The so-called "people are not many, don't care whether they are dead or alive." Ming Chengzu Zhu Di encountered this kind of problem, people have been dead for hundreds of years, and as a result, the people of later generations have broken their hearts for the question of who his birth mother is. Zhu Di unexpectedly appeared with four birth mothers at once.
In fact, Zhu Di can enjoy this kind of treatment, which is also a great "pride", he is not alone at all, because the famous Qin Shi Huang is also scratching his head for this kind of problem. In the "Records of History", I first told my descendants very seriously: Don't make false rumors, Qin Shi Huang is the son of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, as evidenced by the black and white characters of my "Records of History".
After turning a few pages, in the relevant records of Zhao Ji, the birth mother of Qin Shi Huang, a mysterious news broke out: when Lü Buwei dedicated her to King Zhaoxiang of Qin as a proton, Zhao Ji was pregnant - the subtext is that Qin Shi Huang was Lü Buwei's son.
Therefore, I and others in the hereafter are either confused or begin to fight like they have obtained the most precious treasure. Anyway, the feeling to the author is: Tai Shi Gong, this old man, does not talk about martial arts, here and outside, are your own rationale? There is always one that is right.
Looking at Zhu Di now, I suddenly felt that he was even more unfortunate than Qin Shi Huang, because Zhu Di not only had four birth mothers, but even his own father actually appeared two. So what's going on here? This begins with Zhu Di's so-called first and second birth mothers: the Mongol concubines and the yuanshun emperor concubines.
First and second places: The Mongol concubine Weng and the Yuan Shun Emperor's concubine Hongji La
According to the "Guangyang Miscellaneous Records": Ming Chengzu was not a horse queen. Its mother, the Mongols of the Urn clan. As the concubine of the Yuan Shun Emperor, he hid his affairs.
The "Mongolian Origins" declares that the Han Chinese Zhu Genuoyan (Zhu Yuanzhang), at the age of twenty-five (doubtful), attacked the capital, that is, the Khan's throne, and was called the Ming Zhu Hongwu Khan. The third Fujin of Uhagtu Khan was the daughter of Master Hongjirat Tokto, named Geldhatun, who was pregnant in July, and Hongwu Khannazhi. In March, it was the age of Peng Shen who gave birth to a male (Zhu Di).
Perhaps influenced by these two records, it was widely spread in the folk that Zhu Di was the widow of Emperor Yuanshun. It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang seized the world, he also accepted the concubines of Emperor Yuanshun who did not flee. One of them was particularly beautiful and very favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, and this was the Concubine of the Yuan Shun Emperor, Hongji Lashi.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know at that time that this concubine was already pregnant, and later gave birth to Zhu Di. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Di seized the throne in a Battle of Jingnan, so there was a saying that "the Yuan Dynasty died but did not die".
So why is there such a claim of dog blood? Do you have to let Zhu Yuanzhang tangle with the concubines of the Yuan Dynasty, one is not enough, and two more come? This is to blame, Liu Bowen, who dominates the world.
According to the "Heavenly Machine", Liu Bowen once met a very cattle Taoist monk, and the two discussed the world's major events together, Liu Bowen asked: Now that Ziwei (Zhu Yuanzhang) has gone down to save all the people from water and fire, and the Heavenly Dao has been determined, is the Yuan Dynasty about to take the box lunch right away?
The Taoist priest said, "Yuan is the reincarnation of the Light Buddha." This means that don't underestimate the Yuan Dynasty, people are reincarnated by the Bright Buddha, they can't be forced too hard, they should leave him a way to live and quit the Central Plains by himself.
So was Zhu Di's birth mother one of these two Mongol concubines? The author's own view is that this is based on "commercial mutual blowing" (Zhu Yuanzhang is the purple micro star under the mortal, the Yuan Dynasty is the reincarnation of the Light Buddha), a theory.
It is undeniable that there were Mongolian concubines in Zhu Yuanzhang's harem, but the problem is that Zhu Di was born in 1360 AD, and the time of the yuan dynasty's demise was 1368 AD - that is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to start sweeping the north in 1367 AD.
Time is the devil, when Xu Da and Chang Yuchun attacked the Yuan Capital, Zhu Di was eight or nine years old, how could he be born again? Therefore, I have ruled out these two Mongol concubines, although some scholars believe that this is a possibility.
But the author would like to emphasize that whether it is possible or not is based on rational analysis, unless it can be solved, so that the problem of Zhu Di, who is eight or nine years old, is born again, which is the real "possibility".
