readx; The Ming Dynasty from 1368 to 1644 experienced a total of sixteen emperors, excluding the Southern Ming regime. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Let's briefly introduce it (I won't talk about it after Wanli, it has nothing to do with Journey to the West).

Founding Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, 1328-1398. Among them, he reigned from 1368 to 1398, with the temple name Taizu, the year name Hongwu, and the capital of Nanjing. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhongshu Province was established, and the left and right prime ministers were placed, but in 1380, Zhongshu Province and the Prime Minister were abolished, and the division of power was attributed to the six ministries. The emperor served as a part-time prime minister, and set up auxiliary ministers (Huagai Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, East Pavilion, and Wenhua Palace). The cabinet ministers wrote down the government's proposals on a piece of paper and attached them to the recital, which was called "ticket drafting", and the emperor approved it in red letters, which was "approval red". The Jinyi Guard was established, and its prison function was abolished in the last years. After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne, he restored all the power of Jinyiwei and strengthened it. First of all, there were prime ministers Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, and famous ministers Liu Ji (Liu Bowen) and Song Lian. The most typical punishment used to deal with corrupt officials is "skinning and pulling grass" (this punishment is Zhu Yuanzhang from Buddhism, saying that it is a kind of soul taken in hell), and the prisoners are dragged to the "leather field temple" to peel the skin and fill it with straw and lime, and hang it as a warning.

Zhu Yunwen, 1377-1402, who reigned from 1398 to 1402, either died in a fire or escaped from the tunnel with one of his sons, Zhu Wenkui. The year name is Jianwen, and there is no temple number. The major bachelors were abolished, changed to bachelors, and the bachelors of the Zhengxin Hall were added. Appointed Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai.

Zhu Di, 1360-1424, of which 1402-1424 reigned, the year name Yongle, the temple name was Taizong first, and later changed to Chengzu. (One of the sons, Zhu Gaochi) formally established the cabinet system, (Wenyuan Pavilion is located in the east of the Forbidden City, became the cabinet office, and entering the cabinet means that you can enter the Wenyuan Pavilion Auxiliary Government) University Scholars and Auxiliary Politics, and later gradually increased the power of University Scholars (and in charge of six Shangshu). At the same time, the East Factory was established, and the function of Jinyiwei was restored, the capital was moved to Beijing, and the royal industry was set up (Nanjing became the auxiliary capital) in order to reduce the burden on the peasants. He appointed monks and military advisers Yao Guangxiao and Yang Shiqi, and organized Zheng He to go to the West six times.

Zhu Gaochi, 1378-1425. Among them, he reigned from 1424 to 1425, with the year name Hongxi, the temple name Renzong, and the eldest son Zhu Zhanji. The plan to move the capital to Nanjing was implemented, but it was unsuccessful because of his death. Part of the case of rehabilitating the party's filial piety and resolving the case. Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu were appointed as auxiliary ministers.

Zhu Zhanji, 1398-1435. Among them, he reigned from 1425 to 1435, with the year name Xuande, the temple name Xuanzong, and his sons Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu. To improve the cabinet affairs, the scholars initially drafted opinions on the handling of government affairs, but they were submitted to the emperor for approval by the celebrant supervisor, and Zhu Zhanji actually asked the eunuchs to "approve the red", planting the seeds of eunuch interference. The last time he organized Zheng He to go to the West. Continue to appoint Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu.

Zhu Qizhen, 1427-1464. Among them, 1435-1449 (era name orthodoxy) and 1457-1464 (era name Tianshun) reigned twice, the temple name Yingzong, and his son Zhu Jianshen. Wang Zhen, the eunuch appointed by Zhu Qizhen, became the first eunuch to disrupt the government (the famous one is also Wang Zhen's henchman Xining). Later, there was the eunuch Cao Jixiang, who was not a thing, he used to be Wang Zhen's henchman, and was finally killed by Zhu Qizhen. Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng were appointed.

Zhu Qiyu, 1428-1457. Among them, he reigned from 1449 to 1457, the year name Jingtai, the temple number began to be none, and he was posthumously honored as Daizong in the later Southern Ming Dynasty, and his son Zhu Jianji was the prince in 1452-1453 and died early. The cabinet added the edict room and the scholar in the edict room, and the power was expanded again. Ren Yuqian was the secretary of the military department (so Yu Qian did not enter the cabinet) and Wang Wen, a university scholar.

