In "The Style of Daming", Hu Shanxiang's personality can be said to be an image of an extreme individualist who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. In order to be able to run for the show, he did not hesitate to fight with the King of Han; in order to be able to cover up the fact that he had a miscarriage, he came up with such a dirty thing as stealing people, so that Hu Shangyi, who had the grace of nurturing after being discovered by Zhu Zhanji, committed suicide for her. Although in the play she also fulfilled her dream, becoming an empress and giving birth to the crown prince Zhu Qiyu, but helplessly wrapped in paper can not hold the fire, under zhu Gaoxuan's whistleblowing, the confusion between her and the King of Han is also known to Zhu Zhanji. After the abolition and confinement, it also became a portrayal of the shadow in her life. It is precisely because of this reason that his son Zhu Qiyu is not happy with Zhu Zhanji.
In fact, the birth mother of Zhu Qiyu in history was not Empress Hu, but someone else. As for the ambiguous relationship between Empress Hu and the King of Han in the play, it may also be inspired by the relationship between Zhu Qiyu's mother and the Han King Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Qiyu's mother was wu. In the History of Ming, it is recorded that Wu was the maid of Zhu Zhanji of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, and was given the title of Concubine Because she gave birth to Zhu Qiyu. But it is worth noting that this concubine has a special point, that is, she has always lived outside the palace, which is extremely special in the ancient times of feudal etiquette. As the mother of the crown prince, but can not live in the Forbidden City, there is only one way to say, that is, there is a problem with identity. Such a problem is certainly detrimental to royal dignity and inconsistent with feudal etiquette.
In this regard, in the "Record of Sins", it is pointed out that wu's identity is actually a concubine in the residence of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han. As an unsettled prince, Zhu Gaoxu had many times a heart of trespassing at the beginning of the ascension of his father Zhu Di dynasty and Akihito Emperor Zhu Gaoxu.
In 1425, after Zhu Gaozi died after only a year on the throne, Zhu Zhanji, who was the crown prince, was in Nanjing, and the fiefdom of Zhu Gaoxu of Han (near present-day Dongying, Shandong) was exactly the place where Beijing and Nanjing had to pass, so he set up an ambush to intercept Zhu Zhanji, who returned to Beijing to take the throne, but failed, and Zhu Zhanji also succeeded in taking the throne. After the major event was not accomplished, Zhu Gaoxu did not give up, but pestered the Shandong defenders to launch a rebellion.
In 1426, under the advice of Yang Shiqi and others, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, Zhu Zhanji, personally marched, surrounded Le'an, Zhu Gaoxu had to go out of the city and surrender, Zhu Gaoxu's father and son were also stripped of their knighthoods and escorted to Beijing, as the female dependents of the King of Han, they were also enslaved in the harem, and the Wu clan was naturally listed.
However, on the way back to Beijing, Zhu Zhanji saw that Wu's natural beauty was born, so he performed the Zhou Gong ceremony with her, which was considered to be a green hat for the second uncle Zhu Gaoxu. After returning to Beijing, due to factors such as the daughter of the criminal minister and the etiquette, Emperor Xuanzong had to place her in a large mansion close to the palace wall, and often came to be lucky, so that three years later, Wu gave birth to a dragon son, named Zhu Qiyu.
In the "Record of Sins", it is also mentioned that even after giving birth to the crown prince Zhu Qiyu, who was also one of Zhu Zhanji's only two sons, Ming Xuanzong did not enter the mother and son into the inner palace, but did not recognize their identities until his death.
Of course, we need to mention the "Record of Crimes", written in the early Qing Dynasty, the author is the infamous Ming History case initiator, Manchu Qing Baoyi, Mr. Jin Yong's ancestor Cha Jizuo, the nature of the work is also a personal private practice, the authenticity is difficult to distinguish. In such a drama repertoire as "Daming Fenghua", the seemingly superfluous plot of Hu Shanxiang being spoiled by the King of Han, and Zhu Qiyu's birth mother being arranged as Hu Shanxiang's bridge section, these can be described as somewhat similar to Wu's experience, except that green and green are ectopic.
On the occasion of Emperor Xuanzong's death, Zhu Qiyu was made the King of Yi, and she originally spent her life plainly, but with a change in Tumu Fort, Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen was captured, and her son Zhu Qiyu became the successor and was made empress. But in the end, the world was uncertain, the Jingtai Emperor did not leave the year, and became seriously ill in the eighth year of his reign, while Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and others chose to launch a change to seize the door, and Zhu Qizhen was reinstated. Her empress dowager was also stripped away, and finally died in 1462.
