Because of the funeral system of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi did not know where to bury the body of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

When Emperor Kangxi inherited the throne, he was isolated and helpless. The only person who helped him was his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Seeing that Kangxi was basically raised by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was from the Qing Dynasty. A strong woman, in order to protect the young Emperor Kangxi from wind and rain, tried her best to enlighten and educate Emperor Kangxi. Therefore, when Kangxi was young, she relied heavily on her grandmother. Even when she became an adult, her grandmother handed over the royal property to Emperor Kangxi. , Whenever there was something related to Xiaozhuang, Emperor Kangxi would be respectful and courteous.

Everyone has a time of birth, separation, death, and other things. Even the grandmother of Emperor Kangxi was no exception. Seeing that his grandmother was tortured by illness, Emperor Kangxi began to look for good medicine from all over the world. He was even willing to exchange his life for his grandmother's life time, but in the end Xiaozhuang passed away. At that moment, Emperor Kangxi was so sad that as an emperor, he became so helpless.

After grieving, Emperor Kangxi had to consider the burial of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Before he passed away, he told Kangxi not to disturb Huang Taiji, who had been sleeping underground for a long time, because of his burial. I miss you and your father very much, so just place me near the Xiaoling Mausoleum. If you can do this for me, I will have no regrets. Although it is an ordinary sentence, it made Emperor Kangxi very sad. Difficult.

Burying Xiaozhuang in Shenyang was completely contrary to his imperial grandmother’s will. He was buried in Dongling. However, Emperor Shunzhi was buried there. Xiaozhuang was Shunzhi’s mother and was buried next to him. This was inconsistent with The ancestral family law and the funeral system did not allow it. Later, I had no choice but to leave it where it was.
