Mengziyun: "There are three filial pieties, and there are three great deeds after doing nothing." Shun did not tell and married, for the sake of no queen, the gentleman thought that disturbing the accusation also." Although there are now many avant-garde young people who have become Dinks in spite of the world's vision, that is, do not want children. In ancient times, this was to be scolded as breaking the incense and extinguishing it. After all, in the five thousand years of civilization inheritance in China, the continuation of incense is a virtue of the Chinese nation, and for the imperial family, the prosperity of heirs directly affects the stability of the foundation of the imperial court. Therefore, we have the impression that the emperor's heirs are particularly numerous.
For example, the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he had 35 sons and 20 daughters in his lifetime; it can be regarded as a group of children, but there is also a Song Weizong Zhao Yao, a famous Emperor in history, according to historical records, he has a total of 38 sons, 42 daughters, a total of 80 people is the emperor with the most children in history. However, not all emperors have many children, and there are also some emperors who are worried because they have no children under their knees. For example, zhu Jianshen, the Chenghua Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, saw his hair white when he combed his hair and sighed that he had no children under his knees, but the eunuch knelt down to tell him: The prince is 6 years old in the Cold Palace.
Speaking of Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty, you will think of the love story of his and Wan Guifei's lifelong entanglement. Emperor Mingxianzong Zhu Jianshen's lifelong favorite, Wan Guifei, who was 17 years older than him, was an occasional concubine and never stayed at her place. This also led to Zhu Mi's deep knees being childless. So why would Zhu Jianshen spoil Wan Guifei, who was 17 years older than him? This has to start from Zhu Qizhen, the old man of Zhu Jianshen. Zhu Mishen was the eldest son of Zhu Qizhen, born in 1447, and zhu Jianshen was supposed to live a life of pampering and pampering, but due to Zhu Qizhen's incompetence.
He was seduced by the eunuch Wang Zhen to personally conquer Vala, and as a result, in 1449, the entire army was destroyed at the Battle of Tumu Fort, and Zhu Qizhen was captured. Although Zhu Jianshen was the eldest son, he was only 2 years old at the time and could not succeed to the throne. The country could not be left without a master for a day, so with the support of Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager, Zhu Qiyu was put on the throne. In 1452, Zhu Jianshen was deposed by his uncle Zhu Qiyu as the King of Qi and sent to the Cold Palace. At that time, the only person who accompanied Zhu Jianshen was wan shi, a palace girl. Life in the Cold Palace was certainly quite miserable, but Wan Shi protected him like a mother.
In order for Zhu Mi Shen Wanshi to prefer not to eat or drink himself or to let Zhu Mi Shen starve, the two relied on each other in the cold palace. Zhu Jianshen, because of Wan's care for his sister and mother, let him have a special feeling for Wan. Perhaps Zhu Jianshen was the life of the Son of Heaven, and in 1457, Zhu Qiyu became seriously ill, and Zhu Qizhen regained the throne. Zhu Mishen was made crown prince, and at this time, the Wan clan became Zhu Jianshen's most favored person, and the relationship between the two had developed into a husband and wife relationship. In 1464, Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, and was known as Emperor Mingxianzong. The first thing Emperor Mingxianzong did when he ascended the throne was to make The Wan clan empress.
However, it was resolutely opposed by the ministers and empresses, and Wan Shi was not only born as a palace maid, but also 17 years older than him, which was not conducive to the conception of the imperial heir, and Zhu Jianshen had to make Wan Shi a noble concubine, but everyone in the palace knew that she was the lord of the harem. Princess Wan Guifei took advantage of Emperor Mingxianzong's favor for her and deposed Empress Wu. Although Wan Shi and Zhu Mishen had a deep affection, she never considered his heirs, since the son born to Wan Guifei died prematurely, once she found out who Zhu Mishen favored, she immediately sent him a fetal medicine, she was afraid that once someone gave birth to a prince.
The mother will take everything from her with her son, and she will no longer be able to give birth to a prince when she is older. Zhu Jianshen's behavior towards her was also to open her eyes and pretend to be blind, allowing her to mess around. However, although Emperor Mingxianzong loved Wan Guifei, as an emperor, he would also sigh because he did not have a dragon son: "The old general is also childless." The eunuch beside him who was frightened quickly knelt down and told him: You have a son, he is 6 years old in the cold palace. Since it is the prince, why is he in the cold palace? It turned out that by chance, Ming Xianzong saw that the palace maid surnamed Ji who took care of the money for him looked fresh and vulgar, and he spoiled the Ji family.
Ji Shi was therefore pregnant with a dragon fetus, and when Wan Guifei heard about this, she asked the eunuch Zhang Min to kill the dragon son of the ji surnamed palace girl, and Zhang Min, because she was pregnant with a dragon child, lied to Wan Gui that the ji surname palace girl was not pregnant or sick, and Wan Guifei beat the ji surname palace girl into the cold palace to ensure safety. Who knew that the palace maid surnamed Ji was blessed by misfortune and successfully gave birth to a dragon child in the cold palace. He was the later Zhu Youfan, who and his mother Ji Shi ate a hundred family meals under the care of the kind palace maid and Empress Wu, who was beaten into the cold palace, and lived an inhuman life in the cold palace for 6 years.
It wasn't until Ming Xianzong saw his hair fall out when he combed his hair, and he felt that the veteran general Zhiyi had no children under his knees, that Zhang Min told him the truth, and Zhu Youfan was able to get out of the cold palace. In order to prevent Wan Guifei from poisoning him, Empress Zhou personally raised him. Wan Guifei died of anxiety, but when Zhu Jianshen heard the news that Wan Guifei was dead, he actually wept bitterly and sighed: When Wan Guifei is dead, I am leaving. And for Wan Guifei to boycott the dynasty for 7 days, soon after Zhu Jianshen also chased her away.
