Why are Ming Xianzong's children second only to Zhu Yuanzhang and others attached to Wan Guifei?

Wan Guifei may have been hacked by Ming and Qing literati.

First of all, according to the Ming History, Wan Guifei was a psychopath. He had no children, so he forced his pregnant concubine in the harem to have an abortion, which left Ming Xianzong childless for a long time.

When Wan Guifei was spoiled and jealous, all the pregnant women in the harem recovered from abortion. Princess Bai was born to mourn Prince Gong, and she was also hurt.

However, according to the Records of Ming Xianzong, when Wan Guifei was alive, the official impeached her many times, but listed a lot.

However, in the impeachment of the official, there was no mention of "jealousy and killing the heir".

You know, "A Record of Ming Xianzong" was written by people during the reign of Xiaozong in the Ming Dynasty.

It's already an era of filial piety, and you're worried about revenge when you expose Wan Guifei's background? No

If Wan Guifei is really the captain of abortion, Xian Zong's memoirs can't be completely unrecorded.

So,

That is to say. There is no denying that Wan Guifei is indeed a narrow-minded person. Women want their men to spoil them. But to say that she forced other concubines to have abortions is to discredit them. She's just narrow-minded, not a pervert.

Second, six years ago, Ming Xianzong had only three sons. A big reason is that Xianzong had only three queens at that time.

One is Wan Guifei, the favourite of Xianzong, and the other two are the Queen and Princess Baixian appointed by Ming Yingzong before his death.

In fact, there is also a Wu Huanghou, who was also the concubine appointed by Ming Yingzong for Xianzong before his death. However, after only one month as queen, Wu Huanghou was put in the cold by Ming Xianzong.

Four years ago, Wan Guifei was the only one in Xian Zong's life. However, after giving birth to a son, Wan Guifei was too old to have children.

Therefore, during this period, Xianzong only had one son.

In the fourth year of Chenghua, Manchu civil servants were worried about the son of Xianzong. Xian zong was lucky to have Bai Xianfei in order to block everyone's mouth. Bai Xianfei was also disappointed. The following year, she gave birth to Tang Xianzong's second son, which was a tribute to Prince Zhu Ji.

In the fifth year of Chenghua, Ming Xianzong happened to be lucky when she was a female Shi Ji, so Ming Xiaozong was born in the following year.

Now many people say that Ming Xianzong is a steward and a group of concubines in the harem are unlucky. They fell asleep when they saw a female official.

This is really wronged Ming Xianzong. Because after five years of Chenghua, there are still only three queens in Daming harem.

One is the queen that Ming Xianzong doesn't want to touch.

One is Wan Guifei, who can't have children.

The other is Bai Xianfei, who is in confinement.

There is no one in the harem, so Xianzong naturally wants to find a female official to have children.

Pay attention here. When Ming Xiaozong was born, his second brother Zhu Ji was still alive.

Therefore, it is obviously wrong and illogical for Shi Ming to say that Wan Guifei was jealous of killing his heir and focused on persecuting the mother of Xiao Zong, Ji Shi, because he was worried that Ji Shi would give birth to a prince and affect his position.

If I were Wan Guifei, I would give priority to killing Zhu Ji. After all, the child has become a prince. Ji was just pregnant at that time, and no one knew whether it was a boy or a girl.

After Xiaozong was born, he was made a prince. I don't know why Xianzong has no son.

But interestingly, the fourth son of Xianzong, that is, Xing's mother Zhu _ _, had a low status before giving birth to Zhu _ _ _. It was not until Zhu was born that she was named.

In addition, Zhu Penang and Zhu's mother zhang defa; Zhu and Zhu Kai's mother Yang. This is one thing.

They were originally maids or concubines with low status, and were promoted to concubines after giving birth to the prince.

It is said that there are few serious concubines in the harem of Ming Xianzong in the middle and early period. The reason why Xianzong didn't accept concubines was probably because he loved Wan Guifei so much that he wanted the woman he liked to have children for himself.

