With its touching love story, gripping court struggle and romantic ranger feelings, it became a classic film and television work widely known in the streets at that time.
According to statistics, the national average rating of this drama is 47%, and the highest rating is 62.8%, making it the highest-rated TV series in history.
The second national average audience rating exceeded 54%, with a maximum of 65.95%. Once again, it created the viewing record of China TV series with statistical data.
In addition, this drama has also brought many historical figures to everyone. Among them, "Five Elder Brothers and Yongqi" is the most mysterious one.
The "five elder brothers" in novels and TV series all went to Dali with Swallow and his party at last, where they lived carefree.
In real history, Yongqi died young at the age of 25 because of serious illness.
Because of this, the historical materials of "Five Elder Brothers and Yongqi" have been relatively scarce, which has also caused many rumors related to it.
Until 1958, an unexpected discovery made people unveil the true veil of "five elder brothers" in history.
From 65438 to 0958, in order to solve the problem of perennial water shortage in Beijing, the suburbs of Beijing began to prepare for the construction of Miyun Reservoir.
In order to ensure the smooth construction and flood control of Miyun Reservoir, the state has cleared and relocated 65 villages in the reservoir area in two batches.
In less than nine months, more than 50,000 people were successfully relocated.
Seeing that everything was ready, the workers present began to start construction and carry out excavation work in this area.
However, it didn't take long for everyone to find something unusual underground.
After careful exploration, I found that this is an underground tomb!
You know, this is a tomb outside Beijing, and you can bury it here. The identity of the owner of the tomb must be extraordinary.
As a result, the on-site staff immediately stopped the excavation work and immediately reported the matter to the relevant departments.
After receiving the news, a group of archaeologists in Beijing immediately set out for the scene.
After arriving here, I found that this tomb is extremely large, covering an area of over 65438+100000 square meters. Its overall specifications are far from those of ordinary literati, and it is likely to be the burial place of ancient princes and princes.
Immediately, everyone began to investigate the tombs here.
After a detailed analysis of the overall distribution structure, arrangement habits and architectural techniques of the tomb, experts concluded that it was a royal tomb in the Qing Dynasty.
However, most of the royal families in the Qing Dynasty were buried near the Qing Dongling in Hebei Province. Who owns the tomb here?
Archaeologists first excavated the words on the stone tablets hidden in the tomb, and then studied the unearthed cultural relics, and found that the tomb was built in 1752, 206 years after its discovery.
Therefore, it should have been built during the Qianlong period.
Later, the expert group found the local county annals from Miyun County, from which the true face of the tomb owner was truly solved.
According to the records of Miyun County, "Yongqi's tomb steps on Lotus Mountain, and its head rushes to Phoenix Mountain, backed by continuous mountains such as Weiziyu, Maziyu and Yaoziyu, with a moon river in the middle, and the whole tomb is surrounded by mountains and rivers."
Among them, the recorded location and environment are exactly the same as the tombs here. It can be seen that this is the tomb of Yongqi, the "five elder brothers" of Qianlong.
However, at this time, everyone has a little doubt in his heart.
According to historical records, Yong Qi was built in 1766, but this mausoleum was built as early as 1752.
The time doesn't match at all.
Can it be said that Qianlong knew that Yongqi was dying as early as 1 1, so he built this tomb for him?
But how is that possible?
Therefore, archaeologists continue to dig deep into the ancient tomb. Experienced experts know very well that the truth lies in the grave.
According to the records of Miyun County, this mausoleum was built in a luxurious way.
At the beginning of the construction, the whole cemetery was planted with pines and cypresses symbolizing evergreen. These pines and cypresses are still lush and grow very tall.
The wall of the cemetery is a red wall made of glazed tiles and red bricks, which is more than one foot high.
The cemetery is lined with white marble bridge, stone tablet building, palace gate, court and 20 halls. The whole looks like a small palace, with grand specifications and luxurious style.
Even the emperor's mausoleum is just a drop in the ocean compared with it. So, how does an ordinary prince enjoy such a luxurious mausoleum?
Later, experts found that Yongqi was not the only one buried in this tomb. In the tomb, there are three main coffins in which three adult princes are buried.
This explains why this tomb can be built as luxuriously as the imperial tomb, and why it was built 14 years before Yongqi died.
The identities of the other two princes were also exposed.
The first person buried here is Essien Joro Yong Huang, the eldest son of Ganlong.
This prince, who was supposed to be a popular candidate for the crown prince, died early in 1750 at the age of 22. This mausoleum should be built for it.
The other is the third king of Ganlong, who died in 1760.
It is precisely because his three beloved sons are buried here that the scale of the mausoleum here can be so grand.
After the excavation of three tombs, we found that among the three tombs, Yong Huang, the eldest son, was the most luxurious and Yongqi, the fifth elder brother.
In Yongqi's tomb, a large number of blue and white jade articles were found, including lotus leaf-shaped flower arrangement of sapphire dragonfly, double bottles of jasper ganoderma lucidum, jade phoenix pattern ruyi, blue and white jade cloud bottle and so on.
These jade articles are exquisite in craftsmanship, and each one is a treasure handed down from generation to generation.
