The most popular couple in the hit drama "Daming Fenghua" is not the male and female protagonist Xuan Fat two, but the parents of the male protagonist - Prince Zhu Gaozi and Crown Princess Zhang Yan.
In the play, Zhang Yan is loved by her in-laws, loved by her husband, and loved by her grandson,especially when they interact with each other, she is very warm and loving, and she is simply the happiest woman in the play. With the promotion of the plot, Zhang Yan has become a doting grandson and pet brother of the brother of the devil, so that the majority of netizens are indignant and say do not black me Daming girl Yao Shun.
So, in history, what exactly is the image of Empress Zhang of Akihito? Is she really a model role model for a good wife and mother? Is it true that the husband of the prince is incomparably affectionate like a folk couple?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01, a commoner-born princess</h1>
Akihito Emperor Shōshō Empress Zhang (1378?) -1442), that is, the prototype of the crown princess Zhang Yan in "Daming Fenghua", Zhang Yan is not the name of Empress Chengxiao, it is a fiction of the TV series, and the name of Empress Zhang is not left in the history books, so let's replace it with Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was born a commoner, her father Zhang Qi had no official position, and the biography of Zhang Qi in the History of Ming records that in the twentieth year of Hongwu (1387), Zhang Qi's daughter Zhang Yan was chosen as the wife of Zhu Gaozi, the tenth-year-old eldest son of Zhu Di, the King of Yan, and for this reason, Zhang Qi was given the title of deputy commander of the terracotta army.
Although the Ming Dynasty selected concubines from among the commoners, the families of these candidates were basically well-off, and they could provide a good growth environment for the girls in the family, Zhang Yan was naturally no exception, she was shrewd and capable and respectful, her emotional intelligence was still very high, and she was a qualified housewife.
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu (1395), the eighteen-year-old Zhu Gaozi was named the Shizi of the Yan King, and Zhang Yan, who was probably the same age as him, also became the princess of the Yan King. Four years after their marriage, on the ninth day of February in the first year of Jianwen (1399), Zhang Yan gave birth to Zhu Gaozi's eldest son, Zhu Zhanji.
On the night of Zhu Zhanji's birth, his grandfather Zhu Di, the King of Yan, dreamed that his father, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, had given him a great gui that symbolized power, and said to him: "The grandson of the world, the eternal qichang."
This dream is an indescribable auspicious omen for the ambitious Zhu Di, and just when Zhu Di recalled this beautiful dream, he got the news of the birth of his grandson Zhu Zhanji, and he thought that the dream was related to his grandson, so he was full of love for his grandson, and he also looked at Zhang Yan, the daughter-in-law who gave birth to a good saintly grandson for him.
Subsequently, Zhu Di launched Jingnan and marched south to seize the throne of his nephew Emperor Jianwen, and Jianwen ascended the throne in June of the fourth year (1402), at this time, Zhu Zhanji was not yet four years old, but he would not go to hook up with Jingnan's orphans!
The King of Yan became the emperor, the Prince of Yan became the prince, and the princess Zhang Yan naturally became the crown princess, the third crown princess after the Chang and Lü clans, and also the first commoner princess of Daming, and the door of the Lü family was also higher than that of the Zhang Yan family.
Zhang Yan, who was contentious in the belly, gave birth to two sons and a daughter in succession, a total of three sons and a daughter, and the eldest son was still a good saint who was loved by the emperor, although Zhu Gaozi also had concubines Who gave birth to three sons and a daughter, Concubine Li Xianfei, who gave birth to a son, Zhang Shunfei, who gave birth to a son, and Zhao Huifei, who gave birth to a daughter, but still no one could shake the status of Zhang Yan's crown princess.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02, filial and respectful princess</h1>
As we all know, Zhu Di preferred the second son, Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, among his three sons, because the second son was proficient in riding and shooting, more martial and courageous, and was the most similar to Zhu Di among several sons, and he also saved Zhu Di from danger many times in the Battle of Jingnan, and Zhu Di also made a wish to the second elder like Li Yuan: "Work hard!" ”
Zhu Di had many dissatisfactions with Zhu Gaozi, who was the eldest son of a concubine, who did not like martial arts, disliked his son's weakness and was not domineering enough, and the emperor's natural suspicion of the prince, coupled with the deliberate seizure of Zhu Gaozi's two younger brothers repeatedly framed him in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Di has always been very dissatisfied with the prince, and has the idea of changing the prince, but was dissuaded by Empress Xu and her courtiers.