Until Xianzong was 30 years old, when he met Wan Guifei, he was 47 years old and could not bear children. Only then did he change his mind. For the sake of the Ming dynasty, he began to take chances with other women and gave birth to 1 1 sons one after another.

Third. According to Ming History, Wan Guifei instructed Sharla Cheung to kill the unborn Ming Xiaozong. However, Sharla Cheung did not kill Filial Piety according to Wan Guifei's imperial edict, but hid Filial Piety in the palace to support him without telling Xianzong and Wan Guifei. Until one day, when he saw Xian Zong lamenting that he was too old to have children, he told the whole story of Xiao Zong.

When Xian Zong met Xiao Zong, he said that the child was like me. Not surprisingly, he directly recognized his son.

Wearing a robe, I rode a horse in a narrow space, rushed to the next step, spread my hair on the ground and walked to the emperor's arms. The emperor put it on his knee and stroked it for a long time. He cried with sadness and joy and said, "My son is like me."

In other words, the son whom I haven't seen for six years was directly recognized by Xianzong. The basis is that Xian Zong thinks Xiao Zong looks like himself.

However, as long as you look at the portraits of Xian Zong and Xiao Zong, you can find that the father and son are nothing like each other.

Ming Yingzong and Ming Xianzong are biological father and son at first sight.

But Ming Xianzong and Ming Xianzong look nothing alike.

Since it doesn't look like it, the statement in the history of Ming dynasty is not valid.

So, "Ming History"

The real reason that Xian Zong thinks Xiao Zong is his son is that Xian Zong knew the existence of Xiao Zong from the beginning.

There are many historical materials to prove this argument.

Such as the draft of the letter to the merchant;

For example, Yin Zhi's Biography of Zhai Zhai Suo;

There is also Chen Hongmo's Managing the World.

During the Chenghua period, Emperor Congji was lucky to be pregnant. Wan Guifei felt sorry for himself, but he was in pain. Xiandian is Tommy's disease. After leaving the comfort hall, under the care of the door officials, it is the rest of the story of governing the world.

Xianzong knew the news when Xiaozong was still in the womb.

Only when Xianzong heard that Wan Guifei was jealous, he put him in a comfort station on the grounds that he was ill at Ji Shi, which made Wan Guifei out of sight, out of mind.

In the following years, from the birth of Xiaozong to the age of six, the confidant of the constitutional Sect took care of Xiaozong and Jishi around the clock.

Since I was born as a man, and I was ordered to serve my near ministers, I would like to protect it-Governing the Remains of the World.

Until Sharla Cheung told Wan Guifei the truth of filial piety. In addition, Ganqingmen caught fire, and Xianzong thought it was God's retribution for hiding his son, so he generously took Xiaozong and Jishi back to the palace.

And Wan Guifei know things, also blame xian zong, said how can you just hide from me?

In order to show sincerity, Wan Guifei received Xiaozong and Jishi with great courtesy.

Note that, as mentioned earlier, Queen Wang is a decoration, and Xianzong is a special pet. At this time, Wan Guifei was actually the second person in the harem after the Empress Dowager Zhou. Therefore, don't underestimate her courtesy to Ji and Xiao Zong.

Because this is equivalent to the real queen of the harem, she accepted the mother and son of Ji surname and Xiaozong. Very iconic.

In fact, eunuch Sharla Cheung married eunuch Duan Ying of the imperial concubine's main palace. When she occupied the room, the imperial concubine was shocked: "Why didn't I know?" So I took clothes to congratulate mother and son Ji and invited them into the palace on an auspicious day-"Zhai Suo Bian Lu"

After Xiaozong returned to the palace, there are two points to pay attention to.

The first is the relationship between Wan Guifei and Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty.

According to the Ming History, the Empress Dowager Zhou did not allow Wan Guifei to approach Xiao Zong for fear that her grandson would be killed. So their relationship is very general.

