Wan Guifei wanted to get rid of Zhu Youjiao, the thorn in her eye, but she was not so easy to start, in order to protect her grandson, Empress Dowager Zhou ordered Xianzong to hand over Zhu Youzhu to her and put her in Renshou Palace to raise, and soon, Zhu Youzhu was canonized as the crown prince.

One day, Concubine Wan Guifei invited Youzhu to her palace to play, and the Empress Dowager Zhou knew that she was uneasy and kind, and told her grandson not to eat anything after she went. When he arrived at the palace of the concubine, Wan Guifei persuaded Youzhu to eat cakes, and Youzhu replied that he had already eaten, and the concubine persuaded him to drink soup, and the clever child asked her: "Is the soup poisonous?"

was so angry that Concubine Wan was speechless for a long time: "Such a young child is so defensive of me and hates me, and when he is about to be weak, are you afraid that he will not hate me?"

After that, as soon as she had the opportunity, she asked Xianzong to abolish the crown prince Zhu Youjiao, falsely accusing the prince of how violent and pretentious the prince was, it was better to abolish it, and set up Zhu Youhang, the son of Concubine Shao Chen. Xianzong refused to agree at first, but he couldn't help the concubine to speak softly, followed by a coquettish cry. Although Concubine Wan was nearly sixty years old at this time, Xianzong was so close and afraid of her that he couldn't leave her at all, how could he dare not listen to her?

The eunuch Liang Fang and others colluded with Concubine Wan and wantonly embezzled the money of the inner government, fearing that they would be punished when the prince ascended the throne in the future, so they also helped Concubine Wan to attack the prince together, and Xianzong had to agree. The next day, Xianzong consulted with the eunuch Huai'en, who repeatedly said no, which made Xianzong very unhappy, and actually demoted Huai'en to Fengyang to guard the emperor's mausoleum.

Xianzong was trying to convene the ministers again to discuss the abolition of the establishment, and suddenly had to report that there was an earthquake in Mount Tai in Dongyue, and Qin Tianjian said that this omen should be in the East Palace according to the celestial phenomena, and Xianzong thought that the abolition of the prince would anger the will of heaven, and put the matter of Yi Chu on hold, which preserved the status of the prince.

Wan Guifei repeatedly urged, but Xianzong just ignored it. Unable to shake the status of the prince with all his efforts, the concubine held a grudge in her heart, caused liver disease, and beat the palace maid angrily, because of her obesity and heavy heart load, coupled with her anger, she did not catch it in one breath and died suddenly.

As soon as Concubine Wan died, Xianzong seemed to have lost his backbone, burst into tears, and said sadly: "As soon as the concubine is gone, I will soon die." ”

He presided over the funeral of Wan Guifei as the queen's ceremony, and stopped going to court for seven days. In August of this year, the depressed Xianzong really fell seriously ill and followed Wan Guifei away at the age of forty-one. Wan Zhen'er, a humble palace maid and a half-old, why can she win favor in one fell swoop, favor the harem, and be a nameless queen for more than 20 years?

In the polygamous family of the Ming emperor, the emperor had multiple concubines, but it was rare to have a real love relationship. The emperor's emotional entanglements such as love and many contradictions in the family structure also led to many dramatic changes in the history of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di have very strong feelings for the queen of the main palace, so they will never re-establish the queen after the queen's death, which is a kind of respect for their relationship between husband and wife.

Ming Xianzong had a very good relationship with his nineteen-year-old concubine Wan Zhen'er, so much so that he had a lifetime of favor, and was immediately promoted to a concubine after giving birth to a prince, and this favor was not attenuated by Wan Zhen'er's age or misdeeds. Xianzong was in power, the three pavilions were old, the clay sculpture was six books, the government was disordered, and he couldn't protect the life and death of his son, but from the perspective of lasting feelings for a woman, it can be regarded as the most affectionate and loyal.

Ming Xianzong died, and his son Zhu Youzhang succeeded to the throne, that is, Ming Xiaozong, with the year name Hongzhi. During the reign of Xiaozong, he updated the government and opened up his words, so that the bad habits since Yingzong were removed, and he was known as the lord of Zhongxing.

Xiaozong first dismissed a group of traitorous and redundant officials during the Chenghua period, arrested and punished crimes, and selected talents and talents to entrust them with important tasks. Xiaozong was diligent in political affairs, twice a day to look at the court, Ming Xiaozong was strict with the eunuchs, Jinyiwei and Dongchang also acted cautiously, and the rule of law was lenient. Filial piety to practice thrift, not much construction, tax reduction, frugality, diligent government and love the people, under his governance, Hongzhi during the political clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the history is called Hongzhi Zhongxing.

The Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years and had a total of 16 emperors, but among the 16 emperors, the best emperor was not the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but the ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhang.

In the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful and serious dynasty in which eunuchs were in power, there were very few emperors who could not appoint eunuchs and do not favor eunuchs during their reign, and Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was one. After succeeding to the throne, he first expelled the traitors in the palace and appointed Wang Shu, Liu Daxia and other honest and virtuous ministers. The government at that time took on a new look, Hongzhi was a dynasty, famous ministers came out one after another, filial piety was diligent in political affairs, and the Ming Dynasty was prosperous again.

Later, people praised the reign of Xiaozong as Hongzhi Zhongxing, you must know that the Ming Dynasty at that time had begun to decline after experiencing civil changes, and Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was very industrious, and made great efforts to send the Ming Dynasty to the peak again for a period of time.

Emperor Xiaozong's personal cultivation is very good, he was made the crown prince by his father Xianzong at the age of six, and when he was nine years old, he went out of the cabinet to give lectures. The crown prince's departure to give lectures was the beginning of formal education, and the officials who were responsible for education were generally well-educated people. At the same time, Xiaozong can be regarded as one of the few infatuated emperors among the Chinese emperors, he has only one queen in his life, no concubines and concubines, and only his own wife Empress Zhang in the harem.

Emperor Xiaozong was very benevolent, and he was the most benevolent among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He attached great importance to the work of famine relief, and demanded that the government at all levels set up standing positions to cope with the famine. In terms of punishment, he demanded that punishment be carried out with caution, and under his demand, some secret services known for their cruelty, such as Jinyiwei, became merciful. Therefore, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the politics were clear and the economy was developed, and culturally there were Li Dongyang's Chaling poetry school and Qiu Jun's science, which were known as the peaceful and prosperous era.

However, in the later part of the reign of Hyojong, his health was not good due to his difficult childhood, and he hoped to change his physical condition through the art of Buddhism. Therefore, some traitors once again mixed into the palace and caused trouble to the government again, and the eunuch Li Guang was one of them, and he won the favor of Xiaozong.

Later, Li Guang committed suicide in fear of crime, Xiaozong thought that Li Guang had a book from heaven in his family, and ordered someone to search, but found out the account book of Li Guang's corruption and bribery, and Xiaozong woke up. The Li Guang incident woke up the long-dormant Emperor Xiaozong, who had been asleep for many years, and he began the second and last period of his life of diligent government. Zhu Youzhu began to constantly reflect on what he had done in the past, re-reusing Liu Daxia, Dai Shan and other virtuous ministers, and vigorously rectifying the dynasty, but the excessive work intensity also completely dragged down his body.

However, judging from the overall rule of filial piety, politically, he eradicated traitors, reused virtuous and virtuous people, treated his ministers leniently, strictly managed eunuchs, and abolished harsh laws; economically, he lightly punished the poor, built water conservancy, and strived to be frugal; militarily, he upheld unity, cherished military generals, and pursued a policy of peace.

Although Zhu Youzhu has not done much in his life, he is very stable, does not come nonsense, is more diligent, respects ministers, and has done a lot of good governance for the people. Although such an emperor is not famous, he can really enjoy the happiness of his people, and such an emperor can really be regarded as a good emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

Beginning the dusty history, when it comes to the emperor, it is often the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts. Emperor Wu of Jin's Wan Gong'e, Tang Xuanzong's three thousand beauties, even to the last generation, Emperor Guangxu still has a queen and two concubines, and his dedication seems to have nothing to do with the emperors forever. In fact, in Chinese history, from Qin Shi Huang to Xuantong, among the more than 500 emperors, there is indeed a dedicated emperor, and there is only one queen in his life, he is Zhu Youzhang, the emperor of Ming Xiaozong, and the year name Hongzhi.

But behind the dedication of a lifetime and a couple, there are many secrets of Ming Xiaozong. Ming Xiaozong is probably the most bizarre emperor, he didn't see his father Emperor Chenghua until he was six years old, and he was probably the only little prince who grew up in the eunuch pension.

Zhu Youzhang's biological mother Ji is the daughter of Tusi surnamed Ji in Guangxi, after the rebellion surnamed Ji was quelled, the girl Ji was captured in the palace and sent to the inner court study to take care of the books. Once Xianzong passed by occasionally, and saw that Ji's beauty was smart, so he stayed overnight, and Ji's got pregnant afterwards.

