The special status of one family with two queens and the father-in-law of two emperors also made the Yehenala family living in this "Gui Gong's Mansion" prominent. Later Qing history experts also praised this "Gui Gong's Mansion" as "Gui Gong's Mansion". The Phoenix Nest of the Two Empresses of the Late Qing Dynasty." Recently, the author made a special trip to the "Phoenix Nest" in Beijing, and was fortunate enough to meet a descendant of the Yehenala family who came out of this "Phoenix Nest" - Ye He, the fourth great-grandson of Cixi. Nala Genzheng. The Origin of the Yehenala Clan and the First Queen of the Qing Dynasty According to Yehenala Genzheng: "About the origin of the Yehenala Clan, there is such a story: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was already a family in the Yehe River. There was a war between the Yehenara family who established Yehe City and the Aisinjueluo family. At that time, in order to make the Yehenara family surrender, the leader of the Aixinjueluo family pointed to the earth and said: ' We are the most noble gold on the earth (Aixinjueluo means gold)!” The leader of Yehenala laughed loudly after hearing this. He pointed to the sun in the sky and said: “Gold is nothing, we are named after it!” 'The Yehenara clan finally defeated the Aixinjueluo and became the largest tribe in the Northeast at that time." According to historical records: the Yehenara clan is a common surname among the Manchus and one of the earliest surnames. The earliest ancestor of the Yehenala family can be traced back to the Haixi Jurchens in the Five Dynasties period. Their ancestor was named Xingken Darhan, whose original surname was Tumut. The ancestor of the Yehenala family was originally a Mongolian who came to the Hulun tribe. He recruited his wife there. Nala means love. He took over the land and became a country because his country was on the river of Yehe. The city was built on the border, so it was called Yehenala. Yehenala is one of the eight major Manchu surnames, among which there have been many literary and military leaders. For example, the outstanding Manchu scholar Nalan Xingde, who has always been known as "the number one scholar in the early Qing Dynasty", was named Yehenala. But it was the three queens of the Yehenala family who really made Yehenala famous all over the world. Mr. Nagenzheng (Yehenala Genzheng’s current name) told the author: “The Yehenala family and the Aixinjueluo family have been blood relatives for generations. Nurhaci was born to the Yehenala family and also The uncle of the Yehenala family, and his emperor's son Huang Taiji was also born to the Yehenala family. During the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying that the Yehenala family produced beauties from generation to generation. "What Naganzheng said here. Nurhachi's queen, Huang Taiji's mother, was the first empress of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Xiaocigao. Xiaoci was the daughter of Yang Jinu, Minister of Yehe. In the 16th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, when she was 14 years old, she married Nurhaci as a condition of the military alliance between Jianzhou Jurchen and Yehe Jurchen. She lived with Nurhaci for 15 years, and only She gave birth to a son, Huang Taiji. She died of illness at the age of 29. In the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, she was posthumously named Empress Taizu Gao by Huang Taiji. During the 15 years when Xiaoci and Nurhachi lived together, it was the glorious period when Nurhachi actively expanded outward, unified all Jurchen tribes, and conquered one tribe and married one concubine.
