Chapter 96 9. The emperor is a fool

empire.His many contradictory behaviors were incomprehensible, but no one cared to understand him at that time. Power was still at work, and the social game forces fighting for power have become more and more intense since then. In the struggle for power, the strange case of the demon book broke out first. This strange case of demon book is divided into front half and back half. The former demon book case was created by Concubine Zheng Gui. This little girl was thinking every day about letting her son succeed her, when she suddenly discovered that Lu Kun, the inspector of Shanxi Province, had written a "Girlfriend Illustrated Story" with rich pictures and texts, which was translated into modern languages, that is, "March 8 Red Banner Bearer Advanced Deeds Selection"...and so on.At that time, when Concubine Zheng read this book, her heart was moved immediately, and she said to herself: "I, Concubine Zheng, am the female model worker of the Ming Empire, the March 8 red flag bearer, and the head of the top ten outstanding young women. I will take care of the emperor's food and clothing. I have to sleep with the emperor in my arms, among all the women in the world, who has contributed more than me? But why did I miss out on this?"

Concubine Zheng was very depressed, so she paid out of her own pocket to reprint the book, and added all her touching deeds to the book.As a result, as soon as the book was published, there was an uproar among the officials in the court. Some people claimed that the book was a poisonous weed, and some even accused Concubine Zheng of wanting to start a court war and blatantly seize the dysprosium.Some people fanned the wind, lit will-o'-the-wisps, and pretended to criticize the original author Lu Kun, but armed with guns and sticks, they viciously attacked Zheng Guifei, Zhu Yijun's closest comrade-in-arms.This matter made Zhu Yijun very depressed, and he sent an order to tell everyone to shut up, and the former demon book case was considered to be completely closed.

Soon, the case of Hou Yaoshu broke out in time.In the winter of the 31st year of Wanli, on that morning, all the officials got up and went out, preparing to go to court, when they suddenly found a book in front of the door. The name of the book was super strange, what was it called? Come, only to find that this thing can't be called a book at all, it only has 300 words from beginning to end, at best it is just a promotional pamphlet. The style and style of the pamphlet was completed by two people answering each other. As a last resort, within three days and five months at the most, the crown prince will be reelected." Asked: "Why do you see that?" The answer: "You are stupid, you can't see that the emperor recently reused a cabinet minister with a name. Is it called Zhu Geng? Think about it, what does Geng mean? Geng means to change the crown prince." Asked: "Who is the emperor planning to change as the crown prince?" The answer: "You You are short-sighted, look at who is the emperor's favorite woman? Concubine Zheng. Which is the emperor's favorite son? Concubine Zheng gave birth to King Fu—" Concubine Zheng gave birth to a son called King Fu, or Zheng Fucheng for short. And the last name, which seems unremarkable, is the author of the brochure.

Who is Zheng Fucheng? When the ministers saw this book, one of them was terrified, flabbergasted and looked west, but seeing that no one was paying attention, they quickly grabbed the brochure, rushed to the garbage dump, and threw it into the garbage.Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, I haven't seen any reactionary propaganda brochures at all, so this matter has nothing to do with me, it's up to the court." Most of the courtiers hid the books, but one official dared not hide them. why? Because this official is Zhu Geng in the cabinet.In that reactionary brochure, his name was impressively written, and it was useless even if you threw it away. Once someone sued him before the emperor, the emperor looked at it, um, how could Zhu Geng’s name be on the book?Obviously, even if you didn't do this, the person who did it must have had an affair with you - why didn't he write someone else's name if he didn't have an affair?

At that time, Zhu Geng held this reactionary propaganda brochure and cried like a man in tears, cursing at the same time: "Your mother's behind-the-scenes person, did I provoke you? Or did I jump into the well with your child? You wrote Lao Tzu into the book for no reason, isn't it killing Lao Tzu?" What should I do? Can't do it, really can't do it.The only solution Zhu Geng could think of was to cry and kneel outside the palace gate—surrender himself, hand in the book, explain in detail the circumstances of the discovery of the book, submit his resignation letter, and express his readiness to cooperate at any time. Jin Yiwei's investigative work.

Jin Yiwei was dispatched and began to investigate. What kind of survey method? Simple, it is to see who is not pleasing to the eye, arrest them first, handcuff the tiger stool with a whip and iron, and pour chili water on the outside, and everyone will be caught.Since it is necessary to arrest randomly, instead of arresting people who have nothing to do with oneself, it is better to arrest one's enemies and people who are not pleasing to one's eyes. The governor of Jinyiwei, Wang Zhizhen, has always had a bad relationship with Zhou Jiaqing, who is also Jinyiwei.So Wang Zhizhen took the first step and accused Zhou Jiaqing first.So Zhou Jiaqing was arrested and tortured.During the interrogation, Zhou Jiaqing's father-in-law, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, equivalent to Li Dai, the head of the Organization Department, was asked to participate in the trial.Sitting on the trial platform, Dai Li saw his son-in-law stripped naked and hundreds of instruments of torture were used on him. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Jiaqing became a bloody man.Dai Li couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and withdrew from the table.

The interrogator Wang Zhizhen was very angry when he saw that Li Dai was gone, so he went to Zhu Yijun and sued, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with Li Dai, the head of the organization. He killed his son-in-law, why would he be dissatisfied? He even watched it unhappy, but left the meeting angrily. If this unhealthy trend continues, it will be difficult for us Jinyiwei to carry out our work in the future." "Is there such a thing?" Zhu Yijun remonstrated quickly: "You are right, so let's remove Li Dai's head of organization first, and then slowly investigate his criminal responsibility."

And the cabinet Shen Li has always been at odds with his colleague Shen Li, so he took the opportunity to frame and say that the book was written by Shen Li.Jin Yiwei didn't ask whether it was good or bad, and if someone accused him, he would arrest him and torture him.The incident became more and more troublesome, to the point where everyone was in danger, and at the end of the trouble, people had long forgotten about the demon book, and they were just worried about being caught by Jin Yiwei for no apparent reason and skinned. Things have come to such a point that Zhu Yijun, the leader of the empire, has no choice but to say something.

