The most faithful emperor in history, only one person in his life

The love story between Emperor Minh Anh Tong and Empress Hieu Trang Due can be called the most complicated story in Chinese history.

Minh Anh Tong is considered by posterity to be a loyal and affectionate king, especially to his first wife. Although she later became sick and disabled, Minh Anh Tong still kept the throne for her and treated her with more affection. Even before he left, he ordered her to be buried with her in the same mausoleum.

That woman was Queen Hieu Trang Due or Former Empress, the only empress of Emperor Minh Anh Tong. Former Empress, hailing from Hai Chau region, had a father who was a martial mandarin of the Chinh Second rank. In the spring of the 7th Orthodox year (1442), Tien Thi passed the entrance exam to the palace and was chosen as Empress when she was 15 years old.

The great ordination ceremony was quickly performed with great solemnity; As for the king, having a wife who was intelligent and well-mannered was very happy. The two lived happily ever after, happily married.

Once, Minh Anh Tong suddenly noticed that the Empress's family only held fairly trivial and unimportant official positions. So he wanted to promote and title some members of the Tien Thi family so that the Empress could raise her eyebrows. But when the king mentioned this to the queen, the queen immediately refused.

She said that, in the family, no one has made a great contribution to the court or has outstanding talent to deserve the title. Later, the king also repeated this a few more times, and each time the Queen refused; through that, Anh Tong understood more about her heart and her fair and righteous character. The Emperor's love - After that, it became deeper and more intimate.

In the 14th year of Orthodoxy, the leader of the Ngoa Lat tribe of Mongolia massively entered the Ming territory, King Minh Anh Tong personally led the army to the battle, leaving his younger brother Chu Ky Ngoc to stay and defend the capital. In this "Tho Moc Incident", Emperor Minh Anh Tong was taken prisoner by the Mongols.

The former empress at that time was so sad, she locked herself up in the harem day after day, kneeling before the Buddha, sincerely begging her husband to return safely. The winter with the severe cold made the First Empress's health deteriorate to the point of losing a leg and blinding an eye when she was only 24 years old.

After many events, Minh Anh Tong was finally handed over to the Ming dynasty by the Mongols. But at this time, the court had a new king, so Minh Anh Tong was taken to prison in the Southern palace.

When the Queen saw this, she moved to the South Palace to live with her husband. The two of them went through hardships together, even at one time, Tien Thi had to sell embroidery to make a living.

Until Minh Anh Tong regained the throne, although her eyes were blind, her legs were paralyzed and she could not give birth to a son, Tien Thi was once again ordained by the king to be queen. Her iron heart, her loyalty makes Minh Anh Tong very precious even though she is disabled.

But life is still very difficult when it comes to death, these two people are still not together. In the 8th year of Thien Thuan, King Minh Anh Tong died, and the former Queen, because she was so sad, also passed away a few years later.

Before his death, King Minh Anh Tong issued an edict that after Tien Thi's death, he would take the name of the queen and bury him in the same mausoleum. However, after the death of the former empress, the empress dowager Zhou, out of jealousy, did not obey the will of the first emperor, trying to find ways to make the tomb of Tien Thi forever not clear with her husband's grave.
