Empress Xiaozhuang can be said to be a strange woman in the history of the Qing Dynasty. She was the wife of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. This strange woman assisted two outstanding emperors, namely Kangxi and Yongzheng, so she is deeply loved. Respected by Kangxi and Yongzheng. Xiaozhuang left a last word before his death, expressing that he did not want to be buried outside the customs and buried in the same mausoleum with Huang Taiji. It was this last word that troubled Emperor Kangxi throughout his life. Finally, thirty-eight years later, Emperor Yongzheng solved this problem. So how did Yongzheng solve it skillfully?
Before he died, Xiaozhuang said that he did not want to be buried with Huang Taiji, but wanted to protect his son Fulin and grandson Kangxi in the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Guan Nei. After all, according to the ancestral teachings of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's harem concubines must be buried with the emperor after death, especially the queen, because this can better show the queen's noble status, but this last word troubled Emperor Kangxi very much, so As a result, Xiaozhuang was not buried for thirty-eight years after his death. If Emperor Kangxi had followed the instructions of his ancestors, he would have violated Xiaozhuang's last wish. This made Emperor Kangxi unable to do it. After all, his relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was very deep.
The last wish of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang can fully show that she does not want to share the same acupuncture point with Huang Taiji after her death. Many people speculate that this is related to Xiaozhuang's marriage to Dorgon. Personally, I think the real reason is that the relationship between Xiaozhuang and Huang Taiji is not good, and because he later remarried Dorgon, he had to be buried with his ex-husband Huang Taiji after his death, so whether it is for Huang Taiji or Xiaozhuang , this is very embarrassing, that’s why I have such a last wish.
After Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he thought of a way to let the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang finally rest in peace. That is to say, in the third year of Yongzheng's reign, Yongzheng ordered an underground palace to be built at the place where the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang rested, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's cemetery was buried outside the Feng Shui wall of the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum.
