Chapter 26 Secret 3
After the death of Emperor Zhengde, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, welcomed Emperor Jiajing into the palace and became emperor. Emperor Jiajing's concubine became the empress, and Concubine Wan became Concubine Wan Jing. At that time, in fact, the queen had been left out in the cold, and the highest status in ** was Concubine Wan Jing. It's a pity that this Concubine Wan Jing didn't know how to give birth and didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter to Emperor Jiajing.
At that time, he was not only obsessed with Taoism, but also hoped that Emperor Jiajing, who had his own son, would listen to the words of the Taoist priest and broadcast love in the palace. Although the Taoist priests taught Emperor Jiajing to collect yin and supplement yang, it did not achieve the expected effect, but greatly increased the ability of Emperor Jiajing's imperial maiden. Just as Emperor Jiajing was galloping among the palace maids, Concubine Wan Jing actually got along with a Taoist priest. Concubine Wan Jing very much hopes to have her own children, and after having children, she will kill this Jiajing Emperor and become the queen mother herself. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest was not strict in his mouth, and other Taoist priests knew about it. In order to convince Emperor Jiajing that Concubine Wan Jing was not a good person, the Taoist priests made up an even more bizarre story. They said that Concubine Wan Jing is not a person, she is a snake that has become a essence, she not only absorbs the dragon energy and essence of Emperor Jiajing, but also in ****. Emperor Jiajing didn't believe it, and the Taoist priests took Emperor Jiajing to see a performance, and the heartfelt Concubine Wan Jing was not only a Taoist man, but also secretly fornicated with other men. After Emperor Jiajing saw everything, he really believed that Concubine Wan Jing was a goblin. Under the arrangement of the Taoist priests, Concubine Wan Jing disappeared. For the sake of his own face and his own country, Emperor Jiajing declared to the public that Concubine Wan Jing had become an immortal one step ahead of him.
In fact, Concubine Wan Jing was secretly drugged by Taoist priests, and Concubine Wan Jing, who was unconscious, was taken out of the palace. After being transported to this Qianqiu Pavilion non-stop, he was secretly imprisoned in the secret prison in the Qianqiu Pavilion. Tan Da is the second caretaker, and Concubine Wan Jing is really tenacious, and she has not died after being imprisoned for nearly 30 years. Tan Da sent a bowl of water every day and gruel once every three days, which was an order from Emperor Jiajing. When Concubine Wan Jing died, she told Emperor Jiajing as soon as possible.
Qin Tai also asked the other prisoners, but Tan Da didn't hide it. It turned out that each prisoner had a separate cell, and no one was allowed to see them except the guards. Tan Da is guarding Concubine Wan Jing, Empress Zhengde has other people to take care of her, and others also have special caretakers. Tan Da is the oldest and most senior one here, so he knows the names of all the prisoners.
Qin Tai asked the eunuch who was in charge of Emperor Zhengde's empress, and the eunuch was the fourth caretaker. At the beginning, Emperor Zhengde was forced to marry this empress, but there was no skin relationship between them. This empress was actually an old virgin, so she hated Emperor Zhengde and his concubines very much. During the battle between her and the concubines, the empress, who was almost perverted, poisoned several concubines of Emperor Zhengde, one of whom was pregnant. At that time, Emperor Zhengde had no children, not even a daughter, and the empress poisoned Emperor Zhengde's child, and Emperor Zhengde was furious. If it weren't for the ministers and concubines trying their best to stop them, Emperor Zhengde would have killed this queen who occupied the seat and didn't. After the empress was sent to the cold palace, it is said that she cursed Emperor Zhengde with the most vicious words every day. Emperor Zhengde had no choice but to escort her here secretly, which was better than Concubine Wan Jing, who came in later, and the queen could eat a bowl of porridge here every day. I lived to be in my sixties, almost seventy years old, and I was still able to eat and drink.
There is also a big man here, Lord Ningwang. This King Ning is actually King Xiaoning, and he is the lobby brother of the two brothers Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Jiajing. During the Zhengde period, there were two rebellions of King Ning, and the first rebellion of King Ning was in the fourth year of Zhengde. This Lao Ning King is the uncle of Emperor Zhengde, that is, the youngest brother of Emperor Renzong. His intelligence is outstanding, but unfortunately he is not a descendant, and he is the youngest of his brothers. King Lao Ning took advantage of the quarrel between Emperor Zhengde and the ministers of the court, and raised troops to prepare to overthrow Emperor Zhengde. After the defeat, this King Ning was secretly poisoned and died in prison by Emperor Zhengde. Because of this incident, the relationship between Emperor Zhengde and several other vassal kings of the imperial family was very bad. King Ning died, and of course one of his descendants was also deprived of the right to inherit. Emperor Zhengde gave the status of King Ning to the descendants of the same grandfather, Emperor Yingzong, and historically called this King Ning King Xiaoning. Although King Xiaoning is of the same generation as Emperor Zhengde, he is already in his forties. When he saw Emperor Zhengde, who was in his twenties and could not do martial arts, he really looked down on this emperor's younger brother. The idea of being the emperor on behalf of this younger brother began to exist at that time. Later, this King Xiaoning used his relationship to buy Emperor Zhengde, that is, Jiang Bin next to the mighty general Zhu Shou, and prepared to seize Emperor Zhengde under the cooperation of the inside and outside, and when King Xiaoning ascended the throne as the emperor, Jiang Bin was the general of soldiers and horses. Unexpectedly, Jiang Bin acted in advance, not only exposing himself, but also exposing King Xiaoning. King Xiaoning was forced to rush into battle, but was caught by Emperor Zhengde. In order not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the vassal kings, Emperor Zhengde secretly imprisoned King Xiaoning and did not immediately execute King Xiaoning. I didn't expect King Xiaoning to be like this for thirty or forty years. King Xiao Ning, who is already in his eighties, has spent half of his years in the Qianqiu Pavilion, and he has not lost his breath yet.
