In 1620, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and was known in history as Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty. In 1621, 17-year-old Zhu Youxiao got married and married the beautiful and virtuous Queen Zhang. Everyone was happy for Zhu Youxiao.

620, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, known in history as Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty. The first person he wanted to receive a grand reward after he took office was not the ministers of the Donglin Party who supported him ascended the throne, nor his biological mother Wang, nor his adoptive mother Li Xuanshi , but his wet nurse Keshi, who named her "Madam Fengsheng".

not only allowed her to enter and exit the harem freely, but also took -carrying sedan , enjoying the treatment of "two emperors".

621, 17-year-old Zhu Youxiao got married and married the beautiful and virtuous Queen . Everyone was happy for Zhu Youxiao. But his wet nurse Keshi inexplicably got angry and even jumped up in anger.

Strangely, Zhu Youxiao was not only not angry, but also went to the wet nurse's house in person to try every means to make her happy, and also said: I will go to whoever you want me to be lucky in the future, and I will stay overnight. It is all your arrangements. In this way, the nanny was comforted.

However, this nanny who has been favored by for 7 years did not laugh to the end. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian As soon as he ascended the throne, he liquidated her first and ordered people to beat her with a whip and flew with a flesh and blood. ended up very miserable.

According to Ming Dynasty regulations, wet nurses in the palace must leave the palace after the child is 6 years old. But not only did Keshi not weaned Zhu Youxiao but still did not leave after getting married, but she was also favored and held great power in the palace. What is her outstanding thing about it?

Emperor Chongzhen and his brother have a deep affection. Why did he refuse to let go of the wet nurse he valued the most after ascending the throne?

In this article, I will share the life of this wet nurse Keshi legend.

A rural woman was summoned to the palace and took good care of her grandson

Kishi, whose original name was Kishi and Yinyue , was from Baoding, Hebei. Before entering the palace, she was very ordinary. was just an illiterate country woman . She married a villager Hou Er early and gave birth to her son Hou Guoxing at the age of 18.

The only difference is that she looks extremely charming, and she is also a little lucky . Shortly after she gave birth to her son, Zhu Youxiao, the eldest grandson of Emperor Wanli, was born and was choosing a suitable wet nurse.

Ke Yinyue's family is poor, and she doesn't want to settle for the status quo, so she left her son to participate in the selection. After layers of screening, the beautiful and eloquent guest Yinyue finally won and successfully entered the palace.

Ke Yinyue, who just entered the palace, must be conscientious and responsible. Judging from Zhu Youxiao's attachment to her, Ke Yinyue definitely gave Zhu Youxiao a lot of maternal love.

  • In terms of feelings, she is also a mother. If she abandons her newborn son, she must have devoted all her maternal love to Zhu Youxiao.
  • In terms of interests, she is an ambitious woman, and Zhu You, the eldest grandson of the school emperor, is likely to be the future emperor, and naturally the best partner to curry favor with.

So, when she first entered the palace, she must have given all her energy and love to Zhu Youxiao, making Zhu Youxia regard her as her closest person.

and it happened to be right. Zhu Youxiao’s parents were in a bad situation at that time.

fatherzhu Changluo Although he is the prince, his status is always shaky. He lives a trembling life every day and cares very little about Zhu Youxiao.

According to historical records, Zhu Youxiao's mother had a hard time in the prince's mansion at that time.

" Huangkaoxuan Shishi, and repeatedly relied on his favor, beat the Holy Mother, which led to his death, which made me feel hatred for the end of heaven. Even though I was young, I have never forgotten it."—"Tongguan Shiyi"

From historical materials, we can see that Zhu Youxiao's biological mother was beaten by Li Xuanshi and was angry to death. After his mother's death, Emperor Wanli, under the persuasion of Concubine Zheng, handed over Zhu Youxiao to Li Xuanshi to raise.

"Selected servant insults and abuse, I cry day and night...Selected servant beat the previous Virgin Mary and thought he was guilty. He always asked the palace servant to steal the words of the Virgin Mary, but he did not let me talk to the Virgin Mary, and he would arrest him. ——"History of Ming Dynasty·Biography II·Biography of Concubine Li Kang"

means that Li Xuanshi's adoptive mother often verbs, humiliates and tortures Zhu Youxiao so that she cries all night. In this environment The care of the wet nurse Keshi is the only warmth that Zhu Youxiao has experienced. In this environment The care of the wet nurse Keshi is the only warmth that Zhu Youxiao has experienced. html . l2

So, every time the palace servants wanted to send their wet nurse out of the palace, Zhu Youxiao cried endlessly, and even did not eat or drink. had no choice, so Ke Yinyue stayed.

