Princess

Princess

The imperial concubine of Keshun (February 27, 1876 - August 15, 1900), namely Zhenfei, is the daughter of Chang Xu, the right servant of the household department. She is a man with red flag in Manchuria. She is the emperor and Empress of Guangxu. In Guowen Beicheng, it is said that "only princess Zhenfei is clever and pleasant. She is good at calligraphy and chess. She serves the emperor every day and enjoys food and drink with the emperor. She is especially loved by the emperor.".

In 1889, the 13-year-old Tatara family and his 15-year-old sister were selected into the palace, and they were named Jinpin and Zhenpin respectively. In 1894, Empress Dowager Cixi lived a long life in her 60s, and they became imperial concubines. In the same year, because of disobeying Cixi, they were stripped of the Imperial Staff in the name of "being flashy and begging frequently", and then they were demoted to be noble. The next year, they were promoted to be imperial concubines again.

In August of the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1900), the Allied forces of the eight powers invaded Beijing. Empress Dowager Cixi, who was only 24 years old, forced to kill her in a well on the pretext that it was inconvenient to take her away, and that she was afraid that her youth would cause trouble and disgrace the royal family. In 1901, the Qing government signed the xinchou treaty with the foreign powers. The Allied forces withdrew from the capital and Cixi returned to Luan. When Cixi returned to the palace, she saw that the well she had thrown was still the same. She ordered people to salvage the bones and bury them in the coffin. She was buried in the palace maid cemetery in the south of eunuch cemetery of Enji village outside Fucheng gate. She covered the eyes and ears of the world in the name of "martyrdom" and was later named the princess. After Cixi's death, Regent zaifeng changed the cause of her death from "suicide in a well" to "drowning in a well by Cui Yugui". In 1913, after the death of Empress Dowager Longyu, Princess Jinfei was still alive. At this time, she was honored as Princess duankang. She was ordered to be buried in Chongfei garden in the Western Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. A small mourning hall was set up for her in the gatehouse on the north side of the well. A paper plaque was hung on the hall, which read "Jingwei Tongcheng", praising her devotion to qingdezong The truth.

Life of the characters

Manchuria people with red flag are usually used to call her Zhenfei, one of the only two concubines of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty.

Born on the third day of February, 1876 (February 27th, 1876), Zhenfei was the daughter of Changxu, the former right servant of the Ministry of household. Chang Xu has three sons and five daughters. The first son, the second son, the first daughter, the second daughter, the third son, the fourth daughter and the fifth daughter are all concubines. Among them, four women are Jinfei and five women are Zhenfei.

The princess is cheerful, lively and curious. She was disgusted with the red tape and rigid way of life in the palace, especially the intrigue and intrigue in the palace. She likes new things and lives a free and unrestrained life. Princess Zhenfei's character is influenced by congenital factors and also related to her growing environment.

Princess Zhenfei and her sister Jinfei grew up in Guangzhou with her uncle Changshan. Although general Changshan of Guangzhou is a military general, he likes to make friends with literati. He once employed Wenting to teach two nieces to study. Wenting style is a generation of celebrities, after the list of high school for the top. Guangzhou is the most important port city for five port trade. It was the earliest to open up, the earliest to contact with the western capitalist world, and the most affected. It is much more open-minded than the mainland. In addition, Chang Shan himself made a lot of famous people, most of whom had advanced ideas, which had a great impact on the formation of the princess's thought and personality. Moreover, his two elder brothers, Zhirui and Zhijun, are open-minded people. Her mother is also open-minded. The influence of the whole family on her is an important factor that can not be ignored. Her grandfather was Yutai, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. Her father Chang Xu was once the right servant of the household department. Her uncle Chang Shan was a general of Guangzhou. At the age of 10, she returned to Beijing with her sister. In 1889, the two sisters were selected into the palace, and at the age of 13, they were named concubines.

The princess is white and flawless, with beautiful facial features and bright personality. On the fifth day of October in the 14th year of Guangxu (1889), the two sisters of Zhenfei were selected into the palace. After Empress Dowager Cixi selected the daughter of her younger brother (vice capital Tong Guixiang) yehenala (empress Longyu) as Emperor Guangxu, she was also named Zhenpin at the age of 13, and Jinpin at the age of 15. He entered the palace on the 26th of the first month of the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. On February 18, the 15th year of Guangxu, Li Hongzao, the Minister of rites, was appointed as the chief envoy and Wen Xing, the right Minister of rites, as the Deputy envoy.

Until the first day of the first month of the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1894), because of Empress Dowager Cixi's 60th birthday, she got a concubine of Jin Dynasty. Imperial concubine Dunyi is honored as imperial concubine Dunyi Rongqing, imperial concubine Yu is honored as imperial concubine Jin, imperial concubine Yu is honored as imperial concubine Jin, imperial concubine Yu is honored as imperial concubine Jin, imperial concubine Jin is honored as imperial concubine Jin, and imperial concubine Zhen is honored as imperial concubine Jin.

