Chapter 98 Clear Zhu Houzhao’s name! Meet Wang Yangming for the first time!(1/2)
In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, there were a total of sixteen emperors, two of whom died due to falling into the water.
Regardless of the facts, at least this is what historical data records.
This ratio accounts for an astonishing one-eighth!
Among them, Emperor Zhengde Wuzong Zhu Houzhao fell into the water twice in succession for the first time. The first time was fishing in Kuaiyuan, Nanjing, Yingtian, and the second time was in Qingjiangpu.
If the first time can be explained as an accident, then the second time is also an accident?
Ordinary people don't have so many surprises, let alone the emperor who always has a large group of attendants. If Zhu Houzhao buys a lottery ticket, he can win five million.
All the eunuchs around the emperor grew up eating food? Didn't protective measures be strengthened after falling into the water for the first time? And Wu Zong was a strong man, and he didn't feel dizzy and low in blood sugar, so he fell into the water easily?
Unbelievable.
Moreover, Zhu Houzhao died half a year after falling into the water for the second time, and in the end he was able to attribute the cause to the falling into the water incident half a year ago.
Do you believe it?
I don’t believe it anyway.
Emperor Wu Zong was strong and practiced martial arts since he was a child. He could mount a horse and kill people, dismount his horse and be able to kill people all night long. He could even go to the battlefield to kill people. He was just in the prime of life. Not to mention falling into the water, even if he was soaked in the water
For three days and three nights, I crawled out and drank some traditional Chinese medicine to dispel the cold. After sleeping for three to five days, the cliff was full of life again.
Every time Ji Boying saw this paragraph, he admired these civil servants of the Zhengde Dynasty very much. They were really talking nonsense without drafting.
Among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, apart from Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, Zhu Houzhao was the emperor with the most rebellious spirit.
He devoted his life to suppressing civil servants, promoting the status of generals, developing international trade, centralizing imperial power, and regaining military power as the emperor. At the same time, he carried out internal reforms, anti-corruption, tax reductions, civil servant assessments, and increased commercial taxes.
Any of these are things that only a promising man would do.
If he really wants to play, then the civil servants will be happy for him.
For example, Zhu Houzhao changed his name to Zhu Shou and gave himself the title of mighty general. This episode was written as a joke in history books, and it was even quoted as a funny story in many popular science books of the Ming Dynasty.
The question is, is it really funny?
Since the Tumu Fort Incident, when Yu Qian used civil servants to control the army, the Emperor of Heaven lost the opportunity to personally command the army, and the leadership of the imperial army has always been in the hands of civil servants.
From then on, whenever the emperor wanted to personally take over the military power, the civil servants would use the lessons of the Tumubao Incident to fight back, because the Baozong's record was so brilliant that later Ming emperors simply could not win in this matter.
.
Pig's Head: You guys are so talkative, it's none of my business.
So Zhu Houzhao changed his skin, named himself a general, and used his identity as a general to control the military. Although this thing sounds absurd, it is in line with the process.
Since you don’t allow the emperor to lead troops, then the general can always lead troops, right?!
As long as the procedures are followed, civil servants cannot resist! Zhu Houzhao can hold military power!
Use the simplest, most absurd, most cost-effective, and most clever method to solve the problem that should be solved.
But for such an emperor, who would have been able to truly revive the Ming Dynasty if he had lived twenty more years, the civil servants had only written about him in the history books, including the Leopard Palace, visiting brothels, and liking other people's wives. He looked like a debauched person.
The fatuous lord.
In particular, some historical science books do not check historical data at all, and do not mention Zhu Houzhao's positive side at all.
The reason is also simple, because positive content does not attract traffic, while negative and absurd topics attract people's interest.
For example, a book evaluates Zhu Houzhao as: a child who never grows up, is born into the wrong imperial family, is mediocre but not cruel.
At that time Ji Boying closed the book and it was really a stupid trick to swindle money.
Zhu Houzhao did have many bad habits that were criticized by later generations, such as liking other people's wives, which was the same as Boss Cao, but his ambitions and actions as emperor throughout his life cannot be denied.
Judge from the emperor’s perspective.
Ji Boying gave his own evaluation of Emperor Wuzong: Zhu Houzhao was a talented and ambitious emperor who had the potential to become an emperor with unrivaled achievements.
"Free time for an hour."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and other emperors and princes, then walked down from the podium and walked along the mahogany stairs to the private room on the top of the pavilion.
Before going to Zhengde time and space, he needs to spend some time recalling the events of Zhengde Dynasty.
"Brother, what happened?"
Lao Zhu stood up subconsciously and frowned as he looked at Ji Boying's back walking upstairs.
"Father, the matter of the Immortal Master must be related to Tianque. How can we understand it? There is no need to ask more, so as not to displease the Immortal Master. It is better to wait here for the Immortal Master to come back."
Zhu Biao spoke repeatedly and grabbed Lao Zhu, who was about to follow.
Lao Zhu paused slightly, remained silent for a moment, and nodded.
Then he glanced at the other emperors and princes.
