Why not go up? The Wanli Emperor was a typical representative of greed for money and lust.
He did not go to court for thirty years, on the grounds that he was sick, and he still held a medicine box as a shield all day. There was a minister named Luo Yuren, who risked his death to give a note to the Wanli Emperor, saying that I diagnosed it, and the emperor, your disease can be summed up as four major symptoms: wine and wealth. Therefore, it is recommended that the emperor drink less wine, concubines pay less, wealth should be less occupied, and anger should be less.
Everyone thinks that the Wanli Emperor should be thin and small, in fact, he is a typical big fat man, more than two hundred pounds, and his right leg is obviously shorter than his left leg, suffering from serious foot diseases; The teeth are also not good, only twenty-two, and he likes to smoke a lot.
People always imagine that the emperor eats delicious mountains and seas, and eats fat heads and big ears. In fact, in addition to the grassroots counterattack, the emperors have been brocade clothes and jade food since childhood, and they have long lost interest in big fish and meat. And from ancient times to the present, the children of rich people have been all opened from a young age to the music and physical beauty interest class, and the royal family in order to maintain their dominance, the same "chicken baby", horseback riding and archery These sports are necessary classes. However, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are mostly big fat people, Zhu Yuanzhang is, and the Wanli Emperor is also, it should be a genetic problem.
For this reason, he is reluctant to meet people and activities. I like to lie down. He loves Concubine Zheng very much, and the two of them are not happy to go out, simply, stay in bed all day long, drink, read and play.
Psychology teachers said that people with physical disabilities often have psychological defects, and the most typical manifestation is that they will not easily show their bodies to the opposite sex and will have low self-esteem.
Some people will ask, the whole river and mountain are his, why should he be greedy for money?
What is packed into your pocket is what is truly your own.
What is the real reason why he did not go to court?
In fact, it is a mess with the cabinet group.
Because of what?
In order to establish who is the crown prince, history is called "the dispute between the foundation of the country". Wanli wanted to make the baby born to Concubine Zheng Guifei the crown prince, and the cabinet group immediately moved Zhu Yuanzhang out, and the ancestor had a rule on the establishment of a crown prince: there is a concubine, and there is no concubine. But the Wanli Emperor really liked his eldest son, because he got a one-night stand. One day the Wanli Emperor went to play with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was not in the palace maid, and the sex was a hit, the palace maid was pregnant, was born, still a male baby, named Zhu Changluo.
The Wanli Emperor was just a momentary nature, did not want to be responsible, and was even very angry, and did not say anything when she was pregnant, but gave birth directly. The cabinet minister had to take care of everything, and when he saw that the emperor did not want to be responsible, he moved out the rules of the ancestors, so the palace maid became an imperial princess, and after her death, she was posthumously named Empress Xiaojing by her grandson. But the Wanli Emperor did not look at this palace maid from his heart, so Empress Xiaojing's life was basically spent in seclusion, and when she was dying, the Wanli Emperor allowed Zhu Changluo to take a look at his mother and say goodbye.
Because of the establishment of the crown prince, there was a dispute for fifteen years, and in the end it was the cabinet that defeated the emperor.
The emperor thought, since you don't let me and my favorite woman baby be the prince, Laozi will not play with you, you can toss as much as you like, I can accompany my Zheng Guifei with peace of mind.
That's why he didn't go to court.
The follow-up story is:
After the death of the Wanli Emperor, he had already named Zhu Youxiao as the imperial grandson in his will. However, because of the "dispute between the country and the foundation", Zhu Youxiao and his grandfather were not very well received. His father is better, at least according to the standards of the prince, but what about Zhu Youxiao? He never went to school, and even his right to education in the palace was inferior to that of the eunuchs of the eunuchs. In the past, the prince teacher easily became the emperor's confidant, Zhu Youxiao did not go to school, where did the teacher come from? But there were eunuchs who accompanied him since he was a child, so this eunuch took the throne, called Li Jinzhong, and later, he changed his name to a more familiar name, Wei Zhongxian.
During Zhu Youxiao's seven years of reign, imperial government was basically controlled by Wei Zhongxian alone.
How old did Zhu Youxiao ascend the throne? Sixteen.
Some will ask, only twenty-three died?
Yes, like his father, he was poisoned by eating immortal medicine. There are two types of people who pursue the most extreme health preservation, one is the ancient emperor, and the other is a health expert, but it is also the easiest to return to heaven halfway.
Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, why the didn't he obey the government?
