How did Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty practice Buddhism in history?
Emperor Jiajing was superstitious about prescription. He sent people to collect Ganoderma lucidum everywhere and often swallowed the Dan medicine refined by Taoist priests. In order to satisfy his self-cultivation, Emperor Jiajing selected hundreds of women into the palace several times. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing (1542), in order to prolong life, Emperor Jiajing ordered maids to collect nectar and ginseng juice in the morning, which caused hundreds of maids to fall ill. The ladies-in-waiting could not bear it, and the ladies-in-waiting headed by Yang almost strangled Emperor Jiajing. This is the "change of Renyin Palace" which is rare in history. Especially after the "Renyin Palace Change", I was lucky not to die. From then on, he moved to Xiyuan, set up an alchemist, superstitious about Taoist heresy and kept in good health. I haven't returned to ouchi for more than 20 years, and the law and order are gradually relaxed. In addition, a large number of palaces and temples have been built inside and outside the palace, which has increased the burden on the people and made the national financial crisis more and more serious.

Emperor Jiajing appointed a Taoist priest, wrote his thoughts on paper, and then let the Taoist priest burn them in an attempt to let the immortals know his thoughts. There was a Taoist named Landaoxing who hated treacherous court official Yan Song the most in his life. He took this opportunity to convey to Emperor Jiajing the words "Treacherous court official is like Yan Song, loyal court official is like Xu Jie", which eventually led to the downfall of the powerful minister Yan Song, and Yan Song was the favorite courtier before Emperor Jiajing, and Landaoxing also took this opportunity to board the Ming Dynasty.
