In feudal society, the distinction between men and women is always particularly obvious. This is true for ordinary people's families, and even more so for the royal family who has the throne to inherit.
In the royal family, the emperor is respected. From the dragon throne to the dragon robe, and all kinds of dragon patterns, these are the most noble symbols, they are all the exclusive enjoyment of the emperor, and even the prince does not deserve it.
, let alone women. Since ancient times, only , Wu Zetian, , has this strength and privilege. He once wore a dragon robe when he was alive.
However, in 1972, an ancient tomb was discovered. The owner of the tomb was a woman, and the body was well preserved. But what was even more shocking was that this man was actually in a dragon robe, and the burial objects in this tomb were all rare treasures, worth at least hundreds of millions of yuan.
You should know that people other than the emperor are wearing dragon robes, which is a rebellious person. Who dares to be so bold? Experts conducted some research on this person and finally concluded that the owner of the tomb is the daughter of Kangxi who is very favored.
The reason why her tomb dares to be so luxurious is not that she is extravagant, but because it was rewarded by an imperial edict issued by Kangxi when he was alive, which shows how favored she is.
The Qing princess who married far away from Mongolia
Emperor Kangxi, as the longest-reigning emperor, in his life, in addition to his dazzling political achievements, he also had many descendants, with 20 daughters alone.
However, in that era, due to the incomplete development of medical technology, newborn children had weak resistance, which greatly increased the rate of premature death of young children.
Even Emperor Kangxi's children could not escape such a fate. Even if they were born in the palace and were treated with high-level care, they could still die for various reasons.
And Kangxi's first few children had no long life and had left this world before they could even get sensible. This made Kangxi look forward to his offspring.
Finally, in the twelfth year of Kangxi, he welcomed his third daughter, Princess Rongxian.
Princess Rongxian's biological mother Person Rong Before giving birth to her, Kangxi had given birth to two sons. The eldest son died before the age of three, and the second son has always been weak and sickly at a young age. She is not less than Kangxi's desire for the child.
The arrival of Princess Rongxian was a huge surprise for Concubine Rong and Kangxi.
Although Kangxi later had many children, the child who was first held the most anticipated was still very favored.
It is said that the royal harem is full of intrigue, and whether it is children or adults, they are always living in calculations.
Ke Princess Rongxian relied on Emperor Kangxi's favor for her and the constant favor of her mother Rong Concubine. Her childhood was carefree and she had never been infected by the calculations in the harem.
And Princess Rongxian is a very smart child. She did not rely on her parents' love and became arrogant. Instead, she grew up to be a kind and gentle woman.
But no matter how favored he is, as the daughter of the royal family, he cannot avoid the need to make some sacrifices for the royal family. The most common sacrifice is marriage.
Princess Rongxian was betrothed by Emperor Kangxi at the age of 19 to the great-grandson of Huang Taiji , Urgon , and wanted to marry her from the prosperous capital to the distant Mongolia.
Mongolian tribe where Urgon is located, the living environment there is a world of difference between the natural environment, customs, water and soil, and the living conditions they enjoy.
Even though Kangxi couldn't bear it at that time, he could only make this decision for the sake of family and country interests. Although Rong Xian was unwilling to accept his wishes, he could understand his father's thoughts. Since he was unable to resist, he could only accept his fate.
has already made the worst plan, but fortunately, Urgon is upright and responsible, and is also very good to Rong Xian. He did not regard Rong Xian as a pawn sent by the Qing Dynasty to marry, but truly regards her as his wife.
is in a high position and takes on heavy responsibilities
Princess Rongxian's son-in-law Urgon is also a great figure with great military achievements and wisdom and courage in the Wulin tribe.
When Bahrain King Eqier passed away, many people thought that even though Urgon was the second, he was still the most suitable person to inherit the throne of Bahrain .
But Prince Eqier did not leave any unanimous summons. Logically speaking, it should be to establish the legitimate to establish the eldest son. If Urgon takes office, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the grassland.
This major event of the Bahrain Ministry was helped by the joint efforts of Urgon and Rong Xian to help Ezier's eldest son Namdege take the throne. Moreover, the relationship between their brothers can still be the same, and there is no mutual support from each other without estrangement. This is rare.
