In the ninth year of Shunzhi (1652), Chuoerji was named the Duke of the Town.

On August 25, the tenth year of Shunzhi (1653), Emperor Shunzhi demoted the queen to the Yuan Dynasty as Concubine Jing (Concubine Jing was the cousin of Empress Xiaohuizhang, and Concubine Jing's father Wu Keshan was the great-uncle of Empress Xiaohuizhang).

The following year, Queen Xiaohuizhang and her younger sister Shuhui were sent to the palace and were established as queens in the same year.

Since then, the Empress Xiao Huizhang's family has embarked on the road to prosperity, even surpassing the eldest branch of the Wu Keshan family who lost power, and has a close relationship with the Qing court. They have been married 17 times and once held three titles, namely hereditary Dorobele , the hereditary Zhenguo Gong, and the cessation of attack and auxiliary Duke were all brought by Queen Xiao Huizhang.

Shunzhiperiod

• On September 24th, the tenth year of Shunzhi (1653), the Ministry of Rites proposed the establishment of a queen, and the Shunzhi Emperor ordered a meeting of ministers to make a report.
• On the sixth day of October in the tenth year of Shunzhi (1653), the result of the discussion among the ministers was to expand the scope of screening in Manchuria and Mongolia, and be sure to select a queen who satisfied the emperor.
• On the third day of May in the eleventh year of Shunzhi (1654), the emperor finally decided to appoint Chuoerji, the Duke of Horqin Town, as his concubine, and dispatched the Duke of Horqin Town, Babutai, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Batulu Gong, Aobai, Wu He, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Shajidala, the minister of the Lifan Academy , etc. went to pay the betrothal gift.
• In June of the 11th year of Shunzhi (1654), she was appointed queen.
• On August 22, the 13th year of Shunzhi (1656), the internal minister E Shuo female Dong E's entered the palace and was established as a virtuous concubine. In September, she was promoted to the imperial concubine.
• In the winter of the 14th year of Shunzhi (1657), the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was not in good health. The then imperial concubine Dong E served her day and night without sleep or food, but Xiaohui did not come to inquire about her, nor did she send anyone to greet her.

When the Dong E family heard that Shizu ordered the ministers to discuss the abolition of the queen on the grounds that filial piety violated filial piety, she knelt down and kowtowed, saying that if Shizu deposed the queen, she would not dare to live anymore.

• In the first month of the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), the Emperor Shunzhi issued an order to the Ministry of Rites: "The queen shows her respect for the royal palace, shows filial piety to the ancestors, endures hardships, and performs courtesies to support me (the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng). This is the norm in her internal duties. The author is the Empress Dowager. The Holy Eucharist is in violation of the rules, so I serve day and night, without food and rest. As a daughter-in-law, the Queen is usually respectful and diligent, and the Queen is deeply loved by the Queen Mother and is very kind to her. However, this time she greets everyone with greeting etiquette. I feel that I am missing something. Although I have been forgiven by the kindness of the Holy Mother (Empress Dowager), I have some regrets about the sincerity of my filial piety. The reason why Xiang Nian (the first Erdeni Bemba) deposed the empress is Because she is not in agreement with me, she has to do it as a last resort. The queen's title and treasures will remain as usual, and she should go to the palace to write memorials and other items, which will be temporarily suspended."
• The empress did not serve the empress dowager diligently. Emperor Shunzhi believed that the empress violated her filial piety, and asked the kings and ministers to discuss the matter of abolishing the empress.
• In February of the 15th year of Shunzhi (1658), the queen fell ill. Imperial Concubine Dong E took care of her "without blinking an eye for five days and nights" until the queen recovered.
• On March 25, the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), due to the strong opposition of the imperial concubine Dong E, the abolition of the posthumous affairs failed.

Emperor Shunzhi reported to the Empress Dowager, and presented a message to the Empress Dowager, saying: "My edict the day before yesterday was based on the principles of family affairs. However, I remember that the empress was not very polite in her youth, and the empress was always affectionate and affectionate. We should be tolerant, benevolent and respectful, and we should abide by the imperial memorials and memorials in the future, and we will continue to be sealed as usual."

• On August 19, the 17th year of Shunzhi (1660), the imperial concubine Dong E passed away and was posthumously honored as Queen of Xiaoxian.
• On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the 18th year of Shunzhi (1661), Emperor Shunzhi died.