Zhu Jianshen, 1447-1487. Among them, he reigned from 1464 to 1487, with the year name Chenghua and the temple name Xianzong. (He was made crown prince in 1449.) In 1452, Zhu Qiyu deposed it as the king of Yi, and after the restoration of Nangong in 1457, he was re-established as the crown prince and renamed Zhu Jianshen) son Zhu Youji, Xingxian Wang Zhu Youqi (born son Zhu Houxi). Partially rehabilitated Yu Qian's unjust case, restored the emperor title of his uncle Zhu Qiyu, and canceled the funeral system of concubines. However, for a time, the West Factory was set up, and the royal property was officially named "Huangzhuang", and the nature of the property was fundamentally changed, and the land was seized from the people. Wan An (a relative of Empress Wan, nicknamed 'Long Live Pavilion Lao'), Peng Shi, Shang Lu (and the six old clay sculptures of the three pavilions of paper paste); eunuchs include Wang Zhi, Liang Fang, and Qian Neng; traitors Li Zi Province and Seng Jixiao.

Zhu Youji, 1470-1505. Among them, he reigned from 1487 to 1505, with the year name Hongzhi, the temple name Xiaozong, and his son Zhu Houxie. Basically abolished the punishment of peeling and other punishments (Hai Rui had proposed restoration but failed during the reign of Jiajing Longqing); invented the toothbrush in 1498; appointed Wang Shu and Liu Daxia.

Zhu Houxi, 1491-1521. Among them, he reigned from 1505 to 1521, with the year name Zhengde, the temple name Wuzong, and no descendants, and his cousin Zhu Houxi. Cabinet Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Jiao Fang, Wang Wei, Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, Mao Ji, and Wang Shouren, a famous minister. Pampered Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, "Eight Tigers" eunuchs and Zhang Rui. Appointed favored ministers Jiang Bin and Qian Ning. He crowned himself with the Buddha name of "Daqing Dharma King Xitianjue Dao Yuanming Freedom Dading Hui Buddha"; crowned himself as "Zhenguo Gong and General"; set up an inner factory to supervise the East Factory, the West Factory, and Jinyiwei; once used the West Factory, which was later abolished.

Zhu Houxi, 1507-1567. Among them, he reigned from 1521 to 1567, with the year name Jiajing, the temple name Sejong, and his son Zhu Zaiyuan. Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Zhang Xuan (Fu Jing), Yang Yiqing, Xie Qian, Zhai Luan, Fang Xianfu, Xia Yan, Gu Dingchen, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Yuan Wei were appointed. Famous ministers Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun, Tang Kekuan, Zhou Shangwen, Hai Rui.

Zhu Zaiyuan, 1537-1572. Among them, he reigned from 1567 to 1572, with the year name Longqing, the temple name Muzong, and his son Zhu Lingjun. Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Li Chunfang, Zhang Juzheng, famous ministers Wang Chonggu, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and Hai Rui were appointed.

Zhu Lingjun is no longer introduced, he is the emperor on whom Lao Wu and Li Chunfang had high hopes.

Why do you want to introduce so many Ming Dynasty emperors? We have also seen that Lao Wu vaguely briefly talked about some of the contents from Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Youzhi in the book, but the most important thing to introduce in Journey to the West is the story of Zhu Qizhen to Zhu Zaiyuan, pinning our hopes on Emperor Wanli.

But if you take a closer look at Journey to the West, you find that it is particularly chaotic inside. Many people are also vaguely aware that Sun Wukong and others must have mapped the emperor, but Journey to the West is too complicated and seems to have various contradictory descriptions, making it difficult for readers to judge who is mapping whom and which dynasty.

Earlier, we have already said that some masters and apprentices plus the five white horses reflect the image of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so let's look down, how Lao Wu is implied.

First of all, we must know that the order of the five elements is that gold begets water, water begets wood, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, and earth begets gold. Then it happens to be Zhu Qizhen - Zhu Jianshen - Zhu Youzhu (Zhu Youqi) - Zhu Houxian (Zhu Houxi) - Zhu Zaiyuan. Is it a coincidence?