What did he say? You can't even imagine how smart this guy is— At the beginning of the demon book, the temple summoned the crown prince to the temple, and said loudly: "Brother, don't be afraid, don't do your business, close the door earlier, and open the door sooner!" Tian Yi, the eunuch of ceremonies, was also sent to the cabinet to pass the oracle to the cabinet and said: "Today, when I return to the palace of the Holy Mother, I will announce that the crown prince will come to Qixiang Palace to give a consolation speech. You also know my lessons of love. Your pure and filial friend, I also know all about it. Recently, some villains fabricated treacherous books to separate my father and son and shake up the world. There is a strict order to arrest the righteous law. I think you must have a heart of fear. I will comfort and teach you with the cabinet ministers. I announce you today, I have given you face. And many words, burning with wrath, cannot be exhausted..."

—— "First pull out the ambition" This authentic historical material shocked us.There are at least three reasons for the shock. The first one, Zhu Yijun is definitely a man of temperament, listen to him: "... close the door earlier, open the door later..." This kind of earnest teaching, unless it has a clear understanding of the world's people, it will not be issued as the highest instruction. Second, Zhu Yijun is definitely a man of great wisdom, even though his life instinct must be to destroy the empire.But his rational consciousness was far higher than that of too many people at that time.He knew best why the Yaoshu case came, so he appeased the prince first, so as not to let others make irresponsible remarks.

The third one, Zhu Yijun is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely... a person exactly like our description, even his speaking style is completely different from our imagination of the pile of ancient books, and he wants to live next door to our silly uncle, When it comes to your own affairs, you are shrewd; when it comes to other people's affairs, you are utterly confused.There is really nothing you can do about him. The supreme leader of the empire has been alarmed, and it is time for a conclusion to the Empress Demon Book case. (10) Demons enter Kyoto on a large scale It is said that in the Shenzong Dynasty, there was a minister named Guo Zhengyu, who was very knowledgeable, and was once invited into the palace to give lectures to the crown prince Zhu Changluo.When Guo Zhengyu entered the palace, he found that the prince Zhu Changluo was curled up in a ball, trembling. After Guo Zhengyu inquired, he found out that the eunuchs had embezzled all the heating expenses in the palace, so he canceled the crown prince's privilege of heating in winter. At that time, Guo Zhengyu was furious and stood in the palace, pointing his halberd at the eunuch's nose and yelling: "I lost your mother, why don't you quickly bring the brazier for the prince? Do you dare to be disrespectful? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death right now?" Guo Zhengyu's ferocious appearance frightened the young eunuchs in the palace, and hurriedly brought his own brazier over. The prince moved closer to the brazier, and immediately burst into tears.This pot of fire ignited his hope in life, and now he knows that in this world, there are too many people who care about him and love him... While being moved, Prince Zhu Changluo suddenly heard bad news.The cabinet Shen has always framed that the demon book was written by Guo Zhengyu. At this time, Lao Guo has been dragged away by Jin Yiwei and is being tortured.The prince became anxious as soon as he heard it, and immediately sent people around him to rescue Guo Zhengyu, risking his father Zhu Yijun's anger and the prince's life.For those who started to go, Jin Yiwei still didn't buy it, and had to follow the procedure and resort to means.Zhu Changluo gritted his teeth: "If you lose your mother, I will go all out and send several servants in succession to ask Jin Yiwei to release Lao Guo immediately and unconditionally. Seeing that the prince is serious, Jin Yiwei didn't dare to go too far, so he sent Lao Guo Guo let it out." Lao Guo let it go, so whose head will this matter fall on? Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up, and they found a hapless guy. This unlucky guy, named Lu Shengguang, is a student, roughly equivalent to the rank of deputy chief staff member.This guy has very bad morals, and he often intercepts small businessmen and peddlers on the street, blackmailing and extorting: "Stop, hand over the lollipop in your hand, if you don't hand it over, I will spank your ass..." He was bullying a child, and unfortunately encountered a part-time job Jin Yiwei of the urban management took this person into prison.At this moment, all the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it should be appropriate for this case to be held on the old man's head.Even the lollipop in the child's hand is not spared. This kind of person must be able to do the strange thing of writing a demon book! It is possible to buckle, but the evidence is not enough at present.So the ministers came up with suggestions and pondered more reliable