In feudal society, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, without an emperor, the administrative affairs of the whole country can not be planned and arranged, then it will not be long before the world will be in chaos. Of course, the country can not be without a day, and although the empress cannot worry about the affairs of the government and the public, she is responsible for the stability of the harem and some diplomatic affairs with women members of the royal family of other countries.
It can be said that only the tacit cooperation of the empress dowager can maintain the basic operation of a country. The role of the empress is much more important than everyone thinks, and today I will introduce you to an empress of the Ming Dynasty, and her life is described by the word wonderful. What kind of character is this queen? Did she really save Daming Jiangshan several times? This empress was Empress Makoto of the Akihito Clan.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his son Zhu Di the Prince of Yan decided to rebel and compete for the throne, and Zhu Di had a son named Zhu Gaozi (Akihito), who was the son of the King of Yan at the time, and during the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Gaozi's main task was to stay behind and be responsible for defending the safety of Beijing, the old lair of the King of Yan.
Zhu Gaozi's two younger brothers, Zhu Gaoxu the Prince of Han and Zhu Gaoxuan, the King of Zhao, followed Zhu Di to fight the world, and it is reasonable to say that Zhu Di made Zhu Gaozi the successor, otherwise he would not have been crowned as the son of the King of Yan, but unfortunately, Zhu Gaozi was not an emperor at all, weak and incompetent, what others said was what it was, and he was a big fat man with difficulty in moving. When the Jing Dynasty was in trouble, the King of Yan needed a member of the imperial family to go to the battlefield to inspire the army, and Zhu Gao was weak and weak, so Zhu Di had no choice but to personally march. Over time, Zhu Di became more and more unpleasant to Zhu Gaozi.
Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, and Zhu Gaoxuan, the King of Zhao, saw that they both had ambitions for the throne and began to show their talents, and Zhu Di hated iron even more at first glance, and often reprimanded Zhu Gaoxu many times. Just when Zhu Gaozi's position as crown prince was about to be lost, a woman, that is, Zhang Shi, Zhu Gaozi's original partner, stepped forward and solved her husband's dilemma.
Zhang Xianliang Shude, not only gave birth to a favored grandson Zhu Zhanji (Ming Xuanzong) for Zhu Di early, the treatment of in-laws is very considerate and thoughtful, Zhu Di is very satisfied with Zhang's daughter-in-law, thinking that she has the ability to assist Zhu Gaozi, and Zhu Gaozi as the crown prince did not make any big mistakes, feudal society also pays attention to li Chang Li, so Zhu Gaozi's position as the crown prince can be saved, of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Di feels that Zhu Gaozi has the help of Zhang's sage, and will definitely be able to govern the country in the future, and fortunately there is Zhang. Zhu Gaozi was able to escape the disaster and smoothly became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Zhu Gaozi was overly obese, his health was not very good, so Zhu Gaozi died less than a year after he ascended the throne, and after his death, the situation was in chaos, and his two younger brothers Zhu Gaoxu the King of Han and Zhu Gaoxuan the King of Zhao still wanted to compete for the throne, at this time it was Zhu Gaozi's empress Dowager Zhang who immediately made a decision, immediately stabilized the Wenwu hundred officials, and let Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji succeed to the throne smoothly, so that the Power of the Ming Dynasty could be smoothly transferred.
Later, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming suddenly died at the age of 38, when rumors circulated in the palace that Zhu Zhanji's younger brother would be made the new emperor (brother and brother), at this time it was Empress Zhang who came forward to stabilize the situation in the imperial court, and chose Zhu Zhanji's 9-year-old eldest son Zhu Qizhen (Ming Yingzong) to succeed him, while Zhang Shi was regent and assisted Ming Yingzong in a smooth transition.