Environment made people, Ke Yinyue lived in the palace for so many years, and witnessed the nobleness of power and the humility of powerlessness.

She gradually planted a seed of power in her heart, and Zhu Youxiao's attachment to her made her desire gradually expand.

Principal Zhu You ascended the throne, and the wet nurse also reached the peak of his life

Zhu Youxiao's father was the emperor for only 29 days and died.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, the first person to be awarded was the wet nurse, and she was named " Holy Lady ".

Her family also benefited from it, and her son Hou Guoxing and younger brother Ke Guangxian were all in the royal family.

The treatment of Ke Yinyue in the palace was like the empress dowager, She was sitting in an eight-carriage sedan, and the crystal lamp that returned to the palace at night was a Dutch-door crystal lamp.

Every time she traveled, there were 0 people surrounded by her. When the eunuchs on duty knelt down to greet him. If the guest Yinyue looked at anyone more, it would be extremely honorable.

Someone joked that the style of Gu Yinyue returning to the palace was even better than the specifications of the emperor's trip.

Keshi came from Xixiamamen and changed to a large sedan chair. Only when the foreign servants were carrying it away. The sound of the palace was far above the holy carriage. The lights were shining brightly as bright as the daytime, and the clothes were delicious. Like a god, a man is like a flowing water, a horse is like a dragon. God! Emperor! People in the capital never see this. ——"Zhou Zhongzhi"

King Yinyue's birthday, the emperor must go to celebrate his birthday in person, and gave him twenty or thirty kilograms of ginseng at one time.

King Yinyue is afraid of heat, so the emperor immediately ordered people to build a large pergola in her palace, giving ice.

Zhu You proofread the wet nurse is filial, but the favor is indeed beyond the standards, very inconsistent with the rules, and even abnormal, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers.

After Zhu Youxiao's wedding, the ministers advised him to let his wet nurse leave the palace.

But on the day when the guest Yinyue left the palace, Zhu Youxiao did not eat or drink, and got upset again.

"If you lose your soul, you will not eat for a few days" - "History of Ming Dynasty"

She just left, and Zhu Youxiao lost his soul. . Despite the opposition of others, he insisted on issuing an order to recall and ordered the ministers not to bother him about it again.

can be seen, Zhu Youxiao lost his soul. There is a strong Oedipus complex, and even when you get married, you still cannot live without this wet nurse who once gave him maternal love.

From the side, Ke Yinyue must have played a lot of tricks in order to stay.

attempts to charm the emperor and become the woman who becomes the emperor

This is not without precedent. Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen fell in love with a nanny who was 18 years older than him. After becoming the emperor, he insisted on signing her as the queen.

Under the interference of the empress dowager and the minister, he barely named a noble concubine. But she only favored her.

Judging from Ke Yinyue's various performances, She also wanted to imitate Wan Guifei, just failed.

One, Ke Yinyue went to Qianqing Palace every morning to take care of Zhu Youxiao's daily life and diet, and did not return to her Xian'an Palace until the evening.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao was 16 years old and did not need a wet nurse to serve him inseparably every day.

Secondly, she usually dresses very beautifully. In order to keep her hair black and smooth, she often combs her hair with the saliva of a young palace maid. If you only take care of your son as a mother, there is no need to dress like this.

Third, Ke Yinyue often processes and cooks tonics such as horse kidneys, dragon eggs, and whip to supplement Xizong with , which is even more not what a mother should do.

The fourth, when Zhu Youxiao was married, her performance was even more abnormal and she lost her temper for no reason.

The various behaviors show not the image of a loving mother, but a little woman who desires favor.

Just, In Zhu Youxiao's mind, she has always been a mother.

From the above facts, it can be seen that although Zhu Youxiao relies on her, the rewards she gives her are also material.

He was not stingy with the wet nurse's glory and wealth, but he did not insist on taking her as a concubine like Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty.

