The most important reason is that Ming Yingzong is to protect his beloved wife and rule out the possibility of his wife being forced to be buried after his death to the greatest extent. His wife, Empress Qian, and Ming Yingzong shared hardships and hardships for a long time, which the suffering Ming Yingzong could not forget. Despite this, because the queen did not give birth to a son, the queen was at an extremely disadvantage in the intricate inner palace struggle. At that time, the son of Zhou Guifei was established as the crown prince. Concubine Zhou was very jealous of the emperor's favor for Empress Qian. When Ming Yingzong was not dead, there were eunuchs who suggested abolishing the empress, although he denied it, but he knew the mystery behind it. When Ming Yingzong was dying, he realized that he could no longer protect the queen, but he couldn't bear to let the queen be forced to be martyred, so he "took the will, determined the status of the concubine, and did not bury the concubine. In this way, Ming Yingzong had prescribed the title of Empress Qian in advance. When some ministers learned that Ming Yingzong had abolished the funeral system for palace concubines, they were moved to tears. After the death of Ming Yingzong, Zhou Guifei really launched an attack on Empress Qian, but fortunately, some ministers fought according to the edict and reason, so that Zhou Guifei's intention did not succeed. In addition to Queen Qian, other concubines who have been in trouble with Yingzong should also be considered by Yingzong.

Emperor Xianzong, the successor of Ming Yingzong, also stressed once again on his deathbed that he should not be martyred to show respect for the decision of the previous emperor. The insistence of the two generations of emperors finally put an end to the human martyrdom system since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Content source Baidu Li Xin's face changed, and said: "The Hong Gang, formerly known as Hongmen, is a big gang that has emerged in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and its power can be said to be one of the best gangs. Li Rulong exclaimed: "What, a Heavenly Empire would ask a little Hong Gang to come up with ideas, this is too insulting for me to say it!" Li Xin sighed, shook his head and said: "Who said it wasn't, it's a shame to say that our group of literati is not as good as a Hong Gang!" Li Junwen doubted: "Daddy, what is the origin of this Hongmen, why does the imperial court have to listen to their ideas and let them do anything in the land of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Rulong said: "Yes, brother, what is the origin of this Hongmen, through such a great supernatural power?" Li Xin said: "Speaking of Hongmen, we have to mention a person, if it weren't for this person, Hongmen might just be just a small gang in the rivers and lakes, how can there be today's scenery?" Li Rulong said: "Who is this person, is he so powerful, even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has to listen to him?" Li Xin said: "When Emperor Wen opposed the enthroned Emperor Jianwen after the death of Taizu, he waved his troops south in a fit of anger and launched the Battle of Jingyan, in this four-year war, that person had helped Emperor Wen a lot, if it weren't for him, Emperor Wen might not be able to sit on the throne of the Ming Dynasty, maybe now it's just a prince of Beijing City!" Li Junwen suddenly patted his head and said, "Daddy, the person you are talking about won't be Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, right?" Li Rulong was puzzled: "Who is Yao Guangxiao?" Is he powerful? How is it compared to Liu Bowen? ”