Zhu Yuanzhang is particular about naming future generations. First of all, his twenty-six sons, their names are all single words, and they are all next to wooden characters, such as Zhu Biao and Zhu Di. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much about it.

Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China (around 1375), Zhu Yuanzhang researched the history of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and decided to name his descendants (after Sun Tzu) with a chapter that could not be repeated. So the rules are as follows, the court is sealed, and after the vassal king has descendants, the name must be two-character. But the first word in the name should be in order, and this order has been set, that is, the word is already fixed. As for the last word, it should have fire, earth, metal, wood, and water only next to the words, and then it will be arranged down in the order of the five elements. However, only the descendants of King Jingjiang do not need to have the five lines next to them.

It stipulates for each royal palace how to take the first word in the name from below.

The proposed name of the East Palace is that Yunwen follows the ancestral teachings, the great monarch of Qinwu wins, and the way is auspicious, and the teacher is good at using Sheng.

Qin Fu said, Shang Zhi is honest and honest, but with respect and friendship, the auxiliary heirs are honest and honest, and Kuang Shi is always faithful.

The Jin Mansion said, Jimei Zhong Qi watch, know the new and be cautious, judge the heart of Xianjingmu, and continue to learn from the previous repair.

Yan Fu said, Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, a thick Zai Yi Changyou, Ci and Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou.

Zhou Fu said, there are sons and peace, the diligent dynasty is in Sugong, Shaolun is Huirun, and Zhaoge is Guangdengyong.

Chu Mansion said, Meng Ji is honorable, Yinghua is prosperous, Hongcai is promoted to Boyan, and Mao Shi is full of merit.

Qi Fu said, virtuous and long-standing, wise and real, the cultivation period is elegant, and Yin Sifu will pass.

Lu Fu said, Zhaotai Yang is healthy, Guanyi Shou is Hong, Zhenju Xi and Da, Kangzhuang meets Benning.

Shu Fu said, Yue Friends Shen Binrang, Cheng Xuan Feng to Ping, Mao Jin Shen Zhiyi, and Mu Qing of Duju Affairs.

Xiangfu said, Jiuzhen opened Fangyue, promoted prestige and etiquette, fortitude and excellence, and weighed Su self-sufficiency.

Dai Fu said, Xun Shi Cheng Jun, Chong Ting Nai Ding Yi, Chuan Yi Lian Xiuyu, Bing Yi Zhuang Hongji.

Su Fu said, Zhan Lu Gong Zhenbi, Jin Gentry knows Lie Zhong, Xi Hui is lucky, and Kai advises Henglong.

Liaofu said, the grace of the nobles, the constitution is respectful, the clouds are still Qi Baohe, and the Han Li Longyu is.

Qingfu said, the rank is Tai Mo, Ni Shen is handsome and strange, and it is suitable for the completion of the huge scum, and the relatives need to be killed.

Ning Fu said, Pan lay the pilgrimage to the Chengong, and in the conspiracy and unification, he always added a broad branch and made a philosopher.

Minfu said, Huiyin Yingyan reputation, Dinggan Qi Yong, Chongli original consultation, Kuanrong Xi Ben.

Gu Fu said, the quality of the Xiong Xiong open, Cong Xing expounded Fuchang, Du Harmonic instigated Yu, and expanded Ji Yu Zhenxiang.

Han Fu said, Chong Fan Zheng Kaixu, Rong Mo Lang Jingkui, Qi Shao Yu Hao, Ling Xu Wei Wei.

Shen Fu said, Ji Youquan Xunyun, Tian Hui Hui Hui, Xiang Yuan Zhu Hui Wei, Gui Bi is clear and high.

Anfu said, Fei Xubin Ting, Ning Qin Jun Zhixiang, restore the strict order, meticulous outline.

Tang Mansion said, Qiong Zhi Mi Universe, Shuo Qi Yu Linju, Qi Ling Meng Song Body, Jiali Association inscription.

Yingfu said, Wei Wen Shen Wang, Zhen Zhen Xuan, Qilin Yu Jizhao, Kui Yong Ye Xuanji.

Yifu said, the reluctance to admonish, the Fengchen, should be awarded the election, Kunyu crown spring gold.

The king of Jingjiang said, praise the Zuo Xiang Statute, through the state to serve as Heng, if according to the pure line, far away from the name.

