The last two princesses of Gulun in the Qing Dynasty, their husbands picked one in a million, but died young, and they vowed not to remarry

We once said that the average life expectancy of the 103 princes (excluding the emperor) in the Qing Dynasty was only 32 years, while the average life expectancy of the 82 princes was only 26 years. It can be seen that there are only a handful of emperors who can live a long life. What's more sad is that the emperors who are still long-lived have kept their widows at a very young age.

The daughter of the prince Feng Gulun, her husband’s tutor is well-known

As we all know, the last princess to be included in the "Manuscripts of Qing History" is the famous Prince Gong’s The eldest daughter was later Princess Gulun Rongshou. His father, Prince Gong, was named as Prince by Emperor Daoguang in his edict. This was the first case in the 268-year history of the Qing Dynasty. As the eldest daughter of Prince Gong, the title of Princess Rongshou should be the princess, but due to the favor of her aunt Cixi, she was given an exception as Princess Gulun Rongshou. The Qing Dynasty stipulated that only the daughter of a queen was eligible to be named Princess Gulun, of course this was only a rule. Outside of regulations, there are often special cases. The most obvious is that Princess Rongshou, who was born in the Prince’s House, was made an exception as Princess Gulun. As the prince’s daughter, she was named Princess Gulun. Although it was not the only case in the Qing Dynasty, Princess Gulun Rongshou was also one of the few cases. The title of Princess Gulun should not be underestimated. It is equal to the first-class title princes of the Qing Dynasty, and on the same level as the four concubines of the emperor's harem. Among the 82 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, very few of them were able to be named Princess Gulun in their entire lives. Just like the one hundred and three princes of the Qing Dynasty who can be named princes are rare. Princess Rongshou can be named Princess Gulun, which shows her high status.

In fact, in the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1861), Emperor Xianfeng just died. Prince Gong helped the mother and son of Cixi launch the Xinyou coup and cut off the eight ministers of Gu Ming headed by Sushun. At this time, in order to further consolidate the status of mother and child and obtain the support and assistance of Prince Gong, Cixi made Prince Gong the minister of political affairs, and brought Prince Gong's seven-year-old daughter Princess Rongshou into the palace to raise. Three years later, in the third year of Tongzhi (1864), the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces officially named the eldest daughter of Prince Gong as Princess Gulun. Prince Gong knew that he was a prince and his daughter was named Princess Gulun, so he was naturally flattered. After only one year, Prince Gong resolutely requested the removal of the eldest daughter "Gulun" name, and then changed her name to Princess Rongshou. In the same year, the 12-year-old Princess Rongshou was married by the Empress Dowager Cixi to Zhiduan, the son of Gulun's son Jingshou. So, why did Empress Dowager Cixi refer to Princess Rongshou to marry Gulun's son Jingshou? I have to talk about it, Princess Rongshou’s father-in-law, Gulun, Jingshou.

When I first heard the name of Gu Lun's forehead Jingshou, many people can't remember such a number one in the Qing Dynasty. But from the title in front of Jing Shou, it can be seen that Jing Shou's wife is also a princess Gulun. His wife is the sixth daughter of Emperor Daoguang, Princess Shouen Gulun. The reason why this Gulun forehead was not known to future generations is because he did not do much in the political arena of the Qing Dynasty. The only remarkable thing is that he was one of the eight ministers of Gu Ming appointed by Emperor Xianfeng. Xianfeng knew that his brother-in-law Jingshou was not too capable in politics, but because he trusted him, he appointed him as one of the ministers of Gu Ming.

Because of Jing Shou's limited political ability, he is not a central figure among the eight ministers, so he can only follow Sushun's mercy. Because Xianfeng trusted his brother-in-law Jingshou to designate him as one of the eight ministers, but he also caused his brother-in-law to get into trouble. Gu ordered the eight ministers to lose ground in the political confrontation with Cixi and Prince Gong. Sushun was beheaded at Caishikou outside Xuanwumen, and the two iron hat kings were given a white silk and hanged. The others were either demoted or exiled. Naturally, Jing Shou, one of the eight ministers, was also to blame. However, Jing Shou was the least punished among the eight ministers. He was only removed from his official position, but he still retained the ranks of duke and emperor. Because Cixi and Prince Gong understood that Jing Shou was just a pawn of Sushun and did not pose a big threat.

Is lack of political ability and perfect character training

At the beginning, the reason why Emperor Daoguang referred to the 14-year-old sixth daughter of Shou En Gu Lun to marry Jing Shou Not to value the political ability of his son-in-law Jing Shou, but to appreciate his cultivation and character since childhood. Later, the reason why Emperor Xianfeng appointed his brother-in-law Jingshou as Minister of Gu Ming, sinceOf course, he does not value his political ability, but appreciates his character. Of course, the reason why Jing Shou was able to stand alone among the eight ministers was also because of his weak political ability, but his impeccable character. Jing Shou even became the most perfect man in Qing Dynasty.

Several times he served as the fattest errand in the country-Chongwenmen Supervisor, but he was rather clean and self-conscious, and he did not pay for his own pocket. At that time, people once said, "I don't want to seal Wanhuhou, I wish to take control of Chongwenmen." In the eyes of the times, sealing a Wanhuhou without serving as the supervisor of Chongwenmen had the face and oil. The better Jing Shou was, the emperor let him be the country's largest tax official. This fat difference is four or five times. Therefore, Jing Shou was notorious for not loving money. Weng Tonghe once commented on Jing Shou in his diary, “The tax difference of Chongwenmen is four or five times, and the poor cannot live by himself.” Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that Jingshou is too poor to live by himself, but that Jingshou has been the supervisor of Chongwenmen four or five times. It is certain that there is no fishing.

