Who's Wan Guifei?

There are many favored concubines in history, but no one can compare with Ming Xianzong's beloved princess Wan Zhener. A great emperor 19-year-old woman has firmly occupied her husband's heart and has the love of his life, which really puzzles others. The only explanation is that Wan Fei has a unique and coquettish flattery. In this respect, Wan Guifei is the most attractive woman!

It is said that Ming Yingzong's son Zhu Jianshen was seventeen when he became king, which was when he was young. The Empress Dowager of the Forbidden City spent a lot of time choosing a queen for the new emperor. Among the twelve wives personally selected by Yingzong for his son before his death, Wang, Wu and Bai were carefully selected to stay in the palace for a slow inspection.

Xianzong's mother, Zhou Tianzi, ordered the ceremony to supervise Niu Yu to choose one of the three as the queen. Niu Yu told Empress Zhou that when the first emperor was in power, he preferred martial women and royal women. I think two women look alike and can't tell who is more beautiful and dignified. In contrast, martial women seem to be more virtuous. Empress Zhou decided to choose Wu as Empress Xianzong, and Empress Qian (Empress Xiao Zhuang Rui of the Ming Dynasty) certainly had no different opinions.

Who knows, after the wedding, the emperor and groom did not covet the youthful beauty, but often stayed in Wan's palace, which made them angry and ashamed. She doesn't understand, no matter beauty, knowledge or family accomplishment, which point can't compare with Xu Niang's half-year-old Wan Fei? What she doesn't understand is that Wan Fei, who is 19 years older than the emperor, used what means to tie the emperor's heart to death?

It turned out that Xian Zong, who got married before the wedding, had an affair with Wan Zhener, a maid-in-waiting in her thirties in the same year. Wan Zhener was originally from Zhucheng, Qingzhou (now Yidu County, Shandong Province), and his father Wan Gui was a county magistrate, who broke the law and enfeoffed the frontier. When Wan Zhener was only four years old, he became a slave. Ten years later, he became very beautiful. Empress Sun pitied her cleverness and ordered her to manage clothes and ornaments in Hongshou Palace. Xianzong often went to play with his grandmother when he was a child, and Zhener also made fun of Xianzong, so he got closer and closer and became girlfriends after a long time. Jane is a man of heart, who is bent on buttering up the Crown Prince, hoping to make a difference, and is particularly flattering to Xianzong.

In the sixth year of Tianshun, Queen Sun died of illness, and the 15-year-old Crown Prince took the opportunity to join the East Palace as a personal maid. Although Jane is over thirty, she is still a virgin and has a strong color, but she looks only about twenty. In order to seduce the prince of "Seeds of Love", she tried all kinds of flattery and finally hooked up with him, so they started an affair without telling the palace people.

After Xian Zong acceded to the throne, he only loved Wan Zhener. According to his idea, I really want Wan Zhener to be the queen, but it is almost a dream to sit on the queen's throne with a humble maid-in-waiting who is 19 years older than him. Because of the etiquette and mother's orders, Xianzong had to marry Wu Huanghou, and Wan Yu could only give her a concubine's name.

Wan Zhener unwilling. She knew that the emperor at this time had completely fallen at her feet; She believes that as long as the emperor makes up his mind, it is entirely possible for her to sit on the throne of the queen. Fortunately, she didn't take Wu Huanghou seriously. After the wedding, the emperor often visited her bedroom, lived with her day and night, and loved each other, which encouraged her arrogance. Therefore, every time she meets Wu Huanghou, she always loses face with a straight face and even deliberately puts on airs, which makes Wu Huanghou very angry. At first, it was because of Xianzong's face that he forbeared. Later, he couldn't bear it, and he was inevitably scolded for being unreasonable. But Wan Fei not only didn't know how to restrain herself, but also sneered at the Queen's cruel words. Once Wu Zetian's sexual desire was greatly increased, she ordered the imperial secretary to drag her to the ground and beat her several times with her staff.

This is terrible. Wan Fei found Xian Zong and cried endlessly. Xianzong was furious and wanted to talk to the queen. Wan Fei is a scheming man, deliberately stop xian zong, said:

"I'm old, look in decline, it is better to the queen's herself. Please order me to leave the palace, so as not to make the queen angry and save me from being flogged! "

Xianzong hated the queen, pitied Wan Fei, and slowly unbuttoned Wan Fei's clothes. Look at her skin as white as snow, and there are traces of blood on her staff. He couldn't help swearing from the heart: "If I don't get rid of these provocative goods, I will never be a man!"

Early the next morning, Xianzong went to see the Empress Dowager, saying that Wu Huanghou was frivolous and unruly, and he was the first in the Sixth Hospital, so he would be abolished. Money queen mother inconvenience what to say, the queen mother weeks dissuade way:

"This book will be scrapped in January. Isn't this a joke?"

