明神宗时期的郑贵妃简介明朝权势至高的皇室成员
郑贵妃（1565年—1630年），原名郑梦境，出生于北直隶顺天府大兴县（今北京市大兴区）。她是明神宗朱翊钧的皇贵妃，也是明恭宗（即福忠王）朱常洵之母和明安宗（即弘光帝）朱由崧祖母。
万历九年（1581年），朝廷为备选九嫔，郑氏被册封为淑嫔。随后，她逐步晋封为德妃、贵妃，最终在万历十年三月成为皇贵妃，并宠冠后宫长达三十八年之久。她的儿子朱常洵曾被神宗有意立为太子，这导致了国本之争、妖书案、梃击案等一系列事件。
万历四十八年七月，神宗命礼部置办册立郑皇贵妃为皇后的典礼仪仗，但未能举行。崇祯三年，她去世，被追谥号恭恪惠荣和靖皇貴妃。在崇祯十七年的某个时候，其孙子朱由崧在南京践祚，并追尊祖母为孝宁温穆庄惠慈懿宪天裕圣太皇太后。
人物生平
初入宫闱
万历九年八月十二日，大婚几年的明神宗因“内职未备，储嗣未蕃”，命“愽选淑女以备侍御”，内阁首辅张居正查得嘉靖九年的旧例，上奏明神宗。八月十八日，明神宗敕礼部要求选择”年龄合适且品格优秀”的女子，并特意嘱咐“安静行事，不得因而骚扰”。
万历十年三月六日，明神宗御皇极殿传制册封九嫔，其中郑氏受册为淑嫔，位居第二位。当时她只有十五岁。她在《闺范图说》中提到，当时自己参加遴选淑女时的情况：“及其十有五年，躬逢圣母广嗣之恩，便备九嫔之选。”
宠冠后宫
从参选 九嫔进宫，一直到 明 神 宗 辞世 前 留 下 立 郑 皇 贵 妃 为 后 的 遗 言 恰 如 沈 德 符 所 言 三 十 八 年 矣。
万 刻 四 十 八 年 七 月 初 五 日 ， 郑 皇 贵 妃 生 下 皇 三 子 福 忠 王 朱 常 洵 大 喜 过 想 的 明 神 宗 命 取 太 储 银 十 五 万两用以庆祝小公主的新生。
同一年十一月二十七日 Zheng De Fei born next daughter, Ming Shen Zu big happy, not only named as Xuan Shi, but also asked to take the silver ten thousand taels from the grain warehouse and five thousand taels from the Silk Department to celebrate the birth of little princess.
同一年十二月二十九日 Zheng De Fei gave birth to a second son Jiao Yu Zhong died at birth. The next year's first month ninth day, Ming Shen Zu ordered that the second son be given the title of Prince of Bin.
This led to a series of events known as "the struggle for succession", where some officials suggested that Ming Shen Zu should marry his own sister or adopt an heir from another family in order to secure his legacy. However, these suggestions were met with opposition by other officials who believed that this would lead to moral decay and undermine Confucian values.
The issue was eventually resolved when Ming Shen Zu decided to name one of his sons as his successor. This decision was met with relief by many officials who had been worried about what might happen if there was no clear heir.
In conclusion, Zheng De Fei played an important role in shaping Chinese history during her time in court. Her influence on Ming Shen Zu is evident in how he treated her and their children after she became queen. Despite facing challenges such as infertility and competition for power within court politics, she managed to hold onto her position for nearly four decades before passing away peacefully at age seventy-five.
After her death, Zheng De Fei's memory lived on through her descendants who continued to serve China throughout history. She remains one of China's most beloved empresses due to her unwavering loyalty towards Emperor Shenzong and dedication towards ensuring peace within China during difficult times.
