The beginning of the palace fight
In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, when the regime was unstable, in order to win over the Mongolian military forces, the emperor usually chose to make Mongolian noble women as queens or concubines. For example, Huangtaiji 's queen Zhezhe is the daughter of Horqin Beilemang Gusi, Shunzhi 's first queen Bolzijit's is the daughter of Mongolian prince Wu Keshan.
The draft system of the Qing Dynasty was established in the Shunzhi period. According to 's "Great Qing Conference" records: "select show girls , set during the Shunzhi period". The scope of the draft covers all the women to be married from the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners.
The Legend of Zhen Huan The plot begins with the newly enthroned Yongzheng preparing for the draft according to the Queen Mother's instructions, enriching the harem, and extending the descendants. According to the plot, the family backgrounds of the women selected for the show are different. The most noble person should be the Fucha clan, that is, the later Fucha noble .
As one of the eight surnames in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the power of the Fucha family ran through almost the entire Kangqian prosperous era. Whether it was the time of prosperity, the respect of status, the number of powerful officials, etc., there was hardly any family that could compete with each other. Fucha is shoulder to shoulder. This is also the main reason why Fucha nobles have the highest title among the show girls.
ranked second is Shen Meizhuang. Shen Mei Zhuang is the daughter of Jeju leader Shen Zishan. In the Qing Dynasty, Zuoling was the subordinate officer of the garrison generals in various provinces, equivalent to the commander of the modern military region, and was the third grade. Therefore, Meizhuang's background is also quite high, and he was named a noble together with Fucha.
behind Meizhuang is Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhen Yuandao 's daughter Zhen Huan. Dali Temple is an ancient judicial institution, equivalent to today's president of the Supreme People's Court, and it is from the third grade.
is again Xia Wei's sister Xia Dongchun .
coating is a word transliterated from Manchu, and means "slave at home". The composition of coating is more complex, some are Manchu people, because of crime, they are reduced to coating; some are Han people, Mongolian people, and Korean people who were captured in war, and they have since become the homes of Manchu and Qing aristocrats. slave.
Due to the special relationship with the royal family, some Baoyi families can inherit official positions or even hold important positions. For example, Xia Wei, the leader of Baoyi, is a fourth-rank military attache. The most humble of these show girls was An Lingrong , whose father An Bihuai was only a Bapin county magistrate.
This is also an important reason why Xia Dongchun dared to wantonly insult An Lingrong, but did not dare to provoke Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang too much.
The draft situation
show girls can be selected, decides in the hands of two people - the emperor and the queen mother.
As the two rulers with the most distinguished and most powerful status in the dynasty, the selection criteria of the emperor and the empress dowager are very different.
The emperor likes beautiful and talented women, while the queen mother prefers women who are from a family, dignified and stable, and have little knowledge.
Yongzheng was brought up by the Xiaoyiren empress Tong Jiashi of Kangxi , and he was estranged from his biological mother, Wu Yashi, who also favored his youngest son, Brother Fourteen, who was brought up by himself. In addition, Yongzheng knew about the affair between Wu Yashi and Long Kedo very early in the play, and there were many rifts between the mother and son of .
At the time of the draft, Yongzheng complained that the candidates for the election were all vulgar fans, while the Empress Dowager thought that there might not be perfect ones, and asked the emperor to consider for his heirs. Out of rebellion against his mother, Yongzheng pointed at Xia Dongchun, who was dressed beautifully.
Xia Dongchun looks very vulgar in appearance, and behaves vulgarly and exaggeratedly. No matter in terms of appearance, knowledge or character, it does not meet the requirements of concubines. Her selection was purely an accident, a tool used by the emperor to deliberately disobey the queen mother, which also paved the way for the emperor's indifference after his death.
has many eyes and ears in the harem, and every move during the draft is passed on to the ears of the queen and concubines, especially Huafei who is the assistant to the sixth palace. Concubine Hua was born as a general, and has a tough approach, so she naturally doesn't like Xia Dongchun, an arrogant person, especially after hearing that Jiaoyin was angry at the Xia family, she hated Xia Dongchun even more.
Xia Dongchun entered the palace
As for Xia Dongchun's performance after entering the palace, it can be summed up as a stupid word.
