The tomb of Concubine Chun was opened, and a royal scandal was unexpectedly revealed. What archaeologists found inside surprised everyone.

The Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty is the largest, most complete, and most appropriately laid-out imperial mausoleum complex in my country. A total of 161 people, including five emperors, 15 queens, and 136 concubines, are buried inside. After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi and Yuan Shikai reached an agreement to pay 4 million silver every year as the salary of the forest guards. However, as time passed, Puyi, as the deposed emperor, could no longer pay the forest guards. Wages are paid, but some people still stick to Qing Dongling. Originally, guarding the tombs was a bit boring and nothing important. However, in 1928, under the pretext of military exercises, Sun Dianying led his men to dig up the tombs of Empress Cixi and Qianlong and looted all the rare treasures inside. By the time people came after them, the scene was already horrific. The bodies of Qianlong and Cixi were also damaged and randomly thrown into the drainage ditch. In this tomb theft incident, only the Qingdong Tomb and Qingyu Tomb were damaged.

But decades later, the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty were stolen again, and none of the remaining 13 tombs were spared. After the Qing Dong Tomb was stolen for the first time, Puyi and the Qing Dynasty elders paid for more forest guards. Although there were more, they still couldn't stop the hail of bullets. In 1945, Zhang Jizhong . Tang Shaoyi and others broke into the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty under the guise of fighting landlords, and spent several months excavating all 13 tombs. The scene was also very tragic. The Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty have extremely high research value, and there are countless treasures inside. In order to protect cultural relics, the state specially set up a shelter for the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, and in 1981 excavated and protected the tombs of Emperor Qianlong's concubines. The origin of Yu Ling Fei contains a queen, two imperial concubines, and five noble concubines. There are six concubines, 12 concubines, and four nobles, a total of 36 people. Among them, the archaeological experts opened the tomb of Imperial Concubine Chunhui and discovered a shocking secret inside. The secret that Qianlong tried hard to conceal was revealed by archaeologists many years later. Why is everyone so surprised when they see it? We all know that feudal society was strictly hierarchical, and the utensils in the homes of princes and ministers had specific rules, and they could not exceed the slightest, otherwise. There are suspicions of rebellion, and so are the tombs. But what is surprising is that the tomb of Princess Chunhui is far beyond the specifications that a concubine can enjoy. What on earth is going on? The Chunhui Emperor's concubine Su entered the palace as a princess when Qianlong was still a prince. Because of her gentle personality, she was quite popular with Qianlong.

In 1735, Qianlong succeeded to the throne, and as usual, it was necessary to reward the old people who followed him. Su Shi was naturally named a pure concubine. Later, because of her meritorious service in giving birth to a child, she was promoted to a pure concubine, and eight years later she was named a pure noble concubine. She was the fastest-promoted and most favored concubine among all the people around Qianlong at that time. This favor followed him until his death. After the death of Concubine Chunhui, Qianlong was very sad and posthumously named her Concubine Chunhui. Chun means pure and pure, and Huize means benevolence, virtue and virtuous. From these two words, we can see Qianlong's love for Chunfei, and not only that. In spite of the opposition from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he built the mausoleum of Concubine Chun in Zhizhi and built several rows of Minglou. This kind of regulation is not something that an imperial concubine should enjoy. Qianlong never expected that the funeral ceremony that was supposed to express Long'an would instead bring disaster to the deceased Chun Fei. The tomb robber visited her mausoleum many times, broke into her mausoleum, and took away all the valuable treasures, leaving only the coffin which seemed to be of no use.So when the experts opened the tomb of Concubine Chun, they were surprised by the scene inside. It turned out that there was an extra person in the spirituality that was supposed to be exclusive to Concubine Chun. Looking at the two coffins, one large and one small, in front of them, the large one Obviously it belongs to the owner of the tomb, Imperial Concubine Chunhui, but who does the small one inside belong to? Why was he buried with the pure concubine? After repeated research, experts finally determined that the owner of the small coffin was actually Qianlong's second queen Nala . As a queen of the dynasty, not only was she not buried next to the emperor, but was stuffed into other mausoleums. This What happened in the middle that made Qianlong humiliate his queen like this regardless of his face?

The excavation of the royal tombs of the Qing Dynasty has revealed the unknown secrets of the royal family. Why did the coffin of Qianlong's successor appear in the pure concubine? Like Concubine Chun, Murong Nala stayed with Qianlong before he succeeded to the throne, and was later named Concubine Xian. After the death of Queen Fucha, just after the mourning period, Qianlong killed the Nala family. It was the first time in the history of the Qing Dynasty that he commanded the harem for an imperial concubine and allowed his concubines to salute him. Not only that, Qianlong would take the Nala clan with him every time he went on a southern tour, ancestor worship, autumn hunting and other large-scale activities. It can be seen that the relationship between the couple is still good. So how did they get to the point where they were centrifugal?

In 1765, at the beginning of Qianlong's fourth southern tour, everything was normal. On the tenth day of February, he even celebrated Nala's birthday. But on the night of February 18, a problem arose. Since the queen had lost her hair, she was preparing to become a nun. Hair loss is an extremely unlucky thing for Manchus . Only when there is a big funeral in the family, such as the death of a parent or husband, will a woman lose her hair. Qianlong was not dead at that time. Janara was furious at this behavior and ordered someone to send him back to the palace. After the southern tour was over, Qianlong took back the toilet treasure in Nala's hands, although it was free of charge. But just like Queen Fei, Nala was relegated to the cold palace and died of depression the next year. His death did not dissuade Qianlong. Although he was buried as an imperial concubine, he had no hobbies and no gods. The funeral only cost 207 taels of silver, which was not even as good as a low-level official. Moreover, Qianlong also destroyed all his portrait records. This ruthlessness is really unimaginable. As for why Nala's hair suddenly broke off, some people speculated that the long-term repressive palace life made him depressed. Others speculated that it might be menopause. The specific reason is because there is no record of his previous life. Today's We don't know anymore. That’s it for this issue. If you like it, you can like it and follow it.
