Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Emperor's Happy Life

In fact, to Zhu Houzhao, whether Mr. Liu Jin is dead or alive is not very important, it is just a new playmate, who is it not to play with? Not long after that, he picked on a man named Qian Ning. About this man, there is nothing to say. Liu Jin was an old man, and he had no strengths other than obedience. Qian Ning was different. He was not old at that time, and he could keep up with the trend of the times, playing with whatever was new. With his help, Zhu Houzhao played very well. There are many records of this dear man in the unofficial history, and there are also many shocking things. I won’t say more here. After all, this article is based on the official history. Misunderstood my son, but for a brother with such character as Zhu Houzhao, it is still necessary to spread his legendary deeds.

Most of the following incidents are the real events of Mr. Zhu Houzhao. Please criticize and absorb them, and be careful not to imitate them. I cannot bear the responsibility if something goes wrong. First of all, let’s talk about the well-known “Leopard Room”. When most people hear this name, they will feel that it is not suitable for children. In fact, this Leopard Room is indeed a bit unsuitable for children. Let me explain first that the Leopard Room is not a private room, but a palace built by Zhu Houzhao. It is near the Xihua Gate. This old man spends his time here every day. What is it that can attract this old man?

Because this leopard house not only kept many beauties and musicians that Zhu Houzhao found from all over the country, but also his wild animal park, where there were various animals, most of which were leopards. Why do you raise leopards? You must know that Mr. Zhu Houzhao decided after thousands of choices and trial and error. He often kept wild animals in dungeons, and then hung the meat on bamboo poles for wild animals to bite. Over time, many wild animals also died. Played disabled by him.Through careful observation and scientific practice, he found that only leopards have the highest enthusiasm and the most vicious bite movements, so he likes to raise leopards the most.

There is such a good place where you can play music, people, and animals, so Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't want to leave. Let's talk about the woman issue. He has a very bad reputation (or a very good one) in this regard.According to various historical materials, it is possible that Mr. Zhu Houzhao visited a brothel.Of course, he went there after changing out of the yellow uniform he wore for work, and he was indeed relatively well-behaved, it is said that he never cheated on his debts. As for the rule that "family flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers", Zhu Houzhao also has a lot of experience. He has his queen and countless concubines and court ladies, but the strange thing is that Zhu Houzhao seems not satisfied with these.Regarding this, I am also quite puzzled. It may be that the quality of the concubines who entered the palace in those years was not good, or that Zhu Houzhao was tired of this step-by-step life.

So he did something that made the Neo-Confucianists stare, the old men sigh, and even his ancestors could not even imagine. He doesn't like girls who are twenty-eight years old and have just been elected to the palace, but he likes married women. When he gets tired of Han people, he picks people from ethnic minorities.Anyway, just be different from others. For example, Ma Ang, the chief soldier of Yansui at that time, was dismissed because something happened to him while he was in office. This man was a relatively shameless person. He sent his sister to the palace on a whim, which was nothing at all. Strange, but the problem is that his sister is married, and her husband is still alive!

Not only did Zhu Houzhao not feel that there was any problem, but he accepted all the orders and was very happy. Not long after, he found Ma Ang again: "I heard that your little wife is very beautiful?" Ma Ang was overjoyed (really shameless): "As long as the emperor likes it." So Ma Ang's concubine entered the palace. Yang Tinghe found out about this, and it is said that he was so angry that he almost hit his head against the wall. It seems that Mr. Yang's psychological quality is still too bad, because what happened next is truly unprecedented and unprecedented.

Soon after, Yang Tinghe heard a rumor: a pregnant woman was called into the palace by Zhu Houzhao. He collected himself, and then told himself that this is not true, it must be a rumor, it must be a rumor! But when he came to Zhu Houzhao and saw the little ancestor nodding casually, he completely collapsed. What kind of thing is this!What if a pregnant woman enters the palace and really gives birth to a child?Whose is it?Think about it, this old man has always done things that are unreasonable, and he himself doesn't like those famous women in the harem, and he doesn't have any children now. Unknown child to inherit!How could this be possible!

The more Yang Tinghe thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he had to order his subordinates to keep an eye on this little ancestor day and night, for fear that he would do more excessive things. Fortunately, as far as women are concerned, this old man stopped here, but Yang Tinghe was not happy for long, because the energetic Zhu Houzhao really did something shocking. According to historical records, in ancient times, if you want to become famous in one fell swoop, there is the fastest shortcut - go up the mountain to fight tigers.Successful people such as Wu Song and Li Kui are good examples of glory, and although Mr. Zhu Houzhao is already very famous, he also thought about the addiction of fighting tigers.

One day, he asked someone to get a tiger specially. He wanted to subdue it himself, but after thinking about it, he didn't have the guts to do it, so he waved to Channing and asked him to do it for him. Channing is going crazy. Although he has been playing with Zhu Houzhao all the time, he never thought that he really played so much that he even played with tigers! You know, it's not easy for me to mix food and drink, my brother. I flatter and play with me. It's just to make a living, and now I have to risk my life to tease the tiger!quit!Don't kill me! He shook his head.

