The Ming Dynasty is a dynasty that many people are very interested in, not only because of the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, "the Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the society", but more because many of the kings of the Ming Dynasty are very strange. What is even more speechless is that the Ming Emperor is strange, but the operation of the whole world has not been affected. The two hundred and seventy-six years of the Ming Dynasty were not short among the feudal dynasties.
One of the Ming emperors I want to talk about in this article is Ming Xianzong. Ming Xianzong only favored one person in his life, and that was his nanny, Wan Guifei. According to her age, Wan Guifei was seventeen years older than Ming Xianzong, what charm did she have that could make Ming Xianzong always favor her and her grace?
Ming Xianzong's experience before he ascended the throne was very tortuous and uneasy
Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, his father is the protagonist of our famous "Change of Tumu Fort", Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen. At that time, Zhu Qizhen ignored the opposition of the people and insisted on leading the troops out on the expedition. Because of the inadequate preparation and the rumors of the eunuch Wang Zhen. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were defeated by the Wallachians, and even Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen himself was captured.
When Emperor Ming Yingzong was captured, the Ming Dynasty did not sit still, and Zhu Qiyu, the King of Qi, was appointed to oversee the state, and at the same time, Empress Sun made Zhu Jianlian the crown prince at the age of three. Subsequently, in order to avoid the Ming Dynasty being threatened by the Wallachians with Emperor Ming Yingzong as a bargaining chip, Empress Sun temporarily decided to make Zhu Qiyu the Prince of Qi the Emperor of Ming Dynasty crown emperor.
After Emperor Ming came to power, he reused Qian and others to repel the Wallachians in the defense of Beijing and save the Daming Dynasty. However, Emperor Ming, who had tasted power, would not easily give up the throne, so he refused to take Ming Yingzong back from the Wallachians.
Not only that, in order to make himself emperor forever, he also deposed Zhu Jianshen, the crown prince, and established his own son as the prince instead. However, perhaps by fate, this son of Emperor Mingzong not only died prematurely, but even he himself was seriously ill afterwards, so that Emperor Mingyingzong seized the opportunity to launch the "Change of Seizing the Door" and lost the throne.
After Emperor Mingying ascended the throne again, he once again made Zhu Mishen crown prince. At this time, Zhu Jianshen's position as crown prince was stable.
It can be seen that although Zhu Jianshen was made crown prince early, the Ming Dynasty at that time was at a critical juncture of life and death. The crisis was lifted, and his position as prince was taken away. That is to say, although Zhu Jianshen was twice the crown prince, he never enjoyed the glory given to him by the prince. On the contrary, because of this position as prince, he has always lived in fear.
And at such a difficult moment for Zhu Jianshen, the only person who has been accompanying him is himself, the nanny Wan Zhen'er, that is, Wan Guifei.
After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, Li Wanzhen'er's subsequent affairs were hindered in every way, deepening his guilt towards Wan Zhen'er
Zhu Jianshen's childhood was very tragic, and he had to become emperor, and when he wanted to compensate Wan Zhen'er, who had always been with him, reality gave him a head slap. Because Wan Zhen'er was from a humble background, the courtiers and empress dowagers all opposed Wan Zhen'er as empresses.
In such a situation, even if Zhu Jianshen was an emperor, he could not forcibly establish a queen. In desperation, he had no choice but to make Emperor Wu's daughter Empress and Wan Zhen'er a noble concubine. In order to make up for Wan Guifei, Zhu Jianshen was more fond of her and completely ignored the young and beautiful Empress Wu.
Empress Wu saw how she could bear it, so she ordered someone to use a staff to torture Wan Zhen'er. The consequence of this fight was that after Zhu Jianshen was deposed, he changed to another person and pampered Wan Guifei even more. This is not to mention, Wan Guifei also gave birth to a son for Zhu Jianshen in her later years, but she died early. This made him feel even more guilty about Wan Guifei.
It can be said that after Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne as emperor, although he repeatedly wanted to compensate Wan Guifei, he repeatedly let Wan Guifei be wronged, and under this circumstance, Zhu Jianshen became more and more guilty and more and more fond of Wan Guifei.
Conclusion
The reason why Wan Guifei was able to win Zhu Jianshen's favor alone is that I think it is because Wan Guifei has always accompanied Zhu Jianshen.