Why is King Jingjiang a bit of an exception? It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang has three elder brothers, all of whom died early, and only the eldest Zhu Xinglong has a son named Zhu Wenzheng. Zhu Wenzheng's son is Zhu Shouqian. At that time, when Zhu Yuanzhang was crowned king, the Jingjiang Kingdom was based on Zhu Xinglong, the king of Nanchang, as the ancestor, Zhu Wenzheng as the second, and Zhu Shouqian, who was the first to be crowned the king of Jingjiang, as the third.

Zhu Shouqian, the king of Jingjiang, was the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang, so the treatment of him and the successor to the throne was equivalent to the level of a prince, or lower than that of a prince, but higher than the special treatment of a county king. Naturally, you don't need to add the last word in your name next to the five-line word.

So Emperor Jianwen is called Zhu Yunwen, and his son is called Zhu Wenkui.

The son of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is called Zhu Gaochi, and so on.

There are exceptions, such as Zhu Xiongying, the king of Yuhuai, who is the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang and the eldest son of Zhu Biao, but he was born in 1374, and at the time of the name, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet formulated this rule. However, this Zhu Xiongying died in 1382, so he was posthumously crowned King Yu Huai, otherwise it would not be Zhu Yunwen's turn to be Emperor Jianwen.

Let's look at Tang monks and apprentices, they all have five element attributes. Jinmu, water, fire and earth, Sun Wukong - Zhu Bajie - Jade Dragon - Tang Seng - Sha Seng.

Unify the above content together, and you can have a better understanding of Tang Seng.

Lao Wu just used the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang to map the Tang monks and apprentices separately, and the mapping is quite complicated, and it is easy to fool the reader and bewilder.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't realize that the five elements are certainly born together, and there are times when they are mutually restrained. The struggle of Lao Zhu's descendants turned out to be an amazing coincidence with the five elements.

When we look at the protagonists in Journey to the West, they are all very complex and contradictory, confused, and we can't tell what kind of character these people are. Especially Sun Wukong, not only will he change seventy-two times, but his own nature is also seventy-two changes, which is confusing.

In fact, the five mapped characters of Tang monks and apprentices are not single individuals, but are all blended together by multiple emperors (princes and princes), so it seems that Wukong is like "four dislikes" (not only that, but even Rulai, Maitreya Buddha, many kings and the Jade Emperor are also interspersed with Tang monks and apprentices to map those Ming Dynasty emperors, so at a glance, it is called a mess).

Let's sort out the specific mapping relationship. Wood, Zhu Bajie reflects Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Youji, water, Jade Dragon reflects Zhu Jianji, Zhu Jianshen, Fire, Tang Seng, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi, Tu, Sha Seng, Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zaiyuan, Jin, Sun Wukong, a little special, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu.

Caesar believes that the core mapping should be Zhu Yuanzhang (Monkey King), Zhu Yunwen (Tang Xuanzang), Zhu Di (Zhu Bajie), Zhu Zhanji (Sha Seng), and Zhu Jianshen (Jade Dragon).

In the end, the five saints of Tang Seng returned to the truth, this truth, of course, has the meaning of Buddhism's return to the truth, but in fact, it is the final merger of many Ming Dynasty emperors (the core is Sun Wukong-Zhu Yuanzhang) to pin their hopes on the next Jin, Zhu Lingjun. Lao Wu's intentions are good, but Zhu Lingjun can't feel it.

Let's analyze the jade dragon first, of course, if you analyze it from the surface, the jade dragon is a battle within the West Sea and the North Sea, about the dispute between the prince of the dragon king, the jade dragon lost to the third prince of Moang, and was almost killed, but Lao Wu is using the jade dragon to reflect the merger and cross image of Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen.

As early as in the eighth chapter of Journey to the West, the appearance of the jade dragon.

