Jiajing: Prove that my dad is my dad? I'm going to make room for him!" The Ming Dynasty's "Great Ceremony" incident

Picked up the emperor

When Emperor Mingwuzong Zhu Houzhao was 31 years old, when he was rowing and playing in the river outside his private entertainment city "Leopard House", he overturned the boat into the water because of a fight with his friends, and after being rescued, he was frightened and died after more than three months.

When Zhu Houzhao was alive, he did not love red clothes and love blue face, and only mixed with Jiyou all day, although he was happy, but he did not work hard and could not give birth to children, so Zhu Houzhao was blindly busy, and there was no one in the connecting class when he died, Zhu Houzhao not only had no son, but also had no brothers.

Zhu Houzhao's father, Zhu Youfan, is not good at sex, but he is a model of family planning, only Zhu Houzhao has a single seedling, these troubles, let who inherit the throne?

Fortunately, at that time, The first assistant of Daming, Yang Tinghe, began to consider the issue of succession when Zhu Houzhao was not out of breath, and he followed the ancestral system of Daming, and if the emperor died without sons, he could "brother and brother and brother" The established policy, without brothers and cousins, issued a central document in the name of Zhu Houzhao, and let Zhu Youzhao's nephew Zhu Houxi inherit the throne.

Zhu Houxi was only 14 years old at the time, and there was no father at a young age, and at that time, his father died not long ago, and he was immersed in grief, and suddenly the emperor let himself take over, which can really be described as picking up lottery tickets in the garbage can, winning the jackpot, dropping pie in the sky, and picking up an emperor in vain.

But soon after 14-year-old Zhu Houxi took office, he encountered a problem of scratching his head.

Whose tablet should I throw out?

Because Zhu Houxi was a filial piety, after becoming emperor, he wanted his biological father to enter the Taimiao Temple and accept the worship of future generations. It is said that to be the emperor is the king of a country, and a person has the final say, this matter is a show of hands.

But things are not so simple, because from the Zhou Dynasty onwards, the main hall of the Taimiao Temple has a limited ranking, and can only accommodate seven spiritual seats, with the founding emperor in the middle and three successive emperors on each side.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in The Flower Son, and people from humble origins became more eager to show their desire to show greater desire after they became rich, so he increased the ranking of the Taimiao Temple to nine, and got his father to the Taimiao Temple.

Therefore, if there are more than nine successive emperors, they can only be selected from them and put in the side hall. Zhu Houxi was the emperor of the dynasty, of course, he did not want his father to go to the side hall, and he also wanted to keep a place and accept worship in the main hall in the future.

But the main hall has long been empty, whose ranking should be taken out? Zhu Houxi made a mistake.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the boss, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the root of Daming, and his status is of course unshakable.

The Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was the son of Zhu Yuanzhang and the successor of the Ming Dynasty of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and his status was certainly unshakable. Moreover, Zhu Di's succession did not follow the formal procedures, and there was a little similarity with the situation of his own succession, they were not the immediate family members of the previous emperor, and they had pity on each other with the same disease, and Zhu Houxi could not get Zhu Di out. Not only will it not be taken out, but it will also consolidate his position and crown him as an ancestor.

Moreover, the later emperors were all the revolutionary seeds of Zhu Di, Zhu Di came out, the legitimacy of the later emperors became a problem, and he was also a descendant of Zhu Di, without Zhu Di himself, was he like Sun Wukong jumping out of the cracks in the stone? How can not move Zhu Di.

Therefore, jiajing almost threw Zhu Di's ranking out of the way, which is unfounded.

So, who did the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi move out of the ranking?

Zhu Houxi thought about getting Zhu Yuanzhang's father to the side hall, because this old man had not been emperor for a day, and there was little repercussion to move him out.

Later, Zhu Houxi thought about it repeatedly and felt that it was still appropriate to move Zhu Di's son out, this big fat man Zhu Gaozi, who had only been emperor for less than a year, had no influence, and had not made any contribution to Daming, and there should not be much opposition when he moved out.

But what he never expected was that as soon as he said his idea, he was fiercely opposed by the ministers.

It is said that after Zhu Houxi became emperor, he was bent on showing his face, and let his father enter the main hall of the Taimiao Temple, so he crowned his father Zhu Youxi from Xingxian Wang to "Emperor Ruizong Xian", paving the way for his father's tablet to be placed in the Taimiao Temple.

However, what the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi did not expect was that as soon as his ideas were exported, they were resolutely opposed by the ministers. In fact, there is nothing strange about this, Zhu Houxi's imperial throne is not justified, and the ministers are not so bought by him. Before ascending the throne, Zhu Houxi had already exchanged fire with his ministers.

At that time, Zhu Houxi went to Beijing to take up his post after receiving a notice in his fiefdom of Hubei, and when they came to the outskirts of Beijing, according to the arrangement of Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, they asked the rebbe to greet Zhu Houxi with the etiquette of a prince, and entered from the Donghua Gate and lived in the Wenhua Hall.

That means that if you want to become emperor, you must first recognize your father and admit that you are Zhu Houzhao's son.

But Zhu Houxi was a filial son and did not want to be wronged by this, so he said to the right-hand man Shi Yuan Zonggao, who was beside him: ''The will is to take the throne of my heir to the emperor' throne, not the crown prince.' This means that the last will of the former emperor made me emperor, not me the emperor.

The two sides were deadlocked, and Zhu Houxi did not obey the arrangement of the prime minister even if he was not the emperor. However, the emperor's edict has already made it clear to the world that he wants Zhu Houxi to succeed him, and now that the emperor has died, he will not let Zhu Houxi succeed him, and no one will have this power, nor can he account to the people of the whole country.

Therefore, the empress dowager and the ministers made concessions, ordering the ministers to go to the letter to persuade them to advance, and Zhu Houxi received the note in the suburbs, swung in from the Daming Gate, and ascended the throne at the Fengtian Temple.

Shortly after taking the throne, conflicts broke out between the Jiajing Emperor and Zhu Houzhao's ministers over his father's entry into the Temple, and the dispute lasted for more than three years.

But after all, Jiajing's surname was Zhu, he was the legitimate successor, he was daming's number one, Daming Jiangshan surnamed Zhu, Yang Tinghe and the gang led by Yang Tinghe were after all Zhu Ming's subordinates, how could they fight the Jiajing Emperor?

The result of the struggle between the monarchs and the courtiers must be Jiajing's wishes.

In the face of the opposition of the ministers, Zhu Houxi was furious: Lao Tzu had already become emperor, and he could not even decide this matter, and he was still the boss.

In the three years of Jiajing, Yang Tinghe, the head of the state who served as a car with a mantis arm, became the former first assistant, "retired" "Back to his hometown, the ministers no longer dare not know each other, and Jiajing's matter of letting his father enter the main hall of the Taimiao Temple is no longer a problem."

So everything came according to the meaning of the Jiajing Emperor, first honoring his biological father as Emperor Xingxian, then adding him the title of Emperor Xian, and his birth mother as Empress Xingguo, and later changing his name to Emperor Xiaozongjing as "Emperor Bokao".

Later, Emperor Xingxian was posthumously honored as "Emperor Ruizong Zhitian Shou Dao HongdeYuan Ren Kuan Mu Chun Sheng Gong Jian Jing Wen Emperor", the tablet was promoted to the Taimiao Temple, ranked above Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, and the tomb of Emperor Xingxian was changed to a mausoleum, and the tablet of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Gaozi had to be moved to the side hall by a little grievance, and the "Great Ceremony Discussion" that lasted for several years finally ended with the victory of the Jiajing Emperor.
