At the end of the last century, there was an interesting topic in the Hong Kong literary scene: about the boundary between Chinese literature and martial arts.
This happened in 1955, when Mr. Jin Yong published one of his full-length martial arts ** "Book of Swords and Enmity". In this work, Emperor Qianlong gave Chen Jialuo a piece of jade, which was engraved with a line of words with clear handwriting: "Love is deep and longevity, wisdom will be hurt, humble gentleman, gentle as jade." By the end of the last century, Mr. Jin Yong had become famous, and many people liked this sentence, but they didn't know the ** of this sentence.
Philosophy in ancient books: Looking for wisdom from the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucius and Mencius Laozhuang, I found it"A humble gentleman"with"Warm as jade", but could not be found"Love is deep and longevity, and wisdom will hurt"provenance.
This phrase is considered to be"The dilemma between Chinese and martial arts"。In fact, Mr. Jin Yong's creations are also classics of Chinese language, and his works contain rich language and art.
Because of this,"Love is deep and longevity, and wisdom will hurt"These 8 words became famous. These 8 words are used to describe the emotions that are too devoted and too affectionate often do not last long, and if they are too smart, it is easy to experience the heat and coldness of the world, and it is easy to hurt the body.
However, the author believes that these 8 words are very appropriate to describe Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Jianshen, formerly known as Zhu Jianshen, was later changed to Zhu Jianshen. According to the "Records of Xianzong", his original name was "Jianshen", and it was only later that it was changed to "Jianwei".
It is rumored that Ming Yingzong was too confused on the day of the restoration, and in a hurry mistakenly wrote his son's former name on the holy decree.
Ming Yingzong remembered the name of the hero in a short time, which will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of history.
Zhu Jianshen was made crown prince when he was 3 years old, but his father was still a prisoner. It may not be clear to him what it means to be a crown prince, as the loss of his father is probably the saddest thing at that age.
After that, Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian defeated Warat in the defense of the capital, and Warat returned Zhu Qizhen. However, Zhu Qiyu has already sat on the throne and is unwilling to give up.
So, he locked his brother in Nangong for 7 years. The throne has extraordinary magic, and Zhu Qiyu put his brother under house arrest because he was afraid that Zhu Qizhen would take back the throne. At the same time, Zhu Qiyu has another thing on his mind, that is, his nephew has occupied the position of the crown prince.
Zhu Qiyu's attitude towards Zhu Jianshen was not friendly, although Empress Dowager Sun tried her best to protect him, Zhu Jianshen did not feel the love of his uncle, but the people around him were monitoring him.
However, during this time, Zhu Jianshen met the woman he loved most in his life - the palace maid Wan Zhen'er. Remember this character, and she will be mentioned next. According to the record of "Shuyuan Miscellaneous", one day, Zhu Qiyu asked the eunuch Jin Ying next to him: "Is the prince's birthday the second day of the seventh month?" Jin Ying replied: "Your Majesty, the crown prince's birthday is the second day of the first month of November. Zhu Qiyu's meaning is obvious, he is tempting. In the third year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu finally decided to abolish Zhu Jianshen and set up his son Zhu Jianji as the crown prince.
At that time, Zhu Jianshen was only five years old and had not made any major mistakes, but he was crowned with the title of "Waste Prince". Zhu Qiyu's queen Wang was dissatisfied with this and spoke out to resist, but Zhu Qiyu abolished the queen's position and entered the cold palace.
Abolished Prince"'s fate is always full of horror, but if it is a non-biological child, the consequences will be even more tragic. The warning of history makes people feel deeply vigilant.
For example, after Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, the two sons of his brother Zhao Kuangyin died or committed suicide one after another, which is deeply tragic. As long as you live, you have a chance to turn the tables.
The blow of Zhu Jianshen's demotion from the crown prince to the child of the clan was extremely cruel for a 5-year-old child. However, Zhu Qiyu sent away the palace maids and eunuchs around Zhu Jianshen one by one, leaving only a palace maid named Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er is the daughter of a criminal minister, but under the protection of the Empress Dowager Sun, she is already very lucky to be able to enter the palace to serve the prince. At the time, she was 20 years old and he was 3 years old.
Two years later, Zhu Jianshen was deposed, but Wan Zhen'er did not give up, she held the mentality of gambling and stayed by Zhu Jianshen's side alone.
When Zhu Jianshen was facing a low point in his life, his mother-in-law and biological mother were not around, and only his grandmother Empress Dowager Sun and palace maid Wan Zhen'er accompanied him. In order to protect Zhu Jianshen, Empress Dowager Sun had reservations about his emotional outpouring.
