On February 10, 1456, the seventh year of Ming Jingtai, Empress Minghang was depressed in the pain of losing her son because of the silence day and night, and she died of depression, which made the Ming Dynasty Zong also quite sad, and gave the name "Queen Su Xiao" to build a mausoleum for her, and the name "Shouling" appointed the elder brother of Empress Ming Hang: Hang Jing and younger brother: Hang Min, who was a hundred households of Jinyi Wei.
On the 9th day of May, Guangxi Cheng announced that there was also an epidemic in Guilin Mansion, the political envoy of Guangxi, and 23,000 people died! In addition, Hu Guangcheng announced that the political envoy of Huangmei County had a great epidemic situation, and all 30 members of the family died, a total of 3,456 people in the county, and 728 families were wiped out.

On the 6th day of the first month of the first month of 1457 in the eighth year of Ming Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty Emperor was afraid of the death of Empress Suhang and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Jianji, who died and the position of the emperor was uncertain.
On the 11th day of the first month, Xiao Weizhen, because he had not seen His Majesty the Emperor for a few days, he was a little uneasy to lead hundreds of civil and military officials to the Zuoshun Gate of the Forbidden City to greet His Majesty the Emperor.
Ming Si Li Jian Zhangyin Eunuch: Xing'an, came out of it and said, "You and the others are all humerus ministers of the imperial court, and now you don't give advice to the Jiangshan Society, what is the purpose of kneeling here to greet An?" ”
So the ministers gathered to discuss, and asked Prince Mingyi to be reinstated as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but they were met by Ming Dongge scholars: Wang Wen, Minghua Gaidian scholars: Chen Xun, the two disagreed, so the ministers divided the book and asked, "Choose Yuanliang early." ”
After being known by the Ming Dynasty Sect, he directly replied to the song, "I have recently encountered a cold wind, and the seventeenth is set to be early, and now the Aiqing are not allowed to play anything." ”
Knowing his condition well, he hurriedly summoned the Marquis of Ming Wu Qing: Shi Heng to the dragon couch to personally instruct him, and the Marquis of Ming Wu Qing pretended to promise everything, but he saw His Majesty the Emperor coughing and vomiting blood with his own eyes, and he had already made up his mind from the bottom of his heart.
After he withdrew from the palace, he immediately sent someone to prepare horses to find the right governor of the military capital of the Ming Dynasty: Zhang Xuan, and the eunuch of the Ming Jing camp: Cao Jixiang, and told the two of them that His Majesty was about to die! Counsel to find a way out for yourself.
This was the first time to consider the matter of restoring the East Palace, but when I thought of this, it was better to ask the Emperor Taishang to restore the throne quickly, so that I could also get a reward.
On the spot, the three of them made a division of labor by the Ming Jing camp supervising the army eunuchs into the Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager of Ming Sun (Empress Xiaogong Sun), secretly informed her of the restoration, and obtained the support of the Empress Dowager of Ming Sun.
As soon as the old and frail Ming Taichang Temple Zhengqing heard about the intention of the two, he immediately waved his hand and frowned and said, "This is an immortal achievement!" However, the old man is too old to use the sixtieth year, and the left deputy is the master of Yushi Xu, who has a strategy, you can go to him to discuss. ”
So on the 14th day of the first month, the Marquis of Ming Wu Qing and the right governor of the Ming Dynasty military capital took advantage of the night to come to the left deputy capital of the Ming Imperial Palace: Xu Youzhen, the mansion conspired with him with his good calligraphy and painting, and the left deputy capital of the Ming Imperial Court was overjoyed and said, "It is necessary to let Nancheng (Emperor Taishang) know this meaning." ”
The Marquis of Ming Wu replied: "I have been told a few days ago. ”
The left deputy capital of the Ming Imperial Court said: "You must have to report before you can act." ”
On the night of the 16th day of the first month, the Marquis of Ming Wu Qing, the right governor of the military capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the eunuch of the Ming Jing camp declared that there was the will of the queen mother, and came to the Ming Imperial Palace again. Then he further whispered a plan.