After Wan Guifei, who favored the harem, found out, she ordered a palace maid to have an abortion for the Ji family. The palace maid was so compassionate that she couldn't bear to be poisoned, so she lied that Ji was bloated and not pregnant. Wan Guifei was still not at ease, and ordered the Ji family to be relegated to the cold palace.

Ji was in the shadow of Wan Guifei, secretly gave birth to Zhu Youzhu in the cold palace, and Ji wanted Zhang Min, the gatekeeper, to drown his son, but Zhang Min risked his life to help Ji hide the baby secretly and feed it with rice noodles every day. Empress Wu, who was ostracized and abolished by Concubine Wan, also helped to feed the baby. Wan Guifei searched several times, but she was not found, so Zhu Youzhu was secretly raised until she was six years old.

This child has been hidden for six years, and with the cooperation of a group of palace maids and eunuchs, Wan Guifei was completely kept in the dark. Once, when Zhang Min was combing the emperor's hair, he boldly told the truth, and Huai En confirmed it on the side, and the Chenghua Emperor was overjoyed and immediately summoned him; Ji put on a little red robe for him and told him to see the bearded man in the hall, which was his father. The little prince was six years old at the time, his hair had never been cut, and his long hair hung down to the ground, and when he came to the hall, he walked up and threw himself into the arms of Emperor Chenghua.

The little prince was very well-behaved, and when he saw Xianzong, he kowtowed and called his father. Emperor Chenghua was very happy, hugged him and said, "This child is like me." So he recognized the child.

Xianzong immediately sent a message to the cabinet, informing the prince of the birth of the prince and giving amnesty to the world, Wan Guifei cried to death after hearing the training, gritted her teeth with hatred, swore revenge and soon killed Ji. Emperor Xiaozong's background was very pitiful, his relatives around him sacrificed for him one by one, Zhang Min and his mother, two people who had taken care of him since childhood, died before he became the crown prince.

Although Xiaozong was only six years old when he lost his mother, he mourned like an adult. He has a painful pain in the struggle between concubines, which may be one of the reasons why he can be dedicated to the throne after he ascends the throne.

Ming Xiaozong's father and Wan Guifei's sister and brother love shadow, Xiaozong's father Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, Chenghua Emperor's harem beauties are more than 3,000, but he has favored Wan Guifei, who is seventeen years older than him, in his life.

Wan Guifei was not beautiful, her waist was like a bucket, and her face was like an aunt, but in front of Xianzong, she was a collection of three thousand favors, and the six palaces had no color. The reason why Wan Guifei is favored by Xianzong is that Xianzong suffers from hernia disease, and Wan Guifei is good at touching, so Xianzong can't do without her.

Wan Guifei was pregnant once when she was young, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage, and she was never able to give birth again because of her age. Wan Guifei was heartbroken because of this, and vented all her anger on the other concubines, and all those who were pregnant were secretly poisoned or killed by her, and even the prince could not escape the poisonous hands.

Xianzong has been with her for more than ten years since she was a child, and her food, clothing and daily life are under her care, which is already indispensable. Wan has already figured out his temperament for Xianzong, and he does what he likes, the so-called alertness and good at welcoming the emperor's will and capturing the hearts of men, in this regard, a teenage girl is obviously not an opponent of a thirty-five-year-old mature woman.

The Wan clan is pampered and arrogant, doing whatever he wants, and wantonly murdering the dragon species. The abortion maniac Wan Guifei not only poured abortion pills on Xiaozong's biological mother Ji, but also secretly assassinated Ji after Emperor Chenghua and the little prince recognized each other. This caused a great shadow on Xiao Youzhang's childhood.

The final outcome of this most bizarre sister-brother relationship in history is still unbelievable and sadomasochistic. In the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Wan Guifei died of a violent illness, and Xianzong did not go to court for seven consecutive days, and said sadly: "Wan Guifei is gone, and I am about to go." ”

In August, Xianzong really followed Wan Guifei. It seems that Xianzong's favor for Wan Guifei is a true expression of affection, pity, fear, and affection, intertwined.

Zhu Youzhu has finally ascended to the supreme throne, from the baby who was almost aborted, to the young child in the Anle Hall, the almost deposed prince, Zhu Youjiao, who is not yet 20 years old, has gone through all the hardships of life, and he will not forget his unjustly dead mother and all the kind people who paid a heavy price in order to keep him alive until now.

His father, Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen, was a cowardly emperor, not only cowardly in the court, but also in the harem. Wan Guifei So, Youjiao, who grew up under the oppression of her evil stepmother, learned the lesson of her father's abusive affection, and did not accept a concubine in her life, and carried out monogamy to the end.
