Ming Shenzong and Zhang Juzheng: Why did the obedient "good student" behave ruthlessly after the teacher's death?
Text: Lao Zhang is on the road
01
The Great Ming Long Nian In May, Ming Mu Zong Zhu Zaiyi was seriously ill. The emperor called Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Gaoyi three ministers and made a will: "Will and the crown prince. I do not hesitate, the emperor do it. You should do it yourself. If you have this subject, please do. You have to follow the guidance of the three ministers and the supervision of courtesy, study morality, use the sages to enable, be free from negligence, and protect the emperor's career."
Zhu Zaiqi is dying Among the three previously appointed ministers of Gu Ming, Zhu Zaiqi obviously valued Gao Gong more. He only held Gao Gong's hand and said: "Mr. Tired by the World". Mr. Lao, your son’s business will be yours. At this time, Gao Gong is the head of the cabinet, that is, the chief cabinet bachelor.
Zhu Zaiyi gave the heavy burden to Gao Gong because of the old feelings between them. Gao Gong is a native of Xinzheng, Henan. He received strict tutoring since he was a child. At the age of seventeen, he came to the hometown with the "Book of Rites", but later wasted 13 years on the road to imperial examinations before he was admitted to the Jinshi and elected as the Shujishi. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing (1542), he was appointed as editor and editor of Hanlin. After nine years of exams, he was promoted to Hanlin. In the thirty-first year of Jiajing (1552), Yu Wang Zhu Zaiyi opened his residence to receive experience, Gao Gongshou was elected and entered the mansion to give lectures.
Gao Gong spent nine springs and autumns at the Mansion of King Yu. During the nine years, Gao Gong taught the banquet and used things carefully. King Yu was very much taught. The two established a deep relationship between kings and ministers, teachers and students.
Emperor Sejong Jiajing died, Zhu Zaiyi succeeded to the throne as emperor, sealed Gaogong as Shaobao and Prince Taibao, and entered the cabinet as a bachelor of Wenyuange University.
In the fifth year of Longqing (1571), the first assistant Li Chunfang begged to rest and returned to the fields, and Gao Gong took over. Because of Zhu Zai's trust, Gao Gong became more arrogant. It didn't take long for Jiufu to be excluded by Gao Gong except Zhang Juzheng.
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng met when they were serving in the Imperial College. They were friends at the beginning. However, one thing changed the future of the two of them. On the day of Emperor Jiajing’s death, Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the imperial court at that time, only called his protégé Zhang Juzheng to write together Jiajing’s will, without notifying Gao Gong’s opponent, who was already a cabinet minister. , Gao and Zhang were suddenly at odds. In the fifth year of Longqing, Gao Gong's cronies also rumored that Zhang Juzheng had accepted Xu Jie's thirty thousand taels of silver bribes.
Zhang Juzheng secretly formed an alliance with Feng Bao, the eunuch Bingbi who was dissatisfied with Gao Gong.
After Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, Zhang Juzheng instructed Shenzong's "big companion" eunuch Feng Bao to be behind the imperial concubine Li and Chen Huang. A sentence that Gao Gongzeng said in the cabinet: "How can ten-year-old prince rule the world!" "It was changed to "10-year-old child, how to be the master."
That was a time when the new emperor sent someone to ask Gao Gong’s opinion. Gao Gong was at his strongest at this time. He did not know whether he was fainted or confused for a while. Say: "You professed the imperial decree. This is what a ten-year-old kid said. Can you convince me that a ten-year-old kid can really govern the world?"
In any case, this sentence is politically incorrect, and it is not what people should say. How could the new emperor and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces be indifferent after hearing such words?
In the summer of the sixth year of Longqing (1572), one day a hundred officials gathered at the gate of the palace, and an eunuch declared: Gao Gong conspired to support the king, the imperial concubine and the Chen empress urged Gao Gong to have no authority. The edict: "Today there are scholars and scholars who are authoritative and political, To take the imperial wealth and wealth from the master, the emperor is not allowed to dominate the master. I don't know what he wants? My mother and son were panicked. Go back home and live freely, no stay! "
Gao Gong was driven back to his place of origin. Zhang Juzheng served as the first assistant, Zhu Yijun was young, and all military and political affairs were decided by Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng (May 24, 1525-July 9, 1582), the name of Shuda, the name of Taiyue, the young name of Zhang Baigui, the military status of Huguang Jingzhouwei (Jingzhou City, Hubei Province). Born in Jiangling County, hence the name "Zhangjiangling".