Zhu Houzhao saw it, and he waved to Qian Ning again, who then shook his head. Channing was not interesting enough, but the tiger was very interesting. It reacted friendly to Zhu Houzhao's waving—and swooped over. Zhu Houzhao also reacted immediately - to run away, but naturally he couldn't run away from the tiger. At this critical moment, a military officer stood up and blocked the tiger, and then everyone stepped forward and controlled the tiger. If this were to be placed on ordinary people, it would probably be quite frightening, but Zhu Houzhao, who was standing aside, did not panic, and said this sentence with a smile:

"It's enough for me, without you." This time Yang Tinghe didn't overreact, because he couldn't bear any more stimulation. This is the private life of Mr. Zhu Houzhao. Judging from the above performances, we seem to be able to give him a label of shamelessness, but we have to say that this conclusion may not be correct. If you carefully analyze the behavior of this gentleman, you will find that there seems to be a unique motive hidden behind his various abnormal behaviors. The name of this motive is rebellion. Zhu Houzhao is not a suitable person to be an emperor, because the job of an emperor is a hard job. If you want to do it well, you must work day and night, and you must learn to deal with ministers, eunuchs, and relatives around you. Too many things cannot be done. Zhu Houzhao couldn't do it, because he was just a wayward child. He is like the so-called rebel generation now, the more you ask him to do something, the less he will do it, he is not cruel, he does not kill, and he does all kinds of weird behaviors, in fact, he just wants to express a wish-to do what he wants to do. But a qualified emperor cannot do what he wants to do. So Zhu Houzhao is not a qualified emperor, nor can he be a good emperor. This is the truth behind all kinds of historical grotesques. Zhu Houzhao is just a poor man who got the wrong birth and found the wrong job. Zhu Houzhao spent his whole life fighting for it, and what he wanted was nothing more than four words-freedom. He's been working on it. In the twelfth year of Zhengde (1517), Jiachen, August, night. Zhu Houzhao tried hard to control his trembling hands. He was rarely so nervous, because soon, he was going to do an extremely risky and exciting thing, and everyone would be kept in the dark by him, including those old men who didn't understand. A military officer came to him and reminded him to get ready to go. The name of this escort was Jiang Bin, and he was the one who blocked the tiger for Zhu Houzhao back then.This matter tonight was exactly what he proposed. In the night, Zhu Houzhao galloped on his horse and rushed out of Desheng Gate. A great adventure is about to begin, and no one can stop me! Zhu Houzhao's patience with the old men has reached the limit. These rigid people always block his actions and prevent him from moving freely. However, he also understands that he cannot govern the country without these people, so he has been vacillating between compromise and rebellion . But the reason why he made up his mind to run out privately has a lot to do with the departure of one person.This person is Yang Tinghe. In the ninth year of Zhengde (1514), Yang Tinghe's father passed away. He was a dutiful son, so he asked to go home to observe his filial piety.But unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao didn't let him go. Zhu Houzhao and Yang Tinghe have always maintained a strange relationship. He dislikes Yang Tinghe because he often controls himself, but he respects Yang Tinghe more. The two have a deep relationship because Yang Tinghe is not only his teacher, but also a capable teacher. Assistant, whenever he doesn't know how to handle state affairs, he will lament: "If Mr. Yang is here, there will be no problem." But Yang Tinghe was really a dutiful son. He insisted that he must go home and observe his filial piety for three years, and Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to agree. The departure of Yang Tinghe made Zhu Houzhao lose the last shackles. In the days that followed, he often changed into ordinary people's clothes and wandered around the capital. As the scope of activities expanded, his courage became more and more bold. Finally, on this night, he decided to go to an extremely dangerous place to prove his courage. The destination he chose was outside the customs. Early the next morning, cabinet ministers Liang Chu and Jiang Mian were about to enter the palace to meet Zhu Houzhao. They were told that the emperor would not be working today, but soon they got reliable news from the palace: the emperor had run away last night! Ran? ! Liang Chu's mind was completely confused, he stared blankly at Jiang Mian, unable to utter a word.The emperor will run too?Where are you going?What are you going to do? After a while, he finally came to his senses, slapped Jiang Mian who was also stunned, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze! Quickly order the horses to be prepared, we'll go after them right away!" ancestors!Don't let anything happen to you. If there is any accident, I can't afford it! The two old men were so anxious that their tears were about to fall, they called a few followers, and rushed to chase Zhu Houzhao. Over there, he was anxious to death, but here Zhu Houzhao was in a happy mood, singing all the way, he finally felt the real freedom.Soon, they arrived in Changping, a suburb of Beijing, where Zhu Houzhao stopped and issued an order. His order was sent to Zhang Qin, the patrol censor of Juyongguan, with only one meaning: switch and let me out. This Zhang Qin was really not an ordinary person. After receiving the order, he refused to reply. Instead, he found General Sun Xi and asked him what he thought of the order. Sun Xi was also helpless. "Since the emperor has spoken, then open the door and let him go out." Zhang Qin fell silent after hearing this, Sun Xi heaved a sigh of