The prince knew that his father did not want to see him, and the crown princess Zhang Yan was also very clear in her heart, if the prince was deposed, as a princess, she would not be able to fall well, and the husband and wife would be one! Therefore, the clever Zhang Yan took the route of her in-laws, treated people and things carefully and respectfully, and served her in-laws tirelessly, and her filial piety won the favor of Zhu Di and Empress Xu.
Although Zhang Yan came out of a small household, she was filial and virtuous, and she also gave birth to three concubines to the old Zhu family, especially the eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji, which was zhu Di's heart meat, and Zhu Gaoxu had to retreat when he met Zhu Zhanji, so in the hearts of Zhu Di and his wife, he was still very satisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law of Xianliang Shude.
The most important thing is Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson who was brought up by Zhu Di with him, likes to ride and shoot like his grandfather, attaches great importance to martial arts, has a pioneering spirit, and has a heart and eyes, good strategy, the second oldest Zhu Gaoxu and the eldest nephew of Wen wu shuangquan, it seems that the mind is simple and developed, if you change the prince, the favorite grandson can not succeed to the throne, Zhu Di is reluctant and entangled for a long time, Zhu Di finally dismissed the idea of changing the prince.
Therefore, Zhu Gaozi was able to get the crown prince, indeed because of Zhang Yan's mother and son, if there was no Zhang Yan bi respectful and careful service to the two palaces, without Zhu Zhanji's literary and martial skills, intelligent and capable, it is difficult to say whether Zhu Di would replace Zhu Gaozi, this point, Zhu Gaozi really has to thank his wife.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >03, from empress to empress</h1> dowager
On July 18, 1424, the twenty-second year of Yongle (1424), Zhu Di died, and on August 15, the crown prince Zhu Gaozi ascended the throne for Emperor Akihito, and finally raised his eyebrows. On the eighth day of the first month of October, Zhu Gaozi made his wife Zhang Yan empress, and on October 11, Zhu Zhanji, the eldest son of Zhu Zhanji, was made crown prince, and at the same time, six sons were made kings.
Zhu Gaozi, who was already forty-seven years old, reigned for a short time, and died on May 12 of the following year, hongxi (1425), and on June 12, the crown prince Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne, and Zhang Yan, who had only been empress for seven months, was promoted to empress dowager.
Zhang Yan, who has been in the center of the political vortex for a long time, has a good political accomplishment through observation and study, so Emperor Xuande often discusses state affairs with the old woman, and Zhang Yan often reminds her son to be a Ming Junxian jun and experience and understand the life of the people.
When Zhang Yan thought that she would grow old under the support of her son, misfortune came again, and she had to face the desolate situation of losing her son in old age, and on the third day of the first month of the tenth year of Xuande (1435), the thirty-seven-year-old Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji died, leaving a will, which was succeeded by the old wife Zhang Yan and his wife Sun Ruowei with the assistance of her nine-year-old son Zhu Qizhen.
In addition to the pain of losing her son, Zhang Yan, who was sad about the early death of her son, also had to raise her spirit to appease the ministers of unity, and seven days after her son's death, she helped her grandson to the throne, for Ming Yingzong, and the empress dowager Zhang Yan became the empress dowager, becoming the first empress of the Ming Dynasty to officially participate in politics and governance.
The political situation in the early years of orthodoxy was operated under the assistance of Zhang Yan and Sanyang, as well as the five ministers Of Zhang Fu and Hu Qi, and had no dime relationship with Zhu Qizhen's old wife, Empress Sun Ruowei, although Xuande left a testament indicating that Sun Shi had the right to oversee the government, but under the aura of his mother-in-law, Sun Shi had no record of participating in politics, and even Zhu Qizhen's election of empress was led by Zhang Yan.
In the first month of the sixth year of orthodoxy (1441), Zhu Qizhen was fifteen years old, and Zhang Yan, who was eager to hold his great-grandson's heart, ordered the selection of a wife for his grandson, and the ceremonial department issued a list of beijing, zhili, Nanjing, Fengyang, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, and selected those between thirteen and fifteen years old who were "clean-looking, pure in temperament, respectful in speech, and salty and courteous" to enter Beijing, so that the empress dowager and the empress dowager would look at each other.
After more than a year of selection in most of China, Zhang Yan finally made a decision to choose the daughter of Qian Gui, the governor of the Chinese army, as empress, and on May 19, 1442, the town of Zhuqi held a big wedding, which was also the first time that the imperial wedding ceremony was held in the Forbidden City.