Xianzong insisted on abolishing it, and the Empress Dowager Zhou doted on her son, so she had to let Xianzong do it. Thus, an abandoned imperial edict was issued, ordering Wu to retire to his palace and punishing Niu Yu, the supervisor of the army, for growing vegetables in Xiaoling.

Wan Fei coveted this position and asked Xianzong to intercede with the Queen Mother for her. However, Empress Dowager Zhou refused to answer because she was too old and humble.

Two months later, the Empress Dowager Zhou issued a letter asking Xian Zongli and Baishi to call the princess's king the queen. The king's queen was timid and knew that the emperor was partial to Wan Fei. She was no match for Wan Fei, so she had to humble herself everywhere and wait patiently, just being a puppet queen.

The devil who killed the son of man

In the second year of Chenghua, Wan Fei gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and Xianzong was overjoyed. She immediately became an imperial concubine and sent messengers to pray for the gods of mountains and rivers. But it happened that things did not develop according to people's wishes. Before the full moon, the dragon's son died short-lived, and Wan Guifei was never pregnant again. But she didn't give up her ambition to seize the queen's position, so she was very jealous of her concubine having children. If she knew which concubine was pregnant, she would do everything possible to force her to drink medicine and have an abortion. Because of Wan Guifei's power in the palace, concubines can only obey with tears.

A few years later, Xian Zong had no children, and both the ruling and opposition parties were worried about it. Ministers repeatedly called on the emperor to be kind, and Xianzong frowned. In the fifth year of Chenghua, Princess Bai gave birth to the Prince. Xianzong was very happy and celebrated with great events. He was named V pole and immediately became the Crown Prince. In February of the following year, the Crown Prince suddenly fell ill. He was very ill, and the doctors were helpless. He died a day and a night later. Xianzong cried her eyes out. The court eunuch thought that the prince had a strange disease and secretly went to visit him. Wan Guifei sent someone to poison him. However, no one dared to report it.

Time flies, another six years have passed. At this time, Wan Guifei was not only in favor of the Sixth Academy, but also in power, and Lian Xianzong could not stop her. She even has eunuchs inside and powerful ministers outside. Eunuchs include Liang Fang, Qian Neng, Zheng Zhong and Wang Zhi. , are tribute to the imperial concubine. In the name of court procurement, they searched extensively and used countless internal funds, and Xianzong dared not ask more.

On this day, Xian Zong missed his dead son and asked Sharla Cheung, the supervisor, to comb his hair. Looking at myself in the mirror, I suddenly saw a few white hairs on my head, and I couldn't help but sigh: "I am old and have no children!" "

Sharla Cheung fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. "Please forgive the death of slaves. I will tell you frankly that I have a son! "

Xianzong was surprised and asked, "What do you mean? Where do I have children? "

Sharla Cheung kowtowed again and said, "I'm afraid I'll lose my life. Long live the Lord, you must be the master of the prince. Although the slave is dead, no regrets! "

Wynn, the eunuch standing by, knelt down and said, "Sharla Cheung is telling the truth. The prince was raised in the inner room of the West Palace and is now six years old. I am afraid of inviting trouble and dare not report it. " Xianzong was overjoyed. He suspected that he was dreaming. Then he sent a message to the west, and sent Sharla Cheung to lead the prince to meet him.

Who is this prince? It turned out that in the third year of Chenghua, the Tu people in the southwest rebelled and the court sent generals to crusade. After the barbarians were razed, both male and female prisoners were brought into the capital. One of them is Ji's daughter, who was originally the daughter of a non-commissioned officer in Hexian County. She was beautiful and alert, and she was filled into the court. When the palace saw that she was virtuous and educated, she was promoted to female history. Soon, the queen took a fancy to her and ordered her to manage the vault in the palace.

One day, Xian Zong came to Tibet by chance and asked how many gold and silver bills were in it. She is eloquent and answers are flowing, which makes the dragon very happy. Seeing her fine features and charming, Xianzong summoned her at Jishi's residence. A few months later, Ji was pregnant.

When Wan Guifei found out about it, he was so jealous that he sent a maid-in-waiting to find out the truth. The maid-in-waiting is a kind person, and he can't bear to see the emperor's children killed again. Go back and tell the imperial concubine that Ji is just uncomfortable with abdominal distension. Wan Guifei with a grain of salt, not trust, so ordered Jishi to withdraw from hidden, moved to a comfortable area close to his residence, and supervised her from time to time.

A few months passed and Ji gave birth to a boy. Ji was very sad about such a happy event. She knew that her son would not escape Wan Guifei's clutches, and if she didn't try to kill him, she might lose her life. She gritted her teeth, wrapped the child, and ordered the doorman Sharla Cheung to take the prince out of the palace and drown him.

It will be unbearable for Sharla Cheung to take over the prince. He thinks the emperor is getting older and older. His son was either stillborn or died of acute illness. So far, there are no children. How can I do such a thing that I am sorry for the country and the royal family? At the risk of being beheaded, he secretly hid the prince in the secret room and fed him some honey, powder bait and other foods. Because Sharla Cheung acted cautiously, he escaped Wan Guifei's eyes and ears again and again. Soon, the waste queen Wu knew about it and took the prince to the west where she lived, taking good care of him, and the prince survived unharmed.

