The day of the first sacrifice of the funeral was calculated by the Qin Tianjian and selected on the twenty-ninth day of September, which was the day, under the personal leadership of Huang Taiji, the prince Baylor, the civil and military officials, the vassals and all the concubines of the harem, including the queen, must go to the parking place of the Wulizi Palace outside the gate of Shengjing to participate in the memorial.

The emperor decreed: "The emperor sacrificed to the concubine of Guan Ju Palace, who was born in the year of Yiyou, and lived for thirty years, and died on September 18 of the year of Xin. I have met Er, I am deeply affectionate, I want to enjoy the wealth together, I do not mean the speed of the heavens, the middle way is gone, I remember the love before my death, although I have not forgotten, the remembrance and sigh, is to prepare the sacrifice, to express my heart, still order the lama monk to recite the scriptures, may you be blessed as soon as possible. ”
After reading the sacrificial text, Huang Taiji had already cried silently, and he wanted to stop Concubine Chen's coffin for burial several times, but he was strongly dissuaded by Queen Zhezhe and the ministers.
The ancestor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be comforted by the law: "The emperor is the respect of all vehicles, relying on China and foreign countries, and now the emperor is too sad, and the ministers and workers cannot be at ease. ”
The other ministers all knelt down and asked the emperor to mourn and change, and finally, Huang Taiji personally poured wine in front of the tomb of Concubine Chen, and the ministers of the kings and the envoys of foreign vassal countries also paid tribute.
Endless lovesickness, endless sorrow, the years to come, are spent in the New Year's festival in the funeral, even when the ancestors are sacrificed, Huang Taiji is also bound to bring the queen Zhezhe and the civil and military officials to pay tribute to the concubine, even the first emperor has not enjoyed such an honor, but a concubine is almost offered.
In October, Huang Taiji posthumously conferred the late Concubine Chen as the "Yuan Concubine", and called "Min Huigong and the Yuan Concubine", and held a grand posthumous ceremony.
The posthumous seal system said: "Fengtian carrier, Kuanwen human voice emperor system said, Weierguan Jugong Concubine Chen, Bingde Roujia, bow and be cautious, since serving me, the pot is very important." In the first year of Chongde, Feng Er was the concubine of Guan Ju Palace, now imitating the classics, adding posthumous gifts, Chong called Long, Comfort Er ghost, Yide Huiyin, Yang Yu Hou worship, posthumously named Min Huigong and Yuan Concubine. I know a few things, and I will take my life. ”
The imperial commander who fought on the battlefield in the past, was eloquent and resolute, and could not withstand the "heroic shortness of breath and the love of children and daughters", the feared king became a gentle and amorous infatuated man, Su Mo'er had never seen such an emperor Taiji.
When he was secretly summoned and invited to work with her, there was a firm belief in his eyes, but at this time, Huang Taiji only had infinite tenderness and vicissitudes in his eyes, he loved the country but loved the beauty more.
On February 18 of the seventh year of Chongde, the Ming army was defeated, Hong Chengchou and Zu Dale were defeated and captured to Shengjing, on March 8, Zu Dashou led his troops to surrender the city, and the Qing army occupied Jinzhou, on April 22, the Qing army broke through Songshan, Jinzhou and Xingshan three cities with red-coated artillery, but the victory of the battle of Songjin still did not bring too much joy to Huang Taiji.
His back became lonely, often staying alone in the Guanju Palace to see things and think about people, staying all day, not eating or drinking, his body was getting thinner and thinner, even the celebration banquet Emperor Taiji was not allowed to sing and dance, some uninteresting officials and soldiers were actually cut and demoted, and some were punished.
One day, Huang Taiji walked out of Guan Ju Palace, unconsciously returned to Qingning Palace, Queen Zhezhe was surprised to see the emperor who came back suddenly, and quickly ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a light lotus seed soup, Huang Taiji seemed to be extremely tired, sitting on the kang slightly leaning on the desk, closing his eyes and concentrating.
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, since Concubine Chen has gone, the emperor should mourn and change." The empress looked at the emperor and said bravely.
Huang Taiji's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened slowly, looked at Queen Zhezhe, and then said: "In my life, I have loved many people and failed many people, but I have never loved a person so deeply, Concubine Yuan is the first and the last in my life, only she has brought me many different happiness, so that I am like a spring breeze." ”
"Chen...... Concubine Yuan is virtuous and virtuous, and she is indeed a rare virtuous person. ”
"I still remember the seven years of Tiancong, when she came to Shengjing with Concubine Horqin and her party, dignified and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, that glance, it made my heart move for a lifetime, I fell in love with someone at a glance, but I have to spend my life to forget, she never asked me for anything, but often worried about my diet and warmth, there are clothes in the palace, but she always loves to sew by herself, and pours love into my dragon robe."
"The emperor always loves someone for his own reasons."
"But I haven't had time to love her properly, but she's already dead, who will tell me about those bizarre things in the future? Who's going to give me a lecture on the building that can pick up the stars? Who's going to tell me about the carriage that I can run? I haven't heard enough, how can she go first without my permission? ”
When it comes to Concubine Chen, Huang Taiji is always in good spirits and then depressed, and Queen Zhezhe has to stay by his side, supervising his diet, just like watching a child who doesn't grow up.
At this point, Huang Taiji was no longer able to take charge of the government, and the political affairs were decided by the meeting of Prince Zheng Zierharang, Prince Rui Dolgon, and Prince Su Haoge, and the emperor's handover of power invisibly intensified the original undercurrent in the darkness.
The New Year's Day of the eighth year of Chongde is the only year of the relatively cold New Year, because the emperor bows to the discord, exempt from the congratulatory ceremony, at this time the five-year-old emperor and the ninth son of Fulin, has been well versed in the world, but does not know about the affairs of the court, and does not know that under the appearance of peace at the moment, there is a conspiracy to hide each ghost, ready to move.
In April, Huang Taiji's condition worsened and he had to stay in bed, and Empress Zhezhe ordered people to go to the major temples in Shengjing to pray for blessings, praying that the gods would bless the Son of Heaven to get through the difficulties.
But it seems to be to no avail, Huang Taiji gradually weakened his consciousness, his life was dying, and he was in danger of dying at any time, and finally in the infinite remembrance and mourning, on the eighth day of August in the eighth year of Chongde, the emperor died of illness when he sat on the kang of Qingning Palace, at the age of fifty-two, he finally got his wish and followed his concubine.
But it also left one of the biggest disputes: the first emperor did not set up a storage room.
The biggest contenders were the emperor's eldest son, Prince Su Haoge, the younger brother of the first emperor, Prince Rui Dolgon, and a neutral faction, Prince Zheng Zierharang, the owner of the blue banner.
The two yellow flags commanded by the first emperor wanted to establish a prince, and Hauge's own blue flag must also support him, and the Minister of the Interior, Sonny, and the Minister of Guards, Turai, openly supported the emperor's eldest son, Hauge, and Zilharang seemed to be neutral, but secretly supported him.
In addition to the two white flags behind Dolgon, there are also the forces of his brothers Duoduo and Azig, plus the support of some clansmen in the Zhenghuang Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Zhenghongqi, and the Prince of Boli Daishan is also biased towards Dolgon.
Both sides want to establish themselves as kings.
