author:Matilda Read

Emperor Xiaozong advocated monogamy and married only one wife, Empress Zhang, in her lifetime. This was because he did not want his wives and concubines to die in the ordeal like his own mother, so an Empress Zhang was enough for him. Most of the emperors in China's feudal era had three thousand harem beauties, some far more than three thousand, and it is said that there are several more than 10,000 people. However, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming only loved one woman in his life, that is, his empress Zhang Shi, which is the only one in history.

Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youfan, only married one wife and loved only one person in his life

Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youxian, he had to say that his bitter father, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, it is reasonable to say that there are many beautiful people in the harem, and Ming Xianzong, who has no physical illness, should have a large number of children. But the story that happened to him is hard to see in eternity. Emperor Xianzong reigned for 23 years and favored the noble concubine Wan Shi during his lifetime. This Wan Guifei was more than ten years older than Xianzong, and since she was a child, she waited for Xianzong, and Wanfei was not beautiful, and history said that her waist was like a bucket and her appearance was flat. But in front of Emperor Xianzong, it was "three thousand pets in one, and the six palaces were colorless." "The reason why Wan Guifei was favored by Xianzong was that Xianzong suffered from hernia disease, and Wan Guifei was good at massage, so Xianzong could not do without her.

Wan Guifei was pregnant once when she was young, but unfortunately she miscarried, and she never had children again because of her age. Wan Guifei was so heartbroken that she vented her anger on the other concubines, and all those who were pregnant were secretly poisoned or killed by her, and even the prince could not escape the poisoner. Emperor Xiaozong of Ming had a very tragic childhood, he was the third son of Emperor Mingxianzong, his birth mother Ji shi was the daughter of Guangxi Ji surname Tusi, after the Ji rebellion was quelled, the young girl Ji shi was captured in the palace to manage the emperor's private money. Once Xianzong occasionally passed by, saw Ji's beauty and intelligence, and stayed overnight. Afterwards, Ki became pregnant. At that time, the most favored person in the harem was Wan Guifei, who was afraid that other concubines would steal her limelight, and was always wary of those competitors around her, and when she found out, she ordered Ichigo to have an abortion for The Ji family.

Ji's popularity was very good, and the palace people sent could not bear to do it, and when they returned wan guifei, they lied that they had a tumor in their stomach instead of being pregnant, and Wan Guifei was still not at ease, and ordered that Ji be demoted to the cold palace. Ji Then secretly gave birth to Zhu Youfan in the cold palace, and when Wan Guifei learned of it, she sent the door supervisor Zhang Min to drown the new prince, but Zhang Min risked his life to help Ji Hide the baby secretly and feed it with rice noodles every day. Empress Wu, who was ostracized by Wan Guifei, also helped to feed the baby. In this way, Zhu Youfan slowly grew to six years old.

It wasn't until he was five or six years old that he saw his father again. But as soon as he recognized his father, his mother and the eunuch who hid him and raised him were killed. Later, he was almost persecuted by Wan Guifei many times, and he grew up in such a cruel palace fight, and he was deeply disgusted by the conspiracy and jealousy between the harem concubines.

Soon after Emperor Xiaozong became emperor, there was a minister who proposed to choose a concubine, and we don't know the attitude of Emperor Xiaozong himself, because he was destroyed by another minister before he could express his position. The reason is very simple, your father has just died and has not been buried, let alone keep filial piety for three years, and then talk about it after three years.

Emperor Xiaozong deeply loved his wife Empress Zhang, and Ming Xiaozong had only lived in this world for thirty-six years, and in such a short life, Ming Xiaozong, as a diligent emperor, did not have the time and energy to manage another feeling. In fact, love can make people unswerving, Ming Xiaozong loves his wife Empress Zhang in this way, and in the short life of Ming Xiaozong, Empress Zhang has always been in the most beautiful age of a woman, which makes Empress Zhang full of charm, Ming Xiaozong has no time, no energy, and no heart to love others, so he only married Empress Zhang for life.

Another very important reason is that Empress Zhang must be a very outstanding woman, a woman full of charm, must be a woman who cultivates both inside and outside, must be a woman who shares the common language and ideological realm with Ming Xiaozong, such a woman makes Ming Xiaozong love very deeply, so there is no possibility of other women joining in.