During the Kangxi period

Another honorable family is Borjijit, Huangkao Gongjing Concubine, Borjijit family, Huangkao Concubine Duanshun, Dong E family, Huangkao Concubine Ningqi .
• The third day of October in the 19th year of Kangxi was the 40th birthday of Empress Dowager Renxian. On this day

, Emperor Kangxi made an exception and "ignored political affairs." In the morning, an event was held within the royal family. Four generations including the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, the Empress Dowager, Emperor Kangxi, and the Crown Prince Yinreng gathered together to celebrate the 40th birthday of the Empress Dowager Renxian.

• Empress Dowager Zhaosheng (Empress Xiaozhuangwen) died at the age of 74.

The empress, mother and son were in deep mourning. Empress Dowager Renxian was weeping and unable to get up. Emperor Kangxi also cut off her braid to express her filial piety. After that, mother and son had further contact.

• In the twenty-eighth year, the Ningshou Palace was built and completed. Emperor Kangxi led the kings and ministers to invite the Queen Mother to live there.
• In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi's northern tour, the Empress Dowager Renxian celebrated her birthday and sent a letter to express her congratulations. The Empress Dowager sent clothes and fur. Although Emperor Kangxi could not take it because the river was not frozen, he still wrote a letter saying that "when the weather is cold, he will take it happily." Dried fruits and local products were sent to the palace, and the chief eunuch consultant was ordered to invite the Queen Mother to taste them (seeing that the Maoqin Palace received family letters from Emperor Kangxi).
• Thirty-eight years ago, the emperor visited the south, accompanied by the Queen Mother Feng Renxian. Later, when the Empress Dowager celebrated her 60th and 70th birthdays, Emperor Kangxi personally composed poems and poems and congratulated them with great gifts. However, the Empress Dowager stopped the banquet in order to be frugal.
• In the fifty-second year of Kangxi's reign, his sister Concubine Shuhui (Concubine Shuhui) died at the age of more than seventy. At that time, Queen Mother Renxian was already old, her teeth were shaky, and she was unhappy. She said to Kangxi: "The teeth are shaky. If it has fallen off, the pain will stop; if it has not fallen off, the pain will be unbearable." Kangxi responded: "The Queen Mother's holy life has exceeded seventy years, and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren are almost a hundred, and all of the Queen Mother's grandchildren are about to turn gray. And the teeth are about to fall off, let alone my grandma at such an old age. Our ancestors often said that the loss of teeth in the elderly is good for the children and grandchildren. This is a good omen for the Empress Dowager Cixi to have long-lasting blessings." The Empress Dowager was very happy when she heard this and said with a smile. : "The emperor's words should make all of us, old women, happy to hear them!"
• In December of the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, Empress Dowager Renxian was also seriously ill, and Emperor Kangxi was also exhausted mentally and physically because of the deposed crown prince, and his head was dizzy. She was swollen and unable to walk, so she still bound her feet with a handkerchief and went to Ningshou Palace to personally offer her decoction. When the Queen Mother was unconscious, Emperor Kangxi knelt under the bed, held the Queen Mother's hand and called out: "Mother, I am here." Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother opened her eyes and looked at her. , unable to speak, held the emperor's hand to look at her; in Bingxu, the Queen Mother died, and Kangxi mourned so much that he insisted on performing the ritual of cutting off his braids (cutting off his braids was originally only used for the emperor's funeral) to express his grief, which was no less than the death of Xiaozhuang; Some ministers welcomed the idea, saying that the nephew had been promoted to the throne after Xiaokang for a long time and it was not suitable to move, but he wanted to honor the nephew as the god of Xiaohui and Xiaokang in the temple. The great scholar Wang Guan said: "Your Majesty is holy and filial to heaven. In the past, Taishi The Empress Dowager's nephew's temple did not place filial piety on top, but now he is willing to put filial piety and health on top of filial piety and benefit?" Later Kangxi denounced it and ordered it to be corrected, and the eldest mother-in-law was placed on top of the biological mother. After the death of Xiaohui, posthumous titles were accumulated during the reigns of Yongzheng and Qianlong, and she was named Queen Xiaohui Renxian Duanyi Cishu Gongan Chunde Shun Tianyi Shengzhang, abbreviated as Queen Xiaohuizhang.

