The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Update time: 21-06-2110 01:[-]

Kangxi laughed the loudest in Yonghe Palace, and he also had the most emotion.

The fourth son has a good relationship with Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen, and he has also seen such a scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other.

Concubine De is a good woman.

When he left, Kangxi took away the net made for him by Concubine De, and then returned to the Qianqing Palace. He rewarded Concubine De with twenty bolts of silk and satin, 100 taels of gold and a set of emerald heads.

I rewarded the fourth elder brother with a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

I rewarded Brother Thirteen with a set of small bows and arrows.

I rewarded Brother Fourteen with a plate of Saqima.

But later Kangxi heard that the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother were playing with the little bow and arrow, and the fourteenth elder brother shared the saqima with the thirteenth elder brother, um, not for the fourth elder brother.

Laughed again.

The news in the palace spread quickly, and everyone knew that Concubine De had the favor of Long Live Lord again.

But what is strange is that Kangxi then rewarded Concubine Yi again!

What he rewarded Concubine Yi was an emerald pharmacist Liuli Buddha, two imperial doctors who specialized in pediatrics, and the imperial pharmacy could provide the imperial doctor with medicines to treat Eleven Elder Brother's illness.

In addition, he also rewarded Brother Eleven with a small knife made of ivory. Although it is a child's toy, the material is ivory and the workmanship is good.

This is a big reward in the palace.

After thanking Concubine Yi, she was baffled after thanking Concubine De, her relationship with Concubine De was not very good.

Concubine Yi is the eldest daughter of Guo Luoluo's family, so who is Concubine De?

She is the second young lady of the Wuya clan, not the direct descendant of the direct line, but a family of the seventh-rank co-management, and the Wuya clan is not a common Manchu surname, but just a side branch of the Ulanara clan.

Wuya clan used to be the coated slave of the Ulanara family. In ancient times, the family of master and servant was emphasized. It can be said that both the Ulanara clan and the Wuya clan are prosperous and both are prosperous. The glory of the Ulanara clan is also the glory of the Wuya clan. .

Concubine De is such a woman, a girl from a family who wrapped her clothes, and was sent to the palace to serve others.

What do the coaters do?

The first record of the term "coating" was found in "Manchurian Records".

The original origin is the lower-level members of the Jurchen tribe, non-blood-related families adopted and accepted by the ruling family, clan members and some relatives, etc. It is adapted from the earliest slaves.

For example, the Wanyan family of Neifu was incorporated into the coat because of its relationship with Qing Taizu Nurhachi.

In addition, there are many honorable relatives who followed the Qing Taizu who rose up in the army and belonged to Baoyi, and the Eight Banners have not changed since they were customized.

Their special relationship with the ruling family makes them the most trusted and loyal retainers, servants, right-hand men, and even friends of their masters.

With the continuous expansion of the power of the Nurhachi family, the source of the coating has become more and more complicated.

Expanding from the previous sources to prisoners of war, indentured servants, and convicted persons, it can be seen that no matter what the origin of Bao Yi is, he is always inferior in the eyes of others.

Since then, the identity of the coated members with them as the main body has also become more and more stable, and began to appear as a slave class.

Shangsanqi Baoyi has his own household registration, belongs to the official household, and his status belongs to the list of Zhengshen banner people.The institutions formed by them serve the royal family... The Ministry of Internal Affairs has balanced the power of eunuchs in the palace and reduced the possibility of eunuchs' monopoly.Some of the Xiawuqi coats also have their own household registration, while the other part is attached to the main family's household registration.

People who belong to the Baoyi Banner family, except for the concubine's family raising the flag, making military exploits, performing well as officials, and rehabilitating crimes, etc., their status is fixed from generation to generation. Generations of slaves, etc., have served the master for generations. To put it bluntly, this is a slave.

The more algebra, the more trusted by the master, the higher the status, and in charge of important affairs.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Baoyi could participate in the imperial examination more widely, thus entering the official career; he could also choose armor soldiers to form various types of barracks.

Since the upper three banners were directly subordinate to the emperor and belonged to the "emperor's family", their status, official career, and opportunities to fill vacancies were much higher than those of the lower five banners.

Because Xiawuqi Coating belongs to the prince privately, the opportunity to become an official is basically limited to serving in the prince's mansion.

However, once the imperial court selects Baoyi as an official under the Five Banners, it does not need to obtain the approval of his master.

Although it is said that in the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were a lot of people who came out of the coat and went into the prime minister and served as the chief officials of the frontier, but in the early Qing Dynasty, people were still divided into three or six grades. Among the concubines, she is the lowest, so low that Xiao Shishi is four years old now, and she hasn't seen her grandfather and uncle yet.

Concubine De has one older sister and two younger brothers.

Although the current imperial court refers to the women of the Eight Banners and the Three Banners as Xiunu, the selection methods and their status in the palace are also different.

Eight Banners show girls are selected once every three years, presided over by the Ministry of Household Affairs, who can be selected as empresses and concubines, or bestowed with close branches (that is, within three generations and relatively close blood relationship) clan.

Coated three-flag show women are selected once a year and presided over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although some of them are gradually promoted to concubines, those who undertake the chores in the harem are all the women in coats from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, Concubine De was the first maid to serve Empress Xiaoyi Tong Jia.

It was just that Empress Xiaoyi saw that she was in good health and easy to bear children, so she was pushed onto Emperor Kangxi's dragon bed, and she gave birth to the fourth elder brother through her belly. Unfortunately, Empress Xiaoyi's life is not good, and she has no children. However, the adopted son was not recorded in her name in the end, it was because Concubine De, the biological mother, had lived long enough that Tong Jiashi was forced to death.

