Looking at "Daming Fenghua", between Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong and Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, it can be described as the difference between cloud and mud. One is the generation of Ming Juns who created the "Rule of Ren Xuan" to create the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the generation of Ming Jun, who is disloyal and filial, dim and incompetent, and creates the change of tumu fort, the change of seizing the door, the chaos of Cao Shi, and the decline of Daming.
So why is there such a big gap between father and son? Even Empress Sun, Zhu Qizhen's mother, was much better at governing government affairs. Can't help but make people wonder if Zhu Qizhen will not be Empress Sun's biological son? This has created the situation of "Lao Tzu hero turtle egg".
In fact, such a statement is supported by historical data. In the Ming Shi. In the Biography of the Later Concubines: (Sun Shi) Concubines are also childless, and the Yin Dynasty Palace's son is his own son, that is, Yingzong Ye, who is favored by his relatives. Moreover, among the many wild histories, The practice of "yin taking the palace people" of Empress Sun is even more exquisitely portrayed, and it seems that Zhu Qizhen is not Empress Sun's own son.
For this view, this statement was adopted in the "Biography of the Female Doctor Mingfei" as a reason to explain the difference between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen. But is this view really true?
First of all, what we can think of is that the History of Ming, as a history book revised by the Qing Dynasty, has always been criticized for its authenticity. As the last of the twenty-four histories, the History of Ming has been compiled since the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, but it was not until the Kangxi Emperor, the Yongzheng Emperor, and until the fourth year of Qianlong that Zhang Tingyu finalized it, which lasted more than ninety years, which can be described as unique.
In the "History of Ming", the Manchu Qing even "tampered with and beautified" a series of real facts such as the fact that their ancestors were Ming Chen. Therefore, this record of Empress Sun is actually very doubtful, and empress Sun has gone through the six dynasties of Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Tianshun, and it is particularly noteworthy that Empress Xiaogong was also the grandmother and caretaker of Emperor Mingxianzong Zhu Jianshen (at this time, Zhu Qizhen was imprisoned by Zhu Qiyu in the Southern Palace).
Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, the eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was the son of Zhu Qizhen. As an emperor, he was different from his father's dimwitted, he had the brave style of his grandfather Zhu Zhanji, and he did not tolerate the Jianzhou Jurchen (the predecessor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty), who had been committing repeated offenses since the beginning of his term of office. In the face of the wanton plundering and killing of Daming's subjects by the Jianzhou Jurchen Dongshan (nurhaci's fifth ancestor), he adopted the act of "smashing its nest and eliminating its kind", and twice in the three years of Chenghua and twice in the tenth year of Chenghua ordered the army to enter and suppress the Jurchens of Jianzhou, and Dong Shan's generation also killed him.
It is precisely because of chenghua ploughing court that the Jurchens of Jianzhou have not dared to rebel for nearly a hundred years. But with the strength of the Manchu Qing and the entry of Dorgon into the Central Plains, they finally had the opportunity to write history.
Secondly, as a noble concubine, Sun Shi was difficult to "take the son of a palace" at that time. Not to mention, at that time, the Ming Dynasty set up a palace shoji in charge of the affairs of the palace and admonition, and there were detailed records of the emperor's every move, for the pregnancy of the noble concubine, the bedchamber of the palace maid, and the blessing of being fortunate, just to cover up the fact that the palace daughter had a child and became pregnant herself. Among them, although Sun Guifei was deeply loved by Emperor Xuanzong zhu Zhanji, how could she deceive Empress Zhang, Empress Hu, and Zhu Zhanji?
Pregnant in October, there are more doctors and other diagnoses, recorded, this is obviously in the hierarchical harem, for the Sun clan who is only a noble concubine.
Third, the Sun clan did not have the need to "take the son of the palace". At that time, as the "green plum bamboo horse" of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, he relied on the love of Empress Zhang's fellow villagers and Zhu Zhanji since he was a child, and was able to enter the palace of the Sun clan, which was deeply pleased by Zhu Zhanji. Although Hu Shanxiang became a concubine during the selection of concubines, she was more sacred than The Hu clan. Zhu Zhanji even set a precedent for her to have both a golden treasure and a golden book for her.
Moreover, as a noble concubine, at that time, she had already given birth to a daughter, Princess Changde, and Empress Hu could not have a sacred heart, and only gave birth to two princesses, which was not a big threat to her own status.
From this, we can almost conclude that this so-called "son of the Yin Dynasty" is more like a Manchu slanderous phrase. As for why Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen are so different, it is probably only the influence of the social environment on individuals under genetic inheritance.