evidence, and finally the censor Yu Maoheng found the evidence. What evidence? Let’s say that Yu Maoheng went to the court one day and gave evidence: “I found evidence that this was done by Kan Shengguang. The evidence is that I had a dream yesterday in which Master Guanyin said to me, ‘Old Yu, guess what? Don’t know who wrote the demon book? Come, come, let me tell you, the author of this demon book is even Kan Shengguang...'" Strangely, Jin Yiwei took Yu Maoheng's testimony and went to the palace to report to Zhu Yijun.At that time, Zhu Yijun was eating, and there was a "poof" when he heard it, spraying rice particles all over the room. Jin Yiwei asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, look at this evidence...do you want to add something?" Zhu Yijun sneered and said, "What the fuck, isn't such solid evidence enough?" The chief guard of Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to ask Kan Shengguang to sign the death penalty.Kan Shengguang sighed and said: "You bastards, you just want to wrong Lao Tzu, so you can close the case quickly, let's settle it..." Then he signed and pledged, dragged him to the street market, and let the executioner slowly cut him up piecemeal. Ordinarily, this matter should be over, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, and the bright light here has been torn. However, Zhao Shixu, the scholar in the Wenhua Palace, was about to go to bed after get off work when he suddenly heard someone outside the door. Knock on the door, walk over and scratch the crack of the door, look outside, and see Kan Shengguang blocking the door.At that time, Zhao Shixu was very puzzled, so he asked, "Aren't you already dead?" He heard Li Shengguang reply, "It's true that I died, but I died unjustly. Obviously you did it, but you put it on the ground." I will cut you into pieces, Zhao, you say it yourself, is this appropriate?" Zhao Shixu replied: "What is appropriate? What is inappropriate? Even if the court wronged the child, it still belongs to the mother beating the child. What's the big deal if the beating is wrong? The son does not think the mother is ugly. First of all, I want to thank the country. Hitting you for nothing, killing you for nothing... You go back quickly, don't block the door with blood, if this is seen by others, how bad will it affect you?" Kan Shengguang from the outside burst into tears when he heard it, and said, "Zhao, are you a little bit of a conscience? You wrote a demon book, but it fell on me, and you said that the mother beat the child, beat the child!" I’ll tell you, let’s not say that this imperial court is not a mother at all, even if it is, you have to bear criminal responsibility for beating a child, do you understand?” Zhao Shixu: "I won't argue with you, a dead man, if you have the ability, you can come back to life..." However, he said that Zhao Shixu had worn out his lips and used both soft and hard methods to work on the ghost who was looking at the light, but the stubborn ghost just blocked the door of his house and refused to leave. More and more, Zhao Shixu became angry: "Okay, Lu Shengguang, aren't you desperate to leave? If you don't leave, I will..." After saying this, he died.It was reported that he went to see Lu Shengguang to reason with him. Apparently, the lingering Lu Shengguang strongly stimulated the nerves of the courtiers. Sure enough, a Jinyiwei Baihu Wang Yuegan got nervous, and he rushed out to expose Zheng Guifei, saying: "Zheng Guifei found the demon Wang San In addition, according to Wang Yueqian, Concubine Zheng also plans to find an assassin to kill Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun." According to historical records, Wang Yueqian described in detail the black magic of the monster Wang Sanzhao in his denunciation letter.It is said that Wang Sanzhao has a black porcelain soul-absorbing bottle, which is completely black. As long as Wang Sanzhao cuts two paper figurines, spreads his hair and wields his sword, and climbs up to the altar to do the trick, the two paper figurines will jump with a "whoosh" sound. Get up, ride the clouds and fog, guide precisely, kill and rush to the target, and start the beheading operation.Its success rate is 100%, and it has never failed... Seeing this denunciation letter, poor Zhu Yijun uttered the desperate struggle and howling of a wolf before dying—help, these guys made it clear that they didn’t want to let Lao Tzu worry, they had to let Lao Tzu’s family beat you to death, so that they could enjoy themselves ? Transfer the exposure letter to the cabinet for processing. Because Zhu Yijun went on strike for 26 years, some cabinet members died of old age, some were captured and beaten to death by Jin Yiwei, and some were being dragged away by Jin Yiwei.There is only one old man Ye Xianggao left in Nuo Da's cabinet.Zhu Yijun demanded that old man Ye must quickly come up with a solution to the problem. A day later, Zhu Yijun sent his servant to the cabinet to ask old man Ye about the situation.Seeing the old man Ye looking at the person with a naive look, he said, "What kind of thing? A letter? Never heard of... What kind of thing? Wang Yueqian? What is Wang Yuegan? I haven't heard of it... what?" Something? Demon