Taichang time and space, the night is peaceful.

There was only the sound of thunder and thunder, which resounded through the heavens and the earth.

However, for Taichang Time and Space, which is in the autumn rain, this thunder and this gust of wind are all diffused in the majestic rain, and they have not attracted much attention.

With the thunder passing by, Ji Boying appeared in this East Warm Pavilion.

The person stood halfway to the couch, calmly looking at Emperor Taichang who was lying on the couch, with no breath.

Judging from the appearance of the eyebrows and eyes alone, this Taichang Emperor is very different from Zhu Changluo, the crown prince of Wanli Time and Space, after all, the two are the same body in time and space, but there is a lot of difference in complexion.

The crown prince of Wanli time and space, when the spring breeze is proud, his complexion is ruddy and shiny.

And this one in Taichang time and space, half dead, looks like the whole person may ascend to heaven at any time.

Ji Boying's appearance did not attract the attention of Emperor Taichang, after all, this guy only had his last breath left, and his eyes were only staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking back to his past thirty-nine years, he was embarrassed.

At this moment, all the eunuchs in this warm pavilion have also withdrawn, this January Son of Heaven obviously wants to be quiet, but he doesn't know if Jingjing is born now.

According to the original historical process.

In a few days, the famous red pill will be officially launched.

'Whoever benefits, who masterminds. ’

In line with this principle of the logic of crime.

Ji Boying stared at the half-dead Emperor Taichang, frowning slightly, thinking about the question of the death of Emperor Taichang.

There is a high probability that even if he asks Emperor Taichang himself now, he himself doesn't know what's going on.

At least judging from the process recorded in the history books, this Taichang Emperor himself was dead in a daze the whole time, and he was a tragic political victim.

And if you want to analyze who benefits, you have to start from the situation at the end of Wanli.

The court at the end of Wanli was roughly divided into three forces.

The first share, the five parties headed by the Zhejiang Party (Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Kun Party, Xuan Party, Chu Party).

The second share, representing the Donglin Party of the Jiangnan gentry.

The third share, Zheng Guifei (Fu Wang's mother), can also be called the Fu Wang Party.

Among them, the five parties and the Fuwang party are relatively close, and the two are relatively loose political alliances, while the Donglin Party is in a state of long-term suppression by the other two parties.

This can be clearly seen from the fact that the head of the cabinet in the late Wanli period was Fang Congzhe, the head of the Zhejiang Party.

If the lack of officials is not filled, the lack of officials will not be filled, and Lao Wanli is not stupid, and his heart is like a mirror.

He knew that Fang Congzhe handed over the list of supplementary officials, most of whom were also members of the five parties, and if all of them were approved, not to mention the white-collar workers' own money, they would have to make the five parties dominate the DPRK and China.

The power struggle between the three factions can be traced back to the first case of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the attack case that occurred in the 43rd year of Wanli.

The general process of the attack is as follows: A 'martial arts master' named Zhang Cha doesn't know how this thing quietly broke through the strict internal defenses, aside from force, in terms of this light skill, at least it is at the level of stealing the Holy Bai Zhantang.

Zhang Zhantang held a wooden stick in his hand, and forcibly entered the Ciqing Palace where the prince lived with his own strength, invincible all the way, no one could stop him, and he actually went straight to the front hall of the prince, and almost went head-to-head with His Royal Highness the crown prince, and was finally taken down by the prince's inner servant Han Benyong in the front hall.

When Emperor Wanli learned of this, Thunder was furious and ordered the Imperial City Imperial History and the Criminal Department to interrogate.

At the time of interrogation, when Zhang Thief Sheng confessed that he was instructed by the eunuchs Pang Bao and Liu Cheng under Concubine Zheng, Emperor Wanli suddenly changed his attitude.

The final result: Zhang Cha was executed, Pang Bao and Liu Cheng were executed by Lao Wanli's secret order, and after the clues were broken, the whole case could not be investigated, and a case of attack was finally closed.

For this attack case, later generations have different opinions, some say that Zheng Guifei wanted to kill Zhu Changluo and pave the way for her son Zhu Changxun, and some say that this is Zhu Changluo's carefully planned trick to protect the position of the prince.

To analyze this attack, the first thing to determine is who is the ultimate beneficiary behind this attack?

Judging from the current results, it is obvious that Zhu Changluo and the Donglin Party in the DPRK and China supported him.

Let's look at it again, the last of the three major cases, that is, the palace removal case.

The general process of the palace transfer case is as follows: after the death of Emperor Taichang, he had a good relationship with Concubine Zheng Guifei, and was favored by Emperor Taichang, Xi Li Xuan, united with Wei Zhongxian, and detained and tied Zhu Youxiao to live in the Qianqing Palace together, wanting to control the government.

The Lin Party in the Middle East of the DPRK was furious, but the five parties led by Fang Congzhe did not make any movement, as if they acquiesced in the behavior of Xi Li's election of the servant.

Yang Lian, Liu Yixiao and other Donglin parties forcibly broke into the Forbidden City, carrying the sticks of the eunuchs, crying and rushing into the Qianqing Palace.