Third place: Concubine Lee
This is a very famous of Zhu Di's four birth mothers. According to the "Taichang Temple Chronicle": Xiaoling Emperor Gao of Taizu and Empress Ma of the Gao dynasty. The left concubine, Li Shi, was born Prince Yiwen, The Prince of Qin, and the Prince of Jin. The right concubine. Generate Emperor Zuwen.
Let's not talk about Zhu Di first, if the record of the "Taichang Temple Chronicle" is true and reliable, then even Zhu Biao suddenly became not born of Empress Ma, but actually became born of Li Shufei - surprised, not surprised?
Originally, the problem of digging Zhu Di's birth mother was noted, but even Zhu Biao was lying with a gun. Therefore, the author has always had doubts about the "Taichang Temple Chronicle", although "Taichang Temple is in charge of the ceremonies of the national temple", but in terms of status, the record of royal blood is more reliable. But this surprise is so amazing, how not to ask a "why is this so"?
However, this problem is not difficult for historians. Fu Sinian once said: Cheng zu was born in the Qi clan, raised in Gao Hou, and the Qi clan was a concubine, so it was not Zhangye. That is to say: isn't it simple, what's so hard? Empress Ma was Zhu Di's adoptive mother, who had brought Zhu Di with her since childhood and raised her as an adult.
However, Wu Han, another Ming Shi Taidou-level figure, expressed doubts about this record, saying: Empress Gao was childless, and King Chengzu Zhou was a concubine. Chengzu was raised by Empress Gao, so he pretended to be a concubine. Concubine Qi's history is unknown, so she had to be suspicious.
Meaning, didn't Empress Ma have a son? Even if all this is true, then where did this concubine come from? What kind of experience has it been, and why does no one know? Therefore, instead of "believing in what it is", it is better to be suspicious for the time being - obviously Wu Han's attitude is more cautious.
It is equivalent to tossing for half a day, and historians have not yet made clear the question of Zhu Di's birth mother. But things are fun, even Ming Shi Tai Dou Wu Han, did not understand the origin of the concubine, but did not know what happened, flickered was solved by "Goryeo". It was the Goryeo kingdom at that time that paid tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then was favored by Zhu Yuanzhang and gave birth to Zhu Di!
Anyway, the author only feels that "if it is really possible", ah, and even the feeling of the outer jiaoli tenderness of the strands, not because "Goryeo" grabs everything, but the problem of the horse queen having no children, which completely subverts the author. So is all this true or false?
Fourth place: Queen Ma
Through the analysis of the three Zhu Di's birth mothers in front of him, the author has a very strong feeling, that is, everyone is competing for Zhu Di! Exhaust all means to make Zhu Di become one-half of "his own people", or even completely "his own people".
Why rob Zhu Di? Because Zhu Di's historical merits are too high! Five northern deserts, moved the capital to Beijing, revised the "Yongle Canon", Zheng He went to the West, and all the nations came to the dynasty...
Although Zhu Di's merits are really not super first-class for the chinese who are accustomed to seeing the world. After all, are you Zhu Di better than Qin Shi Huang, can you compare to Emperor Wu of Han, and can you compare to Li Shimin? But for others to say, it is appropriately a ceiling level.
In addition, Zhu Di's ascension to the throne was based on the Battle of Jingnan, which caused too much negative impact, so many people did not like Zhu Di and regarded him as a different kind! Therefore, he was eager to kick Zhu Di out of his circle - this is probably the reason why Zhu Di appeared in the record of four birth mothers.
Because the most authoritative "History of Ming" clearly records that whether it is Zhu Biao or Zhu Di, the birth mother is Empress Ma.
For Zhu Biao, even if there is a record in the "Taichang Temple Chronicle" that li Shufei was born, few people dug deep and chased zhu Biao, why did they carry Zhu Di out? This is not what the anomaly is!
Moreover, one of the legal bases on which Zhu Di dared to launch the "Battle of Jingnan" was that he was Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine, and after three years of fighting, he invaded Nanjing. At this moment, whether it was Fang Xiaoru, jingqing and other loyal ministers of Emperor Jianwen, although they all vetoed, criticized, and angrily rebuked Zhu Di's jingjing behavior, why didn't they bring out the fact that Zhu Di was not a concubine?
It should be known that in ancient times, if Zhu Di was not Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine, once it was determined, this alone would be enough to destroy Zhu Di's "Battle of Jing". But why, including Emperor Jianwen, as well as Fang Xiaoru and so many others, none of them used this as a weapon? Instead, he allowed Zhu Di to run amok for three years and entered the capital. What's the point?
Therefore, the author's opinion is very simple: Zhu Di's birth mother was Empress Ma, just as Zhu Biao was not born to Li Shufei as recorded in the "Taichang Temple Chronicle".