The Bodhisattva and the wooden fork resigned from the enlightenment and came to the clouds and mist. As he was walking, he saw a jade dragon calling in the air, and the Bodhisattva approached and asked, "What kind of dragon are you, and you are guilty here?" The dragon said, "I am the son of Ao Yan, the dragon king of the West Sea, because I set fire to the pearl of the palace, my father played the heavenly court and sued for disobedience." The Jade Emperor hung me in the air, beat me three hundred, and was punished in a few days. I hope that the Bodhisattva will come to the rescue. When Guanyin heard this, he collided with the wooden fork in the Nantian Gate, and Qiu and Zhang Ertianshi followed and asked, "Where are you going?" the Bodhisattva said, "The poor monk wants to see the Jade Emperor." The Second Heavenly Master was busy playing, and the Jade Emperor went down to the palace to greet him. The Bodhisattva stepped forward and said, "The poor monk led the Buddha's decree to go to the east to find the scriptures, and when the road was suspended by the evil dragon, he came to play, spare his life, give the poor monk, and teach him to do a leg with the person who learned the scriptures." When the Jade Emperor heard this, he sent a decree of forgiveness, and sent the heavens to liberate and send it to the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva thanked him. This little dragon kowtows to thank him for the grace of life and obeys the Bodhisattva's call. The Bodhisattva sent him in the deep stream, just waiting for the person to come to learn the scriptures, turn into a white horse, and go to the West to make meritorious contributions. The little dragon was ordered to sneak in.

At this time, Yulong first mapped Zhu Jianji's. Because Zhu Jianji died young, but he can be regarded as robbing his cousin Zhu Jianshen of the crown prince. Lao Wu was very merciful to him, so he arranged it. After listening to what the jade dragon said, the Bodhisattva hurried to heaven. At this time, the two Heavenly Masters had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly played the Jade Emperor. As soon as the Jade Emperor heard the Bodhisattva's plea, he immediately granted it. It shows that the Jade Emperor did not intend to slaughter the Jade Dragon at all, but instead came to test whether the Bodhisattva needed to find someone to learn from the Eastern Land. In fact, Lao Wu is hoping that Zhu Jianji can be reincarnated to achieve positive results.

When it came to the fifteenth chapter of Journey to the West, Tang Seng Wukong came to the Eagle Sorrowful Stream of Shepan Mountain and met the Jade Dragon. At the time when the Bodhisattva turned the jade dragon into a horse, the mapping relationship of the jade dragon was transferred to Zhu Jianshen's body.

After Yulong joined the scripture-learning team, there was basically nothing to do, which was to be Tang Seng's mount. But in the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, the jade dragon still showed its nose.

It's that Tang Seng has become a tiger, Sha Seng was arrested, Bajie is still hiding, and Yulong has no choice but to come forward to face the Kuimu wolf.

When the jade dragon saw the monster drinking and eating human flesh, he turned into a palace lady and poured wine for the monster. Xiaolong took the pot and poured the wine into his jar, and the wine was three or five points higher than Zhong, let alone overflowing. This is the water forcing method of the little dragon envoy.

That's not all, Xiaolong continued to hold the pot, only poured it, the wine was only high, just like a thirteen-story pagoda, full of sharp tips, and not spilling some whiskers.

This is to tell us that the attribute of the jade dragon is water. Maybe Lao Wu has another deep meaning, but it's really hard for us to guess.

Lao Wu also lost it, and buried Zhu Jianshen for a few words. Kuimu Wolf asked Xiaolong to sing a tune, and Yulong sang it, and then danced the sword, and as a result, he fought with the monster, but he was not Kuimu Wolf's opponent, so he chiseled it and ran away.

But he said that the little dragon had returned to the stable, and had become a horse, and had fallen under the trough. The poor body was covered with water, and there were scars on his legs, and at that time, the imaginary apes were all lost, and the golden male and wooden mothers were all withered. Huang Po's injuries and losses are separated, how can moral dissipation be achieved!

After understanding that Yulong had mapped Zhu Jianshen, he understood why Lao Wu was so emotional.

Hakuba stops Bajie's attempt to break up and suggests that the monkey be asked to return. Xiaolong said, "He will never beat you, he is a benevolent and righteous monkey king." When you see him, don't say that the master is in trouble, just say that the master misses you and coaxes him to come. When he sees such a plot here, he will definitely not be angry, and he will definitely compare with the goblin, take the goblin, and save my master. ”

Most of what Yulong said was not bad, but during the period, Bajie had to stimulate the monkeys, and Wukong came down the slope to the donkey.

Basically, the whole book, that is, the close-up of the jade dragon in this paragraph, and later, after sprinkling some horse urine, it was nothing.

