Let the weak water be three thousand, and I will only take one scoop to drink. - "Dream of the Red Chamber"
In the ninety-first episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Fu has fully recognized that Xue Baochao is the best choice for Jia Baoyu. However, Baoyu had already fallen in love with Daiyu, but Daiyu was not sure what Baoyu had in mind for her since childhood, so he asked Baoyu how he felt about Baochao. Baoyu knew exactly what Dai Yu was thinking, so he said the words "weak water three thousand only take a scoop" to tell him his unwavering love for Dai Yu.
In ancient society, it was the most normal thing for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and there were very few who could really take only one scoop, especially the emperor above ten thousand people, that is, the harem beauty of three thousand people, even to the most tragic last emperor Puyi, also married Wanrong and Wenxiu two wives.
But one of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty really loved only one person in his life, he was Zhu Youfan, the Ming Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his only wife was also an empress, that is, Empress Xiaokangjing Zhang.
A miserable childhood
During the Ming Dynasty, a toast system was established, which was equivalent to letting the local kings of the frontier lands administer the local area. The Guangxi Tusi Ji family supported the army and respected themselves, and rebelled. After Emperor Mingxianzong Zhu Sawen suppressed the Rebellion of the Ji family, the Ji family's miss Ji Shi was captured and sent to the palace to do things.
One day, Chumi Saw that Kishi was as beautiful as a flower, and he was lucky to meet Kishi, and Kishi became pregnant. However, Zhu Jianshen's favorite in his life was Wan Guifei, but after Wan Guifei learned that Ji Shi was pregnant, she immediately sent someone to remove the child in Ji Shi's belly.
But Ji Shi was kind and sincere, and was very popular in the palace, and the people who were sent could not bear to harm her, so he returned to Wan Guifei and said that after the examination of the Tai Doctor, it was found that there was only a sarcoma in Ji's stomach, and she was not pregnant. Wan Guifei was still not at ease, and with the grace of the emperor, she beat Ji Shi into the cold palace.
In 1470, Ji Shi gave birth to his son Zhu Youfan in the Cold Palace, and when Wan Guifei learned of this, she immediately sent zhang min, a gatekeeper, to drown the crown prince. However, after Zhang Min saw the kind and beautiful Ji Clan and the young prince, his heart was really unbearable, so he took the little prince Zhu Youfan away to raise him, and lied to Wan Guifei that he had eliminated the prince.
As a crown prince, Zhu Youfan grew up drinking rice noodles and the milk of Empress Wu, who was framed by Wan Guifei and deposed. In 1476, although Zhu Jianshen was only 28 years old, he often felt that his heart was weak and his body was sick, so he lamented that he still had no sons after so many years.
Zhang Min was combing Zhu Mishen's hair, so he informed Zhu Mishen about the crown prince Zhu Youshen. Zhu saw that he was deeply pleased, and immediately took the prince into the palace, and when he saw the little prince who was weak and had not removed his fetal hair, he burst into tears and immediately issued an edict, making the crown prince Zhu Youfan the crown prince and Ji Shijin as a concubine.
Take only one scoop
Zhu Youfan grew up slowly since then, but because of his poor childhood, he was frail and sickly. In 1487, Zhang was summoned to the palace and crowned as a crown princess. The 16-year-old Zhang Shi began to take care of and accompany the 17-year-old Zhu Youfan meticulously, giving Zhu Youfan, who had been threatened by Wan Guifei, great comfort.
As a result, the two soon fell in love. Not long after the results, Wan Guifei fell ill and died. Zhu Mishen also became depressed and died in August. Zhu Youfan ascended the throne in September and immediately made Zhang shi his empress.
Zhu Youfan was hostile and persecuted by Wan Guifei from an early age, and even his own mother Ji Shi probably died at the hands of Wan Guifei. Therefore, he knew very well how dangerous the harem was, and Wan Guifei had also been chaotic, which made Zhu Youfan have no interest in enriching the harem, plus he loved his wife Zhang Shi very much, so he had already held the idea of being the only one in this life.
Zhu Youfan took over the leadership of his father Zhu Jianshen and began to exert great efforts to govern the government diligently and love the people; politically, he vigorously carried out reforms, eliminated traitors, and also gave great relief to the people.
While working his career, Zhu Youfan has never snubbed his wife Zhang Shi. They slept together, read and discussed, and were both lovers and confidants. The two were married for 18 years, never quarreled, and never loved as usual, so until Zhu Youfan's death in 1505, he did not take a concubine and a concubine, and accompanied Zhang shi to death.
