Kong Sizhen's father, Kong Youde, was a guard in Liaoyang in the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed as the South King, and later became the right-hand man of the Qing government to suppress the peasant uprising and other anti-Qing forces. In the seventh year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde led the Qing army to Guangxi and killed Qushi Aluminum, a university student in Dongmingguan, Nanming. He would rather die than surrender.
In May of the ninth year of Shunzhi, the rest of the Daxi Army and the Zhang Peasant Rebel Army were active in the southwest. Rebels led by Li Dingguo attacked Guangxi. Although Kong Youde had a glimmer of hope for the arrival of reinforcements, he had to prepare for the worst. He had fallen before the reinforcements arrived in Guilin. It is natural that he was the king of Dingnan in the Qing Dynasty, but his wife and children don't need to die with him. He must properly arrange the aftermath before Li Dingguo troops surround Guilin, otherwise it will be too late.
On the morning of June 29th, something happened. Where are you and your parents going? The defeated Kong Youde called his two wives and children to his side. He made it clear to them that once the city was destroyed, he was determined to become a martyr and hoped that his two wives would take their children out of the city for a period of time. However, the two ladies refused to go with their husbands, and finally decided to let the two nannies escape to the countryside with Kong Tingxun, Kong Sizhen and the refugees. After fleeing the city, two nannies took a child to a shelter in order not to arouse suspicion. Everyone in Guilin knows that Wang Dingnan has two teenage children. It's amazing that two nannies bring two children together. In this way, Kong Sizhen and her brother were separated forever.
The day after Kong Sizhen and his brother fled the city, Li Dingguo came to Guilin. On the second day of July, Li Dingguo began to attack Guilin and surrounded the third floor. The fierce fighting lasted for three days and nights. Even Kong Sizhen, who was hiding in a rural house, could clearly hear the sound of guns and the rumbling of elephants hitting the city walls. Whenever she hears the sound of collapse, her heart shrinks into a ball. On July 4, the smoke rose in Guilin, and a raging fire soon appeared. Instinctively, she felt that Guilin had fallen, Dingnangong was in flames, and her parents were swallowed up by the ruthless fire.
When the news reached Beijing, the emperor shunzhi was deeply shocked and ordered to withdraw from North Korea. Later, Xu Zu and Empress Dowager Cixi "sympathized with the king" and sent Kong Sizhen to the palace to be raised by Empress Dowager Cixi. So Kong Sizhen came to Beijing from Guangxi and lived in the palace.
In the 11th year of Shunzhi, Kong Youde's coffin was transported from Guangxi to Tokyo for burial. According to the Records of Qing Zu, the emperor shunzhi ordered that "the car be buried until the next day, and some ministers and officials of the Ritual Department will have a meeting to drink." It was also welcomed by officials above Zhang Jing, such as Prince Heshuo and Mailer. ""In Tokyo, we have to send 4,200 pieces of silver and a monument made by the Ministry of Industry to the king's grave. He also ordered assistant minister Engende to give Kong Sizhen twenty-two thousand pieces of silver for daily use. "。 After accepting the donated silver coins, Kong Sizhen said, "My father's bones were originally buried in Tokyo, but my brother and I were trapped in a thief camp, and I live here. "If you send your father's bones to Tokyo to show your filial piety, please bury them here immediately. The emperor shunzhi readily promised that Kong Youde was not only buried in the capital, but also "Kong Youde, king of Wude in Dingnan, made outstanding contributions, sacrificed his life, gave food to his daughter Lu, and regarded him as a teacher. "。 From then on, Kong Sizhen became a princess of the Qing Dynasty.
When the smoke dispersed, Guilin Wangfujing was in ruins, and all the mountains and rivers disappeared behind. Although the parents and Kong Sizhen in the coffin were close at hand, they all came back from the dead. She remembered what her mother had said to the nanny: "The child got out of trouble and became a novice monk. It's useless for his father to ride for a lifetime. Today is the end. " This is for my brother, but my brother has become a prisoner, and it is her daughter who "gets out of trouble". The man's "gallop" ended like this, and so did the two mothers. My father has verbally betrothed her to the descendants of Sun Long. In the future, she will follow Sun Yanling to the south and the north, which will inevitably be like two mothers. After thinking all the way, Kong Sizhen made proper arrangements for his future: after his parents' funeral, he became a monk. Accompanied by the ancient Buddha, Green Lantern, he fasted, recited Buddha and chanted scriptures every day, which not only saved his parents' souls, but also ensured his own life safety.