First of all, she doesn't know how to make friends with Fucha nobles who live in the same palace and An's promise to make good friends. The foundation of the new concubines who entered the palace is not stable, and holding a group is the best way to survive.
On the other hand, Zhen Huan knows how to win over Chun Chang, who lives with him, and Mei Zhuang also gets along well with the concubine who is the lord in his palace, which shows that the two people's pattern of dealing with people and affairs far exceeds that of Xia Dongchun.
Secondly, Xia Dongchun blindly courtes the queen, inadvertently angering the concubine Hua who is in power.
Before entering the palace, every beautiful girl will be taught by the tutor. Zhen Huan's teaching led the mother-in-law to receive courtesy in Zhen's mansion, so she taught her with heart and knew everything. She mentioned that Zhen Huan's concubine Hua's concubine was favored by the sixth palace, so after Zhen Huan entered the palace, she was very respectful to Concubine Hua at first.
Xia Dongchun had previously offended the teaching mama, and it is very likely that the mama deliberately reversed the power distribution of the harem and the struggle between the concubines during her teaching, leading the Xia clan to offend Hua Fei.
In the end, Xia Dongchun did not understand the etiquette in the palace at all, and beat the concubines in front of the Queen's Palace. There are only three people in the palace who have the power to punish the concubines, the emperor, the empress dowager and the queen of the middle palace. Concubine Hua also enjoyed this power because she was granted the emperor's charter to assist the Sixth Palace.
Xia Dongchun didn't keep her duty, and uttered mad words in front of Concubine Hua to "admonish the concubine and concubine." After this series of 's overstepping operations, everyone will feel that Xia Dongchun is self-defeating and seeks death.
Hua Fei's motivation
Zhen Huanzhong has become popular all over the country and has become a ten-year classic. An important reason for is that the characters have distinct personalities and complete logical behaviors. Concubine Hua ordered Xia Dongchun to punish Xia Dongchun in front of so many people, not just to punish her.
Concubine Hua follows the principle of giving both kindness and power to the harem. On the one hand, she gives generous rewards to her servants, and on the other hand, she uses harsh means to eradicate dissidents.
Xia Dongchun flattered the queen in front of everyone, and did not take the concubine in power in the eye, plus Songzhi added fuel to the side "people from the Xia family are not even worthy to carry shoes in front of the Nianfu", Hua The concubine naturally does not allow such a person to continue to make a fortune in the harem.
is the second, 's newly entered palace faces an important problem - standing in line. At that time, the harem was divided into three camps, namely the Queen, Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi and others, the Concubine Hua, Concubine Cao Guiren, and Concubine Li, and Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing, who were wise and secure. partisan.
When the newlyweds first entered the palace, Concubine Hua gave the most generous rewards to Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and Fucha nobles, apparently intending to win over these three.
And she just chose Xia Dongchun to come forward to punish the Xia clan when they clashed with the three sisters Zhen Huan. On the one hand, she can sell Zhen and Shen two people's favor, and The most important thing is to warn the newcomers to take refuge in the queen and offend herself will not end well.
Her method obviously played a certain deterrent effect. Zhen Huan and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, which indirectly contributed to Zhen Huan pretending to be sick and avoiding pets in the early stage.
Yixiu why not save
Hua Fei's action against Xia Dongchun is expected, but what puzzles many people is that the queen who Xia Dongchun is trying to please is actually indifferent or even very indifferent to this matter. After cut autumn and reported the incident, the queen just said something lightlyThe sentence "Xia's family is restless, and if it goes down, it will go down."
, as the master of the harem and the big boss of the entire "Zhen Huan Biography", the queen Ulanara Yixiu is definitely a person with a deep layout .
Before Zhen Huan and others entered the palace, Concubine Hua really achieved the dominance of the family. Nian Gengyao was reused by the emperor in the previous dynasty, and the Nian family was in power for a while, and Concubine Hua herself also favored the harem because of her unique personality. In contrast, 's senile and childless successor, Yi Xiu, pales in comparison.
Facing Concubine Hua's pressing step by step, she could only back down again and again. However, a draft found a chance for Yixiu to come back.
