Chapter 8 [Life is a scene of temperament emperor Ming Wuzong]-2

Yang Yiqing is sensitive to current affairs and cherishes scholars and bureaucrats, "If you know about it in the morning, you will be recommended in the evening, and your disciples are all over the world. (He) tried to be more handsome in Guanzhong, and he favored those who became a general and became a marquis, and he was endless. "He doesn't like money, and the gift of gratitude will disappear quickly, so he is very popular. In the late Ming Wuzong period, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin were in chaos, and Yang Yiqing resigned from office and returned to his hometown. When Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he especially respected Yang Yiqing and ordered him to take charge of the trilateral military affairs in Shaanxi with the title of Shaofu.The prime minister's sidewalk actually started with Yang Yiqing.Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty also issued an edict to praise the beauty, comparing Lao Yang to Guo Ziyi.After that, Yang Yiqing was squeezed out by Zhang Gui, left his job and lived idle, and died in depression.

Yang Yiqing is an eunuch with no beard and ugly appearance, but he is knowledgeable and flexible, and he is especially good at side affairs. He can be said to be the most talented courtier of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty. Many people compare him to the virtuous minister of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty Yao Chong. As for Zhang Yong, at that time he was known as "Ji Ning China and foreign countries, and the two constructions are outstanding" (he was responsible for the peaceful rebellion of the king and the capture of Liu Jin), and both of his brothers were named earls.Zhang Yong originally wanted to be named Marquis, but he gave up because the cabinet ministers disagreed.In the ninth year of Zhengde, he supervised Xuanda and defeated the invading Mongols.

After Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, Yu Shi impeached Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others for "confusing the former emperor (Wu Zong) and turning the party into a traitor". Zhang Yong was ordered to resign and "never resume his job".In the eighth year of Jiajing, it was still Yang Yiqing who spoke bluntly, saying that Zhang Yong had made great contributions to punishing Liu Jin, and he was able to be reappointed as the admiral of the regiment camp in the capital.Due to his old age, Zhang Yong died of illness soon after taking office, which was a good death.

This father-in-law was one of the "Eight Tigers" eunuchs in the early days, and he must have done a lot of evil, but if the mastermind killed Liu Jin, the rest is nothing. After Ming Wuzong killed Liu Jin in the last ten years of Ming Wuzong, the political situation did not improve.At that time, he was twenty years old, full of vigor, energy, and active nature, so the military minister Jiang Bin entered his field of vision like fate. Jiang Bin is a native of Xuanfu, and he was born as a general. He was the first to show himself in such a low-level position as the commander of the Weizhou Guard.

In the sixth year of Zhengde (1511), Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others in Hebei and other places rose up and spread rapidly. The Ming army in Beijing was too weak to control the enemy. Frontier soldiers entered Gyeonggi to destroy thieves. Li Dongyang remonstrated, first of all, he believed that Xuanfu and other places were important defensive towns for the defense of the Mongolian tribes in northern Mobei, and the deployment of a strong army to leave the post would pose a huge threat to national defense; Putting the cart before the horse. The Beijing army is cowardly inside, and they are arrogant when they go out. Let them guard the border, they must lack combat effectiveness, and they wantonly disturb the people and bring disaster.Moreover, the random exchange of the Beijing army and the frontier army will easily cause the sergeants to become confused, and it is very likely to cause halfway consequences... After talking for a long time, it is useless.

At that time, Jiang Bin was appointed as a guerrilla in Datong, and was transferred with Zhang Jun, the general of Datong. "Passing through Jizhou, killing more than 20 members of a family, and falsely calling them thieves, you will be rewarded." This statement in "History of the Ming Dynasty" may be suspicious, but the cunning of the titan has begun to show. Jiang Bin is not a soft and sycophantic eunuch. He fights bravely, disregarding life and death.During the battle with the peasant army Huaishang, he was hit by three arrows, one of which was shot in the cheek, and the arrowhead came out of the ear. Jiang Bin pulled out his hand and continued to fight on his horse. He was indeed a brave general.

In the seventh year of Zhengde (1513), the rebellion of peasant armies from all over the country gradually subsided, and the frontier soldiers were transferred to Datong and Xuanfu (this also shows that Ming Wuzong's decision was correct). When passing through Beijing, Ming Wuzong rewarded the troops and had a banquet Drink all generals.Because Jiang Bin sent a large amount of gold and silver to Qian Ning, the favorite minister of Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, he had the opportunity to be honored by the emperor in the "Leopard Room". close interview. Jiang Bin was a beautiful man, still of the burly and masculine type, tall with long arms, and handsome in appearance.Especially the scar on his face let Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty know his bravery of "pulling out the arrowhead" to attack the enemy, and sighed: "Jiang Bin is really a brave man!" The mansion guard Xu Tai and others were all left by the emperor's side and never returned to serve as border guards.

Jiang Bin is indeed a talent. Not only can he move like flying immediately, he is first-class in riding and shooting, and he can talk about soldiers. He often talks about wars in front of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty.Within a few days, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty promoted Jiang Bin to be "General Commander", and this "Lieutenant Colonel" suddenly became a "General" , became the emperor's close confidant, went in and out of the leopard room, and slept with the emperor. Jiang Bin, a careless person, played chess with Wu Zong, and dared to compete with the emperor for a piece. He was not allowed to regret the game, and his words were rude.

General Zhou Qi of the imperial guards had never seen such a bold person, and scolded Jiang Bin from the sidelines. Holding a grudge, Jiang Bin secretly ordered the officials in Jinyiwei who were close to him to frame Zhou Qi as a crime, and sent him to prison to torture him to death.After this incident, people around Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty knew the importance of the emperor's "big red man", and they were all in awe of Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin was favored, and Qian Ning, who was the first to recommend him to face the king, gradually became unhappy.Qian Ning was originally from a poor family in Yunnan.When the eunuch Qian Neng served as the supervisor of the army in Yunnan, the young Qian Ning was sold to the eunuch Qian as a slave, so he was surnamed "Qian" (his original surname is not recorded in historical records).After entering the eunuch's apartment, naturally uncles and uncles are all grand fathers.After Qian Neng's death, his family was tweeted, and Qian Ning was named "Hundred Officials".He was very good at currying favor with Liu Jin, so he was recommended to be an errand by Wu Zong's side for many years.Qian Ning was greatly favored because of his archery skills of "opening left and right bows". Emperor Wuzong always took Qian Ning with him when he did any absurd things.

Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty often fell asleep on Qianning's belly when he was drunk at banquets.When the officials were in charge, they often stood for a long time not knowing where the emperor was, so everyone had to observe Qian Ning's whereabouts and signs of dispatch, so as to infer the emperor's whereabouts.Therefore, he, a little bodyguard, has become a weather vane for the emperor's daily life.For this reason, all the ministers also rushed to make a gift to Qian Ning. If anyone in the group of officials caress about it, this villain will immediately hurt him. At the end of the eighth year of Zhengde, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty ordered Qian Ning to be in charge of Jinyiwei, and gave him the surname Guo (Zhu).At that time, the eunuch Zhang Rui was in charge of the East Factory, and Qian Ning was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, collectively known as "Factory Guard", and had a lot of power for a while.On the business card that Qian Ning made himself, he called himself "the concubine of the emperor", as if he was the emperor's son.It was Qian Ning's idea that Wu Zong built the "Leopard Room" in Da Nei, a place of sexual pleasure.Because he was born in the lower class and knew everything about the world, he successively recommended opera singer Zang Xian to sing songs, Muslim Yu Yongjin to promote aphrodisiacs, and Tibetan tantric monks to present "Shuangxiu" secret operas. Go out and mess around.It can be said that it was Qian Ning who first let Ming Wuzong know that the world outside the palace was "exciting".Especially after he was in charge of Jinyiwei, he was even more arrogant, corrupted and accepted bribes, plundered wives and concubines, and committed countless bad things.

The day when Jiang Bin was favored was also the time when Qian Ning reached his pinnacle. Originally, Jiang Bin could not compete with Qian Ning at all.However, one day a small incident happened. The positions of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin in Emperor Wuzong's heart suddenly changed: Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty had a great physique, and he often put tigers and leopards and other ferocious animals into cages in the inner palace, and he personally captured them for the show.This kind of "extreme" high-level sport, since ancient times, except for the gladiators who were forced to play in ancient Rome, few people really dare to play it. Probably the tiger sent that day was huge and fierce. After several rounds of fighting, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted and was scratched by the tiger in many places.The young man was out of breath and urgently called for Qian Ning to come into the cage for help.People, as long as there are officials, money and big houses, they will become less courageous.Qian Neng hesitated for a while, failing to express his "loyalty" at the most critical moment.Seeing the big tiger jump up with a howl, its big paws rushed towards Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, Jiang Bin, the guard beside him, did his part, jumped into the cage threshold, and kicked the tiger on the head.Ming Wuzong took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, strangling the tiger's throat with both hands, subduing the beast.At that time, he still had a smile on his face, and said to Qian Ning: "I can handle this matter alone, do I still need you!" Deep down in his heart, the emperor had already developed a hatred for Qian Ning's failure to save him at the critical moment of life and death. He naturally felt that Jiang Bin was a loyal minister, and he gave himself enough face.Therefore, in the future, Qian Ning's bad words about Jiang Bin in front of the general committee will not reach his ears at all. Jiang Bin realized that Qian Ning couldn't tolerate him, and Beijing and Beijing were all partisans of the leader of Jinyiwei, so he was alone and alone. Therefore, Jiang Bin wanted to use the frontier soldiers to strengthen himself, so he praised the frontier soldiers for their bravery and bravery to Ming Wuzong, and they should exchange defenses with the inland troops for drills. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty liked to play, and he liked martial arts even more. He immediately issued an imperial edict to dispatch troops from the four towns of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, and Yansui to Beijing, known as the "Four Outer Families".From then on, Emperor Wuzong had one more great joy, that is, tens of thousands of people performed in the palace, with flags flying, guns firing, and soldiers in full bloom, wrestling and fighting, archery and shooting exercises, and shouting and killing. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty often wore golden soft armor, straddled a tall horse, and rode side by side with Jiang Bin for inspections. "The armor is wrong, and it is almost indisputable."Having fun, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty ordered Jiang Bin to lead the Shenwei Camp, Xu Tai to lead the Bravery Camp, and gave the two national surnames, and changed the original Taipingcang to Zhenguo Mansion not far from Beijing, and established a new military unit out of thin air , exclusively for these frontier soldiers who play for him. Soon, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to allow Jiang Bin to unify the army of the four towns.Emperors play, on a grand scale.Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty often led thousands of young eunuchs who could shoot arrows into a battalion, named Zhongjun. Wearing yellow hoods, Jiang Bin and others all wear sun hats with swan feathers on them, looking majestic and majestic.Thousands of people and thousands of horses, the brocade rust is brilliant, so Ming Wuzong called the military parade "Guojin". This feeling is of course much more enjoyable than standing on a small jeep waving and shouting "Hello, comrades". Because the generals were flooding the capital and there was not enough space in the inner city, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty ordered the demolition of the houses in Jiqingfang and Mingyufang. ", play in it from time to time.He also often goes out of Beijing in micro-clothes with Jiang Bin and others, wandering around the suburbs of Beijing and other places.All the officials refused to listen to their advice. Although Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty alienated Qian Ning slightly, Jiang Bin knew that Lao Qian's power was deeply rooted.In order to keep the emperor away from Qian Ning for a long time, Jiang Bin came up with a way to persuade the emperor to travel abroad.Therefore, he often whispered in Wu Zong's ears that Xuanfu's musicians are highly skilled, there are many beautiful women in the area, and they can patrol the borders, and they can run thousands of miles in an instant. Why does the emperor insist on living in the palace all day as a courtier What bothers you.Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help nodding his head, and he became very excited. On a certain day in the autumn of the twelfth year of Zhengde (1517), under the guidance of Jiang Bin, Ming Wuzong mysteriously brought only a few hundred people to Changping, preparing to leave Juyongguan.Unexpectedly, Zhang Qin, the censor of the customs inspection, was sitting in the tower, and even though Jiang Bin and others threatened and intimidated, he insisted that the visitor had nothing to do with literature, and he just refused to let the guards open and close the door.Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty and his party had no choice but to return angrily. A few days later, Ming Wuzong ordered the eunuch Gu Dayong to replace Zhang Qin. A large group of people went out of Beijing overnight, "smoothly" passed the customs, and flew to Xuanfu. Jiang Bin had already sent people to build the luxurious and frightening "Zhen Guo Mansion" in Xuan Mansion, and transported the rare curios in the Leopard Room and the musicians of Maggie to "serve".Not only that, monarchs and ministers rose up, and many times they went to the homes of officials and people in the middle of the night to "lucky". As long as they found a beautiful woman, no matter whether they were married or not, they would hug them, screen their families, and start working immediately.This kind of emperor who entered the people's house and frequently raped women was the first and last emperor of Zhengde in Chinese history.Sincerely the "Guinness" record holder.But from the "theory" of the old era, "Within the four seas, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, are the ministers of the king; women in the world, are the concubines of the king", it is hard to say that the wives and daughters of the subjects made the emperor "lucky". What, just knelt down to send Xie En and shouted "Okay come again". Emperor Wuzong was so happy that he forgot to return home, calling Xuanfu his "home".Just imagine, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty lived in Beijing for more than 20 years, and he had never been so refreshed.Moreover, the folk women are all kinds of wonderful flowers, and they are not comparable to the dull concubines in the palace. In October, Jiang Bin accompanied Wu Zong from Xuanfu to Datong and went hunting near Yanghe.It happened that there were tens of thousands of Mongolian tribes riding against the border and plundering Yingzhou.The border general Wang Xun and others knew that the emperor was nearby and fought desperately, but the Mongols retreated in defeat.As for Ming Wuzong himself, he led a sentry team, accompanied by Jiang Bin, and happened to encounter a group of Mongolian soldiers on the way, and the two sides fought hard.The battle lasted for nearly an hour, but the Mongolian cavalry could not stop the Ming army's fine cavalry guards, leaving behind sixteen corpses to escape. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was so skillful immediately that he even beheaded a Mongolian soldier with his ninety-five honors in the battle.What used to be a war show is indeed practical today.Looking at various historical records, it is often said that this battle lost more than it gained, and claimed that hundreds of Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers died. The author thinks that the historian (the person who wrote the record of the Jiajing Dynasty) lied, and actually wanted to suppress Ming Wuzong's achievements. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally conquered many battles. Not to mention Ming Yingzong’s big bag, Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu went out many times, but they were all personally commanded. Only the young man of Ming Wuzong could put his life and death on the line as an emperor. Only one person! This actual battle made Ming Wuzong very happy, and he felt more fulfilled than Wang Shi spending millions to climb Mount Everest.Since then, he changed his identity and called himself the Duke of Zhen, the mighty general "Zhu Shou", and "the place where he is stationed is called the military gate." , actually integrated into the characters of the real game, and sent people to deliver the good news of the victory of General "Zhu Shou" to the capital.All major domestic military and state affairs were handed over to Jiang Bin by Emperor Wuzong.Jiang Bin is not a powerful minister, nor is he an eunuch who likes to exercise power. After all the memorials are reported, this master will not deal with them, "or he will be blocked until he is two or three years old (years)". The court ministers kept admonishing them, but they didn't listen.Li Gong, the food official, went to Shu, and severely impeached Jiang Bin for the crime of luring the emperor to travel. He was arrested by Jiang Bin and tortured to death in prison. After more than two months, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty returned to Beijing for the Spring Festival and presided over some ceremonial sacrifices, but his playful heart was often outside the Xuanfu Great Wall.During the first month, taking advantage of the opportunity of the suburban sacrifice, he and Jiang Bin went out to play around Miyun and Huanghua.Jiang Bin knew that the emperor was full of energy and liked civilian women, so he forced dozens of cars from good families to follow him along the way, and several of them fell to their deaths in "car accidents", causing a lot of disturbance to the people. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to return to Beijing to preside over the funeral when he heard that the Empress Dowager Wang of his grandmother's generation had died of illness.Back in Da Nei, he first issued an edict, ordering General Zhu Shou (that is, himself) to command the Sixth Army, with Jiang Bin as the deputy general, named Ping Lubo, and Yin Qi's third son as the commander of Jin Yiwei. There are more than 9,550 internal and external officials such as Tai, and hundreds of millions of rewards.As long as the emperor is happy, everything will be done at any cost. In the fourth month of summer, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty took the opportunity of delivering the coffin of the Empress Dowager to go out for another inspection tour.Hearing that there were border policemen in Ningxia, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was delighted, and hurried back to Beijing, summoned his ministers to discuss the "Northern Expedition" and prepared to send "General Zhu Shou" Together with Jiang Bin, he led the army to "defend the enemy".The ministers knew that the emperor issued an edict to themselves, and it was extremely absurd for them to appoint themselves as generals, and it was hard to explain, so they could only kneel down and remonstrate.Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was displeased, so he gathered his ministers at Zuoshunmen, and summoned Liang Chu, a scholar, to order him to make drafts in person. Liang Chu stubbornly said in a loud voice: "All other matters can be obeyed. I will never draft this system!" Emperor Wuzong was furious when he heard the words, and stood up with his sword, "If you don't draft a book, you should eat this sword!" Liang Chu prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed and weeping: "I am guilty of rebelling against the emperor's order, and I am willing to die! If it is controlled by the emperor, I will use my name as the emperor, and I dare not obey orders when I die." After a long period of stagnation, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was dissolute, but he was not a tyrannical king. He cursed and threw his sword to the ground and left.Let people write edicts by themselves, and no longer go through the formalities of the administrative department. Although the order was not issued, it could not prevent the emperor from going out by himself.Accompanied by Jiang Bin, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty crossed the Yellow River from Datong, visited Yulin for several days, camped in Suide, and took Dai Qin's daughter as his concubine. On the way back, the group passed through Piantouguan via Xi'an, and arrived in Taiyuan, where they searched for beauties and musicians in the city.It was also here that Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty fell in love with Liu Shi, the wife of the musician Yang Teng. He fell in love with this married woman so much that he brought her back.Jiang Bin's close servants are all "mother's business", and they are called Liu Niangniang.It is estimated that the later drama "You Long Xi Feng" was adapted according to this situation, but the heroine was changed from Liu's to "Li Fengjie", and the location was changed from Taiyuan to Datong. Ming Wuzong is indeed absurd.Ma Ang, the general soldier of Yansui, was dismissed because of his crime, but he has a younger sister who is as beautiful as a flower, who is good at singing and dancing. Two months pregnant.In order to keep his official position, Ma Ang, with the "assistance" of Jiang Bin, took away his younger sister from his brother-in-law Bi Chun's family and dedicated it to Ming Wuzong.Needless to say, Emperor Wuzong has a lot of fun and loves pregnant sex, and Ma Xiaomei also likes that the emperor is young, handsome, and good at kung fu.When he was happy, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty promoted Ma Ang to the right governor, gave his second brother python clothes, and ordered to build a big house for Ma Ang brothers to live in.One day, when he was very bored, Emperor Wuzong went to Ma Ang's house in person, and saw that Ma Ang was toasting with a beautiful concubine, so he ordered Ma Ang to donate it.Ma Ang hesitated, and Wu Zong left in anger.This frightened Ma Ang, and hurriedly sent the concubine into the palace through the eunuch Zhang Zhong.The next day, there was a decree that Ma Ang's second brother was promoted to a senior official in the capital command class.Overjoyed, Ma Ang "entered the four beauties again to thank them".When the courtiers knew about this, they were extremely frightened, fearing that the little officer's flesh and blood would become the "prince prince" in the future, and frantically wrote the memorial. Wu Zong was also annoyed, and soon got tired of playing with Ma Xiaomei, who was getting bigger and bigger, so he sent her out of the palace, but it didn't happen that a dog turned into a dragon. In the first month of the fourteenth year of Zhengde (1519), Ming Wuzong returned to Xuanfu from Taiyuan. "Emperor (Kaizong) traveled east and west by luck, traveled thousands of miles, rode horses, bowed and arrowed, waded through dangers, braved wind and snow, and his followers were sick. The emperor has no tired face." The physique is awesome.The young man was full of lust and traveled long distances, but he didn't feel tired at all. After returning to Beijing, he rested for a month, and Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty issued an "order" again, "Zhu Shou (himself), the Lord of the Town, made a southern tour".Because Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning in Jiangxi, had a long history of rebellion, it was known to all the world, and the ministers died of remonstrance, and more than a hundred people cried bitterly to stop him, which aroused Emperor Wuzong's anger.The guards in Jinyi were merciless and killed more than a dozen ministers with sticks.Inspired by his righteousness, the Commander of the Jinwu Guard, Zhang Ying, barred the road with two big bags of soil in his shirt-sleeves, crying and admonishing him.Seeing that Zhang Ying was not dead, the guard asked him what he wanted to do with the earth bag. Zhang Ying said: "For fear of blood staining the imperial court, cover the blood with soil."I'm so angry. After such tossing, Ming Wuzong lost interest, Jiang Bin and others, "I also know that there are people in the court, so I am a little afraid of them." In July, Zhu Chenhao, king of Ning in Jiangxi, rebelled.When