Regarding the connection between the owner of Xunfengshan ancient tomb and Zhu Di, not only Chen Jing is thinking about it these days, but also Kong Xue is helping to check various information.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Jing think of it, she couldn't help but say curiously: "Husband, tell me quickly."

Chen Jing smiled and replied: "I don't know if it's right. It's just a guess that comes to mind because of what happened just now. After all, this matter itself is actually a historical mystery and is debated in the academic community."

After a moment of pause, he said seriously: "In history, there is a big mystery about Zhu Di, the Emperor Yongle, that is, who is his biological mother."

"Birth Mother?" Chen Jing next to him listened and couldn't help but say, "Isn't Zhu Di the biological son of Empress Ma?"

Chen Jing nodded and said, "Well, this statement is also supported by many people in the academic community. After all, this is the record in official history."

"However, some scholars have also studied and believed that the "mother" in the "fourth son of Taizu, the mother of Empress Xiaoci Gao" recorded in official history does not mean the biological mother, but only indicates that the mother-son relationship such as "legitimate mother" has nothing to do with true blood relationship."

"In other words, some scholars think that Empress Ma is just Zhu Di's legitimate mother, not his biological mother. This situation was not uncommon in ancient times. When a concubine had a son, she had to call her wife the mother, and if she was called her biological mother, she could only call her aunt or the like."

"The simplest example is in "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Tanchun, who was born in the concubine, had to call Mrs. Wang as her mother, and her biological mother, Zhao, the concubine, Zhao."

When Kong Xue heard this, she said, "But husband, Zhu Di herself doesn't say that his biological mother is Queen Ma?" In fact, she didn't know much about these historical details, and she only found out after helping to check the information during this period.

In fact, the fact that Empress Ma is Zhu Di’s biological mother is not only recorded in official history, but according to records, Zhu Di himself often says things like “My Empress Gao’s fourth son!”.

Such words undoubtedly mean to indicate that his biological mother was Empress Ma. In the context of the time, he said this not only emphasized who his biological mother was, but also emphasized his own bloodline. After all, as we all know, Zhu Di was not the throne he inherited from the throne, and even if he was an emperor, he actually did a good job as an emperor.

But even if he became the emperor of the ages, or even the emperor of the ages, history books will not record that he was inherited by the same order.

And the more this happens, Zhu Di himself cares about this, so he works hard to make himself an outstanding emperor, hoping that even if he is not the emperor who inherits the ranks, he is better than Zhu Yunwen as an emperor.

Of course, this was recognized in later generations, but at that time, besides being an emperor, Zhu Di also wanted to make up for the biggest "black spot" he was not inherited in the same way.

For example, is he born by the legitimate?

In ancient times, the legitimate and illegitimate sons were valued. Whether it was a royal inheritance or a royal family, the legitimate sons and illegitimate sons were completely different. This was not a successor. If they were still a prince of illegitimate sons, what would be the difference?

Therefore, many people think that Zhu Di often talks about Empress Ma's biological mother, which means that there is no silver here. After all, under normal circumstances, everyone knows who your biological mother is, what do you do if you say so much?

But Zhu Di always emphasized, so it sounds a bit guilty, so he emphasized, just like the saying goes, "Whatever is missing is to show off." Zhu Di is the biological mother of Empress Ma, so he has to emphasize it desperately, and even tamper with historical records.

Some of the historians in charge of recording may not be so backbone. If you tamper with history, I would rather die, but they also have their own persistence, that is, to use the Spring and Autumn style.

"The fourth son of Taizu, his mother, Empress Xiaoci Gao." This sentence seems normal, but wouldn't it be better if you add a 'life'? But it didn't add it, which gave future generations room for doubt and research.

It is obviously just a word "生", so it is not difficult to add.

Chen Jing also expressed the research and speculations of some scholars.

After hearing this, Kong Xue couldn't help but nodded and said, "If you think about it this way, it really seems like Zhu Di is guilty, so he deliberately emphasized that his biological mother is Empress Ma."

Empress Ma was the most famous queen in the entire Ming Dynasty, not only because she was the empress of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor, but also because she was the empress who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang from the last to the rule of the world. Her status and influence in the hearts of civil and military officials and even the common people throughout the Ming Dynasty were different.

Therefore, it is the son of Empress Ma and even a direct descendant. This represents not only a simple matter of being a legitimate identity, but is easier to be recognized by civil and military officials and even the common people.

Don't think this is outrageous, it was really the case in ancient times.

At this time, Shen Jing next to him said, "Since the scholar thinks that Zhu Di is not Empress Ma's biological son, then he must have also studied who his biological mother might be?"

Chen Jingying said: "Yes, there are some."

After a brief pause, he said: "Some scholars say that the Taichang Temple officials in charge of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty had written the "Nanjing Taichang Temple Chronicle", which records the arrangement of the gods of Xiaoling Mausoleum."

"The gods in the middle are naturally Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. The first ranking on the left is Concubine Shu Li, and the first ranking on the right is Concubine Zhu. The reason for this sorting is very simple. Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, and the Li family can rank first ranking on the left because she gave birth to three sons, Zhu Biao, Prince Yiwen, King Min of Qin, and King Gong of Jin, so she successfully ranked first on the left."

"The concubine of the first place on the right is a little strange. First of all, she has a title. For example, Concubine Shu Li, her title also has a surname, but this concubine of the concubine of the first place on the right only has a title but no surname."

"According to some legends, this concubine is said to be a woman who paid tribute to Goryeo, so she has no surname. She is actually a peerless beauty. She was very favored by Zhu Yuanzhang when she was young. Since she was favored and young, it is impossible for her to have no children."

"But in history, there is no record of the descendants of concubines, so some scholars think that Zhu Di was born by Concubine Wang and Zhu Yuanzhang. The basis for this speculation is the sorting of the spiritual positions."

"The placement of the gods in ancient times was strictly based on their identity, so the concubine Shu Li was ranked first on the left. The concubine who didn't even have a surname could be ranked first on the right must have made considerable contributions to Li in some aspects. The reason why she could be ranked first on the right is probably that the child she gave birth to has a prominent position, which just corresponds to Zhu Di."
