[On the night of October 21, the 21st year of Jiajing, you were sleeping in the palace of your favorite concubine, Concubine Cao Duan, when you suddenly felt a loud noise around you. You Minmi Huhu opened your eyes and found a dozen palace maids surrounding you. These palace maids have a clear division of labor. They will strangle you by the neck and kill you! 】
[You struggle desperately, and they tie another knot. But this knot was accidentally tied into a tight knot, and it became tighter and tighter, but it couldn't strangle you. The other maids became anxious, pulled out their hairpins, and stabbed you randomly. You were held down by multiple maids, unable to move. Seeing that the emperor could not be strangled to death, some people were afraid. So a palace maid named Zhang Jinlian ran out and went straight to Queen Fang's residence to surrender. The queen was shocked when she heard that a group of palace maids had murdered the emperor, and she quickly led people to Duan Fei's palace to rescue her. 】
[You survived the catastrophe. In anger, the Ministry of Punishment, together with the Jinyi Guards, ordered Yang Jinying and other sixteen palace maids, as well as Duan Fei Cao and Ning Concubine Wang to be kidnapped to the city Cao and executed in a hurry. The property of the palace ladies involved was confiscated, and the silk flower ropes were also confiscated. And Huang Ling rag seals the official treasury. 】
[After this incident, you gradually calmed down and analyzed who wanted to kill you. 】
[Several palace maids, even with their 800 courages, dare not assassinate the king and kill him. They can only do so meticulously. If they had not been lucky, they would have died here. There must be someone behind this! 】
[You thought of someone, King Qi! 】
[No, doing this will do no good to King Qi. If King Qi really wanted to kill you, he could have raised an army to rebel after the failure of his expedition to the southwest! 】
【Who is that? 】
[As smart as you are, you already have the answer in your heart. In the hearts of others, you are already more hateful than Wu Zong! Wu Zong is disobedient at best, but you control everyone! 】
[There are too many people who want you to die! 】
Zhu Di's heart was numb.
An emperor of a generation was almost strangled to death on his bed by a group of palace maids. How ridiculous!
Thanks to good luck, he was able to survive by chance. If not, Jiajing would have become an eternal joke.
Just as Jiajing thought, there were too many people who wanted him dead.
Just like Wuzong back then, although today's Jiajing ignores government affairs and brings disaster to the country and people, his ultimate Machiavellian methods have always allowed him to stand at the pinnacle of the empire's power and manipulate everyone at his fingertips.
Since Jiajing can't be defeated by playing tricks, then just use force and make him disappear from the world!
This is not the first time those people have done this kind of thing. Wuzong Zhu Houzhao is the best example.
[After an assassination attempt by a palace maid that nearly killed you, you rarely go to court. 】
[You don’t trust anyone. Except for your personal eunuchs, guards, and a handful of cabinet bachelors, you hardly see anyone, whether it’s your son or ministers. 】
[You would rather stay with your cat. Other than that, you just want to cultivate immortality and seek Taoism. 】
(There is an interesting history about this paragraph, which I have written in the writer’s words. The number of words does not count.)
[Because you worship Taoism, fast, and pursue immortality, Yan Song, the cabinet minister, will not hesitate to spend any amount of manpower, financial and material resources in order to win your favor. Among them, only construction, Zhai Palace and secret halls were built from time to time, there were twenty or thirty workshops, tens of thousands of craftsmen were employed, the army called them, and the annual fee was two to three hundred. When the funds were insufficient, the subjects were asked to offer help; if they continued to offer help, they would continue to accept it, wasting the people and hurting money, and regarded Wuzong as having done something wrong. The annual income of Taicang in the Ming Dynasty was only two million taels, but the annual expenses for the construction of the Zhai Palace, Secret Hall, etc. were as high as two to three million. 】
….
[It is said that Yan Song is a dictator and good at power, but you don't care, because Yan Song and his old son Yan Shifan are just your chess pieces after all. If you can let the chess pieces escape your control, then you will not be called Emperor Jiajing. 】
[You have used machinations and tactics in a way that is beyond the reach of future generations. In the final analysis, Yan Song is just a chess piece. When you realize that the chess piece is gradually out of your control, you are ready to attack Yan and his son. 】
[In the 41st year of Jiajing, you ordered the arrest of Yan Shifan without hesitation, ordered Yan Song to retire, and Xu Jie replaced Yan Song as the chief assistant. In March of the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, Yan Shifan was killed. 】
[February of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing
, a sixth-rank official named Hai Rui asked a friend to submit a memorial to you - "Public Security Essay"]
[You took a casual look and became furious. This is the sharpest and most pungent memorial you have ever seen. Every sentence, every word pierces your heart! In this 4,000-word essay, Hai Rui counts your mistakes in politics and your mistakes as a king! 】
[What makes you most angry is that Hai Rui unabashedly accused you of your stupidity in the crusade against the Southwest in his memorial. Hai Rui said: "The campaign against the southwest should never have happened. It was just the emperor's excessive desire for power that led him to send troops against his important minister King Qi. The root cause of all this was not Zhang Xun who was pushed out as a scapegoat, but the emperor's stupidity. !"]
