Empress Xiao Zhuang was named as a servant, but in fact her sister Summala was originally named Su (meaning "big cloth pocket"). She was born in a poor herdsman's family. Because of her cleverness, she was elected to Baylor House in Horqin and became the personal maid of Bumu Butai, the second daughter of Baylor Zhaisan (later sourdrang queen). The two men lived together day and night, and established a friendship that transcended the relationship between master and servant. In the tenth year of destiny (A.D. 1625), Bumu Butai married the eighth son of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, as a side Fujin, and Su entered the palace as a dowry. After the death of Huang Taiji, Bumu Butai was promoted to sourdrang queen, but she was only 365,438+0 years old. Living a widowed life at a young age, my heart is very depressed. At this time, she really needed a friend who talked about everything, and Sumer became the role. In addition, the situation inside and outside the palace is very tense at this time, and Sue's concern can relax and comfort sourdrang queen. So in public, they are masters and servants, but in private, they are sisters.
Self-taught cultural knowledge, familiar with etiquette, and sewed dragon robes for the emperor many times. Summala was born in poverty in ancient times, but he was very studious. He was familiar with Manchu and Mongolian languages, and he also studied etiquette and Han costumes. In addition, she is also good at embroidery, so she participated in the design of the crown costume of the Qing Dynasty and sewed dragon robes for the emperor many times. Her design not only inherits the characteristics of traditional costumes, but also absorbs the advantages of national costumes and has a unique style. Her design later became an important development direction of Manchu costumes.
Mediation dourgen, assist Shunzhi acceded to the throne after the death of huang taiji, hogg and dourgen for the throne, almost caused the yellow and white flag. Later, Zheng Qinwang Gilhallan put forward a suggestion: neither of them should be emperors, and they should choose a prince to succeed him. For the sake of the overall situation, Haug and Dourgen reluctantly agreed, but they were all thinking about how to seize power. At this time, the candidates for the emperor were Fu Lin, the son of Empress Xiaozhuangwen, and Baimu Bogor, the eleventh son of the emperor. Baimu Bogor's mother was Bolzigit, the imperial concubine of the Book of Changes, and her status was higher than that of Xiaozhuang at that time. In order to gain the throne, Summala went to negotiate with Dourgen instead of Xiao Zhuang, and finally got the support of the other side and won the throne in one fell swoop. This achievement is one of the best in the world.
After the death of Huang Taiji, the mother and son of Empress Dowager Cixi, the young the emperor shunzhi, succeeded to the throne. Although sourdrang queen is a woman, she also has the ability to support and guide her son. But at this time, the power of state affairs is in the hands of Regent Dourgen. He stipulated that the emperor and his mother could only meet once a month to limit the power of the queen mother. At that time, Su Spicy Gu was responsible for taking care of the daily life of the little emperor Shunzhi, so she secretly helped Xiao Zhuang to secretly contact her son. In that very delicate period, the role of Su Malagu was very important, which ensured the harmony between the emperor and the queen mother.
Take care of sick Michelle Ye despite the threat of infectious diseases. In November of the 12th year of Shunzhi (AD 1655), Aisingiorro Michelle Ye was infected with smallpox. Smallpox is a nightmare, basically hopeless. Duoduo, Prince Yu, died of this disease. At that time, many people, including the emperor, went out of the palace to avoid pox, and Michelle Ye was also isolated. During this period, only Summala Gu traveled back and forth between Cining Palace and the isolation place in Michelle Ye every day, taking care of Michelle Ye as carefully as his grandmother until he recovered. Emperor Kangxi recalled in his later years, "When I was a child, Emperor Saizu Zhang shut my nanny outside the Forbidden City." This friendship was never forgotten by Emperor Kangxi.
Teaching Michelle Ye Manchu in person was his first teacher. Summala studied hard after entering Baylor House, and soon mastered Manchu. She was able to write beautiful Manchu. So when Emperor Kangxi was young, sourdrang queen chose Su Spicy Valley as his first teacher. Facts have proved that Summala Gu is a qualified teacher, who not only taught Kangxi Manchu by hand, but also taught him ignorant knowledge and the way of the world. According to "Xiao Ting Zalu Ma Su Lagu", "When the emperor was young, Lai Qi taught De and wrote credentials in calligraphy". This deep affection between teachers and students made Kangxi respect Summala in his life.
After the death of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, who raised the prince and made great contributions, menstruation, Summala was greatly hit and began to be immersed in loneliness and sadness. In order to cheer her up, Emperor Kangxi decided to entrust the twelve princes born to the ordinary princess Wan Liuha (later princess) to Summala Gu for raising. In the Qing palace, only those who have more than one title in the inner room are eligible to be promoted to the crown prince! This arrangement of Emperor Kangxi shows his attention and respect for Aunt Sumala. Ma Su Lagu also lived up to expectations and turned the Yin family into a capable and quiet prince. On the one hand, you can help your father run errands, on the other hand, you don't participate in disputes between princes. After Yong Zhengdi acceded to the throne, Yin Jia received preferential treatment. This is a great contribution of Ma Su Lagu. So after her death, Quinn personally held a wake for her.
Based on the above reasons, we can see that Summala Gu is respected because of her great contribution. What is commendable is that Summala has never been proud of himself. She always called herself a "slave" in front of Emperor Kangxi, and she also had scruples about treating others. This humble character is actually more worthy of respect than credit.