• Xiaohui was later buried in the east of Xiaoling Mausoleum of Shizu, which is called Xiaodong Tomb. Shizu, Queen Xiaokang, and Queen Xiaoxian were buried in Xiaoling together. However, Emperor Kangxi only inscribed the title "Zhang" on his biological mother and aunt, and called him Queen Zhang. In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the Empress Xiaoxian could only offer sacrifices in the Xiaoling Mausoleum. During the Kangxi period, I don’t know whether it was due to concerns about the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng (Empress Xiaozhuangwen) and Empress Xiaohuizhang, but Emperor Kangxi held the ceremony on the birthday of Empress Xiaoxian (Concubine Dong E). No envoys were sent to pay homage to the mausoleum on the festival day.
• In the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, Empress Dowager Renxian died at the age of 77.

Fortieth Birthday

• On the third day of October in the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680), it was Xiaohui's 40th birthday.

• In the afternoon, Emperor Kangxi first went to his grandmother's palace to say hello, and then took the 7-year-old Crown Prince Yinreng to the Emperor's Niang Palace to say hello.
• In the past, whenever the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang’s birthday was celebrated, Emperor Kangxi would also manage affairs as usual. This not only showed that the relationship between Emperor Kangxi and his aunt was deepening, but also impressed the civil and military officials of the court deeply on this matter. This action of the emperor also set an example of filial piety and righteousness for the fourth generation of the royal family.

Yinyou fell ill

• In the forty-sixth year of Kangxi (1707), the 28-year-old Yinyou, the 7th son of Emperor Kangxi, lived in Nanyuan for recuperation due to illness. Other princes had to petition and obtain the approval of the emperor. visitation.
• Once, Emperor Kangxi wrote on the wrists of the princes reporting the seventh elder brother's condition: "Don't report anything about the seventh elder brother to the Empress Dowager. Just say that he has recovered a little, and that's all."

Moved to the New Palace

• At the beginning of November of the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi (1689), Emperor Kangxi told the bachelor, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and others: "Because the Empress Dowager has lived in the old Ningshou Palace for many years, I have specially built a new palace, which is more grand than the old one. It is now completed.
• The Empress Dowager should be respectfully moved to the palace.
• Please inform the Qin Tian Jian to choose the auspicious time. The Ministry of Rites will carefully consider the ceremony. "
• On the afternoon of the fourth day of December, "the ceremony will be completed." , Emperor Kangxi led the princes, ministers, guards, etc. to salute, and the Empress Dowager moved to Ningshou New Palace.
• When the Empress Dowager moved, Emperor Kangxi personally picked her up. The ceremony was so solemn, which also showed the position of Xiaohui in Emperor Kangxi's mind.

Deposing the Crown Prince

• The incident of deposing the Crown Prince had a very small physical and mental impact on Emperor Kangxi. He even fell into pain for a time and could not extricate himself.
• While thinking hard countless times, he naturally thought of the father-son relationship between himself and the Crown Prince Yinreng, and the mother-son relationship between himself and the Queen Mother. He compared them with each other and was filled with emotion.
• Emperor Kangxi told the Empress Dowager his feelings. Xiaohui was very sympathetic and understood Emperor Kangxi's difficulties at the time, and deliberately followed Emperor Kangxi's thoughts. This gave Kangxi, who was in trouble at the time, spiritual comfort and also He found a basis for the restoration of Yinfeng that had sprouted in his heart.
• Later, when Emperor Kangxi explained to all the princes and ministers his idea of ​​restoring Yinreng, he talked about his conversation with the Empress Dowager. In fact, Xiaohui's statement not only balanced Emperor Kangxi's heart, but also prompted him to make the decision to reinstate Yinreng.

Seventieth Birthday

• The second year after the restoration of Crown Prince Yinreng, it coincided with Xiaohui's seventieth birthday.

According to "Records of the Holy Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty", on the 16th day of the first lunar month of the 49th year of Kangxi's reign, a grand banquet was held in the Ningshou Palace to pay tribute to the foreign vassals, Baylor, Beizi , Ehuang, Gong, Taiji who came to Beijing to pay tribute. gathered together with all the princes, ministers, guards, Fujin, his wife, and his wife. Emperor Kangxi danced the python-style dance of Manchu in front of the throne of the Empress Dowager to the beat of the music, and frequently wished her birthday. Emperor Kangxi's move to dance for his aunt's mother's birthday was truly rare in China's thousands of years of feudal emperor history.

• On the tenth day of March that year, Emperor Kangxi invited the Empress Dowager to have a meal at Changyuan Yawanzhai and enjoy the plum blossoms.

