Xiaozhuang's mausoleum is located outside the Feng Shui wall in the Qing Emperor's mausoleum, 6 kilometers away from the main entrance of the mausoleum! Why is Xiao Zhuang's mausoleum alone outside the mausoleum area? Is it really because she remarried to Huang taiji's younger brother, as folklore has it, that she ended up like this?
1648, Xiaozhuang married her brother-in-law, Regent Dourgen, four years after her husband's death! Manchu folk customs are rough and the population is relatively small, which has a strong sense of crisis for the continuation of racial survival! This custom that my brother died and my brother married my sister-in-law was very common at that time! Even if the queen mother marries, she should not be excluded! Xiao Zhuang, as the first empress of the Qing Dynasty, once assisted two emperors, Emperor Kangxi of Shunzhi, and her status was actually respected! Kangxi is also very filial and respectful to this grandmother. In that case, why is Xiao Zhuang's mausoleum alone outside the Feng Shui wall?
Chronicle of Changruishan records sourdrang queen's will: Taizong Zigong enjoys a long life! Don't make a move for me! Xiaozhuang himself doesn't want to be buried with Huang Taiji. She wants to be buried near her son Shunzhi's Xiaoling Mausoleum. But when she died, Xiaoling had been built for 24 years, and there was no suitable place to put the empress dowager's tomb! Yongzheng especially admired Xiaozhuang and built an independent Zhao Qianling for her after he ascended the throne! Its specifications are unique in the tombs of empresses in the Qing Dynasty. The tomb of Zhao Qianling is located on the only way for the royal ancestors to worship. Many royal ancestors started here! This is enough to prove that Xiao Zhuang still received the highest courtesy from the Qing royal family after his death!
