The strange woman Xu in Ming Dynasty (uncrowned king)

This is a beautiful woman hidden in the fog of history. Her deeds did not appear in the official history, but the folk unofficial history gave a detailed description of this strange girl.

Xu (1380- 1440) is from Fengyang. My father, Xu Da, is the wife of my mother. She is the younger sister of Empress Xu, the acting princess of Ming Dynasty, and the elder sister of An Gongzhu Xu. Xu Sheng is beautiful, beautiful and cultured. She is not only knowledgeable about books and rituals, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She seems to be addicted to piano, chess and painting, and is not interested in the relationship between men and women. She once decided to be single. Tianci Xu, the great-grandson of Xu Da's eldest son Xu Huizu, said: Jin Miao is beautiful and virtuous, and she is determined to be single. She refused the king's proposal of marriage, and even if she was hired as the queen by Cheng Zu, she could not realize her ambition.

Xu Miaoyun (1362- 1407), a native of Haozhou, was the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. In the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), he was officially crowned Princess Yan (the prince was the title of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty). Xu's benevolence, filial piety and gentleness, Zhu Yuanzhang's more than once praised this daughter-in-law in public. In the fourth year of Wen Jian (1402), Ming Taizu Zhu Di failed to succeed to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. In November, Princess Xu was made queen. But she was queen for four years and died in July in the fifth year of Yongle (AD 1407). Judy was very sad about the death of Queen Xu. He called posthumous title, Queen Xu, and Empress Renxiao, and there was no queen since then.

However, according to folklore, after the death of Queen Xu, the Ming emperor Judy took a fancy to his sister-in-law Xu. At this time, Xu is 28 years old. She is a peerless beauty. Judy was surprised by the heaven and man and appointed her queen. However, Xu Jinmiao refused to be called sick, but Judy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was also a person who would not give up until he achieved his goal. What's more, he thought he was the emperor and directly ordered Xu to be the queen of the mother instrument world. In order to get rid of the entanglement, Xu cut his hair from morning till night and looked at the Buddha, and was lazy every day. After knowing this, Judy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, felt that she could not ask Xu to move. He even vacated the position of the queen and no longer set up a queen. First, he expressed his thoughts on Xu, and second, he also showed that as long as Xu came, the position of the queen was yours.

When Xu refused, he also wrote a letter "Answering Emperor Yongle", which wrote: "I am a female student and have been indifferent for a long time. If you don't envy the forbidden garden and the deep palace, the bell will eat itself; I want to go to the empty nunnery in Qinghong Qingyu. Don't learn peaches in the garden, invite people to enjoy them; I would like to be a grass in the mountain, thriving and dying alone. Listening to the sound of autumn insects outside the wall is sad; I feel clear when I see Leng Yue in front of the window. Guy's life circumstances are different, so he enjoys different benefits. Courtiers and daughters have always been silent, staying in this secluded place, isolated from the field of wealth, and their hearts feel bright. . . . . . . And ministers and women are weak. Long live help is not enough, and moral education is not enough in the world. It's not good for your majesty's gain and loss, but it's against the ambition of my minister and daughter. I'm afraid your majesty may not be willing to do what my minister and daughter don't want. I am willing to be an idle person in the world, not seeking wealth. . . . . . My wife and I have been blessed before, and thousands of people pay attention to it. If you feel regret and pity again, you will be overwhelmed by the wishes of all ministers and women.

"

After Xu Jinmiao refused the post of queen, Ming stopped the persecution. After the death of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Renzong acceded to the throne and promised to have long hair. When Emperor Renzong was a crown princess, he heard about Xu's deeds and wanted to see what kind of person Xu was, so he summoned Xu. I saw that Xu was natural and graceful, with a calm expression and a sage like type. Although he is very old, he is still very attractive. The harem has great respect for Xu, and many people also say that it is natural for such people to refuse to be queens. Later, the nun who became a monk was called Huanggu Temple.

In the Ming Dynasty, girls were married at the age of 14 or 15, and it was really rare to see women who were not married at the age of 28. Moreover, this woman is versatile and has an extraordinary life experience, which can make the son of heaven never forget. This shows that this woman must be absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, Xu never appeared in the official history of the Ming Dynasty, but only in folklore. Whether there is a real person can only be confirmed by later archaeology, but Xu disappeared from history for several reasons:

1.？ It is said that Xu, like her eldest brother Xu Yaozu, is very protective of the emperor, and Chu Dijing's difficulty is to seize the emperor's throne, so Xu has good reasons not to be a queen.

2.？ Girls in the Ming Dynasty all got married very early, but Xu was still unmarried at the age of 28. It is conceivable how maverick she was at that time, perhaps because the Xu family didn't want to make public.

3.？ Does this strange girl in folklore represent a condemnation of Zhu Dijing's difficulty in seizing the throne, so as to carry forward orthodox ideas?