On October 29, because of disobedience to the Empress Dowager and being found to be glitzy and disrespectful of family law, she was reduced to a noble person with Jinfei. It is said that on the day before Jiangzhen and Jiner were noble, Emperor Guangxu asked Cixi to settle down. Cixi turned pale and ignored him. Emperor Guangxu knelt on the ground for more than two hours. At last, Cixi said maliciously, "you don't care about Jinfei and Zhenfei. I'll take care of them. They should not be allowed to break the family law and interfere in the government. Go down According to the Qing palace archives, it is confirmed that the princess was "stripped of her clothes" on October 28. The imperial concubines were punished in this way, which was extremely rare in the Qing Dynasty. Weng Tonghe once pleaded for Zhen and Jin in front of Cixi, and proposed to postpone the operation, but he was refused. As a result, not only Zhenfei was punished, but also Jinfei was implicated by her sister.

Jinfei is not the only one involved. On the second day of November, Cixi issued a decree to put Gao Wanzhi, the eunuch of Zhenfei to death. In this incident, dozens of eunuchs, including Yonglu, Xuanwu, Wang Changtai and Nie De, were sent to exile, some were secretly executed, and some were immediately killed. Even the maids with the surname Bai who were waiting on the princess were expelled from the palace.

In the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the imperial concubine was restored.

On November 12, the 21st year of Guangxu, Shouqi, a cabinet bachelor, was appointed as the prime minister, and Pufu, a cabinet bachelor, was appointed as the vice minister.

In the early August of the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1900), the Eight Allied forces gathered forces to attack Beijing. Empress Dowager Cixi took Emperor Guangxu and fled in a hurry. Before leaving, he ordered the eunuch to call out the princess, who was confined in the north three Shoushou pharmacy, and make her drown in the well at Zhenshun gate behind ningshou palace. At that time, the princess was only 24 years old.

Guo Wen Bei Cheng: after Guangxu got married, he was not very close to the queen, but was indifferent to Jinfei. But the princess was clever and pleasant. She was good at calligraphy and chess. She served the emperor on a daily basis and shared food, drink and joy with the emperor.

He was later convicted

On the one hand, the reason why Guangxu liked Zhenfei was that she was young, lively, and had little experience. On the other hand, she advocated Western learning and had her own unique views on the affairs of the imperial court, which coincided with Emperor Guangxu's reform thought: "Dezong favored her, but she was not very friendly with the queen." (Guowen Beicheng)

Tang Haiyi's "my two aunts - Zhenfei and Jinfei" records that "elder sister Bai said that in order to revenge, Longyu colluded with Li Lianying and the eunuch in Zhenfei's palace and put a man's boot in Zhenfei's palace in an attempt to slander her for having an affair. Elder sister Bai was also tortured for this. Later, because the material of one of her clothes was the same as that of an actor who often went to the palace for acting (it is said that the material of the actor's clothes was sent by Guangxu), Longyu made a big deal about it, which led to her suffering from tingzhang. "Among them, elder sister Bai is the palace man around the princess, which is worthy of attention.

The Queen's attack on the princess was later supported by the Empress Dowager. Some of her new ideas, such as the camera incident, also aroused Cixi's antipathy, and finally led to another beating incident. This time, it was seen in my grandfather xiaodezhang, which was compiled by Zhang Zhongchen, the adopted grandson of xiaodezhang, according to the memory of her grandfather My niece Longyu was made queen. This is the most dissatisfied event in Guangxu's heart. After marriage, he was very indifferent to empress Longyu and loved her very much. Princess Zhenfei was smart and intelligent. She was talented and learned. She could also make people laugh and please Guangxu. Her ancestors were very angry when they saw her. Guangxu often visited the imperial concubine palace. Empress Longyu was angry and complained to her ancestors that the imperial concubine was not good. "In addition to empress Longyu and Princess Zhenfei, there is also Princess Jinfei. Zhenfei and Jinfei are close sisters. They are beautiful, learned and loved by Guangxu. They are inseparable every day. Guangxu used the pearls and Jadeites in stock to make a pearl cheongsam for the princess, which was dazzling in the sun. One day, they were walking in the royal garden. While they were enjoying themselves, they were caught by their ancestors, who said, "Wow! Even I'm not willing to use so many pearl robes. How dare you, a concubine, do that. What do you want to be queen? Who sealed it? The emperor dotes on you too much! " Guangxu and Zhenfei immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, pleading guilty. The ancestor immediately asked the second manager Cui Yugui to take it down. After returning to the palace, he also beat 30 bamboo poles of Zhenfei. The details of Princess Zhenfei's pearl string robe incident mentioned by Xiao De Zhang are consistent with other materials, such as the pearl string robe incident in Deling's Yingtai weeping for blood, so it can't be regarded as a legend, and it may be a historical record of Princess Zhenfei's second crime.

Princess Zhen was also very generous. She often rewarded the eunuchs in the palace. The eunuchs got some small favors and tried their best to flatter the "little master". For a long time, the "little master" was also praised a little at a loss, gradually losing self-control.
