Zhu Changluo was the most legendary emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the three major mysteries of the Ming Palace were related to him, the Wanli Emperor did not like the prince, his position was once precarious, after thirty-nine years of suffering, he finally got the coveted emperor throne, but in the early morning of the thirtieth day of his reign, the emperor who was just about to spread his wings and fly away inexplicably. Zhu Changluo's life is similar to that of his father, the Wanli Emperor, who was also born by his father by chance, but although they are all lucky, Zhu Zai is more responsible than Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun did not like this prince in his heart, thinking that the birth of this prince was an ugly thing for him. This idea lasted for thirty-nine years until the death of the Wanli Emperor. The life after the birth of the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, can be imagined.

The Wanli Emperor favored Zheng Guifei, and even regarded Zheng Guifei's son Zhu Changxun as a pearl in his hand, plus Zheng Guifei blew the wind all day by the Pillow of the Wanli Emperor, and the Wanli Emperor had long had the idea of abolishing Chang Liyou. Wanli first made Zheng a noble concubine, while the eldest son's mother was still a concubine, which was not in line with the ancient system, and secondly, zhu Changluo was delayed in letting him go to school when he grew up, and then he came up with the idea of three kings and sealing them together, and made all the princes kings to reduce the status of the eldest son, fortunately, these tricks were recognized by the ministers, and finally did not succeed. After that, a dispute over the foundation of the country broke out, and the ministers used their lives and blood to fight for the position of prince for the crown prince's eldest son, Zhu Changluo.
After becoming crown prince, Zhu Changluo did not settle down, and the struggle inside and outside the palace always threatened his position and even his life. Fortunately, Zhu Changluo had gradually matured in the brutal struggle, and all aspects of the performance were in the middle distance, so that the Wanli Emperor had nothing to say. Just when the position of crown prince was gradually stabilizing, the most anxious person was Zheng Guifei, who did not hesitate to make a desperate bet in order to let his son sit on the emperor's throne. The attack took place under such historical conditions. At noon one day, a strong man with a jujube stick broke into the tai womb and prepared to carry out an assassination, but fortunately, when he was caught by the eunuch on duty on the spot, Zhu Changluo was able to avoid a disaster, how could a peasant break into the heavily guarded palace, and how could he easily find the palace where the prince lived. After repeated trials, the case involved Zheng Guifei, but there was no further investigation, and the two eunuchs acted as substitute ghosts, and the case ended hastily. However, whether this case was directed by Zheng Guifei is inconclusive. This case became one of the three major cases of the Ming Palace.
No matter what, in the forty-eighth year of the Wanli Calendar, Zhu Changluo finally ascended to the throne and became the emperor of the world. In the first ten days of his reign, Zhu Changluo carried out a series of reforms to eliminate maladministration. He sent internal servants to reward the border guards, although he was paid a cup of water, which was also difficult to see in the Wanli Dynasty. He dismissed the mining tax of the Wanli Dynasty, which once made the people miserable and rebellious. He straightened out the chaos, released all the officials who had offended the emperor because of his advice, and restored them to official positions. Faced with a serious shortage of officials in the middle and late wanli period, he revived the discipline, promoted a number of new officials, filled the vacancies, and enabled the state apparatus to operate normally.
Just as the people were looking forward to healing, the emperor suddenly fell ill. Why? When Emperor Taichang was not on the throne, she was a good woman, and after taking the throne, Princess Zheng Guifei did not know what purpose she had to offer beautiful women to the emperor, Emperor Taichang's health was not good, and his age was not spared (about 40 years old), and at the beginning of the reign, he was very busy dealing with government affairs, coupled with the indulgence of returning to the harem, he finally fell. Originally it was not a serious illness, take a few pairs of tonics, meditate for a period of time because it should be able to recover, but the eunuch Cui Wensheng, who was in charge of the imperial pharmacy, gave the emperor a laxative, and Emperor Taichang had diarrhea thirty or forty times that night, and his body collapsed at once, and he could no longer get out of bed, and his condition deteriorated day by day.
At this moment, Li Kezhuo of the Hongxu Temple offered two red pills, and after the Taichang Emperor used the first pill, his condition improved slightly, and after using the second pill, the Taichang Emperor fell asleep and died the next morning. Because the emperor took the red pill to kill, what kind of medicine the red pill is, whether it is poisonous, why Cui Wensheng wanted to enter laxatives into the emperor, these are impossible to figure out, this matter is called the red pill case, this case finally failed, became another major case in the Ming Palace. Emperor Taichang walked away in such an inexplicable way, being careful when he was not emperor, and regretting it for a few days when he became emperor; The fate of the deceased was bumpy, and the tomb after death was also the abandoned tomb of the Jingtai Emperor of that year, and the fate was also so tricky on the emperor.