A person who serves as the country's largest tax officer, but does not love money, is already admirable. Jing Shou's self-cultivation made it difficult for his contemporaries. He has never scolded anyone in his life, never beat anyone, or blushed with his colleagues. What is even more surprising is that a servant has served him for fifteen years. During these fifteen years, he has only spoken to this servant. Jing Shou is called a strange man, with a different aspect. He can sit all day long, motionless, and often think deeply about himself. He is not good at interacting with people, likes quietness, meticulous in life, strict self-discipline, and silent food and drink.

=Jing Shou’s self-cultivation and life style has subtly affected his son Zhiduan. Zhi Duan took his father as an example since he was a child, not only gentle and gentle, but also easy to learn. With such a young man and such a tutor, Cixi naturally wanted to marry the 12-year-old Princess Rongshou to this young man. However, no luck, five years after Princess Rongshou married Zhiduan, her husband Zhiduan left without a son and a half. Princess Rongshou, who was only 17 years old, became a widow. Empress Dowager Cixi took the widowed Princess Rongshou to the palace to accompany her. A year later, Princess Rongshou was once again named Princess Gulun. In this way, Princess Gu Lun Rongshou never married and accompanied Cixi. No one would have thought that Cixi would die 28 years later. The funeral of the Lafayette was organized by Princess Gu Lun Rongshou, who had accompanied her for 28 years and was not a daughter but better than a daughter.

The nephew inherited the Datong, and the princess was sealed by Gulun

On October 25th, the seventh year of Guangxu, a Heshuo princess and the princess Rongshou together Was named Princess Gulun. This princess who was promoted to Gulun by Heshuo was the ninth daughter of Emperor Daoguang and the aunt of Emperor Guangxu, Princess Shouzhuang Gulun.

As we all know, Daoguang has nine princes and ten princes. Among them, the seven sons of the prince, the eighth son of Zhongduan County, the ninth son of Fujing County, and the ninth daughter of Shouzhuang Gulun were all born to one mother, and the mother was the imperial concubine Wuya of Zhuangshun. The harem grade was not high when the mother gave birth to her, which also affected her daughter's status. It was not until the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855) that he was named Princess Heshuo and given the name Shouzhuang, which means "Fu Shou Zhuang Zheng". At that time, Princess Shouzhuang was only thirteen years old, and she was married to Dehui by her brother Emperor Xianfeng.

Dehui, the husband of Princess Shouzhuang, belongs to Borot of Mongolia. His family was originally an ordinary bannerman of Mongolia with a yellow flag, but it was not prominent in the early Qing Dynasty. It wasn't until Dehui's fourth generation ancestor Bandi was in Kangxi that he passed the Cabinet Zhongshu as an official student and was promoted to the Cabinet Bachelor in the Yongzheng Dynasty. Especially during the Qianlong period, Pandi Qingyun went straight up and served successively as the Minister of War, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Minister of Military Aircraft. He was given the title of First Class Honesty and Yong Gong for his merits in conquering Junggar. Since he was knighted for merit, his descendants can inherit the first-class Duke of Chengyong. With the title, there is status, and with status, the family will naturally become prominent. Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng was able to marry his younger sister, Princess Shouzhuang, to Dehui, who was just Mongolia's idle status at the time. At that time, Princess Gulun of Shouzhuang was only the title of Princess Heshuo, so Dehui was also named Heshuo.

Tongzhi 2nd year (1863), 21 years oldPrincess Zhuang Shou married Dehui. Princess Shouzhuang is beautiful and beautiful since she was a child, and she is talented and intelligent. Her husband, Dehui, is suave and talented, and has been an excellent tutor since childhood. Therefore, the combination of the two was called a talented couple at the time. However, the day is not fake. Only fourteen months after the couple got married, Ehu Dehui died of illness. Since then, the 22-year-old Princess Shouzhuang began to live a widowed life. Although the time spent with her husband Dehui is only 14 months, their love is deep. After the death of her husband. Princess Shouzhuang chose not to remarry for life.

Later, in the seventh year (1881) that his nephew Guangxu inherited Datong, Princess Heshuo Shouzhuang was promoted to Princess Shouzhuang Gulun, and her niece was promoted to Princess Gulun with her Princess Rongshou. These were also the last two Gulun princesses of the Qing Dynasty. Three years later, the 43-year-old Princess Gulun, Shou Zhuang, finished her life and reunited with her husband in another world. On the second day of the death of Princess Gulun of Shouzhuang, Emperor Guangxu, his nephew, issued an order, saying that she "served the emperor with filial piety, benevolent, gentle and gentle", and went to give it in person. Empress Dowager Cixi also went to give it in person.

Princess Shou Zhuang Gu Lun and Princess Rong Shou Gu Lun, in terms of title and status, the two princesses have reached the peak, which is enviable, but in marriage, the two princesses are both People are embarrassed. Although their foreheads are men who are only one in a million, they left prematurely because of luck. Princess Shou Zhuang Gu Lun lived a widowed life at the age of 22, and Princess Rong Shou Gu Lun began to be widowed at the age of 17. The two Gulun princesses have a deep affection for their husbands. After their husbands left, they both chose not to marry for their entire lives.
