A psychic told me I had 6 lives here on Earth, so I asked about them. She said that I was a King, a Queen and a peasant I forgot the others. She said that I look at my arms and hands (something like that) that I know I should have a lot of jewelry on. My best life was the peasant life!
No I don't think so. If an empress has a strong family backing her and she played her cards well and got herself involved in court then she would have a comfortable life though involved in a lot of schemes she would live to become very powerful even more than the emperor. She would become an empress dowager. And the description you used was for the concubines.
Their family must be really something though - to be able to produce 3 empress. I guess the last one got tired of it. She's probably happier knowing her children will not be use in the power game.
Having to produce 3 empresses under their belt, others will definitely want to get rid of them obviously. They are a powerful and influential clan that's probably why a lot of people was envious of them.
@@pinkychoo9558 Three Empresses (four, if we include Hong Taiji's second primary wife and if Qianlong's wife is considered from Ula-Nara instead of Hoifa-Nara) it's not that great, especially when it never produced an Emperor, but Dorgon, and one of their Empresses is the only one in the history of the Qing Dynasty who didn't receive a posthumous title. No important government officials, no other imperial consort, a single secondary wife and two Princes Consort. Literally nothing special. The Yehe Nara had one Empress and two Empresses Mother. They also gave five imperial consorts, ten Princesses Consort (+ one secondary wife and four concubines) and six Princes Consort. The Tunggiya and the Khorchin Borjigit clans had three Empresses and an Empress Mother each. The Mongols also gave seven imperial consorts, nine Princesses Consort and 23 Princes Consort. The most impressive is the Niohuru, which had six Empresses, one of whom was also one of the two Empresses Mother from the clan, seven imperial consorts (one of whom was an Imperial Noble Consort), eight Princesses Consort (+ one secondary wife and a concubine), five Princes Consort and a big number of important officials.
This is why when I watch Magnificent Century (although that was about the Turkish Empire) I am not surprised that the sultana is ruthless and cunning. If you want to succeed or even survive, you have to use subterfuge and destroy your enemies. It's either you win or lose, all or nothing.
I watched Kosem from episode 1 to 17 and the remaining episodes were much so I decided to read the history on google and how it all ended. Empires and politics those days are no child's play and dangerous. If I was born during those era , I wouldn't envy them.
I watched both magnificent century and magnificent century kosem....yes for us it may seem that the concubines are using their sons as pawn but it's a struggle for survival
It is beyond this. At this time, when king died, their servants and whole bunch of people they want bury alive with him. This to make sure he is well served in the after life
@@annat6249 well yes that was a common practice. But we r saying that in life, the ula nara empresses lived tragic and stressful lives. Edit:sorry for the typos.
Extremely well done. Would be great if you can do a narration about Princess Hang Li Po who accompanied Admiral Zheng Ho to Malaya to be married to Sultan Mansur Shah. This humble story started the creation of the group of Malaysians called the "Baba", with their unique extremely delicious cooking ala Malay/Chinese. I am sure you will get a lot interest from people in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia watching this.
Doing such story would be very difficult. Because based on china history, no record of china emperor sent his princess to get married to sultan mansur. The identity of princess hang li poh itself is a mystery. Ming dynasty has their own rule of no letting princess to get marry to another country for politik purpose. Thus, possibility of hang li poh a princess of ming dynasty is close to 0.
@@dalohable In Qing Dynasty they adopted officials' daughters as princess and then marry them to other countries. Idk if this also happens in Ming dynasty. But if it does then maybe the princess was just an official's daughter.
From the meticulous Chinese historical records, there is no such person called Hang Li Po. The imperial surname of Ming dynasty was Zhu. Even if hang li po was a title, no title was found. Moreover, since Sung dynasty, chinese Emperor did not engage in heqin/marriage alliance. Moreover, the previous heqin marriage alliance was between equalled or favoured monarchs of neighbouring countries. At the time of Ming dynasty, Malacca was a tributary vassal state submissive to Ming empire. Totally out of league. Moreover, Imperial China never allowed women to travel out of their hometown, travelling oversea was out question. On top of that, an average Han family during Ming dynasty would not allow the marriage of their daughter a class lower than them, at that time, Malacca was considered barbarian in Ming dynasty. Totally out of league. Hence, the whole hang li po is a modern fabrication to boost malay supremacy.
