The mystery of the woman lying next to Qianlong's royal concubine's grave revealed a shocking secret

After finding the noble concubine's grave, people were extremely surprised to discover that there was another woman's grave next to it. It was this woman's identity that opened up a scandal that King Qianlong had wanted to hide for a long time.

China's feudal dynasty has long passed, but the mysteries of the old era still make many people today interested and curious. Especially the shocking story of Queen Ke of King Qianlong - the only queen of the Qing Dynasty who did not have a posthumous name after her death.

Qingdong Tomb is a complex of royal mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty located in Xunhua, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, China. This is the burial place of 5 emperors: Shun Tri, Khang Hi, Qian Long, Ham Phong, Dong Tri, along with 15 queens, 136 concubines, 3 princes and 2 princesses of the Qing Dynasty.

Around the 1980s, archaeologists explored the tomb of King Qianlong and discovered the tomb of a concubine named Thuan Phi (Thuan Hue Hoang Quy Phi). However, the most surprising thing is that another tomb containing a woman was found next to Thuan Phi's grave. It was this woman's identity that opened up a scandal that King Qianlong had wanted to hide for a long time.

When finding another woman's grave next to Thuan Phi's grave, archaeologists did not know the identity of this person. Is this woman related to Thuan Phi?

It is known that Thuan Phi had a beautiful beauty and was once favored by King Qianlong, but later, the two sons she gave birth to did not receive the love of their father, and one was disqualified from succeeding the throne. the person who was made the heir to the royal family. After that, Thuan Phi did not receive the king's attention anymore. Therefore, the woman buried next to Thuan Phi was definitely not the woman that King Qianlong loved.

Only later did posterity find out the identity of this woman. That is the second queen of King Qianlong: Queen Ke (also known as O Lat Na La, Queen Na La, Queen Nhu Y). So why was a mother who respected the world and had a noble status buried next to a person with a lower status than her, and the grave was not taken care of properly and properly?

Before being ordained queen, O La Na La was originally Nhan Phi. Thanks to her ability to manage the harem, she was appointed by King Qianlong's mother as his successor after Queen Phu Sat passed away, and was appointed Queen Ke.

However, King Qianlong did not have much affection for this second queen. However, Queen Ke has never done anything too outrageous to make the emperor disgusted, and always loves and respects each other. Furthermore, she is also a talented woman, not only beautiful but also intelligent, sharp and humane.

good, admired by many people.

Tragedy only happened when King Qianlong wanted to patrol the south. For unknown reasons, Queen Ke suddenly decided to cut her hair right in front of the king. This is inherently taboo, especially for women, except when there is a funeral in the house. Therefore, this action is considered blasphemy. Before cutting her hair, Queen Ke also chased all the maids and guards out to avoid involving them.

Later, many people began to speculate about the reason why Queen Ke personally cut her hair. Some people think that she was disgusted with the secular world, hated Qianlong, and did not want to fight in the harem, so she cut her hair and became a monk. Some people believe that Queen Ke did so because she felt dissatisfied with being disgraced by the king and objected to Qian Long's action of accepting prostitutes as concubines. Until now, that reason is still unclear.

However, at that time, this immoral act made King Qianlong extremely angry, immediately placing Queen Ke under house arrest and revoking her four titles. On August 19, 1766, Queen Ke passed away in her palace. At that time, the Qianlong emperor was hunting at the Hua Mulan hunting area. He heard the news of his wife's death but did not postpone the hunting trip. He also ordered his 12th son to return to the palace to resolve the matter. family.

By order of King Qianlong, Queen Ke's funeral was held like the funeral of Royal Highness. However, in reality, the funeral was greatly simplified, not at all grandiose for the position of a queen. Queen Ke's coffin was also made from cheap wood. After she was buried next to Concubine Thuan's grave, the emperor did not allow a tablet to be established and destroyed all documents related to Queen Ke. People speculate that the mystery behind Qianlong's fall from grace with Queen Ke and her death is much greater, unfortunately there are almost no recorded documents left.

When Queen Ke passed away, King Qianlong gave clear instructions: "The Queen's temper changed and she could not maintain filial piety towards the Queen Mother. When she arrived in Hangzhou, she acted wrongly and acted crazy. About the funeral , of course we can't just follow Queen Hieu Hien's instructions, so we should follow the royal noble concubine's burial rules."

The next queen was the only queen of the Qing Dynasty who was not allowed to leave her name behind, and the posthumous remains to honor her also no longer exist. Her funeral was poorly organized, buried next to a noble concubine, without a tablet, just like an anonymous palace maid. When discovered by posterity, Queen Ke's tomb was much more shabby and desolate than the tomb of Thuan Phi next to her. The sarcophagus was rotten and the top was dilapidated, making many people unable to help but feel sorry for the deceased. model of the world.