However, according to the first-hand historical records at that time, Wan Guifei was the person in charge of raising Xiaozong after he was taken back to the palace. Not Queen Zhou.

The evidence is a monument to Shang Lu.

Your highness's hands-on parenting, diligent protection, kindness and kindness are all important. Officials at home and abroad and scholars in Beijing have all heard about it and praised it. They think that the virtue of your wife is unparalleled in modern times, and this sincere clan society has no boundaries. However, it is said that the prince's mother lives in another house because of illness, which has not been seen for a long time. The person who photographed the body was sincere. Looking down on the emperor _ living nearby, the prince also bothered the imperial concubine to support him and let him meet easily in the morning and evening. -"Business Draft"

The simple translation of this paper is that Wan Guifei raised Xiao Zong as his own son. When everyone knew about it, they all praised Wan Guifei. However, Xiao Zong's mother was in poor health. Everyone hopes that the emperor can put the Ji closer to Xiaozong, so that Xiaozong can fulfill his filial piety.

The relationship between Ming Xiaozong and Wan Guifei may not be very good, but they are definitely not enemies.

The second is the cause of death.

As we all know, shortly after Xiaozong and Jishi returned to the palace, Jishi died of illness.

According to Ming History, Wan Guifei killed Jishi.

But both Lu Shang and Yin Zhi knew that Ji was in poor health, and they all speculated that Ji might die soon.

This shows that many people have long known about Ji's illness. Not only people in the palace know it, but also foreign officials know it. It's no secret.

If Xiao Wen's mother was really killed by Wan Guifei, can it be covered up?

Are those foreign officials really going to spray Wan Guifei to death?

But in fact, no one impeached Wan Guifei from Xianzong because of Ji's death.

Including Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty who succeeded to the throne, did not blame Wan Guifei for his mother's death.

By the way, Shang Lu was the cabinet record of Xianzong period, Yin Zhi was the minister of war in Xianzong period, and Chen Hongmo was the governor of Jiangxi in Wuzong period. Chen Hongmo is a little younger. I should have heard of what happened during Chenghua years. But both Lu Shang and Yin Zhi were witnesses in Chenghua period. The information they left is credible.

Fourthly, according to Ming History, eunuch Sharla Cheung committed suicide by swallowing gold under the coercion of Wan Guifei after revealing the secret of filial piety to Xianzong.

However, in the historical materials of Yin Zhi and Chen Hongmo, Sharla Cheung has nothing to do with supporting filial piety. In the whole incident, Sharla Cheung only told Wan Guifei that Xiao Zong was still alive.

The historical records of this aspect have been listed before, so I won't repeat them here.

From this perspective, Sharla Cheung is not only a thorn in Wan Guifei's side.

On the contrary, he should still be Wan Guifei's favorite.

According to the Records of Jinmen County, Fujian Province, the year of Sharla Cheung's death was 1485, which was about 9 years later than that recorded in Ming History.

Twenty-one years, sensitive disease, the emperor sent a doctor too much to see. Obituary, earthquake funeral, sent Li Si, Ma Yu two prison funeral, give treasure, crown, tooth card, jade belt twenty thousand; Sacrifice two altars, the abbot provides grain and hemp, and the Ministry of Industry builds a grave —— Biography of Jinmen Zhi Sharla Cheung

This can also prove from the side that Sharla Cheung should not be a thorn in Wan Fei's side. He never saved Ming Xiaozong when he was a child.

The real Sharla Cheung in history may be a swing, trying to please Wan Guifei by hook or by crook.

Because Wan Guifei didn't kill Sharla Cheung. Wan Guifei was obviously splashed with dirty water by Mingshi.

What is worth mentioning is Ming History.

In Wan Guifei's biography, he died in the eleventh year of Chenghua.

However, it is recorded in Biography of Famous Minister Yang Jizong that in the 13th year of Chenghua, Sharla Cheung framed Yang Jizong and was scolded by Ming Xianzong.

