There was even a timid court lady who told the queen because she was too scared, and Emperor Jiajing was rescued.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiajing managed to survive such a dangerous situation of death.
Emperor Shizong Zhu Houcong of the Ming Dynasty refined many poisonous "elixir". For these poisonous substances such as lead and mercury, a normal person may go directly to them after one or two drops.
However, Emperor Jiajing managed to live to around 40 years old when the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty was more than 60 years old. He also ruled the Ming Dynasty for 45 years and was the emperor who actually ruled for the longest time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
In the early days of Emperor Jiajing's reign, he was wise and harsh, and did many major things, such as controlling officials strictly and governing the people leniently, rectifying the government, reducing taxes and servitude, fighting against Japanese pirates, revitalizing state affairs, and creating a situation of Zhongxing in Jiajing.
Although he was good at Taoism in the later period, he still firmly controlled the court officials, so he can be called an accomplished emperor.
During the reign of Emperor Jiajing, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was consolidated, which laid the foundation for the Longqing New Deal, Zhang Juzheng Reform, and Jialong Wanda Reform.
Emperor Jiajing is the most unique emperor in Chinese history, and also the most capricious and stubborn among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He is intelligent, especially in calligraphy and diction.
At the same time, Emperor Jiajing was very sensitive, but he was also very diligent, and he often read the memorials until midnight.
History books commented on Emperor Jiajing as "the Lord of Zhongxing", saying that he "has the six incomparable wonders, the four great heroes who have no competition, and the five lonely walks that shock the world".
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this emperor does not love the country, loves alchemy, does not deal with state affairs and women, and is an out-and-out "faint emperor".
But in fact Zhu Houcong is not "faint" at all. He is mean and shrewd, holds great power tightly, and sits firmly on the throne.
People in later generations like to say that Zhu Houcong is a faint king, which is true in terms of national interests.
But from the perspective of personal interests, Zhu Houcong is not faint at all. He has always been a shrewd person who cannot be manipulated by ministers.
What personal interests does Zhu Houcong have?
Be an emperor.
During his 46 years in power, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, but the emperor's throne was secure.
Jiajing is the reign name of Emperor Shizong Zhu Houcong of the Ming Dynasty. This reign name lasted for 45 years and was the second longest reign name used by the Ming Dynasty.
The Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong was the No. 1 foreign vassal in the Ming Dynasty who entered the throne.
He is the nephew of Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang of the Ming Dynasty, and the cousin of Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty. He was originally named King Xingxian, and he was a vassal in Anlu, Huguang, a fish and meat town.
Unexpectedly, the pie fell from the sky. In 1521, the 31-year-old Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao suddenly vomited blood and died.
Zhu Houzhao was lustful and licentious all his life, but he did not give birth to a son to succeed him, according to the ancestral motto of "brother ends up with brother".
Zhu Houcong, who was thousands of miles away in a remote place, was welcomed to Beijing and became the master of the Forbidden City at the age of 15.
It is not so easy for a foreign vassal to enter Beijing to be emperor, after all, he does not have the orthodox status of a crown prince.
It is one thing to be supported by the ministers, mainly the chief assistant Yang Tinghe.
It is another matter to establish the majesty of the emperor who has established himself as an arbitrary party.
The young emperor Zhu Houcong was very wise in the first two years when he took the throne of the emperor.
He eradicated the power of eunuchs, cleared up the world's property, and opened up the way of speaking, which has the tendency of a rejuvenating king.
However, as the boy grows up day by day, Zhu Houcong, whose wings are hardened, needs to prove one thing the most.
He may not be a good emperor, but he is definitely No.1 in the world.
In the third year of Zhu Houcong's succession to the throne, a political event that lasted three and a half years and was known as the "Great Ritual Discussion" took place in history.
Zhu Houcong finally fully revealed the majesty of imperial power.
The reason is that Zhu Houcong proposed to honor his biological father as "Huang Kao", which means to put his father's name into orthodoxy.
Now, the old-fashioned ministers are unwilling: Isn't this messing up the rules of the world?
Headed by the chief assistant Yang Tinghe, all the officials unanimously opposed it, and Shangshu said that Emperor Xiaozong should be regarded as the emperor's test, and King Xingxian should be regarded as the emperor's uncle.
Of course Zhu Houcong was not happy that his own father became an "uncle emperor", he said angrily, "Can parents be changed?"
For this title, he and the ministers disputed for three and a half years.
In the end, Yang Tinghe was forced to resign, and 229 ministers knelt down at Zuoshunmen to petition, shouting "Emperor Gao", "Emperor Xiaozong" in the spirit of the sky, and "Sound shakes Que Ting".
Kneeling from morning to noon means not giving up until the goal is achieved.
The results of it?
The 17-year-old young emperor was furious and ordered 134 people to be arrested and imprisoned. Those above the fourth rank would be deprived of their salaries, and those below the fifth rank would be rode. As a result, 17 people were rode to death on the spot.
Relying on the supreme power of the emperor, Zhu Houcong successfully pursued and honored his father as "Xiandi Emperor, Ruizong".
Since then, it has become a unique scene during the Jiajing period that the board beat the minister's buttocks.
The emperor was stubborn, and so were the ministers, and they never backed down when they encountered so-called problems of principle.
In the Jiajing Dynasty, more than [-] ministers were rode, and the number of dead was five times that of the previous generation.
The humiliation of the public minister is unprecedented.
Chapter 102 Ten Faint Kings No.7
However, sometimes ministers were beaten unjustly, such as on the issue of anti-Japanese.
Zhu Houcong was an emperor who liked auspiciousness. He lost his temper when he heard ministers reporting natural disasters such as earthquakes and droughts. He was even more angry at the southeast coast that had been messed up by Japanese pirates.
"Both the north and the south are bullying, and the Japanese pirates have destroyed the place even more!"
But no minister can come up with a decent strategy.
The anti-Japanese officials on the front line are busy, they need soldiers, food and money, but it is rare to win a battle.
The imperial censors in the rear were only heartbroken to impeach the frontline ministers for "negligence of duty and waste of money."
The ministers of various departments far away from the front line had their own whims, some suggested opening the market, and some suggested offering sacrifices to gods.
Zhu Houcong became more confused and angry, so he listed more crimes and beat the board louder.
During the 20 years when the Japanese plague was the worst in Jiajing, 23 ministers of various ministries were dismissed from office, and 27 senior officials were locked up, imprisoned and beheaded.
Speaking of which, the emperor of the Zhu family has always had the habit of angering his ministers.
On the eve of Li Zicheng's army approaching Beijing, his great-great-grandson Emperor Chongzhen said a famous sentence to his officials: "I am not the king of subjugation, but you are the ministers of subjugation!"
In the early period of Emperor Jiajing's rule, the situation of "Jiajing Zhongxing" appeared.
Politically, the imperial power was highly concentrated by attacking powerful officials and the power of feudal landlords and aristocrats, taking charge of internal and external affairs.
