When she first married Huang Taiji, Xiaozhuang was only thirteen years old. Later, she was named Princess of the West Side, ranking second only to her aunt Zhezhe in the harem, and was a favored concubine. With the increasing number of concubines of Huang Taiji, Xiao Zhuang's status is getting lower and lower, from the original second place to the fifth place. Even after the birth of Prince Fu Lin, this situation has not changed.
Xiaozhuang may have complained in her heart, but she didn't feel jealous because of it, and put all her thoughts on her son Fu Lin. As a clever woman, Xiaozhuang didn't compete with other concubines, but she had her own plans to help her son qualify as heir to the throne. Huang taiji * * * has eleven sons, Fu Lin ranks ninth, and his eldest brother, Hogg, has made outstanding achievements. Regardless of age or other aspects, Hogg is the most likely to succeed, and Fu Lin has little advantage.
In 1643, Huang taiji, who was 5 1 year old, died suddenly in Shengjing. Because he was in excellent health and had a delicious diet, he didn't expect such an ending at all, so he didn't set up a crown prince. At that time, the situation was quite critical. Many eyes were fixed on the throne and the situation was tense. More than one person is an emperor. Xiao Zhuang used his wisdom, got the support of Dourgen, and helped his son Fu Lin ascend to the throne.
Shunzhi is an infatuated emperor, who loves Dong E Fei alone. They have a very good relationship and are a model couple. However, Dong E Fei died at the age of 2 1 year. Shunzhi's heart is dying because he can't stand such a big blow. In less than half a year, she left with Dong E Fei. For sourdrang queen, it was the white-haired people who sent the black-haired people, but she was not knocked down by grief, because there was another grandson, Kangxi, who needed her help.
Xiao Zhuang was very strict with Kangxi in order to make him a monarch. It is no exaggeration to say that without Xiaozhuang's inculcation and help, it would be difficult for Kangxi to get rid of Ao Bai, the powerful minister, and it would be almost impossible to create a prosperous future. Kangxi once said: "I have been with my grandmother for more than 30 years, and I have been taught before I can succeed." If there were no grandmother, Empress Dowager Cixi, it would never be today. "
For Kangxi, Xiaozhuang was not only his grandmother, but also a teacher who trained him to become a talent. In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi, 75-year-old Xiaozhuang was seriously ill. Kangxi almost deals with state affairs, and personally gives grandma medicine every day. In addition, he prayed for his grandmother in the sky with a hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and said 14 words from the heart: "May the minister age down and give the Empress Dowager a few more years."
That is to say, as long as my grandmother can live for a few more years, Kangxi himself is willing to die. After listening to this, the ministers were moved to tears, and everyone was crying. Originally Xiaozhuang should be buried with her husband Huang Taiji, but Kangxi buried her in the Qing Dongling according to her living will. Here, it left a mystery for future generations. Why didn't Xiaozhuang want to be buried with Huang Taiji? Maybe only she knows the answer!