Abahai could have made sure those concubines be buried with the husband. She never preplanned it because she must have been a good person and not a psychopath. It's too bad she didn't have her husband create a will!
This is strange... In drama Rebel Princess, the dying emperor ordered his favorite concubine to be buried alive with him. Yet, she was chosen the way to take her life (knife, poison, or hanging) and, once dead, she was buried with the emperor. But they say "buried alive"... so this must be some mistranslation.
In that drama, I believe in that drama, the empress dowager gave her the option to kill herself in those manner as a kind of mercy. Rather that being buried alive which would take days or maybe even weeks of suffering before succumbing to death.
@@sadeevans1969 no it didn't really matter but he did it to "safe" her cause apparently the empress's clan had less power then of the dowager and prime minister regents and etc. anyway the emperor's last title should be obeyed
I saw the drama...Rule the World, based on this history. It was accurate down to the relationship to Daishan. Nurachi was ugly af. The drama said that was the tradition though. Womens rights sucked back then
Interesting to have early Manchu history explained in English. Although some of the paintings used do not correspond with the people mentioned. For example the portrait when mentioned "Amin" is, according to the Arthur M Sackler Gallery, a portrait of Prince Lian Yinsu son of Emperor Kangxi. Abahai has no portrait according to the inventories of the Palace Museums in either Beijing and Shenyang. So I wonder who the lady is in the painting shown.
Thank you for a very interesting piece of Chinese history! The Ula-Nara women must have been, not only great beauties, but also highly intelligent as well!
This story reminds me of the drama (The Promise Of Chang'an) the story has three sons of the Emporer, one of them is very influential just like your story including the woman favored and held a lot of power. She had three sons and the Emporer did want them to succeed the throne but they were too young and to protect them she was forced by the brothers to commit suicide. The story almost being identical except for some events that are altered to appeal to the public watching.
promise of chang an is based on the 2003 drama xiaozhuang mishi which is literally this story told from the eyes of empress xiaozhuang who was hong taiji's wife and dorgon's lover
When that happens, you KNOW that they're Human Sacrifices. Not being forced to be with a dead master, but sacrificing to the Dark Side. Just like the Aztec.
why didn't the prince whom she had an affair with defend her? i mean they were both wrong to have that affair but since he was in power as one of the 4 princes, he should at least help spare her life by having her banished again instead.
@@ultravioletgaia I know but the original comment called the affair unethical so I simply pointed out that it can't be unethical since the husband is not committed to the relationship. My point of view :)
amazing narration! can you do on Thai royalty and also Japanese royalty? it'd be great to learn about other royal families apart from China and Korean royalty 🥺.
I always thought it was normal in the past for Emperors to have the entire harem buried with them, except for the Empress and/or the mother of the Crown Prince. Was it limited to favorites instead?
Yeah it was very common in ancient China. They had the Empress, whole harem, and close servants buried. I think the most brutal was the Khitan Emperors from Liao Dynasty.
i'm not sure which dynasties it applies to but imperial harem women that had had children get to stay in the harem (their titles become "previous rank + dowager") and the rest had to go to a temple as nuns
Power, title, and rank like these made people greedy... Full of hatred and curses! Oh my! This kind of life can't be envy nor wish for us to have... Simple and healthy life is always the best...
her history was super sad is interesting how Nara clan has been involved in so many historical issues in the Harem Al politics, I don't believe she was having an affair I guess that was a rumor to make her disappear maybe she was seeking good connections for her son's, plus that prince by rule was her official son. is amazing what envy can do to a person......
I have heated about the story of lasts of Mughal prince.... After running away when British destroyed the Mughal empire ,they never came back but someday the prince was caught in a case against him which was totally made uped, no one knew he was once a prince in the same court, but when they got to know , he was offered pension but he choose to remain poor and away from power , he didn't even wanted to assosiate with royals, the life of power in old days was too tragic , he saw his whole family die Infront of him, his mother died due to poverty .
probably the pensiom offered by the British came with a price ie become their puppet... would you accept? You know how the Hawaiian princess died in UK right? They poisoned her and now her Tragic story is made into a romantic Disney cartoon movie
I learnt that her sons with Nürhaci , Dodo,Dorgon, and Ajige are all formidable Manchu warriors eligible to Qing throne but ended as loyal regents and generals but also greatly suffered at the hand of shunzi emperor who is the son of hongtaiji the one force their mother to committed suicide and being able to be rehabilitated at qianlong reign......
