The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 638: January Emperor Zhu Changluo
Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky with some anticipation.

"From what I hear..."

"Could it be that someone is going to appear and turn the tide?!"

……

[On August 22, the censors impeached Fang Congzhe for not dissuading Zhu Changluo from using the wrong prescription. In particular, Yang Lian, the imperial secretary, pointed the finger at Cui Wensheng with fierce words.]

[The reason was that on the tenth day of the eighth month, Zhu Changluo fell ill due to excessive sexual indulgence. On the fourteenth day, he took the laxative medicine given by Cui Wensheng, the secretary of the Imperial Household Department, and went to the toilet thirty or forty times a day, so he could not get out of bed.]

[On the 22nd, the Jinyiwei summoned Yang Lian to the palace. People suspected that Zhu Changluo wanted to beat Yang Lian in court, but the emperor looked at Yang Lian for a long time and said, "The affairs of the state are important. You should do your best. I will pay more attention to the management."]

[On the 25th, Zhu Changluo summoned all the ministers and ordered the eldest son Zhu Youxiao and the fifth son Zhu Youjian to meet with the ministers.]

……

Ming Dynasty - Tianqi Period
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian with unfriendly eyes.

"So, you're saying this thing in the sky has been down for three days?!"

"I have no idea!"

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground and stumbled:
"Your Majesty...I, your servant, have looked for Your Majesty several times...but...but...you just won't open the palace gate."

"And also told the old servant to stop bothering you..."

Zhu Youxiao scratched his messy hair.

It seems that... there is such a thing...

"Ahem, now! Tell me everything in detail."

……

Ming Dynasty·Chongzhen period
Zhu Youjian felt a little embarrassed.

As a son, he had to watch his father's shameful past being exposed to the public.

It's so shameful.

……

[On the 29th, Zhu Changluo summoned the ministers again and issued an order to expel Cui Wensheng, stop honoring Concubine Zheng as the empress dowager, and appointed Yang Lian and others as ministers of state.]

[Afterwards, Zhu Changluo asked about the medicine offered by the Honglu Temple. Fang Congzhe said that he did not dare to trust the elixir offered by Li Kezhuo, the secretary of the Honglu Temple. However, Zhu Changluo summoned Li Kezhuo for consultation and took the elixir red pill offered by him.]

[After taking it, Zhu Changluo felt much better and comfortable. All the ministers left happily, leaving only Li Kezhuo and the imperial physician.]

[In the afternoon, Li Kezhuo left the palace, and the ministers asked about the emperor's condition.]

[Li Kezhuo responded by saying that he was worried about the drug's effectiveness wearing off, so he donated another pill, which Zhu Changluo took and the effect was very good.]

[On the first day of September, an imperial decree suddenly came out from the palace, quickly summoning all the officials to the palace.]

[The court officials hurried to the palace, but before they entered, there was already a sound of grief and wailing.]

[Zhu Changluo died at five o'clock in the morning. His temple name was Guangzong and his posthumous title was Zhen Emperor.]

……

The light in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes disappeared.

“…You’re amazing…”

"One month of the emperor."

Empress Ma poured a cup of tea for Old Zhu and said calmly:
"You should think about how to tell Li Shanchang."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the teacup and snorted coldly without saying anything.

……

{Another historical mystery, the Red Pill Case.}
{What a historical mystery.}
{The three cases of the attack with a stick, the red pill, and the palace transfer are collectively known as the Three Cases, which are named after the "Three Dynasties Essentials" compiled under the instruction of Wei Zhongxian.}
{If it weren't for the antagonistic relationship between Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party, the three cases would not have such a great reputation and would have been just a small historical fragment.}
……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
Yongyan was quite curious.

“This is the first time I’ve heard of this.”

Qianlong was drinking almond juice, and he said "Hi" after hearing this, and then he said:

"That means if there was no eunuch party in the late Ming Dynasty as a foil."

"The case of the attack with a stick may be used to explain why Wanli summoned the court officials once after he had been negligent in his administration."

"The Red Pill Case will be deliberately omitted because of the taboo of the emperor. It may only appear in the biographies of Fang Congzhe and others, suggesting that there is another explanation for the death of Emperor Taichang and it is difficult to talk about it." "The Palace Relocation Case may be mentioned, but the length will not be too long and it is not likely to attract attention. After all, it is really immoral for court officials to bully the widow of the previous emperor."

