Her life experience, her love and the idea of becoming a monk after Shunzhi's death all added memorable factors to her short life.
The ashes of Dong Eshi, the filial piety queen, were placed in the underground palace of Xiaoling in Shunzhi, which is the only underground palace in Qing Dynasty that was not stolen. She and he really got a long-term peace.
Dong Eshi is the most legendary figure in all the palaces in the Qing Dynasty. At one time, it was generally believed that Dong Eshi was actually a woman from China. This person named Dong Bai (word Xiaowan) is a famous geisha in Suzhou, with both talent and appearance.
When the Qing army went south, Dong Shi was plundered and sent to Beijing Palace for her good looks, becoming the emperor shunzhi's favorite concubine.
In fact, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), this famous Suzhou poet was hidden in the golden house by talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the matchmaker was the famous money. When the Qing army went south in the second year of Shunzhi, Mao's property was indeed looted, but Dong Xiaowan did not become a trophy and was taken to Beijing.
Dong Xiaowan died of tuberculosis in Shunzhi eight years, at the age of 28. Obviously, Dong Xiaowan is not Dong E Fei.
"Biography of Empresses in the Draft of Qing Dynasty" describes Dong E Fei as follows: Dong Eshi, a female minister of E Shuo, entered the army at the age of eighteen, with a very rich family background. In August of 13th year, she was crowned as a virtuous princess, and in December, she became an imperial princess. She paid her respects and was forgiven. Not to mention that the imperial concubine is second only to the queen in the harem. It is a very unusual sign that the imperial concubine was granted the title of imperial concubine and was granted amnesty. It is not difficult to see that Dong Eshi's imperial concubine has a unique position in Shunzhi's heart.
E Shuo, a native of Zhengbaiqi, Manchuria, was awarded the hereditary viscount in the ninth year of Tiancong (1634).
The girls in Eshuo have been in Chongde for four years (1639). In the era of early marriage, people basically get married at the age of 13. Why did Dong Eshi, one year younger than Shunzhi, enter the palace at the age of 18? What's more, 18 years old has already passed the age of entering the palace to be selected.
In the official records of the Qing Dynasty, Dong Eshi's life experience before he entered the palace was kept secret.
However, related works written by westerners have revealed this point. The book Biography of Tang Ruowang points out that the emperor shunzhi has a passionate love for the wife of a full-fledged soldier. When the soldier reprimanded his wife for this, he was slapped by the "son of heaven" who heard him reprimand.
The soldier died of resentment ... so the emperor put the soldier's widow in his palace and made her a noble concubine. According to Mr. Chen Yuan's textual research, the soldier's wife is Dong Eshi, who was named imperial concubine, while Dong Eshi's ex-husband is Shunzhi's younger brother, Prince Bogor to his aunt.
The records of the Shunzhi Dynasty did leave some intriguing words: Prince Bomubogao of Xiang died on the third day of July in the 13th year of Shunzhi, and on the ninth day of July, the Ministry of Ritual chose an auspicious day to register the princess on the 19th of August, and could not bear to keep it ... Because of the death of Prince Xiang, he could not bear to pursue the seal, which was enough to reflect the unusual relationship among Shunzhi, Dong Eshi and Prince Xiang.
Dong Eshi, who is already a wife, can appear in Shunzhi's field of vision, which is probably related to the system that married women take turns to serve concubines in the harem of Qing Dynasty. Being a princess is naturally among the married women, serving the empresses in the palace, which provides conditions for Shunzhi to meet her unexpectedly.
I really looked for him in that dream, but suddenly I looked back at the man in the dim light.
It is worth noting that sourdrang dowager promulgated the "Yi Ming" order on the fifth day of April in the 11th year of Shunzhi, and stopped the implementation of this unprecedented "maid-in-waiting" system on the grounds of strict discipline and putting an end to suspicion.
The Empress Dowager may have heard something about the amorous son of heaven and his sister-in-law Dong Eshi. According to the arrangement of the queen mother, my nephew and granddaughter will be appointed as queens soon. How can we rock the boat at this time? Besides, Prince Xiang Baimu Bogor is a man who values etiquette very much. Once he learned that the princess was having an affair and moved on, he couldn't stand it. For the marriage between Manchu and Mongolian, and for the sake of family harmony, Xiaozhuang decided to nip everything in the bud immediately, cut off the road of tryst between Shunzhi and Dong Eshi, and let their budding love cool down and disappear in silence.
