Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

In the picture, Zhang has gradually become the focal point of the power center from an ignorant girl.

In the city of Beiping, she was leading a group of women in military uniform to help the wounded.

Facing Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops under the city, he used his wisdom and talents to mobilize the entire people of Beiping to rise up and resist.

In the end, by suggesting to Zhu Gaochi, he successfully planted the seeds of surrender in Li Jilong's heart.

After Zhu Gaochi's death, a generation of empresses of the Ming Dynasty was even more stable in the face of danger. In the power vortex of Beiping City, an excellent plan was staged, which successfully made the transition of the Ming Dynasty.

This image of a firm woman made Zhang completely recognized by Zhu Di

"I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to have such merit."

Empress Wu Zetian of a generation saw this, and nodded secretly: "The Zhang family I watched in the video is indeed a rare and worthy empress. Just Zhu Gaochi's performance after his death can be said to be remarkable."

"Contributing to the country, he was able to persuade the emperor not to use his relatives. This kind of mind and responsibility is enough to win the approval of countless people in the court."

Empress Dou of the Han Dynasty also nodded in praise: "In later dynasties, such a woman can indeed be called a good queen of the previous generation. Facing the temptation of imperial power, not only did she not have the slightest idea, but she was able to transfer power smoothly without leaving any hesitation. Heart, rare in the world."

Lu Zhi sneered: "I have never seen such a temperamental person. The Ming dynasty probably has been around for a long time, but it is also Daming's blessing that such a woman was born in Daming."

As the only feudal dynasty after the Ming Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said to Kangxi while watching the video: "Your Majesty, there is a reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to occupy the Central Plains for so long. I feel that it is very incomparable.”

Emperor Kangxi said: "Grandmother said that such a woman is indeed a good queen, but if compared with you, grandma, she is still much worse."

"If she is a virtuous empress, then my grandmother is my Dinghaishenzhen in the Qing Dynasty."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was angry in his heart, he couldn't stop nodding when he saw this: "Fearless in times of danger, quick-witted and adaptable, this woman is worthy of being a descendant of the Ming family."

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the greatest wealth left to the Ming Dynasty is that the candidates must come from the people.

And this ancestral system has been fully realized in front of Zhang.

If Mrs. Zhang invites credit and rewards, I believe Zhu Gaochi will definitely make her No. 1 relative.

But Mrs. Zhang did not do this. In the final analysis, it was her intelligence, and at the same time, it was also the real reason why she was able to serve as the royal family for so many years and was respected.

The video is still playing slowly:
"After Zhu Zhanji's death, the Zhang family once had the idea of ​​making Zhu Zhanqian the emperor, but she finally let Zhu Qizhen ascend the throne smoothly."

"At that time, the officials of the Ming Dynasty asked Zhang to listen to the government behind the curtain, but was rejected. The reason given by Zhang was that "the emperor Taizu had established the ancestral system, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.You let me listen to the government behind the curtain, which is not in line with the law of the ancestors."

"The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty chose the next best thing. On behalf of the cabinet, Yang Shiqi asked Zhang Sheng, Zhang's outstanding younger brother, to join the auxiliary government team. Zhang Sheng was extremely capable, but in the end he was rejected by the Zhang family. Zhang Sheng's unrivaled talent was due to his status as a foreign relative. And was buried."

"The Zhang family respects the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. Look at the Zhang family, and then look at the old Cixi. Cixi is really weak."

"In order to maintain Zhu Qizhen's rule, and for the Zhu family's imperial power not to fall to others, the Zhang family began to adopt the method of cooperating with the cabinet and eunuchs."

"Although Mrs. Zhang does not listen to the government behind the curtain, she has always held the decision-making power. When the situation in Daming is unclear, Mrs. Zhang turned the central operation of Daming into a palace. This is the monopoly of all power."

"Only by monopolizing power can Da Ming survive the special years smoothly and then hand over power smoothly after Zhu Qizhen becomes an adult. Otherwise, the entire Ming Dynasty will become the center of power controlled by the outer court, and the emperor will become a puppet."

"She dared to break the rules, and possessed unparalleled courage and means. The most commendable thing was that the entire Ming Dynasty supported her at that time."

