Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 183 Zhu Changluo, Emperor Taichang: You exchange two (please vote!)

In Taichang time and space, the night is peaceful.

Only the sound of thunder resounded throughout the world.

However, for the time and space of Taichang during the autumn rain, this thunder and gust of wind were all dispersed in the majestic heavy rain and did not attract much attention.

Along with the thunder, Ji Boying appeared in Dongnuan Pavilion.

The man stood half a foot away from the couch, calmly looking at Emperor Taichang who was lying on the imperial couch, breathing no more.

Judging from the appearance and facial features, Emperor Taichang is very different from Zhu Changluo, the Crown Prince of Wanli Spacetime. After all, the two are from the same space and time, but their complexions are very different.

The crown prince who supervises the country in Wanli time and space is in the midst of the spring breeze, and his complexion is rosy and shiny.

As for the person in Taichang Time and Space, he was half-dead and looked like he might ascend to heaven at any time.

Ji Boying's appearance did not attract Emperor Taichang's attention. After all, this guy was breathing his last breath at this moment. He was just staring at the ceiling in a daze. Looking back on his past 39 years, he felt very sad.

At this moment, all the eunuchs in Nuan Pavilion also retreated. The January Emperor obviously wanted to be quiet, but he didn't know if Jingjing was born now.

According to the original historical process.

In a few days, the famous red pill will be officially launched.

'Whoever benefits is the mastermind. '

Based on this principle of criminal logic.

Ji Boying stared at the half-dead Emperor Taichang, frowning slightly, thinking about the death of Emperor Taichang.

There is a high probability that even if Emperor Taichang were asked now, he himself would not know what was going on.

At least judging from the process recorded in history books, Emperor Taichang himself was confused throughout the whole process, and he was simply a tragic political victim.

And if you want to analyze who benefits, you have to start with the analysis of the court situation at the end of Wanli.

The court in the late Wanli period was roughly divided into three forces.

The first group consists of five parties (Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Kun Party, Xuan Party and Chu Party) headed by Zhejiang Party.

The second group represents the Donglin Party of the Jiangnan Jin gentry.

The third group, Concubine Zheng (Fu Wang’s mother), can also be called the Fu Wang Party.

Among them, the Five Parties are relatively close to the Fuwang Party, and they are considered a relatively loose political alliance, while the Donglin Party has been suppressed by the other two parties for a long time.

This can be clearly seen from the fact that the chief minister of the cabinet in the late Wanli period was Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Zhejiang Party.

Lao Wanli is not stupid, and he is like a mirror in his heart.

He knew that most of the list of replacement officials submitted by Fang Congzhe were from the Five Parties. If they were all approved, the white-collar workers' own money would not be taken into account, and the Five Parties would dominate the DPRK and China.

The power struggle between the three factions can be traced back to the first of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, which was the case of the attack that occurred in the 43rd year of Wanli.

The general story of the attack case is as follows: A "martial arts master" named Zhang Cha, I don't know how this guy managed to break through the tight defense of the palace silently. Putting aside the force, in terms of this light skill , at least at the level of Pirate Saint Bai Zhantang.

Zhang Zhantang held a wooden stick and single-handedly forced his way into Ciqing Palace where the Crown Prince lived. He was invincible and unstoppable. He actually reached the front hall of the Crown Prince and almost had a duel with the Crown Prince. In the end, he was captured by Han Benyong, the prince's chamberlain, in the front hall.

Emperor Wanli learned that Lei Lei was furious and ordered the imperial censor and the Ministry of Justice to interrogate him.

During the interrogation, when Zhang Piosheng confessed that he was ordered by Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, the eunuchs of Concubine Zheng, Emperor Wanli suddenly changed his attitude.

The final result: Zhang Cha was executed, and Pang Bao and Liu Cheng were executed by secret orders of Lao Wanli. After the clues were cut off, the whole case could not be investigated, and the assassination case finally ended like this.

There are different opinions about this assassination case. Some say that Concubine Zheng wanted to kill Zhu Changluo to pave the way for her son Zhu Changxun. Others say that it was Zhu Changluo's elaborate plan to protect his position as prince.

To analyze this assault case, the first thing to determine is, who is the final beneficiary behind this assault case?
Judging from the current results, it is obviously Zhu Changluo and the Donglin Party in the DPRK who supported him.

Let’s look at the last case among the three major cases, which is the palace transfer case.

The general process of the palace transfer case is as follows: After the death of Emperor Taichang, Xi Li, who had a good relationship with Concubine Zheng and was favored by Emperor Taichang, teamed up with Wei Zhongxian to seize and tie Zhu Youxiao and wanted to live together in Qianqing Palace. This controls the government.

The Lin Party in the DPRK was furious, but the five parties headed by Fang Congzhe made no move, as if they acquiesced in Xi Li's selection of servants.

Yang Lian, Liu Yishui and other Donglin Party members forcibly broke into the Forbidden City. Carrying the sticks of the eunuchs, they rushed into the Qianqing Palace crying. Under the internal support of the eunuch Wang An, the eunuch Bingbi, they finally killed Zhu Youxiao robbed the Qianqing Palace and sent him to the Wenhua Palace to ascend the throne.

