Obsessed men are rare, and infatuated emperors are even rarer. How many men would be willing to have only one person in their lifetime when they can sit on three thousand beautiful women? However, there are several infatuated emperors in history.
The Ming Dynasty alone produced several affectionate emperors, which cannot but make people sigh that perhaps their old Zhu family has deep blood in their bones.
Zhu Qizhen's affection for Empress Qian: blind and lame is still not abandoned
How affectionate was Zhu Qizhen for his wife, Empress Qian? Affectionate enough to be passed down as a good story by future generations. Zhu Qizhen, who had experienced the change of the door, understood even more how precious it was for Empress Qian to still know and accompany herself when she was down, and not to abandon her.
Therefore, after the restoration, in the face of the proposal of the ministers to change the empress, Zhu Qizhen did not hesitate to refuse. Why does this reflect Zhu Qizhen's deep affection for Empress Qian? The queen didn't make any mistakes, and wouldn't it be normal not to abolish her?
Because at this time, Empress Qian had long since lost the delicate and beautiful appearance she had when she was young, and had become a blind, lame, and sick woman! Whether it is to protect the royal face, but also out of their own selfishness, many emperors will choose to change to a new empress at such a time.
Because like Empress Qian, in the days to come, she would definitely not be able to pass on the inheritance for Zhu Qizhen. However, Zhu Qizhen did not dislike her in the slightest, but tried his best to defy the public opinion and keep her position as empress. As an emperor, being able to do so much for his own queen can be seen to really love his wife.
Even though Empress Qian was childless, she was still regarded as a treasure by Zhu Qizhen
Since the two empresses were married, Zhu Qizhen regarded his wife as a treasure at any time, even if she was blind and lame, even if she never gave birth to a son and a half daughter for him. Before Zhu Qizhen died, he was only worried that after his death, Empress Qian would be harassed. Why?
Because at that time, the Ming Dynasty had a rule that after the emperor died, the concubines without children should be martyred, even the empress. And Empress Qian, who was childless and childless, was bound to be martyred for Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen could not bear her martyrdom and died early.
And through empress Qian, she thought that many concubines in the harem were childless, and could not bear to see them lose their lives like this, so she simply abolished this regulation. Empress Qian did not have to be martyred, but other problems came again. Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen's birth mother was not Empress Qian, and originally because there was no reason for the ministers who had nothing to do, they always wanted him to make Zhu Jianshen's birth mother, Zhou Guifei, empress.
It's just that Zhu Qizhen doesn't agree. So after his death, what should Zhu Qizhen do if he is not good to Empress Qian? What if Zhu Qizhen deposed Empress Qian and made his birth mother empress? In order to prevent Empress Qian from being left alone after her death, she summoned Zhu Mishen to tell him to be filial to Empress Qian after his death.
And after Empress Qian's death, she will be buried with herself. After explaining this, he was still not at ease, so he found his most trusted minister, recorded his words, and hid them in a safe place. In this way, if Zhu Jianshen did not follow his words, he could take out this "will" at that time.
It can be seen from this that Zhu Qizhen really took pains for Empress Qian, worried that she would not have a good life after her death, and arranged everything before her death. In this life, he could get Zhu Qizhen so affectionately, and he did not waste his life for the Empress Qian.
The Queen of Money deserves such affection
To be able to win zhu Qizhen's love and affection, Empress Qian must have her unique charm. Qian Shi originally followed Zhu Yuanzhang's old subordinates and made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's fight against the world. The Qian family was loyal to the Zhu family, but they never forgot their duty.
Zhu Qizhen, because she loved Empress Qian, wanted to promote her family, but empress Qian refused. This shows that Empress Qian is both humble and intelligent, and she is not overwhelmed by the wealth in front of her. Although Zhu Qizhen is affectionate, she also knows that she has no children.
Zhu Qizhen needed offspring to inherit the throne, so she was very tolerant and generous, and she was also very kind to the children born to other concubines. The reason why her eyes were blind and her legs were lame was also because after Zhu Qizhen was captured, her brother was also martyred.
She was so bitter that she cried and blinded her eyes; she knelt on her knees for a long time and prayed to heaven to bless Zhu Qizhen's safe return, which would cause one leg to become lame. After returning, Zhu Qizhen was still imprisoned. Fortunately, Empress Qian never abandoned him and constantly encouraged him to comfort him.
He had experienced so many disasters, and Empress Qian had always been by his side, and because he had become blind and lame, so affectionate and righteous, how could he fail to live up to it? If you have a wife like this, why should your husband ask for it! Empress Qian paid her brother for Zhu Qizhen.
Paying for her health, paying for her youth and beauty, she fully deserves the affection of an emperor!