Wang Sanzhao? What is Wang Sanzhao? I’ve never heard of it..." It’s actually a question that doesn’t know anything. The servant was so angry that he ran back to report.Hearing this, Zhu Yijun was stunned for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "Damn it, I always thought I was the most intelligent person in the world, but it turns out that Ye Xianggao, an old man, is really wise. No wonder he After staying in the cabinet for so long, Jin Yiwei can't find a reason to kill him... Gao, old man Ye's move is too high. If this letter of exposure is pursued, it will not only make me and Concubine Zheng fall in love, but also my son Zhu Changluo The relationship will also become stiff, and it might be a life-and-death relationship. Now that old man Ye is playing around like this, it will be nothing like this. From now on, my father-son relationship, and Zheng Guifei's relationship will be comprehensive... Gao, Gao , this trick is really fucking good, I have to learn more..." According to historical records, the old man Ye Xianggao suppressed this incident with his supreme wisdom, avoiding the escalation of family conflicts and power struggles in Zhu Yijun's family.Not only the people at that time, but even the people of later generations admired Old Man Ye. Zhu Yijun is indeed smart, he quickly learned Ye Xianggao's technique and applied it in practice. (11) The bell in the palace rings and the assassin comes It was a mysterious figure named Zhang Cha who ended Zhu Yijun's 26-year strike. Who is Zhang Cha? This is a burly man with thick arms and strong chest, hey, hey, he has eight big muscles.The day when he suddenly appeared in history was in May of the 43rd year of Wanli. The first eunuch who found him was the little eunuch who guarded the crown prince in the East Palace. He was about to ask who this burly man was looking for, but only heard "bang" With a loud noise, the little eunuch had been knocked down by the wooden stick and lay down sprawled on his back. "Rush, kill, for the sake of the motherland, for the people..." roaring, the big man rushed into the womb of the crown prince, pointing east and west, turning south and north, startling the palace guards who threw away their knives and guns, and ran away in a hurry.The burly man let out a triumphant cheer, followed after him, and broke into a large group of eunuchs with a "chuck" inadvertently. The big man was surrounded by eunuchs who were clinging to each other. Hugging tightly, he took the wooden stick from his hand. There are different teachings, and he was arrested before he left the teacher, which made the lunatic burst into tears.The outlaws openly attacked the residence of the crown prince. This was the only vicious case in history. Liu Tingyuan, the censor of the imperial city, rushed to the court for trial. During this trial, Liu Tingyuan cried. Liu Tingyuan said: "This gangster, he is a lunatic, but he is not a fool." What do you mean? Often, people confuse a madman with a fool, since both are disabled people who have a mental block.But in fact, there is a strict difference between a madman and a fool. What's the difference? The difference is... Anyway... But... But... Otherwise... His grandma's... If this difference can be explained so easily, why is Liu Tingyuan crying in anxiety? So Liu Tingyuan went up and said: "Your Majesty, this gangster named Zhang Cha is a lunatic, but he is not a fool..." As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers were in an uproar, thinking that Liu Tingyuan was talking nonsense, what does it mean to be a lunatic and not a fool ?If you are crazy, can you not be stupid?If you are stupid, can you not be crazy? I can't tell. But there is a small person who insists on letting the gangster Zhang Cha explain the matter clearly. The name of this little guy is Wang Zhicai, and his position is extremely low, but he is just a small prison guard in the Daming Empire Prison.But this little prison guard couldn't bear the sight of someone bullying the prince, and he dared to enter the prince's east palace. It was obvious that there was a big shot behind this incident.So Wang Zhicai first locked the gangster Zhang Cha in a special room, next to the room was the most delicious food, Wang Zhicai and his friends sat at the table, eating and drinking happily, but did not give Zhang Cha After a few days of being so hungry, Zhang Chai finally went crazy again—he was already a lunatic, and now he was crazy again, and the craziness became more crazy, and the negative and negative became positive, so his sanity became clear. Crazy and crazy, leading to the sane assassin, wrote a confession: Uncle Ma and Grandfather Li asked me to follow my husband whose name I do not know.Said: "It's enough for you to plant a few acres of land." After that, the old man rode a horse to the big house in the unknown street, and the old man ate with me, and said, "Don't starve him, he will sleep a lot." Said: "You hit once first, hit two, kill one, and I have the strength to save you." The old man and I led me from the Houzai gate to the palace gate, and the gatekeeper beat me. I slapped and was knocked down with a stick.There were too many husbands in it, so they were