In addition to Taizu and Chengzu, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all strange, and they did not go to the dynasty for decades, some of them fought against the moths, some of them built zoos, and one of them died after only one month as an emperor, known as "January Tianzi", and this emperor was Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the Wanli Emperor, and the temple number Guangzong.
Zhu Changluo's life was very unfortunate, because of his origin, his mother Wang Shi was the palace daughter of Empress Li, the mother of the Wanli Emperor, one day Wanli went to ask Empress Li for peace, just at a glance at the palace girl, Wanli had a hot mind, on the spot, he was lucky to be a palace girl, and then he took his pants and left, it was this accident that made the palace woman pregnant with Zhu Changluo. Wanli did not take this matter to heart at all, after that time he forgot, as the days passed, the belly of the palace daughter grew bigger and bigger, Empress Li found out and asked the reason, only to know about this matter, she called Wanli to ask questions, Wanli died and did not recognize the account, and finally Empress Li turned over the living note, Wanli had to admit it, so the palace daughter was named a concubine, and soon after Zhu Changluo was born and became the eldest son of the Wanli Emperor.
Wanli Emperor is extremely dislike for this eldest son, since Zhu Changluo was born, he has been in a state of free range, because Zhu Changluo is the son of the capital, so he has not been made a prince for a long time, according to the Ming Dynasty ancestral family law, there is a concubine, there is no concubine, the Wanli Emperor has no concubine, according to the custom, the position of the prince is not Zhu Changluo, but because Wang Gongfei is born low, completely unpopular with the Wanli Emperor, Zhu Changluo has not been made a prince, from childhood to adulthood, he has been in a state of being free-range, When I was a teenager, I had not yet left the cabinet to study, and I almost became illiterate.
In the end, the Wanli Emperor could not resist the pressure of Empress Li and his courtiers, and was forced to make him crown prince, but even so, Zhu Changluo's life did not improve much, his father still did not want to see him, his position as the prince could be lost at any time, because the Wanli Emperor favored Zheng Guifei, loved Wu and Wu, Wanli loved and Zheng Guifei's birth to the Fu King Zhu Changxun, if it were not for the courtiers and Empress Li supporting him, he would not be able to become a prince in his lifetime, but being a prince is not necessarily a good thing, as the saying goes, "tree big trick", There were people who wanted to harm him all the time, and these people were Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun, the Prince of Fu.
On the fourth day of the first month of May in the 43rd year of the Wanli Calendar (May 30, 1615), a man in his thirties, Zhang Cha, armed with a jujube stick, broke into the Ciqing Palace where the crown prince Zhu Changluo lived, beat everyone, injured many gatekeepers, and beat many of the gatekeepers until they reached the eaves in front of the palace. After the incident, Zhang Cha confessed that he was under the command of The eunuchs Pang Bao and Liu Cheng under Concubine Zheng.
In order to avoid the sins of her confidants, Zheng Guifei cried to the emperor. But the prince was almost killed, and the ministers of the DPRK and China talked about it, and the emperor was helpless, saying that it was best for you to seek forgiveness from the prince in this matter. Concubine Zheng Guifei personally knelt down to pay homage to Crown Prince Zhu Changluo to intercede, and the Crown Prince hurried back to worship. In the end, Emperor Shenzong and the crown prince did not want to investigate deeply, and killed Zhang Chayu on the charge of madness and adultery, and because the witnesses disappeared, Pang and Liu Er had no fear and denied that they were involved. On June 1, 1615, the forty-third year of the Wanli Calendar, Emperor Mingshen secretly ordered the eunuchs to execute Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, and the whole case could not be investigated.
The crown prince of the Tangtang Daming Dynasty was almost assassinated by a villain in the city, which shows how miserable Zhu Changluo's life was at that time. After the "attack case", Zheng Guifei relented, Zhu Changluo's life gradually developed in a good direction, and in July of the 48th year of the Wanli Calendar, Zhu Yijun died, zhu Changluo was the emperor, pardoned the world, and announced the change of Yuan Taichang. The life of the former sad prince has finally passed, and now he Zhu Changluo has become the emperor and the only master of the world, and the entire empire is his personal property, and he is the supreme supreme.
On July 22 and 24 of the 48th year of the Wanli Calendar, Emperor Taichang issued 1 million taels of silver each to reward the border guards in Liaodong and other places, dismissed the mining tax and the tax, withdrew the mining tax envoy, added cabinet ministers, and operated the center.
