Boli

Consort Boli of Horqin, whose biographical details are mainly found in Manchu writings from the Later Jin period. Her surname is unknown; her given name is Boli. She was the wife of Belsar Zhaisang of the Horqin tribe. She is often mentioned alongside the Grand Consort of Horqin; later, due to changes in titles, she was also referred to as Heshuo Xianfei, Heshuo Morgen Fujin, Zasak Bintufu, among other titles. In later generations, she is commonly called the "Second Consort of Horqin" or simply "Boli." She bore two sons and two daughters with Zhaisang: the eldest son Uksan, the second son Manzhu Xili, and the daughters Hailanzhu and Bumu Butei. Hailanzhu became the Consort Chen of the Kangxi Emperor, and Bumu Butei became the Empress Xiaozhuangwen of the Kangxi Emperor.

Key points of her life are as follows: In April 1633, the Grand Consort of Horqin, Consort Boli, along with Uksan, Manzhu Xili, and others, traveled with the Beldar to迎the Emperor Taiji, and they greeted each other respectfully as hosts' relatives on the way. In October of the following year, Boli's daughter Hailanzhu was sent to Later Jin to marry Emperor Taiji as a concubine. On the 28th day of the first lunar month in 1637, Boli was bestowed the title Heshuo Xianfei. She and the Grand Consort of Horqin entered Qingning Palace to thank the Emperor, referred to in Manchu as Heshuo Morgen Fujin, and in Mongolian as Zasak Bintufu. In 1643, Boli, along with the Grand Consort and others, arrived in Shengjing to celebrate military victories and participated in Emperor Taiji's funeral. After his death, she continued to participate in relevant ceremonies and rituals.

After Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne in 1645, on September 14 of the second year of Shunzhi, the Heshuo Fufei of the Horqin Beli, Gungbu, Consort Boli, Prince Wukeshan of the Heshuo Zhuolike tribe, and other relatives traveled to Beijing to pay homage to Emperor Shunzhi. They were received at Qihua Gate, where the Emperor held two banquets in their honor. Boli was received by Gelnüzhen Fujin Zhe Zhe, and her ceremony of presentation followed standard protocols, seemingly without significant difference from that of other consorts.

On February 25, 1654, Emperor Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager were informed of the death of Consort Boli of Horqin Heshuo Xianfei. Officials petitioned to handle her mourning according to customary practices. The emperor ordered the princes and Belsars to return to their quarters, and he himself also withdrew. On the third day of the fifth lunar month, Emperor Shunzhi posthumously bestowed her maternal grandfather Zhaisang the title Heshuo Zhongqin Wang. He also posthumously honored Boli as Heshuo Zhongqin Wang Xianfei and set up steles in Jilin Province to commemorate her. Additional memorial stele inscriptions were drafted for the Duke of Loyalty and the Duke of Loyalty's Xianfei. The descendants and extended family of Boli are recorded in later historical materials as having close blood ties and marital relations with the imperial family during the Qing Dynasty.