Ke Yinyue was very dissatisfied with this.

group abuses the concubines in the harem, harming the imperial heirs

"History of Ming Dynasty. Biography of Concubines" records the atrocities of Keshi: the queen Zhang had an abortion, the imperial concubine Feng died suddenly in the wilderness, the second son Zhu Ciying died before the age of 1, and the third son Ci Jiong died before the age of 1...

When Queen Zhang was pregnant, she was about to find a palace servant to massage for relief due to low back pain. Unexpectedly, Ke Yinyue knew about it and bribed the palace maid to give Queen Zhang a stillbirth, and never gave birth again.

is pregnant, and the guest and Wei have passed the palace people to the difference, and they are privately responsible. The back and waist were hurt, so the palace servant summoned the palace servant to pound it. The palace servant wanted to damage the fetus, but the pounding was too fierce and it actually damaged the Yuanzi. —— "The Unknown of the Ming Yi'an"

The one who was worse than her was Zhang Yufei. After she became pregnant, she did not give birth to her due date. People at that time did not understand science and believed in superstition.

Ke Yinyue was in front of the emperor and said that Concubine Zhang Yu could not give birth to a child when she was due to her due date. It was a crime of deceiving the emperor. Moreover, rumors in the palace said that Concubine Zhang Yu was pregnant with a monster.

Zhu Youxiao has always trusted the wet nurse, and once the rumors were mixed up, he really sent Concubine Zhang Yu into another palace.

The so-called other palace is the aisle between the palace walls, which is even worse than entering the cold palace.

At least there is a house in the cold palace, and you can only stay here by the wind and rain. How can a pregnant woman bear such torture?

What’s abominable is that also cut off all her diet.

Concubine Zhang could only rely on the rain dripping from the eaves, and after 14 days of force, she starved to death in another palace, with one corpse and two lives.

Ke Yinyue used all his vicious means to harm the imperial heirs and suppress the concubines, resulting in the fact that no one of the princes in Zhu Youxiao grew up, and was directly defeated.

But even so, no one can tell Ke Yinyue. Even Queen Zhang could not shake Ke Yinyue's position in Zhu Youxiao's mind.

, and Zhu Youxiao's indulgence made the guest Yinyue even more unscrupulous. She was not satisfied with being domineering in the harem and reached out to the front dynasty.

Collude with eunuch Wei Zhongxian and controls the government

I have to say that Ke Yinyue has a strong ability to recognize people. When eunuch Wei Zhongxian first cursed her, she was nothing. There is no money, no status, but just a mouth that can flatter, that's enough.

Ke Yinyue admired him very much. The two of them formed a pair of food and lived together.

Under Ke Yinyue's praise, he quickly became a big celebrity in front of Zhu Youxiao.

So, the couple began to plan to clear the obstacles one by one.

When it comes to Wei Zhongxian, he knows that he is cruel and vicious, but what many people don’t know is that he is just a scumbag compared to Ke Yinyue.

The first political class he climbed up while stepping on someone else's body was taught by Ke Yinyue.

Eunuch Wang An was once a meritorious service for supporting Zhu Youxiao and his father Zhu Changluo, and was highly valued by the emperor. Moreover, he has a good character and has helped Wei Zhongxian a lot.

But if Wei Zhongxian wants to replace him, he must eradicate him. Wei Zhongxian's idea is to force him to withdraw from the political stage and just give it to himself.

But Ke Yinyue didn't think so, and a few words made Wei Zhongxian want to kill Wang An.

She asked Wei Zhongxian: "How are you more capable than Li Xuanshi?"

Li Xuanshi was Zhu Changluo's favorite concubine. We have said before that she could beat Zhu Youxiao's biological mother to death. Not only did she get impunity, but she also snatched her son to raise her. This person is obviously not simple. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian was just a servant of Li Xuanshi before.

After she asked, Wei Zhongxian knew that his current abilities could not be compared with Li Xuanshi.

Ke Yinyue continued: "Didn't Li Xuanshi lose in the end in Wang An? Why do we leave the root of disaster? This person must be killed!"

Wei Zhongxian also felt that his wife's analysis was correct, and he wiped out the roots and assassinated Wang An.

After that, it was out of control.