caught. Oh, I see, it turned out that there were eunuchs in the palace who brought the assassin in, intending to murder the prince. Who is this eunuch? Check it out again, it's amazing.This eunuch is unexpectedly Pang Bao who is beside Concubine Zheng.This time things got serious, and the officials were furious. They marched and demonstrated outside the gate of the palace, shouting: "Down with Concubine Zheng! Find out who is behind the scenes! Long live the crown prince Zhu Changluo!" The blood debt must be paid with blood!Keep in mind class suffering, and never forget blood and tears!Never forget about power struggles! ... When things got serious, Concubine Zheng was so frightened that she hugged Zhu Yijun and burst into tears: "Husband, why are you so useless, can't you hear the people outside shouting reactionary slogans? Quickly let Jin Yiwei arrest them all..." Zhu Yijun smiled wryly: "Stupid old ladies, you are so confused. Haven't you heard that public anger is hard to commit? Who are you shouting reactionary slogans outside? It's those Jinyiwei! So the Jinyiwei at this time , will never obey orders again, instead, they will force me to hand you over, drag you to the torture platform, strip you of your clothes first, and then slowly pour boiling water on you, it won’t kill you, you come Find me……" Concubine Zheng was stunned: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I swear to God that the assassin was not sent by me, please save my life, I swear!" Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly: "Silly old lady, is it really useless to beg me at this time?" Concubine Zheng cried: "You are the emperor, even if you can't save me, who else can I turn to?" Zhu Yijun leaned closer to her ear, "In the whole world, there is only one person who can save you, and he is..." (12) Stability overwhelms everything Hearing the call from the emperor and his own father, the prince Zhu Changluo rushed over like flying.As soon as he entered the door, he heard a "plop", and Concubine Zheng had already knelt down in front of him, grabbed Zhu Changluo's legs with both hands, and put her head between Zhu Changluo's legs: "Prince baby, prince baby, You know that assassin wasn't sent by me, don't you? Please, baby prince, for your brother Fuwa's sake, please help me." At that time, Zhu Changluo reacted quickly, knelt down with a "plop", and cried: "Son, how dare you offend heaven and earth... Auntie, you have something to say..." How could Concubine Zheng be willing to get up without the crown prince's promise?Just looking at the prince and kowtowing: "Prince baby, don't listen to those instigations outside with ulterior motives, don't, you know I was wronged..." The father just sat and watched with a smile, how could Zhu Changluo have the guts to ask Concubine Zheng to kowtow to him?But Concubine Zheng has already kowtowed her head, and she kowtowed many people, what should I do?The only solution right now is to knock your head back again.So the crown prince also hurriedly kowtowed to Concubine Zheng. The two kowtowed at each other, and the distance was too close. They only heard bang bang bang, head to head, making them dizzy, but no one dared to stop first, and could only hold back tears Gritting his teeth, he kowtowed his head persistently. Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun, seeing this touching scene, couldn't help but shed tears of excitement, and said: "What a harmonious big family, why do people always want to instigate the harmonious relationship of our family? I have already said that That's right, be stable, be stable, stability is the most important thing...Son, you get up first." Zhu Changluo cried: "Father, my son dare not." Zhu Yijun said: "Why don't you dare? Remember? You grew up from the size of a finger to the man you are now. If your father or your aunt Zheng treats you badly, you can live until the end of your life." Is it today? Do you think what Dad said is right?" Zhu Changluo said: "Everything Daddy said is the truth." Zhu Yijun said: "Okay, you go now and call your three sons." In an instant, Zhu Changluo's soul flew away, what do you mean?Could it be that the old man wants to kill the weeds?Kill the son and grandchildren together?I was scared in my heart, but I didn't dare to hesitate at all, so I went out immediately and brought the three children over.Seeing the three grandsons, Emperor Shenzong was overjoyed: "Grandchildren, go to court with your grandpa... what? I don't know what is called court? Do you think you are the only grandsons who don't know? I still don't know about your grandpa. Grandpa has already I have refused to go to court for twenty-six years, but today, your grandpa and I are willing to cut into pieces, dare to mount a horse with our children and grandchildren, and leave..." Thus, for the first time in history, Emperor Shenzong led the crown prince Zhu Changluo, three grandsons, and a group of people out of the palace in a mighty way.As soon as I went out, I saw a dark parade of courtiers. Some of the courtiers were distributing reactionary leaflets, some were giving impassioned speeches, and some were taking the opportunity to sell drinks and fruits. I don’t care if the world is falling, I