His mother is Wang, who lost to Li Xuanshu in a palace fight and died of humiliation, and Zhu Youxiao was raised by Li Xuanshu. After the death of his father, Li Xuanshu wanted to control the imperial government, but the cabinet group did not agree, and the two sides began to seize Zhu Youxiao, and in the end, the cabinet group won, and Li Xuanshu was expelled from the Qianqing Palace and moved to the Gongluan Palace. The climax came, and within a few days, the palace caught fire, and Li Xuanxian was almost burned to death. This is another case of the three major suspicious cases at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the palace transfer case.
However, the Chongzhen Emperor said that Li Xuan's attendants were very good and cared for the three brothers.
Speaking of Chongzhen, it is equivalent to Puyi's appearance.
Later generations evaluated them differently. Puyi was a puppet emperor of Manchuria and a puppet of the Japanese; And Chongzhen's law of death is very emperor. Look at this description: On April 25, 1644, before dawn, the Chongzhen Emperor took the eunuch Wang Chengen and left the Forbidden City from the Shenwu Gate and ascended to the highest place in Jingshan Mountain in the north, and he finally glanced at the Forbidden City, which was already 224 years old, and then martyred his own dynasty.
It's embarrassing.
Chongzhen had political ambitions, and as soon as he came to power, he quelled the castration that Wei Zhongxian had sparked. In the seventeen years of his reign, he got up early and greedy, forgot to sleep and eat, and worked hard to govern, and he wanted to turn the tide, but unfortunately things backfired, and finally let the king Li Zicheng serve the old nest.
Some people will ask, what did you do before the uprising?
Work for a state-run courier company. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the finances became more and more tight, and it was necessary to constantly slim down, so Li Zicheng was made a laid-off worker, not only had no food, but also the government urged grain and paid money, and the landlord forced debts to collect rent, and finally forced Li Zicheng into the rebel army, and then stood out.
Some people will ask, is it true that Li Zicheng eats human flesh?
There are many versions, there is no way to tell, let's listen to the real story. It was Zhu Changxun, the Fu King, who was the beloved son born to the Wanli Emperor and Zheng Guifei, and the prince did not fight, and the Wanli Emperor arranged for him to dominate Luoyang. In 1640, Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang, slaughtered several deer, cut Zhu Changxun's meat and stewed it in a pot, which was called the Fulu Banquet and shared it with the soldiers.
Thirty or forty years ago, there was a very popular historical novel, called "Li Zicheng", which also won the Mao Dun Literature Award, written by Yao Xueyin.
In the Chinese of that era, the era known to the whole people, you can not eat enough, wear and warm, but you cannot ignore national affairs. In this book, Li Zicheng seems to be the rising sun. The book was first written in 1957, lasted more than 30 years, and wrote five parts, fortunately, he did not finish writing when he was dying, otherwise, there would be no ending, how to write Li Zicheng's ending?
Li Zicheng's emperor, why didn't he stop it?
Internally, he is a bit like Huang Chao, only knows how to attack the city, has no solid base, and is typical of rogueism. What is the most taboo thing about war? Victory is a thousand miles, and loss is a loss. We look at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been entrenched in Nanjing for many years before launching a general attack, and his foundation was very solid. From the external cause, Daming has reached the end of the road and is certain to die. There is a king inside, and there is a Qing army outside, but who can have the last laugh depends on military strength, and the final competition is economic strength. In this regard, the king and the Qing army are incomparable, behind the rise of the Qing army, there are enough huge economic reserves, and military strength is the external embodiment of economic strength.
Some dynasties in the late period have a half-dynasty, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not make a Southern Ming Dynasty?
In fact, it really made a Nanming. Nanjing has always been the vice capital of the Ming Dynasty, and when the capital fell, the vice capital immediately became independent. The emperor's name was Zhu Yousong, son of Zhu Changxun and cousin of the Chongzhen Emperor. However, Nanming has no sense of historical existence and can almost be ignored.
Why?
Although the Southern Ming regime lasted for eighteen years, it was always defeated, retreating from Nanjing to Fuzhou and then to Zhaoqing, becoming a guerrilla. In fact, in the eyes of the common people, Chongzhen was martyred, and the Ming Dynasty ended.
How many people did the Qing army enter the customs? An army of 100,000.
The invincibility of the Qing army was not only because of their strong combat effectiveness, but also because the military generals who originally served the Ming Dynasty led their troops and horses to surrender to the Qing, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army snowballed.
Why didn't these officials choose Nanming? After all, Nanming represents orthodoxy.
