Why was Kangxi not buried in Xiaozhuang thirty years later?

Let's start with Xiaozhuang. In fact, the full name of Xiaozhuang is "Xiaozhuang Chengyi to Dechun Apocalypse". The correct name should be Xiaozhuang, and Xiaozhuang is just an abbreviation. Xiao Zhuang, formerly known as "Borzijit Bumubutai" (meaning bottle in Mongolian), was born in Horqin Department in 16 13, belonging to Borzijit Banner. It's the daughter of Horqin Baylor Borzijit Bubu!

When Bumu Butai 12 years old, she married the eighth son of the late Jin Khan Nurhachi as a side princess. After he acceded to the throne, Bumu Butai was called Zhuang Fei. When he died, after Kangxi succeeded to the throne, he was called Bumu Butai.

It stands to reason that Kangxi and Xiaozhuang are separated by two generations, and the ruling family has never had any feelings. Kangxi should not have feelings of leaving Xiaozhuang, but on the contrary, because he was taught by Xiaozhuang since childhood, Kangxi has great respect for Xiaozhuang, an old woman, and has deep feelings for Xiaozhuang!

After the death of Xiao Zhuang, Kangxi, as a superior country, insisted on violating the ancestral teachings and gave Xiao Zhuang three years of filial piety. Kangxi insisted on mourning for Xiaozhuang for two years, even though Mingzhu and other etiquette strongly resisted. Kangxi's behavior, in addition to purely to honor his respected grandmother, is more of a compensation.

At the beginning of Fu Lin's reign, his position was very unstable. In order to ensure the stable position of Fu Lin and keep the blood of the first emperor, Xiao Zhuang did something detrimental to his reputation (that is, it was widely rumored that Xiao Zhuang married Dourgen and wooed Dourgen to protect Fu Lin).

No matter whether the rumor is true or not, Kangxi, as the son of Fu Lin, naturally feels grateful and guilty for granny Xiaozhuang. Especially due to the influence of secular ideas, Xiaozhuang could not be buried with Taizong. This inexplicable humiliation became the eternal pain in Kangxi's heart. Kangxi was also opinionated for the first time.

When Xiao Zhuang, 75, died, the only requirement for Kangxi was not to be buried with the first emperor, but to be buried in the tomb of Zhao Qianling in the west of Shengjing. As for Xiao Zhuang's request, it is widely speculated that Xiao Zhuang was unwilling to be buried with the first emperor because he still cared about Dourgen. The so-called long mouth is the most difficult to block.

Kangxi also thought that it was difficult for Xiao Zhuang not to be buried with the first emperor. He just didn't want to go against his grandmother Xiao Zhuang's wishes, and he didn't want to go against the ancestral system and bury Xiao Zhuang somewhere else instead of the first emperor.

Kangxi, who has a terrible headache, has a stubborn temper, so drag it on, hoping that one day he can have the best of both worlds and bury Xiaozhuang in the right place.

As a result, until the death of Kangxi, Xiao Zhuang's coffin stopped at the grave of his son Fu Lin (Shunzhi)! It was not until 27 months after the death of Kangxi, that is, the third year of Yongzheng, that the construction of Zhao Qianling was started.

At this moment, thirty years have passed since Xiaozhuang died. What Kangxi couldn't solve was left to his son Yongzheng to solve, and it took 30 years to really let Xiaozhuang rest in peace!