Li Xin said: "It can be said that it is not up and down, right?" Li Rulong said: "Is there such a powerful person in the world? Li Xin nodded and said: "Although this Yao Guangxiao is a monk, he was born in troubled times, he was studious since he was a child, good at poetry and painting, and became a monk at the age of fourteen, named Daoyan. Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, good poetry and literature are even more rare is that this person is also proficient in yin and yang techniques. He has a wide range of contacts, and from the Lingying Palace, the Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen learned the Taoist "Book of Changes", Fangshu and the study of soldiers. It is said that once when he visited Songshan Temple, he devoted himself to the study of internal and external classics from Master Yu'an in Jingshan for 23 years, and became a more famous monk at that time. However, he has never given up the ambition of achieving great causes, pursued utilitarianism, admired Liu Bingzhong, the founding hero of the country who was born as a monk in the early Yuan Dynasty, and wanted to achieve the merit of founding the country. Yuan Hui said to him: "What a different monk! The eyes are triangular, shaped like a sick tiger, and the sex will be murderous, and Liu Bingzhong is also flowing. Twenty-three years in Jingshan from Master Yu'an devoted himself to the study of internal and external classics, and became a more famous monk at that time. However, he has never given up the ambition of achieving great causes, pursued utilitarianism, admired Liu Bingzhong, the founding hero of the country who was born as a monk in the early Yuan Dynasty, and wanted to achieve the merit of founding the country. Li Rulongqi said: "Such a powerful character, why has Hongwu never heard of such a character in the world?" Li Xin glanced at Li Rulong in surprise and said, "The teacher seems to be very familiar with the characters of the Taizu Dynasty!" Li Rulong said: "Brother said there, just a little bit of it!" ”

Li Xin nodded and said: "As for why this Yao Guangxiao will end up in obscurity in Hongwu, it is because in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Taizu chose a high monk to serve the kings and recite scriptures for the late Queen Ma. He was recommended to become an important adviser to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and followed Zhu Di of Yan to the abbot of Daqingshou Temple in Beiping. Since then, he has often been in and out of the Yanwang Mansion, participated in the conspiracy to seize the throne, and became an important adviser to Zhu Di. Before Zhu Di called the army in "Jing Nan", he recommended the Xiangshi Yuan Hui to divination and other methods, and through the analysis of the political and military situation at that time, he urged Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to strengthen his confidence; He also trained sergeants in the back garden of the palace, made military weapons, and made military preparations; On the eve of the army in June of the first year of Jianwen, he planned to capture Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and Xie Gui, the commander of the capital. In the battle of Jingjing, he stayed in Beiping, and suggested that King Yan advance with light cavalry and take Nanjing, "do not go down to the city, rush to the Beijing division, the Beijing division is weak, and it is bound to move", and advised Zhu Di not to kill Fang Xiaoru: "On the day of the city, he will not surrender, fortunately do not kill him." Kill filial piety, the seeds of reading in the world are extinct! ”。 In October, he assisted the prince of Yan Wang to lead 10,000 people to guard the tomb tower of Yao Guangxiao, a senior monk and military division, and defeated hundreds of thousands of Northern Expedition divisions of the imperial court. After that, he still praised and conspired, and finally made Zhu Di win the throne. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was the first official monk to record Si Zuo Shanshi, and accepted Zheng He as a disciple of the Bodhisattva vows, and the Dharma name was Fu Jixiang. In the second year of Yongle, he was awarded the title of prince and young master, and his surname was restored, and he was given the name Guangxiao. In August of the same year, Yao Guangxiao returned to his hometown to visit relatives and friends, and went to Changzhou to visit his sister. Then he ran to his sister, and she scolded him again. Guangxiao was stunned, and experienced the taste of rebellion and separation, and before he died, he asked the emperor to release the main monk Puqia when Jianwen, and Ming Chengzu agreed to him. Yongle 16 years of March 18 died of illness in Qingshou Temple, "the emperor mourned, dropped out of the dynasty for two days", with a monk funeral, hundreds of officials mourned the person actually reached "shoulder rubbing heels, adding Guo Yiqu". Posthumously presented Tui Cheng Auxiliary State Conspiracy Xuanli Wenchen, Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, Shangzhu Guo, Rongguo Gong, and Gongjing. Buried in the northeast of Fangshan County. In the first year of Hongxi, he gave a young master and enjoyed the ancestral temple. ”

Li Rulong was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at the sky for a while, and sighed: "There is such a strange person in the world, who has made the entire Ming Dynasty change color for him with his own strength!" ”

