In 1407, Empress Xu died, and soon After Zhu Di asked the female official to declare to his sister-in-law Xu Miaojin: "In ancient times, Empress Dowager Ying married Da Shun, and now the empress is very lonely, do you have any intention of entering the palace?" Xu Miaojin was bedridden and said that he was resolutely unwilling to comply, but Zhu Di was not reconciled and sent a female official to visit Xu Miaojin's condition again.
Xu Miaojin sat up helplessly and said to the female official with a pretty face: "Please tell your majesty that I had acne (smallpox) a few days ago, and my face was broken and I could not serve Your Majesty." The female officer was shocked after listening, but when she looked closely at Xu Miaojin, she had a handsome face and no trace on her face. Xu Miaojin saw her hesitation, reached out and poked at her face: "Here, everywhere, don't you see it?" ”
The female official did not dare to continue to resist, so she had to withdraw back to the palace. As soon as the female official left, Xu Miaojin jumped down from the bed and found a nun to shave herself and practice from then on. After Zhu Di heard the reply of the female official, he inquired again that Xu Miaojin had already become a monk, and Zhu Di was not easy to force, so he put away his thoughts and did not establish an empress.
Entering the palace as a concubine is the wish of many women, but for Xu Miaojin, this is not what she pursues.
Xu Miaoyun and Xu Miaojin are both the daughters of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Miaoyun is the eldest daughter, Xu Miaojin is the third oldest, and the two sisters are 18 years apart, but their appearance is very similar.
Although Xu Miaoyun is the eldest daughter, but under the influence of her father, she has been familiar with various books since she was a child, especially good at platooning, and is known as a female student.
Although she is a female doll, she has long been favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and when she was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da: "It is a woman who must be precious, and she thinks that she is my son's wife, and it is advisable to treat it well!" ”
After marrying Zhu Di, the couple's feelings became deeper and deeper, but Xu Miaoyun did not expect that one day Zhu Di would become emperor.
If it were not for the sudden death of crown prince Zhu Biao and his son Zhu Yunjiao's succession, Zhu Di might not have rebelled. If Zhu Di did not rebel, it would not be Xu Miaoyun's turn to become the empress of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Yunjiao attacked the king of the domain, Xu Miaoyun, who was full of poetry, came in handy. Ordinary women like scriptures and poems, and Xu Miaoyun even likes the art of war, which is really rare.
The best thing is that Xu Miaoyun's theory of martial arts happened to help Zhu Di defend the domain, which was one of the reasons why Zhu Di was grateful and remembered.
In 1402, Zhu Di became the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Miaoyun naturally became empress.
However, Xu Miaoyun was also a red face and a short life, and the empress had just sat for four years, but unfortunately died of illness.
Before his death, Xu Miaoyun still did not forget to advise Zhu Di to love the people, seek talents, and enmity. Most importantly, Xu Miaoyun specifically reminded Zhu Di that he must not overly favor his mother's family.
But Xu Miaoyun never expected that after his death, Zhu Di had a crush on his sister Xu Miaojin.
As the king of a country, the harem can not be a day without a queen, Zhu Di can not not establish an empress, if the new empress will give birth to a son in the future, in case the position of prince changes, how can not accompany her for more than thirty years Empress Xu?
Until one day, Empress Xu's sister Xu Miaojin entered the palace, Zhu Di's eyes lit up, Xu Miaojin and Empress Xu looked like a god, and, knowing the book, gentleness and beauty at the same time, Zhu Di was secretly happy in his heart: This is the empress in my mind.
Therefore, he immediately made a bold move and wrote a love letter to Xu Miaojin, hoping that she would enter the palace and be able to be like a sister to the world.
After a while, Xu Miaojinlian moved slightly, and Yingying came to see the driver, and Li Bi stood aside. Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaojin carefully, although it was a light makeup dress, it was beautiful and illuminating, and the light polar flowers were more colorful.
Zhu Di's always hard and cold heart was immediately in front of this shining light and the beautiful flower-like beauty, so soft that it could not be softer, and of course the tone was so kind that he could no longer ask kindly: "I want to make Qingqing empress, but I don't know why Qing Qing resolutely refused so resolutely?" I want Empress Xu to be alive, and I love each other, Qing is Empress Xu's sister, and empress Dowager Ying married Da Shun in the past, and now the empress is very lonely, do you have any intention of entering the palace? ”
Xu Miaojin bowed his head and said, "Concubines do not intend to disobey Your Majesty, but since Si Chen's concubines are the same as Pu Liu, they are not worthy of the mother's world, so they dare not be elected, and Beg Your Majesty Hong En to forgive the concubines." ”
Zhu Di was just about to say something more, and Xu Miaojin immediately said: "Concubines are blessed, and since Your Majesty knows about them, then I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will give you a generous gift so that your concubines can pray to the Buddha for life, and the concubines will be grateful." ”
It meant she was going out of the house and didn't want to marry him.
Why did Xu Miaojin refuse to be Zhu Di's empress? This is inseparable from the intricate relationship between the Xu family and the Zhu family.
Xu Miaojin was the third daughter of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Da had four sons and three daughters, of whom the eldest daughter and second daughter were married to Zhu Yuanzhang's sons.
The rupture of their relationship began with the "Battle of Jing" initiated by Zhu Di.
In 1398, when the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao ascended the throne, he began to cut down the domain and abolished 5 princes successively. Zhu Di understood that the next one was him, and he listened to Empress Xu's advice and raised an army in the name of Qing Junfang.
Empress Xu, as Zhu Di's wife, naturally supported her husband Zhu Di. However, the Xu family was divided into two factions, one supporting the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao and the other supporting Zhu Di.
Xu Miaojin's eldest brother and third brother, one supported Zhu Yunjiao and the other supported Zhu Di. His third brother died because of Zhu Di, which allowed Xu Miaojin to see Zhu Di's cruel and fierce side.
Xu Miaojin's second sister Xu Miaoqing married Zhu Gui as the princess, and the married life of the two people was not happy at all.
Xu Miaoqing hoped that her husband would be single-minded about himself, but Zhu Guichao was in the twilight of the four, picking flowers and weeds all day long, and privately pampering the maid Ronghua Chrysanthemum. Later, Xu Miaoqing was expelled from the palace and deposed her as princess.
Xu Miaojin has experienced this, and also understands that between herself and Zhu Di, there is no deep affection between the eldest sister and Zhu Di, rather than living under the shadow of the eldest sister, it is better not to marry and live happily for a lifetime.
This matter is changed to all women, they will definitely be unable to ask for it, like Xu Miaojin, who would rather become a nun than marry the emperor, is really the only one in the past.
His indifferent heart of fame and fortune and independent personality make people admire...
