Chapter 77: The Power of the Nanny
Last time, it was said that after Zhu Youxiao successfully succeeded to the throne, he ignored the government affairs, which led to the loss of power, the eunuchs' monopoly, political darkness, and the country's generals but no country. How sad.
The nanny "Keshi" of Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was originally named "Ke Yinyue", also known as "Keba", and was a native of Dingxing, Hebei Province. When she was a teenager, "Keshi" married "Hou Ba'er" in her hometown of Dingxing County
"As a wife, Hou Guoxing gave birth to a son. Not long after giving birth to his son, the eighteen-year-old "Hakka" entered the palace and became Zhu Youxiao's nanny.
"Book of Rites: Nei Principles" says: "If a child's room is in the palace, and the mother is willing to choose one, one must seek to be generous, kind and kind, gentle, respectful, prudent and taciturn, and make it the son's teacher. Secondly,
She is a loving mother, followed by a nanny, and they all live in the child's room. Others do not do anything. "" It shows that "nanny" also has a long history.
In the imperial courtyard, the emperor's home, concubines do not have to breastfeed themselves when they give birth to princes or princesses. There is a "Breast Palace" outside the palace, and there are dozens of young women waiting for selection all year round. Most of them are between fifteen and twenty years old.
Women who had just given birth and had sufficient milk supply supplemented their family income by breastfeeding the royal children and grandchildren.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the status of wet nurses is low, but once she was selected into the palace, she nursed the crown prince Longsun, and she became a "superior person" from then on.
The wet nurse will not be too old, but she will have a delicate appearance and rich milk supply. In the process of raising the prince, the prince, grandson and the wet nurse will easily develop a special relationship as time goes by.
Once the child who grew up on his own milk ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the wet nurse's status will rise rapidly, and it will also benefit future generations. This is why so many young women who have just given birth are trying to get into the palace.
Reason.
At first, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen was the son of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen. Due to Yingzong's "legendary life" ("Tumu Fort Incident", "Tumu Fort Incident"), Zhu Jianshen also experienced great ups and downs with the change of his father's identity.
He was made a prince at the age of five, deposed at the age of five, and was made a prince again at the age of ten.
When Zhu Jianshen was at the lowest point in his life, everyone around him left him. Only his nanny, a palace maid named Wan, stayed with him and took care of his daily life. And this nanny who was 17 years older than him "
Wan Zhen'er" became Zhu Jianshen's concubine after he ascended the throne.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the famous nanny "Wan Zhen'er", another nanny who went down in history was the nanny "Ke Shi" of Ming Xizong.
Because Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo was not favored by his father, Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong, he was not established as the prince for a long time. However, even after he was established as the prince, he was frightened and worried that he would be deposed at any time.
Therefore, in this fearful and precarious situation, Zhu Changluo had no time to pay attention to the growth of his son Zhu Youxiao. For a "sexy" person like him, the little time he had was better than sleeping with a few more women. This
As a result, Zhu Youxiao was not interested in his studies and was completely left alone.
Since Zhu Youxiao grew up in the arms of the "Hakka" family, his affection for the "Hakka family" is extraordinary and is stronger than that of his biological parents, which is natural.
However, some unofficial historians say that the relationship between Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, and his wet nurse "Hakka" was not a simple "wet nurse" and "nursing child". After all, the nannies of wealthy families in the old society, especially the old maids in the palace, also had to shoulder the responsibility of the royal children.
"Sexual Enlightenment" and "Sexual Education" are important tasks. After all, "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children."
Therefore, "Hakka" was probably Zhu Youxiao's "revolutionary mentor" who transformed from a "little boy" into a "big man" and an "enlightenment person" at important moments in his life.
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he named "Hakka" the "Holy Lady". As the emperor's "nanny", "Hakka" went to the Nuan Pavilion of "Qianqing Palace" to serve the emperor every morning. Then he returned to Xian'an Palace. In other words, the Hakka family was inseparable from Mingxi Zong during the day, and could only return to his residence at night.
There are also rumors that the wet nurse "Keshi" often cooked "dragon eggs" or horse testicles and gave them to Xizong to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, which was even rumored to be a scandal.