All blame the king of trespassing, the king of trespassing broke through the Forbidden City, the Son of Heaven died, everyone felt that the sky had changed, and the surname of the world in the future was Li, so hurry up and kowtow and accept the new appointment. Just after standing in line, I found that the king was a straw bale, and he was beaten by the Qing army. Southern Ming could not go, firstly, because he had already betrayed the Ming Dynasty, he could only choose the Qing army, and at this point, Li Zicheng achieved the Qing army. Second, the Southern Ming regime is too weak, the economy, military, management ability and population are weak, and the slogans are shouted loudly, and without hard power, it cannot support the Ming Dynasty.
How did the Qing army rise?
The ancestor of the Qing army was Nur Hachi, who was once a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, serving as the governor of Jianzhou Weidu, the general of Dragon and Tiger, and the second-grade official, equivalent to today's division commander. Why was Nurhachi a Ming Dynasty official as the leader of the Jurchen tribe? This is related to the Ming Dynasty's ethnic policy of destroying and destroying in eastern Liaoning. Which Jurchen tribe is strong, support his opponent against this side, and the tribes are busy checking and balancing each other, and will not worry about the Daming River. At that time, Nurhachi was supported against another group. When his group grew, he knew in his heart that the Ming Dynasty would definitely use the same means to balance and liquidate itself. If nothing else, first unify the Jurchen tribe. When Nurhachi unified the Jurchen tribe and established the Houjin regime, he found that the Ming Dynasty was being pinched by the neck of the king and was dying. If you don't shoot at this time, when will you wait?!
Somewhat similar to the plot of a science fiction movie, the robots in the laboratory kill and breed people.
Houjin is rising, and the Ming Dynasty is engaged in trade blockade and military strikes, and it seems that Houjin is strangling to death. As a result, he was stabbed in the back by Li Zicheng, and the Ming Dynasty's hand slowly loosened.
Why did the Manchus force the Han to shave their hair and keep their hair braided? Keep your head without hair, grow your hair without your head. Does a hairstyle matter so much?
The ancients believed that "the parents who suffer from the skin of the body dare not destroy it", so the Han people before the Qing Dynasty wore long hair and crowns. The Manchus used shaving as a deterrent, a sign of obedience, a sign of complete spiritual subjugation of the Han people. However, at that time, there were not a few people who would rather die than shave.
How did this hairstyle come about?
It was the early Qing Dynasty forced to push the shaving order, not to let them shave into the kind of hairstyle in the Qing palace drama now, but similar to a bald head, leaving only a small tuft, called "money rat tail", the braid is thinner than the little finger, and can pass through the hole in the middle of the coin to count. It is said that the Jurchen tribe has a god of war called bundle function, born bald, only with hair on the back, known as "bald bundle function". Nurhachi adored him so much that he followed his example and took the initiative to shave his hair in front. Later, when the Jurchens were unified, the customs of the tribes were inconsistent, which was not conducive to unity, and Nurhachi thought of unifying clothing and hairstyles to strengthen cohesion, which is an effective routine, which can refer to Buddhism. Later, the Manchu hairstyle grew more and more, and the mid-term braid changed from "rat's tail" to "pig's tail", and by the time it slowly evolved into the thickness of "oxtail", it was already late Qing.
The names Nurhachi gave to children are mostly carnivorous beasts in Manchu, arranged according to body size. Huang Taiji's original name was Hei Huan Bolie, which means wolf, and Dolgon is a badger. It's good to name it after an animal, Nurhach's grandson Bolo, what does it mean? Cool hats. Others are named after physiological characteristics. For example, what does it mean to be a shell Furata? Rotten eyelids.
I quite like Huang Taiji, I feel very docile, without the barbarism of Nur Hachi.
And often mildness, is the highest level of violence.
Really strong people are confident, self-confidence will be gentle, gentle will be firm, no violence, no need to kill, in a word, there is absolute strength in the heart and hands.
In addition to braids, what else did the Qing Dynasty bring us?
Qipao, the flag means eight flags, and the robe worn by the Manchus is called "qipao".
The cheongsam in our concept is an improved version of the Republic of China with Westernized elements. The bold improvement of the cheongsam during the Republic of China can be said to be an amazing revolution in the history of Chinese clothing.
Everyone thought that ancient women wore cheongsam, which turned out to be only two or three hundred years old.
This is cultural immersion!
In twenty or thirty years, it will give people the feeling of being earth-shaking, deep-rooted, and ancient times. Do you think wine culture lasts long?
Five thousand years of wine culture, long enough, China has a wine culture, but there is no alcohol culture. Today's wine table culture in the north is actually passed down by Soviet aid experts. This is only a few decades old?