the news spread to Beijing, Jiang Bin was overjoyed, intending to persuade Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty to conquest himself, and ordered that anyone who dared to appeal would be sentenced to death. Therefore, in September, Ming Wuzong led Jiang Bin, Zhang Rui, and Qian Ning to set off from Beijing.Halfway through the journey, eunuchs Zhang Rui and Jiang Bin both reported to Emperor Wuzong that Qian Ning had been colluding secretly with King Ning.Soon after Qian Ning's incident was revealed, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty sent people to arrest him immediately and search his home. People were not executed during the Ming Wuzong era.When Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Qian Ning was killed in the city, and all eleven of his adopted sons were beheaded, and the youngest son went to the silkworm room to cut off his penis.Starting as a eunuch's slave, his son became an eunuch again. Qian Ning, a poor child from Yunnan, has tossed half his life and finally got this ending. Ming Wuzong and his party "conquered in person", halfway through the journey, Wang Shouren of Jiangxi had already captured the rebellious Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao alive, but Ming Wuzong refused to let him offer up his captives, and continued his journey to the south.At the end of the year, a large army arrived in Yangzhou, forced to confiscate the houses as the governor's mansion, and hunted women and widows all over the place.Fortunately, the "Niangniang Liu" who accompanied Wu Zong on the trip was very virtuous. She often cried and advised Wu Zong not to disturb the people too much, so he restrained himself a little. In the fifteenth year of Zhengde (1520), Ming Wuzong arrived in Nanjing, and finally sat on the Dragon Court in Nanjing to find a feeling of the former Ming Taizu. The tens of thousands of northern frontier soldiers led by Jiang Bin were extremely domineering, bullied the market, bought and sold by force, and turned Nanjing into a mess, making people panic.Soon, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty wanted to go to Suzhou, go to Zhejiang, and travel all over the lake and Hunan. The officials in Nanjing complained bitterly, and the northern generals who accompanied him were not happy to go south, so the trip did not take place. In July, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty traveled to the south of Niu Shou Mountain.During this period, the army bombarded the camp at night, which shocked the officials for a long time.At that time, King Ning Zhu Chenhao had been arrested and tied to a boat on the river. People rumored that King Ning would be hijacked and changed. At this point, turn around and explain in detail the detailed process of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's rebellion and Wang Shouren's army to suppress the rebellion. Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, who was overwhelmed, was as early as the second year of Ming Wuzong Zhengde (1507). After accepting the treasure of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, the great eunuch Liu Jin tried to restore the prince's guards in the Jiangxi area, so that he had his own an armed. The lineage of King Ning is a close relative of the royal family, and the first generation of King Ning Zhu Quan is the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang.Among the sons of Taizu, "Yan Wang is good at seeking (Zhu Di), and Ning Wang is good at fighting (Zhu Quan)", neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, but Ning Wang's original fief is in Daning outside Xifengkou. The seventeenth brother was taken hostage.After proclaiming himself emperor, Zhu Di changed the title of this warrior brother to Jiangxi, keeping him away from the border and unable to develop any more.At the same time, Zhu Di imposed strict restrictions on the vassal kings, especially prohibiting them from possessing armed forces, so as not to imitate their past actions and re-stage the "Jing Nan" usurpation drama.During the Tianshun period, King Ning at that time committed many crimes, and even the guards were taken away and changed to Nanchang Zuowei. Because of Liu Jin's "accommodation" after accepting bribes, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was able to turn the Nanchang Left Guards back into the guards of his palace, and finally got a decent armed force.It didn't take long for him to be happy. Three years later, Liu Jin's downfall reversed all his past actions, and the Ministry of War changed Ning Wang's guard to Nanchang Zuowei.With such upheaval, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's divergence became even more intense.The next year, he buried his biological mother in Qinglan, Xishan, a so-called "Longxing" Fengshui treasure land, where the Ming court strictly prohibited the construction of graves. The ancients were superstitious, and King Ning was no exception.Li Rifang, a fortune teller, often said that the southeast of Nanchang City has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, so King Ning built the "Yangchun Academy" there, actually treating this place as the "Li Palace" to respond to the "qi of the Son of Heaven". In order to cheat money, Li Tianran, a sorcerer, repeatedly said that the oracle was sent from heaven, and that King Ning had the fate of "Son of Heaven".These "encouragements" And the hint conveyed by "God" made Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao eager to make a name for himself. When the minister Lu Wan was appointed as the inspector of Jiangxi Province, he was the governor of the area. King Ning sent him to the palace day and night.In the ninth year of Xuande, Lu Wan was indeed recalled to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. Organizational basis. However, King Ning is not the kind of person who is extremely slippery in the city. He is still 18,000 miles away from the position of "Son of Heaven". The "imperial decree" left many handles for the people of the time.At the same time, he sent his men to recruit more than a hundred people, including the robber Yang Qing, into the palace to work for him in Jiangxi, known as "the power".Yang Ziqiao, the bandit leader on Poyang Lake who made a living by looting and looting houses, heard about this and immediately took refuge in King