Kong Sizhen and Shunzhi's gratitude and resentment

Kong Sizhen, the only Han princess in Qing Dynasty, passed Shunzhi by.

Kong Sizhen, the only Han princess in Qing Dynasty, was buried in the Princess Tomb of West Third Ring Road in Beijing today. How could the Qing royal family give it to the Han princess? This period also has historical origins.

Kong Sizhen's father, Kong Youde, was originally a soldier guarding Liaoyang in the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty fell, and in the early years of Shunzhi, it was named the Southern King. Later, he became the right-hand man of the Qing government to suppress the peasant uprising and other anti-Qing forces. In the seventh year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde led the Qing army to Guangxi, killing Qu Shi Al, a university student in Nanming Dongge who would rather die than surrender. Since then, he has been stationed in Guilin, guarding Guangxi.

In May of the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Great Western Expedition Army, that is, the remaining part of the Zhang Peasant Uprising Army, which had been active in the southwest, took part in the Northern Expedition against the Qing army. The insurgents led by Li Dingguo fought in Guangxi. Although Kong Youde still has a glimmer of hope for the arrival of reinforcements, he must prepare for the worst-in case reinforcements fall before Guilin, it is natural that he should be martyred as the Dingnan king of the Qing Dynasty, but there is no need to bury his wife and children. He must arrange things properly before Li Dingguo's army surrounds Guilin, otherwise it will be too late.

It happened in the early morning of June 29th where he and his parents went. The defeated Kong Youde called the two ladies and their children to her side. He told them that once the city was broken, he was determined to be a martyr and hoped that the two ladies could take their children out of the city for a period of time. However, the two young ladies refused to give way to each other, and finally decided that two nannies would take Kong Tingxun and Kong Sizhen with the refugees to the countryside outside the city. After fleeing outside the city, in order not to arouse others' suspicion, the two nannies each took a child to find shelter. Everyone in Guilin knows that Dingnan Wang has two teenage children, and it is really eye-catching for two nannies to take care of the two children together. In this way, Kong Sizhen and her brother were separated, forever.

The day after Kong Sizhen and his brother fled the city, Li Dingguo arrived at the gates of Guilin. On the second day of July, Li Dingguo began to attack Guilin surrounded by three floors. The fierce fighting lasted for three days and nights. Even Kong Sizhen, who was hiding in a suburban house, could clearly hear the rumble of guns and the thump of elephants hitting the city wall. Every time she hears the sound mixed with collapse, her heart shrinks into a ball ... On July 4, a thick smoke rose in Guilin, and soon a raging fire broke out. She instinctively felt that Guilin had fallen, Dingnan Wang Fu was in flames, and her parents were being swallowed up by the ruthless fire. ...

When the news reached Beijing, the emperor shunzhi was deeply shocked and ordered to leave the DPRK for "condolences". Later, Sai-jo and Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang "bite the hand that feeds them", which led to Kong Sizhen being sent to the palace and raised by the Empress Dowager. So Kong Sizhen came to Beijing from Guangxi and lived in the palace.

In the 11th year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde's coffin was transported from Guangxi to Tokyo (now Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province) for burial. According to Records of the Qing Sai-jo, the emperor shunzhi ordered that "when the car is buried to the day, one minister and one official should be left behind to welcome the drink. And let the princes below Prince Heshuo and the generals above Mailer Zhang Jing meet. " "When I went to Tokyo, I still asked the king to send it, gave 4,200 silver to the grave, and the Ministry of Industry erected a monument." Then, he sent assistant minister Engel to send Kong Sizhen another twenty-two thousand pieces of silver for her daily life. After accepting the donation, Kong Sizhen said, "My father's bones were originally ordered to be buried in Tokyo, but my brother was trapped in a thief camp, and I live here. If my father's bones are sent to Tokyo, please camp here for burial so as to take care of them. " The emperor shunzhi readily promised that Kong Youde was not only buried in the capital, but also "Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan Military, made great contributions, died a martyr to the country, gave special food, and regarded peace and harmony." From then on, Kong Sizhen became a princess of the Qing Dynasty.

The diffuse smoke has dispersed, Wang Fu in Guilin is in ruins, and the landscape under heaven has disappeared behind. Although the parents and Kong Sizhen in the coffin are close at hand, they are already friends of life and death. She remembered what her mother had said to the nanny: "If this son is in trouble, he should be a novice monk. If it doesn't work, his father will gallop north and south all his life, and there will be today. " This is for my brother, but my brother has become a prisoner, and it is her daughter who is "out of trouble". The man's "life gallop" ended like this, and so did the two mothers. My father has verbally betrothed her to the descendants of Sun Longzhi to prolong her age. In the future, she will follow Sun Yanling across the country, just like two mothers. After thinking all the way, Kong Sizhen has made proper arrangements for his future: after his parents' funeral, he will become a nun, keep company with Deng Qing's ancient Buddha, and fast and recite Buddha every day, which will not only surpass his parents' dead souls, but also keep himself safe all his life.