No.1 and Zhang Qing's officials. Brother Qing Min was killed in front of the emperor every time in Li Si. The emperor said, "Is it that Yang Jizong didn't give a penny?" Min was shocked, and the suicide note celebrated: "If you meet him well, you will know him in the world." -"Biography of Yang Jizong in Ming Dynasty"

Were there two Sharla Cheung? Not exactly. Sharla Cheung in Ming Dynasty and Sharla Cheung in Jia Zhai Zuo Zhuan were both great eunuchs. Not a small role. Many stories still overlap. This means that there was only one eunuch named Sharla Cheung during the Chenghua period.

Then, as an official history, why did the Ming history have such obvious low-level mistakes?

As we all know, the history of Ming Dynasty was not compiled by one person.

The official who compiled The History of the Ming Dynasty Empresses was Mao Qiling. The person who wrote the minister's biography is another person.

It is very likely that these Qing historians are only responsible for their own parts in the process of compiling history, and they have not compared each other. So there is a conflict in content.

Fifth,

The filial piety temple is also the birthday of the Qing emperor. When Wan Guifei found favor in the queen's court, all the pregnant people in the court were abandoned by all parties. The filial mother, the empress dowager, served the imperial secretary and was pregnant. The imperial concubine made the doctor fall, but she couldn't get off the stage. She is a secluded Western Palace, and the report says, "I have fallen." I don't know in the world. -"Gu Shan Pen Dust"

Therefore, during the Wanli period, the university students of Dongge held a high position in North Korea. But after all, he was a man of Wanli period, not a witness of Chenghua dynasty.

Therefore, compared with Yin Zhi's ZhaiSuolu, Gu Shan's Blowing Dust is not very credible.

It is precisely because the credibility is not high. Therefore, at the end of the article, Yu also specially emphasized-"In Wanli, an old China official said this."

I heard this from an old eunuch in the palace. I don't know if it's true or not.

Speaking of which, the records about Wan Guifei in the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty are very clear.

Generally can be divided into two categories:

First, the Chenghua people represented by Yin Zhi recorded that Wan Guifei was narrow-minded, but it was not.

Second, the people in Wanli and Chongzhen years of Ming Dynasty thought they were representatives. Wan Guifei not only said that she was narrow-minded, but also said that she was jealous and killed her own child, and her psychology was extremely abnormal.

Of these two historical materials, the Ming people actually believed the former more.

For example, Shen Defu, who wrote Wan Bei Bian, once said: "In the early years, the old and middle class didn't know that the rumors in the official temple were wrong, even worse than Qidong. It is the most ridiculous thing to tell the story of the Chao family to every generation. "

Those old eunuchs in the palace love to make up stories about the affairs of previous dynasties, and nine out of ten sentences are false.

But somehow, in the process of compiling the History of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Qiling included Yu's records and ignored the records of other witnesses. Moreover, Mao Qiling also erased the "disclaimer" in the original text.

Yu's emphasis on "I heard it, too" directly became the official history. Influenced later people.

As for the records about Wan Guifei in Ming History, some people say that the Qing Dynasty deliberately discredited the Ming Dynasty.

However, Emperor Qianlong read the Ming history.

Gan Long's thesis is called Refuting that Ming Xianzong's pregnant concubine was forced to have an abortion by Wan Fei. The content is not listed, and interested friends can search by themselves.

So I don't think Wan Guifei was hacked by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

It is possible that some literati did it on purpose in order to blacken Ming Xianzong in the late Ming Dynasty.

After all, only in this way can we highlight the legend of Ming Xiaozong's life.

As for why we should raise Ming Xiaozong, it is obvious.

Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaozong respected the literati the most. It is no exaggeration to say that the closest time for the literati in Ming Dynasty to the literati in Song Dynasty was eighteen years of Xiaozong.

This kind of good emperor who is polite to literati is not appreciated. Do you want to hold the eunuch Ming Xianzong?
