In 1435, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming died, and the crown prince Zhu Qizhen took the throne, and before his death, Emperor Xuanzong repeatedly read the concubine's funeral table 7 times, and finally did not remove Empress Sun Ruowei, which was derived from Empress Sun's words: "Our son still has salvation." ”
Since Zhu Yuanzhang restored the concubine martyrdom system, it was difficult for the concubines of the Ming Dynasty to escape this disaster. Sun Shi was Zhu Zhanji's lover of Qingmei Zhuma, and he was the woman who betrayed the etiquette and pushed to the throne of the empress in spite of the opposition of his courtiers.
He loved her, perhaps more than himself, so that day he asked her, "If I die, will you be buried for me?" ”
If you say yes, I don't think anyone is willing to be forced to die, with the character of Empress Sun, she is not a person who is afraid of death, and she will not compete with Hu Shanxiang for the position of empress in the first place.
She was not afraid, she was not willing to die like this, thinking about malnutrition, Zhu Qizhen, who could not stand up until now, Sun Ruowei said this sentence: "Our son still has salvation." ”
Sun Ruowei is empress Dowager Sun in "Daming Fenghua", and we will call her Empress Sun in order to fit the historical facts.
Empress Sun lived with her father Sun Zhong in Yongcheng County as a child. One day, Lady Peng Chengbo, the mother of Zhu Di's crown princess Zhang, coincidentally met the little girl Sun Shi, and immediately fell in love, and soon Lady Peng Chengbo heard that Zhu Di was going to choose a spouse for the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, so she recommended the 10-year-old Sun Clan to enter the palace, put her daughter Zhang Shi to raise her, and the Zhang clan taught her court etiquette.
To this end, Zhu Zhanji, who often went in and out of the harem, met with the Sun family, and the two could be said to be green plum bamboo horses and grew up together. Soon, this two small unsuspecting feelings developed into an unbreakable love.
Zhu Zhanji and Sun Shihua made countless promises before the moon, and when he ascended the throne, he would make her queen.
In 1417, Si Tianjian suddenly came to report that Houxing would appear in Shandong, and Zhu Di immediately ordered the eunuch to go looking for it, only to find that Hu Rong's third daughter Hu Shanxiang was the houxing of the heavens, so he ordered her to enter the palace.
This is obviously a bureau, and the bureau of Lady Hook Yi of the former dynasty did the same, but the Heavenly Son was willing to believe that the heavens descended on Xiangrui and protected the descendants of Wandai, so on the day of Zhu Zhanji's big wedding, because of the beginning of si Tianjian, Jining Hu Shanxiang Hu clan was established as a concubine.
According to the official history, Empress Hu was very knowledgeable and virtuous. But not to love is not to love, and you are not good or bad, there is no half-cent relationship, plus Hu Shi took four years to give birth to a second daughter to Xuanzong, no heirs and no one to lean on.
On May 12, 1425, Emperor Renzong died, and on June 12, Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne as Emperor Xuanzong. Hu was made empress.
In 1427, Sun Guifei finally gave birth to the grand prince Zhu Qizhen, and then Emperor Xuanzong finally had a reason to depose, he originally looked down on the cowardly and kind Empress Hu, but because Empress Hu was not at fault, and it was not easy to abolish it casually, this matter had to be shelved until the following year, after Zhu Qizhen was made crown prince, Empress Hu was forced to abdicate, ceding to Sun Shi as empress, for Empress Xiaogongzhang.
As I wrote earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhang Meiren was spared the fate of martyrdom because of her daughter Princess Baoqing, and from Sun Zhu Zhanji, Empress Sun also escaped the fate of martyrdom because of her son Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Yuanzhang is a man who will die, and his words are also good. Zhu Zhanji, on the other hand, let go of his beloved woman out of true love.
However, judging from the development of later generations, Zhu Zhanji made the right decision at that time, and after Zhu Qizhen ascended to the throne, he launched the Battle of Luchuan without knowing the sky and the earth, resulting in a loss of national strength.
In 1449, on a whim, he attacked the rising Mongol Wala, and became a prisoner.
All this depended on Empress Sun's planning in the dprk and jumping up and down to rescue this son who was causing trouble everywhere.
In order to stabilize the political situation and rescue The town of Zhu Qi, Emperor Sun joined forces with Shangshu Yuqian, the king of Qi, to ascend the throne as emperor, and Zhu Qiyu was the overseer of the country, and in one fell swoop, he cooperated with Yu Qian and others to win the defense of Beijing.
After Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen was welcomed back to the imperial court, he was placed under house arrest in the Southern Palace. Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu was a short-lived ghost, and when he was seriously ill, he summoned Shi Heng to the sick bed to be orphaned, Shi Heng was full of promises at that time, but then he made a small calculation, he found the right governor Zhang Jing and the eunuch Cao Jixiang, and discussed whether it would be better to launch a coup d'état to support the "Emperor Taishang" Zhu Qizhen to reset the throne, and after success they would be heroes and enjoy the glory and wealth.
Cao Jixiang felt that this was feasible, so he went to Find Empress Sun. For the restoration of their son, Empress Sun naturally supported, and at the moment they looked for Si Tianjian to watch the sky at night, it is said that the purple micro star has changed, and the emperor star has seen the displacement, and this matter must be done as soon as possible.
On the night of the sixteenth day of the first month of 1457, Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Yang Shan, Wang Ji and others gathered with Cao Jixiang Zhang Jing's army, and a group of people entered Beijing under the pretext of harassing the border with Wallachia, Shi Heng took the key to the imperial city to open the road, and the brigade of men and horses entered the imperial city directly from Chang'an Gate.
It was night, while the ministers were asleep, Zhu Qizhen and the others came out of the Nangong Palace and drove straight into the palace, and the guards did not dare to ask when they saw the Taishang Emperor coming to the court, so the group helped Zhu Qizhen to the throne of the Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Qizhen really responded to Empress Sun's words: "Our son still has salvation..." Once again sat on the emperor's throne, but unfortunately, in this coup, Yu Qian, a hero who was both literate and martial, and who was just and righteous, was slandered and killed.
Empress Sun stabilized the overall situation and remained neutral in the abolition of her son, and it was she who agreed with Yu Qian's proposition that baojingshi prohibited the nobles from moving south, and she deeply understood the righteousness of electing Concubine Wu's son Zhu Qiyu to the throne as emperor at the critical moment, which stabilized daming and welcomed back her son Zhu Qizhen.
She maintained stability and forbearance, and when Zhu Qiyu deposed Zhu Jianshen and made her son the crown prince, she lived in simplicity and protected her children and grandchildren in a low-key and introverted manner. Zhu Qiyu finally lost his life, and his son and wife died early.
Empress Sun finally guarded the clouds to see the sunrise. "Ming Shi Liechuan First Concubine": Shi Heng and others plotted to seize the door, and the empress dowager bai was first secretly. Xu Zhi. Emperor Yingzong resigned, and the title of Empress Dowager Cishou was given the title of Empress Dowager Cishou. Ming Xing, the palace emblem also began from this. Tianshun died in September of the sixth year of Tianshun, and shangzun yue xiao gong yi xian ci ren zhuang lie qi tian with empress shengzhang, buried together in Jingling, and the temple of Qitai. #Ming Dynasty is indeed very material#
