Zhu Changluo statue
If Zhu Changluo had not died too early, he would have also been a great Ming Emperor, and after the death of the Wanli Emperor, Emperor Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo vigorously issued several important decrees to change the decline of the Wanli Dynasty.
Historical records record that "Ding You, the crown prince obeyed the edict and issued a million gold to the side." Abolish the world's mining tax, and make suggestions to offend the ministers. Self-hai, and then send a million gold to fill the side reward. ”
At that time, Liaodong was already a serious problem for his confidants, the Salhu army was defeated, and the Ming army was beaten to a pulp, and one of the most important reasons for this was that the military salary was in arrears, and the imperial court had no money and did not want to send money. In the forty-eighth year of the Wanli Calendar, on July 22, Zhu Changluo ordered the allocation of one million yuan of gold to reward the border guards, and on the 24th, Zhu Changluo again allocated a million dollars to the army.
It can be seen from this that Zhu Changluo has already seen the crux of the Liaodong, in addition, Zhu Changluo deposed the mining supervisor tax envoy who had been poisoned for many years in the Wanli Dynasty. To some extent, all kinds of uprisings and rebellions in the Wanli Dynasty are inseparable from the mining supervisor, and Zhu Changluo's move can be described as a great pleasure.
At the same time, Zhu Changluo also ordered that the officials of various departments be replenished, so that the phenomenon of slacking the government of the Wanli Dynasty could be alleviated, and the operational efficiency of government departments was also improved. Looking at these policies alone, it can be inferred that Zhu Changluo definitely has the potential of a Ming Jun, but just as the officials were cheering, just a month later, Zhu Changluo was killed.
Many views believe that Zhu Changluo died in a conspiracy, but there is not much evidence, in the author's view, Zhu Changluo's death is more like a medical accident.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > is there anything to do with Zheng Guifei? </h1>
Zheng Guifei was a typical churning stick of the Wanli Dynasty, but she tossed and turned, and did not get any practical benefits, and in the case of the attack, she almost lost her reputation.
Before Wanli died, he thought of Concubine Zheng guifei and asked Zhu Changluo to "Ermu Emperor Guifei Zheng shi, who has been serving for many years, is industrious and prosperous, and has been crowned empress." Although Zheng Guifei was very unreliable, Wanli was really good to her, and before she died, she wanted to improve the treatment of her wife and wanted to make her empress, but Zhu Changluo did not do so.
When Wan Li was alive, Zheng Guifei had a certain right to speak, but after Zhu Changluo took power, Zheng Guifei's position could no longer be controlled by herself.
According to the Book of Sins, "And ascended to the pole, the noble concubine entered the beautiful concubine to serve the emperor. Ten days later, the emperor fell ill. ”
After Zhu Changluo took the throne, Zheng Guifei offered several beautiful women, Zhu Changluo was indeed more depressed during his time as a prince, at this time the power was in his hands, seeing a few beautiful women, a little indulgence, there are also forgivable.
But to say that Concubine Zheng Guifei used a few beautiful women to harm the emperor, some of them could not be said. Even if Zhu Changluo was killed, his son Zhu Changxun could no longer be emperor, and Zhu Changluo had a son at that time. This incident of sending a beautiful woman is most likely just Zheng Guifei's overtures to the emperor, and after Wanli's death, Zheng Guifei's influence has been very limited.
Of course, perhaps Zhu Changluo's sudden illness has something to do with indulgence, but it is by no means the cause of death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="75" > Cui Wensheng prescribed drugs is also normal</h1>
After Zhu Changluo fell ill, several people successively treated the emperor, including the Tai Hospital, the Imperial Pharmacy, and then the ministers. The doctors of the Tai Hospital are selected after a lot, should be the most authoritative doctors, for Zhu Changluo's disease, the doctors' treatment method is conditioning, although the time is long, but there will be no major problems in the end.
