In the early Qing Dynasty, this little-known palace change was written on the verdict of Jia Yuanchun: There was a bow on the painting, and citron was hung on the bow. There is a lyric next to it:
I have been distinguishing right from wrong for twenty years, and the pomegranate flower has bloomed to illuminate the palace.
The three springs compete for the first spring scene, the tiger and the rabbit meet and return to the big dream. The citron on the sentence
represents the human head. Jia Yuanchun's head hung on the bowstring. The time when this palace change occurred: 1626, the turn of the Year of the Tiger and the Year of the Rabbit. The final result of the incident: Jia Yuanchun, the empress of the Qing Dynasty, was hanged to death.
This was a palace seizure of power that even the history of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to record. Counting on one's fingers, it has been nearly four hundred years ago. But the whole scene was thrilling and still vivid in my mind.
In the first month of 1626, Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty Nurhachi led his troops to besiege Ningyuan City. As a result, he was seriously injured and had to retreat. In August, Nurhaci's condition worsened, and Nurhachi knew that his time had come, so he ordered people to ask Dafu Jin Abahai to discuss the funeral arrangements. This Abahai is the mother of Dorgon, the fourth concubine of Nurhaci, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
According to the Korean historical record "Chunpa Tang Riyuelu", before his death, Nurhachi ordered his youngest son Dorgon to inherit the throne of Khan and Daishan to serve as regent. On August 11, Nurhachi, a powerful hero of the generation, passed away in Kuojibao, forty miles away from Shenyang, at the age of 68.
As a result, at midnight the next day, an appalling scene happened. The concubine Abahai was forced by the ruling Huang Taiji and several big beile, and was forced to hang herself from the beam because of Nurhachi's last order: "After my death, she must be buried." This matter can be found in the official "Records of Emperor Taizu Wu" of the Qing Dynasty.
However, regarding this period of history, the 16-episode TV series "Nurhachi" filmed by CCTV in 1986 had the following description in the finale: On that day, Abahai conveyed to Huang Taiji and others Nurhachi's last order that "Dorgon will succeed to the throne of Khan." As a result, Huang Taiji fought for the throne and actually falsely reported that Nurhachi had ordered that "she must be buried after I die", forcing Abahai to be buried as a sacrifice. Abahai decided to sacrifice himself in order to take care of the overall situation and avoid division within the Jurchens. She asked Huang Taiji to make an oath to raise his young brothers, but she was hanged to death with a bowstring.
So, who can tell the truth whether Abahai committed suicide by hanging from a beam or by a bowstring? We might as well first take a look at who Jia Yuanchun is?
Qing history expert Zhang Shucai of China's First Historical Archives believes that Jia Yuanchun is the imperial concubine based on the "Cranked Seven Phoenix Golden Umbrella". Actually this is wrong. Because Jia Yuanchun was also known as "Concubine Yuan", in ancient times only the wives of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could be called "Concubine Yuan", that is, the "Queen" in later generations, so Jia Yuanchun was the empress.
In addition, on the day of Jia Zheng's birthday, Yuanchun was granted the title of Shangshu of Fengzao Palace by the Jin Dynasty. Many people are confused about "Fengzao Palace Minister". In fact, "Fengzao Palace" refers to the emperor's harem, and "Shang Shu" refers to the top leader of the department. Therefore, "Fengzao Palace Minister" also indisputably implies that Jia Yuanchun is the number one in the harem, that is, the empress!
There were only a handful of emperors and empresses in the entire Qing Dynasty, and their names were all recorded.
In the eighteenth chapter of " A Dream of Red Mansions ", there is another article pointing out: "The death of Concubine Fu Yuan in "The Palace of Eternal Life"."
"The Palace of Eternal Life" tells the story of Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty who was hanged to death by the rebel army in Maweiyi. According to "Zizhi Tongjian" records: "Tang Xuanzong ordered the eunuch Gao Lishi to take Concubine Yang to the Buddhist hall and hang herself to death." It can be seen that Jia Yuanchun was hanged to death. From this we can know that Jia Yuanchun's character prototype is none other than Queen Xiaoliewu Abahai!
1626, Huang Taiji ascended the throne in Shenyang as Taizong of the Qing Dynasty. This year happened to be the Bingyin year of the lunar calendar, which was the Year of the Tiger. The next year, 1627, was the first year of the Qing Dynasty ( Houjin ) Tiancong . It was the year of Ding Mao in the lunar calendar, which was the year of the rabbit.
"The tiger and the rabbit meet and return with great dreams." At the turn of the Year of the Tiger and the Year of the Rabbit, Empress Abahai of Xiaoliewu became a victim of the struggle for power in the palace and was hanged to death by Huang Taiji.
20 years later, Dorgon, who became the regent, overturned the case of his mother, Queen Abahai, and moved her tablet into the Ancestral Temple. However, the good times did not last long. After Dorgon's death, someone revealed that Dorgon had made eight-patch yellow robes and other items during his lifetime. Emperor Shunzhi deprived Dorgon of his title and dug up his grave and whipped his corpse.
So Dorgon became the troubled "Prince Yizhong and Old Chitose" in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Of course, this is a story for another day.
Zhiyanzhai said: "All unofficial history can be destroyed, but this book alone cannot be destroyed" and "It is a great sin for readers to read novels based on ancient words." "A Dream of Red Mansions" has been misunderstood by everyone for hundreds of years. In fact, it is not a novel at all, but a secret history of the Qing Dynasty.