Speaking of the USSR, when I went to Russia, I saw the pentagram on the Kremlin, I had a trance, isn't this the one Pan Dongzi wears? Why is Russia coming?
This is just the tip of the iceberg, if you count carefully, there are many things passed over from the same period, all over every corner of your life, including our constitution formulation, education system, cultural and artistic review mechanism, the style of teaching buildings, nursing homes, government-run associations, round seals, workers' cultural palaces, motherland, always ready, and the shining five-pointed star you said, all of which have been integrated into our lives in just a few decades. There are some things that you think should be very old and old, but they are actually very young. For example, Peking Opera, do you think it should have a history of thousands of years? In fact, it originated in the Qing Dynasty, and it took only a few days.
If these characters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties are pulled onto social platforms, who will be the popularity king?
It must be Wang Sicong at the end of the Ming Dynasty - Zhang Dai.
Why?
Do you think Wang Sicong is popular?
Speaking of which, it should be the first popular king of Weibo.
But compared to Zhang Dai, Wang Sicong can only be regarded as an amateur player. Zhang Dai is more prominent than Wang Sicong in terms of life, his ancestors are officials for four generations, his great-grandfather Zhang Yuanbian is from a champion, his father Zhang Yaofang is the king of Shandong Lu Changshi, relatives and friends are all scholars and artists who were famous at that time, both the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich and the second generation of art. If he really opens an account on social platforms, he can be popular all over the world, because this guy is proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, especially good at prostitution, and has a special research on Yangzhou skinny horses.
What is Yangzhou skinny horse?
It's the little girl sold by the poor family, thin and small. The old bustard went to the talent market to select, choose a good look, potential, bring back to the concentration camp to create, Qinqi calligraphy and painting, when he grows up, or sell it to a rich man as a concubine, or send it to the Qin Lou Chu Guan. Yangzhou skinny horses belong to one of the four major factions of prostitutes. On the banks of the Qinhuai River, most of the "Yangbang song girls" are from "thin horses".
What are the other three factions?
The "West Lake Boat Girl" who is good at making atmosphere, the "Taishan Nun" who is good at subduing seduction, and the "Datong Aunt" who is good at technological breakthroughs.
Nuns also mixed in? It's unimaginable. Young nuns and wealthy merchants and celebrities "communicate" with each other in depth in the ashram alone, with the solemnity of a monk and a beautiful and elegant demeanor.
If Zhang Dai had sent out these experiences, he would have been detained long ago?
The Ming Dynasty did not have Weibo, he had nowhere to show off, simply, wrote an epitaph. His epitaph was written by himself before his death, saying how to prostitute, how to play, how to mess in this life. I'll read it and listen to you: "Shuren Zhang Dai, Taoan Qi number also." Less for the children of the gentlemen, love prosperity, good house, good beauty, good children, good fresh clothes, good food, good horses, good lanterns, good fireworks, good pear orchards, good advocates, good antiques, good flowers and birds, and tea and oranges, book beetles and poetry, and work for half a life, all become dreams. At the age of fifty, the country was broken and the family died, and he took refuge in the mountains. The survivors, broken beds, broken pianos, and broken books, are only missing inkstones. Cloth thinning, often until the end of cooking.... ”
Wide range of hobbies...
Later, after retiring from the rivers and lakes, he single-handedly wrote an encyclopedia "Night Sailing Boat", which is all-encompassing, as if Wang Sicong wrote everything he saw and heard.
His "Self-titled Portrait" wrote: Meritorious name is in vain, wealth is like a dream, loyal minister is afraid of pain, hoe is afraid of weight, and after twenty years of writing, he is only able to cover the urn, is the person who is useful or not? The translation is: the reputation has been lost, the wealth is always like a dream, want to be a loyal minister to die to serve the country but are a little afraid of pain, want to be a farmer for self-sufficiency but afraid of a heavy hoe, and the book that has been written for twenty years is only worthy of a tile urn, is a person like this useful or not?
This guy's epitaph is the first person in history.
Only Wu Zetian's wordless monument is comparable to it, and I will leave a blank space for you, and the merits will be commented on by posterity.
In the past, including today's historical research, most of the historical research revolved around emperors. In a few decades, perhaps people's interest in history will turn to interesting souls, and then Zhang Dai will become the popular king of history. Zhang Dai made achievements in the fields of history and literature, he enjoyed the prosperity of the world when he was young, and after his death in the Ming Dynasty, he took refuge in the mountains, and was destitute, even so, he died at the age of 93. Someone once asked Jin Yong: "How should I spend my life?" ”
The old gentleman replied: "Make a big fuss and leave quietly." ”
