This is an argumentative essay.
Why is it said that Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions?
I have written more than 300 chapters, and I still have to open a single chapter to demonstrate the overall consistency of the Ming Dynasty's treatment of the emperor's health.
Aren’t those unique operations of Ming Dynasty all on the table?
The main purpose of this chapter is to deny individual cases and find commonalities between the Ming emperors.
The first is the death of Ming Xianzong.
In the 23rd year of Chenghua, on August 13th, Shang Buhe. Zhu Jianshen's own statement is: "I occasionally suffer from diarrhea, and my gas is still weak. If I want to treat it for a few days, I will not visit the court for the time being."
On August 17, the emperor ignored the court and ordered the civil and military ministers again: "My illness is gradually recovering, and I want to recuperate for a few more days. I ordered the crown prince to temporarily visit the court in Wenhua Hall."
August 21, the Great Gradient.
He passed away on August 22nd.
A case of diarrhoea, from the onset of symptoms to death, lasts for ten days.
This method of death cannot be said to be okay, right? Even if you get the most malignant and malignant cancer, it can’t only take ten days from the onset of symptoms to death, right?
Moreover, when he fell ill on the 13th, Zhu Jianshen claimed that he had diarrhea; on the 17th, Zhu Jianshen claimed that he had improved. Then five days later, the person suddenly disappeared.
If Zhu Jianshen was not cured to death by an imperial doctor, then what disease did he suffer from the way he died?
Cardiovascular disease? Cerebral hemorrhage? It doesn't look like it.
As for other diseases, even the most malignant cancer, can one die so quickly?
Even if it is late-stage liver cancer or lung cancer, it will take several months from the onset of symptoms to death, right?
Liu Wentai, the "first miracle doctor" of the Ming Dynasty, was only punished by being demoted from a hospital envoy to a court judge.
At this point, it can be said that Zhu Jianshen's death is not confirmed.
Then let’s look at Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty.
This is definitely true, right? It is written clearly and clearly in "Records of Ming Wuzong":
On April 29, the 18th year of Hongzhi's reign, Zhu Youtang fell ill.
On May 1, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, and others went to Zuoshunmen to say hello.
The reply given by Zhu Youtang was: I am gradually recovering from physical conditioning.
On the sixth day of May, Zhu Youtang died.
On the seventh day of May, Zhu Youtang passed away.
The nine days from onset of illness to death were one day faster than Zhu Jianshen's.
Then we look at "Records of Ming Wuzong - Volume 1":
"The eunuch Zhang Yu, who was in charge of the imperial hospital, was in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Palace, and was responsible for the administration of Shi Qin. Liu Wentai was convicted by the hospital, and Gao Tinghe, the imperial doctor, and others were convicted and imprisoned.
At the beginning, the late emperor prayed for rain and fasted. He occasionally felt cold and ordered Yu to discuss prescriptions with the imperial hospital.
Yu privately lives in Wentai and Tinghe, and does not ask for inspection, but only uses medicine to advance.
Afterwards, the emperor and the hospital judged that Fang Shuhe, medical doctor Xu Hao and others prescribed medicine, and all of them were in compliance with the syndrome.
The late emperor then died, and he was hated both at home and abroad. The British Duke Zhang Mao and others, as well as Wang Chen, Xue Jin, and the imperial censor Chen Shiliang, etc., accused him of evil, thinking that a quack doctor killed someone.
The mistakes in the legal disciplines are specially designed to set the ears for ordinary people. If you mislead others and lose the hope of the people in the ancestral temple, it will be a great harm to the world.
The sin is unforgivable, so the Hehe imperial medicine is wrong and does not follow the original prescription, which is called great disrespect and listed among the ten evils.
Please add Yu and others to show off the killings to vent the anger of the gods and men.
According to the decree, Cong Mao and others ordered Jinyi Wei Zhiyu and others to be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be executed by many officials. "
This is the original text of the Ming Dynasty Record. If you still insist that this is not solid, then there is nothing I can do.
The record clearly states that Xiaozong "occasionally felt cold", but the imperial physician treated him and he died in nine days. If you still think that the imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty was full of truth, kindness and beauty, then I have nothing to say.
Then Shi Daishan, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, together with the British Duke Zhang Mao and the Minister of Civil Affairs Ma Wensheng, came to a conclusion after interrogation. I don’t think anyone will want to read this long passage of classical Chinese, so I won’t post it.
