Chapter Seventy-Four: The Kingdom Will Fall, and the Demons Will Rise (I)
Last time, he said that after urging the carpenter to the capital, he used the "exorcism" method to obtain obvious results, and at this moment he was lurking in the office of the first assistant minister Fang Congzhe.
"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat!" After the eunuch shouted a duck, the "Emperor of the Apocalypse" Zhu Youxiao finally completed the most torturous work of the day. ———— "The ministers send Your Majesty back to the palace!" Seeing this, all the civil and military officials hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and they must not reverse the mood of the emperor Lao Tzu.
"The emperor drove back to the palace!" The attendant eunuch continued to scream at the bullduck's throat. Of course, the emperor Lao Tzu will also go to the "Yongshou Palace" where he lives without squinting, accompanied by a group of palace maids, accompanied by a personal brocade guard, but he is entangled in his heart whether to see the nurse or be a carpenter first?
"Yongshou Palace" is located in the Forbidden City, is a Ming Dynasty palace building, belongs to one of the "Inner Court West Six Palaces", is located in the south of "Yikun Palace", "Qixiang Palace" east, is the harem from the "Yang Xin Palace" nearest to a palace, built in the Ming Dynasty Yongle 18 years (1420 AD).
"Yongshou Palace" was originally named "Changle Palace", but it was renamed "Yongshou Palace" in the 44th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1616), probably because Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor of Mingshenzong, hoped that he could live a long life and live a long life like a fairy. As everyone knows, before this, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty lived in the "Qianqing Palace".
"Qianqing Palace" is one of the three palaces after the inner court, was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420 AD), the scale is large, the shape is majestic, the materials are excellent, the design is ingenious, the structure is reasonable. The grade of the painting, the characteristics of the ornamentation, the use of colors, and the process are deliberately depicted, and the highest grade is used.
The architectural layout of the "Qianqing Palace" is carried out in strict accordance with the "divine authority of the monarch", infiltrating the theory of "Yin and Yang Five Elements", and the "Confucian etiquette system" and "architectural art" are all vividly embodied. "Qianqing Palace" represents both "political power" and "imperial power", symbolizing the supreme "dignity of the monarch", that is, the idea of divine authority of the monarch.
Although the "Qianqing Palace" is unique and irreplaceable in the history of palace architecture in the Ming Dynasty, and is irreplaceable in terms of historical value, artistic value, architectural value, etc., it is unfortunate that it has been destroyed by fire three times, and then rebuilt, and is thought to be ominous by the latecomers, so that the emperor does not dare to live.
"Taifu, you can go home first, don't wait any longer." After Zhu Youxiao came down from the court, he immediately changed into a person, no longer a monarch sitting in a high position, but an ordinary man: "I want to go to greet the nurse first, and when I come back, I will continue to make a bed, I'm afraid I don't have time to listen to your nagging today." ”
"Your Majesty, you can't put the cart before the horse and waste government affairs!" Fang Congzhe thought of the deterioration of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, the political situation was turbulent, and the people were not able to make a living, so they could not sleep and eat, and he couldn't help but remind worriedly: "The emperor is still young, and it is understandable to play with the focus, but he can't be controlled by others?" ”
"Subject to others? Taifu's words are wrong! Zhu Youxiao sneered disapprerovingly: "I think that when my father was alive, he only knew how to play with women and alchemy to eat, and as a result, he was overindulged and died!" However, did he ever care about my studies during his reign? It's good now, I've become illiterate, whose fault is it? ”
"Uh...... The emperor is angry, angry. Fang Congzhe saw that Zhu Youxiao was unhappy, so he quickly changed his words: "The first emperor was also forced to do so, after all, he was not valued by Emperor Wanli of Shenzong when he was young, and he was only established as the crown prince by chance, and he only became the emperor for one month and drove to the west of the ......."
"Okay, okay, don't say anything! I'm worried about it. Zhu Youxiao complained: "If it weren't for the nurse's hard work to bring me up, how could there be anything to do with you first ministers?" It's good now, knowing that I can't even write my name well, and I still have to let me personally correct it? ”
"Uh...... The emperor was angry, and the old minister knew his mistake. Fang Congzhe said with embarrassment: "If the emperor doesn't want to correct the folds in person, he can also let the old minister do it for him, after all, the old minister is a scholar!" If the emperor insists on letting the eunuch Wei Zhongxian use the excuse to go to the 'Holy Mother' to correct the folds on his behalf, I am afraid that something big will happen sooner or later! ”
"Okay, okay, what else can happen? Isn't he just a eunuch? Is there such a thing, are you afraid of making the nurse's belly bigger? Belch...... Bah! ”
"Uh...... In this case, the old minister has nothing to say. Take care of the emperor, the old minister is waiting for you to return in the 'imperial study'. Fang Congzhe bowed and left alone. But Mingxi Sect Zhu Youxiao felt strange in his heart, he couldn't say that he liked or hated this old man, he just didn't want to listen to his nagging.
Zhu Youxiao thought to himself, maybe this is because his interests and hobbies have deviated from the public eye, and his cultural level is low, so he doesn't like to read, right?
In fact, as the most famous "carpenter" master in the "emperor group" in history, Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong also seems to be very dissatisfied with his current identity.
However, compared with Zhu Youxiao's physical state and hobbies of Mingxi Sect, his Laozi Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo is surprisingly interested in women. When Zhu Changluo had not succeeded to the throne, the frail "sick prince" was too good and womanly, and he couldn't sleep almost every night when he left the woman's arms.
In July of the forty-eighth year of Wanli (1620), Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong died. In August of the same year, Zhu Changluo, who was inexplicably "became" the crown prince, ascended the throne, and then let go of the seven emotions and six desires, entertained night and night, without moderation, and especially liked to play various "double cultivation" games with concubines and palace maids.
Among them, there is a concubine who is mainly responsible for her husband's death, that is, Zheng Guifei, who once failed to fight for the crown prince for her son. After Zhu Changluo became the emperor, Concubine Zheng suddenly seemed to be a different person, and began to like her husband, the new emperor, and sent a few show girls to her husband every night.
Concubine Zheng didn't have a good heart in this move, she just wanted to squeeze her husband dry as soon as possible and kill the emperor! So, she personally drafted for the emperor's husband, presented beauties, and sent several beauties in one night, so that her husband, who was not in good health and was middle-aged, couldn't stop, and was really killed in less than a month.
If Zhu Changluo's disease of Mingguangzong is regarded as "excessive sexual intercourse" according to the medical perspective of later generations. If he can make a decision immediately, stay away from women, recuperate, and slowly recuperate, he will not die so quickly. What's worse is that Cui Wensheng, the eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy, gave the new emperor a fierce medicine at this time.
It is said that this Cui Wensheng was originally a confidant eunuch next to Concubine Zheng Guifei, and he took a large dose of fire laxatives to the emperor, and Ming Guangzong had diarrhea countless times after taking it that night, and his condition deteriorated sharply. Despite this, this lustful and addicted "sick and weak emperor" still did not refuse to come, and he was already terminally ill.
On August 28, although Zhu Changluo, who was dying, knew that he was going to die, he was very sober, and not only invited the ministers in, but also encouraged them to fulfill their duties and be loyal to the court. At the same time, he asked the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Youxiao, to come out to see them, which was quite a sign of trust.