"Even when the three cases have become well-known, later generations tend to emphasize the outstanding performance of the Donglin Party in the case, which thwarted the conspiracy of various villains such as the Zhejiang Party, eunuchs, and concubines, rather than analyzing the case itself."

"There's nothing much to say about this bullshit. It's an open secret that aphrodisiacs have always been available in the palace since the middle of the Ming Dynasty."

"Emperor Taichang adopted Cui Wensheng's prescription and Li Ke's Zhuohong Pills, both of which were done semi-publicly.}"

"If there was something wrong with the prescription or the red pill, Fang Congzhe would not risk losing his head and let them go back home."

"Besides, the red pill was a common elixir during the Jiajing period, and historical records do not indicate that Zhu Changluo had any symptoms of poisoning."

Qianlong put down the empty white jade bowl, picked up the fan beside him and waved it, smiling and saying:
"Emperor Taichang indulged in sexual pleasure after ascending the throne, and took excessive amounts of aphrodisiacs that damaged his body."

"That's why Cui Wensheng used rhubarb as a laxative to fight poison with poison, to help him reduce internal heat and excrete the effects of the medicine. However, he had diarrhea 30 to 40 times a day, which also caused Emperor Taichang to suffer from kidney deficiency and physical weakness."

He Shen suddenly smiled and bowed:
"Your Majesty is right. After all, as the old saying goes, even a brave man can't stand three diarrheas..."

"Ouch! I have spoken out of turn! How could I pollute His Majesty's ears with such filthy words!"

He Shen knelt down in fear and kowtowed:
"I deserve death! I hope Your Majesty will show mercy!"

Qianlong laughed out loud as he watched this scene.

He knew very well why Heshen performed this scene.

Indeed, there are some things and truths that Yongyan cannot know.

At least he can't know it now.

That's why he laughed so hard.

What is a loyal minister? This is a loyal minister.

Yongyan, who was standing by with a smile, glanced at Heshen.

His eyes were dim and unclear.

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
For the first time, Zhu Houcong felt what shame meant.

Especially when this scene happened while I was "asking" the ministers to do something.

All the ministers in the palace lowered their heads and pretended to be dead.

Today, Your Majesty is both civil and military, and has abundant martial virtues, like a man from heaven.

Not to be messed with.

However, the death of Emperor Taichang caused some speculation in everyone's mind.

It’s all thanks to the current emperor.

Everyone also has some understanding of the compatibility of medicinal properties.

Emperor Taichang first indulged in excessive sexual activity, which led to the depletion of kidney water and excessive internal fire.

Rhubarb reduces heat and also weakens the spleen and stomach.

It would be ok to gradually nourish the spleen and stomach at this time, but you chose to use something as fierce and dangerous as Hongwan.

The red pill is made of autumn stone, human milk and cinnabar. It is hot in nature, which is exactly the opposite of the medicinal properties of rhubarb.

The spleen and stomach are weak, and the vital energy is not solid.

However, he was tortured by two powerful and opposite medicines.

How could he not die suddenly?

……

[After Zhu Changluo passed away, Yang Lian, the Imperial Censor, found the Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo and the Minister of Revenue Li Ruhua, and said that Li Xianshi was not someone who could be trusted, and that she should meet the crown prince as soon as possible and move to Ciqing Palace. The two also told Fang Congzhe, who agreed, and everyone entered the palace. ]

[Some eunuchs tried to stop them, but Yang Lian shouted at them to leave.]

[At this time, the eldest son Zhu Youxiao was stopped in the warm room by Li Xianshi. The eunuch Wang An tricked Li Xianshi into staying, and the eldest son was able to meet the ministers. The ministers immediately kowtowed, shouted "Long live the emperor", and invited him to go to Wenhua Hall.]

【Afterwards, Wang An led the way, and Duke of Yingguo Zhang Weixian, Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Liu Yirong, Minister of Rites Zhou Jiamo, and Imperial Secretary Yang Lian carried the sedan chair. Li Xianshi sent people to try to call back the eldest prince three times, but was stopped by Yang Lian.】

[After arriving at Wenhua Palace, the ministers agreed that the crown prince would ascend the throne on the sixth day. ]

[On the sixth day of September, the eldest son Zhu Youjiao ascended the throne and became Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty.]