The final result: Li Xuanshi was forced to leave the Qianqing Palace with the eighth daughter of the emperor, failed to take power, and then the Donglin Party won a complete victory, and continued to be reused. The Donglin Party rose in the early years of the Apocalypse.

Combining the two cases of the assault case and the palace transfer case, let's look at the most critical Red Pill case sandwiched in the middle.

Before that, let’s make something clear first.

Since the Donglin Party was officially named in the 38th year of Wanli, in the late Wanli period, the Donglin Party was the absolute princeling party. At that time, they fought to dismiss more than 100 people from office, and they also tried their best to keep Zhu Changluo's position as prince.

After Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, he immediately recalled Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party, and a group of cabinet ministers and six ministries promoted to fill the vacancies. Most of them were Donglin Party members, and Fang Congzhe was directly provoked.

In addition, the Donglin Party has always adhered to the principle of "people who are not our party can be punished".

As long as the Donglin Party takes power, all other parties in the court will inevitably be destroyed one by one. Suddenly, everyone is in danger, and the Five Party and the Fuwang Party are suppressed in the court.

At this time, Emperor Taichang suddenly passed away, and the palace transfer case occurred. The Donglin Party was like ants in a hot pot, while the Five Party and the Fuwang Party sat back and watched Xi Li seize power without doing anything.
After figuring this out.

Then, let’s finally look at the details of the Red Pill case.

（1）登基之日，箭步如风——（2）郑贵妃进献八位美姬——（3）泰昌帝龙御数夜，气血亏空——（4）郑贵妃亲信崔文升开泻药给泰昌帝治病，泰昌帝一天泻腹43次——（5）鸿胪寺丞李可灼献上红丸——一颗红光泛发——（6）两颗见了太祖。

It can be known from (1) that when Emperor Taichang first ascended the throne, he was still in a state of vitality and vigor, with no symptoms at all. This fact is also clearly remembered in the history books.

Subsequently, it was inferred from (2) (3) (4) that the murder suspicion was obviously directed at Concubine Zheng.

But here comes the problem.

If Emperor Taichang dies, will the Fu Wang Party headed by Concubine Zheng benefit?
No matter which angle you analyze it from, you will get an answer, no.

Because according to the ancestral inheritance system, Emperor Taichang had more than one son, and these sons were all over ten years old.

Therefore, even if Emperor Taichang dies, the throne will never go to King Fu Zhu Changxun no matter what. As long as the throne is still in Zhu Changluo's lineage, it is impossible for King Fu's party to rise in the court.

Looking at (5) (6) again, this is the final process of the red pill case. The focus is mainly on Li Kezhuo, the person who presented the red pill.

Regarding Li Kezhuo, there are several questions:
1. Why did Fang Congzhe first strongly recommend Li Kezhuo to Emperor Taichang, and then persuaded Emperor Taichang not to take the red pill? This action was filled with extremely obvious formalism.

2. Li Kezhuo was promoted by Fang Congzhe. Taking advantage of Emperor Taichang's order to replace officials, Li Kezhuo was promoted to the position of Prime Minister of Honglu Temple.

3. After Emperor Taichang died after taking red pills, why did Fang Congzhe reward Li Kezhuo in his will.

4. In the second year of Tianqi, after Emperor Tianqi came to power, Li Kezhuo was exiled by Emperor Tianqi.

5. What exactly is red pill?
Finally, let’s make a what-if.

If Emperor Taichang dies due to Hongwan and Xili succeeds in taking power during the palace transfer case, who will be the beneficiary?
Obviously, if this process continues, the Donglin Party will eventually be wiped out, and the Five Parties will occupy the court.

Ji Boying's mind flashed through the content of these party disputes.

Ming Dynasty died due to party strife, and what he said is true.

Judging from these inferences, it is very likely that the death of Taichang was caused by the five parties uniting with the Fuwang Party and reaching some common political demands. In order to control the government and destroy Donglin, Emperor Taichang was sacrificed.

of course.

Here, it’s not about how good the Donglin Party is.

When it was founded, the Donglin Party was quite conscientious, but in the later stages of the Apocalypse and when the Donglin Party became more powerful, these Jiangnan gentry began to act like monsters.

First of all, he blindly engages in regional discrimination in the court, not to mention that everyone who is not my Donglin will be expelled.

Then, he began to make a lot of demands to the emperor.

In the end, it was even worse, and it was also regarded as one of the reasons for Ming's death.

The Donglin Party actually blatantly cut commercial taxes, and the largest commercial tax base in the Ming Dynasty was Jiangnan.As a result, the south of the Yangtze River was prosperous, and the wealthy gentry were all full of fat, but the court could not collect even a cent of commercial tax.

To put it bluntly, these Donglin Party members do not want to pay taxes to the court, and they are all greedy people.

Although Emperor Tianqi was a carpenter, he was more or less a wise man.

