It is said that the most tragic emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Chongzhen, and when Li Zicheng's large knife split the brass lock of the city of Beijing, it announced the official end of the 276-year rule of the Ming Dynasty. The hot-blooded young man who worked hard for 17 years was finally forced to hang himself in coal mountain.
Looking at the fire in the sky, Zhu Youjian may think of Zhu Changluo, the Ming Guang Sect 24 years ago, if he could reign for a longer time, maybe he could continue to live for the Ming Dynasty. This Zhu Changluo, who had only been a month old, was Zhu Youjian's biological father, and his death began with the "Red Pill Case" of the three major cases at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
When it comes to the "Red Pill Case", we have to say Zhu Changluo's background. His father was a famous "saboteur" Wanli. Zhu Changluo, like his biological mother, was only an accidental product of Wanli's "adolescent throbbing". Although he was the eldest son, he had never been happy with Wanli. Compared with her stepmother Zheng Guifei and her half-brother Zhu Changxun, it is a world of difference. The old father did not go to work for nearly 30 years in order to protest with the minister and wanted his younger brother Zhu Changxun to be the crown prince.
After all, the arm could not twist the thigh, how could the emperor alone fight with all the civil and military officials? Do you want to go to Jiangshan? So after 30 years of resistance, he was still reluctant to give Zhu Changluo a prince. However, the empress dowager Zheng Guifei did not agree, and tried her best to fight for wanli's favor, wearing small shoes for Zhu Changluo again and again to retaliate. Zhu Changluo, whose grandmother is not in pain and whose uncle does not love, grew up step by step in such an environment. The contradiction between the two has also gradually escalated over the course of 30 years.
In August 1620, the Wanli Emperor was dying. Before dying, he took Zhu Changluo's sign and said in a heavy voice: Son, I am leaving, the emperor will do it for you." Promise me, your stepmother Zheng Guifei I like very much, after my death you posthumously crown her as empress. Zhu Changluo quickly agreed.
Wan Li knew very well in his heart that only by posthumously appointing Zheng Guifei as empress, so that after Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, Zheng Guifei would be the empress dowager, and zhu Changluo's retaliatory psychology could be dispelled. After all, the empress dowager is not anyone who dares to move. But contrary to his wishes, after Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he did not posthumously honor Concubine Zheng as empress, but only promoted the concubine! Zheng Guifei couldn't sit still, she already looked unpleasant, and now she still reneged on her word, so she started her own "dragon slaying action".
It is said that "the color of food is also the common sentiment of people", and the emperor is also a person. Concubine Zheng Guifei looked at Zhu Changluo, and she would send whatever Emperor Xi liked, but if she looked closer, she would find that Zhu Changluo's body was not as good as a day, and he was accustomed to being suppressed by Wanli and began to release himself.
At night, even a few people were lucky, and the Saint Jongton decreased. - History of the Ming Dynasty
The meaning is obvious, there are too many shameful things to do, the spirit can't keep up, and the body seems to be hollowed out. It was too damaged, in order to let Zhu Changluo die early, Wan Guifei actually used this trick! As the days passed, Zhu Changluo became bedridden less than 10 days after he ascended the throne. Judging from the condition diagnosed by the Tai Doctor, it is to indulge in excessive physical emptiness.
From here, Zheng Guifei's plan was half successful.
The doctors learned that Zhu Changluo was bedridden and unaffordable, and he was in a hurry. After many consultations, it was unanimously agreed that the emperor needed to be carefully cultivated and solidified. This allows the body to recover slowly. But the emperor did not think so, "I have been suppressed for decades, it is difficult to become an emperor, but also to be careful?" does not exist". Zhu Changluo was busy recovering his body, and after taking the medicine several times, he found that it had no effect, and he was furious, so he found Cui Wensheng, the steward eunuch of the Imperial Pharmacy.
This Cui Wensheng was a close confidant of Zheng Guifei, and the clear-eyed people knew what he had come to diagnose and treat Zhu Changluo. At Zhu Changluo's several requests, Cui Wensheng prescribed a dose of medicine to Zhu Changluo. What is this medicine? We can see from the results that Zhu Changluo pulled more than 40 times in the night after eating. Well, it's laxatives. As a result, Zhu Changluo directly pulled unconscious. Probably know that he will soon die and convene a national assembly. Shoufu Fang Congzhe and the others cried at the bedside.
At the time of his death, Zhu Changluo's desire to survive was still very strong. Thinking of Li Kezhuo, this brother Immortal Wind Dao Bone, a look of a worldly high person, should not be a bad element. Maybe his elixir can really save his life (sure enough, it is not that the family does not enter the door, and great-grandfather Jiajing likes to take dan medicine). Li Kezhao immediately sent an elixir to Zhu Changluo. Soon after, Zhu Changluo was instantly radiant, as if he had endless strength. After opening his eyes, he gave Li Ke a sharp praise.
So effective, why not get it sooner! From now on, you will be responsible for giving me alchemy!
The first assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, always believed that this Li Kezhuo had a side door and left way and should not be trusted. But Zhu Changluo didn't think so, "I was going to die, but I ended up eating his elixir!" Black cat white cat, can catch mice is a good cat! ”
So under the stern urging, the next day Li Kezhuo once again offered medicine to Zhu Changluo. This time, Zhu Changluo was refreshed after taking it, and he had the effect of eating "powerful pills". What was surprising was that on the fifth day of the night, Zhu Changluo suddenly died.
The initiator of the "Red Pill Case" was the elixir. According to historical records, this elixir contains a large number of heavy metals, in other words, Zhu Changluo's body has long been in a weak state after the night emperor has been several people. He was supposed to recuperate well, but he was in a hurry and took Cui Wensheng's laxatives. We all know that if a person is too weak, he cannot be allowed to take laxatives, because too many times of diarrhea will hurt people's vitality. Finally, eating heavy metals is even more poisonous.
Therefore, the famous "Red Pill Case" at the end of the Ming Dynasty doomed Zhu Changluo's tragic life from the very beginning. Offending Zheng Guifei, self-misconduct, choosing endless indulgence after breaking free of the shackles, and taking drugs indiscriminately are the main reasons for the case.