After this incident, Rong Xian has also been recognized by many people. As he came to the grassland for a long time, Rong Xian has adapted to life on the grassland and fell in love with the feeling of freedom on the grassland.
Gradually, she became a virtuous assistant to Urgon and could also help Urgon handle some things. When Urgon was leading troops outside to fight, Rong Xian took charge of major and minor affairs at home.
Later, Urgon still took up the throne, but shortly after he inherited the throne, he had been stationed abroad and could only return to the Bahrain tribe occasionally. Rong Xian spent less and less time with him, but the relationship and tacit understanding between the two of them increased.
However, Urgon has been busy outside and has little experience to take into account the rule and management of the Bahrain Ministry, so Princess Rongxian took the initiative to assume the responsibility of managing the Bahrain Ministry.
To become the actual ruler of a movie, what Rong Xian needs to do is to be more thorough and rigorous. She devoted most of her thoughts to the Bahrain tribe.
But even with such great power, Princess Rongxian is not happy.
The little princess who was once sheltered by Kangxi is no longer as comfortable and freedom as she used to be. She is bound by various affairs. In order not to let down the people of the Bahrain Ministry, she worked hard all day long.
In Bahrain, under her jurisdiction, the public security and economy are developing in a positive direction, and the people of Bahrain are full of gratitude to her.
Leave filial piety in the capital and leave her life in Bahrain
She missed the time she had been in the capital, missing her father and mother, but she could only express her longing by letters.
Fortunately, Kangxi has not forgotten her yet. Kangxi went to Bahrain to visit Rong Xian four times. Such treatment was not enjoyed by other princesses.
This made Rong Xian very grateful. He also built a palace for Kangxi in Bahrain, which is also the only emperor palace in the history of northern Xinjiang in my country.
Until the 48th year of Kangxi, Rong Xian, who had been married for nearly twenty years, finally had the opportunity to return to Beijing. Kangxi was seriously ill at that time, and he was very nervous inside and outside the imperial city. As the once most beloved princess, Rong Xian, should go back to visit him.
He has been away from Beijing for so long at this time, and no matter how many intrigues there are in the palace, it has nothing to do with her. When everyone is concerned about who will get the last favor of the emperor, only Rong Xian has the purest heart to visit Kangxi.
Since she arrived in Beijing, she has been taking care of Kangxi, serving medicine, making Kangxi happy, and telling Kangxi various stories that happened during her time in Mongolia for more than a whole month.
It is precisely because of Princess Rongxian's comfort that Kangxi's mood improved a lot, and he was not disturbed by the disease and finally recovered.
It is also because of this time when we get along, Kangxi felt the warmth of the long-lost true family affection. After he recovered from his illness, he personally named Princess Rongxian as Gulun Princess Rongxian .
As a princess, who can be named "Gulun" as the title, the royal daughter is the oldest among all the princesses, but although Rong Xian is the oldest among all the princesses, he is actually the third princess. This is undoubtedly an extraordinary promotion and can be said to be a supreme glory.
But after enjoying such glory, Princess Rongxian still has to return to reality and return to Inner Mongolia. But when she went back this time, she never left Inner Mongolia again.
In the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi, Princess Rongxian's son-in-law unfortunately passed away on the way back triumphantly. This time, Rongxian had to bear the burden of the entire family, and he could only rely on himself, and there was no more of the person who could hope to return.
But it was not difficult for her to be in charge of a huge family for more than 30 years, but the one who gave her the most headache in the family was her uneasy son.
Before Urgon was there, his son could still be shocked. But without the intimidation of his father, his son would soon become more lawless.
This also made Princess Rongxian exhausted. In addition, she was getting older and her body was about to start to have various problems. Finally, seven years after the death of the prince-consort, Rongxian's life also came to an end.
After her death, her body was buried in Bahrain, a place where she lived for nearly 40 years.
The son who worried his mother back then finally grew up after her mother passed away. It took a year and a half to build a grand tomb for her mother, Princess Rongxian, and buried Princess Rongxian and Urgon together.
The princess buried in a dragon robe
Princess Gulun Rongxian passed away in 1728, and his tomb was not discovered in Inner Mongolia until 1972.
At that time, there was a construction site in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. When workers were digging down, the ground suddenly collapsed.
