Chapter 149: Shunzhi's Deposed Empress Mengguqing 1
The original owner was the deposed empress of Shunzhi.
The Khorchin Borjigit clan, whose name was Erdeni Bumba, was also called Mengguqing.
The niece of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, Bumbutai, and the daughter of Wu Keshan.
The original owner can be said to have become a victim of the struggle between Dorgon and Shunzhi.
Under Dorgon's pressure, Shunzhi could do nothing but indulge in sensual pleasures.
His mother, Bumbutai, did this for her mother's family and also to ensure that he could get the full support of Mongolia so that he could sit firmly on the throne.
More than half of the harem were Mongolian concubines, and without exception, they all disappeared in the end.
Therefore, the incompetent and furious Emperor Shunzhi was unable to do anything to Dorgon and could only vent his anger on his mother.
In the end, he found fault with everything and made the original owner angry.
When Dorgon passed away suddenly, Shunzhi wanted the whole country to celebrate.
The former dynasty whipped the corpse and the harem deposed the queen!
He seemed to have forgotten that it was her mother who had begged and pleaded with her mother's family to marry the original owner to him.
Otherwise, his throne would be shaky.
"The empress's harem rules and regulations are of great importance, and her position is not trivial, so she has judged incompetent people. As ministers, you have made reports to gain reputation without any benefit. This is very inappropriate and I will strictly punish you."
As the king of a country, if he intends to depose the queen, he must come up with a legitimate and convincing reason.
For example, "attempting to kill her husband" and "defilement of the harem", but the first empress of Emperor Shunzhi was not charged with these crimes. Emperor Shunzhi only said that she was "incompatible with the empress" and "incompetent", and then deposed Empress Borjigit.
The Shunzhi Emperor was determined to depose the Empress, which was described in the deposed edict and the Biography of Empress Xiaoxian:
The three reasons given by Emperor Shunzhi for deposing the empress in the edict were:
First: This marriage was arranged by Prince Rui, Dorgon, and she did not choose it herself;
Second: They have not been harmonious since their wedding and have been separated for three years;
Third: The queen is not virtuous and is not capable of taking on the responsibility of commanding the harem.
The two reasons given in the Biography of Empress Xiaoxian are: First, the deposed empress was indeed beautiful, but when she saw beautiful concubines in the harem, she hated them and wanted to kill them. She would punish anyone who slept with her, and she often quarreled with me, seriously interfering with my private life;
When you hate someone, her breathing is wrong, and jealousy arises because of love.
Her jealousy was infinitely magnified by him. If she was really vicious, who was missing from the harem? Who did she touch? Which of his concubines and children died in her hands?
If we really talk about cruelty, who can compare to him? So many Manchu noble ladies were kept in captivity and died in unclear circumstances.
2: The deposed queen loved luxury. Her clothes and hats had to be adorned with pearls and gems, and her tableware had to be made of gold. She would be unhappy if it was not made of gold.
Not to mention Manchuria and Mongolia, who in this world doesn't like gold and silver?
He said that she had to eat from a golden bowl and wear clothes with jewels on them. Would the bowl she brought as a dowry be a bother to him?
Why doesn't he say that he eats dozens of dishes in one meal, which is so wasteful?
What's more, they have been separated for three years. Can the Queen force him not to go?
Therefore, she could only bear the bad reputation and become the victim of their mother-son game.
The Queen Mother definitely chose her own son, but replaced him with the original owner's niece as the new Queen.
The original owner became an abandoned queen in the cold palace at the age of 15.
"Didn't my aunt abandon me? She even wanted to give herself to the regent for that loser! Ha! Now I want to abandon her too!"
"That coward can't punish the Regent, can't refuse the Queen Mother, and can only use me as a scapegoat. Then, he will never have power in his life!"
"Everyone treats me as a toy, so I will be that toy. Toys will also backfire!"
"This time, I want them and their son to beg me to come into the palace!"
"Oh, I'm going to give birth to a child, and I'm going to end the bloodline of the Aixinjueluo family! I'm going to make all their efforts go to waste!"
The woman in the shadow has a gorgeous face, a kind of beauty that is extremely aggressive.
She loved gold, jade, and jewelry, and her appearance was perfectly suited to those beautiful things.
There was coldness in her eyes, even though she lived a relatively happy life in the second half of her life.
But when I woke up in the middle of the night, everything in the Qing Palace seemed like a nightmare.
That nightmare haunted her all her life!
Even at the end of her life, she still remembered the unwillingness she felt at the beginning!
She and her father went to Beijing to get married, but Shunzhi refused many times and left her alone. What if she was willing to marry him?
A pale and weak young man, who at first glance might have been a Han Chinese.
Waving the "little whip" with pride! Bastard!
When Xue Li woke up, it was still night.
Xue Li looked at the information in silence.
First of all, this marriage was a political strategy jointly led by the then Empress Dowager Bumbutai and Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty.
First, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang hoped to use this marriage to help Emperor Shunzhi gain more support from within his own family.
Second, Xiaozhuang could also use her niece, who was the queen, to control the situation in the inner court.
Dorgon chose Mengguqing because he believed that the marriage between Manchus and Mongols would help consolidate the Qing Dynasty's regime and be beneficial to consolidating the northern border. It also inherited the national policy of marriage set by Nurhaci!
If we say that Dorgon chose Mengguqing as the empress for Emperor Shunzhi, it was mainly out of considerations of political marriage.
The Qing Dynasty already had the support of Khorchin, so it was not impossible to marry into other Mongolian tribes.
But Bumbutai was unwilling to do so. Since they were going to choose a queen, they must choose one from her mother's clan.
On the one hand, the marriage relationship was closer, and Shunzhi could also get the support of the entire Khorchin tribe.
Why should we let other tribes take advantage of it? By that time, how could it be the turn of the Khorchin alone to dominate?
On the other hand, it made it easier for her to manage the former dynasty and the harem. Otherwise, why did Kangxi's biological mother die when her good days were approaching?
It is now the sixth year of Shunzhi (6), early spring.
Xue Li sorted out the timeline and found that in March, Dorgon's younger brother Doduo was about to die of smallpox.
It is also interesting that Dorgon will die in December next year.
The two brothers died one after another when they were less than 40 years old, partly because their bodies were scarred by years of fighting.
On the one hand, who could have done it?
Xue Li was thinking about something, and found a jade bottle in the secret realm, planning to go find her father Wu Keshan.
"Princess, are you awake yet?" A maid about the same age as the original owner came in. Her name was Chaolu.
"Hmm!" Xue Li was a little sleepy. The weather was so cold, it was suitable for hibernation!
Chaolu is steady and sensible, and has made comprehensive arrangements.
Xue Li looked at the little beauty in the mirror, she was so gorgeous and proud.
No wonder he loves gold and jade. Only this face can control those gold and jade things.
Those plain colors are not suitable for this face.
Xue Li looked left and right happily. Oh, seeing the beautiful woman made her mood beautiful.
The identification was completed, Shunzhi was blind.
I can look at this face with disgust.
After washing, combing her hair and dressing up, Xue Li wore a traditional Mongolian robe with bright colors and exquisite red cloud patterns.
