On the second day of the seventh month of the thirteenth year of Zhengde, Emperor Zhengde ordered "Zhu Shou, the chief military officer of the special governor-general, the mighty general of military affairs, to lead the six armies to the expedition" on the grounds that there were many things in the border passes of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Gansu.

The ministers resolutely admonished him, but after all, they could not stop him from going on patrol.

Three days after the above decree was delivered, another edict was sent to the Ministry of War.

The edict said: "Zhu Shou, the powerful general of the governor's military affairs, personally commanded the six divisions, exterminated the captives, quickly swept away the bloody blood, reassured the people and protected the people, spread majestic, cleared the border, and added a noble lord to repay his work." Today, the mighty generals, dukes, and Yulu are still known to the officials and the second department of the household. ”

Emperor Zhengde himself added the official title of "general and chief military officer" to himself, and also proclaimed himself a duke.

Later, it was set as 5,000 stones of rice in the old Zhilu rice, and it was brought to the Governor's Mansion of the Later Army.

In the fourteenth year of Zhengde, Emperor Zhengde gave "Zhu Shou" the title of Taishi, and asked "Zhu Shou" to go to the north and south of Zhili, Tai'an Prefecture in Shandong and other places to worship the holy statue and offer incense and silk, and pray for the blessing of the people.

Yang Tinghe, a scholar, and other hundreds of officials once again admonished this absurd behavior, but Emperor Zhengde did not listen.

Emperor Zhengde was proficient in Tibetan language, also learned Tibetan Buddhism, proficient in Buddhist scriptures and Sanskrit, and could personally put on monk's clothes and chant sutras with Tibetan monks.

He also built a monastery on a large scale, favored and reused Xingji Bandan, Luo Zhu Pandro, Lama Lingzhu, Sanzhu and other Tibetan monks, and heard that the 7th Karmapa Chozha Gyatso had a prophecy that "in the future, the Dharma will be divided into two factions", and the black hat said that "Emperor Zhengde, the Son of Heaven, and the manifestation of the imperial body at the same time, that is, the birth of the eighth generation of the Venerable One, and the ascension of the Son of Heaven to Leo at the same time."

Emperor Zhengde then crowned the black hat cloud: 'I am a karmapa'".

Emperor Zhengde crowned himself with the title of "Daqing Dharma King Xijue Dao Yuanming Freedom Dading Abundant Buddha", ordered the Ministry of Rites to cast a gold seal for it, and gave the edict, and signed an edict in the dual name of the emperor and the Daqing Dharma King.

This myth is also actively echoed within the Kagyu tradition.

Emperor Zhengde learned the palindrome of palindrome, whose Arabic name is Shaji Aoran, which means "young king" in Persian or "brave king" in Turkic.

And as the "Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, Sultan Suleiman Khan", he appeared on the porcelain exported from the Zhengde Dynasty in various Arab countries, declaring his authority.

Emperor Zhengde learned Mongolian and named it "Kublire".

He also asked the palace people to make Mongolian fur hats, fur furs, skirts, and socks, which were worn by the eunuchs around them, and were commensurate with "Tartars", and they rode horses and galloped all day long, and even did not return to the palace at night.

The stability of the north made Emperor Zhengde finally spare his energy and set his sights on the south.

In a fatal case in Qiantang, Zhejiang, the deceased was stabbed five times in the body, and the knife was fatal, and the Qiantang County Order concluded that the person committed suicide.

After reporting to the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department found that the case was unreasonable and rejected the retrial.

Afterwards, after the retrial, the Hangzhou government still reported it as a suicide, and the criminal department rejected it again and reported it to Dali Temple, and the case was heard by heaven and entered the emperor's field of vision. Emperor Zhengde, after learning about the case, was furious: "How can anyone kill himself with five knives in his body?" Want to compare me to Jinhuhu? ”

So he ordered a thorough investigation of the Hangzhou prefect and the Qiantang County Order, and finally found out that the murderer was the wife and nephew of the Qiantang County Order.

A discerning person can see that a strange murder case requires the emperor's decision to be retried, which shows how much the rule of officials in Jiangnan has been eroded.

Zhu Houzhao's determination to rectify the Jiangnan officialdom has become even firmer.

In June of the 14th year of Zhengde, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, who was far away in Nanchang, Jiangxi, rebelled.

