Chapter 52 A few people can find out right and wrong, dead and alive
readx; said that Sanzang was sent out of the cave by the goblin, and Wukong also jumped out and fought with the goblin again. As a result www.biquge.info the two monks of the Bajie Sha Monk ignored the master, rushed to catch up, raised the nail palladium, made the treasure staff, and hoped that the goblins would fight indiscriminately.
The goblin used the stand-in method again, deceived the three brothers, and arrested Tang Seng himself. Sun Dasheng's heart was so anxious that he couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, and he shouted loudly, "Master, I left others and horses when I went, and when I came back, I only saw these ropes!"
Wukong's tears are very strange. I don't know what Lao Wu is feeling?
Bajie persuaded the monkey that Wukong would save people again.
I didn't want to find Tang Seng this time, but I saw an offering table behind it, offering a big gold plate, which read "Respect for the position of Father Li Tianwang", and slightly more often wrote "Respect for Brother Nezha's Third Prince".
So Wukong was happy, and he wanted to go to Heaven Jade Emperor to sue for a royal complaint. When he arrived outside the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court, the Great Heavenly King and the Heavenly King of the Protector of the Heavenly Gate saw the walkers, and they all bowed their backs, not daring to stop him, and let him in.
Nantianmen has been guarded by two Heavenly Kings this time, why?
The content behind is familiar to everyone, Nezha said the reason, it was the rat spirit who stole the fragrant flower treasure candle of Rulai. Li Tianwang caught the monster, but as he commanded, the water will not be fished, and the deer will be fed in the mountains to live forever, sparing his life at that time. With this kind of kindness, worship the father and the king as the father, and worship the child as the brother. His own origin, called the golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit; because of stealing incense flowers and treasure candles, he changed his name to be called Bantruan Guanyin; now he spares him in the lower realm, and he has changed it again, and he is called Mrs. Diyong.
Banju Guanyin and Dichong Nasturtium are actually a plant of the Banana family, but it is not clear what else is said.
Wukong put Diao and rolled Salai, but Venus was relieved. But there is a saying in Tai Bai Xing, "You were strange in Huaguo Mountain back then,...... It is the old body, and the decree is ...... to recruit peace" Then the word old body generally refers to elderly women, of course, in ancient times, it can also be understood as an old body. Still, it feels weird. The word "old body" appears in the book, which is what Taiyin Xingjun calls himself. Therefore, it is certain that Taiyin Xingjun is a goddess immortal. But Tai Bai Xing is obviously an old man, why did Old Man Wu write this? I am afraid that it is just that Tai Bai Xing is temporarily reflecting the image of a Ming Dynasty woman, and it is very likely that it is an allusion to the third queen of Jiajing, Fang Shi.
Later, Jin Xing said, "Teach Li Tianwang to order troops, go down with you to subdue demons, and I will reply to the decree." "How do you reply?" Jin Xing said, "I only said that the plaintiff escaped, and the defendant was hands-free." ”
Here Venus is still foggy.
The king of heaven is afraid that the monkey will sue in front of him and behind his back. But Wukong gave the king of heaven a reassurance, let Venus go back to the reinstatement, and Nezha father and son went with him to catch demons.
To be honest, it's really nonsense, what does Lao Wu want to express.
When everyone came to the bottomless pit, the monkey said, "This hole is called a bottomless pit, and there are more than 300 miles around, and there are many fairy holes." My master was in the gatehouse with two drops of water before, but this time it is quiet, and there is no ghost, and I don't know where to move. ”
This "gatehouse of two drops of water" is a bit puzzling. Dripping water actually refers to the number of layers of the eaves, divided into one drop of water and three drops of water, three drops of water are generally used in royal buildings, although some ethnic minorities also use them, but that is an exception. Or Lao Wu is just mapping three drops of water, and he doesn't dare to write it openly. It can barely be used to prove that this rat spirit reflects a certain Jiajing's concubine.
