My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 25 Post-election?Choose a hammer

Just as he handed the written coin pressing process to Wang Mo and handed it over to Zhao Han, he saw Liu Shimin hurried in with this memorial.

"Your Majesty, Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, initiated this initiative, and the rest of the princes followed suit and asked for a draft girl to establish a queen as early as possible."

"After standing?"

Hearing Liu Shimin's words, Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he, as an emperor, was not yet a queen.

"Give me the memorial."

Taking the memorial from Liu Shimin's hand, Zhu Youxiao opened it and looked at it. There was nothing much to say, except that it was about the harmony of yin and yang and the balance between inside and outside.

Tapping the memorial gently in his hand, Zhu Youxiao looked at the sergeant running in the distance and began to ponder. Zhu Youxiao did not intend to follow history in the queen's choice.

As the ancients said, marry a virtuous wife and keep concubines for sex.

So can Zhang Yan in history deserve the title of a virtuous empress?

The answer is no, Queen Chongzhen and Zhou did better than her.

Influenced by her father Zhang Guoji, Queen Zhang's political views were biased towards Donglin. Needless to say, this point goes without saying.

The most concerning point is that the Apocalypse in history once had the idea of ​​abolishing the queen.

According to official history, Zhang Yan had a handsome face, a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like cherry blossoms, a nose like hanging gallbladder, and white teeth. She had scolded Wei Zhongxian and Hakka in front of Emperor Tianqi several times. Can be called a virtuous queen.

But as a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao clearly remembers one thing about Zhang Yan: It is said that Zhang Yan is not Zhang Guoji's biological daughter. His biological father is a death row prisoner named Sun Er.

There is such a record in "History of the Ming Dynasty": Queen Zhang of Xizong Yian was named the queen in April of the first year of Tianqi.He has a strict nature and counts the mistakes of Hakka and Wei Zhongxian in the emperor's preface.I tried to summon the guests to come and wanted to bring them to justice.Ke and Wei hated each other, so they falsely accused the queen of being an unruly daughter, which confused the emperor.

However, in the "Records of Ming Xi Zong", the record of this incident has been completely changed: the governor of the Chinese Army Dudu Mansion and his salary commander Zhang Guojiyan, the traitor (magic stick) Song Ba and others went to Wanping County The jailer (captured) strong bandit Sun Er and the demon monk of Ci'en Temple sworn an alliance and falsely claimed that Sun Er was the queen's biological father and his wife Sui was the queen's biological mother. The surnamed Sun was the Queen's brother. He set up a bureau in Ci'en Temple to spread rumors, deceive the ignorant people, and beg for justice.

Regarding the fact that Zhang Yan is not Zhang Guoji's father, there are two records and two versions. Was this revealed by Wei Zhongxian or by Zhang Guoji himself?

When talking about Queen Zhang and Queen Zhou, we have to mention another person, Concubine Liu of Wanli.

First of all, there is one thing: Chongzhen could not have murdered his brother to usurp the throne.

In the first year of Tianqi, Ming Xizong held a grand wedding and finally selected one queen and two concubines.

On May 1625th, the fifth year of Tianqi's reign ([-]), Tianqi was playing in Xiyuan and the root of his disease fell.

On the sixth day of May in the sixth year of Tianqi, there was a big explosion in Wang Gong Factory. The less than one-year-old Xianhuai Prince Zhu Cijiong was frightened and died. This was the third son Tianqi lost.

At this time, Apocalypse's physical condition was deteriorating. According to Korean documents, Apocalypse had already developed symptoms of hematuria, which was an obvious symptom of kidney failure.

Knowing that he was about to die, Tianqi began to make funeral arrangements for Daming.

In November of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, King Xin chose a concubine, one main concubine and two concubines on both sides.

One plus two, does this combination look familiar?

When Emperor Apocalypse was elected, this was the configuration.

It would not be feasible for a prince to get married in the same manner as his brother, the emperor, from a legal point of view, but the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty agreed.

why?
Because here and there they are selecting a concubine for King Xin, and this is selecting a concubine for the future emperor!

Both Queen Zhang and Queen Zhou were chosen by Concubine Liu Zhao!

"It seems like I neglected something."

Suddenly realizing what he had been neglecting, a cold sweat broke out on Zhu Youxiao's back.During this time, we have been focusing on those who have balls in their crotches and those who once had balls, while ignoring another group of people who have played a big role in the entire history - women.

Women in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have nothing to accomplish.

But if you study carefully, you will find that the role of this group of people is not small at all.

The first time the Ming Dynasty abolished the empress - Zhu Qizhen and his mother-in-law, Empress Sun, defeated Empress Hu, and then cultivated a son named Emperor.

Emperor Zong Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty was personally taught by his grandmother, Xianzong's biological mother, and Empress Dowager Zhou of Zhu Mingmen.

This man who is often praised for saying that Hongzhi, a good man in the Ming Dynasty, was the only survivor of Zhengde, Zhengde. However, Zhengde still had no children, which led to the death of the Hongzhi line, and the throne fell to the Xingfan line.

In the feudal dynasty, the emperor's greatest responsibility was not to govern the country, but to give birth to sons.

The matter of giving birth to a son is just like drawing cards. The more you draw, the more likely you are to draw the SSR card.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, drew cards. Although some of the cards he drew were ruined by Empress Lu, the good cards he drew were preserved. Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu were the three generations of SSR.

Li Shimin drew Li Zhi (does anyone really think that Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, was not good at it?), and although Li Dan himself was not good at it, he still drew Li Longji's SR.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang drew a card and drew SSR Zhu Laosi Zhu Di, a master who thinks about beating people every day.

What about other people drawing cards?What's the best thing to do?Typical smoking is not enough.

Look at how much trouble Hongzhi and his family have caused later.

Later, there were also things like Empress Dowager Li of Longqing deposing Gao Gong and appointing Zhang Juzheng, and when Wanli liquidated Zhang Juzheng, she didn't give a shit.

What follows next are the dispute over the country’s origins between the two sons, Queen Wang and Concubine Zheng, the palace transfer case, the mystery of Tianqi’s heirlessness, etc.

The role of women is not small at all.

Moreover, the death of Emperor Tianqi in history.

He fell into the water, was frightened, had recurring illnesses, good and bad, and was swollen and had blood in his urine when he died. If the records are true, from the perspective of modern medicine, this would appear to be renal failure.

The most common factors that can lead to kidney failure are overindulgence on one side and overindulgence on the other. . .Heavy metal poisoning!

In ancient times, poisoning the emperor was not as easy as modern people think. Not to mention that the emperor had extravagant staff who were specialized in tasting food. If you wanted to poison the emperor, you could only do it by someone close to you.

And another thing is that Tianqi likes to eat dishes cooked by Hakka.

Before Tianqi became seriously ill, Hakka returned to his hometown. . .

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

We are still a 14-year-old child, so anxious to find a wife?
Women are very harmful to the body, okay?
Moreover, after the election, I will choose by myself, which has nothing to do with your foreign court.

With this in mind, Zhu Youxiao took up his pen and wrote a line on the memorial.

"The wheat is not filled with grain. Is it edible?"

"Go and send it back to Sun Ruyou."

After the election, choose a hammer, and the foreign court will not want to interfere in this matter.

　Ask for a recommendation, ask for a recommendation