On June 13, Zhu Chenhao's birthday, Jiangxi Governor Sun Sui, Inspector Wang Jin, Jiangxi's three officials and commissioners Ma Sicong, Jin Shan, and Guangxi Politics Ji Yu entered the palace to celebrate, and His Royal Highness King Ning quietly held a banquet to entertain.

The next day, Sun Sui and other officials entered the palace again to thank the banquet.

Zhu Chenhao took the opportunity to order hundreds of guards with armor and knives to surround them.

Zhu Chenhao claimed that there was a secret decree of the Queen Mother, pointing out that the reigning Emperor Zhengde came from the people, not the blood of the Zhu family. Emperor Zhengde was deceived by others, so that "my ancestors are not blood-eaters for ten or four years", the Queen Mother was furious when she learned the truth, and secretly summoned him to Beijing to set things right.

Sun Sui, who usually helps Zhu Chenhao say good things, finally lived up to the court at a critical moment, and stood up and questioned Zhu Chenhao sharply, saying that the Queen Mother had a will, and he, as the governor and minister, should be heard of and asked him to show the secret edict.

When the Empress Dowager Zhang was the biological mother of Emperor Zhengde, how could she give King Ning such a thing as a slap in the face. According to the deputy envoy of the Prosecutor Xu Kui's reaction was even more intense, and Zhu Chenhao, who was annoyed and angry, ordered him to be executed.

The magistrates, who had long been corrupted, were stimulated by the butcher's knife and bowed their heads one after another, saying long live.

Zhu Gongzhang, the king of Yichun, Zhu Yuan, the king of Ruichang, and other clans obeyed their orders.

Seeing that things were going well, Zhu Chenhao was arrogant, and planned to be the emperor and change the yuan to Shunde.

However, this was dissuaded by his two major strategists, Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng, who raised people, with "At the beginning of the incident, there is no hurry". It was decided to take the "Great Ming Dynasty" as the year, and then call the emperor after conquering Nanjing.

Immediately, Zhu Chenhao sent people to recruit troops in all directions, and sent messages to Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, asking all localities to respond to him.

After the incident, Zhu Chenhao was in Nanchang to pay homage to the generals.

He appointed Min Twenty-four, Min Twenty-eight, Ling Shiyi, Wu Shisan, Wan Xianyi, Wan Xian Er, Xiong 14, Xiong 17, Yang Qing, and Fan Feng as commanders and other officials, and led the troops with Ning Fan and Tu Qin.

On the 16th, the rebels broke through Nam Kham.

On the 17th, Jiujiang was captured, and the mouth of the Yangtze River was opened.

On the 27th, the rebels approached Anqingfu, an important town in the upper reaches of Nanjing, and besieged it.

In just over ten days, such brilliant results were achieved, which can be described as overwhelming, and also revealed that the fighting strength of the Ming army in Jiangnan was weakened.

It seems that the situation is very good, Zhu Chenhao ushered in his nemesis: Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren was the governor of Nanjiang at the time, and before the incident, he was ordered to go to Fujian to investigate, because Zhu Chenhao's birthday was approaching, as a Jiangxi magistrate had the obligation to celebrate, so he chose to take a boat to enter Fujian via Nanchang.

As a result, because of the strong wind on the way, he could not rush to Nanchang on time to congratulate King Ning on his birthday.

When he arrived in Fengcheng County, the local magistrate Gu Yan told him about his change.

Wang Shouren was shocked, and knew better that he was an important target that the other party wanted to get rid of, so he abandoned the boat and took a small boat to hide his tracks, and turned back to Ganzhou.

Zhu Chenhao, who couldn't chase him, was helpless.

On 18 June, Wang Shouren and Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, announced that they had raised troops to rebel against the rebellion and moved to various places near and far.

Wang Shouren is well-known in Jiangxi, and the deputy envoys Luo Xun and Luo Qinde, Lang Zhong Zeng Zhi, the imperial historian Zhang Aoshan and Zhou Lu, the commentator Luo Qiao, and the same knowledge Guo Xiangpeng have responded to the news.

To the imperial history of Wang Maozhong, despite the fact that his son Wang Min was detained by Zhu Chenhao and was awarded an official position, he was in a place of suspicion and came to serve.
