On the seventh day of August in the eighth year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, the news that Huang Taiji fell from his horse in Tiebei Mountain reached Shengjing City, causing an uproar. Prince Rui, Dorgon, is eyeing the throne. The eldest son of the emperor, Hauge, is determined to win the Antlers throne. Each of the eight banners is its master, and a coup is imminent. In order to protect the overall situation, the beautiful and intelligent Concubine Zhuang concealed Huang Taiji's true condition from the outside. On the other hand, she secretly contacted loyal and resourceful people and tried every means to stabilize the status of Qingning Palace. On the ninth day of August, Huang Taiji suddenly collapsed. The grieving concubine of Qingning Palace had no time to wipe away her tears when she felt the coldness from the polished steel knife in the hands of the Dorgon brothers. Whether to live or die, to die together, or to endure humiliation, seek common ground while reserving differences, and seek long-term development of the Qing Dynasty, Xiaozhuang pondered and wandered painfully... In the end, she was good at judging the situation and seized the opportunity of history and made an astonishing decision...
The novel begins with Huang Taiji's death from a serious illness and Concubine Zhuang's choice. It goes through the kings' struggle for the throne, Fulin's succession, Chongzhen's suicide, Li Zicheng's defeat, Wu Sangui's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's entry into the country, the Queen Mother's marriage, and Dole's death. Major events such as the violent death of Gun and the pacification of the San Francisco dynasty try to show the life of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who was powerful, kept a low profile, forged ahead, and was full of sorrow and joy, and felt the enlightenment and reflection from the depths of history. The bloody and cruel palace battles, the magnificent war of entry, and the in-depth analysis of the situation are vividly presented by the author in different writing styles: the wise and astute Xiaozhuang, the talented and strategic Dorgon, the cunning and deceitful Duduo, the rude and savage Azige, the weak and moderate Daishan, the worried about gains and losses, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui...
Reader comments
This book is really good and beautiful! The author has profound literary knowledge, the storyline is eye-catching, and the description of Xiaozhuang is more historically accurate and reasonable. Xiaozhuang's role in the Qing Dynasty cannot be overly praised. She connected the past and the next and played a decisive role in establishing the Qing Dynasty's foundation for hundreds of years. She is comparable to Wu Zetian and better than Empress Lu and Cixi. This book divides the battle between Xiaozhuang and Dorgon into three major battles. The first time he won completely, the second time he was defeated miserably, but he kept his son's throne, and the third time he married Dorgon at the expense of reputation and reputation, and then he kept Fulin's throne. Xiaozhuang is shrewd, good at tactics, talented, wise, and courageous. As a reader, I am quite dissatisfied with Xiaozhuang's actions in the book, especially his performance in the subsequent battles, especially his marriage, which is even more disdainful. However, this may be history, and no one can change it! Novel cannot shape a historical figure into a perfect character that readers like. Thanks to the author for providing us with an excellent novel!
The author has a profound knowledge of literature and history, and the plot of the story is full of ups and downs, and the reader is full of confidence, with ups and downs, and is fascinating.
It is a historical novel that affirms the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's outstanding contribution to China. The novel describes the cruelty of the court figures in their struggle for power and throne and the courage and wit of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. It shows the greatness of a mother who endures humiliation for her son and the country.
The writing is brilliant and the storyline is full of ups and downs. Like it 👍
A good book that restores history
It writes about a woman's life, plotting in love and hate. Be wise and brave to pursue what you need, take something and give it up. With the help of history and personal wisdom, Xiaozhuang is an extraordinary place!
True and objective, clear and informative
Nice. It wrote the history of the time truly and objectively, and I finally saw a close and historically accurate description of Xiaozhuang and Dorgon. What has been seen before has diminished this remarkable political woman.
It was well explained and detailed, and I learned some history and culture.
I had watched this TV series before, but I didn't understand it well. Now after watching the work, I realized that the palace gate is as deep as the teachings. I just hope that Huang Taiji will not choose Concubine Zhuang to be buried with her. The child needs maternal love to accompany her. There are many princes competing for power. Concubine Zhuang does not care who will be the throne in the future. She only hopes that her son will grow up happily and safely. Concubine Zhuang faces many crises in the imperial family.
I really like this kind of books, very well written
The author of this book is very good. He wrote the life of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang so wonderfully! I particularly like Xiaozhuang, she is very smart and can make the right decisions in such a complicated environment. And the other characters in the book are also interesting, like the cunning Dodo, who I kind of hate. This book made me understand a lot of historical knowledge. It felt like I had traveled to ancient times. It was so interesting!
It follows history, has clear priorities, and is worth reading.
A good book worth reading again and again. It is a great book that condenses countless smart and wise women in the world.
Embroiderer
Flowers and birds chirping are the best,
The lotus pond is embroidered among the flowers.
Since the thread is drawn and the needle is threaded,
Let the wind blow your sleeves full of fragrance.
In today's era when hundreds of flowers are blooming, it is not easy to publish a novel. How determined Kuang was to embroider a pond of lotus flowers among the flowers. It contains the writer's sweat, tears, and hard work since I started threading the needle. The honor of letting the wind blow the scent of your sleeves is an affirmation of the writer's sweat. Thank you! Sending us enjoyment and insight. I wish you a happy life as a writer! Thanks!
Without Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, there would be no Thirteen Dynasties of the Qing Palace. The writer uses sharp writing to tell about our ancestors. This is a very good book. I usually read such a good book more than three times. Thank you writer! Thanks!
I have read the Yongzheng Dynasty and the Secret History of Xiaozhuang. Although it is a preliminary understanding, it is really not easy for a woman to leave her name through the ages after passing through the feudal imperial dynasty. She is a very remarkable woman who is smart and wise. Worth recommending, five-star praise [like]
Very good book
Very good novel. I like it very much.

Hahahahahaha, good, good, good, good
Good,
A good platform for shopping and leisure, I hope you will get more and more gold coins!
It's a good read, and it's a must-have book for understanding Qing history.
This is the first time I have read and heard the true story of the historical Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. She was beautiful, intelligent and witty, and defeated thousands of men. It is very beautiful.
The author's writing of this book is true and true, he vividly expresses Wu Sangui's so-called loyalty to the emperor, fully exposes the interests he complained about, and deceives Li Yutian and others into believing it. Although Liaodong is still part of our territory today, what would happen if it were replaced by today's reality? ... In short, this book can record what happened at that time, which is a profound understanding of history for our generation. The content is relatively substantial, and it is a rare good book among biographies.
Book Review: Zhang Xue
The whole book is vividly written with narratives and discussions in continuous sentences.
A lot of psychological games, misty and thought-provoking
