Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo
In September of the first year of Taichang (1620), Zhu Changluo, the Mingguang Emperor who had just ascended the throne for only one month, died in the Forbidden City, known in history as the "Son of Heaven in January". Zhu Changluo's life, like his father Ming shenzong, was born by his father by chance, so Zhu Changluo did not get his father's love from an early age. In the course of his 39-year-old life, the first 20 years were unloved princes, the last 19 years were the trembling crown prince, and after a short period of more than a month of emperor career, he died and cried, leaving a cloud of doubts about the "red pill case"...
In the tenth year of the Wanli Dynasty (1582), the eldest son of emperor Wunu wangshi was born to the Shenzong sect, and was named Changluo, and the Wang clan was given the title of Concubine Gong. Subsequently, in the fourteenth year of the Wanli Calendar (1586), the emperor's favorite concubine Zheng Shisheng gave birth to the third son of The Emperor Chang Xun, and the Zheng clan was made a noble concubine. Princess Zheng Guifei had always wanted Wan Li to make her own son crown prince, but this idea violated the ancestral system and the feudal etiquette system, causing the courtiers to "dispute over the foundation of the country", and hundreds of internal and external officials wrote to the Wanli Emperor, demanding that the eldest son Zhu Changluo be made crown prince, and pointed out that the abolition of Chang Li would seriously affect the stability of the world. In desperation, the Wanli Emperor made his eldest son Zhu Changluo crown prince in October of the twenty-ninth year of the Wanli Calendar (1601), and the third son of the emperor, Chang Xun, the Prince of Fu (the one who was eaten by Li Zicheng). These twenty years of being a prince made Zhu Changluo tremble and tremble, he knew that his father did not like him, and he was afraid that he would be deposed at any time, and most of the time, he indulged in wine to entertain himself.
In July of the forty-eighth year of the Wanli Calendar (1620), the emperor died. In August, the crown prince, the emperor, took the throne and announced that he would change his name to Yuan Taichang the following year. Zhu Changluo was originally weak, and Concubine Zheng Guifei offered beautiful women one after another to please Emperor Guangzong, who entertained himself night and night without restraint. "Retreat to the inner feast, with female music to undertake, one day and two dan, all the yu yu yu yan", by the body is basically tired. On the tenth day of August, Emperor Guangzong summoned the imperial doctor to diagnose the disease, and on the fifteenth day, Cui Wensheng, a close eunuch of Concubine Zheng Guifei, sent "Tongli Medicine" (i.e., rhubarb) to the emperor, and in the following day and night, Guangzong had diarrhea thirty or forty times, and his body was extremely weak and in a state of exhaustion. In the incident, Yang Lian and other courtiers believed that Zhu Changluo was already weak and should be supplemented, but Cui Wensheng instead used laxatives, and his heart was uncertain. The two foreign relatives of the Guo and Wang clans both thought that there must be a conspiracy in it, and they went all over the court to the ministers, crying and complaining: "Cui Wen has promoted the medicine, so it is not wrong!" Then Cui Wensheng was expelled from the palace.
On August 29, Li Kezhuo, the emperor of Hongxu Temple, said that there was an elixir to be presented to the emperor. At this time, Zhu Changluo was already concerned about arranging the aftermath, and he knew that his fate was imminent, so he held the idea of trying it out and ordered Li Ke to enter the palace to offer medicine. By noon, I had eaten a red pill, indicating that I felt fine. So he insisted on taking another one, and after taking it, Zhu Changluo felt as comfortable as before, and there was no adverse reaction. But the next day, on friday, Zhu Changluo collapsed violently. The courtiers talked about it one after another, designating Li Kezhuo and Hong maru as the culprits who caused the emperor's violent death. At that time, the red pill was actually similar to the red lead pill that the Jiajing Emperor had taken, which was made of a woman's water, autumn stone, human milk, and tatsu sand, and the sexual heat was poisonous, which was exactly the opposite of the rhubarb medicine that Cui Wensheng had entered. Zhu Changluo, who was already weak, was tormented by the opposite performance and violent two-flavor drugs in his final years, how could he not collapse!