Historical records record that "in the sixth year, the Imperial Pharmacy Was placed in the Inner Province, and an Imperial Doctor was established. The Imperial Medical Bureau, ranked Six Pins, set up Shang Yao and Feng Yu two, Zhi Chang two, medicine boys ten people, all of which are filled with internal officials and internal envoys. ”
In addition to real doctors, there were many eunuchs who treated the emperor, and in order to balance officials, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty liked to use eunuchs, so the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were very famous and powerful.
By the time Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, it had become customary for eunuchs to see the emperor, in other words, it was normal for Zhu Changluo to find the eunuchs in the imperial pharmacy to get medicine, and there was no sense of violation.
Historical records record that "palm making royal liquor." The Imperial Pharmacy, the chief and deputy members of the eunuch, are divided into two shifts. ”
It's just that eunuchs are different from real doctors after all, and perhaps these eunuchs also know some pharmacology, but their technical level is not up to standard, so much so that Cui Wensheng prescribed some laxatives to the emperor.
Later, Yang Lian impeached the eunuch Cui Wensheng, "On the mistake of the internal official Cui Wensheng's medication, it is appropriate to make up for the emperor's disease law", Yang Lian said that Cui Wensheng made a mistake in medication, not that he could not prescribe medicine.
An Shun, the king of the imperial history, said: "The pulse of the first emperor is majestic and floating, these three scorched fires move, the lips are purple and red, the face is full of fire, and the porridge is irritable. "And the medicine prescribed by Cui Wensheng is rhubarb, and its effect is to attack the stagnation, diarrhea and cool blood, and activate blood and dissolve stasis."
From the perspective of the disease, cui Wensheng's laxatives are also basically symptomatic, if Cui Wensheng really wants to harm the emperor, why should he prescribe laxatives instead of poisons?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="76" > Li Ke burned into the drug, it is just a coincidence</h1>
The last thing that zhu Changluo wanted to die was the "immortal elixir" that Li Kezhuo offered. Li Kezhuo was recommended by the first assistant Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe is not a doctor, nor does he know how to treat diseases, why did he recommend Li Kezhuo's dan medicine?
In fact, at that time, Fang Congzhe and Zhu Changluo were both a little ill and rushed to the hospital, Fang Congzhe as the first assistant, the emperor was sick, Fang Congzhe was naturally anxious, it was hard to look forward to leaving the Emperor Wanli, ushered in a good emperor, just as the so-called "Jun worried about the subjects, the jun humiliated the subjects died", the emperor's affairs are the world's affairs, and as a courtier, you must share the worries and difficulties for the emperor.
So, in the panic, Li Kezhao entered everyone's sight. If Fang Congzhe had conspired to kill the emperor, then he would have blown the effect of the medicine to the point of being divine, but in fact, Fang Congzhe told the emperor that "the subjects did not dare to believe it."
Fang Congzhe was skeptical of Li Kezhuo's immortal medicine, and at that time, Zhu Changluo had no other good way, so he became a live horse doctor and immediately ate Li Kezhuo's immortal medicine. Li Kezhuo's medicine was not a good medicine to cure diseases and save people, but a tonic or aphrodisiac, in addition, in order to dispel the doubts of the emperor and his ministers, Li Kezhuo personally ate one.
After eating two immortal pills, Zhu Changluo screamed for his life. The Jiajing Emperor had been eating this tonic for many years, and he had lived for nearly 60 years, so why did Zhu Changluo hang up after eating 2 pills?
We speculate that Zhu Changluo's death was not poisoned by some kind of poison, but was cured and cured, the treatment method of Tai Hospital is biased towards slow conditioning, and Cui Wensheng's prescription is to drain the fire and cool blood, and Li Kezhuo's Dan medicine is "tonic", under three different treatment methods, Zhu Changluo was tossed to death alive.
Of course, we do not rule out that Zhu Changluo himself has other diseases, if the Jiajing Emperor eats these 3 medicines, it may be safe, but Zhu Changluo does not have the healthy body of the Jiajing Emperor, and several medicines will have a chain reaction in his body and directly kill him.
Therefore, Zhu Changluo's death is not a conspiracy, it may also be that Zhu Changluo was too unlucky and encountered a damn medical accident!
