Chapter 75: When the country is about to perish, evildoers will rise (Part 2)

Last time, we talked about urging the carpenter to go to Fang Congzhe's office and others, but they didn't know that old man Fang was competing with the emperor and almost made criticism of the current situation.

At this time, Li Kezhuo, the "Cheng of Honglu Temple", presented the "red pill", saying that the medicine was miraculous and had immediate effects. The "lust-addicted" Mingguangzong was cautious at first and wanted to try one pill.

After getting energetic, he repeatedly praised the person who donated the medicine as a "loyal minister". This is "self-inflicted evil - you will not survive"!

Zhu Changluo thought to himself that since he was interested, he might as well hold on a little longer. Maybe he could still enjoy a moment of carefree happiness. Even death would be worth it. After all, as the saying goes, "A person dies under flowers and becomes a ghost in a romantic way!" That night, he took another pill.

, the next morning, the chamberlain found that the emperor's hands and feet were cold and he had passed away.

According to "Records of the Ming Dynasty", this red pill is not mysterious. It is made from the menstrual water of a girl's menstrual period and some large tonic materials. Moreover, some heavy metals such as lead and mercury were added by "evil Taoists", which is similar to "

"Wu Shi San", to put it bluntly, is an aphrodisiac used by the royal family, and was mass-produced during the Jiajing period.

However, it is a big taboo to use it on people who purge fire at this time, especially those who are weak. They purge fire while taking supplements, which is both ice and fire! How could Zhu Changluo, who is already weak, withstand such a situation?

It only takes one night before you can no longer see it anymore. After all, the biggest frustration in the human body is ejaculation.

The cabinet ministers headed by the "Dongli Party" all believed that what happened was too strange, and Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo definitely had ulterior motives and could not escape their involvement. Because after the scandal was exposed, someone even instigated the "Dongli Party" behind the scenes.

, let him directly point the finger at Cui and Li's master - Concubine Zheng.

In the early morning of August 29, Guangzong Zhu Changluo passed away at the age of 38. Although Emperor Guangzong died because of the "Red Pill Case", the battle in the palace did not stop, because it was related to the upcoming crown prince Zhu Youxiao.

That is to say, Ming Xizong has a great connection, which has caused all forces in the DPRK and China to compete for him.

The biological mother of Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was a Wang family. During the Wanli Dynasty, she was the "chosen attendant" of the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo, that is, a woman who specially slept with the emperor at night. The number was not 3,000 but 5,000, and she had no status, only equal to

She was a "senior palace maid", but later she got better and gave birth to a son.

In the 32nd year of Wanli (1604 AD), Zhu Changluo's biological mother, Wang, was promoted to the position of "talented person". Finally, her status was much higher than that of ordinary palace maids, and she could openly admit that she was the emperor's "woman" in front of the world.

After all, with the "conjugal status", they also have a place among the three thousand beauties in the harem. Coincidentally, on the 14th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar in the 33rd year of Wanli (1605 AD), Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao was successfully born

Already.

However, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli (1619 AD), Zhu Youxiao's mother Wang died due to a palace battle. Thinking that his grandson Zhu Youxiao was still underage, Emperor Shenzong Wanli Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty asked the crown prince Zhu Changluo's "

Choosing the attendant "Li" to raise Zhu Youxiao.

However, there were two "chosen attendants" named Li at that time. In order to distinguish them, they were sometimes called "Dong Li" and "Xi Li", and the one who took care of Zhu Youxiao was "Xi Li".

Because his father Zhu Changluo, Emperor Taichang and Mingguang Zong of Ming Dynasty, was not favored by his grandfather Zhu Yijun, Emperor Wanli of Ming Shenzong, Zhu Youxiao was neglected since he was a child. It was not until the death of Emperor Wanli that he left a will and registered it.

He was the "emperor's grandson", which paved the way for Zhu Youxiao to become emperor in the future.

Although Zhu Youxiao's biological mother "Wang Cairen" was in a higher position than "Li Xuanshi", she was so favored by "Li Xuanshi" that she was humiliated by "Li Xuanshi" and died. Before her death, she gave her last words to her son Zhu Youxiao: "I If you have a grudge against Xi Li, it is difficult to redress the hatred." This cast a shadow in Zhu Youxiao's heart, so that he was always on guard against Xi Li.

After Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, Zhu Youxiao and "Li Xuanshi" also moved to the "Qianqing Palace" together. But one month later, Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo died in the "Hongwan Case" and made Zhu Youxiao the emperor. It was for "Ming Xizong". However, "Li Xuanshi" wanted to continue to serve his nominally adopted son Xizong.