At first, it was just an ordinary collapse, but after a closer look, I found that the underground was like a tomb-like structure. The workers knew that this was extraordinary and immediately reported it to the relevant department.
Then some experts immediately rushed to Chifeng to excavate the tomb. When the whole picture of the tomb was regained, the area alone exceeded many of the tombs discovered at that time.
Before Inner Mongolia, many tombs were discovered, large and small, complete and incomplete. Experts have also seen big scenes, but this tomb is still beyond their understanding.
At that time, someone pointed out that the owner of the tomb must be a royal family, but although there is no exquisite decoration in this huge tomb, and there is no finer carved beams and painted columns, the structure of the tomb is obviously in the style of a palace.
is completely opposite to this appearance. There are no priceless burial objects here. According to convention, the number of burial objects also represents the status of the tomb owner. How could there be no burial objects if you can build such a grand tomb?
When everyone was puzzled, they finally found a secret room of dozens of square meters in the tomb, where there was a coffin with exquisite workmanship in the center.
After opening the coffin, when I saw the whole picture in the coffin, all the people present suddenly became quiet. Lying inside the coffin is a woman with a well-preserved appearance, just like a living person.
What the woman presented to everyone with the woman was full of dazzling jewelry. At first glance, there were rare treasures in the world. It turned out that the most valuable burial objects in this tomb were actually with the owner of the tomb.
But no matter how rare the burial objects are, they are not as amazing as the clothes worn by the tomb owner. It is actually a real dragon robe.
This dragon robe is the most orthodox bright yellow color, all woven from golden thread. The dragon pattern is also a five-clawed real dragon that the emperor only matches, rather than a four-clawed python, or as many as eight.
The dragon robe is also decorated with pearls, with more than 100,000 large and small. They are not ordinary pearls, all of which are natural sea beads of good quality.
She also wore a golden phoenix crown on her head, pearls on it, and gold jewelry on her hands, paired with various gems, and even her two braids were wrapped with jewelry decorations.
It is estimated that the dress of the tomb owner alone in this coffin is worth hundreds of millions, which shows that this person had an extraordinary status back then.
Moreover, this dragon robe is worn on a woman, and it is very well-built. It is specially customized for her. Looking at the entire feudal society, even Wu Zetian, who once stood on the throne, was unable to be buried in the dragon robe. Even the ruler of the late Qing Dynasty, Cixi , was passed down during the burial of the only improved dragon robe.
There is only one woman who can be buried in an orthodox dragon robe. Everyone became more and more curious about her identity.
However, in the tomb, there is only a stone tablet that can indicate the identity of the tomb owner. Experts brought it back and after a lot of research and recovery, and after reading historical materials, they finally confirmed that the tomb belonged to the third princess of Kangxi.
The dragon robe on the princess was also the one she ordered when Kangxi was alive, and rewarded her. It was also the special order of Kangxi to be buried in the dragon robe. After all, it was because Princess Rongxian served and next to the sickbed when Kangxi was in his life that Kangxi, who was in the cold and destitute royal family enjoyed the long-lost pure family affection.
You can think of such a filial and considerate daughter who was married to such a remote place by herself. How could Kangxi not feel sorry for her? But her artistic conception cannot change the status quo, so she can only make up for her elsewhere. This is where the princess in dragon robes can be seen by our descendants.
It took Princess Gulun Rongxian from her burial to her discovery for 240 years, but the coffin is still well preserved, which is a miracle.
Some people say she was lucky to survive the tomb robber.
But some people say that this is called good people rewarding. The princess of the Central Plains who seemed to be able to devote herself to Bahrain to death, after she left, countless Bahrain people still remember her and were also protecting her in the dark.
Just like her title "Gulun" also has the meaning of "world" and "family and country", she is truly the case. As the daughter of the royal family, her efforts are worthy of her identity.
Although some people say that marrying a princess who is married from afar is an injustice to women due to the fate of feudal society. It seems that being away from homeland means not being happy. Although many princesses who are married are really like this, Princess Gulun Rongxian is an exception.
She is happy in her life. She can accompany her parents when she was young. She is carefree in her childhood. She is pampered by her husband when she grows up. Although she is together for a long time, she has deep feelings. After the two died, they could still be buried together. I believe she would have no regrets in her life.
