Zhu Shitang is the only emperor in the history of China who practiced equality between men and women with practical actions. He only married a queen Zhang in his life, never married a maid-in-waiting, and never married a lady or a beautiful woman. It is not easy for him to live with the queen every day and live a husband-and-wife life like ordinary people.
Xiaowen and Queen Zhang are friends in need and loving couples. Judging from his education, he also knew very early that if he wants to be a good emperor, he can't love beauty and waste the country.
They must sleep together every day, read poems and paintings, listen to the piano and watch dances, talk about the past and discuss the present, and be with * * * *. This casual move has created a special record through the ages, and it is also one of the evidences of Zhu Shitang as a wise king.
It is precisely because Xiaozong insisted on pampering only the queen that he became the only unique example of husband and wife buried together in the tombs of emperors in past dynasties, adding a lot of bright colors to his life of being a wise monarch and a wise master.

Zhu Youtang only empresses said:
Zhang (1470- 154 1 year), a native of Hebei. His father is Zhang Luan and his mother is Jin. In February of the 23rd year of Chenghua, Zhang was elected as the Crown Princess; 10 month, he was made queen.
Filial piety loves the queen deeply, has no concubines, and lives together in the emperor's harem, such as folk couples. Xiaozong was kind to his consorts because of Queen Zhang, and named his father-in-law Zhang Luan as Chang Gong, his wife and brother as Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou.
The wife and brother are arrogant, and officials often give advice. Filial piety tries to mediate for them. After Wu Zong ascended the throne, he severely hit his uncle's arrogance. Since Wu Zong died childless, the records of Zhang Taihou and Yang Tinghe decided to establish Wang Shizi and Zhu Houzong as new monarchs, namely Jiajing Emperor, which triggered a heated discussion for birthright.
After Jiajing's victory, he retaliated against Zhang Taihou, using killing his brother as an excuse. Zhang Taihou's tragic death greatly reduced the funeral. Posthumous title Xiao Su Zhuang praised the Queen of Shengjing. In the first year of Hong Guang (1645), filial piety was changed to Su Jing Zhuang Ci Yi Zhetian Yizan Shengjing Queen.
