"From now on, the king did not have an early dynasty", not only in the Tang Xuanzong period, but also in the Wanli period. People attribute the former's not going to the dynasty to Yang Yuhuan's beauty and seduction, while why the latter did not go to the court is a cloud of doubt.
The Wanli Emperor's name was Zhu Yijun, and when he was 10 years old, his father took the hands of the ministers and wept and told them to help Wanli well, but at that time, he did not know that there was also infighting among the ministers, and only Zhang Ju was surviving in the imperial court of the three ministers who were orphaned.
The young Wanli, although intelligent, was too young, and the major affairs of the dprk were controlled by his mother Empress Li and Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the first generation, fortunately, neither of them had the idea of usurping the throne, and Wanli still sat on the throne. In the first decade of the Wanli Calendar, the economic situation of the Ming Dynasty was greatly improved, and it was praised by the government and the public. In 1582, Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and Wanli was pro-government from then on, and he looked up to his teachers, not only launching three large-scale military operations, consolidating the territory, but also carrying out a series of changes.
However, his diligence lasted only a few years, and from 1586 onwards, Wanli began to shelve state affairs and no longer go to the court, but merely conveyed messages to the following through the surname of the edict. Although he was still dealing with state affairs, everyone understood that face-to-face communication was far more efficient than the upper and lower orders, and what's more, after a while, Wanli did not seem to be interested in approving the recital.
At this time, there were many parties within the imperial court, and Wanli was more and more reluctant to manage this bad political affair, not to mention, whenever he proposed to change the crown prince, the ministers burst into tears and grabbed the land with their heads, causing his good interest to disappear and becoming more and more reluctant to manage the government.
Of course, many people think that the reason why Wanli did not go to the dynasty for 28 years is the same as that of Tang Xuanzong, according to records, Wanli has been nostalgic for women for many years, singing at night and night, resulting in physical deficit, so he is unwilling to go to the dynasty.
So, what is the truth of the facts? The Ming Tomb seems to give another answer, and we misunderstand him for four hundred years.
In 1958, Guo Moruo, who was also a historian, proposed the idea of excavating the Ming Ding Mausoleum, and although many people blocked it, with the support of the above, the excavation began in a big way. The crowd opened the coffin of the Wanli Emperor and saw his remains, hundreds of years have passed, the bones have long lost the breath of a living person, but his bones can let people see the living history.
Experts restored Wanli's remains and found that both the naked eye and machine detection proved that his right leg was shorter than his left leg. Long-term lameness has an impact on the body's torso, and in severe cases, diseases can occur. Sure enough, the "Records of the Commandments" has already recorded Wanli's judgment of his own body, such as "waist pain and soft feet, inconvenient to walk", "foot pain, difficult walking".
For any person, travel inconvenience, physical pain, will not torture themselves, after all, everything is not as important as the body. What's more, for the emperor, dignity is above all else, if you drag a stump leg every day, the courtiers may secretly ridicule, if it is recorded in the history books, it will expose the privacy of the royal family, which is obviously not in line with the characteristics of the ancient royal family.
In addition, experts have another layer of discovery. Because the medical methods were not high enough, the ancients often regarded certain harmful substances as good medicines, such as five stones, elixirs, opium, etc. Experts found that Wanli often swallowed opium, resulting in physical obesity, dizziness, liver deficiency and kidney deficiency, perhaps in the perennial pain of scratching the heart and lungs, he chose to use opium as a health care product, perhaps he was just for longevity, but it was counterproductive.