will do a small business first.In addition, the slogan of the scene resounded across the sky: "Down with the evil Concubine Zheng! Swear to protect the crown prince Zhu Changluo! Whoever opposes the court will be defeated..." There is also a literary and art propaganda team over there, holding bamboo boards, mobilizing the masses: " Dang bang, dang bang, talk about the imperial concubine Zheng Niangniang. Zheng Niangniang, too rampant, entered the court hall with a murder weapon, beat the eunuchs all over the ground, frightened the prince to call mother..." and so on, in short Crowded. In the corner, there are many Jinyiwei scattered in groups of three and five, weakly doing everyone's work: "Please disband immediately, disband immediately, and don't be used by a group of bad people. Be stable, stable, and leaders at all levels are asked to go back and do a good job of maintaining stability..." "Have you seen it?" Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun quietly said to Concubine Zheng Gui: "This is a blatant riot against the imperial court. The most important task right now is to restore the stability of the situation. First promise not to settle accounts after autumn, and then wait until autumn to settle accounts." Ledger... Son, what are you still doing? Why don't you solve the problem quickly?" "Yes, dear father." The crown prince Zhu Changluo stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, I am the crown prince Zhu Changluo, now please obey my order, disband immediately, disband immediately..." Hearing a "wow", all the ministers rushed over and asked in one go: "Prince, prince, are you okay? Didn't you say that you were beaten half to death by the assassin? Who made this rumor? Prince, this thing was done by the anti-imperial group headed by Concubine Zheng, we must find out all of them, criticize them badly, and step on ten thousand feet..." Zhu Changluo said: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense. Our family has a loving father, a filial son, and Zheng's stepmother...that is an absolutely standard and authentic stepmother...I mean, the assassination of the guest's east palace has been found out so far. It's an isolated case that has nothing to do with Stepmother Zheng, so hurry up and disperse..." Of course the ministers refused to disperse, someone shouted: "Prince, you are too careless? Are you still speaking for them at this time? Aren't you afraid that the Fuwa born by Concubine Zheng will usurp your position?" Before Zhu Changluo could speak, the emperor Zhu Yijun rushed up furiously: "Put your mother's stinky fart on, he Fuwa... I mean, King Fu is far away in his own kingdom, thousands of miles away from the capital, how can he come back to usurp the throne? Can't you fly back?" At this time, a super big bug in history appeared. Because Shenzong Zhu Yijun went on strike for 26 years and did not go to court, the officials never saw him at all.Seeing him talking aggressively at this time, Liu Guangfu, the censor, rushed up: "Shut up, the smallest official here is also at the deputy ministerial level, what are you talking about, you people who don't know the truth? If you dare to talk too much, I will kill you... ..." There were so many people, and the noise was too loud, Zhu Yijun couldn't understand what Yu Shi Liu Guangfu said, so he shook the dragon robe on his body: "You are blind, can't you recognize that Lao Tzu is the emperor?" As soon as this remark came out, Liu Guangfu was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty's family is kind and filial, you are really a role model in the world." Zhu Yijun still couldn't understand what Liu Guangfu said, so he asked a Jinyi guard beside him: "Hey, What did that guy say?" Jin Yiwei didn't hear clearly, so he guessed: "Your Majesty, look at his lips, he is clearly saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Zhu Yijun became angry when he heard it: "I finally went to the court last time, why did I get scolded when I came out? Jin Yiwei, you get that guy out for me, and beat him hard." Jin Yiwei rushed into the world, forcibly dragged Liu Guangfu out, took off his trousers in front of everyone, pushed him to the ground, and beat him with a board.The beating made Liu Guangfu giggle and laugh. When so many people pointed at the emperor and scolded him, it was just a slap in the face.Anyway, this sage... is really a fucking sage. This large-scale mass incident finally ended with Liu Guangfu's butt being beaten to pieces, and declared a victory. (13) The Battle of Seizing the Palace According to the analysis of historians, the occurrence of the shooting case made the prince Zhu Changluo a lot of money and became the only and the biggest beneficiary of this incident. Before this incident happened, although Zhu Changluo was the prince, he was more like a fish grilled on a charcoal basin. The intimate relationship between his father Zhu Yijun and Concubine Zheng was like a mountain floating above his head all the time.Maybe one day there will be a "boom" and it will fall down - if the abolition of his position as prince is just a matter of Zhu Yijun's words, even if the officials are dissatisfied, it will not solve the problem after all. However, the