"Women can achieve such achievements in the world of men, which can even be said to be rare in feudal and imperial society."

"As for Wang Zhen, the eunuch who was once arrogant in Ming Dynasty, although he had power over the government, he never dared to be domineering in front of her."

"Because of Zhang's policy, a solid foundation has been laid for Renxuan Shengshi."

This video sparked a discussion in the Plane Dynasty.

Empress Ma also sighed: "Giving such a stall to a woman can ensure the smooth transition of our Zhu family. It is really rare and precious."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Even if I see such a stall, I will have a headache, but although Zhang has guaranteed the transfer of power, his behavior is still too rigid. Sometimes, tough methods may have better results."

In another plane, Zhu Di was slightly angry. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who expanded the territory and boasted of martial arts and martial arts, he would not allow his descendants to appear in such a weak situation.

"The majestic Son of Heaven is so weak that everything needs to be decided by the women in the harem. Is it true that my descendants are like this?"

"Benevolence proclaims prosperity? Hmph, I think the so-called prosperity is supported by a woman. Is this the case for all emperors in all dynasties? Or is it only the children of my royal family in Ming Dynasty that this happens."

Zhu Di was worried about whether his policy of choosing the prince was wrong.

Throughout the dynasties, although the princes are inherited by the eldest son, some are indeed different.

Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and even Ming Dynasty.It was through the baptism of blood that a new throne was established.Of course, the Sui Dynasty was the court that died in the second generation.

But the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty are indeed the most legendary dynasties in history.

"Does it mean that only princes who are released outside can get the favor of heaven?"

"Do I really need to change my strategy for choosing the prince?"

"As the empress of Ming Renzong, Mrs. Zhang has seen the great talents of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di since she was a child."

"So when Renzong succeeded to the throne, Mrs. Zhang warned Renzong to stop buying and rehabilitate wrongdoing, pay tribute to property, and benefit the people from the pond."

"The Zhang family once told Renzong: stop the army to support the people, stop the treasure ships sailing to the west, and stop the royal purchase of jewelry and other behaviors. These practices eased social conflicts, the people were able to recuperate, productivity was developed, and a stable and prosperous era opened. .”

"The Zhang family is even more good at promoting talents. The Cabinet Scholars Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu, and Yang Rong are in charge of the government, all under the instruction of the Zhang family."

In the dynasty of Renxuan, the Ming Dynasty ruled the North, the West, the South Island, and the West. There was no marriage between the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no currency for the Song Dynasty, and no ceremony for brothers and enemies.

"During the period when the Zhang family was in power, the Yongle Dadian collected by the Ming Dynasty continued to be compiled. This book collected [-] kinds of books from ancient times to the present, and sorted out the vast literature from the pre-Qin period to the Ming Dynasty."

"Including astronomy, geography, science and technology, medicine, yin and yang, and monkhood."

"It is the first recognized encyclopedia in Chinese history."

"At the same time, on the basis of the previous dynasty, the Zhang family made adjustments to the civil service policy."

"Advocate frugality and practice it personally. There is a drought in the world. After Zhang plays in the morning, Zhang Hou will give his opinions in the evening. Never sit idly by."

"During the period when Zhang was in power, the politics was clear, the law was strict, the economy was developed, the warehouses were full, the people lived in peace, the society was stable, and there was a sign of peace, which formed the peaceful landscape of the country and the people in the early Ming Dynasty. The "Chengkang Reign" of the Zhou Dynasty, the "Wenjing Reign" of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhenguan Reign of the Tang Dynasty."

"This is the basic trajectory of the entire life of the Ming Dynasty's virtuous empresses."

The video played here, and a voiceover appeared on the platform.

With the successive appearances of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the music sounded slowly.

"There are 16 famous emperors in one dynasty, and the Zhang family personally experienced six emperors."

"But the six emperors were all short-lived. This should be due to the innate physique carried in the genes of the Zhu family."

"And in the later generations of Ming Dynasty, there were many strange things. There were carpenter emperors, craftsman emperors, and emperors who had not been in court for more than ten years, but there were also emperors who hanged Meishan and did not use Shanhaiguan's elite soldiers for the sake of the festival. .”

"This may not only be the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty, but also the tragedy of all Chinese dynasties."