Li Tianwang's father and son caught the monsters very smoothly, but it was very strange, not only the rat spirit was not killed, but none of those little monsters were killed, and they were all captured alive.
The little monster was not killed, which is very suspicious. It shows that Lao Wu thinks that these monsters are excusable.
Then everyone rescued Tang Seng, and the master and apprentice continued on the road.
So who does this rat spirit reflect, it is estimated that it should be the combined image of Concubine Cao Duan and Concubine Wang Ning.
The history of the Ming Dynasty specifically recorded some details, "(Jiajing) twenty-one years, the palace maid Yang Jinying and others plotted to rebel, and the emperor was saved from it, and his father Tai and Borui Jue were the marquis. At the beginning, Concubine Cao was colored, the emperor loved it, and she was named Concubine Duan. It's the night, the emperor's palace is Duanfei. Jin Ying and others served the emperor to sleep, and in order to form the emperor Xiang, they were mistaken for a dead knot, and they were endless. Governor Zhang Jinlian, a colleague, did not settle and left after the report. After galloping, ungrouped, Emperor Su. Later, he ordered the internal supervisor Zhang Zuo and other palace arresters to be miscellaneous, Yan Jinying and others were rebellious, and Wang Ning was the first concubine. He also said that although Concubine Cao Duan did not agree, she also knew how to conspire. When the emperor was ill and couldn't speak, it was later rumored that the emperor ordered to collect Duanfei, Ning Concubine and Jin Ying in the city, and punished more than ten people from his clan. However, the concubine really didn't know. After a long time, the emperor began to know his grievances. ”
This is to say that Concubine Cao Duan was the most favored concubine in the middle of Jiajing, because she was too good-looking, she was jealous of Queen Fang at that time, and took advantage of the great opportunity of "Renyin Palace Change", but it happened that the emperor had not yet recovered, so Concubine Cao Duan was involved, saying that it was Wang Ningconcubine's mastermind, Yang Jinying and other palace maids were the murderers, and Concubine Cao Duanfei did not report it. So in the end, Queen Fang executed all these people, broke their bodies into thousands of pieces, and threw them in the downtown area.
Concubine Cao Duan's death was very unjust, and there are few records about her in history, but it is mentioned that she had two daughters. One is Zhu Shouyuan, the princess of Chang'an, who died at the age of fourteen, and the other is Zhu Luyuan, the princess of Ning'an, who was raised by Shen Guifei. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, the princess married Li He, gave birth to a son Li Chengen, and then progressed to the eldest princess.
After carefully seeing Princess Ning'an later marrying the Li family, I roughly understood why Li Tianwang's father and son spared the lives of the monsters in Journey to the West.
Wang Ningconcubine, there are very few records in history, but she is the mastermind of the palace change. But why she murdered the emperor, I really can't find a motive, I can only say that maybe she is the most pitiful unlucky bastard.
Empress Fang of Jiajing at that time, and it is also recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty that she was the third queen of Jiajing. At first, she didn't have a name, because Jiajing had been the emperor for ten years, but she had no children and descendants. Therefore, Zhang Xuan (Fu Jing) went up and suggested that the emperor recruit ladies. In the chapter, it said, "After the ancient Son of Heaven was established, he built six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives, so the heirs are also." Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is advisable to ask for a lady and plan for the heirs. ”
Zhang Xuan means that the ancient Son of Heaven had a lot of wives (the formal regulation can reach 127), so there are many descendants. This didn't mean much, but it said that the emperor's wife includes the "three ladies", that is, there are three "ladies" customized, which are above the concubines and below the six concubines. Then it is saying that there was a good emperor in the Ming Dynasty, named Zhu Youji. Legend has it that he has only one Empress Zhang, no wife next to him, and is a model of monogamy. Caesar did not agree with this, because Zhu Youzhu had five "ladies". "Mrs. Jingshun Shao, Mrs. Anhe Zhou, Mrs. Anshun Liu, Mrs. Rongshun Meng, Mrs. Rongshan Xiang. Moreover, the overall regulation of these five "ladies" is beyond the ancient conventions.
