair in anger, and Qianlong had no choice but to use "the queen is crazy" as an excuse to send her back to the palace.
Sadly, only four months after the fifth elder brother Yongqi passed away, Nala also passed away. The subsequent hair loss because of Yongqi was hated by Qianlong, and Yongqi was also implicated because of the subsequent hair loss, which was disliked by Qianlong!
The above are some of my personal conjectures and inferences about future hair breakage, just for your entertainment reference, welcome to leave a message for exchange and discussion!