Li Junwen interjected: "Then Yao Guangxiao is so powerful, but the child doesn't understand, how can he have anything to do with you like this Hong Gang?" I heard that although this person is powerful, he is afraid of the danger of officialdom in his later years, so although he is an official, he has not changed his identity as a monk, and is mainly responsible for the guidance and reading of the prince and grandson. ”

Li Xin said: "Although Yao Guangxiao hates officialdom, he has not withdrawn from officialdom, he helped Emperor Wen a lot in the Battle of Jingjing, it can be said that without him, there may be no today's Emperor Wen, so Emperor Wen trusts him very much, and he has accompanied Emperor Wen for many years, and is the only friend of Emperor Wen." With such a status, even if he hates officialdom, officialdom doesn't dislike him? Yao Guangxiao before the Jingnan, a wandering monk on one side, traveled in all directions, and one year he traveled in Lushan and met a character who made the Hong Gang soar! Li Junwen was shocked: "Who is he?" ”

Li Xin paused and said: "This person's surname is Yuan Minghui, before he met Yao Guangxiao, he was just a well-known Taoist priest. That year, Yao Guangxiao was killed by his old friends Song Lian and Gao Qiduo by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and he was strongly dissatisfied with the politics of the Hongwu Dynasty. In order to vent this dissatisfaction, he came to Henan alone, on this day, Yao Guangxiao was talking with his friends in the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, and happened to meet the most famous face master Yuan Hui at that time. As soon as Yuan Hui saw Yao Guangxiao, he was greatly surprised: "Now that the world is too peaceful, how can there be a monk with such a strange appearance?" You see that this pair of triangular eyes is strange and extraordinary, the face looks like a sick tiger, but there is a murderous aura in his bones, this must be a master who is good at power and strategy, and he will definitely be able to establish a great cause in the future. After Yao Guangxiao heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was overjoyed. He hurriedly grabbed Yuan Heng's hand and made him a close friend. Soon after, Yao Guangxiao finally found an opportunity.

This year, Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Queen Ma unfortunately died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang searched for monks in the world, assigned them to various princes, and let the monks recite scriptures in the feudal kingdom of the vassal kings, and pray for Queen Ma. Yao Guangxiao was recommended and was also among the applicants. When Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for these monks to meet with the vassal kings, Yao Guangxiao fell in love with Zhu Di, the fourth prince who was named King Yan. Yao Guangxiao saw that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was dignified, magnificent, and the most emperorly, so he recommended himself to follow Zhu Di. Zhu Di saw Yao Guangxiao's triangular eyes and bloated body, but he was a little reluctant to ask him. Yao Guangxiao walked up to Zhu Di and whispered to Zhu Di: "If the poor monk can be used by His Royal Highness, he will definitely be able to offer you a white hat." King Yan felt that there was something in the monk's words, isn't the "king" with a "white" hat the "emperor"? So they dragged him into the inner room and talked about it in detail. Yao Guangxiao discussed the past and the present, analyzed the current situation, and whipped into reason. When King Yan heard this, he immediately asked Taizu to give Yao Guangxiao to him. Shortly thereafter, Yao Guangxiao came to Beiping with King Yan, nominally the abbot of Qingshou Temple, but in fact often went in and out of King Yan's mansion, becoming King Yan's most important adviser and confidant. Hongwu thirty-one years, Taizu died, passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yun, Yao Guangxiao learned, knew that the opportunity had come, so he tried his best to incite Yan King Zhu Di to rebel, although Zhu Di coveted the throne for a long time, but with a corner against the world, the heart is still bottomless, dare not lightly put into practice. Yao Guangxiao persuaded him to send troops as soon as possible, but he said with a heavy heart: "Now that Emperor Jianwen has not lost the support of the people, I am unpopular with my army, and the result is unpredictable!" Yao Guangxiao said: "I have been studying the astronomical calendar, and I know that now the world should be yours of Your Highness, and the way of heaven is on our side, so there is no need to worry about public opinion." But King Yan still couldn't make up his mind, and sighed to himself every day, at a loss.