In fact, Kong Sizhen can't decide his own destiny. Maybe her six roots are not clean. Perhaps, as the only descendant of Kong Youde, she is also a flag of the soldiers who fought in Wendell Dickinson, Guangxi. Instead of breaking into an empty door, she was called into the palace door. Young the emperor shunzhi and his mother sourdrang dowager met Kong Sizhen. Can Kong Sizhen refuse such a big favor?
Not * * * enjoyment.
The emperor shunzhi, who is five years older than Kong Sizhen, is a man of temperament. When I first saw Kong Sizhen, a plainclothes, I felt very loving. At this time, Shunzhi had just experienced her second wedding. The emperor shunzhi's first queen was arranged by Dourgen when he was regent. This woman is Wu Keshan's daughter and sourdrang queen's niece. Obviously, this marriage also reflects the wishes of the Queen Mother. Through marriage, she consolidated the alliance with Mongolian ministries. However, on the 17th day of the first month of the eighth year of Shunzhi, sourdrang dowager's younger brother Wu Keshan sent his daughter to Beijing. Although Prince Wen Dahai suggested holding a wedding for the emperor in February, the emperor himself refused. Shunzhi didn't want to accept the queen's choice. Wang Rui was engaged to his relatives when he was young, but he had no choice. She had a bad feeling before she got married.
Shunzhi's resistance to marriage is related to Dourgen's resentment. Wu Keshan's daughter, the soon-to-be-married bride, was not recognized as a saint until August 13 of that year, after eight months of broadcasting. However, as soon as the solemn memorial ceremony was over, the queen was thrown aside, and her beautiful face and budding years were imprisoned by the yellow tile red wall. Dourgen hurt the little emperor's self-esteem when he was regent. Because this marriage was arranged by Dourgen, it is enough for Shunzhi to be in the throat and vent all the young emperor's grievances on the queen.
Although sourdrang dowager tried to adjust the tension between Empress Dowager Cixi, after three years' efforts, there was no improvement. On August 25, the tenth year of Shunzhi, Empress Dowager Cixi defeated Shunzhi and was forced to agree to "reduce the queen to a concubine and live in the side palace".
Sourdrang dowager can agree to abolish it, but it will never threaten the Manchu-Mongolian alliance. Under the auspices of the Empress Dowager, Wu Keshan's abandoned niece was brought in from the Qing Dynasty. In the 11th year of Shunzhi, that is, on June 16th, thirteen days after Kong Sizhen entered Beijing, fourteen-year-old Borges was made the queen, that is, the filial piety queen. However, the second queen of Mongolia failed to bridge the cultural gap. For Shunzhi, the second queen was just a gift from his mother. Although he doesn't like it, he still wants to put it there, which should be regarded as unacceptable decoration. For Shunzhi, this is not only the result of cultural influence, but also the political need. After all, he is the emperor of the Central Plains. Before coming to Beijing, Kong Sizhen "selected the official women of the Han Dynasty to the Sixth Palace". However, Shi Guifei, Chen and Ning Wuzi grew up together. Tang gave birth to six sons, Wang gave birth to five sons, and Yang gave birth to two daughters and a princess, all Chinese women. In sharp contrast, the six Mongolian queens of Shunzhi have no children, which reflects the influence of Shunzhi cultural background on emotional world and family life.
With her mother's intuition, sourdrang dowager felt that Shunzhi had deeper and deeper feelings for Kong Sizhen. Kong Sizhen, who grew up in a military camp, was a Han Chinese, although he didn't read the scriptures systematically. Her three-year experience in Guilin gave the emperors of the Forbidden City a taste of Lingnan customs. Kong Sizhen, born smart, can have more topics with Shunzhi as long as he reads some poems carefully. For Kong Sizhen, the Queen Mother also looked on coldly. From the heartfelt words of Kong Sizhen's "Thank You Book", "If you are a little careless, you will break your head for a while, that is, you will give up your life to repay your kindness." .