The final result: Li Xuanzhi was forced to leave the Qianqing Palace with the eighth daughter of the emperor, and failed to take power, and then the Donglin Party won a complete victory, and it continued to be reused, and the Donglin Party rose in the early years of the Apocalypse.

Combined with the two cases of the attack case and the palace removal case, let's take a look at the most critical Red Pill case sandwiched in the middle.

Before we do that, let's be clear.

From the 38th year of Wanli officially named the Donglin Party, in the later period of Wanli, the Donglin Party was the absolute princeling, and more than 100 officials were dismissed that year, and they also desperately kept Zhu Changluo's position as the prince.

After Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, he immediately recalled Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party, and promoted a number of cabinet ministers and six departments to fill the vacancies, most of whom were also Donglin Party members, and directly set up Fang Congzhe.

In addition, the Donglin Party has always pursued the tenet of 'not our party's people, their hearts can be punished'.

As long as the Donglin Party is in power, the other parties in the DPRK and China will inevitably be finished one by one, and for a while, everyone will be in danger, and the Five Parties and the Fuwang Party will be suppressed in the court.

And it was at this time that Emperor Taichang died suddenly, the palace transfer case occurred, the Donglin Party was like ants in a hot pot, and the Five Parties and the Fuwang Party sat and watched Xili seize power and were indifferent.

After figuring these out.

Then, finally, let's look at the details of the Red Pill case.

(1) On the day of his accession to the throne, the arrows were like the wind - (2) Zheng Guifei offered eight beauties - (3) Emperor Taichang was in charge of the dragon for several nights, and his qi and blood were empty - (4) Zheng Guifei's confidant Cui Wensheng prescribed laxatives to treat Emperor Taichang, and Emperor Taichang had diarrhea 43 times a day - (5) Li Kezhuo of Honglu Temple offered red pills - one red light overflowed - (6) Two saw Taizu.

From (1), it can be known that at the beginning of Emperor Taichang's ascension to the throne, the whole person was still in a state of dragon spirit and tiger, and there was no illness at all, which is also remembered very clearly in the history books.

Subsequently, it was inferred from (2), (3), and (4) that the spearhead of this murder suspicion was obviously pointed at Zheng Guifei.

But, here's the problem.

If Emperor Taichang dies, will the Fuwang Party led by Zheng Guifei benefit?

No matter which angle you look at, you will get an answer, no.

Because according to the ancestral inheritance system, Emperor Taichang had more than one son, and these sons were already more than ten years old.

So even if Emperor Taichang dies, no matter how the throne turns, it will not be the turn of the Fuwang Zhu Changxun, as long as the throne is still in the Zhu Changluo line, it is impossible for the Fuwang Party to rise in the court.

Looking at (5) and (6) again, this is the final process of the Red Pill case, and the focus is mainly on Li Kezhuo, the person who presented the Red Pill.

For Li Kezhuo, there are several questions:

1, why did Fang Congzhe first strongly recommend Li Kezhuo to Emperor Taichang, and then persuaded Emperor Taichang not to take red pills, and to stand up again, this action is full of extremely obvious formalism.

2, Li Kezhuo was pulled up by Fang Congzhe, and took advantage of Emperor Taichang's order to supplement the official and promoted Li Kezhuo to the position of Honglu Temple.

3, after Emperor Taichang died after taking the red pill, why did Fang Congzhe reward Li Kezhuo in his will.

4, in the second year of the Apocalypse, after the Emperor of the Apocalypse took power, Li Kezhuo was exiled by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

5. What exactly is a red pill?

Finally, let's make a hypothetical.

If Emperor Taichang succeeds in taking power in the palace transfer case after the death of Emperor Taichang due to the red pill, who will be the beneficiary?

Obviously, if this process continues, the Donglin Party will eventually be eliminated, and the Five Parties will occupy the court.

Ji Boying's mind flew over the content of these party struggles.

Ming died in party struggle, and what he said was true.

Judging from these inferences, Taichang's death is most likely due to the fact that the five parties united with the Fuwang Party and reached some common political demands with each other, in order to control the court situation, destroy Donglin, and sacrifice Emperor Taichang.

Of course.

Here, it's not that the Donglin Party is so good.

When the Donglin Party was first founded, it was quite conscientious, but with the late Apocalypse, after the Donglin Party became powerful, these Jiangnan gentry began to be demons.

First of all, I blindly engaged in regional discrimination in the court, not to mention, if it is not my Donglin, I will be driven away.

Then, he began to make a lot of demands on the emperor.

Finally, it is also regarded as one of the reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty.

The Donglin Party blatantly cut the commercial tax, and the heavy position of the Ming commercial tax is Jiangnan.

As a result, Jiangnan is rich, and the gentry eat a mouthful of fat one by one, but the imperial court can't even collect a single cent of commercial tax.

To put it bluntly, these Donglin parties don't want to pay taxes to the imperial court, and they are all insatiable.

Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse is a carpenter, he is more or less a person with brains.

From the very beginning, the Donglin Party was reused, and after discovering that these Donglin Parties began to do no work one by one, they immediately launched Wei Zhongxian and suppressed the Donglin Party with Wei Laogou, and the five parties led by the Zhejiang Party also invested under Wei Laogou.