At that time, there were flag bearers beating drums and bells, the left deputy capital of the Ming Imperial Court immediately sent an order to the right governor of the military governor's mansion before the Ming Dynasty to claim that there was a mutiny and led the troops into the gate of the South Palace of the Forbidden City (Hongqing Palace), the Marquis of Ming Wu and Qing Dynasty opened the door with the key, and opened the Chang'an Gate in the middle of the night to lead the troops into the Chongzhi Palace to approach the South Palace City, and captured the guards of the North and South Towns Fu Si Jinyi to break the city gate, and met the Emperor Taishang with a torch under the candlelight outside the house.
The Emperor Taishang, who was woken up, got up and changed his clothes to ask why, and the Marquis of Ming Wu and Qing took the lead in attaching himself to the ground, declaring, "I have asked the Emperor Taishang to restore the throne." ”
Later, when they entered the outer court, some guards hurriedly prepared to step forward to stop them, but the emperor stood up and said, "I am the emperor." "Only then did he successfully enter the Fengtian Gate and ascend to the throne of the Dragon Throne.
On the 17th day of the first month, the ministers because His Majesty the Emperor said in advance that he was going to come to the court today, so they were all waiting outside the noon gate early to prepare for the court, after hearing the bells and drums in unison, everyone walked into the Fengtian Gate in order, but everything in front of them made them stunned, and the emperor on the throne today is no longer the Ming Emperor: Zhu Qiyu? It's the Taishang Emperor who was imprisoned in Hongqing Palace eight years ago: Zhu Qizhen? This made the ministers look at each other and talk about it, and they didn't understand what was going on for a while?
Just when everyone was hesitating to pay homage, the left deputy capital of the Ming Imperial Court was the first to stand up and shout, "Welcome the Emperor Taishang to restore the dragon throne!" ”
On the stage, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, who wore red (leather clothes), announced to the officials, "The emperor is seriously ill and cannot manage the government, and the ministers welcome me to be reinstated, and the ministers will still hold their original official positions in the future." ”
Seeing this, the courtiers had no choice but to kneel down one after another to pay homage, and the Emperor Taishang regained the power of the throne.
At this time, Ming Mingzong had just been helped up by the palace maids to wash and comb his hair, when he heard the sound of bells and drums outside again? He felt a little strange that he hadn't gone to the court yet, who was so bold as to let the flag bearer guard beat the drums? Hurriedly asked the palace maids on the left and right, and there happened to be a eunuch who ran into the palace in a panic and accidentally knocked down the palace maid, knelt down in front of the emperor and shouted, "Your Majesty is not good!" The ministers outside, they have set up the emperor to restore the throne! ”
Ming Dynasty Sect, who learned of this, was shocked, overturned the bronze mirror on the cabinet, and said in a grief-stricken voice, "Good, good!" Immediately, he vomited blood and fainted to the ground.
On the 21st day of the first month of 1457 A.D., Ming Yingzong: Zhu Qizhen, burned incense in the mausoleum of Taimiao to pray to the ancestors, and also issued an edict to amnesty the world, and changed the eighth year of Jingtai to the first year of Tianshun.
On the same day, he was named the left deputy capital of the Ming Imperial Palace: Xu Youzhen, who was in charge of the affairs of the Wenyuan Pavilion as the "Martial Artist and Huagai Hall Scholar", and was given the title of "Fengtian Yiwei Tui Cheng Xuanli Shouzheng Wenchen" and the military department Shangshu, and the Marquis of Wuqing of the Ming Dynasty: Shi Heng, as the "Zhongguo Gong", the right governor of the former military capital of the Ming Dynasty: Zhang Xuan, as the "Taiping Marquis", the prince of the Ming Dynasty: Zhang Hui, as the "Wen Anbo", the left capital of the Ming Imperial Palace: Yang Shan, as the "Xingjibo", and the eunuch of the Jingying Camp of the Ming Dynasty: Cao Jixiang, as the "Eunuch of the Ceremonies", Feng heir Ming Mansion Army Guard Commander Tongzhi: Cao Qin, for "Zhao Wubo", Feng Ming Banner Guard, Zhen Fu Envoy: Cao Xuan, for "Flag Bearer Guard Commander Servant", Feng Ming Yanshan Zuowei Qianhu: Cao Duo, for "Nanbei Town Fu Si Dongchang Jinyi Wei Commander Tongzhi".