Therefore, this Empress Fang first won the title of De Concubine, and later became the third queen of Jiajing. saved Jiajing's life in "Renyin Palace Change", so Jiajing woke up and was very grateful to her. But one night in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, the Kunning Palace where she lived caught fire, but Ming Shizong did not allow the fire to be extinguished, so Empress Fang and many palace maids were burned to death.
This is suspicious, as there is no record of whether there were survivors. So we speculate that there is no one alive. Therefore, there must be something strange about this fire and it should be man-made. Then it is very likely that Jiajing intends to put him to death.
Later, Jiajing said, "The queen is more dangerous than saving me, and she will be buried in the future." "That is to say, the queen once saved me, so her funeral should be according to the specifications of the original queen.
Yan Song, a scholar and others, suggested that Empress Fang's spiritual seat be placed next to Empress Yurui (the earliest empress of Jiajing). Jiajing was very unhappy, how could there be such a reason.
But Yan Song said that this yin should not occupy the yang position, it is the rule. So I still put Queen Fang's spiritual seat next to Queen Rui. Then it is also saying that Yan Song in 1547 is still commendable. Later, when Xu Jie also faced a similar problem, under Jiajing's strength, Xu Jie had no choice but to compromise and obey the emperor's orders. Later, because there were too many officials who were killed and blamed, when Jiajing continued to assert himself arrogantly, all the ministers basically stopped talking.
In addition, Yan Song once suggested that the emperor be diligent and thrifty in 1561, which can also show that Yan Song is not so flattering to the emperor as people imagined, but it was Xu Jie, who really blindly flattered Jiajing later.
It is also said that after Concubine Cao Duan and others were executed, Jiajing also recovered some health soon after. After a few years, Jiajing didn't know why she suddenly remembered Concubine Cao Duan, maybe it was Concubine Cao Duan's daughter Princess Zhu Shouyuan, who had grown up at this time, and was about 12 years old. Then when Jiajing saw her daughter, she missed her mother.
When I think about it, I feel like the palace is haunted. Jiajing consulted Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's answer should be caused by Concubine Cao Duan's unjust soul.
Empress Fang has been out of favor for many years, Jiajing in order to be able to feel at ease, in order to be able to live forever, or what else to think, or Empress Fang has done something that makes the emperor dissatisfied with her own merits, it is estimated that Jiajing on one night in November 26, brazenly ordered someone to set fire to Empress Fang and her palace maids (if it is inferred from this, then Xu Jie can also be regarded as the murderer of Empress Fang and others? This is a great ability, because Jiajing obviously loves this Princess Chang'an very much. Even two years later, Zhu Shouyuan died, so he dropped out of the dynasty and issued an edict to hold a grand funeral).
It hadn't been a few days since Empress Fang died, and at this time, it happened that Zeng Mi Shangshu asked for the recovery of the Hetao area, and by the way, he also impeached Qiu Luan and went to prison.
At this time, Jiajing was already quite taboo about the eunuchs and palace maids around him, so he moved to Xiyuan. His temperament must have been greatly affected, and the killing of Zeng Milling Xia Yan can even be implicated in the "Renyin Palace Change" and the "Kunning Palace Arson Case".
Jiajing naturally wanted to recover the Hetao at first, so he ordered the ministers to discuss one or two. also promised Zeng Mo to send Qiu Luan to prison, which shows that the emperor does have the heart to protect his family and defend the country at this time.
However, at the meeting, there were too many voices in favor of recovering the Hetao, which on the contrary aroused Jiajing's suspicions. What is this for? Is it so easy to recover the Hetao? Is Zeng Miao's appeal so strong? How can Xia Yan, as the first assistant, not have any doubts at all? Could there be any conspiracy among so many people who are in unison? Are they linked together to form a faction?
