Chapter 9: Stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into nine

Emperor Sejong, Emperor Jiajing, and Zhu Houxi were even more lawless people. He became an emperor at the age of fifteen, and he was not the orthodox queen of the imperial family, so he was wilder than ordinary emperors. In order to make his biological mother the queen mother, he dared to reason with the ministers of the court. For the sake of his own freedom, he once abolished the East Factory. In order to sleep more and not get up early, he changed the time of the morning pilgrimage. In order not to study knowledge, he stopped lecturing. In order to settle the status of many women in the harem, he set up five queens in the southeast, northwest and northwest at one time, twenty-five concubines and seventy-six concubines. In order not to be restrained, he drove Emperor Wuzong's biological mother, Zhu Houzhao, the empress dowager at the time, out of sight. In order not to listen to the queen's verbosity, he actually slapped the queen who talked a lot in front of everyone. To vent his frustration, he could watch the fire burn another pregnant queen to death. For a jade bowl, he can kick a quasi-queen to death. In order to play with fresh women, he can issue a "marriage ban" for three consecutive years, ignoring the lives of ordinary people. In order to be immortal, he used the essence blood of young girls to refine pills and destroyed countless young girls. For his own pleasure, he set a record, he erected a large ** in his dormitory, and seventy-two maids took turns waiting for Linxing. In order to make the palace maids obedient, he can let the guards torture the palace maids to death. forced some palace maids to gather together in private, and almost strangled him to death. For this reason, he no longer believes in women, and does not leave any women by his side except for Lin Xing. Later, for the sake of safety and alchemy, he simply moved out of the palace to practice. He was able not to go to the court for more than 20 years, and let Yan Song and others control the government. He does not divide public and private interests into his own selfish interests, and can ignore the interests of the common people and life and death. "Changing rice to mulberry" almost turned Jiangnan into a wasteland. The appeasement of the traitors almost caused the Japanese to occupy Jiangnan. Nepotism has caused resentment from the government and the opposition. Conniving at corruption damaged the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. He not only ruined the royal family, but also caused the princes to fight constantly for the throne, and almost lost his heirs.

Emperor Zhu Zaigao of Longqing is also a special case, he concentrated all the problems of his body. He is not only timid and cowardly, but also quite arrogant, coupled with poor health, he is simply a good-for-nothing emperor. Zhu Zaiyuan's father, Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houxi, was a rather superstitious person, and his first sons did not live long. Every child dies as soon as he becomes a prince. A Taoist priest said that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's life was too hard, not only killed the first emperor Xiaozong Emperor Zhu Youzhu and Wuzong Emperor Zhu Houzhao, but also restrained the fortune of later emperors. For the sake of future generations and for himself, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi came to a "emperor does not see the emperor". For this superstitious statement, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi had almost no communication with his sons. Without the love of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, his mother died early, which led to Zhu Zaiyuan's uncontrolled life. 's premature adult life, as well as lax discipline, caused Zhu Zaiyuan to hurt his roots. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi did not directly discipline his son, and always sent eunuchs to reprimand his son on his behalf, causing Zhu Zaiyuan to be afraid when he saw the eunuchs. After getting married, Zhu Zaiyuan had to pretend to be royal in front of his wife, and the more inferior he was, the more he pretended to be arrogant in front of outsiders, which became a vicious circle.

Zhu Zaiyuan did not learn the ruthlessness and domineering of his father, Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houxi, but he learned his father's ** and absurdity. For the sake of his hobbies and to relieve his depression, he indulged in the affairs of men and women at an early age. Because of his too dense intercourse, coupled with the renovation of tricks, his Yuanyang was injured. When he learned that his father, Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houxi, should also consider the quality of future generations when considering the heir to the throne, and he was anxious to have his own son, he knew that he could no longer let ordinary women conceive healthy children.

For the sake of himself, for the sake of future generations, and for the future throne, Zhu Zaiyuan needs to have a healthy son. He and his people secretly looked for help, and finally found Li Shizhen, who is known as a miracle doctor. Under the cover of Tan Lun and others, Li Shizhen entered Yuwang's Mansion three times and secretly checked Zhu Zaiyuan's pulse. Finally, a set of more feasible medical methods was formulated, and a lifelong health prescription was prescribed for Zhu Zaiyuan, which was specially developed according to Zhu Zaiyuan's physique. In this way, he finally has a descendant, and this child is the current crown prince Zhu Yijun. It is also because of such a healthy and lively imperial grandson that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi decided that this son would be the future emperor, and the future emperor throne would be handed over to Zhu Yijun sooner or later. It can also be said that because of this child, Zhu Zaiyuan can become this emperor.