Those who can become empresses of the Qing court are mainly the Eight Banners.

It is rare to see a beautiful Mongolian girl, let alone a court lady.

Moreover, Concubine De was the first woman to be named one of the four concubines.

Sitting on an equal footing with Concubine Yi, how could Concubine Yi bear her explosive temper?

Every time he doesn't give Concubine De a good look, although he doesn't do too much, but he has nothing to do with Concubine De.

Concubine Yi is the head of Yikun Palace, she lives in Zhuang Yiyuan of Yikun Palace, she is the one with the highest status in Yikun Palace.

Concubine De lives in the Yonghe Palace, the one in the main hall, and is also the empress of the Yonghe Palace, one of the East Six Palaces.

Concubine Yi's Yikun Palace is one of the West Six Palaces. The two lived one east and one west. If they didn't go to say hello to the Empress Dowager, they wouldn't meet each other at all, unless it was a special visit... But the palace The "Four King Kongs" seldom visit each other. The so-called "Four King Kongs" are the affirmation of the status of the four empresses in the palace.

Concubine Hui Ulanara is the head of the four concubines, because she gave birth to her eldest elder brother Yinti, and she was born of a noble family. Her ancestor was the well-known Lord of Ula.

Concubine Rong Ma Jiashi, she was the first woman to give birth to a child among all the concubines of Kangxi. Unfortunately, from birth to death, only one son and one daughter stood, namely the third elder brother and the eldest princess.

The rest are the two of them, and there is no intersection, even in the case of antagonism, what did the Concubine De say to Long Live Lord?

Let Long live God's rewards be thickened, and the love doubled?

Concubine Yi couldn't figure it out, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, making her a little nervous.

Concubine De took good care of Zhang Jiashi, and occasionally asked the little thirteenth and fourteenth brothers to visit Mrs. Zhang Jia. The two children were very curious about Zhang Jiashi's growing belly.

"We used to live in Erniang's stomach, like this." Little Fourteen shook his head and looked at Zhang Jia's belly with Little Thirteen: "Sleeping with our feet curled up, we will come out when we grow up! "

Zhang Jia's smile was gentle and serene: "Brother Fourteen is really smart."

Xiao Shisan thought for a while: "Is it so small? I am so big and my stomach is so small."

He also made a gesture, compared to Xiao Shishi, an old cucumber painted with green paint, pretending to be a tender adult heart and child's skin, Xiao Shisan is really innocent.

"But you used to be very small!" Little Fourteen happily gestured: "Little Fourteen used to be so big, but now he is so big!"

With a swing of his small arm, he drew a super large distance, proving that he was very big.

The two children talked childishly, and it took a long time to confirm that Zhang Jia'er's mother really had a child in her stomach, not a full stomach...

The two of them went to Yikun Palace to see the thirteenth princess.

The Thirteenth Princess is Zhang Jia's first daughter, who was given to Concubine Yi to raise her.

The thirteenth princess is already three years old, she is only one year younger than the thirteenth elder brother, thirteen months younger.

It was just when they were toddlers and could talk just now, the two of them played with the thirteenth princess for a long time in the back room of Zhuang Yiyuan before Concubine Yi came over.

"Why did you come here and no one responded?" Yi Fei was very upset.

"We don't want to tell Yi'eniang." Little Fourteen said joyfully, "Let's go to see Thirteenth Sister, we've seen Thirteenth Sister, and then we'll go to Eleventh Brother, did Eleventh Brother wake up from his nap?" ?”

"I'm awake, I'm basking in the sun outside." From morning to night, when the sun was not so hot, Concubine Yi would let her son take a walk in the courtyard to bask in the sun.

"Then let's go and see Brother Eleven. It's been a long time. I miss him." Little Fourteen shook his head, Little Thirteen nodded and bowed.

The two children are healthy and cute, and Concubine Yi is not the kind of vicious woman, so she hugged the Thirteenth Princess: "Then let's go, let's go and see your eleventh brother."

An adult and three children just went to Elder Brother's place.

Because elder brother Eleven is not in good health, even at this age, he did not move to elder brother's house, but lived in Yifei's Zhuangyiyuan Xidaotang.

Brother Eleven is a relatively mature child, probably because of his poor health. He is very quiet and has a soft smile. He especially likes the two younger brothers who are alive and kicking. Holding one arm of Eleventh Brother, he sighed very much: "I really like Eleventh Brother."

Brother Eleven touched his head and smiled gently: "Then come here to see me more, okay?"

"Okay, Brother Eleven should also take good care of his illness, get more exposure to the sun, and the activities will be fine. Who said that? Life lies in exercise." Little Fourteen said seriously: "My Eleventh Brother Longevity."

"Well, live a long life." Elder Brother Eleven patted Little Thirteen's head again: "Look at Little Fourteen carefully. Although you two are only one year apart, you are an older brother."

"Xiao Shisan knows, Brother Eleven, you have to be well, we have free time every few days, come and see how you are?" Xiao Shisan also likes the gentle Brother Eleven very much.

"Okay, Brother Eleven has delicious milk beans here, I'll save them for you two. The milk beans are wrapped in mare's milk raisins, they are delicious." Eleventh Brother also likes two younger brothers who are alive and kicking, and prefers Yaya The younger sister who is learning language, with the company of his younger siblings, he feels that life is much more fun.

Concubine Yi saw a group of children agreeing to come and go frequently, she couldn't help frowning even more, children are children, but Concubine De, what would she think?
