Four Mysteries in Qing Dynasty

The so-called "Four Mysteries of Qing Palace" refer to "The Queen Mother got married", "Shunzhi became a monk", "Yongzheng was stabbed" and "Cats and cats were exchanged for princes". Here is a simple introduction and answer to these four mysteries. First, the Queen Mother Xiao Zhuang married the Queen Mother Regent. Empress Dowager refers to the princess of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, the biological mother of Fu Lin, who died in Kangxi. Regent refers to Regent Dourgen. Sourdrang queen is Dourgen's brother and sister-in-law. According to the moral concept of the Han people, this is too disgraceful and uncivilized. In the Qing dynasty, writing records was a taboo. However, Cang Shui Shi Hua, published only in the late Qing Dynasty, has a saying that "longevity is called marriage". Yesterday, a new instrument was put into the spring palace, and a gift was given to the queen mother to marry ",which refers to the marriage of the queen mother. Huang Zhang, a poet, said that he was from the early Qing Dynasty, and at the same time said that he had something to do with it. According to the records of North Korea's Li Dynasty, Ren Yin was in February of the 27th year of Renzu (1649, the 6th year of Qing Shunzhi), and there was also a saying that "Tai Shang Huang was a doer of regent", which indirectly revealed Dourgen's statement that Tai Shang Huang was "too superior" to the Empress Dowager, and it was circumstantial evidence that the Empress Dowager got married. Moreover, Dourgen's name was changed to "the Emperor's Father", which was clearly recorded not only in the Records of the Qing Dynasty and the Records of Donghua by Jiang, but also in many files and proclamations that have been handed down to this day, and was carried to the emperor and the regent together. Or the word "emperor's father". Let's not forget another fact: although the social nature of Manchuria had rapidly changed from slavery to feudalism before entering the customs, it's not surprising that Nuzhen's backward customs, such as the remnants of some brothers' wives, wives and granddaughters-in-law, continued until the early days of entering the customs. So, it is true that Empress Dowager Cixi got married. Shunzhi became a monk in the 17th year (1660). On August 19th, the imperial concubine Dong Eshi mourned for Fu Lin, the sai-jo who retired for five days. Immediately, she got an imperial edict to make her a queen. Dong Eshi is just an imperial concubine. Why did she add posthumous title and make her queen? Someone falsely claimed that this concubine was Dong Xiaowan, a lucky man who ventured across the border in the late Ming Dynasty. When the Qing army entered the customs, she was plundered to the capital, then entered the palace, was given the surname of Dong Eshi, and was later named the imperial concubine. Unexpectedly, after Dong Shi entered the palace, he didn't live long before he died. But Sai-jo was loved by Dong Guifei, which made her unhappy all day. First of all, we must admit that Fu Lin, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, was a good Buddha. There were Mu Chen in the palace, as well as Zen masters Wang Xiuer and Yu Lin, and they all respected him very much. The seal of our ancestors is entitled "Dust-Hidden Taoist", "Lazy Weng" and "Crazy Taoist", which reads "I hope the old monk will not treat me like a disciple of buddhist nun". It is a fact that our ancestors believed in Buddhism. Be lamented by the world. Therefore, some people think that Sai-jo was tired of the world because of mourning, and finally escaped from the dust net and escaped into an empty net. Since then, "Love the Son of Heaven through the ages" has become a much-told story. This is inconsistent with historical facts. Yes, because sai-jo was a good Buddha, he did have the idea of asking Zhu to become a monk before his death. But in fact, a few days before his death, he just invited his favorite internal supervisor, Wu, to Benzhong Temple. According to Wenjing Wang's Chronicle of Wang Xi, "I was called to Yangxintang and heard that I had acne. "Zhang Chen's" Qing Wang Zhou Ji "also said," I told the people not to fry beans, light lamps and splash water. I know that the disease is acne. "Their records are completely consistent and can confirm each other. This clearly tells us. It's a long story, which originated from the case of Ceng Jing and Zhang Xi in the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729). Lv Liuliang, a native of Ceng Jing in the late Ming Dynasty, took it as his duty to restore his eyesight. Because he sent his disciple Zhang Xi to book Yue Zhongqi, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and advised him to speak for his ancestors (Yue Fei). If he fails, he will be imprisoned, and even Lv Liuliang Sejong will be severely punished and slaughtered. Her swordsmanship is the best among many generations, and she is determined to avenge her father and ancestors. Later, she sneaked into the palace and finally stabbed Sejong, cut off his head and escaped with it. According to E Ertai's biography, Shanmin said that on the day of Sejong's sudden collapse, she still "looked at the dynasty without pain" in the morning. That afternoon, she suddenly called E Ertai into the palace, but the outside world was noisy. A horse is not as good as a saddle, but it straddles the horse quickly, and the