[No one dares to mention the disastrous defeat of the "Cruelty against the Southwest" in front of you. This is an unforgettable shame for you. A generation of emperors actually surrendered to the vassal king! 】
[And Hai Rui, a sixth-rank petty official, dared to break through all the fig leaves and point his finger at you so bluntly and scold you! 】
[No one has ever dared to say such a thing to you. It was obvious that you were furious. Before you could finish reading this "Public Security Manual", you slammed the letter to the ground and roared: "Jiu Jinyiwei! Seize the sea!" Rui, don’t let him get away!”]
[But when you learned that Hai Rui had bought a coffin for you before the memorial, you opened the memorial again. After a long time, you couldn't help but sigh: "This person is probably a Bi Gan, but I am not King Zhou. .”]
[You did not punish Hai Rui for the first time, you just left the memorial unpublished. But after a few months, you became more and more angry and sent Hai Rui to prison. After the prison words were delivered, they remained in the palace and were not released. 】
[You really wanted to kill Hai Rui, but in the end you suppressed your anger. 】
[You know, what Hai Rui said is true. He said the most realistic words. You clearly realize that you are no longer the accomplished Emperor Jiajing when you first came to the throne. Now you are just dedicated to cultivating immortality and seeking Taoism. Taoist emperor, today's Ming Dynasty, the people have long been in dire straits, side affairs are neglected, and everyone is scolding himself for being stupid. 】
[Jiajing Jiajing, every house is clean! 】
Direct ministers like Hai Rui were not uncommon in all dynasties.
But it was also the first time that Zhu Di had seen a direct minister as capable as Hai Rui.
This is really not afraid of death!
[In December of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, you fell ill and were dying. You were lying on the dragon bed, recalling your life. 】
[You can play with the court officials as puppets at the age of sixteen, and you have a lot of talents under your command. The civil servants Xia Yan, Xu Jie, and Hu Xianzong are experienced in power planning. The generals Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Tan Lun are all powerful generals. They are not powerful. 】
….
[However, the Ming Dynasty has now become such a miserable state. The people are impoverished, every family is clean, corruption is rampant in the court, and corruption and fraud are rampant. The national treasury cannot make ends meet and runs a deficit every year. Ming Dynasty is already teetering in the wind and rain, and is gradually heading towards collapse. 】
[The only big defeat in your life was against King Qi. Although you lost miserably, what really changed you was your laziness and selfishness. 】
[You become an emperor just to enjoy happiness. There are no obligations, only power, just for enjoyment. You are very capable and can make everyone play around, letting the courtiers fight around while you sit back and enjoy peace. So what if the people don't have a living, what does it have to do with you? 】
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @
Why is it that he has died? He has become an immortal!
Are you serious about such a long road number?
In fact, Jiajing not only has the Taoist title "Tai Shang Da Luo Celestial Immortal... Wanshou Emperor", his other Taoist title is "Nine Heavens Hongjiao Pu Ji Creature Palm Yin Yang Gong Guo Dao Si Ren Zi Ji Immortal Weng Yi Yang Zhen Yuan" Xu Xuan should be enlightened, subdue demons, be loyal and filial to the emperor."
It can be seen that Emperor Jiajing is indeed a cultural man. Who in the right mind can come up with such a long name?
It's a pity that such a smart emperor didn't use his IQ in the right place.
He has an extremely smart mind and has taken machinations to a new level. As long as he spares some time from cultivating immortality and seeking Taoism and devotes more time to governing the country, the Ming Dynasty can live for decades longer. But for such a smart man, But he didn't do any personnel work at all.
"The fucking bastard prince! None of his descendants are good, they are all bastards!" Zhu Di gritted his teeth angrily, "You really deserve to die!"
Yao Guangxiao saw that the emperor was so angry and his brain was running out.
The emperor had convulsions again?
…
No one knows whether the emperor had convulsions or not, but the King of Han did have some convulsions.
"Is there anything the prince has done?" Prince Han asked, holding the jade bottle in his hand.
Ji Gang was labeled as intending to rebel and was imprisoned. At the same time, the East Palace and Prince Qi's Palace were all involved. More than 40 ministers were imprisoned at the same time. King Qi's right-hand men Lu Chaoyang and Yang Rong, as well as the two most important ministers of the East Palace, Lu, the Minister of Rites, Lu Zhen and Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, were not spared. For a time, the capital was in chaos, and there were even rumors that the capital was going to change.
The capital was in chaos, which was exactly what the King of Han wanted to see.
The previous capital was too quiet, so quiet that it was scary.
The King of Han knew that his power was now much weaker than before. If the capital was allowed to continue to be so quiet, he would be increasingly helpless. Only by disrupting this stagnant water could he have a chance to get something out of the fire.
Poor Atu
