Wen - Black Tanuki
In the TV series "Daming Fenghua", Zhang Yan, Sun Ruowei and Hu Shanxiang are all the birth mothers of the emperor, why did Zhang Yan and Sun Ruowei become empresses, but Hu Shanxiang did not?
Zhang Yan
Zhang Yan's relationship with Zhu Di, Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Zhanji was very good. She was the crown princess of Zhu Di's personal title, the empress dowager of Zhu Gaozi, and the empress dowager of Zhu Zhanji. Her every move was in accordance with the law and the rules. The point is that no one is fighting with her.
Sun Ruowei
Sun Ruowei started as a concubine, first as a crown princess concubine and an imperial concubine, and after Hu Shanxiang was abandoned, Sun Ruowei was promoted to empress. Zhu Zhanji was not in good health in his later years, and Sun Ruowei began to manage the affairs of the Ming Dynasty with his outstanding political talent. Most of the former imperial generals were supported by Zhu Di, Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Zhanji, and they met with Sun Ruowei frequently, so naturally they were more compatible and would help Sun Ruowei deal with big and small matters.
Hu Shanxiang
Hu Shanxiang was originally a concubine of Taisun Zhengfei and was revered as a princess, a princess and an empress. Later, after her affair with the King of Han was known to Emperor Zhu Zhanji, she immediately decided to abandon Hu Shanxiang.
Although Hu Shanxiang gave birth to Zhu Qiyu, he scolded Zhu Qiyu even more. What's more, she actually went so far as to scold Zhu Qiyu's empress. Her daughter-in-law was bullied by her to the point of intolerable, and on the day that Zhu Qiyu crowned her son as the crown prince, both mother and son chose to commit suicide by taking poison.
For Zhu Qiyu, Hu Shanxiang's mother is more like a drag. She had never helped Zhu Qiyu, but it was Zhu Qiyu's constraint, and the fire in Zhu Qiyu's backyard was All Hu Shanxiang's fault.
To sum up, Hu Shanxiang not only scolded Zhu Qiyu and his wife, but also indirectly killed Zhu Qiyu's empress and crown prince, plus she was not virtuous and filial, and was once abandoned by the former emperor, so even if her son Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, Hu Shanxiang had no chance to be the empress.
