Yu Ge takes you to read the original work, and together watch the third time of the popular TV series "Daming Style".
From the original, go deeper.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di
The Yongle Emperor Zhu Di reigned for 23 years after snatching the emperor's throne from the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao.
In the end, he chose to pass the throne to Zhu Gaoxi, who was not physically good, but the crown prince Zhu Gaozi, who was known for his filial piety, gave up the killing of Zhu Gaoxi, the King of Han, who was very similar to him.
There are two reasons for this:
First, he felt that he had killed too much, and the world still needed the Lord of Benevolence to recuperate;
Second, it was because Zhu Gaozi's son, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, was really too good, and there were successors to the Son of Heaven.
History proves that Zhu Di's choice is correct.
Because after the Yongle prosperous world he created, this world continued under the rule of Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Zhanji, a father and son, and this prosperous world was continued, which is known in history as the "Rule of Renxuan".
Akihito Zhu Gaozi
Emperor Akihito, with the era name Hongxi, was crown prince for 20 years, but died of illness less than a year after becoming emperor.
This has a lot to do with his physical obesity, and it is rumored that he weighed more than 300 pounds at his heaviest.
During his reign as crown prince, because Zhu Di had many long-term imperial conquests, he undertook the burden of supervising the country.
Although he was not in good health, he did a very good job in supervising the country.
Although his reign was short, he did many practical things and made a good start and laid a good foundation for his son Zhu Zhanji.
He pardoned many of his former vassals during the Jianwen Emperor's reign and took revenge;
He encouraged agricultural production and open-minded politics;
He ended the war waged by the Yongle Emperor and allowed the people to recuperate.
Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang
When Zhu Zhanji married Hu Shanxiang, he was still the emperor's grandson.
In fact, he was not willing to marry Hu Shanxiang at all, but this was the imperial concubine that the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di had forcibly decreed, so it was not clear whether he was satisfied or not.
After Hu Shanxiang became Zhu Zhanji's concubine, he did not receive Zhu Zhanji's joy, but he was not deposed.
The reason for this is that the time has not yet come.
Later, due to Zhu Di's death, Zhu Zhanji was promoted to the first rank and became the crown prince, so Hu Shanxiang also became a princess concubine;
Then Zhu Gao collapsed, then Zhu Zhanji naturally finally reached the peak of his life and became an emperor, and Hu Shanxiang naturally became an empress.
But her life has always been difficult, because Zhu Zhanji did not like her at all, so she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for Zhu Zhanji.
So in the third year of Zhu Zhanji's reign as emperor, he deposed Hu Shanxiang and demoted her to Chang'an Palace.
Zhu Zhanji and Sun Ruowei
Sun Ruowei was famous for his beauty and intelligence at the age of 8.
Her identity in the palace, although her name was Princess Attendant, was actually a princess prepared for Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji and Sun Ruowei's childhood time was beautiful, they grew up together, and they admired each other very much.
However, because Zhu Di believed that her family and the crown princess's family belonged to the same place, they were afraid that their foreign relatives would make a big mess of politics, so they beat the Mandarin duck with a stick and forcibly demoted Sun Ruowei to a concubine.
Although Zhu Zhanji was very indignant and dissatisfied, he did not have the strength to rebel against his emperor Zhu Di at that time, and he could only wait until he had enough strength to help Sun Ruowei straighten out.
And this wait, that is, 8 years have passed.
It was not until his ancestor Zhu Di and his father Zhu Gaozi died one after another that he became emperor and began to act.
He first made Sun Ruowei a concubine and awarded a golden treasure.
In this way, Sun Ruowei became the first golden treasure in the history of Daming, and the noble concubines in the golden books were actually consistent with the empress.
In the second year of Zhu Zhanji's reign as emperor, Sun Ruowei gave birth to zhu Zhanji's first son.
Zhu Zhanji was very precious to this child, and within a hundred days, he had made this child the crown prince.
The son is precious by the mother, and has this by the head.
A year later, Zhu Zhanji deposed Hu Shanxiang and officially made Sun Ruowei empress, and the two lovers eventually became dependents.
Ming Yingzong Zhuqi Town
Zhu Zhanji reigned for 10 years, and finally died at the age of thirty-eight.
After Zhu Zhanji's death, his crown prince Zhu Qizhen successfully succeeded to the throne, and the emperor was only 9 years old this year, and Sun Ruowei also became the empress dowager.
In the 14th year of Zhu Qizhen's reign as emperor, he was captured by the wattle during the imperial conquest, which is known in history as the "Change of Tumu Fort".
During this period of great ming crisis, Sun Ruowei judged the situation and ordered Zhu Qiyu, the son of Zhu Zhanji's second son, to succeed him as the Jingtai Emperor.
Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen was a prisoner outside for a year, and under the stratagem of his mother, Sun Ruowei, he returned to Beijing.
However, at this time, the emperor had changed, and he was imprisoned in the Nangong for seven years, known as the "Emperor Taishang".
In the eighth year of Jingtai, with the secret help of his mother Sun Ruowei, he launched the "Change of Seizing the Door", successfully restored the throne, and changed the yuan to Tianshun.
It was difficult for him, the emperor, to think of it as a special one, he changed the yuan twice, he was called emperor twice, and he was captured by foreign tribes, which was unprecedented.
Emperor Mingying's zhu Qizhen was also thirty-eight years old when he finally died, the same yang life as his father Zhu Zhanji.
In fact, his life is lucky, especially his childhood is very beautiful, there is no brother to fight with him, his parents gave him all their love.
Therefore, in his posthumous will, the burial system of court concubines was abolished.
This is probably also because he understands what true "love" is.
Sun Ruowei's ending
From the age of 8 to 63, Sun Ruowei's life can be described as an endless experience.
She saw "Zheng He's voyage to the West" and experienced "Yongle Shengshi", "The Rule of Renxuan", "The Change of Tumu Fort" and "The Change of Seizing the Door".
Her love affair with the Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji can be described as a benchmark for empress dowager love.
She did not participate in politics but was able to maintain the society of Daming, which is legendary.
Sun Ruowei died in the sixth year of Tianshun, the sixth year after Emperor Mingyingzong's restoration.
After her death, she was buried with the Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji at Yujingling.
This also fulfilled the promise of their youth: to love each other in life and die in the same cave.
Sun Ruowei's modesty and light wisdom directly affected her family.
Even after her death, the Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen had great trust in the Sun family.
Although her family's glory as a foreign relative can be regarded as a grace, her people did not mess with the government and received a good death, which is unique throughout history.
This shows the greatness of a person, in addition to her own greatness, her influence on future generations is also a concrete embodiment.
Sun Ruowei is indeed a great woman.