In fact, Kong Sizhen can't decide his own destiny. Maybe her six roots are not clean. Perhaps she is the only descendant of Kong Youde, and she is still a flag of the soldiers fighting in wyndell dichinson, Guangxi. Instead of escaping into an empty door, she was called into the palace door. Young the emperor shunzhi and his mother sourdrang dowager met Kong Sizhen. Can Kong Sizhen refuse such a mighty favor?

The emperor shunzhi, who is five years older than Kong Sizhen, is a man of temperament. From the first sight of Kong Sizhen dressed in plain clothes and alone, I felt pity. At this time, Shunzhi had just experienced the second big marriage. The first queen of the emperor shunzhi was arranged by Dourgen when he was regent. This woman is Wu Keshan's daughter and sourdrang queen's niece. Obviously, this marriage also reflects the desire of Empress Dowager Cixi to consolidate the alliance with Mongolian ministries through marriage. However, when sourdrang dowager's brother Wu Keshan sent his daughter to Beijing on the 17th day of the first month of the eighth year of Shunzhi (165 1), although the imperial clan Prince Man Dahai and others suggested that the wedding be held for the emperor in February, it was rejected by the emperor himself. Shunzhi didn't want to accept the queen who was engaged to get married when she was young, but she had no choice. She had a bad feeling before she got married

Shunzhi's resistance to marriage has something to do with Dourgen's deep hatred. Wu Keshan's daughter, the bride who is about to get married, was not recognized as a saint until August 13 of that year after it was broadcast for eight months. But as soon as the solemn memorial ceremony was over, the queen was left aside, and her beautiful face and budding years were imprisoned by the yellow tile red wall. Dourgen once hurt the little emperor's self-esteem when he was regent. Just because this marriage was arranged by Dourgen, it was enough for Shunzhi to be in the throat, and the young son of heaven vented his anger on the queen.

Although sourdrang dowager tried to adjust the tension between emperors, after three years' efforts, there was still no improvement. Unable to cope with Shunzhi, the Empress Dowager was forced to agree to "reduce the empress to a quiet princess and move to the side palace" on August 25th of Shunzhi Decade (1653).

Sourdrang dowager can agree to abolish it, but it will never sit idly by and watch the Manchu-Mongolian alliance become endangered. Under the auspices of the Queen Mother, the niece of the abandoned Wu Keshan was carried in from the Qing Dynasty. In the 11th year of Shunzhi (1654), on June 16th, that is, 13 days after Kong Sizhen went to Beijing, 14-year-old Bolzigit was canonized as the Queen of Xiao Zhang Hui. However, the second Mongolian queen failed to cross the cultural gap. For Shunzhi, the second queen was just a gift from his mother. Although he didn't like it, he had to put it there as an irresistible decoration. For Shunzhi, it is not only the result of cultural influence, but also the political need. After all, he was the emperor who entered the Central Plains, and before Kong Sizhen came to Beijing, he also "elected officials and women of the Han Dynasty as the sixth house". Shi Kefei, who gave birth to the emperor shunzhi's eldest daughter (Zaotian) and the fifth son of Emperor Changning, Tang Shi, who gave birth to the sixth son of Emperor Xiaqi (Zaotian), Wang Shi, who gave birth to the fifth daughter of the Emperor (Zaotian), and Shi Yang, who gave birth to the second daughter of the Emperor and Princess Shuogong, are all women in China. In sharp contrast, none of the six Mongolian queens in Shunzhi period gave birth, which reflects the influence of cultural background on Shunzhi's emotional world and family life.

With her mother's intuition, sourdrang dowager felt that Shunzhi had deeper and deeper feelings for Kong Sizhen. Kong Sizhen, who grew up in a military camp, was a Han Chinese, although he didn't read the scriptures systematically. Her three years' experience in Guilin gave the emperor in the Forbidden City a taste of Lingnan customs. Kong Sizhen, who is naturally intelligent, can have more topics with Shunzhi as long as he reads some poems carefully. For Kong Sizhen, the Queen Mother also observed coldly. From the heartfelt words written by Kong Sizhen Xie Enshu, "I am a grass and a tree, and I don't know heaven and earth. I always broke the first time, that is, I donated my life. " I can see that this is a grateful person.