There is also a celebrity who is also here, Emperor Jiajing's brother Lu Binglu. It is said that Lord Lu's own mother is the wet nurse of Emperor Jiajing, which means that Lu Bing and Emperor Jiajing grew up eating the milk of the same mother. Lord Lu's father was the captain of King Xingxian's guard, and Lu Bing was one of Emperor Jiajing's most important subordinates. But why is he here? The reason was that an old eunuch who was guarding Lu Bing told Qin Tai. It turns out that Lu Bing is from a Jinyiwei, and his father and grandfather are all from Jinyiwei, which can be said to be a Jinyiwei family. His grandfather was the Jinyi guard sent by Emperor Xianzong to spy on his son King Xingxian. On the surface, the Lu family has been loyal to King Xingxian for generations, but in fact, the imperial court has sent a tool to monitor the local vassal kings. Fortunately, Lu Bing's father was not a fool and did not do anything to be sorry for King Xingxian. When Emperor Jiajing was young, Emperor Jiajing knew that Lu Bing and his father were Jinyiwei, but they were very loyal to him. After Emperor Jiajing became the emperor, Emperor Jiajing ignored the opposition of his ministers and appointed Lu Bing as the deputy commander of Jinyiwei. Lu Bing became the most loyal spy leader to Emperor Jiajing. From the imperial court to the locality, whenever there was anything unfavorable to Emperor Jiajing, Lu Bing would tell Emperor Jiajing as soon as possible. Later, Emperor Jiajing gave Lu Bing the right to dispose of it, and Lu Bing had the right to dispose of it first and then report any remarks that were unfavorable to him. Lu Bing's power was once greater than that of a eunuch, and he became a person that all officials feared. At that time, everyone knew that there were two ancestors in the Jiajing Dynasty, the first ancestor was the chief administrator Lu Fang, and the ancestor of the imperial court was Lu Bing. Even Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, was very polite to Lu Bing, calling Lu Bing, who was half younger than him, a little ancestor. Emperor Jiajing spent half of his time in retreat and cultivation, and the major affairs of the court were handed over to Yan Song, and the affairs of ** were handed over to Lu Fang, and Lu Bing supervised the two of them while monitoring the vassal kings and generals in various places. Yan Song, Lu Fang, and Lu Bing became the three most powerful figures. Later, Emperor Jiajing discovered a secret, it turned out that Lu Bing was secretly doing things that only emperors could do. It turned out that Emperor Jiajing, in order to cultivate the Tao, approached women less and less, and almost visited women less than ten times a year. **There are too many resentful women, Lu Bing took advantage of the right to enter at will**, and had adultery with many concubines and more palace maids. There is even a concubine who secretly raised a child for Lu Bingsheng and secretly raised it in the palace. Emperor Jiajing didn't know that this was deliberately arranged ******** Lu Fang, in order to remove Lu Bing, an obstacle. Emperor Jiajing knew that Lu Bing, who he believed in the most, had brought him a green hat, and it was several times, and Emperor Jiajing was mad. It has always been him, the emperor, who cuckolded other ministers or relatives, who would dare to cuckold him, the emperor? In this way, Lu Bing disappeared, and it was announced that Lu Bing had mistakenly taken the poisoned pill and died for Emperor Jiajing. In fact, before Lu Bing was sent here, he had already been castrated by Emperor Jiajing on the orders of Lu Fang. And all the concubines who had a relationship with Lu Bing, as well as the concubine who gave birth to Lu Bing, were buried alive together. And the child left in the palace did not die, and Emperor Jiajing wanted to keep him as a little eunuch to take revenge on Lu Bing for cuckolding him. Lu Bing not only can only drink water every day, gruel once every five days, but also someone comes to beat him every once in a while. This is the material that the chief manager Lu Fang added to Lu Bing. Who told this Lu Bing to look down on their eunuchs at that time and dare to point fingers at Lu Fang.
Qin Tai listened carefully to the names and experiences of these prisoners, and he always felt that the equipment, weapons, and war horses outside might be related to the prisoners here. The empress of Emperor Zhengde should be the most unlikely, her mother's family has no power, is there anyone in the court to support them, this unfavored empress family has long been ********, and should not be able to prepare so many materials. If you have this ability, it is better to put on these equipment directly and kill into the Qianqiu Pavilion to rescue the queen, there is no need to frame the eunuchs in the Qianqiu Pavilion with so many things.
Concubine Wan Jing has a certain influence in **, but all this was given by Emperor Jiajing. Now that Emperor Jiajing has withdrawn his rights, Concubine Wan Jing's people should not be able to do so.
The most likely ones are Xiao Ning Wang and Lu Bing, but they are unlikely. Although there are still descendants of King Xiao Ning, their every move is monitored by a large number of secret agents in the court, how can they secretly mobilize so many equipment and weapons? Besides, what's the use of rescuing an old man in his eighties? Lu Bing's family shouldn't know the news that Lu Bing is here, and for the sake of Lu Bing, who has been said to be a dead person by the emperor, is their Lu family really willing to give up their current status and power? If they do this, won't they directly turn against Emperor Jiajing? Is one Lu Bing worthy of such a big sacrifice for the entire Lu family? There shouldn't be so many desperate fools, right?
