There are not a few historical events related to the "River Car Maru", especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
According to records, the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was once strangled to death by a group of palace women with a rope, and the reason why the palace women strangled the Jiajing Emperor was related to this "river car pill".
On the night of December 21, 1542, jiajing, as usual, went to sleep exhausted after the death of Concubine Cao. At this moment, several palace ladies who often worked as errands in the palace quietly entered Jiajing's bedroom.
Several palace ladies led by Yang Jinying began to attack the Jiajing Emperor, first Yang Yuxiang handed a thick rope to Su Chuanyao, and Su Chuanyao was timid and handed the rope to Yang Jinying, and Yang Jinying finally began to do it. Yao Shugao first covered Jiajing's face with yellow aya and squeezed his neck tightly.
As soon as the others saw this situation, no matter how many people did not get started, they would be executed in vain. Therefore, Xing Cuilian stepped forward and pressed the front chest of the Jiajing Emperor, Wang Huaixiang also concentrated all the weight on Jiajing's upper body, Su Chuanyao and Guan Meixiu suppressed his left and right hands deadly, and Liu Miaolian and Chen Juhua firmly pressed Jiajing's two legs.
It was also tragic to think that no matter how faint emperor Yi jie was, if he was killed in this way, it would be a great shame.
When Yang Jinying put the rope around Jiajing's neck and Yao Shugao and Guan Meixiu were about to pull hard, an accident occurred, not Jiajing broke free, he had already fought with both fists and became fish on the chopping board. Unexpectedly, Yang Jinying beat the living knot into a dead knot in the panic, and the two people could not pull it. In the end, the Jiajing Emperor's order should not be extinguished, and several palace women and their families were all lingchi.
Some people may wonder how much of a vendetta these palace ladies have with the Jiajing Emperor, and how dare they launch such an uprising, which is also a rare leader in history.
In fact, the cause of the incident is related to this "river car pill". Consulting the "Compendium of Materia Medica" shows that there are many ingredients of Chinese medicine that are very strange, and under the category of human beings, there are many things related to people that can be used in medicine. However, the Jiajing Emperor, in order to seek the number of women in the night and immortality, ordered the alchemist to refine the elixir, and when the medicinal materials needed for the alchemist's alchemy were virgin moon letters, they would be refined into "Tiankui", and when some medicinal materials were "Purple River Car", they would be refined into "River Car Pills".
It can be seen from this that this habit of the Jiajing Emperor will not only cause physical harm to the palace women, but also a great insult to people, and also give the palace women great pressure in spirit, so the palace women will have no choice but to revolt.
Puyi, as the last emperor of the late Qing Dynasty, was taught by the palace eunuchs when he was young because of his greed, and the little eunuch who guarded Puyi at that time was afraid that Puyi would cause trouble and play, so he kept pushing the palace women who were older than him to him, resulting in Puyi's body falling ill.
Although he married wanrong, Wenxiu, Tan Yuling, Li Yuqin, and Li Shuxian in his lifetime, he did not leave any heirs. This physical ailment of his manifested itself in his old age.
Puyi in his old age, the body often appears to have a decline in physical function, this situation makes Puyi's last wife Li Shuxian very afraid, so Li Shuxian accompanied Puyi to do the examination, the result is kidney cancer, and finally removed the left kidney, only to save his life.
Although there is no danger to life, but the body will still be very weak, so Li Shuxian inquired in many ways, found a folk medicine doctor for Puyi, this doctor prescribed a pair of pain relief prescriptions for Puyi, the main pair of medicinal materials is "Purple River Car", that is, placenta powder, and the pill made of it is called "River Car Pill".
On the day of Puyi's death, due to severe pain, causing a sharp distortion of the face, when people are dying, they all want to grasp the last straw of life, Puyi does not want to endure severe pain, remembering the painkillers he eats every day, so he shouted "River Car Pill" with only a little strength.
But the drug has been unable to save Puyi, in the struggle and heart-rending pain, Puyi died.