This is also understandable, so Zhu Jianshen was the crown prince twice, and after he became the emperor, nothing major happened to the country, and there is nothing to write about.

However, according to historical records, Zhu Jianshen was loved by Taoism and Buddhism, and paid more attention to Buddhism, and once crowned the lamas in Tibet. During Zhu Jianshen's Chenghua years, 140,000 monks were approved to become ordained ordained, and 36,000 were not approved (once every ten years), totaling 180,000, which was about 45% of the total number of monks at that time. For example, in 1467, the monk Solid Ba asked the emperor to grant Jinghai as a permanent residence, the Duke of Jiashan wanted hundreds of hectares of land in Wen'an, and King De asked for more than 4,000 hectares of land in Shouzhang, and Zhu Jianshen agreed. So some ministers advised him, and the emperor also promised not to encroach on the people's land in the future. But soon, the Empress Dowager's younger brother Qingyunbo Zhou Shou asked for more than 460 hectares in Zhuozhou, and Zhu Jianshen agreed again. So the ministers of relatives wrote one after another, Yisheng's wife Liu asked for more than 300 hectares of land in Tongzhou and Wuqing County, and Changning Bo Zhou Yu asked for more than 600 hectares of Wuqiang and Wuyi land, and Zhu Jianshen agreed.

So the minister replied again, but Zhu Jianshen didn't listen. On the contrary, some upright opposition ministers were sent to prison, so that the officials were negligent and begged for mercy. But since then, the Huangzhuang industry has been out of control, and finally it has become a factor in the rapid increase in the number of displaced people. The harm of Huangzhuang, it can be said, began with Zhu Jianshen.

And in Zhu Jianshen's Chenghua years, luxury and pleasure became the norm, (his son Zhu Youzhi is better, but he pampers his son Zhu Houxie too much, so he retains a lot for his happiness) set a model for his grandson Zhu Houxiu, Ming Wuzong is carried forward on the basis of Zhu Jianshen's legacy, and Ming Shizong is no exception, and he also inherited this glorious tradition.

Throughout the Chenghua period, corruption and clarity coexisted, Taoist Buddha blossomed everywhere, and luxury and frugality echoed each other.

Maybe Lao Wu arranged for the jade dragon to be a horse for Tang Seng to ride?

Then Kui Wood Wolf and Princess Baihua are likely to reflect a son-in-law and princess of Zhu Jianshen. Judging from the history of the Ming Dynasty, the most consistent ones are the concubine Duwei Jingshan Hou Cui Yuan and Princess Yongkang. It's a pity that there are too few records in it, and it is difficult to correspond to the main content in Journey to the West.

Cui Yuan married the princess but it was during the Hongzhi period, and later in 1521, Zhu Houyu succeeded to the throne, and Cui Yuan made a contribution because he went to meet Zhu Houyu to succeed to the throne. Jiajing made him the Marquis of Jingshan, which the Ministry of Rites considered unruly. It is the duty of a courtier to welcome the Son of Heaven, so how can it be regarded as meritorious service? He was also made a marquis, and there is no precedent for this. Jiajing said that in the Yongle period, when Emperor Taizong (Zhu Di) obtained the throne, Wang Ning, the commander of the horses, was named the Marquis of Yongchun because of his meritorious service, how to say that there is no allusion. Many ministers thought it shouldn't, but Jiajing didn't listen.

Later, Cui Yuan was also arrested and imprisoned because of his unusual relationship with Zhang Yanling, but Cui Yuan was released soon after.

Ming Shi said that Cui Yuan liked to make friends with literati and artists. And Jiajing trusted him very much, so the other ministers and relatives didn't dare to say anything. The Ming Dynasty's concubine did not make any military merits but was able to become a marquis, and this example was broken from Cui Yuan.

However, this Kuimu wolf also has the image of many others. For example, Wang Zhi and Seng Jixiao.

Wang Zhi, the leader of the West Factory. He was originally a Yao Min of Datengxia, but when he was a child in 1467, he was captured as a prisoner of war and sent to the palace together with the girl Ji Shi (the biological mother of Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youji) and became a eunuch and palace maid. He was captured as a young child and entered the palace. Wang Zhi first served Wan Guifei, and then received favor and was promoted to the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.