For Shunzhi and Kong Sizhen's hazy love affair, the Queen Mother not only did not interfere, but facilitated their communication. The queen mother not only urged Kong Sizhen to recite the scriptures, but also always found reasons to send Kong Sizhen to Shunzhi's residence after Shunzhi retired from the DPRK. Especially when Shunzhi went hunting in Nanyuan, Kong Sizhen always accompanied him. Kong Sizhen on horseback is quite charming.

The reason why the Queen Mother intends to cultivate their feelings has its profound consideration. When the mother knows that her son is dissatisfied with the two major marriages, the only way to make up for it is to let him find a satisfactory woman to be a concubine. In the heart of Empress Dowager Cixi, there is still enough paper, that is, the son's love for his sister-in-law Dong Eshi. Her husband is Baimu Bogor, Shunzhi's half-brother, Prince Xiang. The system of maids serving empresses in turn in Qing Dynasty provided an opportunity for the princess Xiang to meet Shunzhi unexpectedly. Although Dong Eshi is a Manchu woman, she has systematically studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and she is also very proficient in calligraphy, so she can be called a confidante of Shunzhi. The queen mother heard some rumors. In order to avoid further development, on the fifth day of April in the 11th year of Shunzhi, she promulgated the law of "forbidding maids to serve", so as to "strictly control the body and put an end to suspicion", cut off the communication between the affectionate son of heaven and his sister-in-law Dong Eshi, and let their newly budding love cool down and disappear silently.

The appearance of Kong Sizhen gave Empress Dowager Cixi hope to solve the problem. As long as Kong Sizhen can ignite fiery passion in Shunzhi's heart, Dong Eshi will become history. This is indeed a matter of killing five birds with one stone: Shunzhi is emotionally satisfied, Kong Youde's orphan daughter and his wife loyal to the country can have an ideal home, Kong Youde's subordinates will have closer ties with the royal family, and his youngest son Bom Pogor's family and face will be preserved. What's more, Kong Sizhen's life experience will never affect the status of the queen Shunzhi.

It was time to uncover the pot. One day in April of the twelfth year of Shunzhi (1655), the Queen Mother deliberately started a family conversation with Kong Sizhen and asked if Kong Sizhen was engaged. Unprepared, Kong Sizhen blurted out: When my father was alive, he betrothed himself to the Ministry to prolong the age of Sun Long's descendants. The queen mother paused for a long time, then sighed and said, since you can't be my daughter-in-law, be my daughter! Kong Sizhen was stunned by the queen mother's words. When she came back, she burst into tears and explained to the Queen Mother: My father only told Sun Long verbally that the Sun family did not send a bride price. ...

Kong Sizhen and Shunzhi are predestined friends. Although men are affectionate and women are interested, sourdrang dowager has to consider the emotions of soldiers in Guangxi. When it comes to marriage, the Queen Mother always puts emotion in the second place. Although it is said that the bride price has not been sent yet, it is Kong Youde's choice after all; As for not giving the bride price, because Sun Long died and Guilin fell, it was too late. The queen mother knows the Ministry of the Southern King too well. They followed Kong Youde for decades, only knowing that Kong Shi's command was to listen. The Queen Mother also knows that her son is a "lover" and will make a big fuss about love. So she gave Kong Sizhen the title of "Gege", accepted her as an adopted daughter, let her live in the palace, and became a veritable princess. It not only satisfies the idea that they don't want to lose each other, but also restricts their relationship with the birthright of brother and sister, so that Shunzhi will always be the moon in Kong Sizhen, and Kong Sizhen will always be the flower in the mirror of Shunzhi; Not only comforted the parties, but also wooed Kong Youde's men through his affection for Kong Sizhen.

For Empress Dowager Cixi, the most difficult thing is to lose the candidate who will make Shunzhi forget Dong Eshi. Shunzhi's love affair was quietly rekindled, and finally reached the ears of Prince Baimu Bogor of Xiang. When Shunzhi learned that Dong Eshi was scolded by her husband, he gave his younger brother a slap in the face. Baimu Bogor died on the third day of July in the 13th year of Shunzhi (1656). As the widow of Prince Xiang, she was also elected to the palace. Kong Sizhen was saddened by the shocking love affair between Shunzhi and Dong Eshi, but she still wanted to live in the Forbidden City and study the art of war under the guidance of Empress Dowager Cixi, so as to remotely control the battle-hardened veterans as soon as possible, which was her only reward to her adoptive mother.
