Horqin Mongolia joined Houjin earlier and married it, which consolidated the political alliance between the two sides. In the 10th year of the mandate of heaven in the late Jin Dynasty (1625), in February, 13-year-old Bumu Butai was sent to Liaoyang, the new capital of the late Jin Dynasty, accompanied by his brother Wu Keshan, and married Huang Taiji, the eighth son of Nurhachi, who was 34 years old at that time, as the side Fujin, namely the wing. As early as 1 1 years ago, her aunt Zhezhe had married Huang Taiji as the richest man, and nine years later, in the eighth year of Tiancong (1634), Huang Taiji, who had inherited the Khan position, married her sister Hailanzhu, so her aunt and nephew were three colleagues.
After the marriage, Bumu Butai successively gave birth to three daughters for Huang Taiji. In the third year of Tiancong (1629), she gave birth to four emperors' daughters and was later named princess royal, the eternal mother of Gulun. In the sixth year of Tiancong (1632), she gave birth to five daughters, and was later named princess royal, a Gulun Shuhui; In the second year, she gave birth to seven daughters of the emperor, who were later named Princess Gu Lunduanxian. The three princesses were married to Mongolian aristocrats Bill Tahar, Sebuteng and Ken Gilg.
1636, Huang taiji changed his country name to Qing dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing (Shenyang). At the same time, the harem system was established, and five concubines were divided among many wives. Bumu Butai was named Princess Zhuang and lived in the West Second Palace-Yongfu Palace. The book awarded to her by Huang Taiji was written in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, and the word was simple: "... the daughter of Mongolian Kuerqin, Qierben Butai, got married and became a great beauty. I boarded the antique Dabao, and the book is called Princess Yongfu Palace. You are honest and simple, pure and humble, but you obey the queen's instructions and live up to my life. " Zhuang Fei's aunt Zhezhe is of course the queen of the middle palace, and her sister Hailanzhu entered the palace after Zhuang Fei and was named Chen Fei, ranking second only to the Queen of the East Palace-Guanju Palace. Two other concubines in the West Palace and Princess Shu of Yanqing in the East Palace were originally the wives of Mongolian Lidan Khan in Chahar, and Huang Taiji married them after conquering Chahar. This arrangement is mainly due to political considerations. Therefore, in the harem, Zhuang Fei's nephew status is the most prominent. Besides her sister Chen Fei, the youngest Zhuang Fei is also very popular. Especially in the first month of the third year of Chongde (1638), Chen Fei's eighth son, who was regarded as the heir by Huang Taiji, died, and Zhuang Fei gave birth to her ninth son Fu Lin in due course two days later, further enhancing her status.
The official book of Qing Dynasty said that Zhuang Fei had "assisted Tang Taizong's writing", but during the period of Tang Taizong and Huang Taiji, young Zhuang Fei was unlikely to have much political performance. Only the story of "Zhuang Fei persuaded her to surrender her territory" was widely circulated among the people, paving the way for the later saying that "the empress dowager married". It seems that this clever and beautiful empress Zhuang Fei used to use honey traps. In the seventh year of Chongde (1642), during the Song and Jin Wars in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hong Chengchou, commander-in-chief of the Ming army outside the customs, was defeated and captured, and was taken to Shengjing. Huang Taiji was eager to let Hong Chengchou defect and take advantage of it, so he sent a group of Han ministers, including Fan Wencheng, to surrender in turn. However, Hong Chengchou seems to be very determined and unmoved. He went on a hunger strike and died in prison, and Huang Taiji was at a loss. One night, the prison door was gently opened, and Zhuang Fei floated to the scene and reached into the soup. The words touched Hong Chengchou, made him come to their senses, fell at the feet of pomegranate skirt, and later made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. This story is vividly interpreted by many literary works. However, according to historical records, Hong Chengchou refused to surrender at the beginning of his capture, but was caught by Huang Taiji's ideological weakness and surrendered himself successfully.
In the eighth year of Chongde (1643 September 2 1), on the ninth day of August, Huang Taiji, who had fought all his life, died of illness. Because Huang taiji did not appoint an heir to the throne before his death, there was a power vacuum in the DPRK, which caused a chaotic situation in which kings competed for the throne. Finally, the factions reached a compromise and made Fu Lin, who was only six years old, emperor. At this time, Fu Lin's biological mother, Zhuang Fei, played an important role in the Five Empresses. On August 26th (65438+1October 8th), Fu Lin ascended the throne and changed her title to Shunzhi, and Zhuang Fei was honored as the "Empress Dowager".
Although Shunzhi was a wayward emperor, under the supervision of Xiao Zhuang, his studies in all aspects were excellent. After Xiao Zhuang came to power, he still admonished his words and deeds from time to time, which made him quite successful in politics. Unfortunately, Shunzhi died young, and Xiao Zhuang personally chose Michelle Ye, who was under eight years old, to inherit the throne. He once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting and educating the young emperor, and his position was further promoted to empress dowager. The emblem is added as "Zhao Sheng Ci Shou An Yi Dun Huiwen and Hong Jing Empress".
Xiaozhuang loves Kangxi very much. When he was young, he put him under his knees and asked his maid Ma Su Lagu to take care of him. Of course, Xiao Zhuang's education of Kangxi was also very strict. Kangxi later recalled: "When I was a toddler, I was taught by my holy grandmother. All my food, shoes and words have been trained. Although I live a quiet and lonely life, I was taught not to go off the rails, or I would be supervised. This is because of my success. " In the complicated political situation in the early years of Kangxi, Xiaozhuang balanced various relationships with his influence. In particular, instead of continuing to choose the queen from the matriarchal family Borzigit, she decided that Sony's granddaughter heseri hala was the queen, and Ao Bai, the assistant minister monopolized by Sony, reflected her politician's mind and knowledge. Kangxi's successful eradication of Ao Bai was also inseparable from Xiao Zhuang's support. Kangxi lived up to his grandmother's painstaking efforts and expectations, and soon grew into a generation of successful British masters. He is also extremely filial to Xiaozhuang, and his grandparents and grandchildren have deep feelings. Xiaozhuang lived happily in his later years.
In the 26th year of Kangxi (1688 65438+1October 27th), Xiao Zhuang died on December 25th at the age of 75. Before she died, she told Kangxi that Taizong Mountain Mausoleum had been in peace for a long time and could not make a move for me. Besides, I loathe to give up your father and son, so she chose a place to bury me near your father's Xiaoling Mausoleum. At the behest of Emperor Kangxi, five rooms in the East Palace of Cining Palace, where Xiao Zhuang lived before his death, were demolished and built at the foot of Changrui Mountain, which was called "Temporary Anfengtang" for him to rest. It was not until the third year of Yong (1725) that a cemetery was built in the original site of the temporary Anfengtang and buried in the underground palace. Because its mausoleum is located in the west of Zhao Jingling, Emperor Taizong of Shengjing, it is called "Zhao Qianling". Zhao Qianling and Zhaoling echo each other from a distance, which is actually one and two, and two and one. If it is enclosed in the feng shui wall of Dongling, it will form a barrier. Therefore, it is natural for the mausoleum to be built outside the Feng Shui wall, and there is no derogatory meaning.