In 1476, there was an abnormality in the palace (it is estimated that there was a solar eclipse at that time, and there was black gas in the palace), so the eunuch Wei She took Li Zilong into the inner house privately, and secretly didn't know what to do, but was caught and slaughtered by the Jinyi guard.

But this incident touched Zhu Jianshen. So the emperor appointed Wang Zhi to be responsible for investigating various situations, and later because Wang Zhi was very set, he set up the West Factory, and Wang Zhi became the commander.

Since then, Wang Zhigong has made a lot of achievements, so the West Factory was abolished and rebuilt soon after. Later, Wang Zhi also participated in many battles to pacify Liaodong and resist the Northern Desert as a supervising army. The war achievements are impressive, and the cronies Chen Yue and Wang Yue are also unambiguous in their battles.

Therefore, Zhu Jianshen gradually became wary of Wang Zhi. Finally, he was arrested and sent to Nanjing to guard the imperial mausoleum.

The demon monk Jixiao, who made trouble during Zhu Jianshen's reign, is said to have turned stones into gold (corresponding to the Kuimu wolf turning Tang Seng into a tiger), catching demons and driving away ghosts. According to the records of the wild history, Zhu Jianshen actually gave many palace maids to Jixiao (Kuimu wolf had fun with eighteen palace maids in the Yin'an Hall of Baoxiang Kingdom, and also ate one; Kuimu wolf claimed to have had an affair with the maid of the Heavenly Court Phi Xiang Palace).

However, Ji Xiao was so nonsense, Zhu Jianshen did not kill him, but protected him on the contrary. Finally, in the early years of Ming Xiaozong, this demon monk was slaughtered.

Or maybe that's why Lao Wu arranged for Yulong-Zhu Jianshen to have a fight with Kuimu Wolf, so he was injured. The identity of this Kuimu wolf is very complicated. It is not only a Taoist immortal in the heavenly court, but it is also colluded with Buddhism (it can be seen from the words of the Wuchao Zen master, "Carefully black pine forest, demon fox more interception"). The black pine forest is the area where the Kuimu Wolf Cave Mansion is located, and this demon fox is actually a demon wolf.

About the two sons of Kuimu Wolf and Princess Baihuasha, they were killed by Bajie Sha Monk. This plot is really difficult to find limited historical data to support. Lao Wu must know something, but unfortunately the times are far away, and the truth of history is slowly submerged. can only vaguely guess that Zhu Jianshen did not be ruthless to some traitors but maintained more, so Zhu Youzhu (Bajie) could only wipe his buttocks.

In short, Zhu Jianshen, the emperor, is similar to the Kuimu wolf, both of which are complex complexes. It is difficult to make a final judgment on right and wrong.

In the thirty-seventh chapter of Journey to the West, the prince of Wuji Kingdom is a reflection of Zhu Jianshen when he was the first prince (1449-1452). Because at this time, Zhu Jianshen was the crown prince, but the emperor was his uncle Zhu Qiyu. Therefore, Lao Wu described the crown prince and the queen mother in the book as suspecting that the emperor was fake, which caused some stories.

Then Yulong's character is the combination of Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen. Lao Wu used the jade dragon to ask Guanyin for help pitifully, expressing his pity for this young child who died early, maybe he should not have been born in the emperor's family; Its fate was also bumpy at first, but later it was weak but tenacious. He doted on Wan Guifei in every way and took more care of his family. is used for both loyalty and treachery of ministers, and he is a typical "good old man". He is also half-diligent and half-lazy in government affairs, and he is even more merciful and indifferent to the people.

The history of the Ming Dynasty commented on it more pertinently, and finally said that when Ming Xianzong was in power, there was "the disaster of the women's temple is terrible". At this time, it was explained that Zhu Jianshen doted on his concubine Wan Guifei and connived at the demon monks to mess around.

Then Lao Wu's opinion on it is also very complicated, and in the end there is no way, simply, Yulong, you can be a horse, this is really in line with Zhu Jianshen. In the end, Lao Wu arranged for Zhu Jianshen to return to the dragon, but as a warning, he coiled on the Huabiao pillar, hoping that Emperor Wanli could take it as a warning.

Next, let's continue to discuss others, please listen to the next nonsense.
