Princess Baoqing, Zhu Yuanzhang's beloved daughter, has been favored by five dynasties
Nanjing has an ancient tomb of a princess of the Ming Dynasty, called the tomb of Princess Baoqing. According to the staff, the tomb was excavated in 2008, but because it was not included in the scope of cultural protection, many people in the local area did not know about it.
Mr. Fang, a lover of Nanjing's cultural museum, expressed surprise and excitedly asked the staff about the identity of the tomb owner, Princess Baoqing.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Mr. Fang immediately got up and went to the location of the tomb. As soon as he got out of the car, he couldn't wait to run to the entrance of the tomb. What he didn't expect, however, was a dilapidated and overgrown sight.
The sight is even worse than the tombs of a thousand years ago. At this moment, Mr. Fang couldn't help but sigh: "Princess Baoqing, how long can you hold on?" To this day, it is still unknown how long Princess Baoqing's tomb will last.
However, although she only lived for forty years, she lived an extremely luxurious life. After Xuande's death in the eighth year, she was described in the "History of the Ming Dynasty": "The family background is extravagant, and everything is six dynasties." ”
In just eight words, many people are envious. And for Princess Baoqing, this is just one aspect of her lavish life.
Princess Baoqing is Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved daughter, after the change of dynasties, she not only did not suffer a tragic end, but was favored by each generation of emperors. This amazes the people.
But in any case, Princess Baoqing gained the favor of the entire five dynasties, broke the rules of the era of companions like tigers, and became a generation of female legends. Zhu Yuanzhang reigned for thirty years, but he directly annexed the territory of several generations of rulers of the Han Dynasty, and his military and political talents were unmatched.
But no matter how iron-blooded the ruler is, there is also a pure land in his heart. And Zhu Yuanzhang's life, except for Queen Ma, the wife of the dregs, the only tenderness is to give this woman the strange Princess Baoqing.
Princess Baoqing's biological mother Zhang Meiren is just a concubine in Zhu Yuanzhang's harem, without Zhu Yuanzhang's extreme favor and the support of her heirs, her life is not easy.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's later years, Zhang Meicai had the opportunity to become the queen, she was favored many times, and she was lucky to be pregnant with the heir to the throne. Zhang Meiren has never been so cautious as she is now, and she lives a life of fear all day long, just to give birth to a prince as soon as possible, and enjoy the honor of being a son and a mother.
But fate was cruel, and in the end she gave birth to only a little princess. Although this was Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter in his later years and was named "Princess Baoqing", Zhang Meiren was still disappointed.
However, this is her biological daughter, and Zhang Meiren still takes care of her with all her heart. Who would have thought that only a year has passed, but Princess Baoqing has become more and more cute.
Zhang Meiren likes it more and more, and she loves it more and more, and the original depression has long disappeared. However, for Zhu Yuanzhang, how can a young woman be compared with his great cause.
He was so immersed in his work every day that it was rare to be able to hear the princess's cry and take a look.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously ill, it was Princess Baoqing's words that changed his attitude. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is old and has children, he is old and should recuperate. However, he was always busy until he suddenly fell ill at the age of seventy-one.
For a person who is about to die, the pain is always acute and intense. After the imperial doctor left, the concubines and princes of the palace were accompanied by the bedside. Princess Baoqing, who was only three years old, began to feel nervous, she couldn't understand why everyone looked so serious, why her father was lying on the bed and couldn't move.
Zhu Yuanzhang gently called Princess Baoqing, she put down her wild thoughts, and walked quickly to the bed. Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill, he looked at Baoqing's innocent gaze, and his heart was irritable.
Zhu Yuanzhang teased Baoqing and asked her if she thought her illness could be cured. The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, and everyone knew that this was a risky question.
Even the three-year-old Princess Baoqing was put in danger. Zhang Meiren hid her trembling hands and looked at Baoqing nervously.
Princess Baoqing firmly believes that her father will **, and her small eyes reveal deep concern and love for her father. Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhang Meiren's face pale, and his heart was also full of deep worry.
He didn't let anyone bother him, he just hoped that his condition would be relieved. Although Princess Baoqing's prayers were not fulfilled, Zhu Yuanzhang found comfort and warmth in her love and care.
And Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di have also become models of pampering their younger sisters and younger siblings respectively.
Despite the difference in origin, even if Zhu Yunwen is already an adult, he still needs to call Baoqing "aunt". However, even with this kind of seniority constraint, Zhang Meiren and others did not dare to speculate on the emperor's thoughts.
And the intrigue in the palace is like a tiger's den in Longtan for a person of Princess Baoqing's age. In order to save her life, Zhang Meiren acted cautiously every day and did not dare to deviate from the norm in any way, so as not to offend the newly enthroned emperor.
Even so, without Zhu Yuanzhang's protection, they still felt like they were walking on thin ice. Not only everyone, but also the mother and daughter agreed that their lives would go on like this, without end.
However, life is always full of accidents, and what they didn't expect was that the similarity between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang was unexpected. Despite their generational differences, the age gap is insignificant here.
Zhu Yunwen not only loves Princess Baoqing as his own daughter, but also loves the two of them because of Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior before his death. This surprised everyone, but what surprised them even more was what happened next.
Zhu Di has a long-standing hatred for Zhu Yunwen, and this hatred has worsened over time. Soon after Princess Baoqing received the emperor's favor, their conflict broke out. The war was on the verge of breaking out, and the fighting was fierce.
