In Beijing, before dawn, Chongzhen got up early and began to deal with government affairs.

"How can this be reasonable, I didn't expect that this kind of rebellious thing was really written by Wang Zezhi.

The emperor in this drama asked his subordinates for silver, but he couldn't ask for it, which was ridiculous and ridiculous.

In the end, it is ridiculous that this incompetent emperor committed suicide.

What does Wang Zezhi want to do?

Everyone in and out of the words is cursing Yu me, cursing me to kill myself, it's really... What a rebel and thief, damn it. ”

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is angry, take care of the dragon's body." Wang Chengen said cautiously.

"Dog minion, the matter has been clarified, you still have to speak for him, and you are innocent of death, I should cut you with a thousand knives." Chongzhen knocked over Wang Chengen with one kick, pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and put the sword on Wang Chengen's neck.

"Your Majesty, the drama is just a little fun for the people in the market, and it shouldn't be true.

Besides, the death of the king of Jin has nothing to do with Wang Zezhi, and the minister's subordinates have verified that the king of Jin has taken the pill in order to prolong his life, why does the emperor not know what the pill is? ”

Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo Chongzhen's father was knocked to death by knocking the pill, and it is impossible to say that Chongzhen didn't know about this matter.

Zhu Changluo originally thought that the new monarch would succeed to the throne and make some achievements, but he died due to the Red Pill case.

Only ten days after Zhu Changluo held the enthronement ceremony, that is, on the 10th day of August in the first year of Taichang (1620), he could not afford to fall ill.

The next day, the celebration was also canceled.

On August 14, Emperor Taichang became seriously ill and summoned Cui Wensheng, an internal official, for treatment.

Cui Wensheng was originally a close eunuch in Concubine Zheng's palace.

After Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he was promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and after Zhu Changluo fell ill, Zheng Guifei instructed Cui Wensheng to enter the emperor as a eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy to enter the "Tongli medicine", that is, rhubarb.

Rhubarb is the equivalent of a laxative.

Therefore, in the next day and night, Zhu Changluo had diarrhea thirty or forty times in a row, and his body was extremely weak and in a state of exhaustion.

Later, the courtiers violently criticized Cui Wen's qualifications for entering the medicine and whether the drugs he entered were in line with medical principles.

Yang Lian said: "The thief Cui Wensheng doesn't know how to ...... Trying in vain; If he knows the doctor, the surplus of the doctor will be discharged, and the deficiency will be made up. The emperor mourned, more than 10,000 a day, Yu Fa Zheng should be cleared, and Wensheng turned into a counter-opposition. ”

Yang Lian believed that Zhu Changluo's body was weak and should be supplemented, but Cui Wensheng took laxatives instead, and his heart was unpredictable.

At that time, Zhu Changluo's biological mother, the Wang family, and the former crown princess Guo's family, all thought that there must be a conspiracy, and they all told the ministers of the court, crying about the danger of the palace ban: "Cui Wensheng medicine, so it is not a mistake!" ”

On August 28, the first year of Taichang (1620), Zhu Changluo summoned thirteen people, including Zhang Weixian, the British minister, and Fang Congzhe, the first assistant of the cabinet, into the palace, and asked the eldest son of the emperor to come out to see them.

On August 29, the first year of Taichang (1620), Li Kezhuo, the head of Honglu Temple, said that there was an elixir to be presented to the emperor.

The eunuchs did not dare to call the shots, and reported the matter to the cabinet minister Fang Congzhe.

Fang Congzhe said: "He is called the elixir, so he doesn't dare to believe it." ”

Then, the cabinet ministers went to the Qianqing Palace to visit Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo had already deliberately arranged the aftermath at this time, handed over the emperor's eldest son to the cabinet ministers to assist carefully, and asked about the construction of his mausoleum.

After arranging everything, Zhu Changluo asked: "There is an official from Honglu Temple to enter the medicine, where is it?" ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Li Kezhuo of Honglu Temple is from Yunxian Pill, and the ministers dare not be credulous. ”

Zhu Changluo knew that his fate was on the horizon, so he had the idea of giving it a try and ordered Li Kezhuo to enter the palace to offer medicine.

By noon, Li Kezhuo had prepared a red pill and let the emperor take it.

After Zhu Changluo finished taking the red pill, he felt fine, and asked the attendant to say: "After the Holy Communion is medicinalized, it is warm and comfortable, and I want to drink and eat." ”

In the evening, Zhu Changluo ordered Li Kezhuo to take another red pill.

