Queen Zhang of Zhu Youtang

Now let's talk about Queen Zhang. Queen Zhang is a benefactor, and her father Zhang Luan is a student of Tai College, the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty. To say that Taiyuan is worse than Peking University now, Peking University has at least one Tsinghua. This Taiyuan was a unique school in the Ming Dynasty, and the competition was much greater than entering Peking University.

Zhang's mother Jin doesn't even have a name for her daughter, let alone herself. The birth of Queen Zhang was terrible. According to Kim himself, one night I dreamed that a moon suddenly ran into my stomach. Fortunately, I looked at the moon in the sky. Otherwise, lovers' illusions about flowers and moonlight will all be ruined. Of course, because Kim dreamed that the moon entered her belly, it was not entirely up to her to decide whether the moon was round or flat. If it were modern, it would not be popular with her at all, but many people believed it at that time. This is the same as the modern hype. Through this kind of hype, Jin made Queen Zhang, who was still a baby, famous in one fell swoop.

Since the birth of Queen Zhang is so unusual, she is naturally famous. Being famous may bring a lot of trouble, but it will also bring many benefits. Just because of her fame and beauty, in the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Queen Zhang was elected as the crown princess. Some princesses may have been princesses for more than ten years, even twenty or thirty years, and even died with the prince. However, Queen Zhang was quickly promoted, because first she died, and then Ming Xianzong succeeded to the throne and became emperor. Queen Zhang naturally became a queen.

According to the old rules, the family of Queen Zhang developed immediately. Her father, Zhang Luan, is named Chang Gong. Queen Zhang has two younger brothers, one is called Shouninghou. The other is Zhang Yanling, who was born a little late and became the youngest brother. He only got a long sword. In fact, the situation of each queen is similar, the only difference is how the emperor sealed it. How the emperor sealed it depends on how the emperor feels about the queen. If you feel good, the official will be big, if you feel bad, the official will be small.

Ming Xiaozong felt very good about Queen Zhang, so what was said above was not enough. Ming Xiaozong also built a temple for Empress Zhang in her hometown. The project is huge, and I don't know how many workers have worked for several years to complete it. As for funds, don't worry. How can it be said that the Ming Empire was also the boss in the world at that time, and it was China? Can't even afford to build a temple? Besides, if the Queen's Temple is not properly repaired, won't it ruin the prestige of our great country? This is the idea of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, but "a handsome man covers a hundred ugliness". Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty was the King of Zhongxing in Ming Dynasty, and he always appreciated it. Of course, no one will say that he is extravagant or something with such a trivial matter. Besides, people just want to please their wives, which is understandable.

The only thing that Queen Zhang did with a bad influence was to condone her brother's evil deeds, which caused many serious consequences. His younger brothers, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, hold the power of "registering the palace", that is, absorbing fresh blood for the palace. Of course, this is a fat job. There are many people who want to work in the palace. If nothing else, say eunuch. In Ming dynasty, there were many phenomena of eunuch's autocratic power, so people were full of yearning for eunuch profession. As long as there is a future, it doesn't matter how he gets to the end. This is the idea of many people. So many parents castrated their children and sent them to the palace in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, some of these people go to the palace to make a living because they live in poverty. The most serious thing is that there is a village where all the children have been castrated. If there is a fish that escapes from the net, he will be very popular with young girls in that village. Because a large number of eunuchs entered the palace, the Ming government had to order the prohibition of castration of children without permission. There are huge differences between Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, so it is difficult for them to think about this problem.

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling also indulge their families to make money for them everywhere. As for the means of making money, a hundred flowers blossom, but most of them are not good flowers. Ministers wrote letters demanding that Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling be severely punished. Suddenly, the crowd became angry. But Ming Xiaozong directly cut off these memorials, just kidding. I'm just a wife. If I have offended her, will I sleep at night?

Because Ming Xiaozong had only one wife and few children, only two sons and one daughter. Originally, there was a second son, the second heir to the throne, but he died very early, so there was only one son left in Ming Xiaozong, that is, the later Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao.

It was explained that Xiaozong only had one wife because of his sexual ability. I wonder, if his sexual ability is problematic, where do his sons and daughters come from? However, it is still possible if filial piety is indifferent.

Because Ming Xiaozong had only one son, and the ministers were in a hurry. If something happens to this Zhu Houzhao, what about this royal lineage? So the ministers wrote again, probably meaning that the emperor will give you several concubines for the sake of the world, the country and the ancestors.

Being an emperor has this advantage. Even if he doesn't want to, many people come here and insist that you marry a little wife. If you don't marry, I'm sorry for the whole country and everyone. However, in the emperor's history of more than 2,000 years, there are many examples of ministers who are anxious because the emperor has no children, but there are really few people who are worried that the emperor will not accept concubines, because the emperor is usually the spokesman of a lecherous, and even if you don't say it, he himself has to churn out a few poems such as "My Fair Lady, A Gentleman is Good". If Ming Xiaozong's feelings for Queen Zhang have changed, maybe he will have a hot brain: "Well, for the sake of the country and the people, I promise your request and choose all the beautiful women in the world to enter the palace." Then the ministers praised him for his cleverness, and then he went back and knelt on the washboard of the queen. But Ming Xiaozong flatly refused, using the old saying: "This is my family's business, you don't have to worry about it."

But it turns out that these ministers are right to worry. After the death of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao became emperor, which made Daming a mess. Later, he died young, leaving no son. Ministers had to choose from other royal children, and the blood of Ming Xiaozong was cut off.