The final verdict was: "According to the decree, Yu, Wentai, Tinghe died according to the law, Uncle Qinhe was dismissed from his post and lived idle, and Haofa was originally from the people." ---- (Original text of Ming Shilu)
Then came the evil ones: "The minister at that time was a man of Yin and Wen Tai, so he did not use the Hehe imperial medicine, which was disrespectful to the orthodoxy, but Biyijiao Neiguanlu. Later, Yu and others thought of it as a place of liberation, and those who knew it hated it. ”----(Original text of Ming Dynasty Record)
Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe were all acquitted and spared death.
The son of Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, was Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong and Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty.
My own father was killed. Did you see Emperor Zhengde murder someone?
Did Zhengde treat Zhu Youtang's death with indifference? Does he have the slightest intention to avenge Zhu Youtang?
I said that Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions. Is there a problem? For what Liu Wentai and other imperial doctors did, it would not be too much to let the Qing Dynasty be hacked to death a hundred times, right?
Not to mention Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, even if Guangxu came, Liu Wentai would be beheaded.
But in Ming Dynasty, it’s all about playing, doing work, and having nothing to do. Isn’t this a fact?
Which other dynasty did this?
Next we will explain Guangzong Zhu Changluo.
There were three famous cases in the late Ming Dynasty: the Hongwan Case, the Fence Attack Case, and the Palace Relocation Case.
Among them, the red pill case:
In the first year of Taichang, on the tenth day of August, Zhu Changluo fell ill.
On August 14, Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and Cui Wensheng, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy, entered the 'Tongli Medicine'.
On August 29, Li Kezhuo, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, presented red pills.
On the first day of September, Zhu Changluo died.
There is no dispute between official history and unofficial history about the course of the Benimaru case. Either he was put to death by Cui Wensheng or he was put to death by Li Kezhuo. Anyway, Zhu Changluo must have been put to death. There is no problem with this at all.
What is the attitude of Emperor Tianqi who succeeded to the throne? Two words: indifference.
When Wei Zhongxian came to power, Cui Wensheng was appointed governor of water transportation and in charge of rivers. This was the consequence of putting the emperor to death.
Li Kezhuo was a little more miserable, that is, he was first sentenced to a one-year fine, and then an additional five years of border guarding, and that was it.
Tianqi killed a lot of people, but when it came to the death of his own father, his attitude was marked by indifference.
Isn’t this brain circuit strange?
There is also the famous Apocalypse Big Bang. Tianqi's third son, Zhu Cijiong, was also the last son. He died of fright due to the explosion in Wang Gongchang.
Wang Gongchang is six miles away from the Forbidden City's harem in a straight line. What kind of explosion can cause people to die of fright even six miles apart, across the city wall, across the palace?
Apocalypse's attitude towards this kind of thing that seems problematic at first sight is still: indifference.
Don’t check, don’t ask, don’t care. Is there still no problem with this brain circuit?
There are similar things, and the same goes for Chongzhen. For ten years, Chongzhen forced donations from the emperor's relatives and killed the emperor's relatives Li Guorui.
As a result, the fifth son Zhu Cihuan died immediately.
Chongzhen knew what was going on, but he didn't dare to pursue it.
Chongzhen also killed many people, but when his son died, he did not dare to check or ask, and just ignored it.
There is also Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, whose brain circuit is also very strange. Before he ascended the throne, he gave birth to a son and two daughters, and there was no problem with his fertility. However, after eight years on the throne, he could not give birth to a single child.
The most bizarre thing is that Zhu Qiyu never thought that there was something wrong with the people around him, so he never thought about being drugged. He always felt that he was not living up to expectations. Isn't this weird brain circuit?
There is also another case among the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, the attack case.
Looking at the process, in May of the 43rd year of Wanli, an old farmer named Zhang Cha entered the imperial city through Dong'an Gate, then walked further in, and entered the Forbidden City through Donghua Gate.
Then he took the jujube stick from a certain eunuch, wounded the gatekeeper Li Jian, and broke into the prince's Ciqing Palace.
Neither official history nor unofficial history has any objection to this process.
Am I going too far by saying that Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions? An old peasant could leisurely enter the Forbidden City and go to the Crown Prince's palace to commit murder. Such a joke happened in the Qing Dynasty? Did it happen in the Tang Dynasty? Did it happen in the Song Dynasty? Did it happen in the Han Dynasty?
There was also Zhengde. In December of the fifteenth year, he vomited blood and fell to the ground while worshiping heaven and earth in the southern suburbs.
