On February 28, 1469, voices of grief were heard in the Forbidden City, located in the heart of Beijing. The imperial concubine Wei died on this day at the age of 44. Wei was born in 1426 in the first year of Xuande, and her family lived in Pizhou, Nanzhili.

In 1442, at the age of 17, Wei was elected to Yingzong's harem. Wei has a gentle temperament, so he is highly respected by the harem concubines. Therefore, when Ming Yingzong returned to the throne in 1457, he canonized her as Concubine De, ranking among the top concubines.

However, her death was not simply given a two-character nickname, but was given the noble four-character nickname "Gong Zhuang Duanhui".

The ninth son of Ming Yingzong, who is also the youngest son, the son of Concubine Wei De, Zhu Jianpei, was canonized as King Hui. Two years after his birth, his father died, and the matter of knighthood was pressed on the eldest brother Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen.

On July 12 of the second year of Chenghua (1466), 5-year-old Zhu Jianpei was enshrined together with his starling brother Zhu Jianzhi, and he was canonized as King Hui by his eldest brother Ming Xianzong. "Ming Shilu" describes his identity as "the sixth brother of the emperor", this is because Zhu Jianxiang, the third son of Ming Yingzong, died in the second year of Jingtai (1451) at the age of 3; The fourth son, Zhu Jianchun, was named King Xu in May of the third year of Jingtai, and died in the same year, only 3 years old; Therefore, the two are not counted in the ranking.

This ceremony announced the official start of the establishment of the Huiwang Mansion after Zhu Jianpei. In August 1474, Ming Xianzong promoted Jinshi Li Xian and Dong Yi to be reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, instructors Wang Yan and Zhou Ding were edicted, and supervisors Yan Liangneng and Jin Hui were appointed as Zhongshu scholars, and they were responsible for teaching Zhu Jianpei to read and learn characters.

After several years of preparation, the 16-year-old Zhu Jianpei officially left the palace in August 1477. The Hanlin Academy reviewed that Li Xian and Dong Yi were appointed as the left and right Changshi of the Huiwang Mansion respectively, and the rest of the people were also appointed, and they were accompanied by 25 companions, professors, classics and the following.

Princess Hui chose the daughter of Huang Yu, the commander of Shen Cewei, and after Zhu Jianpei left the house, the marriage began to go through the process in full swing. However, at the critical moment when the wedding was approaching, Huang Yu actually ran back to his hometown of Xiuning County, Huizhou Prefecture, to sweep the tomb, which made the Ministry of Rites a headache.

Fortunately, the princess-to-be's uncle Huang Sheng and brother Huang Zhong were in Beijing, so in November of that year, as the day of recruitment and issuance of the book was approaching, the Ministry of Rites urgently proposed an alternative plan, once Huang Yu could not return, the relatives would perform the etiquette on their behalf, and the candidate asked the emperor to choose one of Huang Sheng and Huang Zhong.

In the end, Ming Xianzong chose Huang Sheng. On the fourth day of March in 1481, the 20-year-old Hui King Zhu Jianpei and the princess Huang officially entered Junzhou.

Jun porcelain has a long history, "Historical Records of Xia Benji" recorded "Yu Juyang City, Qidu Yangzhai" are all in the territory, and the name of the state is also from the "Juntai" of Xia Houqi. Junzhou has a "Jun" character artifact famous all over the world, well-known overseas, it is one of the five famous porcelain of the Song Dynasty Jun porcelain, and Junzhou is the location of Jun kiln.

Wuqing Yongding River Ancient Road National Wetland Park not only cares about my sister, but also takes care of my mother's uncle's family. Zhu Jianpei's grandfather Wei Zhong was awarded the command of the Jinyi Guard and the Commander of the Jinyi Guard because of his daughter, and was promoted to the commander of the lineage of the Jinyi Guard, and after his death, the official position was inherited by the elder line, but Zhu Jianpei's second uncle Wei Ang did nothing.

Zhu Jianpei is also very good to the people around him, in the first month of the seventeenth year of Chenghua, he asked Dong Yi, the left chief of the Hui Palace, and Yan Liang, the right chief of the Hui Palace, to enjoy the four grades of the palace.

Zhu Jianpei's emphasis on family affection was reflected in his preferential treatment of Li Huanzheng, the lieutenant of the palace, although Li Huanzheng and others beat innocent people to death at the instigation of Li You, he still interceded for Li Huanzheng and others.

Zhu Jianpei's preferential treatment of the people around him also made his brother Ming Xianzong praise him, although Zhu Jianpei's younger brother Li You and Wang Changshi were fined for two months, they still received Zhu Jianpei's tolerance and care.

