One night in 1542, the Jiajing Emperor was preparing to untie his concubines. Suddenly, a tragic accident occurred, and the 16 palace women who had been ambushed in advance were wrapped with ropes around Jiajing's neck.
In 1521, the 14-year-old Emperor Ming ascended the throne and was known as the "Jiajing Emperor". After succeeding to the throne, the life of the Jiajing Emperor was very absurd, he had a wide range of concubines, and his private life could not be controlled.
In order to enable himself to live a long life, Jiajing believed in Taoism and became fascinated by the art of immortality. And he also has a strange and even perverted hobby, he likes to use women's menstrual blood, virgin boy and girl urine to make a variety of "pills of great supplement", taking it on time every day, hoping to increase his spirit and satisfy his absurd harem life.
In order to be able to obtain the women's menstrual blood on time and in quantity, many palace maids lost their human dignity and endured great shame. Moreover, the Jiajing Emperor treated them harshly and unkindly, and his personality was moody, often angry at the palace concubines.
One night in 1542, the 35-year-old Jiajing Emperor came to the bedside of his favorite concubine Cao Shi and looked at the beautiful and moving concubine, and the Jiajing Emperor was overwhelmed, and he untied the concubine's wide clothes like a monkey. After some intimacy, Emperor Jiajing felt very tired, his eyelids were closed, and he quickly fell asleep, and concubine Cao Shi saw that Jiajing was asleep, so he got up alone and went to sleep in another room.
As everyone knows, at this time, the god of death is already slowly approaching the Jiajing Emperor.
In the middle of the night, the 16 palace ladies who had "ambushed" in advance quietly walked to Jiajing's bed, took out the rope that had been prepared long ago, and put it around Jiajing's neck while he was asleep.
Why did these palace ladies put Jiajing to death? It was precisely because the Jiajing Emperor took away their menstrual blood in an absurd and unruly manner that these palace women were greatly devastated physically and mentally. They regarded Jiajing as an enemy and were eager to crush his corpse into thousands of pieces, and they plotted for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity to come.
Although these 16 palace ladies were weak little women, they had great hatred, and they did not have time to worry about the guilt and fear of killing the emperor, so everyone flocked to tighten the rope in unison, hoping to blade the enemy.
But after all, they were committing crimes for the first time and had no experience. In a panic, more than a dozen people tied the rope into a dead knot and put it around the neck of the Jiajing Emperor, and at this time, it could not be tightened under any circumstances.
At this critical time, a man discovered the tragedy and went to report it to the Empress, who led the Internal Guard to capture all 16 palace maidens.
At this time, the Jiajing Emperor had been tossed to death, and although the rope was untied, he had been unconscious.
Such a huge event occurred, the empress had to quickly invite the Tai Doctor, and when the Tai Doctor was helpless, she turned her heart sideways and gave Jia Jing a large amount of blood medicine before he woke up.
This event occurred in 1542 AD, which coincided with the lunar year of Nongyin, which ming history called "Nongyin Palace Change". In this palace change, all 16 palace women were executed, and the innocent concubine Cao Shi was also eliminated by the empress.
The Jiajing Emperor, who was immortal, after this catastrophe, was still obsessed with it and did not learn a lesson, and he was still very obsessed with Taoism in the later period of his reign, and he took a large number of elixirs. But he no longer dared to mutilate innocent lives, did not dare to collect the menstrual blood of young women, and he changed the raw material of the pill to the urine of virgin boys and girls.
In 1543, a year after this event, the Jiajing Emperor seemed to have downplayed the palace coup. He was not even ashamed, but said proudly, "If I had not been blessed by heaven to quell this palace change, how could I have today?" ”
For his perverted behavior, the Jiajing Emperor did not have the slightest sense of self-blame, but instead thought that it was his own destiny, and this wrong thinking made him mistakenly think that it was a gift from Taoism.
In @Avenues Little Snail it seems:
1: The Jiajing Emperor was still very successful in the early days, and he carried out drastic reforms and made great efforts to govern, hoping to create the glory of the Hongwu period. However, he was obsessed with lust and Taoism, and his temperament changed greatly, and he mutilated the palace women, and eventually let himself almost die. If he knew how to temper his lusts, he might be able to make the Ming Dynasty move forward healthily and steadily.
2:16 Palace ladies dared to defend their dignity and take revenge on the imperial power, and their courage was commendable, leaving their names in history. According to historical records, the 16 palace ladies include: Yang Jinying, Su Chuan, Yang Yuxiang, Xing Cuilian, Yao Shucui, Yang Cuiying and others.
The courage of the 16 palace ladies was commendable, but they lacked experience and lost to the absolute authority of the emperor, so the assassination could only end in failure. If they succeed, the history of Ming may be rewritten.
3: The so-called "Tao" in the heart of the Jiajing Emperor was based on the legitimate interests of others, which shows that the ancient Taoist concept was biased to a certain extent. This concept and practice of lacking scientific basis, deviating from medical common sense, and satisfying the selfish desires of the emperor at the expense of human dignity and destroying the physical and mental health of slaves is doomed to be severely counterattacked.
