In various dynasties in ancient China, there have been many sensational events, such as the brother of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, such as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty who was once a prisoner, and the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty who snatched the throne of his nephew... When it comes to these things, some people may not be clear about the details, but the general direction of things is still relatively clear. But if you talk about some interesting things about the protagonists of these stories, there may not be so many people who know.
For example, Zhu Di, who snatched the throne from her nephew, wanted to invite a woman to be an empress after becoming emperor, but she was unwilling, preferring to choose to become a monk for freedom, until After Zhu Di's death, she was not vulgar. According to historical records, Zhu Di had only one empress, the daughter of the general Xu Da's family. Xu Da was a hero of Daming, and after the world was settled, Zhu Yuanzhang told him that if he wanted the two families to make friends, he still wanted to marry an in-law, so he let the fourth son marry the eldest daughter of the Xu Da family, known as Xu Shi.
At that time, Zhu Di was still the King of Yan, and xu naturally became the Princess of Yan after entering the palace, and the relationship between the couple was not bad. Later, we also know that the King of Yan successfully sat on the throne by launching a coup d'état, and at this time, xu shi naturally became an empress. A woman can become an empress, not only has more confidence in herself, but also brings supreme glory to the family. Xu Da was originally a great general of the Ming Dynasty, plus a daughter who became an empress, which can be said to be the limelight.
But the good life did not last long, and five years after her husband became emperor, Xu died. Generally speaking, after the death of the empress, it is possible to establish another one, and most people choose from the concubines they already have. But Zhu Di was biased, she heard that Xu Also had a younger sister named Xu Miaolian, who was born very beautifully, just like taking her into the palace and making her empress. For ordinary people, the position of empress is unavoidable, but Xu Miaolian can't hide it.
Because Xu Miaolian felt that entering the palace was equivalent to losing her freedom, for her, freedom was more precious than the back seat. So after the palace came, she hid from her, pretending to be ill and saying that she was inconvenient to receive the order. If you are sick, you will be cured! The emperor sent someone to see her, but she did not want to see it, saying that she was too ugly to be qualified to be an empress. After the people who came to see the patient returned to the palace to resume their lives, Miaolian felt that there would be a follow-up, so she prepared to escape first, so she fled.
After escaping, Xu Miaolian decisively chose to become a monk, and she felt that this was the best way to help her resolve the crisis. When the emperor heard that she had become an empress, he also understood that she really did not want to be an empress, and that there would be no result in demanding it, so he let her go, so he never made an empress again. Xu Miaolian, who became a nun, stayed in the nunnery until after Zhu Di's death.
