Where did Sun Shi immigrate from Yongqing, Hebei?

The recently hit TV series "Daming Fenghua" is a costume drama set in the Ming Dynasty, which mainly tells the story of romantic love with Sun and Sun's experience of five emperors and six dynasties. According to the plot, Sun's historical prototype is the second empress Sun.

As the first queen of Zhu Zhanji, Hu Shanxiang in TV series gives us the impression that she is scheming and will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. However, in history, Hu Shanxiang is a virtuous queen who is famous for her virtue. She is honest and kind, and her manners are solemn. It's just that we all know that Hu Shanxiang's status as queen did not last long. When the imperial concubine Sun Shi gave birth to her eldest son, Zhu Zhanji ordered Hu Shanxiang to resign as queen on the grounds that she was childless and sickly, and later made the imperial concubine Sun Shi queen.

At that time, the queen was the mother of a country, which was of great significance. The queen's accession to the throne and removal from office are both important events related to the country. Zhu Zhanji's move not only shocked the ruling and opposition parties, but also created a precedent after the abolition of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is not difficult to see that the reason for deposing "childless and sickly" is far-fetched, so why did Zhu Zhanji insist on deposing Hu Shanxiang regardless of public opposition?

In the fifteenth year of Yongle, Judy began to choose her granddaughter Zhu Zhanji, his favorite grandson. He ordered the four celestial officials to observe the celestial phenomena. The conclusion given by Si Tianguan is that "it is appropriate to seek between rivers", that is, to choose between water and the Yellow River. Hu Rong, a hundred members of Royal Guards, was born in Jining, Shandong Province, and her third daughter Hu Shanxiang was selected by Judy.

Hu Shanxiang's family is ordinary, his father is only a hundred royal guards, and the Prince's House is full of talents, so Hu Shanxiang is cautious everywhere. Judy chose Hu Shanxiang to be her great-grandson's concubine, more for the sake of national stability and bearing children for Zhu Zhanji, but just like the routine in the novel, Hu Shanxiang's personality did not get Zhu Zhanji's favor.

Zhu Zhanji has a cheerful personality and is a man of temperament. He rides horses, shoots arrows, throws pots, plays polo and so on, and especially likes cricket fighting. Pu Songling mentioned at the beginning of "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio Promoting Weaving": Xuande, the palace is still promoting weaving and recruiting people at the age of 18. As the saying goes, "The good in the world is not as good as the bad in the world", and the cricket fighting is getting stronger and stronger. Ministers are looking around for good-looking crickets to please Zhu Zhanji, which makes the price of crickets soar.

Zhu Zhanji, who is so cheerful and playful, naturally doesn't like passive and cautious Hu Shanxiang.

Facing the indifference, Hu Shanxiang tried to change the status quo by pleasing her mother-in-law. As a result, although Zhang likes her very much and sympathizes with her, she still can't be liked.

In Yongcheng, Henan, there was a little girl who was famous for her beauty since she was a child. Her father's name is Zhong Sun, and he is the accounting director of Yongcheng County, Henan Province. Coincidentally, my grandmother, Mrs. Peng, is also from Yongcheng, Henan Province. When she first met Sun Shi, she thought the little girl was white, beautiful and virtuous, and she could marry Zhu Zhanji as her wife in the future.

In this way, the 10-year-old was taken to the Prince's Mansion and given to his mother, the then Crown Princess Zhang.

Zhu Zhanji likes this new sister at home very much. They grew up together and gradually cultivated deep feelings.

In the fifteenth year of Yongle, Judy began to choose the great-grandson princess for Zhu Zhanji. He thought that Sun Shi, a childhood sweetheart, was the first choice for the Crown Princess. Unexpectedly, after the Sitianguan incident, Hu Shanxiang became a great-grandson princess. As a result, Sun Shi can only get the identity of a great-grandson's wife.

Although Sun Shi didn't become a wife, she didn't complain, which made Zhu Zhanji more sympathetic to her and their feelings deepened.

In the first year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji acceded to the throne. Twenty-six days later, he announced that his mother Zhang was the Empress Dowager, Hu was the Queen, and she was the imperial concubine. According to the ritual system, the conferring of the queen is to give the golden book and treasure, while the imperial concubine and the following books have no treasure, but Zhu Zhanji is not satisfied. He specially asked Zhang Taihou for instructions, and specially gave the golden treasure to Sun Shi. In this way, with the efforts of Zhu Zhanji, Sun Shi almost enjoyed the same courtesy as the Queen.

Because Hu Shanxiang is the wife chosen by Zhu Zhanji's grandfather Judy, Zhu Zhanji no longer likes her, and there is no reason to depose her, but judging from Zhu Zhanji's performance, the position of his inner queen has always belonged to Sun Shi.

From the 15th year of Yongle's marriage to Zhu Zhanji's succession, Hu Huanghou gave birth to daughters Princess Shunde and Princess Yongqing, and Sun Shi gave birth to daughter Princess Changde, but never gave birth to a son. Until the second year of Xuande in November, Sun Shi gave birth to Zhu Zhanji's eldest son, Zhu Qizhen, which made Zhu Zhanji ecstatic. On the same day, she announced an amnesty for the whole world, exempting one-third of the taxes next year.

When the prince was 80 days old, with the help of ministers and Hu Huanghou, Zhu Zhanji issued a decree to make the eldest son of the emperor a prince. As the saying goes, "A mother depends on her children", Zhu Zhanji thinks that since Sun Shi's son has become a prince, Sun Shi should also enjoy the same honor.

So Zhu Zhanji called Zhang Fu, Zhou Yi, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and other ministers to discuss the abolition.

As a result, these ministers lost their enthusiasm when they asked for a prince. One of them, Yang Shiqi, said, "When I served the emperor, I still served my parents. Would it be better to talk about abolishing mothers for children? "

Despite the ministers' disapproval, Zhu Zhanji finally got the chance. He said he would give up. How could he give up? At Zhu Zhanji's repeated request, Yang Shiqi, a senior minister, made a suggestion: let Hu Huanghou resign himself.

In this way, in the third year of Xuande, Hu Huanghou abdicated and retired to Chang 'an Palace, and Zhu Zhanji named him "Jing Ci Shi Xian". On the first day of March, the imperial concubine Sun Shi was made queen.

Hu Huanghou was abolished without fault, which caused an uproar in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that he is under great pressure: Hu Shanxiang was personally selected by his grandfather, strongly opposed by his mother Zhang, and not supported by ministers. Hu Shanxiang is innocent.

However, Zhu Zhanji pushed his way through the crowd and made his childhood friend Sun Shi the queen. This is because he has deep and pure feelings for Sun Shi and wants to give her everything that an emperor can give his beloved woman.
