Foreword: At the end of the ninth year of Zhengde (1514 AD), before the Fengyang High Wall, which was specially used by the Ming Dynasty to imprison the criminals of the clan, a tragic scene occurred. Zhu Dangmiao, the King of Guishan, was previously deceived by eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. When he knew that the high wall in front of him was the one that made the clan feel frightened, he cried out for wrongs and immediately hit the wall and died.
When the Fengyang of the Yang Dynasty was escorted by the Lieutenant Commander. When The Emperor was sitting, the Lieutenant Commander said, "Gurudwara Ling'er." Bizhi asked, "Where is this?" "High walls." Nai Da mourned, "Wronged! "On the same day, he struck the wall with his head and died, and those who heard it were injured." - Ming Wuzong Records Volume 118
So what crime did Zhu Dangmeng commit? Did he deserve it, or was he framed? Today we will talk about His Highness the Guishan King of Lu Province.

Zhu Dangmiao, the sixth son of Zhu Yangzhu the Prince of Lu, the grandson of Zhu Taikan the Prince of Luhui, the great-grandson of Zhu Zhaoxuan the Prince of Lujing, the grandson of Zhu Tanxuan the Prince of Luhuang, and the fifth grandson of Emperor Taizugao, Zhu Yuanzhang. In April of the eighteenth year of Chenghua (1482 AD), the imperial court gave names to the sons of King Lu, of whom the third son was named Dangyu, the fourth son was named Dangzhao, and the sixth son was named Dangmiao. In September of the first year of Hongzhi (1488 AD), Zhu Dangmiao was crowned king of Guishan. In November of the ninth year of Hongzhi (1496 AD), the eldest daughter of Hu Shen of Zhixian was crowned princess of Guishan.
During the years of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming and Emperor Zhengde of Mingwu, they had already come to the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the years and restrictions of the imperial court, at this time, the clan of the Ming Dynasty has long ceased to be the martial style of the beginning of the founding of the country, and drunken dreams and deaths and misdeeds abound. However, Zhu Dangmiao, the king of Guishan, was an outlier, he was "sexually strong", and he liked to dance with knives and guns since he was a child, and he struggled with strength. Compared with other clans, it seems out of place.
In October of the fifth year of Zhengde (1510 AD), a two-year-long Liu Liu Qi's rebellion broke out in The North and South Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Huguang and other places. This was a huge uprising of displaced people with great energy, which can be called a rehearsal of the great uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and its troops even approached Gyeonggi at one point, and Emperor Mingwuzong had to dispatch border troops to quell the chaos in addition to the nine martial law orders under the order of the Nine Gates. In March of the sixth year of Zhengde (1511 AD), the rebels who had entered no man's land captured more than 20 prefectures and counties in Shandong in one fell swoop.
Ding Wei, Inspector Of Ji Prefecture Yushi Li Gong and others: "Bazhou stole Liu Chen, Liu Liu, Qi Yanming, Gu Zimei and others to rob Shandong, killing Zhang Ying and six other people who commanded the Jing camp. Qi Tian transferred the Beijing army and reached the official military house, entrusted the commander, and would be garrisoned by each army and killed in four ways. —Ming Wuzong Records Volume 73

At this time, the Jing army was in a state of decay, and did not dare to fight the rebels at all. The border army could not quench its thirst from near water, so King Lu's feudal state of Yanzhou was surrounded by some rebels. Unlike the image of the pustules waiting to be killed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, zhu Yangzhu, the king of Lu at the time, although he had bad character, he still had the bloodiness of fighting to the death. All the clans of the Lu Dynasty, including Zhu Dangzhao the Prince of Lu shizi, Zhu Dangtao the Prince of Ziyang, Zhu Danglan the Prince of Dong'ou, and Zhu Dangmiao, the King of Guishan, stood at the head of the city and personally commanded the officers and soldiers defending the city to meet the battle. The most courageous of these was king Guishan, who borrowed armor and crossbows from the guards, and after the dress was completed, he led the royal family to rush up the city tower and shoot many rebel soldiers who attacked the city. In the end, with the concerted efforts of the clan and the officials, the Yanzhou government defended the city on its own.
Gengchen, Lu Wangyang cast: "The thief attacked Yanzhou, although he led the clan to guard the gates and shoot back. However, worried about its return, he begged for a military officer. The viceroy of the meeting, Shilang Lu Guan, also asked to change the Qing army to Jining. The army was overpowered, and zong min, the commander of the Linqing garrison, was transferred to Jining and aid Yanzhou. In order for the king to have the merit of keeping the royal deeds, he will be rewarded. — Ming Wuzong Records Volume 80

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > accused of rebellion: why no one is willing to cry out for it</h1>
On August 24, the ninth year of Zhengde (1514 AD), a series of emergency military and horse dispatch orders suddenly came out from the inner court of the Forbidden City: Admiral Jiangxi Military Affairs, Left Governor Liu Hui led 1,500 Liaodong Border Troops into Jining, Zhen Shou Daming Guangping Province, Right Governor Hao Yong led the officers and troops and Hejian Daguan Sheyu 1,500 people stationed in Dezhou, Gui Yong, deputy commander of the Town Guard Jiangxi Region, led his troops of 1,000 people into Daming Province, and guerrilla general Jia Jian led 500 people of Datong Border Army into Xuzhou. In addition, the Henan capital Yushi Chen Ke and the Huaiyang capital Yushi Zhang Jin were ordered to dispatch troops to guard the key points.
