One day, the noble concubine Sun Clan said to Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji: "The concubine is under the love of His Majesty, and the decanter has not arrived for more than a month, thinking that it is..." He said, and lowered his head with infinite shyness. Zhu Zhanji understood the meaning of Sun's words in a second, and he put his arm around Sun and solemnly said, "If Concubine Ai can give birth to a prince for Yuan, She will abolish the Hu clan and make you empress instead." ”
At this time, Zhu Zhanji was thirty years old, but he never had a son, and the royal family paid the most attention to heirs, because there was indeed an imperial throne to inherit. Therefore, Zhu Zhanji was worried and very anxious, and this good news of the Sun clan came just in time, and he hoped that the heavens could give him a prince, especially the prince born of the Sun clan.
Pregnant in October, a childbirth, and finally arrived at the day of Sun's childbirth, in Zhu Zhanji's thousands of expectations, Sun Clan did give birth to a son, Zhu Zhanji was so happy that he was almost crazy, he ordered on the spot: Amnesty for the world, exempt the people from one-third of the tax. At the same time, his promise to Sun Guifei was also put on the agenda, that is, to be abolished and re-established.
In fact, Zhu Zhanji's desire to abolish the queen was by no means a temporary intention, from the first day of his big wedding, he was not satisfied with this empress, the reason was that he did not like the Hu clan, he really liked the Sun clan of Qingmei Bamboo Horse, and the birth of the prince brought opportunities to him after the abolition.
Sun Ruowei's name is Sun Ruowei, and her father is the master of Yongcheng County, she has been intelligent and clever since she was a child, good-looking, and endearing. Therefore, favored by Zhu Zhanji's maternal grandmother Lady Pengcheng, Sun Ruowei was led into the palace by Lady Pengcheng when she was ten years old, and was trained as an important candidate for the imperial concubine.
That year, Zhu Zhanji was following his imperial grandfather Zhu Di to the northern expedition to Mongolia, and when he returned home, he saw this cute little girl, and at a glance, he liked Sun Ruowei, and Sun Ruowei also liked him. Two people green plum bamboo horse, two small no guess, spent two years of happy time together.
Zhu Zhanji had already identified Sun Ruowei in his heart, thinking that his wife was none other than Sun Ruowei. However, contrary to his wishes, in 1417, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di personally proposed the marriage of his grandson, but the candidate was not Sun Ruowei, but Hu Shanxiang, who was known for his virtuousness, and Sun Ruowei could only be relegated to the concubine position. This was completely contrary to Zhu Zhanji's wishes, but he could not disobey the Emperor's grandfather's holy will, so his heart was full of regret for Sun Ruowei.
Hu Shanxiang was quite famous, but because Zhu Zhanji was resistant at the beginning, he never wanted to see her. Zhu Zhanji is a fun-loving person, even after he ascended the throne, what archery, horseback riding, polo... Fighting Cockroach, in particular, is his favorite game.
The so-called plaything lost his mind, not to mention that he was still the king of a country, as the empress, Hu Shanxiang felt that he had the responsibility to persuade him to take his heart back and put it on the major affairs of the country, but her bitter mouth did not receive the expected effect, but caused great annoyance to the emperor. I thought to myself: "Sooner or later I will ruin you."
Compared with Empress Hu, Sun Guifei can be said to be more understanding, Sun Ruowei has been with Zhu Zhanji for two years after all, and she knows Zhu Zhanji better than anyone. She would encourage Zhu Zhanji when he was at a low point, enlighten him when he was sad, and even if she lost the position of the right wife she had dreamed of, she did not show dissatisfaction, which made Zhu Zhanji love her more and more and do everything possible to compensate her.
As an emperor, Zhu Zhanji had many women, but he was still a long-term emperor. His feelings for Sun Ruowei remained unchanged throughout his life, and although Sun Ruowei was a noble concubine, her treatment was no different from that of the empress, but her name was different.
According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, only the empress will have a gold book and a golden treasure, and a noble concubine will only have a gold book and no gold treasure. The so-called golden book is an edict made of gold leaf, and the golden treasure is a large seal representing the identity of the queen made of gold.
In order to compensate Sun Ruowei, Zhu Zhanji went to his mother Empress Zhang, hoping that she could make a precedent for Sun and give Sun a golden seal. Empress Zhang thought that it was contrary to the ancestral system and did not want to make an exception, but she could not bear to brush her son's face, and reluctantly gave Sun a noble concubine gold seal. This move set a precedent for the Ming harem system.
Now that the noble concubine had given birth, Zhu Zhanji felt that it was time to fulfill his promise. However, Empress Hu did not have any fault, and after being abolished for no reason, it would even shake the foundation of the country, and she must be cautious.
So he summoned a group of ministers and asked them to give advice to him, and many ministers opposed his decision, but Zhu Zhanji had already made up his mind and would not change it. In the end, he adopted the advice of a minister, and after returning to the palace, he had a long conversation with Empress Hu and let Hu take the initiative to abdicate, which not only eliminated the adverse influence, blocked the mouths of the Youyou, but also let the Hu family not be too embarrassed.
In March 1428, Zhu Zhanji abolished Empress Hu Shanxiang and installed Sun Ruowei as empress. Sun Ruowei's wish was finally fulfilled.
Sun Ruowei's life has gone through six generations of Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, Jingtai and Tianshun, and is an extremely important empress in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
During the reign of her son Zhu Qizhen, there was a famous "change in Tumu Fort" in history, Ming Yingzong was captured by Wa Lai, the CHAOS in the DPRK and China, the dangers were fraught, and the Ming army threw rats and rats, and was constrained everywhere. Sun Ruowei faced with the situation in which her son was captured and his life and death were unpredictable, judged the hour and sized up the situation, put the overall situation first, and decisively let Zhu Qiyu, the crown prince of Shu, take the throne, stabilized the situation, and saved Daming.
Later generations have mixed reviews of this empress, mainly focusing on the matter of Zhu Zhanji's posthumous demise, and some people say that she is a generation of demon queens. The right and wrong have long been covered up by the dust of history, but the wise decisions she made in the "Change of The Earth Fort" are still worthy of praise by future generations. #历史 #
