She is the protagonist of the palace removal case", and when she died, it had been fifty-four years since this case, and it had been a full thirty years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, her husband and only daughter had already died of illness, and her son-in-law and grandchildren were also on the ground, and the owner of the Forbidden City had also been replaced by her husband's Zhu family to the Aixin Jueluo royal family, but she herself was still tenaciously alive until the fourteenth year of Kangxi.

Some people say that the Ming Dynasty died in the Donglin Party, although it may not be the case, but the Donglin Party must definitely bear most of the responsibility for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Things have to start from the 48th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, this year the Ming Dynasty was unfavorable, this year the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty died before and after, July 21 Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun died, and the Taichang Emperor Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo who had just ascended the throne also died on the first day of September. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked by this.

On the first day of September, on the day of Mingguangzong's death, the Forbidden City Qianqing Palace.

All the cabinet courtiers, the six Shangshu, and all the courtiers gathered in the main hall to discuss the funeral of the Daxing Emperor and the new monarch's accession to the throne, but at this time, someone actually found that the emperor's eldest son Zhu Youxiao was "missing", according to the funeral etiquette of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor's eldest son should be filial piety in front of the spirit of Zigong Palace at this time, and the filial son will go to **?

Liu Yixiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of the funeral, immediately questioned the eunuchs in the palace, and the eldest son of the emperor was in **?In the face of the questioning of the Ministry of Rites, no one dared to answer, only the eunuch Wang An, the chief eunuch of the eunuch, stepped forward and said slowly to Liu Yixie: "The eldest son of the emperor is in the palace of Li Xuanshi", and the selection of servants here refers to the maids in the palace who have not been titled and have served in bed.

A palace maid without any name has any qualifications to hide the prince, Liu Yixiao, the furious secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately rushed to the Xinuan Pavilion where Li Xuan's servant lived with other civil officials, after all, it was the inner palace, and they did not dare to enter without permission, so they asked the eunuch Wang An to go in to persuade and threaten, which meant that he hoped that Li Xuanzhi would send the emperor's eldest son out, I don't know what Wang An said, after some negotiations, Wang An successfully persuaded Li Xuanzhi, and Li Xuanzhi handed over the prince Zhu Youxiao to the civil official to go to Wenhua Palace, that is, the crown prince.

Here is a brief introduction to Zhu Youxiao, the 16-year-old Zhu Youxiao is the eldest grandson of the Wanli Emperor and the eldest son of the Taichang Emperor, this chosen son is very unfortunate, Zhu Changluo has not been able to get his father's love in his life, although he is the crown prince, but he has not received the due education of the prince, and his son Zhu Youxiao is even more miserable, when he was sixteen years old, he was still illiterate, which is really appalling. The biological mother is the Wang family. Due to the death of the Wang family, Wanli remembered that the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao was young, and Emperor Wanli asked Li Xuan, the crown prince Zhu Changluo, to raise Zhu Youxiao.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has a deep affection for Li Xuanzhi, and after Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, in order to thank Li Xuanzhi for his nurturing grace, he wanted to crown Li Xuanzhi as a concubine many times, but he was blocked by the Donglin Party. In fact, Zhu Changluo hoped to assist Zhu Youxiao through Li Xuanzhi to balance the court situation and achieve the purpose of balancing the outer court, but he didn't expect him to hang up so quickly.

In fact, Li Xuanzhi is also a beautiful woman, in fact, a very poor woman, Zhu Changluo has no status as a prince, and is not treated by Wanli, although Li Xuanzhi is too favored by Zhu Changluo, but his personal life is also very difficult, although he gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor Zhu Youmo, he died at the age of five, leaving only a daughter, Zhu Changluo's position as the prince is even more precarious, the prince can be assassinated, and Li Xuanzhi's status in the palace can be imagined.

Li Xuanzhi finally survived until Guangzong ascended the throne, she did not expect the queen, and being an imperial concubine was completely qualified, but the courtiers led by the Donglin Party wrote to strongly oppose it. Although Zhu Changluo repeatedly proposed, in the end it was all gone. What he didn't expect was that Guangzong died in January. Li Xuanshi's only reliance now is Zhu Youxiao, who she raised single-handedly. This is the reason why she stubbornly controls Zhu Youxiao.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the Qianqing Palace was the residence of the emperor, and as soon as Guangzong died, Li Xuan's maid who did not even have a name had to move. Go to the concubine's special nursing home, Luan Palace. Such a bleak ending, Li Xuanzhi absolutely couldn't accept it, so she wanted to be the queen mother as the emperor's adoptive mother, but she didn't expect that Li Xuanzhi handed over the emperor under the flickering of the eunuch Wang An, which lost the biggest bargaining chip, although Li Xuanzhi reacted later, but it was too late. The snatching of the prince ended in the defeat of Li Xuanzhi.

