In 1398, when Zhu Yuanzhang was dying, he suddenly issued an edict and ordered 46 concubines and palace ladies who had served him to be martyred, of which 38 were ordered to die during the funeral.
The concubines and palace ladies who were originally sobbing in the palace suddenly turned into a howling cry when they suddenly heard this cold and irrevocable edict. A few of the concubines didn't even cry out loud, and they fainted after listening to the edict.
Three days later, the Daming harem in Nanjing City was in turmoil, and the guards were acting as handmaidens, putting ropes on the concubines and palace ladies who had been ordered to die, strangling them one by one, and with a cry of despair, all of Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines, except Zhang Meiren, were forced to commit suicide and be martyred.
When everything was still, Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils suddenly dilated, and soon he closed his eyes forever, at this time a gloomy death breath filled the Daming Palace.
Until this moment, Zhang Meiren was still curled up in a corner and shivering, and she was originally upset about giving birth to her daughter, but now she held her daughter tightly in her arms.
If it were not for this daughter, she would have been strangled alive today like these sisters, because at the end of the edict, there was one more article: "Because Princess Baoqing was young, she was raised by her mother Zhang Meiren." ”
It was precisely because of Zhu Yuanzhang's compassion before his death that he made a special case for Princess Baoqing, which left a way for her mother to live.
Princess Baoqing is Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest daughter, from childhood to pure personality, since Zhu Yuanzhang was ill, Zhang Meiren inevitably went to greet Ann every day, And Princess Baoqing followed Zhang Meiren closely every day.
Zhu Yuanzhang lay on his dragon bed, his cloudy eyes looking at the people who came to him. He was tired of these guys with their faces guarded, and he wanted to kill them all!
Suddenly, Princess Baoqing playfully walked to her father's bed and said in a milky voice, "Is the father emperor tired?" As long as the Father emperor rests well, he will become alive and well! “
Zhu Yuanzhang held his daughter's warm little hand and thought to himself, he has fought a lifelong battle for daming and for future generations, who really cares about him? Ever asked him if he was tired? Do you want to rest?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that this little child cared more about himself than all those who appeared at his hospital bed combined. After drinking the medicine, Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed everyone and added a few more words to the will. And it was these few words that allowed Princess Baoqing's mother, Zhang Meiren, to escape the disaster.
In 1402, when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne, Princess Baoqing was only 8 years old, and Zhu Di specially ordered Empress Xu to take care of this sister. Empress Xu was generous and benevolent, and regarded Princess Baoqing as her own, and it can be said that Princess Baoqing lived carefree in the palace until the age of 19.
Once, when Zhu Di passed by the Jinchuan Gate, he immediately caught a glimpse of Zhao Hui, the guard of the city gate at the time, and made him princess baoqing's horse master. The "History of Ming" records: "In the eleventh year of Yongle, Hui guarded the Jinchuan Gate with a thousand households, and for more than twenty years, he was magnificent in appearance, so he chose to be the lord of Shang. ”
And this Zhao Hui was just a petty official with a thousand heads of households, and Zhu Di thought that as Princess Baoqing, he could definitely restrain this horse master, but Zhu Di was very wrong.
Although Zhao Hui seems to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Si Siwen, in fact, behind his back, he is a complete scumbag, he has a good temperament with Princess Baoqing, not a hot and powerful master, and secretly occupies the palace.
After Zhu Di's death, Princess Baoqing's life without shelter was even more miserable. Zhao Hui began to flaunt his might, bully the market, and curry favor with the powerful, not only not taking Princess Baoqing in his eyes, but even exposing his wandering nature, and constantly recruiting good women, in order to satisfy his special hobby of "eating women Yin Jin Yue Shui".
In 1433, the 39-year-old Princess Baoqing finally died of melancholy under the torment of her husband's snub and betrayal, and did not puncture his true face until his death.
After the death of Princess Baoqing, Zhao Hui lived to the age of 90 and served six emperors in his lifetime: Chengzu, Renzong, Xuanzong, Yingzong, Jingdi, and Xianzong. The "History of Ming" records: "Hui zhi Chenghua died in the twelfth year. In all the six dynasties, he was in charge of the governor of Nanjing and the affairs of the zongren government. The family is rich and luxurious, the concubines are more than 100 people, and those who enjoy wealth and nobility are more than 60 years old, and the life expectancy is 90. ”
It is a pity that Zhao Hui was originally a small thousand households, just because he took the peach blossom luck of the princess, he was able to rely on the identity of the horse master for a lifetime, the wealth was doubled, there were more than 100 concubines in the palace, and he accumulated a huge wealth by relying on the fat difference in charge of the Nanjing Governor's Mansion and the Zongren Mansion, and what is even more incredible is that such a scumbag who bullied men and women and had a chaotic private life actually lived to the age of 90 and was able to die, you say that people are not angry?