After the emperor's big marriage, he was pro-government, perhaps seeing his grandson married and pro-government, Zhang Yan, who was more than a year old, put his mind at ease, just on the second day of October of that year, he had a serious illness, and his illness became more and more serious, and he died on October 18, and when he was dying, he was still thinking about major state events.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >04, "happiest queen" and the martyred Guo Guifei</h1>
Because the Ming Dynasty was passed down among Zhang Yan's descendants, of course, because she did not have a strong desire for power, she did not have any bad government when she was in power, so Zhang Yan's reputation was very good, and she was known as the "Female Yao Shun" of the Ming Dynasty, and was also rated by some people as the happiest empress of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
What is the happiest empress of the Ming and Qing dynasties? It is said that Zhang Yan's children and daughters are complete, and her husband is loving, respected by her children and grandchildren, and praised by future generations, so she is the happiest.
Is she really in love with her husband as the prince and his wife in "The Great Ming Style"? Not really! In the eyes of Zhu Gaozi, Zhang Yan is more like a fertility machine than his wife, not to mention, there is also a Guo Guifei between them!
Who is Guo Guifei? She was the granddaughter of Guo Ying, the founding hero of Wuding, the marquis of Guo Ding, the marquis of Guo Ying, the marquis of Wuding, the older brother Guo Xing Gongchang Marquis, and the older sister was Princess Guo Ningfei of Taizu, who gave birth to the prince Zhu Tan of Lu.
Guo Ying had twelve sons and nine daughters, the third daughter was Princess Taizu's liao prince Zhu Zhizhengfei, the fifth daughter was Zhu Dongzheng the Prince of Yin, his eldest son Guo Zhen married Princess Yongjiachang, the daughter of Taizu, and the second son Guo Ming, the father of Guo Guifei, married the daughter of Xu Cheng, the cousin of the founding hero Xu Da, that is, Guo Guifei's mother Xu Shi was Xu Da's cousin and the cousin of Empress Chengzu Zhu Diren Xiaoxu.
Looking at this world, it is not prominent enough to throw Zhang Yan, who is a commoner in the main room, out of eighteen streets. Around the fifth or sixth years of Yongle (1407-1408), Zhu Di, in order to win over the old courtiers, gave Guo Ying's granddaughter to the crown prince Zhu Gaozi as a second concubine, and because of Guo Guifei's intervention, Zhu Gaozi and Zhang Yan became more and more respectful to each other.
Xun Gui's daughter Guo Guifei not only has a good temperament and high literacy, but also has a good cultural accomplishment, and when she met Zhu Gaozi, who also liked the history of the classics, Guo Guifei immediately got the favor of Zhu Gaozi, starting from the seventh year of Yongle (1409) to the fifteenth year of Yongle (1417), she gave birth to three sons in a row, and it is suspected that she also had a daughter.
Guo Guifei's family originally lived with her uncle Guo Zhen, and in the eighth year of Yongle (1410), His Royal Highness the Prince of Donggong gave his younger father-in-law Guo Ming a new mansion and let Guo Guifei's family move in.
Guo Ming's birth mother, Yan Shi, was Guo Ying's concubine, Guo Guifei respected Filial Piety's grandmother, Zhu Gaozi loved Wu and Wu, and also respected Guo Guifei's concubine grandmother, and after he ascended the throne, he also made Yan Shi a lady of the country.
After Guo Ying's death, since he had no concubines, both sons were shuzi, and his Marquis of Wuding was not approved for succession for a long time, and Zhu Gaozi, who had only succeeded to the throne on August 15, 1424, posthumously enfeoffed his father-in-law Peng Chengbo Zhang Qi as the Marquis of Pengcheng, while directly ordering Guo Guifei's brother-in-law Zuo Jundu to serve as the Marquis of Pengcheng.
It is reasonable that the empress's mother's family should be posthumously honored and the empress's brother inheriting the father's title, but Guo Ying's crossing over the Wuding Marquis of the Great Uncle's lineage to inherit his grandfather is a bit unreasonable, which is really unreasonable, if it is not Zhu Gaozi's eccentricity toward Guo Guifei, how can Guo Ying cross the princess's aunt's son Guo Zhen to attack the lord?
What is even more speechless is that the empress's brother is a count, and the brother of the noble concubine is a marquis, so she asked Zhang Yan whether she was holding back? If zhu Gaozi did not favor Guo Guifei between Zhang and Guo, how can it be said?