outbreak of the assault case suddenly highlighted Zhu Changluo.He took the stage with his father and three sons at the same time, showing the courtiers the happy and united family of the Zhu family.This means that his status has been confirmed by his father, and it has been deeply shaken into the hearts of his subjects.At least half of the courtiers in the court have turned their allegiance to him.This means that his legal system as the heir to the royal family has been clarified. If his father, Zhu Yijun, thinks again and wants to revoke his position as prince... unless Zhu Yijun thinks that the emperor is tired of being an emperor and doesn't want to mess around anymore. In short, Zhu Changluo won. Win is win, but there is a suspense that suddenly entered the hearts of the officials at this moment. Who sent the assassin who rushed into the East Palace with a jujube stick? Could it be...Zhu Changluo himself? You guessed right, it was this fellow! So is there any evidence for this guess? Evidence... On this matter, let's put it this way, historians have not found the private diary of Crown Prince Zhu Changluo.According to the above, today, I am so happy, I ordered the lunatic Zhang Cha... No one can find this diary, but what happened after that is endlessly paradoxical. First of all, the prison guard Wang Zhicai, who was very bored at the beginning, insisted on investigating the case. At that time, Wang Zhicai was in charge of guarding the lunatic assassin Zhang Chai. Therefore, Wang Zhicai adopted the starvation tactic and did not feed Zhang Chai for many days, and finally forced a confession.We don't quite know the deep-seated psychological motivation behind Wang Zhicai's actions. Maybe it's because he really has nothing to do?In any case, he intervened in this matter, and he paid a heavy price. Wang Zhicai was taken into custody on charges of fabricating false statements and extorting 20,000 taels of silver from honest officials.Then hundreds of torture instruments were used on him to test his body's ability to resist abuse. Wang Zhicai gritted his teeth for a long time.However, his stamina has its limit, but the instruments of torture waiting in line behind him are infinite, just torturing him day by day.Finally one day, Wang Zhicai yelled that he had been tortured to pieces and could no longer be put together into a complete person. Afterwards, things became even more weird. Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun retreated back to the deep palace, hid in a room with Concubine Zheng, and did not show his face again.Headed by Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the ministers of the imperial court dispatched tongue-grabbing reconnaissance troops to ambush outside the imperial wall. When they saw an imperial doctor passing by, they jumped up and caught him. "Be honest, is the emperor about to die of illness? Quickly answer that the emperor is about to die, and if you don't say it, you will die..." Soon the inside story was dug out from the mouth of the imperial physician, Emperor Shenzong was really critically ill. So Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou hurried to the gate of the East Palace and greeted Prince Zhu Changluo's classmate, East Palace Companion Wang An: "Wang An, tell His Highness the Crown Prince not to stay in the palace foolishly. Hurry up to the old man's room, hurry up, don't delay." Wang An asked: "This matter..." The emperor didn't tell the prince to go there. If he insisted on going over, would he need a reason? Zuo Guangdou said: "Isn't the reason ready-made? Just say that the crown prince wants to give medicine to the emperor..." When Wang An came back and said, Zhu Changluo was extremely anxious.Go ahead, in case Zhu Yijun's body is fine at all, and he just broke in so suddenly, wouldn't it be obvious that he hoped that the old man would die soon?But if you don't go, if the old man really kicks his legs and dies suddenly, when the time comes, Concubine Zheng will take out Zhang Yizhao and insist that her family's Fuwa will be enthroned, how can this be good? After thinking for a long time, Zhu Changluo gritted his teeth and stared: "I'm going to fight, the big deal is that I can't do it..." U-turned angrily, and went straight into Zhu Yijun's room. He came at the right time. At this time, Zhu Yijun was already dead. Although he hadn't breathed his last breath, he really couldn't be regarded as a living person. Hahaha!The crown prince Zhu Changluo looked up to the sky and smiled: "Finally it's my turn to play, hahaha..." From this day on, Zhu Changluo finally tasted the delicacy of power. For this day, he waited for thirty-nine years and finally got his wish. He issued three edicts in one breath: The first step is to open the gold and silver treasury that his father Zhu Yijun secretly hid, and repay the wages owed to the border officers and soldiers for many years. The first payment will be one million taels of silver. The second way is to stop the mining tax in the world, cancel all the toll stations installed by Shenzong Zhu Yijun at all traffic intersections in the country, and all the toll collectors from all over the country return to the palace, and continue to carry night pots as eunuchs. The third way is to release all the courtiers in custody and open the door of admonition. Everyone is invited to offer advice and suggestions to see if there is any good way to make the country prosperous and strong. With the announcement of these three orders, people all over the world cheered and thundered.Everyone regards the new emperor Zhu Changluo as their hope for the future.