When the emperor combed his hair, he learned that his son was in the cold palace, and the eunuch's words caused a court turmoil

Since ancient times, the wise king has often made the people rich. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Yuan Shizu, and Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, different materials were prosperous, Junyan Tuntun, Ke Yao Jianjian"。

It is"Demi-saint"Zeng Guofan spoke highly of the hundred emperors and the five generations of Ming monarchs. It can be said that Ming Xiaozong is a legendary figure among these five generations of emperors. Of course, his legend lies not in his exploits, but in his arduous life.

Chenghua is eleven years old, not as old as Ming Xiaozong Zhu Jianshen, and when he looks in the mirror, he can't help but feel sorry for his gray temples and changed appearance.

After a while, she looked at the eunuch standing behind her in the mirror combing her hair, and sighed in a low voice"I'm not old, but I don't have a son yet!"

Hearing Zhu Jinshen's words, the eunuch behind her began to tremble, and the movements in her hands suddenly slowed down. After thinking about it, he suddenly knelt down. Then, as if having exhausted the last breath of this life, I saw her say:"Your Majesty, you have a son, almost six years old!"

This eunuch's"Almost six-year-olds", is the future ruler of the Ming Empire - Ming Xiaozong Zhu Yousong.

Although he is the only son of Ming Xiaozong Zhu Jianshen, he has never met his father. Even after that, Zhu Youzhen, as the crown prince, still lived in fear every day. And the source of all this is a woman named Wan Zhen'er.

Prenatal problems.

In the fifth year of Chenghua, the bloodthirsty emperor Zhu Jinxuan fell in love with a little-known concubine in the harem. Then, Zhu Di patted her ass and left, not knowing the name of this girl with clear eyebrows from beginning to end.

Of course, this kind of thing is common for the emperor, and Ji prostitutes have long been Xi to it, but this time they turned against each other.

But Zhu Di would think that his life was sown for the second take-off of the entire Ming Empire"Seeds", rather than a rare makeover.

It didn't take long for Concubine Ji to be surprised to find that she didn't have three meals, even"The more you eat, the fatter you get"The daily toils often make her feel exhausted.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask herself"Elders", I don't have a fatal disease. The answer surprised her: she was pregnant!

Theoretically, it's a kind of"The crow becomes a phoenix"But during the Ming Dynasty known as Chenghua, it was difficult to see that the sun was good the next day.

Because in the center of this rich harem, it is Wan Zhen'er and Wan Guifei, and she makes the wind direction of the harem always there.

Wan Guifei is old enough to become Zhu Jianshen's mother and can enjoy all the favor of the emperor. The early death of her son made Concubine Wan jealous of all the women who had the blood of the emperor, and she had long been familiar with the act of killing alien fetuses.

Unexpectedly, the Wan consortium soon learned the news of Mrs. Ji's pregnancy and hurriedly dispatched.

It is outrageous that in the palatial harem of the Wan Consortium, the concubines did not even know about her existence until her belly was too big to hide. He ordered someone to imprison her in the cold palace, and then instructed the palace maids around him to take abortion pills to solve the matter.

When the palace maid delivered the abortion pill to the maidservant's house, she was suddenly stunned.

Looking at the poor concubine in front of him, thinking of her warm smile and kind attempts on weekdays, a wave of remorse welled up in his heart, making him make a decision that would save the Ming Empire if he executed her - he helped the concubine give birth to a child.

A few months later, Wan Guifei finally discovered her original act of kindness. At that moment, meanness, depagence, and cruelty came to his heart, so he ordered it to be used"Abortion Order"He executed the palace maid and ordered a eunuch named Zhang Min to strangle the newborn child.

But this time Wan Guifei miscalculated again. After the latest incident, many palace maids and eunuchs, including Zhang Min, expressed sympathy for the mother and son.

At the request of Wan Guifei, Zhang Min teamed up with several friends to stage a play"Tanuki for prince"successfully deceived Concubine Wan, and Zhu Yougong was lucky enough to hide in the cold palace.

Wan Guifei will"Noble"Zhang Min was introduced to Emperor Zhu Jinxuan, and a war without gunpowder gradually began.

The tragic career of the crown prince.

Ji Gongnao, who was born in a famous family in southern Xinjiang, was expelled from the palace for participating in the rebellion, and was sent to the palace because of his handsome appearance. In a remote thatched hut where there is almost no sun, the palace maid did not complain about the weather, but taught her son to read.

Zhang Min and several others often visited the mother and son, and every time Zhang Min saw Zhu Youzhen reading the articles of these ancient sages, he secretly made up his mind that he must let this child recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in the future.

It wasn't until one day that Zhang Min combed Zhu Yougong's hair and told him this shocking secret, and his life was so smooth and peaceful.

On that day, the atmosphere in the entire harem was extremely excited, and almost everyone's faces were filled with joy, except for two people, one was Wan Guifei and the other was Ji Gongnao.

Of course, it goes without saying that Wan Guifei lived for nearly six years, because of the hysterical anger, and even in his own opinion, he wanted to kill Zhu Youzhen with his own hands immediately.

Zhu Youzhen. When Ji Gongnu learned that Emperor Zhu Jianshen had come to look for her two sons, her face was not happy at all, because she knew that on the day her son left the hut where they had lived together for more than five years, the mother and son would say goodbye forever. She looked at Xiao Zhu Youkong with teary eyes:"Child, remember what your mother taught you, be kind to others, and learn to be tolerant. "

At the last moment of her life, Concubine Ji still had no resentment, let alone persuaded her son, the future Ming monarch, to take revenge.

At that time, Zhu Yougong didn't know what her mother's words meant, she just instinctively stretched out her little hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her mother's eyes, and then was carried away by the eunuch who came to pick her up.