Guo Ying was only a few days after the attack on the knighthood, before Zhu Di's grand eunuch Huang Yu was executed, his considerable family property was rewarded to Guo Ying by Zhu Gaozi on the fourth day of November, and by November 13, Guo Ying's eldest son Guo Cong, a child less than ten years old, was given a scattering ride and food for a thousand households.
Zhu Gaozi had given so many benefits to Guo Guifei's family in less than a year of reign, what would happen if he had reigned for more than ten years? Zhang Yan was afraid that she would sit like a needle felt and couldn't sleep at night, but fortunately, Zhu Gao died early!
After Zhu Gaozi's death, a total of five concubines were martyred, including Guo Guifei, who was favored by Zhu Gaozi, four of the five martyrs had no children, only Guo Guifei gave birth to three sons, and those who had children according to the custom should not be martyred.
Because Zhang Jingfei, who did not have children to be martyred, was approved to be exempted from martyrdom on the grounds of being born into a meritorious family, Guo Guifei, who was also from a meritorious family, was martyred, and no one knows whether there is Zhang Yan's handwriting.
It is true that Guo Guifei's suffering is sympathetic, she does not argue or rob or indulge, but her existence is a kind of impact on the right wife, compared with her gentle noblewoman, Zhang Yan's cultural attainment of the small door is indeed not high, of course, it is not attractive to the husband, even if the yellow-faced woman has made great contributions to consolidating her husband's position, in the eyes of her husband, that is also what the yellow-faced woman should do, Zhang and Guo are both poor people.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >05, respect each other as guests≠ husband and wife love</h1>
Through the historical records, it can be clearly seen that the historical Zhang Yan and her husband Zhu Gaozi are not affectionate at all, and the loving interaction on the TV series does not exist at all, and the two of them are just a loveless couple who respect each other.
As a princess, Zhang Yan accompanied her husband cautiously, worried and ridiculed, worked hard to please her father-in-law, and tried to have a good relationship with her uncles, afraid that her husband would lose the prince's position, even if she paid so much, in the heart of her husband Zhu Gaozi, the weight was far less than Guo Guifei, not even as good as a "fetus".
In the last year of Yongle, Zhang Yan had a strange illness, stopped menstruating for ten months, all the doctors thought that the princess was pregnant, Zhang Yan herself felt that it was not pregnant, because her bloating was getting worse and worse, but Zhu Gaozi did not think that she was pregnant, so she let the pregnancy condition.
Or Zhu Di did not trust his daughter-in-law, let the famous doctor Sheng Yin (Sheng Qidong) go to see the princess, Sheng Yin said after consultation, this is a strange disease, long-term illness, what symptoms will there be in the morning, what symptoms will be at night, said very much in line with Zhang Yan's illness, Zhang Yan said: "The imperial court has such an imperial doctor, why not let him come to me early to diagnose and treat it?" ”
Sheng Yin prescribed the medicine, which was the agent for breaking the blood, and Zhu Gaozi was furious when he saw the prescription: "You are still a famous doctor!" The crown princess is about to give birth to an imperial grandson, and you actually prescribed such a prescription, what do you want to do? He did not allow Zhang Yan to use the medicine prescribed by Sheng Yin to treat the disease, not that he thought that the child was about to give birth.
Until Zhang Yan was critically ill and summoned Sheng Yin again, Sheng Yin still said that he would use the prescription he had prescribed before, and said that if it was delayed for another three days, the prescription could not be used. Zhang Yan was approved to use the prescription that made the blood, and sure enough, a lot of blood was shed, and her condition improved, and Sheng Yin, who was locked up by the prince, was released, and Zhu Di also specially reminded him: "Old Sheng! Later you see the East Palace hiding a little. ”
Sheng Yin, because the crown prince was not waiting to see him, was worried, and went to ask his friend Yuan Zhongche what to do, Yuan Zhongche secretly told him that the prince could not last long, and sure enough, less than a year after Zhu Di's death, Zhu Gaozi died, and after Zhang Yan's son Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne, he specially issued an edict to let the old woman's life-saving benefactor come to Beijing, and he was very trusting of him.
This matter cannot say how much Zhu Gaozi is wrong, but it is obvious that in his heart, the status of the wife is not as good as the piece of meat in the stomach, and he would rather his wife be in danger than allow the emperor and grandson to lose, for the children, Zhu Gaozi is a loving father, and for the wife, this husband is a bit chilling! I'm terrified when I think about it!