Zhu Zaiyuan is an indecisive person, usually he pretends to be ignorant of trivial matters, but in fact, he can't manage the daily affairs of Yuwangfu. But when there was a big event, this King Yu was even less assertive. Zhu Zaiyuan is actually a man who is very dependent on people, and he is almost inseparable from people around him. He relied on Concubine Li for the daily affairs of Yuwangfu, which was later Concubine Li; In terms of academic matters, he has to consult Zhang Juzheng or Tan Theory; On political issues, he wanted Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Yan to be his advisers; The problems of life need to be managed by the eunuchs for him. But he never acknowledges his weaknesses and tries to make excuses for himself. Especially to his family and minions, he never gives a good face. Sometimes they helped him, and they had to be scolded or beaten by him, Concubine Li and Feng Bao couldn't count. Concubine Li is not only capable but also able to settle accounts, and often helps her husband Zhu Zaiyuan come up with ideas to manage the accounts, and whenever things are done, it is time for Concubine Li to pay attention. Zhu Zaiyuan will find an opportunity to find trouble, accuse Concubine Li of Concubine Li's mistakes, and force Concubine Li to take the initiative to admit her mistakes, so that she will let go of the poor Concubine Li. Feng Bao is even more unlucky, as long as he has merit or hard work, and needs to be praised by his master, he must beware of the ruthless Zhu Zaiyuan who turns his face and attacks himself. Zhu Zaiyuan was reluctant to kill Concubine Li, but he didn't care about Feng Bao's life and death, and he might really kill Feng Bao after a beating. Feng Bao could only learn to protect himself as much as possible, use as much as possible to make Zhu Zaiyuan discourage, and at the same time use his hands to protect the important parts of his body from being beaten to death by his master Zhu Zaiyuan. At that time, it was common for emperors or princes to kill eunuchs, and there were no less than 100 eunuchs and palace maids who disappeared or were tortured to death for no reason every year. They never regarded the eunuchs and palace maids as human beings, and they would not scruple about anything, because no one would restrain them.

Zhu Zaigao is still a person who rejoices in his achievements, and often blames himself for the merits of others. Gao Gong and Tan Yan have been fooled by him many times, and Concubine Li and others also know his temper. Whenever there is something wrong, he puts the fault on others, and even comes to a "death without proof". When there is merit, he presides over these things, at least he participates in them, and the biggest credit must be his. Even giving birth to a good son is also his father's efforts and his good education. In fact, it was Concubine Li who gave birth to the child, Feng Bao was the one who educated the child, and even the child's food and clothing were also taken care of by Mama Zhang, and Zhu Zaiyuan almost didn't care at all.

Zhu Zaiyuan, who became the emperor, wanted to change his past, not only to establish a good image for himself, but also to flaunt his achievements. He wanted to prove that his throne was earned by his own efforts, not only did he not narrowly defeat his younger brother King Jing, but also not all because he had a good son. For this reason, Emperor Longqing ordered people to revise his past living records and flaunt his past, and at the same time began to alienate his precious son, proving that he did not rely on a good son to get the world.

Zhu Zaiyuan was frightened by Li Shizhen at the beginning, in order to have an heir and for his own future, so he didn't dare to bother anymore. Not only did he begin to abstain from sexual intercourse, but he also began to treat his existing wives exclusively. Because Concubine Li has a son and because she usually helps Zhu Zaiyuan, she is valued and reused by Zhu Zaiyuan. For this reason, Concubine Li became a more powerful woman in the palace of Emperor Longqing, and Empress Chen intentionally or unintentionally delegated power to Concubine Li, and Concubine Li Guifei has become the head of the harem. But in recent years, there have been changes, Meng Chong secretly colluded with a certain imperial doctor, and lied that Li Shizhen had fooled Emperor Longqing. After Emperor Longqing learned that he no longer had to restrain himself, he began to feel at ease and boldly absurd. Especially since this year, Empress Chen and Concubine Li Guifei have hinted at him many times, but he has ignored them, and even reprimanded them in public. was so frightened that Empress Chen and Concubine Li Guifei did not dare to interfere too much in the affairs of Emperor Zhu Zaigao of Longqing. This also gave some palace maids a chance, and all of them hoped to conceive a dragon and become a concubine.
