The Qing royal family is an aristocratic group that attaches great importance to blood. Whether it is the post-gold established by Nurhaci , or the Qing Dynasty after the invasion of Shanhaiguan , they have always been proud of their ancestry of Manchu and Mongolian. The concubines of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in the past dynasties, many of them are women who came out of the Mongolian tribe.
Throughout the history of the Qing Dynasty, there were a total of 12 emperors and 26 queens. Among these queens, a total of 5 queens are from Mongolia, namely: Queen Xiaozhuangwen , Queen Xiao Duanwen , Queen Shizu of Qing Dynasty, Queen Xiaohuizhang and Queen Xiaozheyi.
As to which of the five Mongolian queens has the most unfortunate fate, it is not the abolished Empress Bolzijit of the Qing Dynasty, but the Empress Arut of Xiaozheyi, the Tongzhi emperor . Empress Xiaozheyi Alute was the last Mongolian queen in Qing Dynasty, but she was born at an untimely time.
The daughter of the Mongolian champion, the third Empress Xiaozheyi who entered the palace from the Great Qing Gate
Empress Xiaozheyi of the Tongzhi Emperor's Empress Arut is a woman from the Mongolian steppe. She is Mongolian Zhenglanqi was born. His father, Chongqi, was the only Mongolian champion in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. The mother of Arut was also of noble birth. She was the daughter of Prince Zheng Duanhua. The niece of the powerful minister of the clan Aisin Gioro Sushun.
In addition to the extraordinary nobleness of her parents, her grandmother, Duanhua, Fujin, was also the aunt of Cian, the step-wife of Emperor Xianfeng. Therefore, Cian was actually also the cousin of Arut.
On the first day of the seventh lunar month in 1854 AD, Arut was born.Two years later, Emperor Xianfeng's concubine Yi (later Empress Dowager Cixi ) gave birth to the prince Zaichun, who later became Emperor Tongzhi.
When Arut was 12 years old, his father was the champion of high school, and he entered the Hanlin Academy to do the editing. Since then, Chongqi has had a high official position and status in the court. Alute followed his father to read and write since he was a child. Tang poems came when he opened his mouth, and the calligraphy was also very beautiful.
In 1872 AD, when Emperor Tongzhi was 17 years old, he should have accepted many concubines, married and raised children. On the day of the Forbidden City draft, the Empress Dowager Ci'an in the East Palace and the Empress Dowager Cixi in the West Palace together checked the draft for Emperor Tongzhi on the spot.
On that day, among the beautiful women, the Empress Dowager Cixi, the biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi, was optimistic about the beautiful daughter Fucha, while the Empress Dowager Ci'an was optimistic about the dignified and generous Arut. In the end, Emperor Tongzhi himself also took a fancy to the Alute family, so in the eleventh year of Tongzhi, the Alute family was officially canonized as the Empress of the Palace by Emperor Tongzhi, and the Fucha family was canonized as Hui Fei .
The Empress Dowager Ci'an was the empress of Emperor Xianfeng's palace, so in feudal theory, Ci'an was the first mother of Emperor Tongzhi, and this mother treated Emperor Tongzhi as her own. Empress Dowager Ci'an, as a first-mother, paid special attention to the integrity and conduct of women. She believed that only women with elegant and dignified manners could become excellent queens.
Therefore, , the empress candidate recognized by both Ci'an and Emperor Tongzhi was Arut, which made the Empress Dowager Cixi feel very unhappy secretly, and also buried the foreshadowing of palace discord..
Unliked by her mother-in-law Cixi, Empress Arut was abused because of this.
From the day of the draft, Arut was deeply loved by Emperor Tongzhi, and after the two got married, they were even more sympathetic , like glue, resulting in a deep and sincere love of husband and wife.When there was no government affairs, Emperor Tongzhi would talk about ancient and modern humanities and recite poetry with Empress Arut. When the young couple got along in private, it could be said that they were extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Ci An was also very comforted to see the new queen getting along so harmoniously with the emperor. But The Empress Dowager Cixi was not happy. Her favorite concubine Fucha was often neglected by the emperor. Therefore, Cixi relied on her own identity and chose the moment when Emperor Tongzhi and the empress got along together. to attend Cixi's palace.
When Arut accompanied Cixi, no matter what she did, Cixi would always take the opportunity to pick on faults, or give some "warnings" and targets in language. The innocent Empress Arut has an upright and unflattering nature. Therefore, this "daughter-in-law" has suffered a lot from the Empress Dowager Cixi. Because of this, the contradiction between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law has become increasingly intensified.
Queen Arut once complained in private: I was ordered by the ancestors of heaven and earth to be carried into the palace from the Great Qing Gate of the Forbidden City, and I am not someone who can be easily shaken. The words of hidden needles in cotton were quickly passed on to the ears of the Empress Dowager Cixi. After listening to it, the Empress Dowager Cixi thought that the queen was insinuating her mother-in-law's past origin and position of concubine, and she couldn't help but become angry and murderous.
