In 1635, after the unification of Monan Mongolia, Huang Taiji cleverly designed an countermeasure to avoid Shanhaiguan, detour to Monan Mongolia, and attack the city of Beijing. Chongzhen Emperor fell into the trap, Yuan Chonghuan was executed, Huang Taiji announced that the name of the clan would be changed from Jurchen to Manchuria, and in April 1636, Huang Taiji held an enthronement ceremony in the Dazheng Hall of the Shenyang Palace, and changed the name of the country to "Great Qing" , changed to Yuan Chongde , this was an epoch-making milestone. The Qing Dynasty in Chinese history was born, and Huang Taiji became the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Emperors in ancient Chinese feudal society had harems of three thousand beauties and hordes of concubines. Among all the concubines of Huang Taiji, the most famous one was Borzigit Bumbutai from the Horqin Grassland, who was later known as the "Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang". However, Huang Taiji's favorite was not Princess Bumu Butai. The concubine who doted on the harem was actually Princess Xiaozhuang's biological sister, Princess Hailanzhu.
Hai Lanzhu was already twenty-six years old when she married Huang Taiji. At that time, Huang Taiji wanted to pacify the various Mongolian tribes and establish good alliances with them, so he married five Mongolian noble ladies and became the concubines of the Fifth Palace. . These five ladies are all Borzijit , and Hai Lanzhu is one of them. In the first year of Chongde, Hailanzhu was named Concubine Guanju, ranking second among the five palaces. Although Huang Taiji regarded Hailanzhu as his first wife, he could not do so due to zhezhe. Give her the title of queen.
Since ancient times, when you get married and have children, children are the fruit of love and the heart and soul of your parents. Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu were equally sad after losing their beloved son.
After Hai Lanzhu married Huang Taiji, she won Huang Taiji's special favor with her virtuous, dignified, generous and decent words and deeds, and Huang Taiji also fell in love with Hai Lanzhu. In the second year of Chongde, Hailanzhu gave birth to a son. Coincidentally, this child is Huang Taiji's eighth son, ranking eighth just like Huang Taiji. Originally born to his beloved concubine, and now having such a fate, the emperor was so overjoyed that he held a banquet for all the ministers in the palace, and set a precedent since the Qing Dynasty. He established the newborn baby as the emperor in the Chongzheng Palace of . heir.
However, the child unfortunately died before he could even give him a name. And just two days later, Xiaozhuang Bumbutai gave birth to the ninth prince. Although it was a happy event, the entire palace was filled with grief for losing the prince. Hai Lanzhu lost his beloved son and was so sad that he soon fell into bed and his condition became increasingly serious. As for Huang Taiji, he was equally sad. He failed to protect the son of his beloved concubine Hai Lanzhu. Seeing Hai Lanzhu fall ill, he was really sad.
As the saying goes: Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. Because of his true love, when Hai Lanzhu died unfortunately, Huang Taiji was in grief. Huang Taiji really fell in love with his beloved concubine Hai Lanzhu, and in the end he died of excessive grief because of missing Hai Lanzhu.
In the sixth year of Chongde, during the Battle of Songjin and Zhengzheng, Huang Taiji personally supervised the battle on the front line. After the news of Hai Lanzhu's illness came, Huang Taiji was "fazed by emotion" and immediately ordered to withdraw from the battlefield, galloping back to Shengjing.However, while Huang Taiji was still on the road, Hai Lanzhu passed away with regret.
My beloved concubine Hai Lanzhu, Huang Taiji couldn’t even see each other for the last time, which really broke my heart. He cried non-stop morning and night, and even fell into coma. After a whole day's efforts by the imperial doctor to save him, he came to. But at this time, Huang Taiji had long lost the heroic appearance of fighting the enemy bravely on the battlefield. But he was completely crushed by the departure of his beloved concubine Hai Lanzhu, which made him careless about military affairs and food. Some relatives were dismissed from their royal titles by Huang Taiji because they failed to observe relevant etiquette during Hai Lanzhu's funeral. From all this, it can be seen that Huang Taiji really had true feelings for Hai Lanzhu.
There was another thing that moved people later. One time, in order to ease Huang Taiji's mood, the ministers suggested that he go out hunting. Unexpectedly, they passed by Hailanzhu's cemetery on the way back. This could not help but bring back Huang Taiji's sad memories, causing him to lie prone in the sea. Lanzhu shed tears of pain on her grave.
Soon after, Huang Taiji was unwell because he missed Hai Lanzhu too much. He issued an amnesty order and reduced the handling of daily affairs. In the eighth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji became even weaker. He was still handling government affairs as usual during the day, but he suddenly died at night at the age of fifty-two.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and Hai Lanzhu became Huang Taiji's favorite concubine. After the beloved son Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu gave birth to died unfortunately, both of them fell into extreme grief. Until Hai Lanzhu's death, Huang Taiji was heartbroken, and finally passed away because he missed Hai Lanzhu too much. This shows that Huang Taiji, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was in love with Hai Lanzhu.
