In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated the last two fierce enemies: Chen Youyi and Zhang Shicheng. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang established Daming in Yingtian, and was known as Ming Taizu in history. During the reign of Myeong-tae, out of political necessity, Korea would pay tribute to the harem.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had two Goryeo concubines: Concubine Han and Concubine Zhou. Among them, Concubine Han gave birth to the fourteenth princess for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was later named Princess Hanshan. This Princess Hanshan was very talented, not only after seven dynasties and eight emperors, but also lived to the age of 82.
First, the princess arrived
Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founder of the Ming Dynasty, formulated many laws and norms of the previous dynasty. As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang's number of concubines can be said to be one of the highest in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the number of his children is also the largest in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to a total of twenty-six princes and sixteen imperial daughters. Without the huge harem as a support, perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang would not have so many children. Zhu Yuanzhang had a total of one queen, seventeen concubines, and one beauty, as well as unsealed concubines.
For example, The birth mother of Zhu Yi of Su, the mother of Princess Hanshan, the mother of King Qing, the Yu clan, the mother of King Ning, the mother of King Min, and the mother of King Han, the Zhou clan. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang had at least twenty-four harem concubines and female emperors in the harem, and these were only a corner of the harem.
In 1381, Concubine Han gave birth to the fourteenth imperial daughter for Ming Taizu. Later, this woman was given the title of Princess of Hanshan. As one of Zhu Yuanzhang's many children, Princess Hanshan seemed to be small and transparent.
She was neither as important as Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son, nor as innocent as Baoqing, Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest princess. Most importantly, Princess Hanshan's birth mother, Han Shi, was a foreign woman and could not get along well with the harem concubines.
Han Shan grew up in such an environment, but because Han Concubine was not favored, she naturally could not become a thorn in the eyes of other concubines. Hanshan naturally did not become the object of jealousy or even suspicion of other concubines, and Princess Hanshan did not receive much attention and grew up like this.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang's harem was full, the age span of all his princes and imperial daughters was very large. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son, Zhu Biao, was born in 1355 AD, and his youngest Princess Baoqing was born in 1395 AD, a full forty years apart.
Princess Hanshan, as the fourteenth princess of Zhu Yuanzhang, was 14 years older than her sister Princess Baoqing. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's several princes, he was also an age that could be favored by his brothers. Although Princess Hanshan is not very prominent among the princes and empresses, she is considered to be one of the better fates.
Second, marry an ordinary person
As the only princess of the Ming Dynasty with Goryeo ancestry, Princess Hanshan lived a fairly smooth life. When she was fifteen years old, Zhu Yuanzhang promised her to Yin Qing. Because Yin Qingguan went to the governor of the capital, Princess Hanshan was considered to be married.
However, although Yin Qing's official position was not high, he treated Princess Hanshan very well. Soon after the marriage, Princess Hanshan continued the bloodline to the Yin family. However, Yin Qing died of a sudden illness while the child was still swaddling. Since then, Princess Hanshan has been dependent on her children for her life.
Unlike ordinary people, if an ordinary woman loses her husband and does not have the protection of her mother's family, she must have a very unsatisfactory life. However, Princess Hanshan is after all a true princess of the Ming Dynasty, and even if she loses her husband, her life will not be too depressed.
Usually, princesses who marry are rewarded by the emperor. However, the amount of reward was entirely up to the emperor's liking. Although Princess Hanshan was not very favored, she did not let her have too hard time with her children.
Princesses of the Ming Dynasty generally had two kinds of rewards: one was daily necessities such as Aya Luo satin, and the other was the reward of Zhuangtian. Although Princess Hanshan did not get much from her father, fortunately she was very healthy. Every time the new emperor ascended the throne, she received a reward.
In addition to the reward, princess Hanshan can also be promoted to a title. When the new emperor ascended the throne, Princess Hanshan and Princess Ningguo, Princess Huaiqing, Daimyo, Nankang, Yongjia, Ruyang and Baoqing were all crowned as Princess Dachang, and the number of years also increased a lot.
In addition, Princess Hanshan also received two hundred stones and nine hundred stones of Lumi,000 natural color folding notes, although compared to several other favored princesses, the reward was much less. However, after all, each princess has different feelings for the new emperor. Princess Hanshan is not picky, after all, it is better to talk than nothing.
After Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne that year, he rewarded several princesses, including Princess Hanshan, with 200 taels of platinum, dozens of silk and silk horses, and 20,000 pieces of silver. The reason why Princess Hanshan ascended the throne in the new emperor was because she received more and more rewards because she was living longer and longer.
Third, the longest-lived princess
The Ming Dynasty had such a rule that if a princess lived a higher life, the longer the dynasty she went through, the more rewards she received. However, the new emperor's reward to the eldest princesses was more of a courtesy care. After all, the princesses are at least above the aunt in terms of generation.
However, since the death of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Princess Hanshan's popularity has become better and better. Among them, the most important reason is that princess Hanshan lives longer and longer. The sisters who had grown up with her had all passed away. Even her youngest sister, Princess Baoqing, was gone, but Princess Hanshan was still alive.
Princess Hanshan was the last of Zhu Yuanzhang's children to die. She lived until tianshun for six years, and she was eighty and two years old. Emperor Yingzong took good care of Princess Hanshan, not only adding many rewards to Princess Hanshan, but also personally writing a congratulatory letter on her birthday.
According to the generation, Princess Hanshan was already the maternal aunt of Emperor Yingzong. "There are more than forty princes and princesses born to Gao Zu, but those who enjoy a high life expectancy are now the ancestors of one!" There was a lack of use of the edict, and the special eunuch sent a pearl and green sideburns, a thousand gold hundred and two, and dozens of silk silk horses to show his heart! ”
Emperor Yingzong was very filial and not only rewarded his aunt Princess Hanshan with 100 taels of gold, but also countless jewels of various kinds. Although there was not much affection between Emperor Yingzong and Princess Hanshan, Princess Hanshan, as The younger sister of Zhu Di, emperor Yingzong actually made this move to reflect the meaning of sympathy for the elders.
More importantly, Emperor Yingzong's approach conveyed a spirit to the people of the whole country. No matter how high the seat is, first of all, do not forget the blood relatives, and secondly, it is more conducive to rule by filial piety.
summary
Princess Hanshan lived from the year of her father Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwu to the ming Yingzong period, although princess Hanshan was not happy in the early years. At a young age, she became an orphan without her mother's love, but after marriage, the horse treated her very well.
When the horse died, Princess Hanshan had just turned eighteen. Someone else's eighteen-year-old had just become sensible, and Princess Hanshan's eighteen-year-old had become a strong mother for her children. However, the identity of Princess Hanshan made her life much more smooth in the future, and the eight emperors of the Ming Dynasty became the eternal patrons of Princess Hanshan.
