Empress Hu with a black belly in "Daming Fenghua"
The story said that since there is a Mary Sue heroine with the aura of the protagonist, there must be a vicious female partner. Hu Shanxiang is this female partner.
Emperor Xuanzong of Ming had two empresses, his original wife Empress Dowager Hu Shanxiang and Empress Xiaogong Sun Ruowei.
In the TV series, Hu Shanxiang is set as Sun Ruowei's younger sister. During the Jing Dynasty, the two young sisters were separated, the sister was raised by her father's old subordinates, and the younger sister was rescued by the crown prince Zhu Gaozi and adopted by the female officials in the palace. One in the palace, one in the jianghu, the sisters' life encounters have been clear since then.
The younger sister was raised by hu Shangyi, a female official in the palace, and was named Hu Shanxiang. Hu Shanxiang, who grew up in the palace, learned to take things step by step and learned to be scheming. In order to change her fate and break free from the shackles of humility, she made up her family lineage, became a show girl, was named a princess, and then an empress, became a phoenix on the branches of the sycamore, and embarked on the peak of her life. But what about lofty status? No matter how deep the heart is, it is not as good as the emperor's favor.
Hu Shanxiang was recommended by Zhu Gaoxu, who held military power, and Zhu Gaozi and the crown princess persuaded Zhu Zhanji to choose Hu Shanxiang as a concubine. When he was crowned Princess Taisun, Zhu Zhanji held Yu Ruyi hesitantly. Under pressure, Zhu Zhanji finally gave Hu Shanxiang the ruyi representing Concubine Zheng. Hu Shanxiang was ecstatic and grateful, saying, "The concubine swears to die in retribution." But she didn't know that in the beginning she lost, didn't love, and was doomed to the end. She did not see that Zhu Zhanji wanted to stretch out his hands to her; she did not notice that Zhu Zhanji did not look at her squarely from beginning to end; she did not see the deep affection that Zhu Zhanji placed his purse in the palm of Sun Ruowei's hand and tightly held her hand.
In the battle for the throne between you and me, Hu Shanxiang became more and more crazy. She colluded with Zhu Gaoxu to frame Sun Ruowei and even wanted to borrow seeds to have children. Her madness pulled herself farther and farther away from Zhu Zhanji, and finally the empress's throne was deposed.
In fact, not loving is the original sin, whether she is a demon or not. The organs have exhausted, won the glory, and lost the sincerity.
Mutilating good sisters, good jealousy, Hu Shanxiang's coffin board could not be suppressed: I am not such a Hu Empress.
In the TV series, Hu Shanxiang poisoned the sisters' eyebrows when they were humble, competed with Sun Ruowei for favors, and even wanted to borrow seeds to have children. In fact, the historical Hu Shanxiang after the abolition of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming was not like this, it was not like this at all.
The real Hu Shanxiang is famous for his sages. She is the third daughter of Hu Rong, a native of Jining, Shandong Province. She passed the official draft, and in the fifteenth year of Yongle, she was selected by the then crown princess Zhang Shi as Zhu Zhanji's grandson concubine. Also selected was the later Empress Xiaogong of the Sun clan, who was then given the title of Concubine of the Grand Concubine.
In the first year of Xuande (1426), Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne as emperor, Hu Shanxiang was crowned empress, and Sun Shi was crowned as a noble concubine.
Hu Shanxiang was loyal and kind, and her demeanor was solemn, and her epitaph was remembered: "XuandeJian, Hai Nei Yan'an, the car driver is quite lucky." After each multiplication, there is no flattery and obedience, and the habitual service attendant is Yu Ruye. ”
This means that the world is too peaceful, Zhu Zhanji is slack, often driving and playing, and Empress Hu often advises and does not flatter the emperor.
But no matter how virtuous Hu Shanxiang was, it was useless, Zhu Zhanji did not spoil her, and it was Sun Guifei who favored her.
The author of "Daming Fenghua" arranged for Zhu Qiyu to be a son of Hu Shanxiang, and the historical Empress Hu did not have sons, but only gave birth to two princesses.