At this time, Zeng Mo bribed a few eunuchs around the emperor and asked them to say good things to him, so that he could persuade Jiajing to agree to recover the Hetao. Jiajing was very suspicious, worried about Zeng Miao's intentions, so he proposed, "Is the recovering Hetao division famous? Is there any surplus strength in the soldiers, there is a surplus of food and fruits, and is it inevitable that it will succeed?" ”
The scholar Yan Song knew the emperor's attitude as soon as he heard it, this was because he was afraid that Xia Yan and Zeng Mo would be in tandem. I can't hold on any longer, if I still wade into this troubled water, all three of them will definitely die. Then Yan Song's self-preservation is understandable.
So Yan Song played, "The Hetao must not be restored, and the courtiers all know the fallacy of the repetition, but they are afraid of Xia Yan's ears."
Sure enough, Jiajing quickly issued an order, Xia Yan privately recommended Zeng Miao, regardless of the safety of the country, the life and death of the people, and the strong monarch threatened the people. Stop and revert to the Hetao, Jinyi Wei quickly arrested Zeng Milling to Beijing, and the officials of Kedao Yan all looked at the scepter and seized the money in April.
Jiajing has already been frightened by the people around him, coupled with his distorted heart, and he burned Queen Fang not long ago, so he is very worried that the military generals and civil officials will collude, and he does not hesitate to ignore the great rivers and mountains left by his ancestors, and unjustly kill Xia Yan Zeng Mill, and anger the Yanguan, in order to deter the ministers and prevent trouble.
Xia Yan and Zeng Mo did not die in the hands of Yan Song, but died at the hands of Jiajing, who was frightened by the palace maid and gave birth to evil gall, this is certain.
It's a pity, it's not the right time to play. The "Renyin Palace Change" and the "Kunning Palace Arson Case" exacerbated and distorted Jiajing's mentality, including the killing of Yang Jisheng and others, all because he saw that many of his ministers were "too united".
analyzed the children of Emperor Jiajing and the harem, and found some clues. Jiajing had four queens, the earliest queen was Empress Chen, then Empress Zhang, then Empress Fang, and finally Empress Du.
When Empress Chen was still alive, she became pregnant. But at this time, the remaining three were still concubines, and none of them were pregnant.
The suspicious place came, one day in the seventh year of Jiajing, when Jiajing and Empress Chen were chatting together, Zhang and Fang suddenly came and let Jiajing taste fragrant tea. At this time, Jiajing became interested, so he took the second concubine's hand and touched it. Of course, Queen Chen was jealous, she had a bad temper during pregnancy, and she hoped that her husband would spoil her. So Queen Chen couldn't stand it anymore and dropped the teacup in her hand.
In this way, Jiajing's face couldn't be hung up, so he was furious, and maybe reprimanded the queen a few times. Then Empress Chen was frightened and died soon after a miscarriage.
Of course, being frightened may cause such a tragedy, but we have to pay attention, is there something wrong with this tea? Is it that Fang Zhang Erfei added something to it? Even if it doesn't, then Fang Zhang's second concubine suddenly came at this time, and people can't help but wonder, what are they doing here?
Empress Chen died, and Concubine Zhang became the queen. But in less than two years, the emperor abolished it, put it in the cold palace, and died mysteriously two years later. Maybe it's because he has no children, maybe the emperor is tired of it, or maybe he was framed by something.
In this way, Concubine Fang successfully became the queen. But she never gave birth to a son and a half daughter to Jiajing, and the year was 1534, the fifteenth year of Jiajing.
Let's skip the fourth queen first and look at Jiajing's children. Empress Du will talk next.
In 1536, Jiajing's wives gave birth to children or became pregnant, but most of them died young. In 1537, the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth sons all died in less than a month. Comparatively speaking, the five daughters born between 1536 and 1541 were much luckier, and the shortest lived 12 years. Compared with the two, heaven and earth, and after 1537, Jiajing had no son.
