Since Judy ascended the throne, there has been controversy about who is Ming's biological mother. However, at that time, due to the situation, this argument was only passed down from mouth to mouth among the people, but this problem has not been solved for hundreds of years.
On the contrary, it has become more chaotic as time goes by. After hundreds of years of discussion and textual research, people have the following four opinions on Judy's biological mother.
One is the filial piety queen, that is, Ma Xiuying, queen Bigfoot, Zhu Yuanzhang's original wife. This statement is basically recorded by the official authority, and it is recorded in official history books, such as Records of Emperor Taizong, Records of Emperor Taizong and Stories of Jing Nan. Ming dynasty.
According to Jingnan's deeds, "The high queen gave birth to five sons, the crown prince Chang, the second son Bei, the second son Tong and the second son Ding." The "second time" here refers to the fourth son of Queen Gao. Judy has said many times that "I am the fourth son of the high queen".
The History of the Ming Dynasty in Qing Dynasty was compiled. He said that "there is a filial piety and a high queen, which is the same as that of Emperor Xingzong", while Zhu Haoyang compiled tombs of past dynasties for reference, saying: "After birth, there are princes, kings of Taiqi, Tong Wang and Wang". According to the official records of Ming Dynasty, Judy was the fourth son of Ma Huanghou.
It can be seen that the statement that the mother of Ming Chengzu is Ma Huanghou comes down in one continuous line in the official history. However, according to folklore, Ma Huanghou was infertile. The fourth son of Prince Zhu Biao and Prince Judy was not her own son, but was born to the concubines in the palace, and she took them as her own.
The second one is "Princess Won" Li. Xianfei is a beauty in North Korea. She is beautiful and deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. The main basis for saying that she is the Ming mother is the chronicle of Nanjing Taichang Temple. Taisi Temple is an institution that manages sacrificial rites and music in Ming Dynasty, and the Royal Ancestral Hall is responsible for sacrificial ceremonies.
According to the Records of Taichang Temple, "Xiaoling Mausoleum is dedicated to Emperor Gaozu and Empress Ma Shi. On the left is Li, born to the prince, the king of Qin and the king of Jin. The two left concubines were King Chu, King Lu, King Dai, King Ying, King Qi, King Shu, King Gu, King Tang, King Yi and King Tan. Three concubines from the left.
Xiang, Su Wangwang, Han Wangwang, Shen Wangwang; Four noble emperors gave birth to Liao Wang; The left five emperors gave birth to King Ning and King An; On the right, an imperial concubine, Wen Zu, was born. "This book is an important document in charge of the royal ancestral temple sacrifice, which is of great significance in the royal family, because its records should have high authenticity.
In addition, Shen Xuanhua of Ming Dynasty wrote in the 14th rhyme of "Chronicle of Salute in Fengxian Hall of Du Nan": "The high queen lives in heaven, and the imperial god lives in it. All the concubines are in the east, and the only concubine is in the west. Cheng Zuzhong was born, you can't be brave. " This means that Princess Qi's spiritual status is placed in the west alone, and she stands out from other concubines because she is her biological mother.
This view has been supported by many scholars in later generations. After careful research and textual research, historians such as Wu Han believe that the biological mother is Princess Li.
Third, Yuan Shundi's concubine, Hongjila's. It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang captured Beijing, Yuan Shundi fled to the north. Zhu Yuanzhang came to Yuan Shundi's harem and found a beautiful woman with deep affection and admiration in her eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and took her as his concubine.
This beautiful woman is Yuan Shundi's third general, Hongjilanov, the daughter of a Latokoto named Hongjilanov. At this time, Hong Jila's family was pregnant, adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and gave birth to a boy, namely Ming Taizu Judy. In this way, Ming Taizu Judy is not born to the queen, nor the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, but the posthumous child of Yuan Shundi!
However, according to the records of Shang Dynasty, most of the Yuan Dynasty fell in 28 years, namely 1368, while Ming Taizu was born in 20 years, namely 1360, with a difference of seven or eight years. Therefore, there are too many loopholes in this statement, which is probably a rumor circulating among the people.
The fourth one belongs to a Mongolian woman. There is such a record in Yang Guang Miscellanies in Qing Dynasty: "Ming Chengzu is not a stepmother. His mother Weng is a Mongolian. She is the princess of Yuan Shundi, so she keeps her secret. There are other temples in the palace where gods are enshrined in the world, but they are not Zongbo, and there are emcees who speak for Gong Pengan.
Less, every time I smell Yan, I always say so, and now I believe it. It means not a son, but the son of your concubine's daughter Weng. In order to avoid this, there is no record in the history books.
However, Yang Guang Miscellaneous Notes was originally an anecdote book. Liu Xianting, the author, also said that this is an ancient legend he heard, but he didn't point out the exact basis. This may be another version of Hongjila's story, so it is not credible.
In this way, Judy's biological mother Ming Chengzu focused on Ma Huanghou and his wife Li Qi, which is also the focus of controversy at present. So which one is true? Although the first statement comes from the official history of Taizong, the official history of Taizong and the history of Ming Dynasty, most scholars think it is unreliable because Judy ordered the revision of the national history.
This is because Judy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stole the world from his nephew, his emperor Zhu Yun. When Judy cut off his captaincy because of his emperor, he began to oppose his emperor Peiping under the banner of "frontier of the Qing army". Four years later, he finally captured Nanjing and ascended the throne, which is known as the battle of Jingnan in history.
After Judy acceded to the throne, she repeatedly claimed that she was from Ma Huanghou, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and ordered two revisions to Mao's memoirs, but it was difficult to tell her story and jade died. It was written at the instigation of Judy, and the History of Ming Dynasty in Qing Dynasty followed these records.
However, Ming Chengzu's order, though powerful, could not restrict foreign records. In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, North Korean envoys recently visited the Prince of Yan in Beijing. Later, it was recorded in the book that the birth mother's death date was July 15 and August 10.
With this conclusion, Judy's mother is obviously not Ma Huanghou. In addition, after Judy ascended the throne, she built Da Hong Zhi in Nanjing, claiming to repay Ma Huanghou's upbringing. But the main hall door of the temple is often closed, and outsiders can't see inside. It is said that it is actually dedicated to princess Li. From this point of view, the birth mother of the Ming emperor Judy is probably the Korean princess Lee, which is what most scholars say.
