Recently, the popular TV series "Daming Fenghua" has entered the public's field of vision. Hu Shanxiang in the play is a negative character, she is vengeful, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, colluding with the King of Han, and finally being deposed. But the real Hu Shanxiang in history still has many differences from the TV series.
Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei were both empresses of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, but the difference was that they were only love enemies and were not related by blood.
Hu Shanxiang is not like the character setting of the orphans in the TV series, Hu Shanxiang's father is Hu Rong, a Jinyi wei baihu. Hu Rong is loyal and has a simple personality, and he treats people with a board and a glance. And his daughter Hu Shanxiang, because of the influence of her father, is naturally dignified in behavior, elegant in demeanor, and a style of everyone's beauty.
According to legend, the day before Hu Shanxiang was born, his father Hu Rong had a strange dream about a god who told him that their family was about to become prominent. The next day, Hu Shanxiang was born. This girl, from an early age, is very disciplined, steady, and demure and elegant.
In the fifteenth year of Yongle, emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty ordered that the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji at that time be elected as the emperor's grandson. Zhu Di once stipulated that the candidate for the royal concubine must be an ordinary family with a clean foundation, so Hu Shanxiang, who was not born tall, was eligible to participate in the selection.
Hu Shanxiang was born with a dignified demeanor and elegant temperament, although his appearance is not overwhelming, but he can definitely be regarded as an outstanding temperament. As soon as Hu Shanxiang appeared, he was deeply liked by Empress Zhang, Zhu Di's daughter-in-law.
With a dignified and heavy personality, coupled with the favor of his future mother-in-law, Hu Shanxiang was fortunate enough to become the imperial concubine and become Zhu Zhanji's wife. Later, Zhu Zhanji became emperor, and Hu Shanxiang also naturally became an empress. At this time, her mother-in-law, Empress Zhang, became Empress Zhang.
Hu Shanxiang, who became empress, although he was recognized by the empress, but did not get the heart of her husband Zhu Zhanji. In Zhu Zhanji's heart, his favorite is his grandson Guifei, that is, Sun Ruowei.
Zhu Zhanji and Sun Ruowei can be described as young plum bamboo horses, Sun Ruowei has a flexible mind, is beautiful and intelligent, and is deeply loved by Zhu Zhanji. Hu Shanxiang, on the other hand, has a stable temperament, but he has the demeanor of a mother in the world, but he does not have the same interest as Sun Guifei, and is naturally not welcomed by Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji always wanted to abolish The position of Empress Hu Shanxiang and make his grandson Guifei empress. However, one thing, Hu Shanxiang has a dignified and serious personality, treats people gently, and has no obvious mistakes. Second, there is the support of her mother-in-law, Empress Zhang, for Hu Shanxiang. As a result, Zhu Zhanji was unable to open his mouth for a long time.
A few years later, Sun Guifei gave birth to a baby boy for Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed, and immediately made this baby boy crown prince, and with an iron heart, he wanted to make Sun Guifei empress.
Zhu Zhanji proposed to depose Hu Shanxiang's successor on the grounds that hu Shanxiang had been in the palace for many years and still had no heirs. This reason for his abolition was not only opposed by Empress Zhang, but even the Manchu Dynasty Minister of Culture and Military Affairs felt that this reason was not enough to abolish the queen and did not support him in abolishing the queen.
Later, Zhu Zhanji began to persuade Hu Shanxiang to take the initiative to give up her throne, and promised that he would be better for her in the future and would still treat her as an empress.
In the face of Zhu Zhanji's persuasion, Hu Shanxiang softened his heart for a moment and agreed to Zhu Zhanji's request. She offered to give up her back seat, and When Manchu Wenwu saw Hu Shanxiang's actions, it was not good to say anything more.
Hu Shanxiang, who had been stripped of his title as empress, was moved to Chang'an Palace to serve as a Daogu and a Jing Ci Immortal Master.
However, her mother-in-law, Empress Zhang, still most recognized empress Hu and often summoned her to her palace to nag her family. Every time there is a banquet, Hu Shanxiang's seat will also be arranged above Empress Sun, which shows her recognition of Hu Shanxiang.
In the seventh year of orthodoxy, Empress Zhang died of illness. The following year, Hu Shanxiang also died immediately after her death, and after her death, her title was still Jing Ci Xian Shi, and she was buried as a concubine.
Later, after Empress Sun's son Ming Yingzong ascended the throne, Ming Yingzong's wife, Empress Qian, proposed to Ming Yingzong that she posthumously grant the title of Empress HuShanxiang. In the seventh year of Tianshun, Hu Shanxiang was posthumously awarded the title of "Empress Gong rang Chengshun Kangmu Jing cizhang".
Hu Shanxiang's life was tragic. She did not do anything wrong, dignified and heavy, gentle and family-oriented, but only because her husband, Zhu Zhanji, was not happy with herself, she had no choice but to resign from the position of empress, and she did not get the title of empress after her death.
But Hu Shanxiang's life is also lucky. She was not born tall, she was able to be selected to become the imperial concubine, and fortunately became an empress, even after being deposed, she still had the support of her mother-in-law Empress Zhang, which was inseparable from her kindness and gentleness.
As the saying goes, people are good and are deceived, and horses are good to be ridden. This sentence really makes sense!