Mother and son accompany each other, drinking tea and chatting happily. Emperor Kangxi, who was very popular in poetry, recited a poem: "Back then, plum blossoms and snow accompanied me, but this year, late spring is late.The new leaves of ginkgo bloom, and the green branches of magnolia cover. Flowers bloom beside the pavilion, and their fragrance moves with the rain. In the other hall, there is fresh honey, and Ruizhi is offered in Shangfang. The old man comes to dance on his knees, and the pearls and grass reach Xianchi. I would like to express my best wishes to Qiao Song and admire the Queen Mother’s ceremony. Holding a glass of wine and saying longevity words, drinking wine and saying good-bye. The ground is moist and covered with red calyx, and the waves are clear and gather in the jade pool. The peaks are refreshing and the trees are beautiful. The omission turns to urge Chen and a half, and the expression is close to the painting. On the day of celebrating the same family, don’t miss the right time for filial piety. We will celebrate and think about the meaning of the scriptures, and hang on to the ancient teachings of the ages. "After Yinreng was reestablished as the crown prince, he showed no intention of repentance and continued to act arbitrarily and form cliques for personal gain.

• Emperor Kangxi deposed him for the second time in September of the 51st year of Kangxi.
• Kangxi informed Xiaohui of this matter in advance , intentionally showing his trust and respect for her.

Rehe Summer Resort

• When Xiaozhuang was still alive, the Rehe Mountain Resort had not yet been built, so Emperor Kangxi could not let his grandmother Xiaozhuang come to this beautiful place to spend the summer, leaving him with lifelong regrets.
• What Emperor Kangxi failed to do for his grandmother finally came true.
• Until eight years before Xiaohui's death, Emperor Kangxi would send the Empress Dowager to Jehol every time for summer vacation. He left the capital with his aunt, and when he was halfway there, he led some of the princes and ministers to go ahead and make all preparations for his aunt's arrival.
• When Xiaohui arrived, he led the princes and ministers to go out to greet her

.

This was the first time Xiaohui set foot on his hometown after leaving his hometown for more than 40 years. In early August, they first arrived. Arriving in the Mongolian region of Karaqin, she stayed at the residence of the fifth daughter of Emperor Kangxi and Princess Duanjing of Heshuo. In early September, the Empress Dowager Xiaohui came to the Horqin Grassland, her birthplace, and stayed at the residence of Princess Horqin and Princess Chunxi. This daughter was the eldest daughter of Kangxi's half-brother Chang Ning. On the 29th of Kangxi's reign, she married Horqintai Jibandi.

• During the Horqin period, all Mongolian princes came to pay homage, including Wengniute, Aohan, Naiman, and others. Emperor Kangxi not only "rewarded those who came to court with platinum colored satin", but also gave them a grand banquet. The scene can be evidenced by the poem "To the Horqin Tribe and the Mongolian Banquet" (Gorqin refers to Horqin): "The big wild branches are yellow, and the long feast is borrowed from the yellow sand. Under the anointing, the tribes are in the mountains. French wine makes people drunk, and there are many feasts on vertebrae . They are all women and children, and thousands of tents are moving and singing joyfully. "On the grassland, the noble and gorgeous Huangmei, including the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the newly decorated yurts of Mongolian princes and ministers were set up. The long banquet table was filled with fine wine, fragrant meat, and old and young women and children gathered together, singing, dancing, and laughing. , resounded throughout the grassland.

"At this time, Xiaohui was very weak and could no longer speak. She held the hand of the emperor Kangxi with one hand and looked at him for a long time.

  • The past is vivid, things have passed away, and Emperor Kangxi was overwhelmed with grief. Before he started reading the memorial text, he burst into tears. After reading the memorial text, he was still sobbing.
  • After the death of Empress Dowager Renxian, the ministers initially made the mistake of not using the posthumous title of the ancestor, which was strongly criticized by Emperor Kangxi. The ministers gave the posthumous title for the second time without the emblem of their lifetime. Emperor Qianlong added a posthumous title. The full posthumous title is: Xiao Hui Ren Xian Duan Yi Ci Shu Gong An Chun De Shun Tian Yi Shengzhang Queen.

  • Emperor Kangxi had this aunt three months after he was born, and it was not until five years before his death that he said goodbye to his aunt.
  • During Emperor Kangxi's 62-year career as emperor, his aunt was still alive for a total of 57 years, which is also rare at home and abroad.

