Revealin.g the immoral love affair of Qianlong, making Empress Fuca desperate

Known as the most playboy and womanize.r Emperor of the Qing Dynasty with a harem of 3,000 beauties, Qianlong went so far as to steal another man's wife, which was truly shameful.

Qianlong and the secret of two shameful immoral love affairs

First of all, we must mention the secret love affair between Qianlong and the wife of Grand Scholar Fu Heng. Fu Heng was from the Fuca clan, a famous and powerful clan under the Qing Dynasty. He was the younger brother of Empress Fuca and was also someone Qianlong trusted.

According to "The Outer History of the Great Qing", Qianlong highly valued Fu Heng and then took over his brother-in-law's wife. Even the Qing History Gao has some details showing that Qianlong rewarded Fu Heng on many occasions and did not forget to show special favors to his wife. However, because it is official history, the Qing History Gao does not directly acknowledge this "ambiguous" relationship.

Fu Heng's wife was the number one Manchu beauty, Gua Er Jia, of the Nara clan. The Nara clan was originally one of the eight largest clans of the Qing Dynasty, including four clans with the same illustrious origin: Kadanna, Ula Nala, Huifa Nala, and Yehe Nala.

Some typical names of this family include Empress Dowager Nhan Tho, Empress Dowager Tu Hi... or right in "Story of Yanxi Palace" is the character of Empress Ke - Imperial Noble Consort Nhan, who comes from the Ula Nala clan.

Shameful Night of Thieves

As the sister-in-law of Empress Fuca, Lady Gua Erjia often traveled around the palace. In the spring of the 17th year of the Qianlong reign (1752), Emperor Qianlong brought Empress Dowager Chongqing, Empress Fuca, and concubines, including Lady Gua Erjia, to the Yuanming Garden to enjoy the spring scenery.

The first time Qianlong met her, he was captivated by her beauty. Later, even though he knew she was his brother-in-law's wife, the Emperor still did not give up his hope of being close to the beauty.

On the occasion of the Empress's birthday, Qianlong ordered a banquet in the palace, and Lady Gua Erjia also attended. He used the excuse of reciting poetry, and if anyone did not know how to recite poetry, they would be punished with drinking alcohol. Because she did not know how to drink alcohol, Lady Gua Erjia got drunk after only a few cups.

Seeing this, Qianlong ordered a palace maid to take Lady Fu to another room to rest. Afterwards, the Emperor found an excuse to leave the party and secretly had an affair with Lady Gua Erjia. It is worth mentioning that this illicit affair lasted for 2 years and resulted in the birth of Fu Kang'an. However, later on, the relationship between Qianlong and Lady Gua Erjia became increasingly blurred.

Speaking of Fuk'ang's background, it was indeed very special. First of all, although he was Fu Heng's son, his name was personally given by Qianlong. According to Qing history, Fuk'ang was a minister that Qianlong favored very much, perhaps not inferior to He Shen.

From a very young ag.e (12 years old), Phuc Khang An was highly regarded by Can Long, assigned to manage the guard team and brought to the palace for education. Of course, Phuc Khang An's official career from then on also advanced rapidly.

What is more noteworthy is that in addition to the important positions, Fuk'ang'an was also specially granted the title of Beizi (a title reserved only for the royal family). After Fuk'ang'an passed away, Qianlong was extremely saddened and posthumously granted him the title of Prince, which is also a title reserved only for princes.

Fu Kang An's brothers, Fu Ling An, Fu Long An, and Fu Chang An, were all given their daughters in marriage by Emperor Qianlong and made his sons-in-law. Only Fu Kang An, although favored, was not allowed to marry a princess.

The Mystery of the Deat.h of Empress Fuca

Some sources say that Empress Fuca discovered the relationship between Qianlong and her sister-in-law. Although she deeply resented Qianlong, she had to endure and turn a blind eye. During her southern tour, she and Qianlong passed through Zhili and Hangzhou.

Here, the Empress mentioned the affair between Qianlong and Fu Heng's wife and severely scolded her. Qianlong was so angry that he accidentally pushed Fuca into the water, causing her to drown.

But other sources say that Empress Fuca and Qianlong toured the South. There, witnessing Qianlong's womanizing and debaucher.y, the Empress tried to persuade him to leave, so she left by banging her head against a boat pillar or throwing herself.

However, all of the above information is not true. First of all, according to Qing history, Empress Fuca never once accompanied Qianlong on a tour of Jiangnan, but only went on a tour of the East. On the other hand, Qianlong's tour of Jiangnan was mainly for entertainment and pleasur.e, there was no reason to bring the Empress along to hinder it.

In fact, Empress Fuca's suicid.e was just a story fabricated based on the deat.h of Cheng Qin, another concubine of Qianlong. According to Qing history, in the 49th year of Qianlong's reign (1784), Qianlong was touring the South by boat, and Cheng Qin followed him, accidentally fell into the water and drowne.d. Thus, the person who drowne.d here was another concubine of Qianlong, not Empress Fuca as some current information shows.

Criticizable love affair with daughter-in-law

According to "The Thirteen Dynasties of Qing Palace", Qianlong also had another unacceptable relationship with his own daughter-in-law, the wife of Prince Yongcheng, also known as Dadali County King (1739-1777) - Qianlong's eldest son, who died early without leaving any heir.

The first wife of Yongcheng was named Xuan A, surnamed Niu Hulu, and was extremely beautiful. Her appearance was described as having a fair complexion and fair ski.n, graceful demeanor, and was a peerless beauty. When she spoke, her lips smiled and her eyes squinted, her tongue was quick, and she was extremely charming, and she even had some resemblance to the imperial concubine Xiang.

Qianlong was enchanted by Xuan A's beauty upon first meeting her, so he kept her in the palace and did not allow her to return to the royal palace. Qianlong said to Yongcheng: "This daughter-in-law of mine is really good at talking. You (Yongcheng) should let her into the palace for a while. The Empress Dowager is lacking someone to keep her company so she can have fun and have fun. If so, I am a filial son and you are a good grandson."

Prince Vinh Thanh knew that Can Long had bad intentions but could not disobey the order, so he had to leave in resentment. Not long after, Vinh Thanh died, Can Long transferred Xuan A to the palace and made her a concubine.

It can be said that Qianlong was a talented king but also had many flaws. His womanizing made him famous in history, leaving behind many legends among the people, but he also had "ambiguous" relationships, which were extremely blameworthy.
