The Only Mysterious Missing Empress in Ming Dynasty: zhangyan, Empress of Ming Xizong

Red tide lead: In the history of the Ming Dynasty, we only knew that there was an emperor who could not see the life and death of people. That's Zhu Yun, the Jianwen Emperor who was taken away by his uncle Judy. I don't know whether he was burned to death or wandering in rivers and lakes. Don't you know there is a queen who can't see anyone's life or death? Who is she? She is the queen of Mingxi School, Queen Zhang.

In the first year of the apocalypse, Queen Zhang married Ming Xizong. Zhang, Zhang, Zhang and Zhang are the daughters of Xiangfu County, Henan Province. She is a rare intelligent queen, elegant, beautiful and knowledgeable. The young couple were very affectionate at the beginning of their marriage. In April of that year, Xizong officially canonized her as the queen of the palace. However, this Ming Xizong is like a child who hasn't grown up. He only knows how to have fun and do carpentry every day, and never asks about state affairs. Later, I preferred Wei Zhongxian and Nanny Hakka. Queen Zhang is very dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's bullying and disturbing the state affairs. She often admonishes husband and wife when they are alone, but Xizong never listens. Therefore, there is a certain recognition between the two.

The queen is very calculating and opinionated about state affairs. She is very dissatisfied with many practices of Hakkas. I want to call Hakka to the palace many times and take the opportunity to get rid of her. However, this Hakka seems to have always been suspicious of Queen Zhang, and he is always wary of Queen Zhang. As the wet nurse of Emperor Xizong, Hakkas brought him up with one hand and often pretended to be Xizong's mother. He often plays down a peg or two in the palace and doesn't take concubines seriously at all, even for Queen Zhang. Queen Zhang is very disgusted with the violence of Hakkas. She once scolded the Hakkas in person. So the Hakkas, Wei Zhongxian and Empress Zhang forged a feud and decided to eradicate it. In the third year of the Apocalypse (A.D. 1623), Queen Zhang was pregnant, and the Hakkas thought that the opportunity had come, so they replaced all the servants in the harem with her confidants, and served Zhang rudely. Finally, one day, when a maid-in-waiting rubbed Zhang's back, she deliberately used too much force, resulting in a miscarriage of Queen Zhang.

At the same time of assassinating Queen Zhang, Ke and Wei also reached out to Zhang, the father of Queen Zhang, to implicate Queen Zhang, abolish Queen Zhang and make Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing's daughter the queen. So they made a rumor in the palace that Queen Zhang was the daughter of a murderer adopted by Zhang. Her father is actually Sun Er, a thief in Wang Yang. When Zhu Youxiao heard about it, he really believed it. Regardless of black and white, he decided to go to Zhang Juelu and ordered him to support the elderly in his hometown, but Xizong did not move Queen Zhang. It seems that he still has some feelings for Queen Zhang. Xizong doesn't want Hakkas and others to hurt Queen Zhang, nor does she want Queen Zhang to hurt her confidant. So there is often silence between the two.

At first, Xizong Zhu Youxiao was in good health. He is in his early twenties and has never been ill. But for some reason, from the sixth year of the apocalypse, his body became weaker and weaker, and his face and body became swollen. In the seventh year of the apocalypse, I was ill in bed, often with high fever, aggravated edema, decreased appetite, inability to speak, and was in a state of panic. At this point, rumors of Wei Zhongxian's premeditated usurpation came from Beijing, which made a big fuss about it. Queen Zhang is worried. After Xizong fell ill, he was ill in bed, and Queen Zhang took care of himself every morning and evening. Perhaps due to the discovery of kindness, Zhu Youxiao's personality has undergone some subtle changes since the seventh year of Revelation. He began to pay attention to the people around him, and his attitude towards Queen Zhang gradually changed.

Although Queen Zhang is only a young woman in her twenties, as the mother of the world, she is still very politically minded. She clearly realized that in the face of the complicated situation, she must be calm and calm, and the top priority is to solve the problem of succession to the throne, and she must never punish Ke and Wei's usurpation plot. Now, her illness was hopeless and she had no children, so Queen Zhang thought of her half-brother Zhu Youjian. According to the convention that "brothers will always be friends", Wang Xin can inherit the throne in a justified way, and he has a good reputation and can hold a big post. So, Queen Zhang mentioned this letter to the seriously ill patient, saying that she could entrust something important and nodded in agreement. At this time, Wei Zhongxian and others kept inside and outside the palace to prevent accidents. In order to prevent them from launching a coup and suddenly usurping power, Queen Zhang persuaded them to summon Xinwang immediately, but they failed because the guests and Wei were too strict. Later, she finally found an opportunity to secretly arrange for Xinhe Wang Xizong to meet.

Under the secret arrangement of Empress Zhang, he came to the palace and met his younger brother. It is sad to see my brother swollen to death. Zhu Youxiao summoned up his courage and said, "My brother will become a monarch like Yao Shun in the future. You should take good care of your sister-in-law. " When Wang Xin heard that the emperor was going to give him the throne, he refused in every way. At this time, Queen Zhang came out from behind the curtain and said in an eager voice, "Uncle, don't refuse again. Now is the most dangerous time for the country. You must shoulder the great responsibility of the country. " ? Believe that the king just prostrated himself and dared not agree. After the interview, Queen Zhang told him to take care of himself and pay attention to the situation at any time.

Zhu Youxiao has been in a daze for more than 20 years, and the only thing he can understand is to meet the letter king and determine his successor. In this matter, the struggling emperor played a very key role. With her encouragement, the loyal king Zhu Youjian summoned up the courage to enter the palace and succeeded to the throne. On August 22, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, she died. Immediately, Queen Zhang sent a decree to welcome people into the palace and announced to the world that she would inherit the Great Unity. The next day, when she acceded to the throne, Queen Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. With her resourcefulness and determination, Queen Zhang made an amazing move and settled in the country.