From April of the 11th year of Shunzhi to August 19th of the 13th year of Shunzhi, it is impossible to verify what happened in these two years. However, it is conceivable that the Queen Mother's ban did not stop Shunzhi's love affair. Finally, some rumors reached the ears of Bomuboge of Xiang.
Therefore, Dong Eshi was reprimanded by her husband, and Shunzhi actually slapped her aggrieved husband.
On July 3rd, Bohm Bogor died of resentment, and Dong Eshi entered the palace as a widow.
Why is Dong Eshi so attractive to Shunzhi? Shunzhi wrote in Mourning for Dong Eshi: I will be thrifty in the future, and I don't need expensive jade articles. I have already finished reciting the four books and graduated from the Book of Changes, and I haven't studied them for long before the books have been refined. I use Zen as a metaphor to learn something. The study of the Four Books and the Book of Changes, the mastery of calligraphy and the understanding of Zen all make Dong Eshi and Shunzhi have similar cultural interests, and there are endless topics between them.
For Shunzhi, although there are many harem beauties, they are either from Mongolian grasslands or Manchu families, and almost all of them are illiterate.
How can a young son of heaven who has read a subset of Confucian classics find a bosom friend? In all fairness, Dong Eshi is far inferior to those talented women of Han nationality, but she is a rare confidante for Shunzhi who lives in the cultural desert.
The emperor shunzhi's passionate and lasting love not only stirred up great waves in the harem, but also stirred up waves in Dong Eshi's heart.
The comfortable version of East Africa's guilt is mixed with congenial pleasure. However, the death of Baimu Bogor really made Dong Eshi feel guilty and missed his marriage. He felt a lot of sadness! She was finally chased and grandly ascended the throne of the imperial concubine. On the seventh day of October in the fourteenth year of Shunzhi, the fourth son of the emperor was born, and this son was established as the crown prince at birth ... The pet crown and three palaces also made her a target of public criticism. In the harem with fierce emotional competition, no one wants to be a loser.
When the emperor's fourth son died on the 24th of the first month of the following year, Shunzhi immediately named him proud.
Although the emperor's fourth son was the first among Shunzhi philosophers to be knighted by the prince, Dong Eshi could still feel the concubines' gloating eyes ... Shunzhi still insisted on the imperial system of honoring the queen, and the son of honoring the queen was the crown prince. However, Dong Eshi, who suffered from the loss of his son, was too weak to bear the burden of childbirth, and repeatedly told the emperor that there was no need to make his son a prince.
Perhaps because of Dong Eshi's physical condition, she can't have children, and the idea of being abolished is surging in Shunzhi's chest.
Originally, he had no feelings for the second queen. For the sake of Dong Eshi's future situation, he had to let Dong Eshi sit in the palace.
Knowing this, Dong Eshi knelt down and nodded after learning that Shunzhi had stopped giving the Queen the throne, urging Shunzhi to give up the idea of abolishing the Queen.
Manchu-Mongolian marriage hangs over the harem, just like unbreakable chains, imprisoning the amorous son of heaven and his sweetheart.
On the one hand, Dong Eshi savors his love, on the other hand, he should be alert to the trap of jealousy and be cautious about his words and deeds.
In the fourteenth year of Shunzhi, her father E Shuo died. Dong Eshi's reaction to this is not very sad, because she is worried that her father will make trouble outside as the father of the imperial concubine. On the contrary, her father's death made her no longer care, and her reasons seemed unreasonable. ...
The love of Shunzhi became an unbearable burden in Dong Eshi's life, and she was very tired in the hierarchical harem.
Shunzhi even avoids the imperial court, so don't take pains to remonstrate, for fear of falling into the trap of the king accusing him of never going to court earlier; When Shunzhi spoke in Japan, he was very happy to discuss the meaning of chapters and sentences with her. When Shunzhi asked her to read the letter together, she stood up and thanked her for not intervening.