Besides, when Ji heard Xian Zong calling his son, he hugged him and burst into tears, saying, "I'm afraid my son will die if he goes today! When you go, if you see a man with a yellow robe and a beard, he is your father. Let's meet him! " She dressed her son in a little red robe, carried him into a small sedan chair, and left the west under the escort of Sharla Cheung and others.

At this moment, Zong Zheng is eagerly sitting in the hall, waiting. Suddenly, a small sedan chair stopped in front of the palace. A child dressed in red and wearing a shawl with fetal hair jumped down and went straight to the front of the hall. As soon as he saw it, he knelt down and said, "My son came to see the father" and asked him to visit. He was so sad and happy that he couldn't help crying. He held his son in his arms and put it on his knee to study it carefully. After a long time, I muttered to myself, "This child looks like me and is indeed my son!" " "

Wynn of the Constitutional School went to the Cabinet to report the good news and explained the reasons. The ministers were very happy and congratulated Xian Zong together the next morning. Xianzong ordered the cabinet to draft an imperial edict and publish it to the world, making Ji a concubine and moving westward. Because the six-year-old prince has not yet been named, he also ordered a meeting of the Ministry of Rites to name him V-min.

Shang Lu, a college student, is still worried that the prince will make the same mistake as Crown Prince V, but he dare not say it. He only said that the prince and his mother would live together to take care of them. Xianzong allowed Ji and the prince to live in Yongshou Palace, and he himself often went to Yongshou Palace to get together with Ji. Not only that, Xianzong also boldly made love with other concubines and gave birth to several sons in succession.

In the festive palace, Wan Guifei was the only one who hated her teeth. She cries all day, saying that a group of kids dare to bully me, and I will never wait for you!

In June this year, the kind Ji Fei died of an unexpected illness. Poisoning or strangulation, no one dares to ask, but everyone knows. Xian zong did not pursue it, but ordered a reburial and named Ji Fei "Gong Ke Zhuang Su Xi Fei". When Sharla Cheung saw that Shu Fei was killed by Wan Guifei, she thought she could not escape, so she swallowed gold and committed suicide.

Wan Guifei also wants to get rid of this eyesore. But she's not that easy to handle. In order to protect her grandchildren, Queen Zhou ordered Xianzong to give V Min to her and put it in Renshou Palace. Soon, Zhu V Min was canonized as the Crown Prince. One day, Wan Guifei invited Min to visit her palace. Empress Zhou was upset and told her grandchildren not to eat after they went. In the imperial concubine's palace, the imperial concubine advised V people to eat cakes, and V people replied that they had already eaten them. The imperial concubine advised him to drink soup, and the clever child asked her, "Is this soup poisonous?" I was so angry that the imperial concubine could not speak for a long time.

"Such a small child is so wary of me and hates me. Once he ascended the throne in the future, wouldn't I die at his hands? " She felt that she had to make up her mind to make her constitution easy to preserve.

Since then, whenever she got the chance, she quarreled with Xianzong, demanding the abolition of the Crown Prince Zhu V Min and the promotion of Fei's son to the V Hangzhou. Although Wan Guifei was nearly sixty years old at this time, Xianzong was close and afraid of her, and could not do without her. How dare he not listen to her? Eunuch Liang Fang and others colluded with Wan Fei, embezzled the money of the imperial palace, worried that the prince would be punished after he acceded to the throne in the future, and also helped Wan Guifei attack the prince together. Xianzong had to agree.

The next day, Xianzong consulted with Li Si eunuch Wynn. Wynn repeatedly said no, which made Xianzong very unhappy and sent Wynn to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb. I was just about to call a group of ministers to discuss the abolition of Li, and there was an earthquake in Mount Tai in Dongyue. According to Qin's astronomical observation, this constellation should be in the East Palace. Xianzong thought that the abolition of the prince would offend God's will, and he would not mention the matter of easy storage any more, thus preserving the status of the prince.

Wan Guifei struggled and couldn't shake the status of the prince, so in a rage, he soon got liver disease and died in the spring of the 23rd year of Chenghua. When Wan Fei died, Xian Zong seemed to have lost his backbone and said sadly, "The imperial concubine has gone, and I am going to die soon!" Like the queen, he presided over the funeral of the imperial concubine and retired for seven days. In August this year, the unhappy Xian Zong was seriously ill and followed Wan Guifei.

Wan Zhener, a humble maid-in-waiting and a semi-old Xu Niang, unexpectedly fell out of favor, spoiled the crown and harem, and became an unknown queen for more than 20 years. No one can understand the reason of the Central Plains. As for the two queens of Xian Zong, Wu Hewang, one was a grass widow at the beginning of her marriage, and the other was a puppet all her life.