However, it was this relationship with Wan Zhen'er that made Zhu Jianshen have special feelings for her. Psychologist Sigmund Freud's research shows that 3-6 years old is the period when children are prone to mother-love complexes, which may explain why Zhu Jianshen has such deep feelings for Wan Zhen'er.
After Zhu Jianshen was deposed, his personality became very withdrawn, and he even suffered from stuttering. This unique experience made him look down on the hot and cold world, and his heart seemed to be dead at a young age.
However, Wan Zhen'er, as the daughter of a criminal minister, has experienced hardships and knows how to persevere in loneliness. She not only took care of Zhu Jianshen meticulously, but also instilled in him the idea of perseverance.
Under the care and influence of Wan Zhen'er, Zhu Jianshen passed through those difficult years.
In the fifties of the fourteenth century, the supreme ruler of the Ming Empire, Zhu Qiyu, fell seriously ill, which made the future of the empire ambiguous. Since his son had died, the question of the succession of the Ming dynasty was complicated.
At this critical moment, the courtiers put forward a proposal to re-establish Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince, but Zhu Qiyu was resolutely opposed. In the early morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, some speculators, led by Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen, forcibly opened the gate of Nangong and helped Zhu Qizhen regain the throne, which is the famous "change of seizing the door" in history.
This coup d'état did not have any positive impact on the history of the Ming Dynasty, because even without this coup, the throne would eventually return to the Zhu Qizhen family. However, it was precisely because of this coup d'état that the great hero Yu Qian was unfortunately killed.
Zhu Qizhen announced that Zhu Jianshen was the crown prince after the coup, but in a hurry, he wrote "Zhu Jianwei" in the edict, which caused an oolong. Zhu Jianshen regained the position of crown prince, only 11 years old, and his introverted personality was even a little timid.
However, behind him, there is a woman named Wan Zhen'er, 28 years old, who is deeply attracted to Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen saw his deep affection for Wan Zhen'er in Zhu Jianshen's eyes, so when Zhu Jianshen became an adult, he began the process of choosing a concubine for his son.
Although Zhu Jianshen wanted Wan Zhen'er to become his concubine, in that hierarchical era, it was almost impossible to make a palace maid a princess. The Ming Dynasty has always been very strict with the selection of the crown princess, because if nothing else, the crown princess is the future queen.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty set the tone of "commoner queen" from the time of Renzong, and selected a woman with a solid family background but not a strong background to serve as the crown princess. After Zhu Qizhen's careful selection, he finally chose the Wu family, the daughter of the commander Wu Jun.
However, Zhu Qizhen was unable to witness his son's wedding with his own eyes because his body had collapsed during his time under house arrest in Nangong. In the eighth year of Tianshun, Zhu Qizhen died at the age of 38.
The crown prince Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne and became Ming Xianzong.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to fulfill the last wish of Ming Yingzong, the Empress Dowager Sun, the Empress Dowager Qian and the Zhou chose to marry Zhu Jianshen in the year of the great mourning, marry Wu into the palace, and canonize as the queen.
After Wu was named queen, he angrily beat the palace maid because he found out that Zhu Jianshen was having an affair with a palace maid. However, her impulsive behavior was not forgiven by Zhu Jianshen, and he insisted on abolishing Empress Wu and making his beloved Wan Zhen'er his queen.
Although there are many empresses who have been deposed in Chinese history, there is only one empress who has been deposed for beating a court maid. After the abolition of Empress Wu, although Empress Wang was canonized as the queen, she did not dare to provoke Wan Zhen'er, but only enjoyed the glory on the surface, because she did not get Zhu Jianshen's heart.
This kind of sourness is probably not what a queen should have.
Wan Zhen'er, the favorite concubine of Ming Xianzong, is close to her age but has no heirs. Although her love is deep and sincere, her methods are cruel and ruthless. She did whatever it took to prevent other women in her harem from getting pregnant, and was even called a "fetal killer".
Her favored harem brings privilege and blood, which not only violates the true meaning of love, but also violates the basic morality of being a human being. We should respect and love everyone, whether they are empowered and favored or not.
Zhu Jianshen loves Wan Guifei, and even if she kills his children many times, he can't resist her charm. This is perhaps the biggest tragedy in Ming Xianzong's harem, because of pampering and indulgence, you can only watch the tragedy happen.
However, when Concubine Wan Guifei died in the first month of the twenty-third year of Chenghua (1487 AD), Zhu Jianshen was deeply grief-stricken, and even said: "If the chief Wan goes, I will go too!" It seems that Wan Zhen'er's death made him lose the meaning of life. Shockingly, just seven months later, Zhu Jianshen died of depression at the age of 41.