Zhu Zhanji favored Sun Guifei and wanted to make Sun Guifei empress. In the second year of Xuande, Sun Guifei gave birth to her eldest son Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Zhanji had more reasons to change her position as empress. The following year, Hu Shanxiang was forced to take the initiative to resign from the empress's position on the grounds of childlessness and illness, and went to Chang'an Palace to cultivate.
Hu Shanxiang was deposed without fault, and people had great sympathy for her. The "Biography of the Later Concubines of the Ming Dynasty" records that the hou was deposed without fault, and the world heard and pitied it. After Xuanzong, he also repented. Taste the self-explanation: "This is a juvenile thing." ”
That is to say, after Hu Shanxiang was deposed without any fault, the officials and the people sympathized with her. Zhu Zhanji later regretted it, explaining that he had only treated Hu Shanxiang badly.
The emperor's fluttering words buried a woman's life.
Zhu Zhanji deposed Hu Lisun, and the treacherous harem battles can be seen.
The author of "Daming Fenghua" arranged Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei as sisters, Hu Shanxiang did not hesitate to use any means, pressing step by step, and Sun Ruowei was tolerant and generous, and gave in everywhere. Will this be the case?
In the third year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji proposed to the courtiers the idea of abolishing Hu Shanxiang's posthumous throne, on the grounds that Hu Shanxiang was childless and ill. For the sake of political stability, the empress could not be easily deposed, so Zhu Zhanji's proposal was not agreed to by the important courtiers. However, Zhu Zhanji was not satisfied, and finally came up with a way to get Hu Shanxiang to take the initiative to submit his resignation, so that the ministers who opposed the abolition had nothing to say.
Hu Shanxiang was deeply liked by Zhu Zhanji's mother, Empress Zhang. After Zhu Zhanji was deposed, he was also obstructed by his mother.
The reasons for Zhu Zhanji's abolition are really far-fetched. Hu Shanxiang's so-called multiple diseases are actually only minor diseases. Although she has no children, Hu Shanxiang is still young, and it cannot be said that she will not have children in the future.
Regardless of the world's leisurely mouth, regardless of the opposition of the ministers, and even at the expense of his mother, zhu Zhanji insisted on abolishing it, would it be just his willful will? Zhu Zhanji was extremely fond of Sun Guifei, and after deposing Hu Shanxiang, he established Sun Shi as the queen, what role did Sun Clan play in the middle?
The "History of Ming" records: Hu Hou abdicated on the table, please determine the national version as soon as possible. Concubine Fei said: "After recovering from illness, I have a son, and my son dares to have a son?" ”
This means that Empress Hu made a statement to the emperor, took the initiative to resign from the empress's position, and asked the emperor to set up the Sun clan as a queen as soon as possible, so as not to float in the hearts of the people. Sun Guifei deliberately prevaricated that after the empress recovered from her illness, she would have a son, so how dare my son be in front of the empress's son?
On the surface, after establishing the Sun clan, Sun Guifei humbled her resignation, but a "pseudo" was used before the "resignation", indicating that this was not Sun Guifei's sincere words, but just a pretentious gesture.
The "History of Ming" also records that Empress Zhang had mercy on Hou Xian and often summoned her to live in Qingning Palace. The inner court feasted, and was ordered to live in the grandson.' Grandchildren often pity.
This means that Zhu Zhanji's mother, Empress Zhang, who sympathized with Hu Shanxiang and was deposed, often summoned her to qingning Palace to stay. When the harem held a banquet, she was allowed to sit on the upper seat of Empress Sun, and Empress Sun was very unhappy.
Due to Empress Zhang's liking, Hu Shanxiang fell but did not collapse, and Sun Shi was very annoyed by this.
The victory or defeat of the harem is often between the lines.
The author of "Daming Fenghua" turned the clouds and rain hand, and dropped the history of hu and sun. The real Empress Hu stayed alone in the deserted Chang'an Palace, accompanied by green lanterns, and Zhu Zhanji and Empress Zhang also disappeared after their deaths, and it was Zhu Zhanji's son Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen who posthumously honored her as Empress Gong Rangzhang.
