There are many emperors in the past who wanted to pursue longevity. Among them, Ming Shizong Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houhuang is also considered the leader. Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with alchemy techniques to survive, and spent most of his life energy on cultivating the Tao and seeking immortality. He appointed Taoists to search for rare medicinal materials to make alchemy, and he also ate a lot of all kinds of strange and weird things. It is said that the renyin palace change was initiated because he collected the menstrual blood of the palace maids to make medicine, which was unbearable for the maids to initiate?
Ren Yin Palace Change, also known as Palace Lady Killing the King, Zhang He, who was the chief of the Ministry of Justice at the time, wrote the book "Zhou Ji" after his retirement, which recorded this incident in detail, even the Palace Lady Dialogue. Described. According to official historical records, this happened because Jiajing Emperor wanted to "inhale the wind and drink the dew" to become immortal in order to live forever. Just plant a few bananas in the palace, "Every morning, the broad leaves will be covered with nectar, and when the mouth is dry in the morning, suck a few slices, you can feel sweet and refreshing, and there is a saying of prolonging life and longevity." Emperor Jiajing Indulging in this method, he ordered the maids to collect a large amount of nectar for him to drink. Ri Ri ordered the maids to gather the dew in the imperial garden in the early morning, causing a large number of maids to fall ill due to exhaustion.
But in ancient palaces, from the emperor and concubine to the general manager and grandmother, the leaders of these maids often made things difficult for the maids. They just collected the dew, which led to the possibility of the maids rushing to assassinate the emperor. Sex should not be great.
Therefore, in some historical data, it is believed that the Renyin Palace change happened because the emperor used the blood of the palace maid to make medicine for longevity. According to records, the elixir used by Emperor Jiajing at that time included and red lead.The so-called autumn stone is actually a virgin urine with its head and tail removed and refined into crystals such as refined salt; while red lead is refined into cinnabar with the menstrual blood of a virgin. At that time, the pill that Tao Zhongwen offered to Emperor Jiajing was called "Xiantian Pill Lead", and the method of refining it was "taking the virgins from the beginning of the moon to refine them like cinnabar".
The Emperor Jiajing may think that the "Xiantian Danqian" service is effective, so he began to choose folk girls to enter the palace. According to records, starting from the 19th year of Jiajing , the number of palaces selecting show women to enter the palace has greatly increased. Are these girls selected into the palace used for refining medicine? How it is used for refining medicine is also unknown in historical records. But if they really used their menstrual blood to refine the pill, then they must have been insulted and tortured. There is also a record that the first menstrual blood of a thousand girls is taken at the same time, but how can a thousand girls be taken at the same time? , It is possible to let the palace lady take hormone drugs to promote the coming of her menarche.
In the poems written by some literati, one can glimpse some of the tragic experiences of the palace ladies at that time. Ming man Wang Shizhen lamented the fate of these virgins in his "Xicheng Palace Ci", saying: "The two horns are blue and red, and the rhinoceros has never been able to pass. He is a prolonged life medicine from his origin, and he is haggard in the spring wind and rain." Shi Menglan from the Qing Dynasty wrote "Quan Shi Gong Ci", to Ming Shizong said: "Tai Chi clothing comes in, the spring breeze is haggard and the tower is closed. Yuyan Kong pre-liang's family chooses only to make medicinal materials for Yannian." Now, it is quite possible that this incident will cause Renyin Palace to change.
