Chapter 616: Hai Lanzhu

Speaking of the love story of Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu from ancient times to the present, there is an expression, that is, Huang Taiji's deep love for Hai Lanzhu has surpassed life and death, and can even be said to have surpassed the limit.

Although Hai Lanzhu has been married, but Huang Taiji's love for her is more than any mother, any concubine, including the beautiful, luxurious, and empathetic queen, Hai Lanzhu is the famous concubine in history, Huang Taiji's love for Hai Lanzhu made him pour out all his true feelings, this is a tear-jerking and touching love story.

Huang Taiji has a total of eight concubines, five of whom are Mongolians, accounting for more than half, which is the political need of Huang Taiji to Fushun Mongolia to attack the Ming Dynasty. But Huang Taiji's three favorite concubines, the queen, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen, are all a family among the Mongolians, which already has a certain emotional color, and his love for Concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu can be said to have reached the point of infatuation.

Hai Lanzhu is the daughter of Korqin Bel Zhaisang in Mongolia and the sister of Wu Keshan, the prince of Zhuoliktu, whose surname is Borzigit. She is the niece of Empress Zhezhe of Huang Taiji Qingning Palace, the sister of Concubine Bumu Butai of Yongfu Palace, and married Huang Taiji as a concubine accompanied by his brother Wu Keshan.

At that time, Huang Taiji's youngest brother Duoduo first thought that he wanted to marry the youngest daughter of Concubine Horqin, who was Zhezhe's own sister. Huang Taiji initially disagreed, because he heard that this woman was not very talented, and Duoduo was pampered since childhood, arrogant, debauched, and very willful, I was afraid that the two would not get along, causing unhappiness.

This time, Concubine Horqin came in person, not only to take her daughter to run for relatives, but also to deliberately let Duoduo look at the little girl. After Duoduo saw each other, he fell in love even more, and Huang Taiji couldn't bear to go against the wishes of the younger brother left by Khan's father, and he didn't want to contradict the younger brother for the sake of favoritism. After repeated consideration, Huang Taiji was ready to agree to this marriage.

Huang Taiji led the concubine to visit the tent of the second concubine of Horqin, the second concubine's warm hospitality, due to the presence of the concubine, all the female dependents appeared to undertake the reception, Hai Lanzhu also followed to meet her aunt Zhezhe, and her sister Bumu Butai Da Yuer met. For Huang Taiji, who is both a brother-in-law and a brother-in-law, Hai Lanzhu will of course also greet him.

Hai Lanzhu is a well-read, virtuous, dignified and very beautiful girl, but among many Mongolian girls, she is even more slender and delicate, fair-skinned and delicate, charming and moving. And at that time, most girls got married in their teens, Hai Lanzhu was twenty-five years old at the time, Hai Lanzhu had been married once, and Hai Lanzhu at this moment was more mature and beautiful. Since ancient times, heroes love beauties, Huang Taiji is love at first sight for Hai Lanzhu, and the visit of the eldest concubine and the second concubine also determined the marriage relationship between Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu.

Hai Lanzhu married Huang Taiji as a concubine accompanied by her brother Wu Keshan, and was named the concubine of Guan Ju Palace by Huang Taiji, and became the master of Guan Ju Palace, second only to the queen of the Middle Palace. Guan Ju Palace, from the "Book of Songs" Guan Ju dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman good sentence, is the emperor Taiji love for the concubine, and for the symbol of the most moving true feelings.

Concubine Chen entered the palace for more than two years and gave birth to a boy for Huang Taiji, that is, the eighth son of Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji was very happy, convened the civil and military ministers, and issued an amnesty decree. Favorite concubines give birth to children, amnesty to the world, this is an unruly thing, only the queen has this honor. But Huang Taiji has a deep affection for Concubine Chen, and he is only willing to stay with her for the rest of his life, and the son she gave birth to will inherit the throne in the future, so he is so prosperous.

Huang Taiji also named Concubine Chen's mother as Concubine Heshuo Xian, rewarded the guard of honor, and rewarded the Horqin Borzigit clan. Except for the Aixin Jueluo family, there is only one reward, and everyone knows that this is because of Concubine Chen. Who knew that this child was born only half a year ago, and died before he could name it, and Huang Taiji was very sad. Of course, Concubine Chen herself was even more hurt, mourning her dead child day and night, and she was greatly injured, of course, Huang Taiji's love for her did not decrease slightly, but he pitied her more and caressed her, hoping to share her worries and recover her health.