In addition, the tomb of Yongqi is also a treasure house of "gathering wind and gathering gas" in Feng Shui.
Compared with this tomb, the tombs of the other two princes are somewhat dwarfed.
Then, why did Qianlong give the best tomb specifications to his fifth son, and even his eldest son Yong Huang was behind him?
This will start with Yongqi's personal life.
On the seventh day of February in the sixth year of Qianlong (174 1 March 22nd), Xin gave birth to the emperor's fifth son, Aisingiorro Yongqi.
Gan Long is still very happy about the arrival of her fifth son.
After all, in the feudal era, for the emperor, how many children he gave birth to directly affected the inheritance of imperial power, which can be said to be the most important thing for the whole royal family.
The medical level in ancient times was limited, and the average life expectancy of people was only 40 years old. Most of the reasons are caused by premature death of newborns. So after Yongqi was born, Qianlong sent a large number of doctors to take care of him.
Yongqi lived up to Qianlong's hope. At a young age, she showed no signs of weakness, but grew up extremely healthy.
When she was a teenager, Yongqi began to show extremely intelligent talent.
Because Manchu people have the custom of learning to ride and shoot, princes should start practicing riding and shooting at a very young age.
Because the height is not well developed, many children are afraid to ride and dare not step on it.
But Yongqi is not afraid of this. He practiced riding and shooting very skillfully at a young age, and his martial arts can even be compared with some generals who have been fighting outside all the year round.
In literature, Yongqi is also very accomplished.
At the age of eight, he mastered Manchu and Chinese, and later learned Mongolian, so he could communicate freely with people of all ethnic groups in the palace.
Besides, Yongqi is also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and is proficient in astronomical geography and calendar calculation.
Especially, he is very good at astronomical algorithms. He even made use of what he had learned and some original ideas to compile it into an eight-line handwritten scroll. What he wrote is very accurate, and some famous books, Biography of Jiao Tong, are handed down to later generations.
Therefore, when she was young, Yongqi was both civil and military, and she was gifted.
Most importantly, Yongqi also has filial piety and courage that the royal family particularly values.
In May of the 28th year of Qianlong (1963), Qianlong lived in Qingyan Hall in Kyushu, Yuanmingyuan. Due to carelessness, the candle on the table was knocked over and the window was lit, which caused a fire.
At that time, although Gan Long's younger brother Hong Zhou was nearby, he was afraid of the fierce fire and did not dare to go to the rescue. Instead, I called Yongqi outside the door.
Seeing her father in flames, Yongqi immediately rushed into the raging fire without saying anything, and carried Gan Long out to survive.
Later, in front of all the officials, Gan Long strongly praised Yong Qi's filial piety and bravery.
At that time, Qianlong had not yet established a prince, so when talking about this matter afterwards, he said: "I think the five sons of the emperor are more valuable among the philosophers ... I am quite interested in them, so I made it clear."
Later, Yongqi was named "Rong". This also made him the first of many brothers to win the title of Prince.
This also shows Qianlong's love for this "five elder brothers".
However, perhaps it is the envy of talents. After three years of rescue, Yongqi died of "bone abscess" (that is, bone tuberculosis and other diseases).
After Yongqi's death, Qianlong was very sad, so he buried him with his eldest son Yonghuan and his third son Yongzheng, and set his grave size as the largest to show his love.
So, if Yongqi hadn't died so early, would Qianlong finally pass on the throne to him?
Thanks to the lesson of Kangxi's "Nine sons seize the office", his successor Yongzheng invented the "secret storage system", and Qianlong also continued his father's habit.
Therefore, no one knows whether Yongqi is really established as Chu Jun.
However, judging from the historical development and the background of feudal times, the possibility that Yong Qi can become an emperor is actually not high.
First of all, as a candidate for Chu Jun, "birth" is particularly important.
Among many sons of Qianlong, Huang Yong, the eldest son, and Yong Lian, the second son, are the best. Both of them are daughters of Fu Cha, the first wife of Qianlong, and Fu Cha is also the favorite of Qianlong's many wives.
However, both of these sons died young due to illness, so they didn't have a chance to be Chu Jun.
Yongqi's biological mother is Yu Guifei, the daughter of Yuanwai Lang Erjitu.
My father's family is just a five-product foreign minister. As far as birth is concerned, Yu Guifei is not conspicuous among many concubines.
However, Yu Guifei's character is low-key, uncompromising and quiet, and she is also deeply loved by Qianlong. So his background is not good, but it is reasonable.
At this point, Yongqi is not wrong as a Chu army.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle is the age limit.
You know, among all the feudal emperors in ancient times, Qianlong lived the longest. After 60 years in power, the actual ruling time reached 63 years.
If Yongqi can live to abdicate, he will be over 55 years old.
This is old in ancient times, and its competitiveness is not comparable to other younger brothers who are in their prime.
For example, Aisingiorro Gala, the Jiaqing Emperor who really inherited the power of Qianlong, was only 36 years old when he became the fifteenth son of Qianlong.
Therefore, even if Yongqi doesn't die early, it's hard for him to fight against armadillos.
