For hundreds of years, people have been convinced of the records of the Ming Dynasty. Sharla Cheung used his life to protect the prince, which directly reflected Wan Guifei's power, ruthlessness and cowardice, and also reflected Ming Xianzong's fatuity and cowardice. But in fact, the Ming dynasty was really a fatuous emperor, and the harem was in charge of politics. Do loyal ministers need to die to defend the imperial power?
Sharla Cheung's genealogy was discovered in Fujian hundreds of years later, and the records in it subverted this history. Wan Guifei was a nanny in the palace in her early years. She is 17 years older than Ming Xianzong, and I don't know what means she used to make the emperor like her. Later, she rose all the way to the imperial concubine, and the greater her power, the greater her ambition. She wanted to monopolize the harem, so she designed not to let other concubines get pregnant. Pregnant women would force her to have an abortion and even prepare for it.
Wan Guifei's records in Ming Dynasty are really inaccurate. Ming Xianzong had 20 children, and the then Prince Zhu Huanjian was there. How could Sharla Cheung be surprised to say that the emperor had no children? According to the Ming History, Sharla Cheung came to exchange a civet cat for a prince, and rescued Ming Xiaozong unnoticed. It took several years to tell Ming Xianzong about it.
Wan Guifei was very angry when he learned this, and forced Ming Xiaozong's biological mother and Sharla Cheung to death. If the record is true, why is Ming Xianzong indifferent to this matter? You can't even protect your own son and wife. Over the years, scholars have read a lot of ancient books in order to find out. In Tongan County, Fujian Province, scholars discovered Zhang's genealogy, which recorded Zhang's death. In the Ming Dynasty, Sharla Cheung's death time was 1475, while in the genealogy, Sharla Cheung's death time was 1485.
In addition, scholars refer to Tongan county annals, and record that the time of Sharla Cheung's death is also 1485, while Sharla Cheung's official position in the Ming Dynasty is that he was a door supervisor, while Sharla Cheung's official position in the genealogy is that he was a eunuch of Silijian, which has a high position in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. From this, scholars infer that the records in Ming History distort history, and it is very likely that the Qing Dynasty tampered with the official history in order to vilify the Ming Dynasty. That's all for this issue. What do talented people think of this? Please leave a comment.
