Jiajing has no intention of governing the country. He is most concerned about only two things, or two problems. One is how to live as long as possible, the other is how to play with women as much as possible. As long as he can achieve these two goals, he will bet the whole empire at all costs.
Taoist priests are said to help Jiajing realize his "ideal". Because Taoism advocates immortality, even soaring, and "one person gets the Tao, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Even better, an organic and important part of Taoism's "way of keeping in good health" is the so-called "house art". According to Shao, Tao and others, the Taoist priests favored by Emperor Jiajing, there is no need for abstinence in keeping in good health. On the contrary, if you master the indoor occult arts and have sex with virgins many times, you can also nourish yin and yang and prolong life. This is really too appetizing for Jiajing. For him, longevity is important, but if you must abstain from sex, what's the point of living for so long? It's okay now. Indulgence and health preservation can go hand in hand and complement each other, which really makes the emperor be elated.
However, this kind of "taking yin to replenish yang", which takes a girl as an alchemist, is tantamount to physical and mental destruction for women. Besides, the ladies-in-waiting have to get up at dawn to collect nectar for Jiajing to drink at sunrise. It is also necessary to provide Jiajing with menstrual blood at menarche for her alchemy. This "Hongdan Pill" made of menstrual blood, Chinese herbal medicine and minerals is actually an aphrodisiac, which contains sex hormones extracted from human urine (of course, the urine of boys and girls). After Jiajing took it, he would vent his animal desires on these girls. This was the last straw, and finally in the twenty-first year of Jiajing (AD 1542), the "Renyin Palace Change" took place. 1On the evening of October 20th, more than ten maids-in-waiting, led by Yang and Xing Cuilian, decided to murder Jiajing and strangle him alive in bed with yellow silk. We know that the rebellion is to destroy the nine clans. Killing a king is also a punishment. Therefore, even if many officials or generals are in power, they dare not move this idea easily, let alone unarmed weak women? It is not difficult to imagine that if Jiajing was not too dissolute and violent, they would certainly not take risks.
The ladies-in-waiting who murdered the emperor were all executed that year, but Jiajing also had an excuse and never returned to ouchi. The emperor doesn't live in the palace, so he naturally doesn't go to court. So he set up camp in Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan, built a temple and became a Taoist.
