The costume drama "Daming Fenghua", which has been chased for a long time, finally came to an end before the arrival of the New Year, because the popularity of this drama made many people interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The drama "Daming Style" is based on a novel, and there must be many plots that do not conform to the real history. For example, someone who has seen this show will ask:
According to the records of the Zhengshi, was Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen really the son of Empress Sun Ruowei in the play? Was Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty really the son of Hu Shanxiang?
According to the records of the history books, Zhu Qizhen was indeed the child born to Empress Sun, and the Empress Sun in the main history was Sun Ruowei in the play, while Zhu Qiyu was not the child born to Empress Hu Shanxiang.
According to the Zhengshi records, Empress Hu only gave birth to two girls and did not give birth to a prince, and Zhu Qiyu's biological mother was Concubine Wu xian of Emperor Xuanzong.
In addition, the origins of many of the characters in the play are fictional. For example, Empress Hu Shanxiang, Empress Hu in the Ming Dynasty, was an orphan of Jingnan, who entered the palace as a palace maid since childhood, and later through the recommendation of the King of Han, she was elected as the wife of her grandson Zhu Zhanji, and later became an empress. But the real Hu Shanxiang in history is the daughter of Hu Rong, who is a hundred households in Jinyiwei.
When she married Zhu Zhanji, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was still alive, don't look at Zhu Di for the eldest son Zhu Gaozi is not very kind, but for Zhu Gaozi's son, that is, his grandson Zhu Zhanji, he heard that Hu Shanxiang is very virtuous, so he personally made the decision to give her to his grandson Zhu Zhanji.
Hu Shanxiang was indeed a very virtuous woman, not only favored by Zhu Di, but even her mother-in-law, Empress Zhang, liked this daughter-in-law very much. After Emperor Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, he naturally made Hu Shanxiang empress. Therefore, the strange personality of the Hu Empress in "Daming Fenghua", who always thinks of being a demon, and the real Empress Hu in history are simply two people, and the smear of her in the play is simply outrageous.
Empress Hu was a virtuous and good empress, but she was not liked by Ming Xuanzong, and she gave birth to two daughters in a row, and failed to give birth to a son for Ming Xuanzong, so Ming Xuanzong did not favor her. Emperor Mingxuanzong did not favor Empress Hu and even deposed her. For the sake of face, Emperor Mingxuanzong actually forced Empress Hu to take the initiative to resign from the empress's position, and the reasons given were not valid at all, saying that Empress Hu had no heirs and was in poor health for many years, so she was willing to give up the empress's position. In this way, Empress Hu became an empress who was infallible and deposed, which was really unconvincing.
After being deposed, Empress Hu could only enter the Taoist monastic practice, and the reason why Ming Xuanzong deposed Empress Hu was simple, that is, to make room for the woman he favored. This woman is the concubine Sun Shi, that is, Sun Ruowei in "Daming Fenghua". Sun's family was born in a humble place, and his father was a petty official on Feng Lu Weibo.
The Ming Dynasty's selection of concubines and post-election all followed a principle, that is, not to guard the door, so most of the empresses, empresses and concubines of the Ming Dynasty were not born well, which also made the Ming Dynasty have no opportunity to have the phenomenon of foreign relations dictatorship. Therefore, the origin of Empress Sun in the Ming Dynasty is also fictional, and she is not an orphan of Jingnan, but the daughter of a sesame official.
According to historical records, sun was beautiful and gave birth to a son Zhu Qizhen for Emperor Xuanzong, so he was very popular with Emperor Xuanzong, and after Empress Hu was deposed, Sun became the new empress. After Emperor Xuanzong's death, her son Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne as Emperor Yingzong of Ming, and she changed from Empress Sun to Empress Sun.
After the change of Tumu Fort, The town of Zhu Qi, Emperor Mingyingzong, was captured by The Wallachians, and half a million Of the Elites of the Ming Dynasty were also lost, and the Wallachians were even on the verge of being in Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger. At this time, Empress Sun stepped forward and supported Yu Qian and others in deposing the captured Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen and making his first Zhu Qiyu the new emperor, freeing herself from the threat of the Wallachians against the Ming Dynasty.
To tell the truth, Empress Sun's doing this was very dangerous for her own son Zhu Qizhen. If Zhu Qizhen was still the emperor, the Wallachians would not kill him easily, and would use him as a chip in their hands to blackmail the Ming Dynasty. But once Zhu Qizhen was no longer the emperor, this chip was useless, and the Valar people were likely to kill him.
Empress Sun did not understand this truth, but in order to stabilize the situation at that time and for the future of the Ming Dynasty, she still decided to destroy her relatives in righteousness, depose her captured son, and establish Zhu Qiyu as emperor. And vigorously used Yu Qian to win the defense of Beijing, and did not let the Ming Dynasty repeat the mistakes of the Northern Song Dynasty.
From this point of view, Empress Sun was indeed a calm-headed and very rational politician. Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen was released after more than a year of captivity by Vala, and later launched."
A coup d'état
"Regaining the throne. If the Wallachians had killed Zhu Qizhen in a fit of rage, I don't know if Empress Sun, as a mother, would regret her original decision.
