Emperor Sejong of the Ming Dynasty (1507 ~ 1566), emperor of the Ming Dynasty, surnamed Zhu, with a thick name. 152 1- 1566 is king. Xianzong's grandson, Xing Zhu Youdi's eldest son and mother Jiang.

Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, his political skills may not be as good as Yuan Zhang's, as absurd as Wu Hou Zhao's and as cruel as Wu Hou Zhao's. However, his absurdity, arrogance, cruelty and love of playing politics were entrusted to him.

The description of Emperor Jiajing

In the sixteenth year of Wu Zongzheng's reign (152 1), he ascended the throne in April and changed his name to Jiajing. At the beginning of the throne, the first dynasty was abolished, and the dynasty was one of the new dynasties. However, there was a dispute with Yang Tinghe and other courtiers on the issue of sealing the king. History is called the "big etiquette" dispute. He attacked the old courtiers, the royal family and the forces of honor and loyalty, took charge of internal affairs and foreign affairs, and the imperial power was highly concentrated. He also attached importance to the role of the cabinet and the power of eunuchs. But at the same time, he became increasingly decadent. He not only abused the people's strength to build great projects, but also superstitious alchemists and respected Taoism. Twenty-one years later, he moved to Xiyuan (now Beijing Beihai and Zhongnanhai). He is bent on metaphysics and seeks a long life every day. He didn't ask about state affairs. He recorded that Yan Song was a special country for 20 years, engulfing the army, corrupting bureaucrats and neglecting border affairs. The Japanese army frequently invaded the southeast coastal areas, causing great damage. To the north of the Great Wall, Anda Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Tatar Department, constantly invaded the border, and in 29 years, he even went to the gates of Beijing and plundered it. During the Jiajing period, it was always a catastrophe for the Ming Dynasty. In employing people, Sejong was "ignorant and wise" and "negligent in merits and demerits", and many heroes were killed and humiliated. Harry, the head of the household department, went to the "public security", and Sejong was furious and went to prison. After his death, he was buried in the "Yongling" of the Ming Tombs in Beijing, and he was called "Qin Tiandi's life, British instrument and Holy Spirit, Xuan, Wu Daxiao".

Emperor Jiajing is the cousin of Emperor Zhengde and has nothing to do with the throne. His father Xing is hongzhi emperor's younger brother, so he settled in Shanghai. Emperor Zhengde, the only son of hongzhi emperor, died young at the age of 3 1 and was childless. The country can't live without a monarch for a day, so Zhu Hou, who was only 15 years old at that time, rushed to Beijing to succeed him (152 1 year), and was appointed as Emperor Jiajing of Yuan Dynasty the following year. From the age of 16 to his death at the age of 60, Emperor Jiajing reigned for 45 years and was the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

The belief of Emperor Jiajing

Emperor Jiajing admired Taoism and ghosts and gods, and enjoyed it all his life, which was closely related to the environment in which he grew up. Jingchu is the source of Taoism, and Emperor Jiajing's parents also admire Taoism, so their influence on Emperor Jiajing is self-evident. Emperor Jiajing had a strong personality, and most of the things he believed in were hard to change. Not only did he believe in Taoism himself, but after he became emperor, all officials should respect Taoism. Those who respect the Tao will be promoted and made rich. Those who dare to remonstrate are lightly demoted to the people, imprisoned in cangue, or died on the spot. When Emperor Jiajing was a Taoist priest, Shao, Tao and other officials were ministers of rites, and Tao also held several positions, which was unprecedented in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Taoist names are: Ling Xiaoqing, Miao Yifei, Zhen Jun Xuan in Yuanyang, Tong Lei, Zhang Yin, a Puji creature in JiuTian Hong Corner, Yang Gongdao, Shiren, Ji Zi Xian Weng, Yang Yizhenyuan, Emperor Mo Zhongxiao in Kaihua Mansion, Emperor Zhao Ling Tongyuan in Tianluo Tianxian, Emperor Zhang Wulei, Da Zhen Xuan, and Emperor Jing Wanshou.