" This is how Mary, Queen of Scots died for comparison. " At Fotheringhay, on the evening of 7 February 1587, Mary was told she was to be executed the next morning.[217] She spent the last hours of her life in prayer, distributing her belongings to her household, and writing her will and a letter to the King of France.[218] The scaffold that was erected in the Great Hall was draped in black cloth. It was reached by two or three steps, and furnished with the block, a cushion for her to kneel on, and three stools for her and the earls of Shrewsbury and Kent, who were there to witness the execution.[219]"
There's a really good TV drama called Xiaozhuang Epic. The story is told from the perspective of Xiaozhuang, who is the wife of Emperor Huang Taiji, Lover of Dorgon and Mother of Emperor Shunzhi.
I watched the historical period series “The Legend of Xiao Zhuang” and recommend others watching it if you are history buff and want to understand the origins of Qing dynasty formerly known as later Jin and Abahai’s is featured in the first episodes. I first watched the series on Amazon prime video and found it to be quite fascinating but dense in its historical context that I had to refer to historical books to follow the storyline.
Yeah this was even weird at this point in time. I mean as in this practice was looooong gone by the 1600s. As far as I can tell in my research, this practice was a really early ancient practice in China. Like BC early.
Doesn’t make sense the people who act like they don’t understand why she did the things she did. Most of it was driven by so called orders made before she was even born and practices that are still drawn out today. One example is how girls are not welcomed from birth and how some places put a cap on how many children a couple are “allowed” to have. Not to mention sex trafficking that seems to have always existed since the first dynasties not always focusing on females either. Other documentaries I’ve watched made for Wu says nothing about her being buried alive. One I’ve seen actually shows her grave that is only marked with a stake that has no caption....
How accurate that royal family in Qing very care about royal reputation, while the old dynasty every emperor and king beat the hell reputation out not even rebel dare only warlords. This is similar to lady zhen and Cao pi relationship not different much
Once again whether it is india or china from start to till date women's has to bear all the grudge and she has as to do all the sacrifices that y rather than marring a emperor or prince it is better to marry a common man.
Being born in a royalty or selected to be in royalty families, for me I don't see what so jealous about. As a human but live like a bird in a cage and die in a cage.
They are Manchurian not Chinese Han. Manchu is minor ethnic. Very different culture. And the comment below is more logic, although I do not read the history, that the empressed instructed to have self suicide by poison. Then, the body was burried with the emperor body.
Rubbish, she wasnt buried alive! I was listening to the narrator, ABahai was forced to commit suicide so she can be buried with the emperor. The titles we put to get a view..amazing@
I have watched way too many period dramas about concubines and I could say is that I'd rather be born to poverty than be born into a royal family!
I'd rather be born into the royal family. Women from poor families often get sold into prostitution.
I'd rather be King lolll
I would rather be born into wealthy family over being born into royalty.
Then you wouldnt have to suffer foot binding even though this was thought to be a tradition of beauty.

Very interesting. Yet, she was not exactly buried alive... she was forced to take her life and buried as a corpse already.

They are Manchurian not Chinese Han. Manchu is minor ethnic. Very different culture. And the comment below is more logic, although I do not read the history, that the empressed instructed to have self suicide by poison. Then, the body was burried with the emperor body.
I thought they were Jurchen??
@@aygulmemet4201 Juerchen is one of Manchu big family or surnane.
Sad history 😢 😞
She wasn't buried alive!
Wow 🤣🤣🤣
To be too close to the Power was a dangerous matter. Thousand of women all around the word were used as pawns in the political and dynastic play.
Por gentileza tradutores da história em PT BR seria interessante ouvir
nope... not buried alive.... buried dead.
Buried alive? She wasnt alive
Buried alive? Because of love? Seriously
Jin dynasty was founded by jurchen while the later Jin dynasty Wes founded by turk( not Muslim)
So stupid to be mad at fellow concubines when it’s all down to the whim of the gross men.
It's more comfortable to born in indian royal family
This is very illuminating and interesting. Pity that they chose a weak narrator.
What the hack are you babbling about
She committed suicide. When was anyone buried alive?
Rubbish, she wasnt buried alive! I was listening to the narrator, ABahai was forced to commit suicide so she can be buried with the emperor. The titles we put to get a view..amazing@
Click bait. She wasn't buried alive!! She committed suicide!! 😠😠😠
