Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 389 The Sixth Proposition: The Mystery of Concubine De's Origin (2)
The second paragraph comes from "The First Collection of Eight Banners Tongzhi". "Chu Ji" was compiled in the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727) by Ertai and others under the order of Yongzheng, and it was completed in the fourth year of Qianlong (1739). Since the editors are similar, the content is also basically similar, as follows:

"Eshen (Yuetong's note: the above is Esen), a native of Zhenghuang Banner in Manzhou, surnamed Wu Ya, lived in the place of [Yehe].In the first year of [①Budayi University], he was promoted to the Minister of the Interior. In the first year of Chongde, when Emperor Taizong Wen conquered North Korea, North Korea sent people to write a letter to the Ming Dynasty, and the forehead was shot in the face.Taizong Jiaqi can be bestowed by the horses ridden by the Koreans.In the first month of next year, Yang Guli, the prince of Tong Chaopin, will lead the army forward and smash the North Korean soldiers.Among the North Korean pawns, there was a person who hid in the rocks and stole the shotgun. Yang Guli was slandered and died.Taizong was very painful.Suddenly there was a man who went over the mountain, Tulai pointed out and said: "The one who goes up to the mountain will kill Yang Guli." Taizong ordered him to chase him, and returned to Daying the next day to offer his head. 〖Taizong ordered Prince Rui, Dorgon, and others to discuss their merits, and the king and others discussed and replied: "This person will return after one night. That's right, the Holy Lord has generously bestowed grace, and the minister dares to bear it." Taizong did so, and for three years, he followed Prince Rui and others to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and made contributions to Jinan Prefecture, Datong and other places.Triumphant discussion, [③Confer Niu Luzhang Jing's world post].

In the first year of Yongzheng, Empress Dowager Renshou III was granted the title.Participated in his father's forehead, Bugen, and his son was mighty and posthumously named a first-class prince.The edict given said: "The great-grandfather of Empress Dowager Renshou, Ebugen, is an old family of this dynasty and a famous entrepreneur. When Emperor Gaozu was the emperor, [② raised the forbidden court], he was regarded as Zizhi. [③ First-class Ashani Fan and Zuo Ling] Essen is the grandfather of the Empress Dowager Renshou. 【④Three Dynasties】, written by Military Merit. The guards participated in the leadership of Wei Wu, who is also the father of the Empress Dowager Renshou. De Zhongling, the Holy Mother of Destiny, should be added to the rank of Jun to assist the Yi Zhang. [⑤The Ebugen, Ecan, and Wei Wu are all named as the first-class public.] The wife is named the first-class wife. The first-class It was given to Bai Qi, the son of Wei Wu, to inherit and replace him.”

After the data is recorded, it is time to analyze:
★The first point of view: Defei's ancestor should be coated, the reasons are as follows.

1) In the first paragraph, it is stated that Defei’s grandfather’s original position was: [①] Pantry Manager (Yue Tong has been looking for this position for a long time, but in fact he has not found out who it is, but it belongs to internal affairs If it is the government, it may indeed be coating. I see someone said so, but I did not find clear information, so I will not refute it)
In the second paragraph, it is stated that Concubine De’s grandfather, Eshen, served as “[①] Buda Yida” at the beginning, which was not a position in the Qing Dynasty, but some people say that its Manchu pronunciation is very similar to “Baoyi Da”, if it is Baoyi Big, there is no doubt that Hao is from Baoyi.

2) Both passages mention that E Bogen once "[②] nurtured the Forbidden Court", so it can be understood here that E Bogen has been serving the royal family. If this understanding is true, then "E Bogen" is It is also reasonable for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to coat it.

In addition, the time when Erbogen was attached to Nurhachi was "Return at the beginning of the country". Judging from the situation recorded in the "Manzhou Eight Banners", the return at the beginning of the country belongs to the late ones, and most of them were sealed to the Baoyi Banner. Just like the previous article said that Concubine Yi's ancestors were more foresighted to submit early and have a high status, while Wu Ya's grandfather E Bogen did not have any special merits, and he joined late, so he was assigned to the Coating Flag. Very possible.

To sum up, it is very likely that Concubine De's ancestors belonged to the Baoyi Banner.