The death of Wan Zhen'er and Zhu Jianshen seems to indicate the fate of "deep love is not long, and wisdom will be hurt". In general, the love story of Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er is full of joys and sorrows, although their ending is not good, but their love has deeply moved the world.
Zhu Jianshen's childhood was very difficult, and he experienced the heat and coldness of the world too early, which made him see many things very thoroughly. His love for Wan Zhen'er is affectionate and strong, but this love is not destined to last long.
After all, time is unforgiving, and the passing of four years is as unfathomable as the sea. Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was already 29 years old in the eleventh year of Chenghua (1475), and he loved Wan Guifei deeply, but at the same time he was troubled by the problem of his own heirs.
He sat in front of the mirror, his heart full of worry. He thought: If he doesn't even have a son, how can he pass on the Daming Temple? At this time, a eunuch named Zhang Min suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, he said: "The old slave knows that the emperor still has a son!" Zhu Jianshen was taken aback and hurriedly asked for details. It turned out that seven years ago, Zhu Jianshen had pampered a beautiful palace maid surnamed Ji, and later this palace maid became pregnant, and Concubine Wan Guifei was very annoyed by this, so she sent the palace maid into the cold palace.
In the cold palace, the palace girl gives birth to a baby boy. When Concubine Wan learned about it, she hurriedly sent the eunuch Zhang Min to drown the child. Zhang Min had good intentions and hid the child, and later handed it over to the deposed Empress Wu to raise secretly, successfully fooling Wan Guifei.
Zhu Jianshen immediately asked someone to bring the child over, this child was six years old and looked very similar to Zhu Jianshen. Zhu Jianshen hugged the child, remembering the dark years when he was a child, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Zhu Jianshen was open-minded, he knew that Yu Qian had helped Zhu Qiyu take away Zhu Qizhen's throne, but he thought that Yu Qian was meritorious to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he decided to rehabilitate Yu Qian.
The first emperor knew that he was in vain, and I really pitied his loyalty. He decided to give the child a name in front of the world, named the child Zhu Youji, and canonized him as the crown prince, Zhu Youzhu is the Ming filial piety sect who later created "Hongzhi Zhongxing".
After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he decided to reduce the taxes of the people for three years, and changed the strategy of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the Jingxiang exiles, and changed the suppression to resettlement, and solved this problem once and for all.
Zhu Jianshen continued to use troops in Guangxi, Mongolia and Northeast China, completely washed away the shame of his father's "Tumubao Change", in terms of military achievements, he may not be as good as Taizu and Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, but he made great contributions to maintaining the order around the Ming Dynasty, and also laid the foundation for the next "Hongzhi Zhongxing".
The greatest thing about Zhu Jianshen is that he can solve the historical problems of the Ming Dynasty and alleviate internal contradictions. He gave Yu Qian and his second uncle Zhu Qiyu the correct name, and also laid a solid foundation for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Qiyu once seized the throne of Zhu Qizhen and placed him under house arrest for 7 years, while abolishing Zhu Jianshen's position as crown prince. After Zhu Qizhen was reinstated, he hated Zhu Qiyu very much, refused to admit that he had ever been the emperor, and gave him the nickname "戾".
But Zhu Jianshen did not hold a grudge against the second uncle, but repaid the grievances with virtue, restored Zhu Qiyu's emperor title, and posthumously named him Emperor Jing. In my opinion, Zhu Qiyu's contribution to the Ming Dynasty is greater than his negligence.
If you talk about the ability to govern, Zhu Qiyu may be stronger than Zhu Qizhen. However, because Zhu Qiyu first abolished Zhu Jianshen's position as the crown prince, and later had no heirs, the Ming Dynasty throne returned to Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Jianshen restored the emperor's title for Zhu Qiyu, showing his broad-mindedness and acceptance of Baichuan. Empress Dowager Qian was Zhu Jianshen's mother-in-law, and when she died, Empress Dowager Zhou (Zhu Jianshen's biological mother) did not allow her to be buried with the first emperor (Zhu Qizhen) because she wanted to take her place.
Emperor Xianzong was honored by Emperor Jing, sympathetic to the grievances of humility, showing the bearing of the monarch. At that time, the society was ...... stableTax reduction and punishment reduction, the people are getting richer and richer, and the rule of benevolence and Xuanzhi is re-emerging here. Although Zhu Jianshen is controversial in history, his mind is unmatched, and he is not even lost to Zhu Gaochi of Akihito. Finally, let's end with a painting by Zhu Jianshen, which is called "A Mass of Harmony", which at first glance looks like a round ball, but in fact it is a scene of three people hugging each other tightly.
Zhu Jianshen's style is known as a masterpiece of ancient "comics", and one of the images of a group of harmonious people is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
