In 1620, Emperor Mingxi succeeded Zhu Youxue, and the entire Ming Dynasty was immersed in the joy of the new emperor's succession. And among all the cheering people, there was a palace girl over 33 years old, but she was the happiest.
The succession of the new emperor may be more of a celebration for others. For this palace girl, it was a harvest of fifteen years of hard work. This palace maid was called Ke Yinyue, and she had been taking care of zhu you as a nursing lady since she was born at Zhu You's school. That year, Keyin Yue was only eighteen years old.
01 The Emperor's Grace
Born in the countryside of Hebei Province, when she was eighteen years old, the goddess of luck suddenly came to her. The original ordinary life, but because of a chance, a huge change has occurred.
In 1605, crown prince Zhu Changluo was pleased with his son, which should have been a national celebration, but because the Wanli Emperor did not like Zhu Changluo's son, he did not dare to celebrate excessively.
Even for his son Zhu Youxiao to find such a big thing, Zhu Changluo did an extremely low-key thing. And Ke Yinyue, who looks sweet and has just given birth to a child, entered the palace under these many coincidences and made a nursing mother for the little prince Zhu Youxiao.
Since then, Zhu Youxiao has grown up in the company of Ke Yinyue, and the relationship between the two people has long surpassed the ordinary master-servant relationship with the passage of time. Because of keyinyue's excellent appearance and great interest in the affairs of men and women, this gave the young Zhu Youxue a different kind of stimulation.
After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, Ke Yinyue was named Lady Fengsheng, and her son Hou Guoxing was also named a thousand households of Jinyiwei, which can be described as a high favor.
02 The poisonous and spicy guest seal moon
Keyin Yue held the grace of Zhu Youxue and enjoyed extremely high treatment during his reign. Whenever Keyinyue celebrates his birthday, Zhu Youxue, no matter how busy he is, will personally go to congratulate him. And the pomp and circumstance of the guest's travel is no less than that of the emperor. Every time I leave the palace, it is clear of dust, cigarettes are swirling, and the cry of "Mrs. Old Ancestor Chitose" is tremendous.
This kind of violation of etiquette law by Ke Yinyue has long aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China. However, due to the emperor's favor and the poisonous nature of the guest Yinyue, the ministers also dared to be angry and dare not speak.
At that time, the eunuch Wang An, who was the superintendent of ceremonies, was killed by Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian because he had offended Ke Yinyue. And Wei Zhongxian also became the largest eunuch in the history of the Ming Dynasty because he climbed the big tree of Keyinyue, and the two could be described as adulterous.
In addition, Ke Yinyue was also worried that the emperor's concubines would give birth to the crown prince, and the mother would rely on the son to be expensive, thus losing favor to herself. Therefore, Ke Yinyue used all kinds of cruel and poisonous means to suppress and mutilate the imperial concubine and the crown prince. As a result, although some princes of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yu School gave birth, none of them grew up.
3 Whipped to death in the Raccoon Bureau
In 1627, at the age of 22, Emperor Mingxi died of illness. Since Zhu Youxiao did not leave a crown prince, he was succeeded by his brother Sizong, which was also the Chongzhen Emperor.
The Chongzhen Emperor was different from Zhu Youxiao, who was already full of worries about Daming's precarious country. Therefore, the first thing the Chongzhen Emperor did after succeeding to the throne was to remove the forces of KeYinyue and Wei Zhongxian, and send Wei Zhongxian to Fengyang, Anhui to guard the imperial tomb.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian also understood that the general trend had gone, so he hanged himself on the way to Fengyang. And Ke Yinyue did not have such good luck as Wei Zhongxian, and she was able to die so painfully, she was first assigned to the Huan Clothing Bureau to wash clothes.
Later, after Wei Zhongxian's death, the Chongzhen Emperor ordered that Ke Yinyue be whipped to death, which should be extremely painful. After her death, she was burned to ashes, and her son Hou Guoxing and brother Ke Guangxian were also beheaded on the same day.
