When an emperor succeeds, there is often a virtuous queen behind him, just like the Emperor of Han Wen has the Empress Dou, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty has the Queen of Grandson, and Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty has the Queen of Horse. A virtuous queen can often bring a better reputation to the emperor. However, there was an emperor in the Ming Dynasty who wanted to abolish the virtuous queen. This person
is Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong. What he insisted on abolishing was his original partner, Queen Hu.
Empress Hu is also Hu Shanxiang, the princess and grandson of Zhu Di personally selected for Zhu Zhanji. After Ming Renzong became the throne, Hu Shanxiang became the princess. After Zhu Zhanji of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty came to the throne, Hu Shanxiang was canonized as queen.
Empress Hu was virtuous and virtuous, and was appreciated by Zhu Di and Empress Zhang of Ming Dynasty, so she was able to successfully become a queen. Empress Hu has always abide by his duty and take care of the harem for Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Although there is no major contribution, it at least relieves the emperor from worry.
is the virtuous Queen Hu, who cannot be favored by Ming Xuanzong. Zhu Zhanji's favorite is Sun Guifei. He always wanted to establish Sun Guifei as his queen, but he couldn't get anyone's support. Moreover, Empress Hu was not at fault, and Zhu Zhanji couldn't find a reason for her abolition.
However, Queen Hu never failed to give birth to the prince, becoming her biggest weakness. Especially during this period, Sun Guifei gave birth to Zhu Zhanji's eldest son, Zhu Qizhen, which became her biggest advantage. was finally in Xuande for three years. Ming Xuanzong officially abolished Empress Hu and replaced the empress Sun Guifei on the grounds of "no follow-up and more illness".
Zhu Zhanji abolished the virtuous Queen Hu, which became a point of criticism for him. When the people knew that Hu was abolished, they sympathized with her very much. Ming Xuanzong's mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, has always liked Hu Shanxiang. After she was abolished, Empress Dowager Zhang took special care of her, and even caused the displeasure of Empress Sun.
Later, Queen Qian, the wife of Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, and Li Xian, a scholar, all requested the restoration of Hu Shanxiang's title. In the end, Ming Yingzong became Hu's supreme posthumous post, repairing a mausoleum, but not a temple.
After Zhu Zhanji was abandoned for no reason, people felt that he was very ruthless, but his son Zhu Qizhen was applauded. Empress Hu is virtuous and Zhu Zhanji insists on abolishing her, but Zhu Qizhen has a lame and blind person behind. The person
is the Queen of Money mentioned earlier. Z4z
Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji reigned for ten years and died when he was 38 years old. His son Zhu Qizhen was only nine years old. With the support of the Empress Dowager Zhang and the Empress Dowager Sun, Zhu Qizhen successfully ascended the throne for Ming Yingzong.
Orthodox for seven years, the Empress Dowager Zhang, who fancy the daughter of Qian Tong, who is the commander of the quake, made her the queen of Zhu Qizhen.
Although this is an arranged marriage, Zhu Qizhen is very satisfied with the wife, and the relationship between the couple has always been very good. However, Empress Qian, like Hu Shanxiang, never gave birth to the prince, while the concubine Zhou of Ming Yingzong gave birth to the eldest son Zhu Jianshen for him.
Queen Qian knew that she had no queen and was not qualified to be a queen, and she intended to give up her position as a queen. However, Ming Yingzong believed that his wife was virtuous and never wanted to apologize to her. Zhu Qizhen even refused to make Zhu Jianshen the prince. He just didn't want to make Queen Qian sad. He wanted to wait for his wife to give birth to a son and then become the prince.
Unfortunately, before the news of the Queen’s pregnancy, the Tumu Fortress took place and Ming Yingzong was taken away by Oala. The husband was captured, and the Queen Qian immediately took out all the property and wanted to redeem her husband. However, this piece of jewelry simply couldn't satisfy Yexian's appetite, and Ming Yingzong was not put back for it.
During this period, the officials supported Zhu Qiyu, the king of Yun, ascended the throne, and made Zhu Jianshen the prince. With the insistence of the ministers such as Yu Qian, he finally repelled Wala. However, Queen Qian didn't even care about it. She only cared about her husband's safety. She washed her face with tears all day long, kneeling on the ground and praying to God every day.
Just like that, Queen Qian was blind from crying in one eye, and because of the cold, one leg was also unable to walk normally. The dignified queen of the Ming Dynasty, just like this became a lame and blind woman.
Fortunately a year later, Ming Yingzong was released back, and Queen Qian's wish was finally fulfilled. When Zhu Qizhen saw his lame and blind wife with a lot of wind and frost on his face, he was deeply moved by the scene, and he hugged his wife tightly.
But the good days have not come, Zhu Qiyu enjoyAfter the temptation of power, he was unwilling to give way to his brother, so he simply put his family in confinement. But this is not important to Qian, because all she wants is to be together as a family.
During the seven years of confinement, Qian relied on needlework and asked people to exchange money outside the palace in exchange for food and clothing for the family. must know that at this time, Qian was already blind in one eye. As the saying goes, see the true love in adversity, although the seven years have been hard, it has deepened the relationship between Yingzong and his wife.
In the eighth year of Jingtai, Ming Yingzong was successfully reset with the help of Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen. Ming Yingzong re-established his eldest son Zhu Jianshen as prince and re-appointed his wife Qian as queen.
The group of officials believed that Qian was disabled and had no children, so he was no longer suitable for being a queen. Besides, Zhu Jianshen is already a prince. For the sake of the prince, it is more suitable to make his biological mother the queen. However, Ming Yingzong refused, and even demoted the official who raised the matter.
Under the protection of Zhu Qizhen, no one dared to mention anything after the abolition.
In the eighth year of Tianshun, Ming Yingzong was seriously ill. He knew that Qian was not the birth mother of the prince, and he was afraid that his wife would be persecuted after he died. "Z1z
Even so, he was still uneasy, and he told the academician Li Xian:
"Queen Qian will be buried with me in the future." Z1z
After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, it was Ming Xianzong.
Zhu saw that Qian was deeply respected as the empress dowager, but Qian was never his biological mother, so his attitude towards Qian became more and more negligent. Zhu Jianshen's biological mother, Zhou clan, relied on her own identity and thought that she would be buried with Ming Yingzong in the future, so she forced herself to be her aunt, and was opposed by the officials.
Chenghua four years, Qian passed away. According to Qian's identity as Yingzong's wife, and Ming Yingzong's final will, Qian should be the only woman who can be buried with Yingzong. However, the Queen Mother Zhou was unwilling and tried every means to prevent her from being buried with Yingzong.
Because of the will of the first emperor, although Zhu Jianshen was willing to protect his biological mother, he could not violate it, and it was hard to explain to the officials, so he had to order the Qian family to be buried with Yingzong. The Queen Mother of Zhou was unwilling, so she secretly bought the people who built the tomb, deliberately digging the wrong passage of Qian's tomb, staggered several feet away from Ming Yingzong's, and blocked the middle with stones.
In this way, it is a pity that Qian failed to be buried with Yingzong.
Queen Hu was not favored, but after she was deposed, she was treated kindly by the Queen Mother, and sympathized by the people of the world. Although Queen Qian was spoiled, her life was not smooth. After her husband died, she was bullied and even failed to be buried with her husband. So, sometimes fate is really unpredictable.