Then, under the frenzied suppression of the Donglin Party by the 'Eunuch Party', the Jiangnan commercial tax was forcibly levied, and the Jiangnan tax slowly began to be collected, and the treasury had some silver to store grain.

Partially.

When Daming finally had a glimmer of light.

Emperor of the Apocalypse, easily soluble in water.

Immediately afterwards, Chongzhen, this kid, was directly fooled and lame by the Donglin Party, and he really believed it completely, and returned directly to the pre-liberation period overnight.

The Donglin Party has risen completely, the taxes in Jiangnan can no longer be collected, and the poor treasury can't even afford to drink pearl jade and white jade soup.

"Heaven, Heaven, Providence ......"

On the couch.

Emperor Taichang looked at the ceiling and muttered weakly.

He can even imagine how many jokes he will leave for future generations.

"Want to live?"

A voice sounded in this warm pavilion.

The moment the words fell, Emperor Taichang, who was lying on the couch, was stunned, and looked at it with difficulty, and a figure that he had never seen before came into view.

"You, you... You are? ”

Weak and suspicious.

"If you want to live, listen to me."

Ji Boying stood calmly in place, staring at Emperor Taichang on the bed.

It is necessary to thoroughly understand this red pill case.

The best way is to let Emperor Taichang continue according to the original historical script.

Then after watching Emperor Taichang's 'death', take a look at the changes in this court situation with your own eyes.

As long as a person dies, all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will come out, and it can also verify Ji Boying's guess and reasoning about the Red Pill case in his heart.

Of course, for the sake of Emperor Taichang's life insurance, Emperor Taichang can't be allowed to take risks in person, and he has to find someone to replace him.

"I, why should I believe you?"

Emperor Taichang stared at Ji Boying.

Actually.

He believed in his heart.

After all, in the original history, this Taichang Emperor had already chosen to break the jar in the end, and knocked it when he caught the red pill.

Swish.

There was a figure that suddenly appeared beside Ji Boying.

Emperor Taichang, who was lying on the imperial couch, saw this figure, especially the moment he saw that face, his pupils shrank sharply.

Obviously, he looks in the mirror a lot, so he knows what he looks like.

"This, this, this ......"

On Ji Boying's side, Zhu Changluo, who was suddenly summoned from Wanli time and space, appeared with a confused face, and when he saw 'himself' on the royal couch, his pupils shrank sharply, and he took two steps back.

"Immortal Master, this, this ......"

The two Zhu Changluo, looking at each other, opened their mouths and were speechless, and both of them couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"You guys, change it."

Change?

Hearing this, both of them were stunned, how can this change? Swap yourself for yourself?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zheng and Li Xuanzhi are here to see you outside."

At this moment, outside the door, the voice of a eunuch came.

Zhu Changluo, who was lying on the imperial couch, suddenly showed a look of pain on his face when he heard these two names.

In the days after he fell ill completely, he was tossed half dead by these two women, and he didn't even have a good night's sleep.

These two women, one is the favorite concubine of Emperor Wanli, and the other is the favorite concubine of Emperor Taichang.

After Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, these two women somehow got together and praised each other.

Zheng Guifei asked to make Xi Li the empress, and Xi Li asked to make Zheng Guifei the empress dowager.

Emperor Taichang was really noisy, and finally chose to support the sick body to go to the court, convened the ministers, and discussed the canonization, the Ministry of Rites did not agree to the queen, and only reluctantly agreed to canonize Xi Li as the imperial concubine, but Xi Li did not obey, and was determined to be the queen, but he walked out of the noise directly behind the curtain, making the whole court restless.

Moreover, this Xi Li also did an extremely tough thing, that is, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he beat and humiliated Wang Cairen, the biological mother of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, to death.

After the incident, Xi Li did not receive any punishment from Zhu Changluo, but also obtained the custody of Zhu Youxiao.

Thinking with his feet at this moment, Emperor Taichang could also guess what these two women were doing.

"Well, change."

Ji Boying said lightly.

A thought.

Instantly.

Emperor Taichang, who was on this sickbed, disappeared in an instant, and was brought back to Hongwu time and space by Ji Boying for treatment.

"Immortal Master, this, this..."

Wanli Zhu Changluo looked at the empty imperial couch, looking confused and a little overwhelmed.

"Isn't it nice to let you get through the emperor's addiction in advance?"

Ji Boying glanced at this Wanli Zhu Changluo, let your kid enter the role in advance, are you still not happy? Can you make a little difference?

"Huh?"

"Okay, okay, okay."

Zhu Changluo nodded hurriedly, and then sat on the imperial couch a little nervously.

After all, every time I used to watch my dad sit on it, I only knelt next to me.

Well, King Fu is standing.

"Xuan."

Zhu Changluo said a word.

The door of the East Warm Pavilion was pushed open with a babbling sound.

Ji Boying stood calmly on the side, he also wanted to see what kind of style the two most powerful women were in the Wanli Taichang Dynasty.

Take a look at the depth and try the length.