Emperor Jiajing was superstitious about prescription.

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 monasticism and lust, Emperor Jiajing selected hundreds of ordinary women to enter 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 couldn't bear it, and almost strangled Jiajing Emperor. This is a rare "Renyin Palace Change" in the history of regicide.

A brief introduction to the life of Emperor Jiajing

Zhu Houzong, the only son of Xing Wang Zhu Youjue, was very clever when he was a child. He taught himself the history of books, the Book of Filial Piety, the university and the way of governing the country by self-cultivation. He emphasizes etiquette and sticks to his own opinions when things go wrong. Before his mother and son entered the palace, they had two disputes with does. After he ascended the throne, he clashed with the Ministry of Rites and many courtiers on how to honor his parents, which was called "big gift" in history. After more than two years of argument, Zhu Houzong's wish has finally come true. These things fully exposed Zhu Houzong's overbearing and tyrannical character in his youth.

At the beginning of Zhu Houzong's administration, he made some achievements in national affairs. In addition to taking routine measures such as amnesty, exemption from service, reduction of tribute and disaster relief, he also reversed the situation that the prison has abused power and corrupted the state affairs since the establishment of orthodoxy, and ordered to clean up the farmland, saying, "Don't ask the royal family for help, take what is excessive and redundant, and return it to the people." However, this good governance did not last long. A year later, "Ten Gradually" appeared. Especially after the "Renyin Palace Change", they were terrified out of their wits, hiding in the West Garden, setting up alchemists, superstitious about the heresy of several Taoist priests, keeping in good health and practicing monasticism, and dared not return to ouchi for more than 20 years, leaving Yan Song, a corrupt and perverted record, in chaos for 20 years, which led to constant harassment in northern Mongolia, and knowledgeable officials were unable to contribute to the country, or even slaughtered. 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.

In the 45th year of Jiajing (1566), Zhu Houzong died of illness at Gan Qing Palace on December 14th at the age of 60. Qin Qing, Tian Dao, Ying Yi, Holy Spirit, Xuan, Wu and Di. Temple number sejong. Buried in Yongling, Changping, Beijing.

Renyin Palace Change: Maid-in-waiting Murders Emperor Jiajing

Gan Qing Palace was the bedroom of the Ming emperor. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the maid-in-waiting killed the emperor here. Emperor Jiajing always recruited some girls between the ages of 10 and 13 in the name of draft girls, and committed atrocities against these virgins in order to live forever. Emperor Jiajing lived in Gan Qing Palace, where there were 24 beds in the West Warm Pavilion. On the one hand, he has to change a bed every day for safety reasons, and at the same time, he can occupy many concubines, wives or maids at will, so it is difficult to ensure the personal safety of the maids. At the same time, there were many concubines of Emperor Jiajing, who did not live with the emperor for a long time in the harem and were very depressed.

One night in the late spring and early summer of A.D. 1542, the ladies-in-waiting who could not bear the torture of Emperor Jiajing plotted to strangle the cruel emperor. Emperor Jiajing slept in the West Warm Pavilion of the Qing Palace. Maid-in-waiting Yang led a dozen young maids and two concubines into the emperor's bedroom. "Let's get started! It's better than dying at his hands! " Some of them covered their faces, some pressed their legs, some pulled their arms, and some put ropes around Emperor Jiajing's neck and pulled them hard. Due to a moment of panic, the rope formed a dead button and could not be tightened. Emperor Jiajing was strangled, but not dead. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two concubines left the other maids and reported to the queen, hoping to be forgiven. The queen immediately took people to save the dying Emperor Jiajing.

The furious Emperor Jiajing was murdered. More than a dozen ladies-in-waiting and two concubines who reported to the queen were amputated, their throats cut and executed in 2006. And1000 people died of injustice. Later, Emperor Jiajing moved out of Gan Qing Palace and lived in Xiyuan Wanshou Palace, where he practiced monasticism all day long to live longer. More than 20 years later, he returned to Gan Qing Palace before his death.