Ning actively, looting on the water and on land, and helping King Ning train his men.There are people who fight and work, and the "literary courage" of Juren Liu Yangzheng is also recruited into the palace.Liu Juren is well versed in ancient and modern times. On the day he met King Ning, he talked about the "Chenqiao Mutiny" of Song Taizu in the past.King Ning Zhu Chenhao was overjoyed. He thought that Liu Ju was very sensible, and he would use Song Taizu as a metaphor to "put an end to chaos" in the world. In the tenth year of Xuande (1515), King Ning, who felt super good, angered Dai Xuan one day because of Jiangxi's commander Dai Xuan. He even ordered his subordinates to beat Dai Xuan to death on the spot with a big stick.No matter how powerful the princes of the Ming Dynasty were, they could not kill local officials appointed by the court without authorization. Hu Shining, the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi Procuratorate at the time, immediately played a copy of him, "(Zhu) Chen Hao is quite afraid , It is self-explanatory if you are too close."After all, there were Qian Ning and others in the court, and King Ning himself was not only fine, but he also falsely accused Hu Shining of "separating the royal relatives", so that Hu Shining, who had been promoted to Fujian's procurator at that time, was arrested and sent to Jinyi Prison, where he was tortured to death several times. Because Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was licentious and had no son, King Ning was moved when he heard about it, so he prepared countless silver and gold treasures to send to Qian Ning and others in Beijing, hoping that his eldest son could enter Beijing and go to the Taimiao to offer incense. In fact, he wanted to persuade Emperor Wuzong to make his son his son crown prince.At the court meeting, many ministers objected, and Ming Wuzong himself did not take this matter seriously, so let it go. Zhu Chenhao has so many abnormalities that ordinary people dare not say clearly, but Sun Sui, the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who is the governor of Jiangxi, and Wang Shouren, the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who is the governor of Nangan and other places, have long been aware of it.In particular, Sun Sui, since he himself was stationed in Nanchang and knew that a major change was about to take place, he collected taxes uniformly, put on guards, made real warehouses, distributed salt profits, gradually cut taxes that were not conducive to the court, and arrested traitors and sent them to prison. To cut King Ning's wings.Even so, with the lessons learned from Hu Shining, Sun Sui could only act in secret, and did not dare to tell the court that King Ning wanted to rebel. In the twelfth year of Xuande (1517), several officials in Prince Ning's mansion reported Zhu Chenhao's illegal deeds.Through Qian Ning in Beijing again, King Ning sent some of these people to prison and sent them to prison, and because he suspected that his subordinate Zhou Yi had informed him, he ordered the thieves to slaughter Zhou Yi's family and kill more than 60 people. Zhu Chenhao stepped up the material preparations before the rebellion, recruited hundreds of thieves, looted military and civilian property, bought leather tents, made leather armor, privately made knives and guns, and rushed to make firearms such as Frangji (fire guns) , "Continuously artificial day and night."In order to gain widespread support, he sent people to secretly contact the ethnic minorities in Zhangzhou, Tingzhou, and southern Jiangxi, and made an appointment to respond to the incident.At the end of this year, the eunuch Bi Zhen was sent by the imperial court to take care of him.In the name of paying tribute to the party, King Ning sent many people to the capital, set up fast horses along the way, and within 12 days, he would inform himself of the affairs in Beijing and investigate the movement of the capital. Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi, was worried day and night that King Ning would suddenly rebel, so he built new cities in Jinxian, Nankang, Ruizhou and other places in the name of preventing theft, and added defenses in Jiujiang military sites, and set up general judges in each case to prepare for Cang.In order to prevent King Ning from robbing the Nanchang arsenal when he raised his troops, Sun Sui dispatched all the weapons in the arsenal of the Weicheng to other places in the name of begging for thieves. He will also be destroyed by the court because of my current arrangement." Since Sun Sui led his troops to catch the robbers in a hurry, many of the thieves under King Ning were killed or arrested, so the prince hurriedly found "old connections" "Lu Wan asked him to collude with Qian Ning and others to find a way to transfer Sun Sui away. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Sun Sui went to the court several times, about seven times, and urgently reported to King Ning that he was going retrograde and speeding up, but all the senders were killed on the way.Since King Ning himself was close to the emperor of the Ming court, Sun Sui did not dare to act preemptively. Ning Wang and his group were still patient, and planned to wait until Ming Wuzong fell to his death while traveling or was bitten to death by a tiger and leopard while playing in the leopard room before taking the opportunity to make trouble.However, in Beijing, the eunuchs Zhang Zhong, Jiang Bin and others were fighting for power with Qian Ning, and they all knew about the secret collusion between King Ning and Qian Ning, so they wanted to take advantage of the revelation of King Ning's treachery to get Qian Ning down. Zhang Rui, the eunuch of Dongchang, and Yang Tinghe, a bachelor, had previously received a large sum of gold and treasure from King Ning, but they learned that the prince was really rebellious, and they were afraid that something would happen to them in the future, so they also made trouble. Desperate, the anti-form has already taken shape." Seeing that so many people said so, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty immediately sent eunuch Lai Yi and son-in-law Cui Yuan to Nanchang with the edict to warn Zhu Chenhao and cut off his guards. As a result, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao had no choice but