Huang Taiji personally led the army to attack Songshan and Xingshan in the Ming Dynasty, and set up camp ten miles northwest of Songshan City. One day, the ministers of the DPRK and China, Manduli and Mu Chengge, came to the barracks from Shengjing and reported the news of Concubine Chen's illness. Huang Taiji immediately convened a military meeting and made specific arrangements for the siege of Xingshan and other places, and then he set off to return to Shengjing.

But he has not returned to Shengjing, Hai Lanzhu has been destined to return to the West Heaven, Huang Taiji was grief-stricken after hearing about it, and the ministers advised him to mourn, but the effect was not great, he still did not think about tea and food, and the queen, palace concubines and ministers all prayed for him.

One day at noon, Huang Taiji suddenly fell unconscious, talking nonsense non-stop, and almost all the nonsense was calling Hai Lanzhu. The concubines and ministers were very frightened, and hurriedly set up sacrifices in front of the statue and prayed, and after a long time, Huang Taiji woke up. The ministers told him about his unconscious nonsense, and Huang Taiji began to be shocked.

Huang Taiji said: "When Taizu died of illness, I didn't have such grief, how can I live for a woman?"

Later, when Huang Taiji went out hunting and passed by Concubine Chen's cemetery, he still couldn't control himself and cried loudly, which shows the depth of Huang Taiji's feelings for Concubine Chen. In order to express the mourning of the concubine, Huang Taiji held a grand funeral for Concubine Chen, and gave the nicknames Min Huigong and Yuan Fei, which is the largest number of words in the concubine name of the Qing Dynasty. But after Concubine Chen was buried, Huang Taiji still grieved from time to time because of the nostalgia for Concubine Chen.

When the ministers saw him like that, they persuaded him: "The emperor lives in the deep palace every day, and his sad mood has not been completely eliminated, so it is better to go out hunting and change his mood." ”

Huang Taiji listened to everyone's advice, so he went out hunting with his ministers, and when he walked to the bank of the Pu River and saw the grave of Concubine Chen, he began to cry bitterly again. After that, Huang Taiji never returned to the battlefield, ending his journey of more than 40 years. Every time he went hunting, he would pass by the cemetery of Concubine Chen, always dismount and stand, mourn in silence for a long time, drink with tea and wine, and weep bitterly.

Huang Taiji's eloquence can be roughly said to be the hero of the world, an emperor who sees and gallops the field with martial arts, has such a sincere love for children, which is really refreshing, which also shows that the emperor is a man, not a god. He went to the battlefield to fight in person, and he didn't leave the battlefield when he shed blood and sacrificed, but he left the battlefield forever for the sake of Concubine Chen, when he couldn't leave the battlefield at the most time. At the beginning, the command on the battlefield was determined and strategized, but at this time, it disappeared with the death of Hai Lanzhu.

But the most touching thing in the world is the tenderness of this iron man, and the soul of Concubine Chen, which makes Huang Taiji unable to extricate himself. Since the death of Concubine Chen, Huang Taiji has frequently held various festivals and activities, and invited monks and Taoists to preach and chant for Concubine Chen, transcending the soul of the dead. The sacrificial text written by Huang Taiji himself is sincere and tear-jerking.

The Songjin War was frequent, and the four important towns outside the customs all belonged to the Qing Dynasty, and the obstacles outside the customs were removed, so the division entered the customs and chased the Central Plains is just around the corner. However, the joy of the victory in the war did not seem to be able to wash away Huang Taiji's sadness, and the longing for Concubine Chen and the inexplicable sorrow seriously damaged Huang Taiji's health, so that his body was weakening day by day, and it was difficult to even handle the daily government affairs in person. Two years after Concubine Chen's death, Huang Taiji was also terminally ill and died in Qingning Palace, and his soul pursued Concubine Chen at the age of fifty-two.

It is recorded that Huang Taiji collapsed without illness, and how can he be regarded as dying without illness at the age of 52? But one thing is certain, the early death of Concubine Hai Lanzhu is a very important reason.

Huang Taiji abolished the old clan name Jurchen, named the clan Manchuria, subjugated Monan, and Lin Dan Khan's son Ezhe presented the heirloom jade seal that Emperor Yuan Shun took away when he left the Central Plains. In the same year, Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor and changed the name of the country to Jin to the Great Qing Dynasty, formally established the Qing Dynasty, changed the name of the era to Chongde, and submitted to the Li dynasty.

The Battle of Songjin broke out in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hong Chengchou was captured in Songshan, and Zu Dashou surrendered in Jinzhou. The Battle of Songjin marked the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty's defense system in Liaodong, leaving only Ningyuan as an isolated city outside the pass. Huang Taiji died of illness, and was succeeded by the ninth son, Fulin, who was the Shunzhi Emperor and was regent by his uncle Dolgon.
