Brief introduction of Zhang Yan's life
Zhangyan, the empress of the Ming Dynasty, was the original empress of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao. She was only 15 years old when she entered the palace and became a queen. The history books say that Queen zhangyan is "smart, capable and decent", and in fact it is. Since childhood, Queen zhangyan is quite solemn. In such a chaotic situation in the late Ming Dynasty, she remained awake all the time.
/kloc-When the 0/5-year-old Queen zhangyan entered the palace for the first time, she was keenly aware that the palace was unusual. First of all, Zhu Youxiao, the husband of the emperor she married, is a more naive person than she is. Zhu Youxiao hasn't read many books, so although Zhang Yan is two years old, he is not as insightful as Zhang Yan. Zhu Youxiao played cricket in the palace every day, worked as a carpenter, and turned a blind eye to state affairs, so eunuch Wei Zhongxian took control of state affairs. The following ministers are buttering up to Wei Zhongxian and even starting to build a shrine for him.
Empress zhangyan gave advice to Xi Zong, but Xi Zong didn't listen. Even though she was alone, Queen zhangyan still didn't give up. She called the Hakkas who cooperated with Wei Zhongxian to the palace, trying to bring her to justice, but it was impossible for her to do it alone. After this incident, Wei Zhongxian was also afraid of Queen zhangyan. So, Wei Zhongxian thought, no matter how to get rid of the queen zhangyan.
Zhang Yan has been fighting against Wei Zhongxian. Although she is young, her position is there, and Wei Zhongxian and others can't move her. When Queen Zhang Yan 18 years old, she finally got pregnant. Wei Zhongxian and others heard about it, nature is extremely anxious. Queen zhangyan has always opposed them. If a prince is born, they will never live. So he bought a maid-in-waiting, knocked out the queen zhangyan, and remained barren for life. Even so, Queen zhangyan did not fall. After her illness, she continued to fight the treacherous court official Wei Zhongxian.
Zhang Yan's Historical Evaluation
Qin's "Apocalypse Palace Ci": "Quiet in nature, easy to read and learn."
Ming History: "The solemnity of sex is due to the fault of the guest and Wei Zhongxian in the imperial preface."
Ji Xiaolan's Complete Works of Ji Xiaolan Volume III Biography of Queen Anne of Ming Yi: "There is the politics of the Ming Dynasty, as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties. When it was founded and revived, there was a history of sacred afterglow. If his virtue and chastity are killed, take Queen Yi 'an as a special cloud. "
* * * Qing * * Yi Shi's "Old Foxes Talk about the Beauty of Past Dynasties" records: For more than a thousand years, Zhang Baozhu, the empress of Ming Xizong, was castrated and was in danger several times. Later, she went to Beijing to hang herself and was slandered by the world. However, this is inevitable. Of these five people, Zhang Yan and Zhang Baozhu are the tallest and most beautiful. In virtue, two people are the best. It was slightly softer after the Han Dynasty and slightly stiffer after the Ming Dynasty. However, they all have virtuous virtues and are the most chaste. The looks of the five people are also solemn, beautiful, graceful and handsome, and I can't name them. But as far as its uniqueness is concerned, zhangyan after the Han Dynasty is quiet and gorgeous, Zhang Baozhu after the Ming Dynasty is rigorous and gorgeous, Li Zue after the age of high is beautiful and elegant, and Zhao Jun is gorgeous and gorgeous. All belong to eternity, the so-called eternal beauty. "