Although the imperial doctors all objected, Zhu Changluo insisted on taking another one.

So, Li Kezhuo asked the emperor to take a red pill again.

After taking it, Zhu Changluo felt as comfortable as before, and there were no adverse reactions.

On September 26 of the first year of Taichang (1620), Zhu Changluo died.

As a result, the courtiers discussed one after another, designating Li Kezhuo and Hongwan as the culprits who caused the emperor's violent death, and also involved Fang Congzhe.

However, Fang Congzhe and Li Kezhuo had the hope of giving Zhu Changluo a try when they took the medicine, and they did not take any responsibility for Zhu Changluo's death.

Later, the cabinet scholars explained in detail the beginning and end of the medicine in a note to Xizong, so that Fang Congzhe got out of the predicament.

The red pill, in fact, is similar to the red lead pill that Emperor Jiajing took at the beginning, which is made by a woman through water, autumn stone, human milk, and cinnabar.

Zhu Changluo, who was already weak, was tortured by the opposite and violent two-flavor drugs in the last years, and died violently.

Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo reigned for only one month and was Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old.

"I ordered someone to investigate this matter, but I didn't order you to investigate this matter, Wang Chengen, you are so bold." Chongzhen was furious and drank again.

He didn't think about what Jin's death had nothing to do with Wang Zezhi, but blamed Wang Chengen.

He didn't give Wang Chengen an order, but Wang Chengen knew the inside story.

What does this mean, this shows that Wang Chengen has his own people in the two factories and one guard, otherwise he would not have been able to know these news no matter what.

"Say, what else do you know?" Chongzhen poked the tip of his sword in Wang Chengen's chest, ready to kill him at any moment.

"As far as the minister knows, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under Wang Zezhi's command." Wang Chengen said with difficulty.

"What? There are more than 100,000, what does Zhenbei Bo want so many soldiers and horses for? Is it to force the palace to rebel? Chongzhen was furious when he heard this.

What does it mean that an earl has more than 100,000 troops?

This means that he can be the same as Zhu Di and force the palace to rebel.

"As far as the minister knows, there are more than 60,000 soldiers under Wang Zezhi's command, and these soldiers and horses are the elite of the elite."

"The best of the best? How strong. ”

"One person can stop ten people of the forbidden army."

"Nonsense, unless they have three heads and six arms."

"Your Majesty, the spies of your subordinates have seen with their own eyes, they can carry a weight of fifty catties, walk from Shouyang to Datong Mansion all the way, dare to ask the emperor, who in the forbidden army can do this?

That Wang Zezhi's establishment is like this for everyone. ”

Wang Chengen said.

"Is that true?" Chongzhen let go of the sword in his hand with a clatter, and asked in disbelief.

"It's true that the minister guarantees the head of the item."

"Didn't you say that he had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses? Is it the same with the other horses? ”

"Your Majesty, don't talk about other soldiers and horses, these more than 60,000 elite soldiers alone can break through the Xuanfu from Datong and go straight to the Beijing Division."

Chongzhen shook and sat on the ground.

"Tell me about the situation of the other soldiers and horses under Wang Zezhi's command."

"In addition to the establishment of soldiers, Wang Zezhi also has a different number of military meritorious soldiers in his hands."

"How many military merit soldiers does he have?"

"Your Majesty, forgive the old slave for speaking bluntly, and the ministers don't know."

"Why don't you know?"

"Wang Zezhi's command, all those who kill the enemy, all have military merits, that is, the old and weak women and children kill the enemy, he is willing to give military merits, so calculated, how do you say you can count it." Wang Chengen stretched out his hands and spread them out helplessly.

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Datong Mansion alone, if everyone has military merits, wouldn't it mean that Wang Zezhi has hundreds of thousands of military merits?"

"But that's not all, I don't know what method Wang Zezhi used, he can actually gather the soldiers and horses of the outer departments, these barbarians are weak and strong.

Think about it, countless barbarians on the grassland, in response to his call, came on horseback, how can I be prepared? ”

"This king is still immovable?"

"I can't move, Your Majesty, I will move my whole body, our treasury is empty, what will we do to fight when the time comes."

"If you can't move, then don't move."

Chongzhen got up gloomily, and he was excited.

Wang Chengen deliberately said this, just to protect Wang Zezhi.

Because he knows that blindly saying good things will only be counterproductive.

It's better to explain the powerful relationship, no matter how confused Chongzhen is, he has to consider the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty.