The aftermath of the Anhua King's Rebellion
Jining, Dezhou, Daming, Xuzhou, these points joined a large net, the target is directly aimed at Yanzhou capital, obviously to prevent possible changes. At the same time, the eunuch Wen Xiang, the Shaoqing Wang Chun of Dali Temple, and Jin Yiwei commanded Han Duan to leave the capital on his orders, and the starry night went straight to the Yanzhou capital. Funnyly, however, the man at the center of the Eye of the Storm, Zhu Dangmiao, the King of Guishan, was asleep when Chincha arrived.
The Kyoshi was fierce, and it was rumored that there had been a great change in the sect room, and the place where the day was located was shaken. And Xiang waited until the joint army was surrounded, and when the zhao fang drank and lay down, he and the quality were all tied. —Ming Wuzong Records Volume 115
Forbidden city
The mystery was revealed, and it turned out that the reason why the entire imperial court was in a big move was because someone secretly reported that Zhu Dangmiao, the king of Guishan, wanted to rebel. For the Zhu Di family, who started by rebellion, the defense of the clan has always been the highest priority political task. For Emperor Zhu Houzhao, the lesson of the Rebellion of King Anhua, which occurred in April of the fifth year of Zhengde (1510 AD), was heavy and far-reaching.
Zhu Jiao, the Prince of Anhua, posthumously honored as the son of Anhua Gong and Wang Zhu, the grandson of Zhu Zhizhao the Prince of Anhua, the great-grandson of Zhu Yu the Prince of Qingjing, and the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great-grandson of Emperor Mingzong Zhu Houzhao, and the great-grandfather of Emperor Mingwuzong Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Huan raised an army to rebel in the name of "currying favor with Liu Jin." And Liu Jin, the apparent power supervisor and "emperor", is just the spokesman of the Zhengde New Deal, and the real big man behind the scenes is Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao himself. Now that the clan is rebelling, the civilian bureaucracy that is deeply persecuted by the New Deal is naturally happy to blossom. Under their persecution, Emperor Wuzong had to kill Liu Jin to quell the anger. However, as soon as Liu Jin died on the front foot, the back foot broke out into the Liu Liu Liu Seven Uprising, which lasted for two years. It was precisely because Yin Jian was not far away that Emperor Wuzong was so nervous about the rebellion of the so-called King Guishan.
The King of Guishan, who has been plotted against
After explaining the background, let's see who told the secret. Liang Yu (梁榖), a native of Dongping, the capital of Yanzhou, Shandong (note his place of origin). In the second year of Zhengde (1507 AD), he ranked seventh in the Shandong Township Examination, in the sixth year of Zhengde (1511 AD), he was ranked 269th in the examination, and he was the eighty-seventh jinshi of the second rank, and is currently the chief of the official department.
Liang Yu had a fellow villager named Xi Fengzhu (what a strange name), and he quietly entered Beijing to bring Liang Yu a piece of extremely explosive news: Several fellow villagers Yuan Qian and Zhao Yan, who were usually brave and fierce in their hometown, planned to entangle thousands of people to rebel. Liang Yu used to "do too much" in his hometown, and he was quite supported by Yuan Qian and others. However, after The development of Lord Liang, he did not want to continue to be friends with these so-called "evil boys", after all, this is also his own black history.
Of course, due to the importance of this matter, Liang Yu used his previous connections to inquire about Qu Ang and Liu Sheng, another local evil leader in Dongping. Everyone did not deal with it in the first place, and Qu Ang and the others were not only happy to see Yuan Qian suffer, but also dragged Ping Su and his own thousand households gao qian and Wang Zhan into the water. Overjoyed, Liang Yu immediately reported the matter to his immediate superiors: Shao Bao and Crown Prince Taibao, and the official Shangshu Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing was extremely miserable when Liu Jin was in power, and it was only by relying on the rebellion of King Anhua that he turned around in one fell swoop. Now that the opportunity to make meritorious contributions has come again, it is natural to report to the emperor at the first time.