Zhang Yan is an excellent feudal woman, with the characteristics of a good wife and mother, as well as good political literacy, that is, the aura is a little incompatible with her husband, after all, she is a Cinderella who married into the royal family, and the education she received from childhood and the way of doing things are different, which is the reason why their husband and wife respect each other as guests, fortunately, she survived her husband.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >06, Monkey said</h1>
As mentioned earlier, some people commented that Zhang Yan was the happiest of the Ming and Qing empresses, and Monkey Ge said that Zhang Yan was not happy at all, what an unlucky girl! When the princess was worried, like walking on thin ice, but also by her husband and true love, it was difficult to become an empress, and met a middle-aged widow, who wanted to enjoy her life in peace, and then shared the old age and lost her son. Several misfortunes in life have made her encounter, dead husbands and dead sons, white-haired people sending black-haired people, is this happiness?
Of course, there were more than the upper and lower, and Zhang Yan and other empresses of the Ming and Qing dynasties had much better results than other empresses of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Empress Taizuma, Empress Xu of Emperor Taizong, Empress Muzong Li, Empress Guangzong Guo, Empress Dowager Taizong, Empress Hesheri of Shengzu, Empress Uranala of Sejong, Empress Fucha of Gaozong, Empress Renzong Xitara, Empress Xuanzong Niu Cobalt Lu, Empress Wenzong Sakda died early; Empress Hu Shanxiang of Xuanzong, Empress Wu of Emperor Xianzong, Empress Dowager Chen, and Empress Jing of Sejong were deposed; Empress Yingzong Qian, Empress Wuzong Xia, Empress Shenzong Wang, Empress Xizong Zhang, Empress Muzong Arut, Empress Dezong Yehenara was childless; Empress Xiaozong Zhang had no children and was bullied by her nephew; Empress Sizong Zhou suffered the death of the country, compared with these unfortunate original empresses, zhang Yan's happiness is also established!
Zhang Yan, who was praised as "Female Yao Shun", had no desire for power, but was forced by the situation to drive the ducks to the shelves, and worked with five auxiliary ministers to make the Daming Group operate normally and healthily, in fact, her political achievements were nothing more than the continuation of xuande's old government, or some policies in the Xuande period were corrected and made up for shortcomings.
For example, we should actively straighten out the administration of officials, revitalize honesty and punish corruption, dismiss corrupt officials who have been found out, and stop the corruption of officials; promote and reuse officials who are honest and honest in performing official duties, so that officials who can perform honest and honest duties will show a state of blowout, such as Zhou Chen and Guan Zhong. It is also concerned about the people's livelihood, the development of agricultural production, and the development of agricultural power, these measures can also be described as clichés, nothing more than rewarding agricultural reclamation, building water conservancy, inviting exile, and so on. In addition, the extravagant use of the royal family and government expenditure were also curtailed, and the eunuch forces that had slightly risen from Yongle Xuande were suppressed, which were the moral governments of Zhang Yan and her auxiliary group.
Although Zhang Yan was known as "Female Middle Yao Shun" and had many virtues in the early days of orthodoxy, you must know what cards she holds? It's not a bad card, but a good card of big cat plus four twos - ren xuan zhi zhi. On this basis, Zhang Yan, who has limited political ability, can only keep it, has no ability and no ambition to create, of course, does not dare, orphans and widows plus a few big housekeepers, whoever puts aside the family is shrinking and keeping, which is also understandable, but the side of the drawbacks is also inevitable.
For example, the prestige of the central government is not high, the laws and discipline of aristocratic officials are serious, land annexation is fierce, and so on. The emperor was a nine-year-old child, ruling an old lady, the big housekeepers wanted to say two more words, and they were afraid of the suspicion of Iho, afraid of trespassing, it could only be more than one thing, not as good as less, and when they encountered problems, they did not dare to deal with it hastily, and they were careful not to give people a handle.
With such a fearful ruling head, how can the officials at the bottom do things seriously, most of them are clocked in at work, and when they are finished, they will return home, and it is certain that political affairs will be abolished. Nobles, especially the sons of the military attaché family, exploited and enslaved soldiers and engaged in various illegal activities, which abounded in the Records of Emperor Yingzong.
Of course, this cannot be said to be Zhang Yan's pot, it is caused by the limitations of this government leadership team, and it is certainly wrong to put the dark side of the early orthodoxy on Zhang Yan's head, and it is still necessary to look at historical figures objectively. Zhang Yan has a tough personality, shrewdness and ability, and is not the fudi demon in "Daming Fenghua" who only complains, has no insight, does not care about the overall situation, and dotes on her grandson, she has an indelible contribution to stabilizing the national situation in the early Xuande and early orthodoxy.
That's it.