At this time, the courtiers escorted the sixteen-year-old Zhu Youxiao to the Wenhua Hall to hold the ceremony of "Zhengdong Palace", and the Ministry of Rites agreed in advance to let Zhu Youxiao be placed in the Qianqing Palace, that is, the emperor's throne. Even so, Li Xuanzhi decided to take root in the Qianqing Palace and wait for Zhu Youxiao to return to the Qianqing Palace to live, so that he could still "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

In this case, the speech officials led by Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the backbone of the Donglin Party, wrote to Li Xuanzhi many times, but no matter what the speech officials said, Li Xuanzhi should not have heard it. In fact, not only Li Xuanzhi would play scoundrels, but also courtiers would play scoundrels, and on the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, another major event happened.

Ciqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

Almost all the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty came to the outside of the Ciqing Palace, knelt at the gate of the palace together, and implored Zhu Youxiao to order Li Xuanzhi to move out of the Qianqing Palace immediately. 16-year-old Zhu Youxiao actually wants Li Xuanzhi to be with him. He didn't understand what was there to fight about in this matter. Obviously, Zhu Youxiao did not realize that the core of this matter was the question of whether the Donglin Party must control the situation of the court, or whether the queen mother or the eunuch should govern the situation, which must not be retreated.

Since Zhu Youxiao did not reply, Yang Lian asked Congzhe, the first assistant of the cabinet, to ask Zhu Youxiao for advice on behalf of the courtiers. But Fang Congzhe, who was born in the Zhejiang Party, was naturally unwilling to take advantage of the fire of the Donglin Party. Therefore, Fang Congzhe also adopted a delaying attitude towards this. Yang Lian was strongly dissatisfied with this, accusing Fang Congzhe of being a big slippery head and dealing with both ends of the world. The eunuchs in the harem also accused the Donglin Party of forcing the palace because they had the same interests as Li Xuanzhi.

In this case, Zhu Youxiao could only let Li Xuanzhi move out of the Qianqing Palace and move to Renshou Palace. Since the emperor issued an edict, how dare a nameless and pointless servant continue to make trouble. Li Xuanzhi was full of resentment and unwillingness, and moved out of the Qianqing Palace with interest. But because of this, she laughed at the end.

On the sixth day of September, Zhu Youxiao officially ascended the throne and became the emperor in the Qianqing Palace, the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhou Jiamo, the core figure of the Donglin Party, and Zhang Wenda, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, proposed that the emperor had no relatives in the palace, and could he entrust Li Xuanzhi to take care of him. Yang Lian immediately objected, and the reason for his opposition was "How can the Son of Heaven be entrusted to a woman?"."Letting Li Xuanzhi raise the emperor is a trick played in order to seize power.

The reason why the Donglin Party couldn't wait to drive Li Xuanshi out of the Qianqing Palace was to completely control Zhu Youxiao and control the court situation. After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he naturally repaid the Donglin Party that helped him ascend the throne smoothly, and praised Yang Lian even more, praising him as a pillar of the imperial court and being promoted to the imperial history of the left capital.

Soon, the first assistant Fang Congzhe and other cabinet ministers were deposed, and they were replaced by Ye Xianggao, Liu Yixian and others from Donglin**. Immediately, a political pattern was formed in which Donglin was outside, and the eunuch Wang was inside, and the two sides were each other's horns, and the Donglin Party was once again in charge of the government.

But after a long time, Zhu Youxiao realized that the Donglin Party was getting bigger and bigger in the outer courts, and it had the power to override the imperial power, in this case, Zhu Youxiao could only choose to fight against the Donglin Party in the eunuch, and finally locked his eyes on the nurse Keshi and her opponent a eunuch, this person was the famous nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian in the future.

In this way, the nightmare of the Donglin Party began. The seven-rank official who supported Zhu Youxiao's ascension to the throne at the beginning, and now Yang Lian, who is the left deputy capital of the imperial history, was dismissed and imprisoned by Zhu Youxiao for the twenty-four major crimes of Wei Zhongxian in the third year of the Apocalypse. Subsequently. The Donglin Party was completely eradicated by Wei Zhongxian.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao added Li Xuanzhi as Concubine Kang, and had a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian, and had a good life, after Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen succeeded to the throne, he retained the title of Concubine Kang, that is, he did not give him the title and power, but continued to take Emperor Wanli's Liu Zhaofei as the concubine of Xuanyi, in charge of the seal of the Empress Dowager and the exercise of the power of the Empress Dowager.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty perished, and Empress Zhou of Ming Sizong and Empress Zhang of Ming Xizong committed suicide and martyrdom. Li Xuanzhi chose to survive, was captured by Li Zicheng, and later fell into the hands of the Qing court, she and some other surviving and fleeing Ming Dynasty concubines were supported by the Qing court, until Kangxi died in the 14th year, which is also a miracle. As for later generations, it was said that she killed Zhu Youxiao's biological mother and abused Zhu Youxiao, but Li Xuanzhi must have attached himself to Wei Zhongxian, but this is just for self-preservation, and it is not easy to survive in troubled times.