这个倒霉透顶的大明帝国，自打朱元璋开头，始终没有摊上过一个像样的皇帝。现在朱常洛来了，头三脚，就是朝臣与民众期待日久的良策，这如何不让人心花怒放？心花怒放过后，大家就听到了一个可怕的消息：朱常洛病倒了。 不会吧？他正值壮年，刚刚当了皇帝，怎么就会病倒呢？ 疑惑之中，人们又听到了一个绝望的坏消息。 朱常洛死了！ 不会吧……然而这却是真的。 千真万确，天亡大明！ （14）摆个明君大POSE 朱常洛到底是怎么一回事？苦熬了三十九年，才迎来了他生命的春天，可他说病就病，说死就死，如此迅捷雷霆，让人连惊讶都来不及，他到底在搞什么鬼？事实上，朱常洛的一生都笼罩在神秘的云雾之中，在他身上发生了太多太多说不清楚的事情。 朱常洛历史档案 last name: male 姓名：朱常洛 出生：1582年9月11日 Birthplace: Beijing Chinese zodiac: horse Constellation: Virgo Blood Type: Type A 身高：178公分 体重：65公斤 相貌特征：坚毅、淡定，但瞳仁混浊。 职业：出任大明帝国第十五任皇帝。 特长：忍耐 social relationship 父亲：神宗朱翊钧 Mother: Wang Wife: Guo Shi 儿子：7人 Mental journey 0岁前10个月：进入生长阶段。 0岁前6个月：父亲朱翊钧拒绝承认他是自己的孩子，母亲的情绪激烈起伏，波动不止，影响到了胎儿的成长。 0岁：悲愤出生，从此开始等待。 5岁：郑贵妃生下二弟福娃，并立即被封为贵妃，而朱常洛的生母却没有任何封号，地位低下。此事引发了朝臣之大哗，群臣大闹朝廷，史称争国本。 9岁：朝臣汹汹，要求立朱常洛为太子，遭朱翊钧驳回。 9岁：前妖书案爆发。 10岁：工部主事张有德上书，要求立朱常洛为太子，内阁次辅许国以全体内阁名义上书，表示支持。但首辅申时行反对，武英中书黄正宾上书痛斥，局面混乱，已经无法弄清楚谁是谁。朱翊钧为了弄清楚，喝令将黄正宾打死，但太监不忍下手，只打了个半死。11岁：东林党创始人顾宪成辞官回家。 12岁：九大臣上书，求立朱常洛为太子，此后整整一年，朝臣前赴后继，不断提出要求，朱翊钧被逼到发疯。 13岁：朱常洛以皇长子的名义，出阁讲学。 20岁：立为太子，并册封皇太子妃郭氏。 25岁：后妖书大案爆发。 25岁：长子朱由校出生。 32岁：妖人案爆发，有王曰乾告发妖人王三诏。 34岁：梃击案爆发，有疯人张差持棍杀人东宫，欲谋刺朱常洛。 39岁：神宗皇帝朱翊钧正式死亡，朱常洛登基为帝，史称光宗。 在位29天，未及一月，死于神秘的红丸案中。 did you see that?did you see that?朱常洛这倒霉孩子，他苦苦等了三十九年，等就等那一枚药丸。三十九年后，药丸他终于拿到了手，赶紧吃了死掉——最缺德的是，就在这短短的二十九天执政期间，他狠狠地摆了一个明君的POSE。而且他这个POSE摆得极尽完美，极尽精致。正所谓，唐宗宋祖，略输文彩，秦皇汉武，稍逊风骚，一代天骄，成吉思汗，只识锅里煮肥雕……正是因为他在任期间所出台的政策是如此的合乎人们的预期，所以他的死，才会带给人们无尽的迷茫和惶惑。 按理来说，一个死得如此迅速之人，多半是脑子不够用的原因。可是，如果朱常洛的脑子哪怕是稍微地笨上那么一点点，也不可能熬得过这漫长的三十九年考验期。九九叩都拜了，就差最后一哆嗦了，他却突然哆嗦死了。 在这突如其来的死亡之后，隐藏的历史真相到底是什么？ （15）皇帝的多种不同死法 由于光宗皇帝朱常洛死得过于神速，有关他的死因，在当时就迅速地形成五大流派，分别是饿死派、累死派、后妈郑贵妃搞死派、小保姆李选侍搞死派、另有阴谋死派派。 饿死派认为，朱常洛自打生下来，就备受歧视，在死亡线上艰苦的挣扎着。由于郑贵妃的授意与指使，宫中的太监们对朱常洛采用了多种虐待手段，三伏天不发消暑费，三九天不发烤火费。夏天时孩子热得要死，冬天时又冻得要死，就这么苦苦被折磨了三十九年——他居然还能活下来就是桩怪事了，还有什么理由持续地活下去？ 累死派认为，朱常洛的身体确实不太好，三十九年的太子期也遭了许多罪，但这不足以构成他非死不可的理由。真正促成他迅速死去的，是过于繁重的工作与强大的心理压力。概因神宗朱翊钧留给他的是一个千疮百孔的烂摊子，这烂摊子就算是神仙来了，也要气到吐血，更何况他只是一个身体素质欠佳的人呢？所以说，朱常洛是累死在自己的工作岗位上，是一名催人泪下的老劳模。 后妈郑贵妃搞死派认为，朱常洛之死，和多年的苦难生活有关，和繁重的工作也有关，但这两个因素都不是决定性的。起决定作用的，是郑贵妃恶搞。史载，那郑贵妃傍了大老板神宗皇帝朱翊钧，长达三十九年来始终想搞死朱常洛，如今朱常洛掌握了权力，郑贵妃唯恐朱常洛对自己展开报复，遂于宫中精选了美女若干名，让她们去迷死朱常洛。对这项工作，众美女们是持坚决支持态度的，而且工作起来废寝忘食，兢兢业业，早晨也搞晚问也搞，睡觉也搞醒来也搞，床下要搞床上更要搞。可怜朱常洛落入到这么一群如狼似虎的女人堆里，被活活搞死，实属情理之中的事情。 小保姆李选侍搞死派认为，朱常洛确实是被美貌女人搞死的，而且郑贵妃也确实给朱常洛派去了一支由美少女组成的赤裸特工，摩拳擦掌准备搞死朱常洛。但是很不幸，当这些赤裸特工冲进来的时候，却遭遇到了小保姆李选侍，早被小保姆李选侍施展出家传的九阴白骨爪，只听刷刷刷，哧啦啦，搔得众赤裸特工大哭而走。 那么这个小保姆李选侍，又是何许人也？ 说起这李选侍，她的来头可就大了，她便是……怎么说呢？她本是历史上默默无闻的一个小女生。18岁那一年，恰好东宫扩编，于是她和姐姐就入了东宫，封为选侍。选侍的意思就是说，她是太子的性交配替补队员，一旦太子突然发情，嗷嗷嗷，却来不及去正经地方找女人，就暂时拿她凑个数，泄泄火。总之是个地位极低的角色。李选侍和姐姐同时入宫，同为选侍，这样太子宫里就有俩个选侍。搁现在，就会称为大李小李，又或是肥李瘦李，但宫中不作兴这么个称呼，太没品味。宫中的称呼是，她的姐姐住在东房，称东李。而她则住在西屋，称西李。 姊妹花来了，只怕当时的太子朱常洛，命不久矣……错！是倒霉的王皇后命不久矣！ 话说那光宗朱常洛，有俩王皇后。首届王皇后是他做太子时的患难夫妻，正所谓贫贱夫妻百事哀。当时朱常洛的生存状态，比之于民间的贫贱夫妻更要凄惨，太子妃王氏等于是被活活折磨死了。于是宫中决定，提拔东宫的王选侍为才人，再升为太子妃。这个二任太子妃王氏，替朱常洛生下了一个倒霉孩子朱由校——此人便是帝国的下一任皇帝熹宗了。 史书上记载，太子妃王氏未经小保姆李选侍许可，擅自和朱常洛胡搞，居然还敢生下孩子，这引起了李选侍的勃然大怒。愤怒之下，李选侍冲入王氏的房间，一顿暴打之后，就用上了十几种技术含量超高的宫廷秘刑。等到李选侍兴冲冲地从刑房出来的时候，太子妃王氏的尸身已经冰冷了。 另有迹象表明，太子妃王氏之死，凶手并非是李选侍一人，而是一起团伙做案。这伙潜伏于深宫大内的犯罪团伙，其主犯就是——朱常洛！ evidence? 还要什么证据？说起来，太子妃王氏是家里的女主人，李选侍最多算是个小保姆。 可如今小保姆当着男主人的面，活生生地将女主人虐杀，你还敢说这家的男主人无辜？史料表明，实际上朱常洛是一个超级变态的杀手，死在他手中的除了第二任太子妃王氏之外，还有一个淑女刘氏，她也替朱常洛生下了一个儿子，名叫朱由检——这倒霉孩子便是大明帝国的末代皇帝了，他出场的任务，就是突凸流寇李自成的凶悍，并将以被李自成逼迫，缢死于梅山上谢幕。追究起来，未来的祟祯皇帝之所以如此之倒霉，这与他不幸的童年关系非浅。 祟祯皇帝出生后，母亲刘氏就被丈夫朱常洛一脚踹出门外，理由不详，原因不明，史书上记载了可怕的后果——刘氏活活地冻死在宫门外边，而朱常洛唯恐被父亲神宗皇帝发现，就大半夜地扛着李氏的尸体，埋到了西山。 这两件事，证明了朱常洛绝非普通人物。在此人的血脉中，涌淌着的是澎湃激发的兽性。这个人只做了二十九天皇帝，算是他的运气，再多在龙椅上坐几天，迟早会干出灭绝人性的勾当来，这是必然的。 总而言之，等到朱常洛继位，升职为光宗皇帝的时候，后宫之中已没有什么悬念，李选侍呼之欲出，非皇后之位而不可。但麻烦的是，李选侍目前的身份仍然是一名小保姆，要想登堂入室，成为女主人，朝臣们是铁定不乐意的。 管你乐意不乐意，这是皇家自己的事儿。于是有一天，光宗皇帝召集属臣，商议提拔李选侍，而此时李选侍就在隔壁听着。当听到光宗要晋升她为皇妃的时候，她的火气一下子上来了，出门一把揪住正在门外玩耍的朱由校，上前哐哐两脚：“小兔崽子，马上给老娘进屋里去，对你爹说，老娘不要当什么狗屁皇妃，要当就当皇后，听明白了没有？” 史书上记载，尽管朱由校的生母是李选侍虐杀的，但朱由校对李选侍，是恐惧到了极点，就立即进屋告诉朱常洛：“爹，你别瞎整，保姆阿姨说了，她才不要什么狗屁皇妃，她要做皇后！” “做皇后……”光宗皇帝朱常洛犯难了，明明知道提出这个建议的话，铁定会遭到群臣的强烈抗议。How to do it?这么一动脑子思考，顿觉精力不足，体力不支。于是朱常洛就说：“那什么，前几天的时候，宫里不是来了个不懂医术的江湖郎中李可灼嘛，听说他给我带来几枚仙丹，这事是真是假？” 御医在一边回答道：“陛下，你明明知道李可灼是个江湖骗子，不懂医术的，怎么还会相信他的仙丹呢？” 朱常洛笑道：“你们懂个屁啊，要知道梨子的滋味，就必须先尝一尝才会知道。要知道到底是仙丹还是毒药，不吞下个十枚八枚，你又有什么资格说三道四呢？” 御医惶急：“陛下，药不能乱吃……” 朱常洛道：“我有说乱吃了吗？没有嘛，我就是尝一尝而已……快点把药拿过来！”御医力阻，术常洛如何肯听？不由分说将御医掀翻在地，夺过他的药匣子，打开来，果然就嗅到异香扑鼻，只见两枚红溜溜的仙丹，正自放置于匣中。朱常洛拈起一枚，第一个吃螃蟹的人，是勇士。那么第一个吃仙丹的人，是死人，还是仙人呢？“咕嘟”一声，已经将仙丹咽下。 正要咂沫咂沫这枚仙丹到底是什么味道，这时候就听门外边传来李选侍的声音：“陛下，你考虑好了没有？我希望你认清形势，理性选择，马上封我为皇后，我也就不再追究你以前的事情，否则的话……哼哼！”听了门外的逼迫声，朱常洛急忙抄起另一枚仙丹，嘀咕道：“老子现在是真的走投无路了。封小保姆为皇后吧，群臣肯定是通不过的，搞不好又要游行集会，静坐示威，大搞群体事件。不封小保姆当皇后吧，那后果……老子还他妈的不如死了好。” 说罢，朱常洛将第二枚仙丹往口里一丢，就见他的眼珠子“唰”的一下，在眼眶里疾速地旋转起来，朱常洛发出了一声怪异大笑：“我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒……”言讫，死之。 综上所述，此一流派的学术观点认为，朱常洛是在李选侍的强势逼迫之下，走投无路，就赌一赌那仙丹的效果。如果是仙丹，那他就羽化成仙，不管这人间的闲事了。如果不是仙丹，结果也没什么区别……但这样子的历史，委实是太诡异了。朱常洛再怎么说也是一国之君，哪怕是他真的有什么把柄抓在李选侍的手中，这时候也没有理由畏惧她。然而朱常洛的表现，却让人世世代代的读史之人，无不在这里纳闷搔头，忍不住要追问一句：“这狗屁历史，记录得不明不白，到底发生了什么事？” 最令人别扭的是，所有人都能够判断得出，肯定有什么事情没有记录，正是此事导致了朱常洛破罐子破摔，干脆一死了之。可问题是，单从逻辑上来看，这种事存在的可能性，明显低于零——历史和逻辑，在这里就这样撞上了车，那么我们到底是应该相信历史呢，还是应该相信逻辑？ 甭管信什么，反正是朱常洛已经含笑九泉了。 终于轮到了大明帝国的第十六任皇帝——熹宗朱由校出场了。