In the previous dynasty, Wei Zhongxian would like to please Zhu Youxiao, and all the memorials were read by him; in the harem, there was a guest Yin Yue, who repeatedly slandered him. Soon, the ministers of the Donglin Party were eliminated one by one by two, and no one in the court could restrict them.

and so on, Wei Zhongxian has the title of " thousand years old ", and Ke Yinyue is also called "The ancestor's wife Qiansheng". Even the people in the world only know that there is Wei Zhongxian, but not the emperor.

The higher the power, the stronger the couple's desire, and soon the two made the court and harem chaotic.

Zhu Youxiao had no children. When he was critically ill, the bold Ke Yinyue actually introduced a pregnant woman outside the uterus to the palace, trying to pretend to be the royal heir.

The confused Zhu Youxiao actually agreed to this matter in order to ensure that there is a successor.

After Queen Zhang learned about it, she urged the emperor not to confuse the royal bloodline. It would be better to pass the throne to his younger brother Zhu Youjian.

Empress Zhang and Zhu Youxiao were in a stalemate for a long time before convinced Zhu Youxiao.

Keyinyue The vicious good days finally come to an end.

Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and Ke Yinyue was liquidated

625, Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian accompanied Zhu Youxiao to play on a boat in the Xiyuan , drinking and having fun. Suddenly, a strong wind blew over the boat, and Zhu Youxiao fell into the water. Although he was rescued, he fell into the disease.

In order to recover as soon as possible, Zhu Youxiao, under the arrangement of Wei Zhongxian, drank a lot of "unique medicine", which led to swelling and bedridden.

627, Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjiao, who had been in power for seven years, passed away at the age of 23.

Before his death, he finally passed the throne to his younger brother Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen.

After Zhu Youjian entered the palace, he followed Queen Zhang's advice and does not eat food from the palace, but brings his own dry food.

At this time, the court was almost full of Wei Zhongxian's party members. The dignified emperor often had to carry people on his back and secretly chew a few bites of his own dry food to maintain his life.

He had just ascended the throne and had unstable foundations, so he could only endure humiliation and continue to use Wei Zhongxian on the surface, secretly gradually eliminated his followers, and finally took Wei Zhongxian's life directly.

Ke Yinyue also knew that her good days were over, and she began to miss the emperor who once really loved her.

Zhu Youxiao supported her sky like a big tree, but she tried hard to knock down the big tree. From now on, this big tree will no longer take care of her.

That morning, she wore mourning clothes and took out his childhood , acne scabs, nails and other objects in the Zhu Youjiao mourning hall. She looked at the objects and thought of others and was deeply sad.

Chongzhen The emperor had long heard of her all kinds of evil deeds and hated her to the core. She ordered someone to take her to the washing clothes bureau and torture her, so she could only admit all her crimes obediently.

every one is not to be punished. Emperor Chongzhen ordered the whipping of the on Ke Yinyue, which made the skin and flesh bloom and the flesh fly.

fainted and then poured water to wake up until the breath was cut off. Emperor Chongzhen's breath had not yet been released. He also ordered to burn her bones, scatter the ashes on the ground, and let others trample on it. is really satisfying.

Rebellious Mama Ke... When he was confiscated by the order, he went to the Washing Clothes Bureau. Within November, the imperial envoy Zhao Benzheng, the manager of the Qianqing Palace, was beaten to death in front of the bureau, and found that he burned the body and raised ashes in Jingletang. ——"Zhu Zhongzhi·Ke Wei Shishi Ji"

written at the end

Ke Yinyue is a very lucky woman, and her biggest shortcoming is that she does not know herself.

She was fortunate to be selected among the crowd and became the wet nurse of the future emperor Zhu Youxiao.

She was fortunate to meet Zhu Youxiao who knew how to be grateful. Her efforts were not in vain and she received generous rewards.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t know how to be content.

After having a status of glory, wealth and honor, he wanted to go further, attempt to control the government and covet the throne.

But my talent cannot support my ambitions, and my ability cannot control my goals.

Therefore, we can only choose the wrong way, and the ending of tragic death is inevitable.

As the saying goes, houses are afraid of unstable foundations, and people are afraid of gaining power and forgetting their roots.

, but Ke Yinyue has shallow virtues, but occupies a high position; his intelligence is limited, but he insists on planning major events; his strength is limited, but he has to bear heavy responsibilities. In this way, how can you not cause trouble?
