Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The Weird Emperors of the Ming Dynasty

After Ming Wuzong's death, there was no son. The ministers first killed all the close ministers around Ming Wuzong, and then elected a new emperor, who was Ming Wuzong's cousin, known as Emperor Sejong in history. As soon as Emperor Sejong came to the throne, he encountered a "dispute for great gifts". What is a dispute for great gifts?In fact, these ministers deliberately teased him, saying that you have become the emperor, but your throne is not inherited from your father, but from your cousin, so, you can’t control it in the future Your dad is called dad, and you can't call your mom mom anymore.Emperor Sejong is so awkward. I thought to myself that if I become emperor, why can't my parents recognize me?No, this matter must be made clear.This dispute over the gift lasted for a long time, resulting in the imprisonment of more than 300 ministers, dozens of ministers were beaten to death by the imperial staff in the court, and finally Ming Shizong won.

After the victory, Emperor Sejong thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of power.Then he began to pursue a life goal.What goal?live forever.He hoped to live forever, so he organized a group of monks and priests to practice alchemy in the palace every day.But this pill felt that his body was getting worse and worse while eating it, so he thought, is there any way to live forever?At this time, a sorcerer gave him a word, saying that according to the law between heaven and earth, two dragons cannot meet.What does that mean?That is to say, your emperor is a real dragon, but the crown prince is also a real dragon.Once your two dragons meet in the ground, the upper heavens will see: what's going on?Why did two dragons emerge from the ground?Then come back the old dragon.In this way, you, Emperor Sejong, will not be able to prolong your life, and you will have to return to the kingdom of heaven, so in order to live a long life, you cannot meet the prince.

Therefore, Emperor Sejong never saw the prince and refused to hear any news from the prince.Who is the prince?The prince is Emperor Muzong Longqing.The emperor is sad, he hides in the palace every day, afraid that his father will hear about him, and if he hears about him, he will die. In this fear, the crown princess became pregnant.This frightened the prince to death, because everything else could be hidden from the emperor, but the fact that the princess was pregnant and had a baby could not be hidden, it had to be reported.But after the report, in case Emperor Sejong took a look: there is still a dragon?Kill him first, it will be miserable.

So in order to save his life, the prince, that is, Emperor Mu Zong Longqing, thought of a way, got a dose of abortion medicine, and poured it into the princess.As a result, the child was not poisoned to death after being poured down, but something went wrong with the poison. The child conceived by the Crown Princess is the Emperor Shenzong. Due to the abortion drug, his appearance is completely different from that of a normal person.What does he look like?We can imagine Monk Sha, who was studying Buddhist scriptures in the West, locked him in a dark room and starved him for eight months before pulling him out. That person must look like Shenzong.

What does it look like?The forehead is pointed, and there is no hair growing on it, because of the intrusion of the poison, and then around you say that the hair is still one by one, and you say that the hair is curled and permed. In short, it is a monster. Moreover, this Emperor Shenzong had been immersed in a kind of inexplicable grief and indignation all his life.Why is he sad and angry?Think about this child, his consciousness has not yet formed, and when he is enjoying a kind of security in the mother's womb, he suddenly feels the fire burning his body, and a wave of poison invades him.He doesn't understand what's going on in this world, why on earth is treating him like this.He was indignant and painful, but he didn't know the reason. This mentality led him to adopt a distinctive style of governance.what style?General strike, Emperor Shenzong went on strike for 39 years and did not go to court, manage affairs, or ask politics.A very bizarre phenomenon appeared in the empire of this era. Many ministers worked until they died of old age, but after they died of old age, this position was lacking and no one filled it.Why is no one filled?If you want to fill it, you must get the approval of the emperor. If he doesn't go up to you, what kind of approval will he give you?So the entire empire was completely paralyzed.

During this period, Emperor Shenzong loved Concubine Zheng very much, and Concubine Zheng gave birth to a child and became King Fu. This Fu Wang died miserably, and was later killed by Li Zicheng, and was boiled and eaten after drinking all his blood. Concubine Zheng hoped that her son King Fu would become emperor, and then she repeated the previous history and suppressed the prince, hoping that Emperor Shenzong would kill the prince. Who is the prince?The prince is the next emperor Guangzong.At this time, Guangzong lived in hiding in the palace like his ancestors every day in fear.Guangzong had two concubines: one was Liu, who gave birth to a child who was the penultimate emperor of the Ming Empire, Emperor Xizong of Tianqi; the other was Wang, and the child born by Wang would be the future The subjugated emperor Chongzhen.

Just when Emperor Guangzong was extremely out of balance, a woman came by his side. Who is this woman?It is impossible to tell the origin of this woman in history. She is also a lady who was selected to serve Emperor Guangzong in the palace.In our present terms, the lady was at best a babysitter. In history, she was called Li Xuanshi, but she did not leave her name.After she entered the palace, she captured Emperor Guangzong's heart quickly and easily, and then she began to torture the women in front of her.The first person to be tortured was Emperor Xizong's mother Liu Shi. When Xizong was 14 years old, she was beaten to death by Li Xuanshi. ——It is certain that Guangzong must have participated in this series of "domestic violence".Imagine a little nanny killing the hostess, without the permission and participation of the host, it is impossible.This is the tragedy of Emperor Xizong's life.

Then there is Emperor Chongzhen.At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was just four years old.Li Xuanshi had a special hatred for Emperor Chongzhen's mother, Wang Shi, and abused her in various ways every day.In the end, Li Xuan's attendant laid down his hands and forced Wang to take off his clothes and stand outside the door in a severe winter.Wang didn't dare to resist, because it was in the palace, and she didn't dare to let Emperor Guangzong know this.Therefore, it is very likely that Emperor Chongzhen witnessed this tragedy in life and watched his mother being pushed out of the door by an inexplicable fierce woman and freezing to death.

Therefore, Emperor Xizong and Emperor Chongzhen, the two children, one fourteen years old and the other four years old, fell into the hands of the enemy Li Xuanshi, who raised them up.Can you imagine what kind of growth environment this is?Its cruelty, horror, and terror have reached the extreme.The enemy who killed your biological mother came to raise you, can she treat you well?Some are just training in a slave personality.
