Secret history of harem: the origin of Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines

Zhu Yuanzhang's road to the throne is legendary. He ascended the throne at the age of 4 1, and there were more than 20 concubines in the harem. So, how did these empresses come from? Next, let's take a look.

In ancient China, marriage was mostly related to politics. Empress system in Ming Dynasty was established by Zhu Yuanzhang. He once commented: "Gonghu was eliminated in the late Ming Dynasty, and critics said that its family law was superior to Han and Tang Dynasties."

Zhu Yuanzhang formulated a strict system to restrain the harem and prevent the palace from falling. All his thoughts are written in the Biography of the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty. For example, it is stipulated that "children of good families must choose gifts when they get married", and ministers may not give them away privately.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world from a Ma Zhi and proclaimed himself emperor at the age of forty-one, his concubines could not fully abide by these regulations. According to statistics, there are more than 20 concubines of Zhu Yuanzhang. How did these concubines come from?

First of all, the home of the rebel general

Ma Huanghou of Zhu Yuanzhang is Guo Zixing's adopted daughter. They are married couples, born in poverty and have deep feelings.

Guo Zixing's biological daughter Guo Huifei gave birth to Shu Wang Chunzhu, Zhu Gui, Yongjia Princess and Ruyang Princess.

Sun Shi, the imperial concubine of Zhu Yuanzhang, was born in Chenzhou. His father is Ishihara. After his parents died, he and his brother Sun Fan fled to Yangzhou and were adopted by Ma Shixiong, the marshal of the rebel army. Born Princess Huaiqing, posthumous title became a mother.

Second, the daughter of ordinary people.

Guo Ningfei from Haozhou, his father Guo, his brother Guo Xing and Lu Wang Zhu Tan. It is said that Guo Ningfei's father is good at fortune telling. When I met Zhu Yuanzhang by chance, he knew that this person was either rich or expensive, so he married his daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked his two sons to follow him.

Third, accept the opponent's wife.

Ding Fei was born with Tan and was originally the wife of Chen Youliang. After Zhu Yuanzhang pacified Chen Youliang, he took Chen Youliang's harem as his own. Record: "Princess Daning, a friend of the Han Dynasty, was born in Zi Wang."

Zhu Yuanzhang took revenge and married his opponent's wife. He once said publicly: "I am very frank about all illegal acts. I've never had a wife or daughter. I hate this. " Because of the feud, he took his wife and humiliated his opponent. He also said: "Emperor Gao was the concubine of Suo Pingguo with his sword, and puppet Han disobeyed his orders for the longest time, hated him deeply, and once took his concubine." However, "I was immediately sent out and deeply regretted it." Later generations also concluded that Zhu was Chen Youliang's posthumous son, and later avenged his parents, defeated himself and set himself on fire.