This situation is very suspicious, why are the four princes so miserable, and the fate of their daughters is much better?
It is easy to think that there is a reason for things, and it should be noted that 1534-1547 was the period when Empress Fang ruled the harem.
Queen Du is relatively lucky, when Jiajing elected concubines in the ninth year of the world, she was drafted into the palace at the same time as Empress Xiaolie, Concubine Zheng Xian, Concubine Wang Guifei, Yan Guifei, Wei Hui Concubine, Concubine Shen An, Concubine Lu Jing, and Concubine Shen. In the fifteenth year, she was promoted to Concubine Kang, and in the sixteenth year, she was born to Zhu Zaiyuan, the third son of Ming Shizong. In 1547, Empress Fang was burned to death, and Du became the last Empress of Jiajing, who died in 1564.
But Emperor Jiajing has never liked her very much, and perhaps it is for this reason that her son Zhu Zaiyuan lived the longest, and finally inherited the throne in 1566.
So through the analysis of Jiajing's children, we can also see why Jiajing's personality changed greatly after 1541 and began to take some medicines. It should be that Jiajing wants to have a few more healthy sons, but the means he takes are very inhumane. Following the advice of Shao Yuanjie and others (of course, this suggestion itself cannot be regarded as despicable, it is ancient, and the problem lies in how to collect raw materials), and many girls were summoned from the people to enter the palace, collect early morning dew, and use the dew to make ginseng soup to drink. How much dew does this need? Many palace maids couldn't bear it, and resolutely launched a palace change. As a result of the palace change, Jiajing backfired, and no new children were born from then on. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?
Maybe the cause of the incident was because Jiajing was not in good health, wanted to aphrodisiac fitness, and wanted to reproduce. However, by analyzing the situation of Jiajing's children and analyzing the lives of the first two queens of Jiajing, it is not difficult to find that Empress Fang is indeed very suspicious in many aspects, including the innocent murder of Wang Ningfei and Cao Duanfei after the palace change. Then Jiajing later managed to burn him to death, which should be for a reason, and perhaps understandable.
After the "Renyin Palace Change" occurred, Jiajing was unconscious, although he was rescued by the imperial doctor, but he was very weak and could hardly speak, so who would investigate the case and deal with the results of the incident, only Jiajing's Empress Fang presided over the overall situation, and the specific handler was handed over to some eunuchs.
Then go back to the Journey to the West book and associate that Wukong went to heaven to complain, and found that Nantianmen was actually guarded by two heavenly kings, indicating that the situation in the heavenly court was critical, and the atmosphere was extremely tense; But what's interesting is that everyone didn't take the Jade Emperor's words seriously. It's all about how to solve the problem. Only Li Tianwang was afraid of what kind of basket he would make, but he also patted the monkey's chest and guaranteed the ticket, so he openly went his own way and let the treacherous and cunning Tai Bai Xing go to the decree alone. Tai Bai Xing must now be a reflection of Queen Fang, and her methods are also very vicious. Lao Wu is really damaged, Tai Bai Xing is a Taoist immortal, and he is also a collusive and colluding member of Buddhism, and he actually reflects the image of a woman.
Combining this situation with the "Renyin Palace Change", you can understand why Heavenly Court is so nervous, and why the Jade Emperor doesn't take care of things very much. Because it was Empress Fang who hid from Jiajing, she regarded this palace change as the best time to get rid of competitors.
The "Renyin Palace Change" itself is not simple, and its subsequent impact is even greater. So whose fault it is, it's impossible to say. It can't be those poor girls, right? So the biggest culprit is none other than Jiajing. From one point of view, Jiajing is also a poor person, from his heart, Jiajing was the emperor in the first 20 years, and he did not make any big mistakes. He honors his parents, although he has taken a lot of radical measures, but it is also a matter of course, he is not Sun Wukong, he did not jump out of the stone, he is a living person, and he was raised by his mother and father. Emperor Jiajing was gifted and intelligent, but his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness! It was Jiajing's overly selfish character, and it was Jiajing's hope for the so-called immortality that killed many innocent people!