Just when the whole country was full of hope for the new emperor, Zhu Changluo fell ill, and he could not afford to be sick. Only ten days after Zhu Changluo held the enthronement ceremony, that is, the first ten days of August in the first year of Taichang (1620), he fell ill and cancelled the Celebration of The Next Day's Halloween. According to the "Guoyu" record, Zheng Guifei "entered the eight people who served Ji Ji, and the illness began to be worried". The Book of Sins also records: "And ascended to the pole, the noble concubine entered the beautiful concubine to serve the emperor." Ten days later, the emperor fell ill. "After so many years of repression, it is hard to indulge myself, but I can't afford to be sick because of excessive indulgence.
On August 14, Emperor Taichang became seriously ill and summoned the internal official Cui Wensheng to be cured. Cui Wensheng was originally a close eunuch in Zheng Guifei's palace, and after Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he was promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi, the superintendent of ceremonies, and after Zhu Changluo fell ill, Zheng Guifei instructed Cui Wensheng to enter the emperor with "Tongli Medicine", that is, rhubarb, as a eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy. Rhubarb is equivalent to a laxative. Therefore, in the following day and night, Zhu Changluo had diarrhea thirty or forty times in a row, and his body was extremely weak and in a state of exhaustion. On August 28, 1620, in the first year of Taichang (1620), Zhu Changluo summoned thirteen people, including zhang Weixian, the head of the cabinet, and Fang Congzhe, the head of the cabinet, into the palace, and asked the emperor's eldest son to come out to see them.
On August 29, 1620, in the first year of Taichang (1620), Li Kezhuo of Hongxu Temple said that there was an elixir to be presented to the emperor. The eunuchs did not dare to make decisions and informed the cabinet minister Fang Congzhe of the matter. Fang Congzhe said, "He who calls it an elixir does not dare to believe it." Then, the cabinet ministers went into the Qianqing Palace to visit Zhu Changluo. At this time, Zhu Changluo had already deliberately arranged the aftermath, handed over the eldest son of the emperor to the cabinet ministers to carefully assist, and asked about the construction of his mausoleum. After arranging everything, Zhu Changluo asked, "Where is the medicine for the officials of the Hongxu Temple?" Fang Congzhe said, "The Hongxu Temple's Cheng Li Ke burned from the Cloud Immortal Elixir, and the ministers did not dare to believe it. ”
Zhu Changluo knew that his fate was on the verge of death, so he held the idea of trying it out and ordered Li Ke to enter the palace to offer medicine. By noon, Li Kezhuo had prepared a red pill for the emperor to take. After Zhu Changluo finished taking the red pill, he felt fine, and let the internal attendant say: "After the Eucharist is medicated, it is warm and comfortable, and I think about drinking and eating." In the evening, Zhu Changluo ordered Li Kezhuo to enter another red pill. Although the imperial doctors all objected, Zhu Changluo insisted on taking another one. Therefore, Li Kezhuo let the emperor take another red pill. After taking the drug, Zhu Changluo felt at ease as before, and there were no adverse reactions. On September 26 of the first year of Taichang (1620), Zhu Changluo died at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve 8.
Therefore, the courtiers talked about it one after another, designating Li Kezhuo and Hong Pill as the culprits who caused the emperor's violent death, and also involved Fang Congzhe. However, Fang Congzhe and Li Kezhuo had hoped that Zhu Changluo would take the medicine and should not be held responsible for Zhu Changluo's death. Later, the cabinet scholar explained in detail the before and after of the medicine to Emperor Xizong, which enabled Fang Congzhe to get out of the predicament. The red pill, in fact, similar to the red lead pill that the Jiajing Emperor originally took, was made of women's water, autumn stone, human milk, and tatsu sand, and the sexual heat was exactly the opposite of the rhubarb medicine that Cui Wensheng had entered. Zhu Changluo, who was already weak, was tortured by two-flavor drugs with opposite performance and fierceness in his final years, and he died violently, known in history as the "Red Pill Case".
Zhu Changluo's life was tragic, before he was born, he was not welcomed by his father Wanli Emperor, and he was not easily made crown prince with the support of his grandmother Empress Li and all the ministers, but the status of the prince was precarious, every day was like walking on thin ice, conscientious for more than ten years, and finally survived until the Wanli Emperor died, he became the emperor himself, wanted to indulge, to alleviate the repression for more than ten years, but due to excessive indulgence, he finally died violently, reigning for only a few days, and was called "January Heavenly Son" by posterity. Even in the "History of Ming", there is no separate biography for him, and the emperor who is so depressed is the only one in history, and there is no one who has come after the ancients. The History of ming says of him: "Guangzong Qiande Jiuzhang, Hai Nei belongs to Wang." And the heir to January, the day does not take a holiday year. The measures were not carried out, and the three cases were disputed. The party is in trouble, but the sorrow is also a husband! ”
