After the Battle of Jing, Zhu Di, who ascended the throne, returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. After the ceremony, Zhu Di rarely made a micro-inspection, and came to a Taoist temple while walking. At this time, it was late, and at the invitation of the female Taoist priest, Zhu Di decided to stay overnight.
Don't you know that there was an undercurrent surging at night, Zhu Di Longyan was furious, and on the second day, he ordered to arrest all the Daogu and nuns, what happened?
Zhu Di's "guilt"
Crown Prince Ming Zhu Biao left before Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very painful, so he gave all his hopes and expectations to his grandson Zhu Yunjiang. What Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect was that he tried his best to pull out the various heroes who followed him to establish the Ming Dynasty, but ignored his son.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang planned very well, even if these heroes who could fight were gone, there were two kings who could fight King Yan and King Ning to protect Zhu Yunjiang. However, after Zhu Yunjiang took the throne, the slashing of the domain was too harsh, which aroused the resentment of Zhu Di the King of Yan, and the Battle of Jing broke out.
After four years of war, Zhu Di succeeded in obtaining the throne from his nephew. Although he is in the name of "Qingjun's side", he actually can't block the world's mouths at all. For this reason, Zhu Di killed batch after batch of Zhu Yunjiang fans.
When the general trend was set, Zhu Di sat down on the dragon chair that he thought about day and night. But the courtier immediately stopped it, telling Zhu Di that even if the name had been typed, in fact, the people would still be suspicious, and if they did not sacrifice their ancestors to ascend the throne, they would undoubtedly give people a handle.
Zhu Di suddenly realized that indeed, the "Qing Jun's side" seemed to be invulnerable, but in fact he was a rebel who sought power and usurped the throne. Whether it was the distrust of the people or the clan, or his own heart, the instructions to Zhu Yuanzhang and the guilt for his brother Zhu Biao, he needed to go through a scene.
So he took the advice of his courtiers and began to hold a sacrifice, but it was this ceremony that almost cost Zhu Di's life. What happened?
Taoist temples
Since Fengyang came out of Zhu Yuanzhang, an originally poor place has prospered for a while. The common people have no worries about food and clothing, and naturally need the sustenance of faith. Soon there were many temples, all of which set off the majesty of the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family.
After the complicated ceremony, Zhu Di finally put down his mind and could officially start the enthronement ceremony. Before returning to Beijing, Zhu Di, who was full of red light, went out on patrol, which can be regarded as relaxing the nerves that had been tense for four years.
In fact, it is said that it is a micro-suit patrol, Zhu Di's mind is not focused on playing at all, and he is thinking about how to fulfill the ambition in his chest. Unexpectedly, the sky darkened as he walked, and he didn't have time to rush back, and Zhu Di, who had nowhere to stay, happened to see a Taoist temple called the Falling Phoenix Temple.
Zhu Di and his party walked into the Taoist Temple and found that the Taoist Temple was full of Taoist aunts, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange. However, he was really hungry, so he pretended to be a passing merchant, and went up the mountain to play and delay his return, hoping to allow some fasting and tea.
The leader of the Guan Lord, who called himself Qingxuanzi, was born beautiful and dignified, and not only gave Zhu Di and the others tea and rice, but also invited them to stay and wait until dawn before going down the mountain.
Zhu Diben didn't think much about it, but when he accidentally saw the Daoist aunts holding clubs, he asked suspiciously. Qing Xuanzi sighed and told Zhu Di that this was because there was a hidden dragon temple next to it, and the monks inside were doing evil, which was just for self-preservation.
Hearing the name of the Hidden Dragon Temple, Zhu Di was originally unhappy, how could anyone dare to use this "dragon" character in front of the Son of Heaven? Listening to Qing Xuanzi's explanation, he was even more disgusted in his heart, so he quietly sent someone to inquire. Soon the news came, what Qingxuanzi said was true, these monks had been doing evil for a long time.
However, the affairs of the monks should not be taken care of by Zhu Di, so he did not pay much attention to it, and when he finished eating, he went back to his room to rest under the guidance of Daogu.
In the dead of night, the bright moon was high, and suddenly a fine sound woke Zhu Di. Zhu Di opened his eyes and was shocked - Qing Xuanzi raised his short sword and stabbed at him! How could Qing Xuanzi be the opponent of the battle-hardened Zhu Di? After the first blow missed, he was knocked down by Zhu Di.
At the same time, the brocade guards in civilian clothes heard Zhu Di shouting for escort, and ran out of the room one after another, three times five divided by two to solve the Daoist aunts who surrounded them, and they didn't expect that there were shouts outside the Taoist Temple, and the monks of the Hidden Dragon Temple also killed them.
Fortunately, although Zhu Di only brought a few people up the mountain, his guards were stationed halfway up the mountain. The guards who noticed the strange situation rushed up, and the monks had no room to resist at all. After interrogating Zhu Di, he learned that these people were all relatives of Zhu Yunjiang's fans, and they came specifically to assassinate Zhu Di.
Zhu Di never expected that he had killed so many people who supported Zhu Yunjiang, and there were so many fish that slipped through the net. Obviously, these people had long known the news of Zhu Di's trip and had prepared the assassination operation in advance.
So just after dawn the next day, Zhu Di, who was furious with Long Yan, ordered all monks and Daogus to be executed, and strictly investigated the people who leaked the news.
However, this story is only a folk rumor, and its origins are a peasant uprising - the White Lotus Sect.
White Lotus Sect
According to legend, there was a woman named Tang Saier, who was in Shandong when there was a serious famine in Shandong, and caught up with the Ming Dynasty's preparations for a northern invasion of Mongolia, and the relief grain was withheld layer by layer, and only a few of them reached the hands of the victims. So Tang Saier called herself "Buddha Mother" and established the White Lotus Sect, using her faith to set off a huge peasant uprising.
By the time Zhu Di got the news, Shandong had already fallen to many places. The Northern Expedition was imminent, and in order to stabilize the rear, Zhu Di had no choice but to use the Huairou policy to recruit the White Lotus Sect. Unexpectedly, Tang Saier ignored it and continued to organize military activities.
Zhu Di, who was embarrassed and angry, postponed the Northern Expedition and sent troops to suppress the White Lotus Sect, but key thief leaders such as Tang Saier and Bing Hong had already escaped. Enraged, Zhu Di beheaded officials in Shandong who did not act from top to bottom.
Unable to tolerate the rebellion, Zhu Di assigned Jinyiwei to search for information, and finally found out that Tang Saier was pretending to be a nun and a female Taoist priest to avoid the search, so he ordered the arrest of tens of thousands of female monks across the country. But after investigating, there was still no news of Tang Saier, so it was gone.
There is also a saying that according to the "Records of the Nine Dynasties", Tang Saier was not afraid after being caught, and he could not be injured by the sword when he was tortured. In desperation, he had to continue to be detained. Who knew that the handcuffs and anklets would automatically fall off, and Tang Saier quietly disappeared in the heavily defended prison, without a trace.
The author of "Nine Dynasties and Wild" is named Zhu Yunming, that is, Zhu Zhishan, one of the four great talents. This book records many events such as the cruelty of criminal law in Zhu Di's early years, but it is mixed with too many trivial stories and grotesque rumors to cross-reference with the official history.
It can be seen that most of the folklore represents the emotional sustenance of the people at that time. Zhu Biao's father and son are benevolent and love the people, and Zhu Di has been fighting for many years to work and lose money, so these stories will be passed down.
