Although in the TV series of the Qing Dynasty, the concubine and concubines fight to the death for favor, but the real history is not like this. There are occasional fights between them, but the possibility of putting each other to death is still very slim. Therefore, on the whole, most concubines in the history of the Qing Dynasty were able to die well, and of course some people died in accidents, such as the concubine Chang that I will talk about today.
Concubine Chang is from the Hesheli family of Manchuria, inlaid with a blue flag.
Hersheli is the oldest surname in Manchuria. The most famous surname is Zhenghuangqi Manchuria Sonny and Xiaochengren Empress. Chang Fei is from Manchuria with Lanlan Flag. Therefore, she and Sony can only be regarded as the same surname, not the same family. .
In the second year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court organized the Eight Banners Draft. This time, a total of four talented women were selected, namely, the full court, the noble person, the noble person and the precious person.
Among them, the precious person is the concubine Chang mentioned in this article. It is worth mentioning that the noble person who ranks among the precious people has the same surname as Hesher, and comes from Manchuria Zhenghuang Qi. It is speculated that this show girl should be Sony’s Offspring. However, the ending of this nobleman was not very good. She was named as a mue in Daoguang ten years, but in the next less than a year, she was demoted to four ranks and she was continuously demoted to an official woman (a wooden official woman). , And finally died in the name of Harmony.
Compared with Mu nobles, the fate of Concubine Chang is not much better, but in the first few years she entered the palace, she was still very favored by Daoguang. In just three years, she was promoted to Zhenbi and Zhenfei. , However, just when the concubine Chang was happily preparing to accept the canonization ceremony in the sixth year of Daoguang, Daoguang suddenly made an order to demote her as a concubine, and three years later, she was demoted as a nobleman again.
There are no historical records about the reasons for Chang Fei's two demotions. However, judging from Daoguang's demotion to other concubines, Chang Fei should have made some mistakes. Ever since Daoguang's nine years, Concubine Chang was demoted to a nobleman, she never turned over again in the end of Emperor Daoguang.
After the death of Emperor Daoguang, Concubine Chang finally ushered in a new life. According to the palace rules, she was named the emperor's regular concubine by the newly succeeded Xianfengzun. After that, Concubine Chang lived a life of unfettered concubine. Since she prefers to take a bath, whenever summer comes, she will go to the Old Summer Palace to cool off.
However, the Qing Dynasty was already in decline at the time, and Xianfeng was bullied by foreign powers in the later period of Xianfeng's reign. In August of the tenth year of Xianfeng, the British and French forces invaded Beijing. Xianfeng and his concubines and many ministers fled to the Rehe Mountain Resort. What is unexpected is that Chang Fei But left alone in the garden. Facing the looting of the British and French forces, Concubine Chang was panicked, and she was scared to death. The poor generation of the Qing imperial concubine died in this way.
After Emperor Tongzhi succeeded to the throne, he was named the emperor and permanent concubine, which was a comfort to the concubine who died due to the war. It is worth mentioning that the concubine Chang was not buried in the concubine’s bed immediately after his death, but was temporarily buried in the Tiancun funeral palace. It was not until Tongzhi succeeded that the concubine was reburied to Mu Dongling.