Sihe South Bridge: Funded by King Lu of the Ming Dynasty
Just when the so-called "house leaked in the overnight rain", just when the emperor himself was suspicious of this news, another heavyweight entered Beijing. Shi Makui, the governor of the Lu Dynasty, brought with him accusations that Zhu Yangzhu, the King of Lu, was planning to rebel against his son Zhu Dangmiao, the Prince of Guishan. In addition, the imperial court also learned through investigation that Guishan Wang Pingsu and Yuan Qian and others had similar interests and had been very close. For Emperor Wuzong, even if this matter had a real hammer, the situation immediately escalated, which led to the situation in which the people of the former Wenbian Army and even the people in the capital were panicked.
After Zhu Dang woke up drunk, he looked at the imposing Jinyi Wei with a look of incredulity on his face and asked a question like this: "What sin do I have to tie to me?" When Jin Yiwei commanded Han Duan to send people to search for the weapons used in the rebellion, he found that it was only the armor and bows and arrows borrowed from the guards. It is estimated that this cloak is where Zhu Dangmiao's honor lies, so he is reluctant to return it. As for Yuan Qian and Zhao Yan, they were just ordinary civilians, and there was no evidence of rebellion at all.
Of course, for the sake of safety, King Guishan and Yuan Qian and others were all brought back to the capital to prepare for confrontation. At this time, Inspector Li Hanchen was indignant and impeached Liang Yu for his behavior of "repaying grievances and asking for credit". Li Yushi also threw out a powerful message, that is, King Shi Makui of Lu and King Guishan had a festival, so he cooperated with Liang Yu to frame the clan and demand that the two of them be severely punished. Ma Kui knew that he was wrong and tried to bribe the town eunuch Bi Zhen to help him get rid of his crime, and was directly denounced by The eunuch Bi.
It is reasonable to say that the whole case has been revealed so far, Ma Kui has taken revenge for himself, Liang Yu has created rumors, and the King of Guishan is innocent and innocent, but the final result has surprised everyone. Under the intervention of an invisible hand, Zhu Dangtao, the king of Guishan who was clearly sitting upright, found that he was calling the heavens and the earth ungodly in the middle of the capital, and there was no one to help him wash away the injustice.
The Dharma Master will be Xun Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of Government, and so on, and The Kui will go to the Kings' Pavilion to examine the Emperor. Everyone knows that when there is no reaction, no one dares to be white, he is imprisoned for violating the "Ancestral Precepts". - Ming Wuzong Records Volume 118
Portrait of Yang Yiqing
All indications are that Yang Yiqing was behind the judicial interference in this case. The author has seen many articles on the Internet that say that at this time, Wuzong happened to be injured in the leopard room because of play, so the entire case was handled by Liu Jin. According to the Records of the Records, Emperor Wuzong was indeed injured by a "fox tiger" in September of the ninth year of Zhengde. But Liu Jin, the eunuch Liu, had already been delayed by Ling Four years ago, how did he come to judge the case? What good is it to be in such a hurry to wash the floor for the civilian bureaucracy?
Final Verdict in the Guishan King's Conspiracy Case:
Zhu Dangmiao, the King of Guishan, was demoted to the rank of Shuren and sent Fengyang to guard the ancestral tombs.
Yuan Zhi and his family: Sent to Suzhou to charge the army.
Xi Fengzhu and Qu Ang: Sending and distributing the mouth to charge the army.
The governor of Lu Province, Shi Makui, sat down.
In addition, the inspector who spoke out of righteousness was demoted to the rank of Judge of Guangde Prefecture by the rank of Yushi Li Hanchen. And the initiator, Liang Yu, the history book recorded his ending as follows: "With a clear shelter, it is spared."
Conclusion: The Guishan King Zhu Dangmiao sat in his home, and the pot came from heaven, which cannot be said to be unjust. However, judging from Ma Kui's murder, Emperor Wuzong clearly knew that King Guishan had been wronged (the death penalty could only be approved by the emperor himself), so why did he depose Zhu Dangmiao as a commoner? In fact, it was because His Highness the Guishan King was brave and good at war, which aroused the emperor's suspicions. For the members of the clan who liked to ride and shoot, the imperial court always adhered to the attitude of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake and not let go of one. Ten years ago, when the emperor was still Emperor Wuzong's father Emperor Xiaozong, Zhu Youji, the King of Zhongling of Nanning Domain, Jiangxi, was deposed because he claimed to be "good at riding and shooting, and familiar with Taoluo". It can be seen that from Emperor Xiaozong to Emperor Wuzong, the suspicion of the clan was consistent.
As for Yang Yiqing, he is the embodiment of justice in a best-selling novel that illustrates the dynasty. After quelling the rebellion of King Anhua and thus overthrowing Liu Jin, he did not know whether he intended to use the rebellion of King Guishan to deal with which political opponent. After all, although he was already an official Shangshu, he had never been able to enter the cabinet, and he didn't know how much he had in mind. Regarding Yang Yiqing's behavior, the history books severely criticized him: "He is inherently unsympathetic to the fate of the people of the clan domain."
