Daoguang in Qing Dynasty had a very timid concubine who was scared to death. How did this happen?

There are really people in this world who are scared to death.

I heard a true story from a friend: a father stole a bundle of straw from someone else's house and his son saw it. His son casually said, I'll tell others. You stole it. ? Father hanged himself in fear. His son is now over 60 years old. Whenever he mentions this matter, he says painfully, why are you so timid? ? More people were scared to death in history, from Zhang Fei to concubines.

Today we will talk about the princess who was scared to death in history.

This concubine is very ordinary, because she is associated with Yuanmingyuan, leaving a trace in history.

She is Daoguang's concubine? Chang Fei. Born in the 13th year of Jiaqing (1808) on November 15th, Hersairi Hala Manchu Zhenghuang Banner is decorated. /kloc-when she was 0/9 years old, she entered the palace and married her 26-year-old sister Daoguang, who was made a noble and later became a princess and concubine. The husband she married is a man who loves to dig his brains out. The mere mention of him reminds people? Miser? 、? Cheap? . He dug so hard that he didn't even have enough to eat. He held a birthday party for the queen, and each person only had a bowl of noodles with gravy.

Chang Fei's first three years in the palace were OK.

According to the regulations of the harem in Qing dynasty, what is the daily living standard of the nobles? 6 kg of pork, 0/5 plate of sheep/kloc (per month), 8 chickens and ducks (per month), 2 kg of rice 1 liter, 2 kg of white flour, 2 kg of sugar, 3.25 yuan of sesame oil, 8 kg of bean curd 1 kg, 8 kg of powder pot residue, 6 kg of sweet noodle sauce, 2 kg of vinegar and 6 kg of fresh vegetables. .

But then she somehow offended Daoguang, and at the age of 22, she was demoted to an honorable person. Daoguang revised the living standard of the harem, allowing only the Empress Dowager and Empress to eat meat every day, and other harem women are not allowed to eat meat on holidays. Concubines are not allowed to wear gorgeous clothes at ordinary times. All women in the harem should learn to sew and patch their clothes when they are broken. Chang Fei's life is even more miserable. After nearly 30 years of suffering, Daoguang died of illness and the new emperor Xianfeng ascended the throne. Chang Fei was made a concubine and lived a normal life.

The end of foreign invasion in Yuanmingyuan

Xianfeng had no children or daughters for ten years in the summer. She was bored, afraid of the heat and loved to take a bath. She went to Yuanmingyuan for the summer as usual. 1860 10 In October, the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing from Andingmen. Xianfeng has already fled to chengde mountain resort, Chang Fei is not favored. She didn't give birth to a man and a woman to Daoguang, so she was in a humble position and had no chance to escape with Xianfeng. She lives in Qichun Garden in Yuanmingyuan.

Then the British and French allied forces invaded Yuanmingyuan, and the chief minister threw himself into the sea, and the Qing soldiers fled in all directions. Foreigners looted Yuanmingyuan, and the British sent 200 cavalry and an infantry regiment to plunder Yuanmingyuan. Chang Fei, who lives in the palace all the year round, has never seen anything like this, just staying there. She saw these fierce foreigners, all with yellow hair and blue eyes, robbing, killing and setting fire like demons. She was frightened and hung up directly. She was 53 years old (August 23rd, 10th year of Xianfeng)

Chang Fei was hastily buried.

Emperor Xianfeng was anxious, angry and annoyed when he received the notice. A royal empresses was scared to death, saying it was against royal etiquette and was laughed at by everyone. He asked for punishment of officials who escaped, and ordered eunuchs and others to bury Chang Fei properly. At that time, the British and French allied forces were running around the Yuanmingyuan, and the organizers could not transport the colorful coffins into the garden at all. Emperor Xianfeng had to put it on hold. However, in midsummer, Chang Fei died in the corpse garden, and the body quickly rotted. Xianfeng emperor helpless, imperial edict yue:

Do whatever you want, and don't be extravagant, which will lead to other changes. ?

How dare the contractor waste money? How can there be money and extravagance? The money has been robbed by the British and French allied forces! Chang Fei has been dead for a month. On September 23, the undertaker secretly hired dozens of husbands, covered colorful coffins with red pythons and silks and satins in the dark, and hurried to attend the funeral. Then, with 32 people, they came to Tamura's temporary security office and buried them hastily. As the emperor's concubine, such treatment is unique in history.