In the early episodes, Yixiu succeeded in pretending to be a pig to eat tigers and sit on a mountain to watch tigers fight. While using Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others to bring down Concubine Hua, she instigated and instigated An Lingrong to attack Zhen Huan. and she herself Sit and reap the benefits of the fish.
Because Yi Xiu is good at disguising, in the early days Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Jing all mistook her for a fair and gentle person, and invisibly became a tool to defeat Concubine Hua. In the shocking palace fighting environment, , as the mother of a country, must have far-reaching considerations for everything Yixiu does.
It is well known that Xia Dongchun made a favor to the queen, but the queen apparently did not accept this "voting certificate". Judging from Yixiu's criteria for recruiting confidants, either An Lingrong, a man of humble origin and a ruthless mind, or Qi, a noble person, , who came from a family full of Mongolian aristocrats, looks gorgeous but not very shrewd. "Embroidered Pillow".
For Xia Dongchun, who was born in the Han army and has an empty head and a dull mind, once she takes it for her own use, she may spend a lot of energy to clean up the mess for her in the future. Yixiu will naturally not do business at a loss.
Secondly, the emperor chose Xia Dongchun to be angry with the queen mother. If the person who was punished at that time was replaced by Zhen Huan, who was a blockbuster in the draft, the queen would definitely stop it.
Concubine Hua dared to use such cruel punishment directly on Xia Dongchun because she was not the emperor's sweetheart.
Once again, Xia Dongchun made a lot of noise in the palace, and Concubine Hua's handling was in line with palace regulations.
If Yi Xiu is in the early stages of Xia Dongchun and the character of Concubine Hua will definitely argue to the end, then the final decision on this matter will be sent to the emperor. The emperor was fond of Concubine Hua in the early stage, and he may not stand on the queen's side. In this way, the prestige of the Zhonggong would be lost.
Under various considerations, Yi Xiu chose to stand by and watch Xia Dongchun be disabled. Concubine Hua's methods are more vicious, the more can show the gentleness and tolerance of the queen.
But she did not give up the opportunity to take advantage of this matter, and soon reported to the emperor that Concubine Hua had maimed the new concubine and concubine. But Yongzheng obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and no one cared about Xia Dongchun's life or death.
has a good family background, and she is domineering and domineering. She does not know how to protect herself in an unfamiliar environment but frequently kills herself. eventually became the first victim of this palace battle. The doomed ending of
Yixiu's selfish and indifferent character was vividly displayed in the torture incident of Xia Dongchun. Judging from the later episodes, Yi Xiu not only didn't care about Xia Dongchun's life and death, but was really mean and unkind to the rest of the people who depended on him.
Concubine Qi has been respectful to Yi Xiu since she was in the palace, but she was forced to hang herself after "killing her mother and taking her son"; They were given contraceptive decoction and red musk beads, and never allowed them to get pregnant.
On the other hand, her biggest opponent, Zhen Huan, treats everyone who relies on her with sincerity and knows how to maximize the collective interests of the team. For example, Duanfei and Jingfei want to have children to protect their old age, Xinguiren wants to be the head of the first palace and no longer be bullied, Huanbi wants to be the king of Guojun Fujin, and Zhen Huan is almost fullmeet the demands of these people.
Character determines fate. Throughout Yixiu's life, he has only truly loved three people: his mother, Yongzheng, and his son. For her, the remaining people in this world are either used to drain the last ounce of value and then abandoned, or she is persecuted to death in various forms. People like
naturally can't get the sincere love of others. Therefore, in the later stage of the plot, Yixiu people betrayed their relatives and lost their hearts, and it became a matter of course that had no power to fight back against the suppression of the Zhen Huan Party.
, especially the sentence she threw out after the death of Mrs. Qi, "she is useless, that's why she died", made An Lingrong, who has always been heartfelt, shuddered, and began to hate her heart. The birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys cook.
An Lingrong knew that his fate would not be much better than that of Mrs. Qi. In the last meeting with Zhen Huan, he told the biggest secret of "the queen killed the queen", gave Zhen Huan a deadly trump card .
Yixiu lost the most important queen position in the end, and her beloved said that she "will never see each other again". Her ending was doomed from the beginning.