Cixi intervened many times in the relationship between the emperors and queens. As Cixi's own son, Emperor Tongzhi was never good at offending his mother, so he often lived alone in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. Reduced the number of visits to the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The Emperor Tongzhi and the Empress could not live together naturally according to their inner thoughts.
Once, Emperor Tongzhi was ill in bed. Empress Arute was afraid that she would be scolded by Cixi when she went to take care of her, so she did not go to inquire and serve. Unexpectedly, Cixi blamed Arut for "the demon maid has no love between husband and wife".
Later, when Emperor Tongzhi became seriously ill and left behind pus and blood , Arut went to serve and accompany him desperately, but he was scolded by Cixi for such a move: the demon maid is still bewitching the master at this time. , must be trying to kill her husband!
Emperor Tongzhi also knew that Arut had suffered a lot from the Empress Dowager Cixi. He held on to the sick body and comforted the queen gently, saying: Don't be afraid, you just need to be patient for a while, and there will be a time to come forward.
As soon as these words fell, was heard by the Empress Dowager Cixi who had just arrived. The Empress Dowager Cixi was so furious that she grabbed the queen's hair when she entered the house, scolded and beaten it, and left the eunuch door in the courtyard. Prepare court cane , to serve the queen with cane torture. When Emperor Tongzhi saw this, he was anxious, angry, and powerless. When a fire came up, he fainted. When Cixi saw this, he finally let Arute go.
Originally, as long as the Emperor Tongzhi had the backing, the Empress Arut would still have some support, but when Emperor Tongzhi returned from his illness, Cixi immediately established Emperor Tongzhi's brother Aixin Gioro·Zaitian as Emperor, the Emperor Guangxu.
In order to better show her status as more important than the emperor, Cixi asked Guangxu Emperor to call her "Dad". As a result, the identity of the former Queen Arut was embarrassed and at a loss.
Cixi hadn't fully vented her hatred for the Arut family, so she attributed all the reasons for the early death of the Tongzhi Emperor to the Arut family. As long as things went wrong, she would bring the palace maid eunuch to Aru In Te's bedroom, they slapped and slapped Alte's face in public, but showed no mercy to Alte's.
Shortly after the funeral of Emperor Tongzhi, Arut unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant . Out of mother's nature, she wanted to keep her only bloodline with her husband.
But from Cixi's side, it doesn't matter whether the child in Arut's womb is a boy or a girl, and it doesn't matter if they can be born safely. When the emperor, the dead son, and whether there are any heirs, it is completely irrelevant to this cold-blooded and cruel dictator..
The "superfluous" Alute starved to death in Chuxiu Palace, after was buried was disemboweled by tomb thieves
Unofficial rumors, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not want Alute to give birth to an elder brother to compete with her Power, so he ordered people to cut off the food supply and starved Alute to death in the palace.
Regarding the cause of Arut's death, the Empress Dowager Cixi declared that it was because of her excessive thinking and grief. But Alute was strong and in his prime, how could he have died for no reason?
In 1875 AD, Arut, who was only 21 years old, was found dead in Chuxiu Palace. The two empress dowagers Ci'an and Cixi unanimously gave her a high evaluation, and gave her posthumous title as "Queen Xiaozheyi" according to convention, and arranged to bury Arut's remains and that of Emperor Tongzhi in the same place. Huiling.
During the Republic of China, the tombs of the Qing emperors were repeatedly looted by tomb robbers. A group of tomb robbers came to the Huiling underground palace. After entering the underground palace by means of tomb robbing, they saw that there were two coffins inside, one for Emperor Tongzhi and the other for Alute.The tomb robbers took all the valuable things in the underground palace into their pockets, and because they heard that Arut died by swallowing gold, they got into Arut's coffin and cut open her abdomen with a sharp blade. Looking for golden . After the
tomb robbery case, some daring men once entered Huiling through the open gate of the underground palace to conduct some explorations. A woman's corpse lay across a corner. The corpse's face remained intact, and the corpse showed no signs of decay, but the stomach was broken and the intestines flowed, which was very appalling.
If what the good curiosity hunter said at that time was true, then the reason why he was able to see the body of Arut was well preserved after many years was probably in line with the statement in the unofficial history: Arut was She was slowly starved to death. During the period before her death, there was no food in her stomach, so it was difficult to cause the corpse to rot and swell after death. Therefore, Arut's body is not easy to rot, and it has been preserved well after several years. .
Empress Xiaozheyi, Empress Arut, is a noble and elegant woman with knowledge of books and etiquette. She is the third queen of the Qing Dynasty to be respectfully and formally carried into the Forbidden City from the gate of Qing Dynasty. Because of his intelligence and character, he was respected and admired by the emperor.
It's a pity that good fortune has fooled people. The emperor's husband passed away at a young age, and the mother-in-law Cixi was ruthless and dictatorial. Only more than 70 days after Emperor Tongzhi returned to heaven, Empress Arute died silently in the Forbidden City and became a great master. A victim of the Qing feudal royal family.