Then Old Man Wu must have seen through a little bit, and he hated immortality, especially the emperor's prayer for immortality, so he advised the emperor and the world to truly cultivate his own mind.
Perhaps Lao Wu wrote the ginseng fruit in the shape of a newborn baby, where is this immortality, it is clearly cannibalism! At the beginning of Journey to the West, it was said that people are born, and they must include innocent showmanship, and the day and the moon are beautiful. Monsters like to eat people, and the accumulation of small amounts can reduce the cultivation time and achieve immortals as soon as possible, but after becoming immortals, they still can't change the habit of eating people. Most of the monsters are stupid, so they have to eat people even more, and they eat what they eat. It's like a carp essence, which specializes in eating boys and girls, and I'm afraid one reason is that it can make you smarter and more like a human being. However, what is the final fate of the carp essence, it may become a dish, a pot of nourishing dishes, just like the chicks raised by Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty who grew up eating Jindan.
Finally, let's talk about Jiajing and Hai Rui, because Hai Rui scolded Jiajing a few months before Jiajing's death. made Jiajing very annoyed and thrown into prison.
Hai Rui, the word Ruxian, is honest and willing to be poor. Later, the imperial court asked him to go to Chun'an to be a magistrate, and on his mother's birthday, he improved his food. A governor once said to others, "Yesterday, I heard that the sea order was the mother's birthday, and the city meat was two catties." At the same time, I can't help but sigh and admire, and at the same time, I can't help but think that how can an official like Hai Rui be really reused by others? Just like Zhu Bajie said, teach me to knock the wind! It is better to eat fat and greasy.
In February of the 45th year of Jiajing, Hai Rui went up and said, "Your Majesty is talented and decisive, and he is far more than Chinese." But His Majesty could not persist for a long time, and later insisted on cultivating the truth, exhausting the people's fat, indiscriminately building civil engineering, ignoring the court for more than 20 years, and the law and discipline were relaxed. The two kings did not see each other, and people thought that they were thinner than father and son. Slander and insult your subordinates with suspicion, and people think that they are thinner than your ministers. Le Xiyuan does not return, people think that it is thinner than the couple. The officials are corrupt and the officials are rampant, the people are not able to make a living, the floods and droughts are timeless, and the thieves are thriving. Your Majesty is trying to think about the world today, why is it like this?"
When Jiajing saw it, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he hurriedly ordered others to catch him quickly, and don't let him escape. Later, Jiajing also thought that Hai Rui was too right, but his health was not very good. But he still threw Hai Rui into prison, saying that it was because Jiajing suspected that Hai Rui was instructed by someone, but the specific reason is unknown, perhaps because he wanted to keep his son and prepare to reactivate. Not long after, Jiajing died, and before he died, he knew that he couldn't do it, so he issued an edict to let the people who execute Wang Jin and those Fangshi and others be deceitful to live forever. Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne, and Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng released Hai Rui.
But when Hai Rui heard that Jiajing had died, he was so sad that he fell to the ground and cried all night. Why, Jiajing is indeed a smart emperor and has the qualifications to be a generation of masters. Hai Rui is not so much crying for the emperor, I am afraid he is also crying for himself. Because Hai Rui knows that I am afraid that Zhu Houxi's son will not take a fancy to himself, and Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and others are even more so.
Hai Rui also knows his own problems, and only a generation of British masters can endure it, and can value and appoint it. For example, Hai Rui suggested re-emulating some of Zhu Yuanzhang's systems, peeling the skin and filling in the grass or something, but which emperor dared to do this? It can be seen that only figures like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di dare to implement it. Hai Ruisheng was born at the wrong time, and his illusions about Jiajing are too high and too big, although Jiajing is also a talent, but it is far from being as good as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. It is true that the mind can be practiced, but it is more important to train the mind.
If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next nonsense.
