Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty not only set an example for Zhu Houzhao as an emperor, but also gave him a harmonious and peaceful family. Compared with the numerous harem of the general emperor, with 3,000 famous ladies, Ming Xiaozong is also a rare model in the relationship between husband and wife. He may be the only emperor in the history of China who insisted on monogamy. He likes his queen Zhang very much and spends every day with her. He never married another concubine in his life, and even some courtiers advised him to marry another concubine because the queen was infertile, and he ignored it. So when Empress Zhang was finally born in Hongzhi four years (149 1), the joy of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty can be imagined. The child's horoscope is also very unusual. The specific time of his birth should be the day of the full moon in the Year of the Sea, which is just the opposite of Xu Hai's birth order. In ancient times, it was considered a happy birthday, especially it was said that this birthday had some coincidences with Zhu Maoyuan Zhang. Hyosung is happier. He is full of expectations for this son. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, he named him Hou Zhao, which was handed down from generation to generation. Supposedly, he hoped that he was "the world is wide, and the trillions of people are all under the light", and he was soon chased as a prince.
Sima guang
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the literati lived a prosperous life, and concubinage and whoring prevailed. Sima Guang, Rainbow Anshi and Yue Fei are very few people who don't take concubines or keep prostitutes. After more than 30 years of marriage, his wife, Mrs. Zhang, had no children. Sima Guang did not take it to heart, nor did he think about concubinage and having children. Mrs. Zhang is worried to death. On one occasion, she bought a beautiful woman behind Sima Guang's back, quietly put it in the bedroom, and then went out on an excuse. Sima Guang saw it, ignored it and went to the study to read. The beauty followed her to the study. After putting on airs, she took out another book, flipped through it and asked coyly, "Excuse me, sir, what is Zhong Cheng?" Sima Guang stood ten feet away from her with a straight face and handed him a reply: "Zhong Cheng is an official, not a book!" The beauty was bored and left disappointed.
On another occasion, Sima Guang went to her husband's house to enjoy flowers. Mrs. Zhang and her mother-in-law secretly arranged a beautiful maid. Sima Guang was rude and said angrily to the servant girl, "Go away! Why did you come to see me when my wife was away? " The next day, all the guests of the Zhang family knew about it and admired it very much, saying that it was like a replica of "Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun" growing old together. Only one person smiled: "It's a pity that Sima Guang can't play the piano, but only kick the tortoise!" " When Mrs. Zhang was childless for life, Sima Guang adopted his brother's son "Sima Kang" as his adopted son.
Sima Guang and his wife live together. Luoyang Lantern Festival is famous all over the world. On the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Zhang wants to go out and watch the lights. Sima Guang said, "There are lights at home, so why go out to see them?" Mrs. Zhang said, "Not only the lights, but also the tourists." Sima Guang smiled and said, "Look at people? Strange, am I a ghost! "
Wang Anshi
When Wang Anshi was appointed as the imperial edict, Wang Anshi's wife Wu took Wang Anshi as a concubine. The woman went to serve Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi asked, "Who are you?" The woman claimed that she was "owed by the government and forced to sell herself". Hearing this, Wang Anshi not only confiscated her as a concubine, but also sent money to help her pay off her official debts and let her have a second romantic relationship with her husband.
