Speaking of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, he really shook his head when he was the emperor, but he was still a qualified husband, and he had a deep affection for Empress Qian, but it was a pity that Empress Qian had no children under her knees and had nothing to rely on in life.
After Emperor Yingzong's death, his eldest son Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne as Emperor Xianzong, and according to the etiquette, Empress Qian should be honored as the empress dowager, but Zhu Jianshen's birth mother Zhou Shi once again tried to replace Qian's position, but fortunately, the former courtiers opposed it, and finally compromised into the two palaces, but the matter did not end there.
When Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, he was still young, and the major events and small things were managed by his grandmother Empress Dowager Zhang and the former imperial court, and it was under Empress Zhang's mastery that Qian was selected to become the empress of Zhu Qizhen.
After the Qian clan was crowned, it was the first emperor's first marriage ceremony after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and it was extremely grand and magnificent.
Although he was chosen by his grandmother, Zhu Qizhen was very satisfied with this gentle and obedient wife, who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and whether as a wife or as an empress, qian was well-known in the historical history of the Ming Dynasty and was a well-known virtuous and virtuous.
However, for many years after Qian's sealing, her grace continued, but she did not even have a daughter, while at the same time, the rest of the harem gave birth to many children for Yingzong under the inclusive care of Qian.
After the birth of his eldest son, Zhu Mishen, the former emperor asked for the title of crown prince, but Emperor Yingzong refused, still hoping that his beloved wife would give birth to a prince for himself.
Emperor Yingzong did not wait for Empress Qian to give birth, there was a change in civil engineering, when Zhu Qiyu was in charge of the country, Zhu Jianshen was made crown prince, and Empress Qian knelt in the palace and cried day and night in the Buddhist hall for the safety of her husband, and sent her private self to Vala, hoping to treat her husband kindly.
In the first year of Jingtai, Zhu Qizhen returned to the dynasty, the emperor at this time was Zhu Qiyu, and Empress Qian was blinded by crying and crippling on one leg because she prayed for Emperor Yingzong day and night, and she was young but green and white, and she had long lost her youthful beauty.
Emperor Yingzong was very distressed to see his beloved wife, but he was also unable to protect himself, and Emperor Yingzong and Empress Qian, as well as a number of concubines, were all imprisoned in the Southern Palace.
During the years of house arrest by Zhu Qiyu, the couple still worked hand in hand and did not abandon each other, and their feelings became deeper and deeper, but Empress Qian was injured, perhaps for other reasons, she could no longer give birth to a prince to Emperor Yingzong.
Because of the lack of children, Empress Qian's life became more and more difficult, and after Emperor Yingzong was restored, Zhu Jianshen restored her status as a prince, but she did not expect that her birth mother, Concubine Zhou Guifei, immediately attacked and instigated the internal prisoner to go to Empress Sun to provoke and depose the childless and disabled Empress Qian.
After this matter was learned by Emperor Yingzong, the Zhou clan was reprimanded, and the empress was still Yingzong's beloved wife Qian.
Having said that, Empress Qian's lack of a son is always a big problem, and the Zhou family is not a fuel-saving lamp, and Yingzong is naturally able to protect his wife in the world, but the future is really difficult to say.
According to the Regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the concubines who had no children were to be martyred, and Emperor Yingzong abolished the system that Taizu had restored at the end of his life, and he knew that the Zhou clan would never give up, so he left a will and testament, and in the future, the empress would be buried with her after thousands of years.
Yingzong's side had just kicked her legs, and sure enough, Zhou's side began to do things again, and she wanted to be the only empress dowager.
The Zhou clan made people declare that Empress Qian was childless and should be deposed according to the rules of Empress Hu of the Xuanzong Dynasty, and that the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty could only be her, the emperor's biological mother, but such a blatant challenge to the transcendental etiquette was naturally impossible for the Ming Dynasty scholars to allow.
According to the etiquette law, Qian's empress, as the mother of all imperial heirs, is the righteous empress dowager, but Xianzong's biological mother Zhou Shi also wants to be the empress dowager, and under the stalemate, the final agreement reached between Xianzong and the courtiers is that the two palace empresses are the same.
No matter how rogue the Zhou clan is, it can't help the former courtiers, Empress Qian is still right, she is the side, but the Zhou clan of course refuses to give up easily.
Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen was very filial to his birth mother, and the Zhou clan naturally had no fear, and although Empress Qian's status was high, after all, there was a layer between her and Emperor Xianzong, especially after the abolition of Emperor Xianzong, Empress Qian stood against Emperor Xianzong.
Originally, although it was said that the two palaces were the same, but Empress Qian had a badge, the Zhou clan did not, and later the dispute between the two palaces rose again, because of the problem of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, according to the etiquette and the testament of Emperor Yingzong, only the Qian family was eligible to be buried with Emperor Yingzong, but the Zhou family also wanted it.
The Zhou clan demanded that Empress Qian be buried alone, and that she herself be buried with Emperor Yingzong in the future, which naturally caused dissatisfaction in the former dynasty.
Zhou's delusions made Emperor Xianzong point out by the former courtiers, and the criticism was incessant, and in desperation, the Zhou clan could only give up, and Emperor Xianzong agreed to set aside two places on both sides of Emperor Yingzong's tomb, and in the future, Empress Qian and Empress Zhou would be buried in the imperial tomb.
However, the Zhou clan was not a good kind, she still secretly tricked the ghost, let the craftsmen seal the Yongdao between the tomb of Empress Qian and the tomb of Emperor Yingzong, and finally after Empress Qian's desolate death, she could not be buried with her husband underground.
Of course, the treatment that Empress Qian should enjoy on the surface is still complete, and there are all the posthumous and temples.
During the Chenghua period, Empress Qian was still buried in Yuling in the name of the main chamber, and after Empress Zhou died during the Hongzhi period, in addition to being buried in Yuling by means of tricks, there was no temple or posthumous, and her god lord was also removed to the Fengci Hall, not the Taimiao Temple.
