Once, the costume drama "Langya List" starring Hu Ge and Liu Tao was popular all over the country, and the hanging mirror Si Xia Shou, played by the old drama bone Wang Yongquan, was highly powerful, the means were fierce, and the protagonist Hu Ge was greatly abused, which made people shudder, but in the history of the Ming Dynasty in China, there was a dynasty with a greater power than Xia Shouzun, above ten thousand people under one person, the first assistant of a generation, Zhang Juzheng, did not dare to compete with it, and the traitor Yan Song did not dare to oppose it, this person was Lu Bing, the only official of the Ming Dynasty who was three dukes and three orphans, and he could be called the strongest Jinyi guard.
Lu Bing was the son of Lu Song, the commander of jinyiwei, and his mother was the nursing mother of Emperor Jiajing of The Ming Dynasty, who grew up with Emperor Jiajing when he was young, and often went in and out of the palace with his mother, and in the eleventh year of Jiajing (1532), Lu Bingzhong wujinshi was awarded the deputy qianhu of Jinyiwei, and after Lu Song's death, he attacked Jinyiwei to command the affairs, and then commanded the envoy, and held the fusi of Nanzhen.
In the spring of the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539), when the Jiajing Emperor was on a southern tour to Weihui, Henan, the palace caught fire, and Lu Bing was the first to rush into the fire field to carry the Jiajing Emperor to escape the fire, and helped the Jiajing Emperor to take the public opinion to avoid the fire, so Jiajing praised Lu Bingdao: Loyal subjects also! Lu Bing's favor became more and more favored by the emperor, and his status continued to rise like a rocket.
Lu Bing is well versed in the way of power and strategy, and is sleek in dealing with people. At that time, most of his colleagues were fathers, and most of them bullied Lu Bing, who on the surface had great respect for them, but secretly gradually used tactics to cut out those who despised him. Lu Bing was loyal to the Jiajing Emperor, severely tortured those who dared to write to advise the emperor, killed Yang Zhi, the secretary of the Taibu Temple, killed the commander of the soldiers and horses, starved zhou Tianzuo, the head of the household, and so on, and so on, which were more and more used by the Jiajing Emperor.
In order to expand his power, Lu Bing also had a cabinet of important ministers Xia Yan and Yan Song, and then impeached Lu Bing because of Huguang Dao's attempt to use Yushi Chen Qixue, Xia Yan wanted to draft a holy decree to arrest Lu Bing, Lu Bing, afraid, privately bribed Xia Yan with three thousand taels of gold, Xia Yan was upright and did not allow it, Lu Bing, so he knelt down on Xia Yan, wept and apologized, Xia Yan could not bear it, so he let Lu Bing go.
Since Lu Bing's entry into the army, it has been smooth sailing, the spring breeze is proud, he has lost such a big face at Xia Yan, and his heart has long hated Xia Yan to the bone, and when Yan Song and Xia Yan compete for the position of first assistant, Lu Bing' camp will stand in Yan Song's camp and expose Xia Yan's friendship with the generals to rebel, yan Song and other traitorous ministers also take the opportunity to stir up dissension, and Xia Yan was sentenced to death.
After Yan Song came to power, he monopolized power and misled the country and the people, and he had intended to attack xu jie, a scholar of the university, who was upright and honest, and his family said that he was sick and thanked guests to avoid suspicion, at this time, Lu Bing's mediation in the middle of the mediation saved Xu Jie from persecution.
The Pingfu general Qiu Luan was greedy and vicious, and he was violent, because he received the favor of the Jiajing Emperor because he entered the aid of the King of Qin, his wife took a fancy to Lu Bing's wife's jewelry, so he privately sent two people to the Lu family to rob it, Lu Bing was forced to hand over the jewelry, and he was very afraid and resentful in his heart, so he could not bear it, and then Lu Bing collected evidence of Qiu Luan's crimes and brought them to the Jiajing Emperor to expose Qiu Luan's crimes one by one, and Qiu Luan was dissected and killed.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were very powerful in their political system, but Lu Bing once impeached the eunuch Li Bin for embezzling hundreds of thousands of materials and money and grain needed for the Jiajing Emperor's True Palace Project, and privately enslaved the military to build a tomb for himself on the Black Mountain. At that time, Li Bin was favored, and the Manchu Dynasty ministers of culture and military affairs were greatly frightened, but Lu Bing was deeply trusted by the Jiajing Emperor, and Li Bin and his henchmen were imprisoned and executed, which was unique in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing (1545), Lu Bing, as the commander of the capital Tongzhi, took charge of the affairs of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei also entered the most powerful period of the Ming Dynasty, and in the autumn of the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, Lu Bing was given the title of Shaofu, at that time he was already Taibao and Crown Prince Taifu, thus Lu Bing became the only official in the Ming Dynasty to receive the "Three Dukes and Three Orphans".
During his tenure, Lu Bing, on the one hand, treated scholars, protected loyal subjects, cracked down on adultery, and impeached eunuchs, and did not frame a single person. On the other hand, he also accepted bribes, interfered in the election of officials, and conspired with Yan Song to frame Xia Yan, the head of the cabinet, to expose Qiu Luan's rebellion and exclude dissidents. For Lu Bing, a person who is also good and evil, future generations have mixed praise and criticism. Cabinet University Scholar Zhang Juzheng commented on it: The merits and crimes are not hidden!
In December of the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing (1560), the powerful Lu Bing died in office at the age of fifty-one, and the Jiajing Emperor gave him a very solemn honor, giving him the title of Zhongbo, the title of Wuhui, the funeral, and also appointed his son Lu Xuan as the commander of the Benwei. During the Longqing period, Emperor Mingmuzong pursued Lu Bing's guilt, his son Lu Xuan and his brother Lu Wei were stripped of their official positions and imprisoned, confiscated the family property and recovered the stolen goods, in the third year of the Wanli Calendar (1575), Lu Xuan wrote a letter requesting exoneration, Zhang Juzheng and others said that Lu Bing's rescue was meritorious, and the law stipulated that those who did not conspire against the rebel party would not confiscate the family property; Moreover, the two crimes of raiding homes and recovering stolen goods sit together, which is not in accordance with the law. The MingShen Sect took pity on him, and Lu Xuan was spared.
