Wan Zhener is from Zhucheng, Qingzhou, Shandong. When he was a child, his father lived in Bazhou, and he sent young Wan Zhener to the palace to be a little maid. The clever Wan Zhener was deeply loved by the grandson of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and became her personal maid-in-waiting.
In the fourteenth year of the Orthodox Church (1449), Zhu Jianshen, at the age of two, was made a prince. At that time, 19 years old was sent to take care of by Queen Sun. This year, Zhu Jianshen's father, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, was arrested by Waci, which was called "the change of the civil fort" in history, and Zhu Jianshen began a miserable life. When the emperor was caught by the enemy, he became a bargaining chip.
Although Zhu Jianshen was a prince, he was also involved in the cruel court struggle. The emperor and the prince are uncles. Of course, the emperor has an idea that he wants his son to be a prince. Zhu Qiyu, who just took the throne, dare not abolish the post of Prince Zhu Jianshen so soon, but it is conceivable that life in Zhu Jianshen is not easy.
In August of the first year of Jingtai (1450), Waci released Zhu Qizhen, who was of little use. Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, was very reluctant, and then Zhu Qizhen was placed under house arrest, which made life in Zhu Jianshen more difficult. Zhu Jianshen has never lived with her mother since she was a child. At this time, Wan Zhener became the only person who could protect the prince and give Zhu Jianshen a sense of security, and so did Wan Zhener.
At the age of five, Zhu Jianshen was deposed as a prince and expelled from the womb. It's getting farther and farther away from his parents and grandparents, so it's hard to meet them. At this time, he was accompanied by only 22-year-old Wan Zhener and Zhu Jianshen, who was under great mental pressure and still stuttered. Only by being moved by Wan Zhener can he feel at ease.
In the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, was seriously ill, and Zhu Qizhen was successfully restored with the help of the old minister. Ten-year-old Zhu Jianshen also resumed his position as a prince, perhaps because he grew up. Zhu Jianshen's feelings for Wan Zhener have also changed. He no longer relies solely on Wan Zhener, and Wan Zhener also sincerely cares about Zhu Jianshen.
Ming Xianzong has spoiled Wan Guifei for decades, but she is a queen. The first thing Zhu Jianshen did when he succeeded to the throne at the age of eighteen was to make Wan Zhener queen. At that time, there were two queens in the harem, one was Qian, the first emperor, and the other was Xianzong's biological mother. Queen Zhou naturally objected when she saw that her son wanted to be as big as herself.
The Empress Dowager of the two palaces chose Wu, Wang and Bai among the maids personally selected by Yingzong for his son before his death, and chose Wu as the queen and the imperial concubine. Ming Xianzong thought that after you set up yours, I only wanted my Wan Zhener, and I still stayed in Wan Guifei often.
Wu Huanghou, who is young and beautiful, really can't figure it out. She has an advantage over Wan Zhener in appearance and age. Why did the emperor turn a blind eye to himself? I can't swallow this tone. So, Wu exercised the power of the queen and arrested him. Unexpectedly, it annoyed Ming Xianzong. The furious emperor was abolished for a month, and Wu became the queen with the shortest reign in the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone in the harem knows that Wan Guifei is not to be taunted. Later, the Empress Dowager Zhou asked Xianzong to canonize Wang as a queen. The queen knew that the emperor was loved by Qian Qian's ten thousand princesses, and she was humble and forbearing all her life, and became a nominal queen.
In the second year of Chenghua, 37-year-old Wan Guifei gave birth to a son. Unfortunately, this son died a year later. This is the only son in Wan Guifei's life.
Ming Xianzong reigned for twenty-one years and had more than twenty sons with all concubines, but he never had feelings with anyone except Wan Zhener, while Wan Zhener rode around for Ming Xianzong, regardless of his age. It can be said that Ming Xianzong and Wan Guifei are absolute true love.
1487, 58-year-old Wan Zhener died of illness. When imperial secretary came to report the death of Wan Guifei, Ming Xianzong was too sad to speak for a long time. Finally, he vomited: "My son is gone, and I won't live long." In September of the same year, Ming Xianzong died at the age of 4 1 year.
Whether Wan Guifei is as evil as written in the history books is still controversial, but it is a recognized historical fact that Ming Xianzong spoiled Wan Guifei for decades. No matter what future generations think of this relationship, I think the love between Wan Guifei and Ming Xianzong should be true!