Xu Ke, the political envoy of Henan Zuobu, was good at reforming the government and serving the officials, and asked for punishment. 'On the "ancestral teachings" and all the duties and responsibilities have no respect for the priests, Yishu to the king and the kings to know, the officials ordered the reform according to the routine, said that Xu Ke is easy to deal with, and he will be suspended for two months. ”

Ming Xiaozong Record) was keen to ask for favors all his life Zhu Jianpei was very affectionate, and he was quite good to the people around him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a calf protector, but he himself had few bad deeds, and the only case that was recorded occurred in the Hongzhi period.

In April of the fifth year of Hongzhi (1492), Gong Tianxi, Jishan of the Huiwang Mansion, said to the imperial court that there were as many as 21 things that the government did not comply with the constitution of the ancestors, and asked the imperial court to send personnel to deal with it.

Ming Xiaozong attached great importance to this, and immediately sent the eunuch Li Rong and the concubine Zhou Jing to deal with it. Judging from the results, although Gong Tianxi made false accusations, it is an indisputable fact that Zhu Jianpei violated Zu Xian, but fortunately, the crime was not big, so he was only asked to reform and rehabilitate himself.

Zhu Jianpei asked the imperial court to allocate the Shaolin Temple and the surrounding fields to the Huiwang Mansion, but because the Shaolin Temple was not in the seal of the Huiwang Mansion and there were many military and civilian tax lands, the imperial court rejected his request.

In the second year of Hongzhi (1489), Zhu Jianpei submitted a concert, requesting that the uncultivated land in Guide and other prefectures be granted, and there were more than 7,300 hectares in Luyi County alone, so it was estimated that the total area may exceed 10,000 hectares.

Ming Xiaozong received a letter and ordered the household department to send personnel to conduct field investigations with the governor of Henan and the governor to determine whether the land was uncultivated.

After Zhu Jianpei, the king of Hui, became a vassal domain, he originally received 10,000 stone of rice grain. However, in the sixth year of Hongzhi, he actually asked the imperial court to convert part of the rice grain into **. He was not out of helpfulness or sympathy for the imperial court, but hoped to convert 5,000 stone of grain into 2,250 taels of **.

This was already a huge amount of money in the middle and early Ming Dynasty. In the early years of Hongzhi, Wang Shu was named one of the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi" because he criticized Zhu Jianpei for competing with the people for profit. Ma Wensheng is Wang Shu's fellow countryman, and it stands to reason that Zhu Jianpei should have a good relationship with him, but he didn't.

Ma Wensheng is a capable and temperamental **, he was once thrown into prison for challenging the eunuch Wang Zhi during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Ming Xiaozong, his military performance was average, but Ma Wensheng was very talented in military affairs, he once quelled the Guyuan bandits, and defeated the invading Tatars.

In the process of reorganizing armaments, some generals and colonels who were lay experts in foreign wars and infighting were deposed. After these people were deposed, they began to stir up trouble, some wrote books and slandered, and some people guarded the door of Ma Wensheng's house at night with bows and arrows ready to assassinate.

In order to protect Ma Wensheng, Ming Xiaozong sent twelve Jinwu knights to protect him in order to promote the rectification of the Beijing camp. may be due to Ma Wensheng's character, he has no good impression of Zhu Jianpei, the greedy vassal king.

And Zhu Jianpei is not interested in Ma Wensheng because of this. In the tenth year of Hongzhi, Zhu Jianpei reported Ma Wensheng's son Ma Juyu in the township, and even instigated his family to kill innocent civilians.

After being examined by the judicial department, Ma Jue was sentenced to death by hanging. Ma Wensheng should also take the blame and resign.

During the reign of Ming Xiaozong, Ma Wensheng assisted the military with a bust and made great contributions. However, he was robbed of his favor by the emperor because he needed to go home to Ding Wei, and he was only given a three-month vacation.

Later, his son Ma Jue was convicted by the law department because of King Hui's report, but Ming Xiaozong pardoned Ma Jue's capital crime and let Ma Shangshu take charge of the army with peace of mind. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi (1502), Ma Wensheng once again made a request for Zhishi, which turned out to be because his nephew Ma Tianlu had agreed on a marriage with someone and was intervened by Zhu Jianpei, the king of Hui, and he was chosen as his son-in-law.

Zhu Jianpei is the royal son-in-law in the early Ming Dynasty, and the family cannot be an official in the court, if Ma Tianlu becomes the royal son-in-law, Ma Wensheng needs to be a minister. Ming Xiaozong was speechless about this, but he still announced that the election of honor guests was invalid, and he personally kept Ma Wensheng, so that the situation could be calmed down.

Despite this, Ma Wensheng still insisted on Zhishi and successfully retired.

Although Zhu Jianpei, the king of Huizhuang of the Junzhou Confucian Temple, was keen to ask for favors during his lifetime and was regarded as a typical representative of the greed of the clan, he was not at fault and once offered advice to the imperial court.

In August of the 15th year of Hongzhi (1502), he suggested that the royal guests should be sent to the local Confucian school to study and study etiquette, so as to cultivate their virtues. This suggestion was adopted by the imperial court, but the age was adjusted to be under twenty-five.