relief, and when he was about to follow suit, he heard a loud scolding: "Absolutely not!" At this time, Zhang Qin suddenly changed a fierce face, and grabbed Sun Xi's skirt: "Brother, don't you understand, our lives are almost lost! If you don't switch, you will be disobedient. If you want to kill your head, switch on the switch. If you encounter Mongolian soldiers and make a civil engineering change, you and I You will be hacked into pieces!" Sun Xi's sweat immediately came down. "Then what do you say?" Zhang Qin firmly replied: "Never switch! Death is death, death is immortal!" So far, just do as you said. Zhu Houzhao in Changping waited until the flowers were withered, but he didn't get a reply from the switch. He sent someone to find Sun Xi, but Sun Xi pretended to be confused, and replied that Yu Shi (Zhang Qin) was here, and I dared not go away.He had no choice but to go to Zhang Qin, but Zhang Qin pretended not to know and didn't give him any answer. Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to call Liu Song, the eunuch in charge. Liu Song was very obedient, so he took a chance to pick him up secretly when he was unprepared. A man with a shiny sword in his hand. "Brother Zhang Qin, haven't you rested yet?" Zhang Qin smiled, raised the sword in his hand, and said only one sentence: "Go back! Those who leave the customs will be killed!" Zhu Houzhao was helpless, and sent another envoy to convey the order to Zhang Qin in his name: the emperor ordered that the switch be released immediately! Zhang Qin was also very straightforward, he drew his sword, pointed at the messenger and yelled: "This is fake (this fraud)!" Hearing the emissary's cry, Zhu Houzhao could only sigh with a wry smile. He just likes to play and doesn't want anyone to care about him, but the man guarding the gate is really desperate. At this moment, Liang Chu and Jiang Mian, who were out of breath, finally arrived. They looked at Zhu Houzhao up and down to see that there were no missing parts on this dear friend, so they were relieved.So I knelt down and kowtowed again, saying that we two old guys can't afford to toss about anymore, brother, you can go back with us. With the siege ahead and the pursuers behind, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was not fun anymore, so he agreed sullenly. All the people are completely relieved, those who guard the gate go back to guard the gate, those who work go back to work, and those who play go back to play. Both Liang Chu and Jiang Mian were recommended by Li Dongyang. They can be considered to have gone through the officialdom and have rich experience. It can be said that he is a rare demon king in five hundred years. After all, these two brothers were old and experienced. They figured that Zhu Houzhao would not just let it go, and sent someone to keep an eye on him, but a few days passed, and the naughty boy did nothing.They just relaxed a little bit. In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't make trouble these days, just because he was waiting for a news. Soon, Jiang Bin brought the message he wanted - Zhang Qin was out of customs for inspection. On that night, he rode out of Desheng Gate again. The next day, Jiang Mian entered the palace and was about to meet the emperor when he saw a figure running towards him. He took a closer look and found that it was Liang Chu. The old man didn't care about him, he just ran and shouted out of breath: "Run again, run again!" It's really bad luck, how could it be such a master.Don't say anything, let's go chase together brothers. Conscious of the money they owed Zhu Houzhao in their previous life, Liang Chu and Jiang Mian launched the pursuit again.But this time, they didn't catch up. Zhu Houzhao learned a lot from his mistakes, and when he arrived at Juyongguan, he didn't act rashly, but hid in a private house. After making sure that Zhang Qin was not in the checkpoint, he rushed out in one fell swoop. In order to prevent anyone from chasing him, he specially arranged for his personal eunuch Gu Da Hold the pass and don't allow anyone to come after you. Zhang Qin and the ministers came afterwards, but they could only look at Guan and sigh. So far, Zhu Houzhao fought wits and courage, and after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, he finally escaped from prison successfully. This is a famous escape in history, and its popularity is comparable to that of Wu Zixu's escape. In many people's eyes, this fully reflects Zhu Houzhao's incompetence, incompetence, lack of business, and nothing to do when he is full. In a word, He is an incorrigible fool. But many people have overlooked such a detail: he avoided Zhang Qin. How can I get out?The answer is simple, kill Zhang Qin to exit the level. In fact, with his power, it is very easy to kill a censor, and he, who had expelled ministers and killed eunuchs, had already realized the power in his hands, but he did not do so, but chose to avoid it. Why? Because he was sensible, he knew that Zhang Qin was not wrong, nor were Liang Chu and Jiang Mian who were chasing him, it was only him who was wrong. He understands the rules of being an emperor, and basically accepts this rule, but he really can't follow this rule, he just wants to play freely. So he chose to take advantage of the loopholes and play hide-and-seek with the ministers. The endless plains, the bleak sky, the whistling wind constantly came from his ears, and the unfamiliar environment and scenery reminded him that this place was already outside Juyong Pass, where Mongolian soldiers often haunted, and it was an extremely dangerous place. However, Zhu Houzhao was excited, because this is exactly what he wanted, a wish buried in his heart for many years will be realized here. In fact, the reason why Zhu Houzhao was so persistent and persevered in leaving Juyongguan was largely because he wanted to do one thing and meet someone. The title of this person in "History of Ming Dynasty" is called Little Prince.