  They lived in harmony and had deep feelings. Emperor Kangxi sincerely lamented, "At this time, there are only people who respect me and no one who loves me." This shows that although Emperor Kangxi was nearly seventy years old and had many children and grandchildren, he still had many children. Still longing to be sincerely cared for and loved by others, Xiaohui, as the legitimate mother, showed care and love to the emperor that no one else around Emperor Kangxi, including the concubines, could give. Therefore, the death of his aunt left an irreparable gap in the last five years of Emperor Kangxi's life.

  

  model

  • Empress Xiao Huizhang was the step-empress of Emperor Shunzhi. When she came to the Forbidden City, she was less than 14 years old, 13 years older than Xuan Ye (Emperor Kangxi).
  • When Emperor Kangxi was ten years old, his mother Tong Jia died of illness. In addition to his grandmother, Empress Xiaozhuangwen, Xuan Ye's aunt, Empress Xiaohuizhang, was naturally also particularly important.
  • Empress Xiaohuizhang has always been deeply grateful to Empress Xiaozhuangwen, which deepened the deep relationship between them.
  • Later, although Empress Xiaohuizhang became the empress dowager, she was extremely filial to Empress Xiaozhuangwen no matter where she was. Even after Emperor Yongzheng came to the throne, he cited the example of Empress Xiaohuizhang to ask all the emperors. The mother-in-law treated her biological mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaogong, just as she usually treated Empress Xiaozhuangwen.
  • Queen Xiao Huizhang spent 64 years in the palace during her 77-year-old life.
  • Although she lives in a deep palace, she does not interfere in the political affairs of the court.
  • Emperor Kangxi paid a visit to Emperor Shunzhi's mausoleum in the honor of his grandmother, Queen Xiaozhuangwen, and his aunt, Queen Xiaohuizhang. Queen Hesheli accompanied him. In the history of the Qing Dynasty , the Qing Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress paid a visit to the mausoleum together. This was the first time, and it would never happen again. This was the only time.

  This fully demonstrates the deep feelings between their three generations of grandparents, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This reflects their harmonious coexistence and impresses the world. The intimacy and harmony between the three generations of empresses including Empress Dowager Xiaozhuangwen, Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang and Empress Hesheli was also a model in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

  Character evaluation

  • The death of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had a profound impact on the relationship between Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager Xiaohui.
  • Among the many family members of Emperor Kangxi, none suffered more from the death of the Empress Dowager than he and his aunt Xiaohui.
  • Xiaohui stayed in front of her mother-in-law's Zi Palace in Xiaozhuang day and night, unwilling to leave.
  • Emperor Kangxi said to the ministers: "The Empress Dowager is weak in nature. The recent one is the Empress Dowager who is seriously ill. She serves her day and night, and her appearance has become thinner.
  • And because the Empress Dowager is a guest, she is very sad and does not leave Zi Palace day and night, eating and drinking. If you don't resist, you will become even weaker. The most honorable person today is the Empress Dowager. I see that the Empress Dowager is kind and weak, so I try to comfort her.
  • All the kings and ministers are close relatives, so I should advise you together. When the princesses, princesses, etc. were mourning, the empress dowager was wailing for all to see, but no one came forward to comfort her. It has been three days now.
  • If you are indifferent now, you will not be able to do so in the future. Are you shy?" These words showed that Emperor Kangxi cared more about his aunt.
  • After Xiaozhuang's death, Emperor Kangxi had no water for several days. The ministers repeatedly petitioned him to "temporarily leave the funeral" and "take less rest", but to no avail.
  • Xiaohui, who was also at the wake, was also worried about the emperor's health. She knew that it was impossible to let the emperor leave at this time, so she repeatedly persuaded him to eat something.
  • Emperor Kangxi understood his aunt's intention, "If you don't sip a little, you can't swallow it."
  • At this time, Xiaohui became the only elder respected by Emperor Kangxi.

  "Records of the Holy Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty" records that during the period when the crown prince was deposed, Emperor Kangxi Accusing the emperor's eldest son Yinzhen, he said: "The eldest brother (Yinxin) behaves very violently and shamelessly. He does not care about his parents and brothers. He kills and harms others without any scruples and acts arbitrarily. I am in the palace, what can I do? If I am out of town, I might take an unworthy eunuch with me and claim that the Queen Mother (Xiao Hui) has a decree, or that my secret decree is to kill people and act arrogantly. All the brothers are brothers. If they claim to have a decree, who dares to stop it will be very important. "This shows that after Empress Xiaozhuangwen, Xiaohui was highly respected in the palace. Her edicts can be compared with the emperor's edicts and have irresistible deterrence.