Wu Zong was a lot smarter than other Ming emperors. He was only ill for half a month before he realized something was wrong. He asked for a replacement of the imperial doctor and interviewed people who were proficient in medicine.
However, the cabinet ministers headed by Yang Tinghe rebuffed him and forced Wu Zong to have his illness treated at Tai Hospital. (The Ming Dynasty Record contains a paragraph from the original text. If any of you want to read it, I will post it for you.)
At this time, the problem of the imperial doctor was revealed. Even if ordinary people are seeing a doctor now and the hospital cannot treat the disease, they are still allowed to be transferred to another hospital for treatment. If this doctor can't cure me, I'm allowed to see another doctor.
Aren’t the requirements of righteousness reasonable and reasonable?
But because Zhengde was seriously ill at this time, he probably couldn't get out of bed, and he was no longer able to fight against the cabinet. There was no way to break through the cabinet's blockade and forcefully find a famous private doctor.
At this time, there is something even more strange: Zhengde cannot move, but his biological mother, Queen Mother Zhang, is alive and kicking and can move completely.
But the attitude of Queen Mother Zhang can be described in two words: indifference!
Seeing that his son was in dire straits, he asked for some famous doctors from among the people to take a look. Queen Mother Zhang's reaction was: indifference, pretending she didn't hear anything, and didn't react.
Isn’t the behavior of the Ming Dynasty royal family weird enough? Is there anything similar to the Ming Dynasty in the Great Dynasties? What’s wrong with Ming Dynasty’s own national conditions?
Needless to say, Jiajing experienced too many weird things including being burned and strangled. Eight sons were born and seven died. For this reason, Jiajing also invented a famous saying: Two dragons never meet. It is very possible that he has also figured out the death of his son.
Finally, when it comes to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he has killed enough people, but for the death of Zhu Biao, there is still two words: indifference.
In the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Biao went to inspect Shaanxi to investigate whether Xi'an could be established as the capital.
Zhu Biao set off, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy to catch up with him. The envoy said: "You crossed the river yesterday, and thunder suddenly rose from the southeast. It guided you forward. This is a sign of a powerful earthquake."
However, it has been cloudy and not raining for ten days, and there are conspiracies. It is advisable to act with caution, be strict in guarding, and be kind and generous in order to return to God's will. "
This is the original words of "History of the Ming Dynasty", and Zhu Yuanzhang himself felt something was wrong.
But after returning to Beijing, Zhu Biao fell ill. Whether during his illness or after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang never felt that there was anything wrong with the imperial doctor or the people serving around him.
Don't check, don't ask, don't interrogate, just treat it indifferently.
Even if Zhu Biao was not killed, he died inexplicably at such a young age. Shouldn't Jin Yiwei be sent to conduct an in-depth investigation of the palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial doctors who came into contact with the prince?
The fact is that as soon as Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately accepted the reality.
Obviously when Zhu Biao went to Shaanxi, Zhu Yuanzhang already suspected that someone was plotting against Zhu Biao. But after Zhu Biaozhen died, he had no doubts at all.
Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi also had problems. On May 28th of the first year of Hongxi's reign, Shang Buyu came.
The next day, there was a big rise in the sky, and the sky collapsed on the same day.
It took two days to complete a complete process.
Looking back ten days from the records of the Ming Dynasty, the only unusual thing is that on May 27th, "Li Shimian, the minister of the Hanlin Academy, and Luo Rujing, the minister of the Hanlin Academy, both spoke and changed the position of the imperial procuratorate." Supervisory censor. '
Serving as an attendant and serving as a lecturer is the sixth rank, and supervising the censor is the seventh rank.
What did Li Shimian and Luo Rujing say, and why was he demoted?
Renzong was the fastest among the Ming emperors to collapse. It only lasted two days from Shangbuyu to Shangbeng.
Taizong Zhu Di ranked second. It took three days from Shangbuyu to Shangbeng.
Xuanzong was equally indifferent, and he didn't think there was any problem with Renzong's death. He would be dismissed if he died, and the past would not be held accountable.
I said that the Ming Dynasty had its own national conditions, right? Then tell me which other dynasty did this? Are the Ming and Qing comparable in terms of the emperor's security?
I have said everything that needs to be said. If you insist that the Ming Dynasty’s imperial physician’s heart is full of truth, goodness, and beauty, I can’t help it.
I can't change the way I write it later. This is my view of the imperial doctors, queen mothers, and empresses of the Ming Dynasty, and I can't change it. I told you in advance that there is nothing I can do if you don’t accept it.