However, in February of the first year of Tianqi, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty got married and married Queen Zhang. The "censor" Bi Zuozhou and Liu Lan invited the "Hakka" to go abroad, and the great scholar Liu Yishui also said so. However, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty fell in love. Unable to bear the "Hakka" leaving, he said to the court officials: "The queen is young and I rely on my protection. We will discuss it after the emperor's funeral."
Therefore, "Wei Zhongxian" and "Hakka" were deeply trusted by Xizong, and no one in the harem dared to go against their will. Soon, "Hakka" left the palace and was summoned again. In the third year of Tianqi (1623 AD) , after Wei Zhongxian took charge of Dongchang, he used the power of the Eunuch Party to check and balance the prosperous "Donglin Party".
In fact, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty palace, the palace, maids, wet nurses, etc. should live in the "Xi Ersuo", but the "Hakka" was allowed to live in the "Xian'an Palace" as an exception, and went to the "Qianqing Palace" every morning "She took care of the emperor's daily life and food, and also provided "family meals" in her name, which was called "Old Lady's Family Meals."
It turns out that Zhu You, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, did not like the "steamed dragon and cooked phoenix" served in the royal dining room in the palace. He only liked the food cooked by "Hakka", especially the grilled clams, agar-agar, shark's fin, etc. More than a dozen kinds of seafood are stewed together. This may be because Zhu Youxiao has been accustomed to this kind of taste since he was a child.
There is a poem in "Tianqi Palace Ci" that says: "The high-ranking official cherishes his beautiful teeth, and the jade and food must come from the maternal family. I beg for more than 100 grams, and I fight for information, and I hold up my pearls and praise them." And "Hakka" He often stayed by Xizong's side, and there is also a poem that says: "Look at the hundreds of flowers evenly in front of the dragon, and the yellow beards of the brocade petals are in the morning. If the fragrance of heaven is not overwhelming the country, it can still rely on Lanpin." Therefore, the "Hakka" celebrates his birthday. At that time, Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, would definitely come to add to the fun and pay his respects.
"Only for the first time did I know how to protect my concubine and strive for the legacy of the golden mandarin duck. The rosy branches are everywhere, and the emperor's hand is not grateful." , weighing about twenty or thirty kilograms." The "Hakka" was afraid of the heat in summer, so he built a large pavilion in the "Xian'an Palace", and Emperor Xizong gave him constant ice.
"The wind pavilion is covered with layers of pine trees, and each family has its own unique style of heat. I know my heart is as cold as water, so I dare to beg the Heavenly Chef for ice." With the permission of Ming Xizong's "special edict", "Hakka" can be He could leave the palace and return to his private residence at any time. As the emperor's favorite "Hakka", Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty was in charge of all matters in the palace.
Therefore, whenever the "Hakka" returned home, he ordered the slaves and maids at home to call her "the nine-thousand-year-old old lady" and to greet her three times a day, saying "the old lady is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." !" If the domestic slaves and maids forget the time and fail to say hello, they will be beaten or even sold.
The Donglin Party members were worried about the interference of the "Hakka" in politics, so they suggested to Emperor Mingxizong of Tianqi in the court that the "Hakka" should be driven out of the palace as usual. However, at this time, the "Hakka" and "Wei Zhongxian" secretly formed an alliance to deal with the "Donglin Party" , "eating" each other, working together in collusion, blatantly colluding together, forming an invincible trend.
"Dui Shi" literally means two people eating face to face. In fact, in ancient times, it was specifically used to refer to the "homosexual" relationship between palace maids. It is equivalent to "grinding a mirror" and can also be used to refer to eunuchs and palace maids.
Improper "sexual relationship" between men and women, after all, both parties are very lonely and unbearable.
Therefore, this incident made Zhu Youxiao, one of the top two in the Mingxi clan, finally able to pass on the trouble of reviewing memorials, but in the end, it caused big trouble. Not only was his "nanny" hooking up with a "fake man"
He became an adulterer, and he had to use this "fake man" to control the government.