The Donglin Party was reused from the very beginning. After discovering that these Donglin Party members were starting to lose their jobs, Wei Zhongxian was immediately introduced and Wei Laogou was used to suppress the Donglin Party. The five parties headed by the Zhejiang Party also invested in Wei Laogou. Under his command.

Then, under the crazy suppression of the Donglin Party by the 'Eunuch Party', they then forcibly levied commercial taxes in Jiangnan. Only then did the taxes in Jiangnan slowly begin to be collected, and the national treasury had some money to store food.

Can be biased.

On the eve of the dawn of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Tianqi is easily soluble in water.

Immediately afterwards, Chongzhen was deceived by the Donglin Party. He really believed it and returned to before liberation overnight.

The Donglin Party has completely risen, Jiangnan's taxes can no longer be collected, and the national treasury is so poor that it can't even afford the pearl, jade and white jade soup.

"God, God, God's will..."

On the imperial couch.

Emperor Taichang looked at the ceiling and murmured feebly.

He could even imagine how many jokes he, the Emperor of January, would leave for future generations.

"Want to live?"

A voice sounded in the Nuan Pavilion.

The moment he finished speaking, Emperor Taichang, who was lying on the imperial couch, suddenly looked stunned. He turned his head to look with difficulty, and saw a figure that he had never seen before came into his eyes.

"You, you...are you?"

Weak and confused.

"If you want to live, just listen to me."

Ji Boying stood calmly on the spot, staring at Emperor Taichang on the bed.

This red pill case must be thoroughly understood.

The best way is to let Emperor Taichang continue according to the original historical script.

Then after the death of Emperor Taichang, I saw with my own eyes the changes in the situation of the court.

As soon as a person dies, all kinds of monsters and monsters will appear, and Ji Boying's speculations about the Hongwan case can be verified.

Of course, for the sake of Emperor Taichang's life, Emperor Taichang could not be allowed to be in danger again, and he had to find someone to take his place.

"I, why should I believe you?"

Emperor Taichang stared at Ji Boying.

In fact.

He already believed it in his heart.

After all, in the original history, Emperor Taichang had already chosen to break the jar and knock down the red pill whenever he caught it.

Swish.

A figure suddenly appeared next to Ji Boying.

Emperor Taichang, who was lying on the royal couch, saw this figure, especially the face, and his pupils shrank sharply.

It was obvious that he looked in the mirror often enough to know what he looked like.

"This, this, this..."

Beside Ji Boying, Zhu Changluo, who was suddenly summoned from Wanli time and space, appeared with a confused look on his face. When he saw 'himself' on the royal couch, his pupils shrank sharply and he took two steps back.

"Master Immortal, this, this..."

The two Zhu Changluo looked at each other, speechless. Neither of them could say a complete sentence for a long time.

"You guys, change it."

change?
Hearing this, both of them were stunned. How to change this?Change yourself?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zheng and Attendant Li Xuan have an audience outside."

At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

Zhu Changluo, who was lying on the royal couch, suddenly showed a look of pain when he heard these two names.

During the days after he collapsed and fell completely ill, he was tortured to death by these two women and could not even get a good night's sleep.

Of these two women, one was Emperor Wanli's favorite concubine, and the other was Emperor Taichang's favorite concubine.

After Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, the two women somehow got together and complimented each other.

Concubine Zheng requested that Xi Li be made empress, while Xi Li requested that Concubine Zheng be made empress dowager.

Emperor Taichang was so upset that he finally chose to go to court even though he was ill, and convened the officials to discuss the canonization. The Ministry of Rites refused to agree to the canonization of the queen, and reluctantly agreed to canonize Xi Li as the imperial concubine. However, Xi Li refused. , determined to be the queen, actually walked out from behind the curtain and made a lot of noise, making the whole court restless.

Moreover, this Xi Li once did an extremely tough thing, that is, in the 47th year of Wanli, he beat and humiliated Wang Cairen, the biological mother of Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao, to death.

After the incident, Xili did not receive any punishment from Zhu Changluo, but instead obtained custody of Zhu Youxiao.

Thinking with his feet at this moment, Emperor Taichang could guess what these two women were doing.

"Well, change."

Ji Boying said lightly.

Move with one thought.

In an instant.

Emperor Taichang who was on the sick bed disappeared instantly, and was taken back to Hongwu time and space by Ji Boying for treatment.

"Master Immortal, this, this..."

Wanli Zhu Changluo looked at the empty imperial couch, confused and a little at a loss.

"Wouldn't it be nice to let you enjoy the emperor's addiction in advance?"

Ji Boying glanced at Wanli Zhu Changluo. Aren't you happy that your kid has entered the role in advance?Can you make some progress?
"what?"

"good good good good."

Zhu Changluo nodded quickly, and then sat on the imperial couch a little unfamiliar and nervous.

After all, in the past, every time I saw my father sitting on it, I could only kneel next to him.

Well, King Fu is standing.

"Xuan."

Zhu Changluo said something.

The door of Dongnuan Pavilion was pushed open with a creaking sound.

Ji Boying stood calmly on one side. He also wanted to see what the two most powerful women in the Wanli and Taichang dynasties were like.

Explore the depth and try the length.