moustache grinds and bleeds. I have lived in the palace for three days and three nights and haven't eaten yet. " People think that the world was peaceful at that time, and Chang Jun succeeded to the throne (the Qing emperor Li Hong ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five), which was no big deal and caused such a panic. This only shows that Sejong is overwhelmed. But the reference to one of Lv Liuliang's granddaughters is a legend, not a historical fact. The date of Sejong's death is a fact, but it is said to be a violent collapse. There is no written record, just a legend. On the one hand, the romance described in E Ertai's biography is vividly written, as if it really happened. But at least in official records, such as Qing Shi Lu. And it has not been confirmed until today, and it is impossible to confirm it; Even if it is a fact that E Ertai rushed to court, it can't prove that Sejong must have been stabbed, because there is no necessary internal connection between them. Secondly, Sejong himself is a good Buddha and a good Taoist, who "made many swordsmen" and is said to be the "Thirteen Brothers". The emperor and others became brothers, not necessarily credible; However, if you are good at Buddhism and Taoism and be a swordsman, the art of alchemy and seeking immortality is acceptable. It is also possible that you swallowed Dan medicine for a long time and suddenly collapsed. Qin Huang and Han Wu all have precedents. Thirdly, it is suggested that the Tailing Mausoleum (Yin Zhen's Tomb, Sejong of Qing Dynasty) be excavated to see if Sejong has a head to prove whether he was stabbed. Later, due to excavation work. Once excavated, if we can get one or two remains, we can finalize the case, but the cost is too great and we can only wait until the future. Fourth, the legend of civet cats changing into princes comes from the Song Dynasty. It is said that Song Zhenzong has been on the throne for a long time, and he has three palaces and six courtyards, but he just can't give birth to a son. Five of them died. Later, De Liu Fei and Li Chenfei were pregnant at the same time, and Li Chenfei gave birth to the Prince ahead of schedule, but Liu Defa unexpectedly miscarried. A skinned civet cat was replaced by a prince, and Li Chenfei's son was taken for himself. There are also rumors that Chen Fei gave birth to a freak. Li Zhen believed it and punished Li. The son that Liu Defa later stole was made the Crown Prince. This crown prince is the later Song Renzong. The end result is that Li Chenfei is forced to live among the people to avoid persecution. Renzong is often troubled by his own life. It was not until Bao Zheng was born that it was possible to unveil the mystery of the palace. So Liu E, who was already the empress dowager, was scared to death alive, and Lao Bao was promoted to the University of Longtuge because he found his biological mother for Song Renzong. Later, there was a legend in the Qing palace that a civet cat was replaced by a prince. This refers to the legend that Sejong (Yongzheng) and Chen exchanged sons in the Qing Dynasty (of course, there were no civet cats). Chen, a native of Zhejiang, was born again in the late Ming Dynasty. The Chen family, such as Chen Shuo, Chen Shiguan, and other uncles and sons, are all high-ranking officials and rich, and they are arrogant and extravagant to the extreme. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Sejong was a prince and was particularly close to Chen Shiguan. It happened that the two families had a son, and the year, month, day and time were the same. Sejong was so happy when he heard that he ordered his son to be taken into the palace, and it took a long time to send him back. However, I dare not come out to discuss, so I have to keep it a secret. Later, Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty went south to Haining and went to the Chen family that day. When I went out to the middle gate, my life was closed. I told him that if it wasn't the emperor's bad luck, the door of the Chen family would be closed forever and never opened again. It is also said that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty had a great history in his own life. I want to find out the answer myself. These legends prevailed in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, the revolution was at its peak, and the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were extremely ugly and contemptuous. Rumors are true and false, so it is necessary to analyze them. The Chen family in Haining, such as Chen Shuo, Chen Shiguan, his son and uncles, are all extremely important officials. It is a fact that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty visited the Chen family in the south. According to the Qing system, this is also a fact. Do not open it again. However, due to these historical facts, it cannot be said that Sejong and Chen Shiguan in the Qing Dynasty traded women for children. In the Qing dynasty, the children of the standard-bearer had to be reported to the government of Doutong, and the children of the imperial clan had to be reported to the government of Zongren. The customization is very detailed. Besides, in the Forbidden City, access control is strict. How can you take the child out of the palace? Obviously, these were all fabricated by the Han people out of thin air during the crowded revolutionary wave in the late Qing Dynasty.
