In the long history of China, the imperial system was the only political structure, and many glorious chapters were cast, and the emperors led the country to prosperity with their wisdom and courage. However, in such an environment full of temptation and competition, an empress won the emperor's affectionate love by virtue of her unique personality advantages, and she was the wife of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen - Empress Qian. Although she is blind, has some leg inconveniences, and is unable to have children, the deep relationship between her and Yingzong is very emotional.
According to records, the marriage between Yingzong and Empress Qian was originally handled by the Empress Dowager Zhang. In 1442, Yingzong married Qian Shi, who was only 15 years old. Although their father was only a low-ranking military attaché, because his daughter became empress, Qian Gui was able to be promoted to the position of governor of Zhongfu. Although this marriage is young and immature, it is full of warmth. Unfortunately, although the two got married very early, Queen Qian never got pregnant. Despite this, Yingzong still did not demean her status as an empress, but was affectionate.
Empress Qian won the affection of Yingzong with her gentle and virtuous personality and thoughtful behavior, and the two quickly fell into the sweetness of love, like any pair of young lovers. However, in 1449, the situation suddenly deteriorated, the Mongols invaded, and at the instigation of Wang Zhen, Yingzong decided to go on the expedition himself, only to become a prisoner of the Mongols by mistake. However, Empress Qian did not give up, she poured all her belongings, sold her private jewelry, and entrusted the minister to negotiate, only hoping to take back Yingzong.
Seeing that the Qian clan was so determined, the Mongols not only did not release the imprisoned Yingzong, but instead sent troops to attack the city of Beijing. During this period, Empress Qian prayed day and night for the safe return of Yingzong. Over time, Empress Qian's eyes were blinded by excessive grief, and her knees were injured and sick from her constant prayers for the gods. However, even in this difficult moment, Yingzong never lost his love for Empress Qian, and their feelings were even deeper. Until 1464 AD, when Yingzong died, he still did not forget his last words, hoping to be buried with Empress Qian in the future, and respected her as the queen mother, so that she could be forever respected.