For Shunzhi and Kong Sizhen's hazy love, the Queen Mother not only did not intervene, but promoted their communication. The queen mother not only urged Kong Sizhen to recite the scriptures, but also always found reasons to send Kong Sizhen to Shunzhi's residence after Shunzhi retired from the DPRK. Especially when Shunzhi went hunting in Nanyuan, he was always accompanied by Kong Sizhen and galloped on horseback, which was very charming.
The reason why the Queen Mother intends to cultivate their feelings is well thought out. When a mother knows that her son is not satisfied with two grand weddings, the only remedy is to let her find a woman who satisfies her wishes and be crowned as a concubine. In the heart of the Queen Mother, there is enough to break, and that is her son's love for her sister-in-law Dong Eshi. Dong Eshi's husband was a half-prince of Shunzhi, and the system that the Ming government took turns to serve the Qing empresses provided an opportunity for Dong Eshi, Princess of Qin Xiang, to meet Shunzhi unexpectedly. Although Dong Eshi is a Manchu woman, she has systematically studied the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child and is proficient in calligraphy. She is Shunzhi's confidante. The queen mother heard the wind. In order to avoid the further development of the situation, on April 5th, 11th year of Shunzhi, she promulgated the law of "No Marrying Women", severed the relationship between the amorous son of heaven and his sister-in-law Dong Eshi, appeased them, played down their new love, and disappeared silently.
The appearance of Kong Sizhen gave the Queen Mother hope to solve the problem. As long as Kong Sizhen can ignite the passion of Shunzhi, Dong Eshi will become history. This is indeed killing two birds with one stone: Shunzhi is emotionally satisfied, Kong Youde's daughter and his loyal wife can have an ideal home, Kong Youde's subordinates will have a closer relationship with the royal family, and the family and face of his youngest son, aunt Guo Bo, will be safeguarded. What's more, Kong Sizhen's life experience will never affect the status of Queen Shunzhi.
One day in April of the 12th year of Shunzhi, when it was time to cook, the Queen Mother and Kong Sizhen had a family conversation and asked if Kong Sizhen was engaged. Kong Sizhen was unprepared and blurted out: When my father was alive, he was betrothed to himself in order to prolong the age of Sun Long's descendants. The queen mother was silent for a long time, sighed and said, "Since you can't be my daughter-in-law, please be my daughter!" ! Kong Sizhen was stunned by the queen mother's words. When she came back, she was in tears. She cried and explained to the Queen Mother: My father only verbally told Sun Long that the Sun family would not give the bride price.
Kong Sizhen and Shunzhi were inseparable. Although men are affectionate and women are interested, sourdrang dowager has to consider the feelings of soldiers in Guangxi. When dealing with marriage, the Queen Mother always puts emotion first. Although it was said that no bride price was given, it was Kong Youde's choice after all; As for not sending the dowry, it is also because Sun Long died and Guilin fell, and it was too late. The queen mother knows the Ministry of the Southern King too well. They followed Kong Youde for decades, only knowing that they only listened to Kong's orders.
The Queen Mother also knows that her son is a "kind-hearted" person who will turn right from wrong for love. So she gave Kong Sizhen the title of "Gege", accepted her as an adopted daughter, let her live in the palace, and became a veritable princess. This not only satisfies the idea that they don't want to lose each other, but also restricts their relationship in the name of brother and sister, so that Shunzhi will always be the moon in Kong Sizhen water and Kong Sizhen will always be the flower in Shunzhi mirror; This not only appeased the parties concerned, but also won Kong Youde's subordinates through Kong Sizhen's demeanor.
For the Queen Mother, the hardest thing is to lose the person who made Shunzhi forget Dong Eshi. The relationship between Shunzhi and Dong Eshi has been quietly restored, and finally reached the ears of Prince Cedar. When Shunzhi learned that Dong Eshi was scolded by her husband, he gave his younger brother a slap in the face. On July 3rd, 13th year of Shunzhi, Bogor died of anger and was elected as the widow of Prince Xiang. Kong Sizhen was deeply saddened by the shocking love affair between Shunzhi and Dong Eshi, but she still lived in the Forbidden City and studied art and tactics under the guidance of Empress Dowager Cixi, so as to remotely control the battle-hardened veterans as soon as possible. This is the only time she has returned to her adoptive mother.