to rebel in advance. The thirteenth day of the sixth lunar month in the fourteenth year of Xuande is Zhu Chenhao's birthday.He is throwing a banquet in the palace to entertain the officials of the Third Department of Zhenfu who came to celebrate his birthday.During the banquet, King Ning's preset spies in Beijing reported that the imperial court had sent people to punish the crime and wanted to remove the guards.King Ning was shocked and hurriedly recruited Liu Yangzheng and others to discuss secretly. Liu Yangzheng first suggested: "Tomorrow morning, the officials of the Third Division of Zhenfu will come to thank you in accordance with the etiquette. You can take this opportunity to arrest all the officials, kill those who are not with us, and then send troops to riot!" At this point, there is no better way, otherwise we can only sit back and wait to be caught.Therefore, Ning Wang and others arranged overnight, summoned the thief Wu Shisan and others who were usually kept by him, and asked them to set up ambushes on the left and right sides of the hall. Early the next morning, all the officials came to thank yesterday's birthday banquet.As soon as he got up, hundreds of soldiers with swords suddenly broke in from outside and surrounded the officials. When everyone was stunned, King Ning got up and announced loudly: "Zhengde (referring to Wu Zong) is a child picked up by Emperor Xiaozong from the people. The Queen Mother has a secret decree to let me enter the court to supervise the country. Do you know about it?" Liaofu Sun Sui didn't expect the incident to be so sudden, but at this moment, he knew that the prince was really going to rebel, so he stepped forward alone and scolded: "Where is the queen mother's secret order?" King Ning was taken aback, he didn't expect Sun Sui to question him like this.After staying for a while, he raised his neck and shouted: "Don't say too much, I'm going to Nanjing now, will you escort me?" Sun Sui scolded angrily: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the ministers. With Taizu's legal system, what are you!" Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was furious, and he ordered the guards to tie up Governor Sun. According to Xu Kui, the deputy envoy of the procuratorate, shouted: "Sun Du Yushi is a minister of the country. You rebels, do you really dare to kill ministers?" If you don't listen, you are under the control of others, and you will regret it!" King Ning sent soldiers to surround him, tied up Xu Kui, and asked him if he would join him in the uprising.Xu Kui scolded: "You dog thief, I can only serve the country with my heart, how can I follow you as a rebel!" He also shouted: "Today the thief will kill me, and tomorrow the court will kill you and other rebels!" Therefore, Sun Sui and Xu Kui were both escorted by King Ning to be beheaded outside Huimin Gate in Nanchang.The two were unyielding at the time of execution and yelled at each other.When the people in the city heard it, they all shed tears and sighed. If you don't do it, you don't stop.Ning Wang ordered people to put more than ten people who were not with him among the officials into prison. Under the plan of Liu Yangzheng, King Ning hijacked Li Shibao, a retired former servant in Nanchang, and hijacked some officials of the Third Department of Zhenfu, "Calling the Ministry of Zifu, passing on the far and near, changing the title of Zhengde, and denouncing Chengyu (emperor)." From the theory at that time. Speaking of it, King Ning's rebellion has many pretexts, which can be called "the side of the emperor of Qing Dynasty" or "the emperor of chasing the faint". , but he himself is a great evil person, so his appeal is not strong. When nothing happened, King Ning appointed Li Shibao as the prime minister of the left, and Liu Yangzheng as the prime minister of the right. He sent a few bandits to seize the ship along the current and withdraw troops everywhere.At the beginning, the rebels went well. Nankang and Jiujiang were both captured, and the local guards and generals fled. The first to denounce King Ning's crimes was Wang Shouren, who was then admiral of the Southern Jiangxi military affairs.And the reason why he survived the disaster in Nanchang this time and was not killed together with Sun Sui, Xu Kui and others was because Wang Qiong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War at that time, had a vision.Wang Qiong knew that King Ning would rebel sooner or later, and it happened that there was a small-scale rebellion by the Three Guards soldiers in Fuzhou, so he temporarily sent Wang Shouren to Fuzhou to deal with the matter.Wang Qiong said to his subordinates: "The military chaos in Fuzhou is a trivial matter. It is not enough to bother Wang Shouren, who is so talented, to put it down. But he can use this to control an army, and he has an edict in his hand, waiting for him to change (referring to King Ning at any time) possible rebellion)." As a result, Wang Shouren was not caught by King Ning at the banquet in Nanchang because he was out. King Ning officially rebelled on June 24. On June 15, Wang Shouren heard the news in Fengcheng and immediately rushed back to Jiangxi.The prefect of Linjiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly welcomed him into the city to discuss strategies against the enemy. Although Wang Shouren is a civil servant, he knows the general strategy of war very well. He said: "If Chen Hao has a good strategy, he will go straight to the capital, and if he does not expect it, the country will be in danger; if he makes a good strategy and goes straight to Nanjing, the north and south of the river will be occupied by him for a while. ; If you only stick to the capital of Jiangxi Province, then you can use a bad strategy to capture and destroy them in one fell swoop!" Therefore, he immediately sent people to set up suspicious soldiers at key points leading to Beijing and Nanjing, and forged false official documents that the imperial court had sent troops to prepare for, and deliberately let King Ning's men pick them up, creating the illusion that there were preparations everywhere.Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was caught in the trap and did not dare to send troops to attack immediately.As a result, Wang Shouren was given a lot of mobilization and breathing time. After meeting Wang Shouren and Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, they discussed: "The way of a military strategist is to rush to the front and attack with preparation. It is not a good idea. Now we pretend that we can't defend ourselves in various cities. King Ning will gather troops soon. We set off from Nanchang, and at that time, we will follow and chase. According to my plan, King Ning's troops will come out, and we should immediately send troops to recover Nanchang, the provincial capital. When he heard that his lair was taken away, he would definitely come back to rescue him. Inviting an attack on the way back to the army is the way to complete victory." Wang Qiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Beijing at that time, received the news that Wang Shouren was flying to rebel King Ning, and declared to the crowd: "With Wang Shouren here, you don't need to worry, there will be good news soon." After the Ming court learned of King Ning Zhu Chenhao's counter-examination, according to the suggestions of Jiang Bin and others, they quickly arrested Qian Ning, Lu Wan and others, and sent them to prison to ransack their homes. The investigation found that Jiangxi Wang Shouren and others could not come out of the city. Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao became more courageous and left only a few thousand people to guard Nanchang.取南京，载其妃媵、世子（朱）从，总一百四十余队，分五哨出鄱阳（湖），舟田舻蔽江而下。” 造反大军，先攻安庆。安庆城里，守臣守将勇武，宁王朱宸濠数日不能攻克。 王守仁得知宁王出南昌的消息，知道一切皆在预料之中，便与伍文定在临江樟树镇会兵。“于是知府戴德孺引兵自临江，徐琏引兵自袁州，邢洵引兵自赣州，通判胡尧元引兵自瑞州，通判谈储等人，各以其兵至。”六月十八日，大家齐集丰城，商议如何出兵事宜。 听说王守仁欲攻南昌，不少人有疑意：“宁王一直谋划造反，南昌留备必严，恐怕难以一日攻拨。今宁王攻安庆，日久不克，兵疲意沮，不如以大兵逼之于江中，与安庆守军夹攻之，必败敌人。宁王一败，南昌不攻自破……” 王守仁摇头，说出自己的意见：“不然。我军如舍南昌不攻，与宁王必定相持于江上。安庆守军仅能自保，不可能抽兵增援我们。此时，宁王南昌守军可以乘间断绝我们的粮道，而南康、九江贼军又可合势出击，我们腹背受敌，肯定要吃大亏。宁王集所有精锐之兵齐攻安庆，南昌防御必薄。加上我军新集气锐，南昌定可一攻而克。宁王闻我军攻南昌，必会自安庆解围，还兵救其老巢。待其回军，我方已克南昌，宁王闻之必然夺气，首尾牵制，必为我擒！” 果然，七月二十一日，大军齐集南昌城下，王守仁下达死命令：“一鼓附城，二鼓登城，三鼓不登者诛，四鼓不登者斩其队将！”于是，号令一下，士兵蚁附秉城。城上虽设守御，皆闻风倒戈，城门多有不闭者，打兵遂入。 南昌如此坚城，由于宁王暴虐，人民不附，守将怯懦，几乎没怎么招集，就被王守仁大军攻陷。入城后，王守仁安抚士民，籍封府库，城中遂安。 当时的朱宸濠正因安庆久攻不下而着急上火，亲自督兵填濠堑，竖云梯，期在必克。听闻王守仁帅兵攻南昌，宁王大恐。李士宝等人多谋，劝宁王舍安庆不攻，径攻南京。如果登帝位，自然占据了名义上的优势，可使江西等地自服。宁王短视小人，惦记老窝的金银财宝，没有听从李士宝建议，马上要回援南昌。他从安庆撤围，立刻派二万精兵先发，他自率四万军随后继之。 听闻宁王朱宸濠大军还攻江西，明军内部有人建议：“宁王兵盛，凭其愤怒，乘众而来。我方援军未集，势不能支，不如坚壁自守，以待四方之援。” 王守仁自有其独特见解。“宁王兵力虽强，但以威劫众，所至焚掠，不得民心。虽兵马势众，但宁王部伍从未遇旗鼓相当之军与之相战。其部将本来想待其称帝以取富贵，今其进取不能，巢穴又失，沮丧退归，众心已离。我军以锐卒乘胜击之，彼将不战自溃！” 果不其然，七月二十三日，王守仁率诸将在樵舍迎击宁王朱宸濠叛军，败其前锋。转天，黄家渡一战，又大败叛军，“追奔十余里，擒斩二十余级，溺水死者万计。贼气大沮，退保八字脑。” 至此，宁王的先遣军，已经完全被消灭。 宁王本人乘舟夜泊，泊地名为“黄石矶”。他问从人当地何名，南人“黄” 、“王”二音不分，对曰“黄石矶”，宁王听成“王失机”，大怒，立身挥剑，把答话人脑袋砍掉。叛军见兵败，军心已经溃散，逃兵日多。 事已至此，硬着头皮也要死撑到底。宁王朱宸濠大赏将士，奖当先者千金，受伤者五百金，并招南康、九江贼兵前来江合，并力合战。 重赏之下必有勇夫。叛军拼死前冲，杀掉官军数百人，战阵不稳。吉安知府伍文定虽是文臣，提剑监军，急斩先退者数人以徇。他身先士卒，站立炮铳之间，大火焚其须髯，伍文定坚守不动。见伍知府如此，众军勇气倍增，殊死抵拒，兵势复振。 明军铳炮齐发，宁王朱宸濠所乘指挥大舟也挨炮着火，贼众大溃。不得已，宁王率残兵退保樵舍，联舟为方阵，准备做垂死挣扎。 正当贼王贼将为如何处理败将争执不下之时，官军已经发动火攻，大军四集，争相进击，贼军终于四散而逃，大势去矣。 时至此刻，宁王朱宸濠万念俱灰，与嫔妃泣别，成百绝色佳人知道造反被抓没什么好结果，皆赴水自杀。至于宁王本人、其世子，以及李士宝、刘养正等数百贼头，皆被生俘。此战，叛军溺水淹死的就有三万多，“弃其衣甲器仗财物，与浮尸积聚，横亘若洲。”水上战场真是“壮观”得很。 官军把朱宸濠一行人押上囚车返南昌，军民聚观，欢呼之声震动天地。 入城后，王守仁阅视俘虏，宁王老着脸还哀呼：“王先生，我欲尽削护卫，还能当个庶民老百姓吗？” 王守仁心中冷笑，脸上不动声色，回答道：“自有国法处置你。” 这边宁王已被活捉，京城内的明武宗高兴得心急火燎，借“亲征”之名南巡，以尽游玩之乐。 大军刚行至良乡，王守仁捷报已至，并表示要献俘阙下。明武宗连发数檄止之，如果宁王被送来北京，他就不能“南巡”游乐了。 阴历九月间，明武宗至南京，王守仁又欲到南京献俘，仍不被允。江彬、张忠等人深知皇上爱玩的心性，想让王守仁把宁王一行人放归鄱阳湖，以使明武宗能亲自率军与其“交战”，而后再奏凯论功。 王守仁不得已，连夜过玉山，押解宁王一行叛将取道浙江以进。这时候，大太监张永在杭州正等着王守仁，准备让他纵俘鄱阳湖，以使皇帝能亲自“打猎”。 王守仁见张永，苦求道：“江西之民，久受宁王荼毒，今经大乱，又继以旱灾，加之供京军粮饷，困苦已极。如再有苦压，一定会啸聚山谷为乱。如果此时放宁王入湖，兵连祸结，何时有个结局啊！” 张永即是昔日诛除刘瑾的首谋太监。听王守仁一席话，也深以为然，缓言道：“我此行杭州，因为群小（指江彬等军人）在君侧，不得已侯你于此，非为掩功而来。但皇上之意可顺不可逆，群小若乘其怒激之，大事不好。” 王守仁听此言，稍稍心定，便把宁王一行贼人转交张永，连夜返回江西。老王学乖，再上奏疏，称“奉威武大将军方略讨平叛乱”，即把大功归于武宗皇帝及其左右。 张永回南京后，见武宗皇帝，极言王守仁忠臣，良可信赖。本来，江彬等人事先已经在武宗皇帝前进谗言，讲王守仁本来依附宁王朱宸濠，后来见其不能成功，才反手一击击擒宁王。经张永大公公一番释疑解惑，武宗皇帝终于相信王守仁是“好人”。于是，他下诏命王守仁巡抚江西，并擢升吉安知府伍文定为江西按察司使。 年底，宁王一行俘囚槛车至南京。武宗皇帝想自以为功，就与江彬等诸近侍戎服骑马，大列队伍，出城数十里，列俘于前，作凯旋状。 宁王朱宸濠被囚一年后，正德十五年（1520年）年底才被赐死，并被焚尸扬灰。宁王之乱，终于尘埃落定。 王守仁方面，平宁王之乱，立下如此殊勋，但终武宗之世一直未叙功。明世宗入统，很想招王守仁入朝，并下诏封其为“新建伯”。但是，王守仁与兵部尚书王琼关系好，阁臣杨廷和与王琼不睦，不少大臣嫉妒王守仁功劳，皆以“国哀未毕，不宜举宴行赏”为名，阻止他入京。虽然稍后任命他“南京兵部尚书”这样一个虚衔，“然不予铁券，岁禄亦不给。”忧恨之下，王守仁拒不上任，病辞归家。未几，其父病死，因丁父忧，他只能闲居于乡，郁郁数年。 明武宗戏剧人生的终结正德十五年（1520年）闰八月，玩够了猫捉耗子游戏的明武宗终于率军往北京回返。 回程路上，武宗皇帝当然不会闲着，自瓜洲过长江，登金山，游镇江。在清江浦，武宗见水上风景优美，鱼鳞潜底，顿起渔夫之兴，便自驾小船捕鱼玩耍。 结果，提网见鱼多，明武宗大乐，尽力挽提，使船体失去平衡，他本人跌落水中。 明武宗在北京长大，不懂游水，掉入水中后手忙脚乱，一阵乱扑腾，亲侍们虽然把他救回，但水呛入肺，加之惊悸惶怖，身强力壮的小伙子自此身体就不行了。 导致他大病的原因，最有可能的是，武宗皇帝呛水后引致肺部高压，使血液中的水渗透入组织间隙，造成肺部换气障碍，进而引致肺部积水。另一个可能，是受惊加秋日着凉，引发肺炎，才击跨了身体特棒的皇帝。今天，肺炎乃一般病症，大剂量消炎药加上保养能痊愈。但在明朝，肺炎、肺积水可是要人命的绝症。 途中耽搁几个月，正德十六年（1521年）春正月，明武宗一行才回到北京，文武百官在正阳桥南接驾。武宗皇帝身体困疲，仍强自支撑，入城时大耀军容，把俘虏的贼将贼臣以及从逆者家属数千人皆五花大绑，皆令他们在辇道跪于两边，“生者标其姓命，死者悬首于竿”，特别不吉利的是，路两旁皆标以白帜，数里不绝，一派发大丧的排场，当时就有不少人觉得不祥。 明武宗仍旧戎服乘马，立正阳门下，阅视良久，才入宫中歇息。老小伙子又发烧又咳又胸闷，还有心气和精气神玩阅俘的把戏，真正是荒唐到底。 正月十四日，明武宗仍旧强撑，在南郊主持大祀礼。行初献礼时，武宗皇帝下拜，忽然口吐鲜血，瘫倒在地，大礼不得不终止。 拖了近两个月，正德十六年阴历三月十二日，武宗皇帝处于弥留状态，对司礼太监讲：“朕疾不可为也。告知皇太后。天下事重，望太后与阁臣审处之。前事皆由朕误，非汝辈所能预也。”人之将死，其言也善。言毕，这位英俊爱玩的大明天子崩于豹房，时年三十一。 其实，明武宗朱厚照在后世人眼中十足坏人一个，但相比明太祖，明成祖，明世宗，明神宗，明熹宗，他并没有坏到哪里去。只是继位为帝的不是他儿子，而是以藩王入大统的堂弟明世宗。出于私愤，明世宗在实录编撰中下令史臣皆录其恶，丝毫不为尊者讳，使得武宗皇帝荒唐之行天下人皆知，且“万古流芳”。 明武宗为帝，北征南巡以外，不是没有干过好事。史不绝书的，是正德一朝多次赈灾免赋，而且，刘瑾之诛，宁王、安化王乱平，北边御蒙古，皆是正德年大事，而且他在位时代的臣子有不少能干贤才，皆从侧面反应出这位帝王治下的总体治略的可称道之处。再举数个小事以彰显正德时代的“好事”：其一，宁王造反，武宗亲征，行至山东临清，传令当地官员进“膳”。由于人多苍猝，武宗本人面前竟然忘记放筷子。他笑道：“怎么这样怠慢我！”话虽如此，并未发怒，吓得尿裤的地方官未得任何怪罪；其二，太监黎鉴向都御史王頨索贿被拒，便跪于武宗面前哭诉王頨虐待蔑视自己，武宗笑言：“肯定是你要人家东西没要成，王巡抚怎敢惹你这样朕身边的红人。”；其三，武宗皇帝一行至扬州，江彬等人欲夺富人宅院为“威武将军府”，知府蒋瑶坚执不可（现在某些官员还不知明朝这位爷，专替开发商强拆老百姓房屋）。江彬伺机报复，正好明武宗手钓大鱼一条，戏称价值五百两银子，江彬就强卖给在一帝侍立的蒋瑶，让他用库钱购买。 蒋瑶屁颠颠从家中跑回来，把老婆的耳坠头簪献上，说：“官库无钱，臣所有惟此。”见此，武宗皇帝也是“笑而遣之”；其四，武宗祖母太皇太后王氏崩，百官送葬时，正值大风雨，泥地中众人欲下跪时，明武宗遣人谕止……诸多小事，从一个侧面说明明武宗本人并非残虐淫暴大恶之君，他这辈子坏就坏在一个“玩” 字上。 所以，史臣也公正：“毅皇（武宗）手除逆（刘）瑾，躬御边寇，奋然欲以武功自雄”，该肯定的也应肯定。 明武宗病危时，江彬不知深浅，仍矫旨改团营为“威武团练”，任命自己为军马提督，兼掌京内大军，以至于大臣们都忧惧江彬旦夕之间想造反。 大学士杨廷和文人老姜，亲自与江彬寒喧，常常没事人一样笑谈，使得江彬不觉有异。明武宗崩后，杨廷和密不发丧，与司礼太监魏彬定计，派内官密禀太后，索得除掉江彬的手敕。于是，他们以坤宁宫殿成，要行安装上梁的仪式，派找江彬与工部尚书李燧一起入宫主持典礼。 江彬不知是计，穿礼服入宫，其侍卫被阻于宫外。祭礼毕，江彬欲出，太监张永又出面，留他吃饭。 远远看见有宦者持诏带几个锦衣卫士兵走来，江彬感觉不对，朝西安门方向狂奔，但宫门紧闭。无奈，他又顺墙疾行，趋北安门。结果，把门的兵将说： “皇上有旨，留提督在宫内！” 江彬可笑又可气：“今日旨从何出？”意思是皇帝病成那样，我又没派人发旨，哪里有什么“圣旨”。说话间，他推搡拦阻他的门将，想乘间逃出宫去。 这时，得到密令的门将再也不怕江彬，命手下士兵一涌而上，把江提督绑成粽子，连打带骂，把他胡须拨个精光。昔日威武绝伦的大将，如今狼狈不堪。 明世宗继位后，下诏凌迟江彬，并杀其成年的五个儿子，其幼子江然与其妻女“俱发功臣家为奴”。对江彬抄家时，查得黄金七十柜，白银两千两百柜，其他珍宝不可数记。 凭实而论，江彬也就是一个恃宠跋扈武夫而已，“自始至终没有剪除异已之心，也没有质劫公卿之志，一心一意只想哄明武宗开心，常年导其游猎，骚扰地方。所以，他在武宗身边十年，为恶之事，比起刘瑾的乱政五年，远远不及。 明武宗弥留之际，江彬没有任何拥立宗室的打算，可称是皇帝耿耿忠臣，绝无为已为身远谋的私虑。为此，虽然江彬当时是以“谋逆”的罪名惨遭凌迟，后世史臣并未把他列入什么“逆臣传”或“奸臣传”中，只划入“佞幸”一类而已，实为公允。 最后，再表一个与本
