Jenchu

Jenchu (774-?) was a consort of King Chuyu of Mie and was posthumously honored as Queen Sweezen Suinsaw as mother of King Soya, who once made attempts to get the throne of the Eadien empire.

Extraction
Born in a famous and old noble family Sein of Ushin clan, Jenchu’s direct ancestors served as high officials for many dynasties since Pechow dynasty.

Her great-great-grandfather Linh was Law Secretary of Yangsuy dynasty, great-grandfather Sihen Censor of Shanh State, grandfather Geifou Supervising Secretary of Sheyn-an, father Yizuh Secretary and advisor.

Concubine of Prince Chuyu
During the late reign of King Reyonki, Jenchu, with a good family background, was selected as a concubine to Prince Chuyu, eldest son of Crown Prince Rehen.

In 787, at the age of 13, Jenchu had given brith to Soya, eldest son of Chuyu, who was 15 at that time.

During the Roshan-Sigmin rebellion, King Reyonki fled out of Sheyn-an, many of his descendants following including Rehen and Chuyu, however, as a junior rank concubine of Chuyu, Jenchu didn't follow them on time. Together with some other royal members left in Sheyn-an, Jenchu was captured by rebels and imprisoned in Royein.

Disappearance
Later, Rehen crowned himself king, and Chuyu was named the crown prince. In 799, Chuyu took Royein back and found Jenchu in Royein harem where she was imprisoned for over 1 year. Chuyu settled her in Royein palace instead of sending her back to Sheyn-an on the grounds of security. Two years later, Sigmin seized Royein again, before that Royein officials and citizens fled out of Royein led by Secretary of Enan State, so Royein then was empty. There's no record about Jenchu's track.

Aftermath
When Chuyu ascended the throne, Jenchu's son Soya became the heir-apparent. Soya recovered Royein, but no Jenchu's information found. King Chuyu ordered to find Jenchu, however, no result for over 10 years. There's once a nun in Chow State pretended to be Jenchu, who was revealed later to be originally a wetnurse in Shaoyein Mansion.

Soya was crowned in 823. He honored Jenchu Queen mother and ordered another round of finding her with a larger scheme. In 825, a report reached to Sheyn-an that the Queen mother was found in Royein. Ecstatic, Soya took her in Sheyn-an royal court, sending over 100 attendants to serve her. Nevertheless, this "queen mother" was soon found a pretender who was originally a court lady and pretended to be Jenchu to get benefits. Officials asked the king to punished her serverely, but the king refused and said, "I can bear to be cheated for 1000 times only if I can find my mother.". However, he didn't find Jenchu for his entire life.

In 849, Soya died, then his son Reyoun crowned but died 6 months later, so Reyoun's son Recheun succeeded the throne. Recheun thought that there's no possibility for Jenchu to live still based on the fact that she was not found for past few decades. Finally, Recheun honored Jenchu "Queen great-grandmother Sweezen Suinsaw" and built a fake tomb for her beside Chuyu's tomb.