He also arrested and imprisoned all civil officials such as Yu Qian, and Ming Dongge University Scholar: Wang Wen, and other civil officials, and framed and fabricated misdeeds to Ming martial arts uncle: Xu Youzhen, and began to pretend that they intended to welcome the prince of Ming Xiangxian: Zhu Qiyong, who was the emperor and therefore Ming Zhongguo Gong: Shi Heng, so he took this statement, instigated the officials of Liuke Dao to play, and was sentenced to death by Xiao Weizhen, the court of the Ming Dynasty.
This made it difficult for the scholars of the Ming Dongge to endure this kind of false accusation, and they were eager to argue, "If the king of the vassal must use a gold medal letter, the person sent must have a horse card, which can be verified by the military department of the inner government." The rhetoric was impassioned.
So the Jinyi Guards of the Fusi of the North and South Towns arrested the head of the Ming Army's Che Driving Qing Division: Shen Jing, and did not use the evidence of gold medals and letters during the interrogation, but the Ming martial arts still sentenced Yu Qian and Wang Wen to attempt a conspiracy and continued to be imprisoned in Dali Temple.
Yu Qian, who was robbed of his official position, laughed and said, "This is what Shi Heng and they mean by falsely accusing you, what's the use of justifying?" ”
After the trial was submitted, Ming Yingzong was still a little hesitant, although Yu Qian had not allowed himself to enter Beijing in the previous defense of Beijing, but after all, it was a last resort! Then he sighed and said, "Wang Qing can be killed, but Yu Qing is a meritorious man, so I'm afraid it's not good to kill him for no reason!" Moreover, at the beginning, the defense of the Beijing division and the fight against the northern captives protected half of the Ming Dynasty, but now... ”
This sentence was immediately interrupted by Ming Wugong, and he said, "If you don't kill Yu Qian, then Your Majesty, your restoration will become a nameless teacher!" Only then did Ming Yingzong's mind change.
On the 23rd of the first month, Yu Qian and Wang Wen, who were in prison in Dali Temple, were escorted to the outer city of Chongwen Gate, just in front of the gate of the city that he had desperately defended, and got his final ending ~ beheaded, known as "The haze is resentful in the world, and the women and children in the suburbs of Beijing are all crying. ”
However, Ming Suixi County's teaching: Wu Yu, took the opportunity to play the imperial court and said, "A crime like Yu Qian should be exterminated, and all the civil and military ministers recommended by Yu Qian should be executed." In the end, the killing was stopped by insisting on the original sentence in the Criminal Department, and the killing was stopped by the Ming Nanbei Town, Fu Si Dongchang Jinyi Wei Qianhu: Bai Qi, requesting that his crime be written, and the stereotyped printing was published throughout the country, and the people who wanted to curry favor with the emperor for a while all used Yu Qian as a handle.
On the first day of February, after some processing, Ming Yingzong remembered that the Ming Dynasty Emperor was relocated to the West Garden, and also degraded the Ming Dynasty's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Wu, to be reverted to the "Xuanmiao Virtuous Concubine", and the Empress Wang of the Ming Dynasty was reverted to the "Prince of Xuanmiao", and the Empress of Ming Xiaosu Hang was renamed "Xiaosu Hang Side Concubine", and the Ming Huaixian Prince: Zhu Jianji, for the "Huaixian Prince" is called the Empress Dowager System, and there is the right attendant of the Ming Rite Department: Tang Xu, who asked His Majesty the Emperor to remove the Jingtai year name, which was rejected by Ming Yingzong.