It lasted until Princess Baoqing was eight years old, and Zhu Yunwen was defeated. Zhu Di's iron-blooded methods and resolute actions were shown in this matter, even surpassing his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
After successfully ascending the throne, in order to stabilize his position, he eliminated all Zhu Yunwen's supporters.
In the near future, Zhu Di became the first monarch in Chinese history to be accused of exterminating the Ten Tribes. Zhang Meiren sighed constantly after hearing the news: "This is so good, how can it be ......."Alas, why is my life so miserable.
If he is caught by Zhu Di, what will he do in his next life. Not only Zhang Meiren was scared, but even the palace maids in the palace were trembling. Zhu Di's brutal name is known to everyone.
Some parents even use his name to scare their children. And everyone knows that Zhu Yunwen loves Princess Baoqing very much, and Zhu Di's character is retribution, how can such a person be allowed to exist.
Every maidservant in the palace was worried about what happened to Princess Baoqing next. Sure enough, not long after, Zhu Di summoned the two of them.
When Zhu Di, the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, interrogated the prisoners, his eyes swept sharply over two women, one of whom was his sister Princess Baoqing, who had been favored for two generations and had extraordinary charm.
However, Zhu Di didn't know much about Baoqing's abilities, and when he saw Baoqing's face that was extremely similar to his, he was surprised to find that the innocence and curiosity in her eyes were something he had never seen before.
He told himself that a little girl would not pose a threat to him, but he let them go back anyway. However, after letting them go, Zhu Di felt remorse for his decision, what he didn't know, there were many things he regretted in the next life.
Princess Baoqing became Zhu Di's favorite sister madman, and when she got married, Zhu Gaochi personally escorted her, Zhu Di cared about everything, and even asked Queen Xu to treat Baoqing well. Under the love of everyone, Princess Baoqing is as beautiful as a flower, as the most favored princess, her life's events have naturally attracted much attention.
Not only did Zhu Di care, but the ministers also made suggestions, just to show their faces in front of the emperor. Finally, in the eleventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di found a handsome Zhao Hui in brocade clothes for Baoqing, who was born in Qingliu and can be called Baoqing's son-in-law.
Zhu Gaochi, you go and send the treasure bead to the Zhao family safely. The prince immediately prepared his horses and walked in front of the palanquin of the jewel. The crown prince personally escorted the princess to get married, which is already very rare.
And Zhu Gaochi violated his father's order for the first time and directly sent the jewel to the door of the Zhao family. When the news got out, the people were very excited. When Zhu Di heard the news, not only did he not get angry, but praised the prince's behavior.
There were even people who wrote these things down in their books for everyone to sing. The Zhao family's welcoming team saw the prince escorting him personally, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and hurriedly welcomed the jewel into the house.
For a wedding, they are as dedicated as work, and this rigorous attitude makes the Zhao family dare not slack off Princess Baoqing. Although the two dynasties have changed, the grand occasion of Princess Baoqing's marriage is still hotly talked about by the people.
But the escort of Baoqing when he got married has changed from the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to another identity. After Zhu Di's death, Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne and began to deal with all the affairs behind his father.
When he saw the items about Princess Baoqing, he remembered the days when he escorted her to get married. Although everyone saw the grand occasion, he saw Baoqing's nervousness as a woman.
On the day of the wedding, when he helped her out of the car at the door of Zhao's house, he noticed that her hands were trembling, but she still pretended to be calm.
Even at the time of separation, she offered him a string of Buddhist beads as a token of blessing. What woman is not nervous when it comes to getting married? Faced with an unknown environment and an unknown husband, even the royal princess is unable to avoid nervousness and fear.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the string of Buddhist beads, recalled his father's advice, and finally decided to promote Princess Baoqing to the eldest princess, enjoying unparalleled honors. After Baoqing, who was 100 miles away from the capital, heard the news, he couldn't help but smile.
She knew that this was Zhu Gaochi's fear that she would be bullied in her husband's family, so she specially sealed the title. Although the Zhao family is a Qingliu family, this Zhao Hui is precisely one of those few people.
On weekdays, he is uninhibited, and he always returns in vain. There is even a peculiar habit of believing that women's menstruation can prolong their lives.
The Records of Ming Xianzong recorded that although he was extravagant and indulgent, he lived a long time, and some people said that he had mastered the art of health preservation and liked to eat Yin Jin and moon blood. Even if Baoqing persuaded him, he was still not motivated, just a dou who couldn't be helped.
However, Zhu Gaochi's holy decree gave him a heart pill. But the good times didn't last long, and after a few days of reining in, he returned to his previous state, squandering almost half of Baoqing's dowry for entertainment.
After Zhu Gaochi's death, his son Zhu Zhanji ascended to the position of emperor. Is it a gene inherited from generation to generation by the Zhu family? Or did Zhu Zhanji follow his father's example? No one knows the truth.
The eldest princess of Baoqing, the daughter of Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong, is smart and enlightened by nature, and was once named the eldest princess of Baoqing, extremely noble, and no one dares to slack off in the slightest. However, she was bullied by Zhao Hui on the issue of marriage, and the heart disease that had accumulated in her heart eventually led to her depression.
Although Princess Baoqing's life was spent in the royal family of male superiority and intrigue, it was not easy for her to be favored and sealed by five generations of emperors from her father, uncle and nephew.
