Zhu Zhanji has been deeply loved by his grandfather Zhu Di since childhood, and later was made the emperor's grandson, when he was fifteen years old, his grandfather Zhu Di gave him a family affair, the woman is the third daughter of Hu Shanxiang, who is one year older than him, Jinyi Wei Baihu Hu Rong, since it is an arrangement, there is definitely no emotional basis in it, so Zhu Zhanji is not cold to girls, but Hu Shanxiang, suddenly falling generously, polite, Grandpa Zhu Di is very optimistic.
In the first year of Xuande (1426), Zhu Zhanji, the emperor, took the throne as Emperor Xuanzong of Ming. Hu Shanxiang was promoted from princess to empress, and Concubine Sun was also promoted to noble concubine. Although Hu Shanxiang was well-mannered and virtuous, he was not favored by Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Zhanji's favorite was the shrewd and scheming Sun Guifei. Hu Shanxiang's mother was in the world, and after regularly advising the young Zhu Zhanji to restrain his heart and love the people, this further aroused Zhu Zhanji's dissatisfaction, and he often told his mother Empress Zhang about Hu Shanxiang's black form. Hu Shanxianggui was the empress, and according to the Ming ceremony, only the empress gave the golden book treasure, and the noble concubine only had the book and no treasure. However, Zhu Zhanji favored Sun Guifei and made an exception to win a golden treasure for Sun Guifei. It can be seen that Zhu Zhanji and Sun Guifei were deliberately trying to seize the empress's throne. However, Hu Shanxiang's gong mingxiande did not lose his morality, and Zhu Zhanji had no reason to abolish her.
At that time, in a feudal society, it was impossible to spread branches for the royal family without heirs, so Zhu Zhanji seized the opportunity to use this as an excuse to depose Empress Hu and take the opportunity to promote Sun Guifei as the new empress. In order to block the mouths of the people, Zhu Zhanji also made a promise that Empress Hu Shanxiang would be deposed, but she still enjoyed the treatment of an empress. Seeing this, my friends should have their own judgment in their hearts, but I still think that the emperor has never regretted it, because there is no so-called love between Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang. From beginning to end, Zhu Zhanji was waiting for an opportunity and did not consider Hu Shanxiang's feelings, so he said in his later years that he regretted feeling very perfunctory.
After Zhu Zhanji himself ascended to the throne, he did not like the Hu clan and was determined to abolish the empress. This is also the queen's aura placed under the eyes of everyone, so it took a lot of trouble after the abolition. If you were to deal with other women, it would be like pinching an ant to death. In short, what the emperor wants to do, the opposition of others is invalid, who can help him? The Hu clan was unable to give birth to a prince for Zhu Zhanji, and only gave birth to two princesses. This became a major sin for her, and it just so happened that Sun Shi gave birth to a son, which made Zhu Zhanji have an explanation.