Less than a month after Zhu Yougong became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, his mother and the eunuch Zhang Min, who helped him enter the East Palace, died one after another.

This is the insidious Wan Guifei"Revenge"The first step, but by no means the last step. Although Zhu Youxiao has become the prince and has been recognized as the heir to the throne, Wan Guifei still refuses to let him go.

But before Wan Guifei could carry out his special operation, Zhu Youzhen was taken away by a person who couldn't even provoke Wan Guifei, this person was the current emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhou.

In order to take care of this unfortunate grandson, Empress Dowager Zhou promised that whoever dared to hurt him would die without a place to be buried.

But she will not give up power to Wan Guifei, Wan Guifei has been in the harem for a long time, and even the son of the reigning queen can't live under him, how can the son of a prostitute be.

Wan Guifei saw that Zhu Youzhen couldn't kill him in the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she came up with a plan to invite the prince to her bedroom for dinner, and Emperor Zhu Jinxuan would personally give orders.

At this time, even the Empress Dowager Zhou was a little helpless, and the emperor's will was irresistible to the crown prince. Before Zhu Youxiao left, the Empress Dowager Zhou insisted and instructed Concubine Wan not to eat or drink anything in the palace.

Sure enough, as expected by the Empress Dowager Zhou, Concubine Wan Guifei changed her previous demeanor when Zhu Youzhen arrived, and completely became a gentle and elegant elder. He personally handed Zhu Yougong various dishes, and took out chopsticks to prepare to feed him personally, but Zhu Yougong did not speak. Although Zhu Yougong survived the most dangerous accident, it was not easy to wait for him.

When Wan Guifei realized that she couldn't kill Zhu Yougong, his mind changed. He began to stop doing anything to the pregnant concubines and Zhu Jianshen's sons, and at the same time, Wan Guifei began to ask Zhu Jianshen to get rid of the second prince Zhu Yougong"Pillow wind"Hair.

Wan Guifei obeyed Zhu Jinxuan's words, and this was no exception. He resisted the opposition in the palace, he did not listen to the eunuch's death, and he recognized Zhu Youzhen"Virtue is not matched"The second prince candidate.

Life in Zhu Youzhen"The darkest hour"Heaven helped him through the last hurdles.

Just when Zhu Jianshen and Concubine Wan Guifei were discussing the heir to the crown prince, Taishan ** happened. It can be said that Mount Tai is an important place for ancient emperors to measure their merits, and Mount Tai ** affects the fate of the entire dynasty.

Since Mount Tai is in the east, many ministers say that Mount Tai ** is"The East Palace is unstable"caused, even those favored by Zhu Jinzhen"National Teacher", traitors, and the like are the same. Zhu Di also saw it in his eyes and was shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to rashly transfer the idea of replacing the prince.

The crown prince's position was finally retained by Zhu Yougong, who went through hardships and dangers to finally ascend to this lofty position and lead the Ming Empire to new glory.

The strangest thing is that Zhu Yougong always kept in mind his mother's teachings, although Wan Guifei killed his mother and always wanted to kill him, he never thought about revenge.

A generation of famous marshals. In the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Zhu Di of Ming Xianzong died, and Zhu Yousong officially ascended the throne, which was for Ming Xiaozong, and the country name was Hongzhi.

Most people believe that Zhu Di was a mediocre ruler during his reign, allowing traitors and villains to corrupt**, which led to the chaos of the Ming Dynasty, but this was not the case. At the beginning of Zhu Di's reign, he saw that he had a generation of heroes, with heavy troops and strong strength.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Zhu Jinshen completely washed away his father's unjust murder of Yu Qian"Sinners through the ages", restored the father's reputation.

Internally, he rectified the rule of officials, actively restored military administration, and strengthened the defense of BeijingExternally, he actively adopted the minister's Pingbian policy, swept the Jurchens at Leting, and defeated the Mongols at the Hetao. Before Zhu Jinxuan's reign, Peng Neishi was politically sober and decisive.

However, the latter part of Zhu Jinxuan's reign was slightly mediocre. He set up the West Factory and appointed the traitorous minister Wang Zhi, which led to the demotion of the once honest ministersHe appointed the incompetent Wan An as the head of the cabinet, corrupted the wind and caused the Ming Palace to fall into"A game of inaction"The Circle;He even used the road of seeking immortals to release the heroes of the rivers and lakes and whip the eunuchs in the palace.

In the final analysis, what Zhu Jianshen left behind after Zhu Yousong's death was a loose **, and the national strength was declining, like a plate of scattered sand.

After Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, it took only one month to completely purge Zhu Jinshun's dynasty'All kinds of fish'。

But as his mother expected, Zhu Yousong did not kill a person like the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, but just drove them away. Zhu Yougong has been instilled with kind thoughts since he was a child.

After purging the mediocrities who had caused chaos in the palace, Zhu Yougong appointed Wang Jiu and Ma Wensheng as the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the military department respectively. Under their drastic reforms, the palace was completely renovated inside and out. of the Ming Dynasty"Hongji Zhongxing"And so it was born.

Zhu Yougong was the most diligent emperor of the Ming Dynasty, second only to his great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. Unfortunately, Zhu Youji's health was not as healthy as his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, and he died of overwork at the age of 36.

The reason why Zhu Yougong is regarded as"Five generations of Qin Wang"There is another important reason for the legend in the world, that is, he has only married one wife in his life, so to speak"Monogamy"The earliest advocate of .

Zhu Yougong's life can be described as"Pleasure without lewdness"。In fact, in the era of feudal monarchy and the turbulent Ming Dynasty, he was the only person in ancient times who could recognize and practice the imperial system in this way.