"You all should learn from us and think carefully. If you continue to be ignorant like today and make your brother unhappy, don't blame me for whipping you!"
Lao Zhu shouted sharply.
Ji Boying disappeared for half a year, and he was really scared. He was really afraid that one day Ji Boying would be unhappy, and his bones would all turn into ashes after a hundred years.
This group of emperors and princes were originally thinking about why the immortal master suddenly stopped teaching. However, they were shocked by Lao Zhu's words and began to think carefully about the content of the class just now.
But I was stupefied by this thought, because I found that I had almost forgotten it. I was just so excited when I was listening to the class.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is what I just wrote, recording every word the master just said."
The stenographer Lianxiang came up at the right time and presented a few pieces of rice paper in her hand.
A Biao took it first and took a quick look at it. He was particularly amazed. The font on it was neat and graceful, and the records could be said to be word for word.
At this moment, all the emperors and princes looked at Lianxiang, as if they were looking at the Virgin Mary.
At this time, the elegant room on the top of the pavilion.
Ji Boying sat by the window and lit a cigarette. He planned to use a cigarette to quickly review the life of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao before going to Zhengde Time and Space.

Putting your hands on the window eaves, you can see the burning cigarette and the white smoke floating in the air.
‘The death of Zhengde is too suspicious.’
Especially two months before Zhu Houzhao's death, historical records clearly record that Zhu Houzhao strongly requested the replacement of the imperial physician, and even issued an order to the cabinet, asking the cabinet to find famous doctors from the private sector for him.
However, this decree from His Majesty the Emperor was actually rejected by Yang Ting, Chief Minister of the Cabinet, and the medical skills of Etai Hospital are the best in the world, and Your Majesty the Emperor's illness is not serious and you only need to be nursed back to health.
p>
Yang Tinghe's original reply was as follows: All the famous doctors in the world gathered in the imperial hospital, and the best ones were selected to be admitted to the imperial pharmacy. However, if they should be full-time and trustworthy, and reap the perfect results, why should they treat those who have never tried it?
In the treatment of diseases, the most important thing is to adjust and regulate the intake, followed by medicine. If the adjustment and intake are rarely irregular, the medicine will not be effective. I hope that the emperor will carefully restart the treatment and avoid overwork. It is better to adjust the diet and not to overdo the taste.
There shouldn’t be too many tricks.
You, Yang Tinghe, are not a medical student, how do you know whether the emperor’s illness can be cured?!
There is only one reason that can be explained. The chief minister of the cabinet, or the entire civil servant group, does not want to see Zhu Houzhao recover from his illness.
Taking a step back, even if there is nothing wrong with Yang Tinghe and the civil service group, Zhu Houzhao is the emperor. The emperor wants to find a doctor from among the people and orders the cabinet to do it. You can just take the imperial edict and do it. I want you to
So much nagging? It’s none of your business?!
And this matter is very troublesome for you, Yang Tinghe? It’s just a matter of words.
But Yang Tinghe refused, not even leaving any room for discussion with Zhu Houzhao.
It can also be seen from this incident that after Zhu Houzhao became seriously ill, especially in the two months before his death, the civil servants headed by Yang Tinghe had blatantly ignored the imperial power. The emperor even had no authority to change his own doctor.
Deprivation.
And there is one thing that is enough to prove that there was something wrong with the Imperial Hospital during the Zhengde Dynasty.
First, the imperial doctors who treated Zhu Houzhao died inexplicably.
The second is the Jiajing Immortal’s attitude towards Taiyuan Hospital.
After Yang Tinghe made a fool of himself and elected Zhu Houcong, the evil and evil man, as the next Ming emperor, and after Jiajing ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to clean up the Taiyuan Hospital, confiscating the troops and distributing the troops.
And in the following Jiajing years, the Jiajing Immortals destroyed Tai Hospital many times.
Imperial medicine in those days was a high-risk profession. If you were not careful, your home would be confiscated and your whole family would be exiled.
If there is no problem in Taiyuan Hospital, why did Jiajing Immortal do this?
If you look at the three generations of emperors from Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing from the perspective of conspiracy theories from the Taiyuan Hospital, you will find it very strange.
Xiaozong Hongzhi did not have any bad habits. Although he was diligent, he went to bed early and got up early. His work and rest routine was definitely easier than that of 007, but he died in his thirties.
Wu Zongzhengde was famous for his strong body since he was a child. He could even chase death and ride thousands of miles north, but he died in his thirties.
And the Jiajing Immortal took heavy metal elixirs every day and had various bad habits, but he lived to be sixty. How is it possible?
However, the life of the Jiajing Immortal was not so stable. First, there was a fire in the palace, but no one rescued him. Fortunately, little Lu Bing was found, and then the incident of the palace maid Renyin happened. Fortunately, he could not tie the knot.
I don’t know about the others that have not been recorded in history books, but they are probably indispensable.
Of course, the imperial doctors at Taiyuan Hospital do not have the guts to be emperor, nor do they have the need.
To be continued...