At that time, "Zheng Guifei", "Li Xuanshi", "Wei Zhongxian" and others had close contacts. The eunuch "Wei Zhongxian" wanted to take advantage of Xizong's young age to control the power of the government, and insisted that "Li Xuanshi" live in "Xizong's hometown" "Qianqing Palace" to facilitate real-time monitoring of the young new emperor Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao.

However, in order to prevent them from interfering in the affairs of the court, the ministers "all in charge" Yang Lian, "censor" Zuo Guangdou and others forced Li Xuanshi to move to the Yiluan Palace of Renshou Palace.

However, "Li Xuanshi" used his means to successfully control the Qianqing Palace, and with the support of the eunuch "Wei Zhongxian" and others, he formed an alliance with the Wanli Emperor's "Zheng Guifei" in an attempt to force Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to confer the title "Empress Dowager". This move aroused the suspicion of the court officials, who thought that she wanted to listen to politics behind the curtain.

After the death of Emperor Guangzong, Yang Lian, Liu Yishui and other court officials went straight to the "Qianqing Palace" and asked for a "cry sacrifice" to Emperor Guangzong. They also asked to see the emperor's eldest son Zhu Youxiao to discuss his accession to the throne. However, they were rejected by "Attendant Li Xuan". " was blocked. However, with the efforts of the ministers, Li Xuanzong allowed Zhu Youxiao to meet with the ministers.

When Yang Lian, Liu Yishen and others saw Zhu Youxiao, they kowtowed and shouted "Long live", and protected Zhu Youxiao from leaving the "Qianqing Palace" and going to the "Wenhua Palace" to accept the worship of the officials, and decided to hold the ceremony on September 6 The "Enthronement Ceremony" was held. This indeed made the courtiers feel the "future" and "hope", and hoped that the political situation would be stabilized as soon as possible.

However, for Zhu Youxiao's safety, the ministers had to arrange for him to live in the prince's residence for the time being, and the eunuch Wang An was responsible for protecting him.

After the joint purpose of "Li Xuanshi" and "Zheng Guifei" to kidnap Zhu Youxiao failed, they also proposed that all ministers' memorials must be handed over first, and they could review them before they could be handed over to Zhu Youxiao. This was actually a disguised form. "Listening to politics behind the curtain". However, the courtiers strongly opposed this.

Because the courtiers demanded that "Li Xuanshi" must move out of the Qianqing Palace and move to "Eluan Palace", "Li Xuanshi" refused. Therefore, "Li Xuanshi" also demanded that Zhu Youxiao must first make herself the "Empress Dowager" before he could let Zhu Youxiao. He ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor from the school. However, this move was against etiquette and law and was rejected by the ministers.

As a result, the date for Zhu Youxiao's enthronement ceremony in the "Yu Qianqing Palace" was approaching. On the fifth day of September, "Li Xuanshi" had no intention of moving to the palace, and it was rumored that the move out of the "Qianqing Palace" would be postponed. Therefore, the cabinet members The ministers collectively stood outside the gate of Qianqing Palace to protest, forcing "Li Xuanshi" to move out immediately.

In addition, Wang An, Zhu Youxiao's "East Palace Companion" eunuch, drove him away in the "Qianqing Palace", so that "Li Xuanshi" had no choice but to leave the "Qianqing Palace" in a hurry and moved to the "Renshou Palace". "Eluan Palace". On September 6th, Zhu Youxiao appointed Tianmen as the emperor and changed the next year to "the first year of Tianqi".

A few days after Li Xuanshi moved to the palace, the "Eluan Palace" caught fire. After all the efforts, Li Xuanshi's mother and daughter were rescued. As a result, officials who opposed the move spread rumors that "Xuanshi committed suicide and his daughter threw herself into a well."

Who would pity the emperor's eighth sister when she fell into the well? The widowed woman should not complain." He accused the new emperor Zhu Youxiao of violating the principle of "filial piety".

Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, refuted these rumors with the support of Yang Lian and others, saying: "I order to stop the title of the selected attendants to comfort the spirit of the Holy Mother in heaven. We will support the selected attendants and the eighth sister of the emperor in order to comply with the imperial examination."

You ministers, you can look up to me."

At this point, the "moving palace" incident ended, and the attempt to let "Li Xuanshi" compete for the title of "Empress Dowager" and control the government finally came to nothing. Soon, the officials announced in the name of Xizong that the title of "Li Xuanshi" would be removed, and "Zheng Guifei" would be replaced.

"The defense was ignored.

This was one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, which was as famous as the "Assault Case" and the "Red Pill Case". In the end, Zhu Youxiao won with the support of the courtiers.
