Dong Jianzhong, an associate professor at the Institute of Qing History of Renmin University, said that whether Xiaozhuang married Dourgen and what kind of relationship between them is still one of the unsolved cases in the history circle, and it is also the most confusing one among the three mysteries of Qing history. There is indeed a saying of "hereditary marriage" in history of manchu. In other words, after the death of the father, the son can marry the stepmother (the biological mother can't marry); After his brother dies, he can marry his sister-in-law. It can be inferred that it is possible for Xiaozhuang to marry Dourgen. As for why marriage historians have different views, he personally disagrees with the view of marriage.
Meng, a professor of history at Jilin University, believes that it is impossible for two people to get married or even have an extramarital affair. Xiao Zhuang was the Empress Dowager of the two Dynasties, which is a historical conclusion. If Xiaozhuang later marries Dourgen, she will become a princess, she will no longer be the empress dowager, and she will have no right to assist the emperors of Shunzhi and Kangxi. In the battle for the throne in the early Qing Dynasty, Xiao Zhuang and Dourgen were political enemies in a sense, and they were unlikely to have an affair. It is said that they met when they were young, or fell in love later. Now they all lack enough historical materials to be established.
There is a problem that everyone is very concerned about, that is, the queen mother marries. Is the Queen Mother married?
Xiao Zhuang was two years younger than Dourgen, and Huang Taiji was only 32 when he died. In addition to all kinds of legends, it is generally believed that Xiaozhuang's marriage is a fact mainly based on the following three points: (1) There is such a poem in Zhang Huangyan's "Poems of Jianyi Palace": "The emperor's birthday is for peace and respect, and Cining Palace is full of rotten doors. Yesterday, the spring official entered a new instrument note to prepare for the Queen Mother's marriage. " Spring official refers to does, the queen mother said is "marriage", naturally remarried. (2) Dourgen was uncle Shunzhi, and the Qing court first called him "uncle" and later called him "father". (3) When Xiao Zhuang was seriously ill, he ordered not to be buried with his late husband, Emperor Taizong, and not to be buried in Shanhaiguan. Her reason is that Emperor Taizong has been in Fengan for a long time and cannot be disturbed by her. Later generations think that this is because she is not at ease with the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong.
Meng Sen, a scholar, refuted these three points: (1) Zhang Huangyan was a legacy of the Ming Dynasty and persisted in opposing the Qing Dynasty. He wrote poetry in the south, based on distant rumors and the spoken language of his neighbors. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not use this to render the ugliness of the new dynasty, so it is impossible to draw conclusions on this basis. (2) In ancient times, it was called "respecting father" and "Guan Zhong", both of which were honorifics for meritorious service. Dourgen's work is high, so the emperor's father is also a respectful name, not his father's father. (3) Xiao Zhuang was not the only person buried separately from the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, such as Xiao Huizhi and Shunzhi. At that time, another queen, Xiao Duan (Xiaozhuang's aunt), was buried with Emperor Taizong, so it was more difficult to be buried together.
But people who hold the opposite opinion also have reasons: (1) At this time, the Qing people have entered China, and it is necessary to lose their heads if they want to tell royal secrets. Why do people dare to have such a legend? (2) Shunzhi called Dole Zhou the emperor's father, which is different from Guan Zhong. "A Record of the Father of Qing Dynasty" records that Xiaozhuang said to his grandson Kangxi before he died: "I love your father, and I love your father, and I can't bear to leave." Although the emperor's father here refers to Shunzhi, it means that the emperor's father refers to him. Her coffin has been floating in the temporary security palace for nearly forty years. At the beginning of Dourgen's death, he was once honored as the "righteous emperor" and the temple was named Chengzong. Later, he suddenly deposed and reprimanded, and when he did it, he worshipped him again. These are special. Hu Shi thinks that the title of "imperial father" is the key, saying: "There is no evidence to research the legend of marriage, but the title of" imperial father "is a historical fact." (3) The Qing emperors were buried separately. Although there are precedents, the tombs of emperors in past dynasties were all in the "Feng Shui Wall" of the cemetery, but later Xiaozhuang was buried outside the "Feng Shui Wall". (4) In the old customs of Manchuria, it is not shameful to marry many brothers and sisters, aunts, nieces and even stepmother, and Shunzhi's grandfather, Qing Taizu Nurhachi, is one of them. At the beginning of Xiaozhuang's entry into the customs, the Chinese culture was not deep, which was acceptable from the perspective of customs, but it was later denied under the pressure of Chinese culture.
There is a book in Sichuan Normal University, Prince Regent's Lift the Pearl Prince, followed by Liu Wenxing's postscript, saying that his father had seen the imperial edict of the Queen Mother's marriage in the cabinet in the early years of Xuantong, which should be the most powerful evidence. Unfortunately, this imperial edict has not been circulated, and Liu Wenxing's postscript has also become a one-sided statement, so it is still not enough to prove that Xiaozhuang's marriage has finally become a mystery.