It is said that before Zhang Juzheng was born, his great-grandfather had a dream: In the dream, a full moon fell in a water urn, shining bright all around, and then a white turtle came from The water slowly floated up. The great-grandfather believed that White Turtle was the little great-grandson, so he gave him the nickname "Bai Gui", hoping that he would be a ancestor in the future.
Jiajing 19th year (1540), Zhang Juzheng Successfully passed the rural examination and became a juvenile juror. In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing (1547), the 23-year-old Zhang Juzheng was the ninth jinshi in the top two, and he was awarded a custody of custody and entered the official career.
In the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564), Zhang Juzheng entered Gongyouchunfang Youyude and the Department of State Supervision, Xu Jie recommended Zhang Juzheng as Yu Wang Zhu Zaiyi's lecturer At this time, Gao Gong, who was 13 years older than Zhang Juzheng, had left the Yuwang Mansion.
In the forty-five year of Jiajing (1566), after Gao Gong stepped down, Zhang Juzheng took charge of the imperial court and ranked second. In the first year of Longqing (1567), Zhang Juzheng, as a former minister of the Yuwangfu, served as the Secretary-General Zuo Shilang and Dongge University Fellow, entered the cabinet and participated in the affairs of the court. In April of the same year, he was changed to be the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Fellow of the Wuyingdian University. One of the auxiliary ministers.
From the first year of Wanli to the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng has implemented a series of reform measures during his ten years as the chief assistant of the cabinet. The financial situation is clear and the "one whip method" is implemented. Fu and service are paid in silver, "Taicang millet can be used for ten years, Zhou Temple accumulates to more than 4 million"; military appointments such as Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang and other famous generals in the north of the town, Ling Yunyi, Yin Zhengmao, etc. to quell the southwestern rebellion; In the administration of officials, a comprehensive verification of names and facts is implemented, and officials at all levels are assessed by the "examination method". "Although they are thousands of miles away, they will be followed down at night." The government is solemn. It is called "Wanli New Deal" in history.
For Zhang Juzheng’s historical evaluation, Liang Qichao said: "The only great statesman in the Ming Dynasty. "
黄仁宇:"There is no Zhang Juzheng in the world. ”
熊十力： "People who have been more than two thousand years after the Han Dynasty, really have a sincere heart, a strong spirit, and their foresight and foresight have been deeply rooted in the country’s slavery. On the day when the whole world is faint and safe. Resolutely bear the safety of the world in one suit, work hard without any complaints, do not hesitate to do anything, the soldier can help the crisis, overcome the original situation, and the past history, Jiangling is only one person. ”
However, shortly after the death of Zhang Juzheng, who was deeply favored and sorrowful in his lifetime, he was ordered by his "good student" Ming Shenzong to ransack his house and cut off his palace ranks, forcing him to rob him of his gift. The seal of the seal, the four generations of fate, the world is shown by crimes, and the corpse is almost opened. Family members may starve to death or exile. This change makes future generations dumbfounded.
Ming Dynasty thinker, writer, master of Taizhou school Li Zhi, because of the death of his friend He Xinyin, suspected that Zhang Juzheng instigated the magistrate, and he had never liked Zhang Juzheng. However, when he was treated unfairly after Zhang Juzheng's death, he said: "Jie Ye, Prime Minister of Jiangling, so There is the humiliation of death. "
"The Prime Minister’s Jie" and "The Humiliation of Death", these seemingly contradictory words reveal the tragedy of Zhang Juzheng’s life. .
In this regard, the "Ming Shenzong Records" says: "Deep and alert, more intelligent. And praise politics, resolutely have the ambition to take responsibility. When the master was ordered by the country to doubt, he lived The first assistant, in charge of the great government, persuaded the Shang force to observe the ancestral law, and he listened carefully. Ten years of internal sea dwellings (inside) were cleared, the four barbarians were served, the Taicang millet could be used for several years, and the temple accumulated gold to four More than one million, becoming a Junde, restraining fortune, rigorous examination, comprehensive (verification) of name and reality, clear post, nuclear land acres, and inquiries about economic talents. Unfortunately, small tools are easy to gain, restraint The preacher, relying on the trustworthiness, and Fang Qizhen’s favor, the roots have been broken. The authority swayed the master, and the disaster was sprouting. Why is it that the body is not dead, and the humiliation follows."
《明史》说： "Zhang Juzheng understands time changes and is courageous in doing things. Shenzong's initial administration, rise and fall, can not be said to be a helper. However, the act of authority is more than that of the master, and the death causes misfortune. Behind him. "Shu":'Yue, the ministers succeeded in favoring favor, but you can avoid it!'"
These two official histories of the Ming Dynasty almost unanimously said one word: "Shaking the Lord". "Real Spirit" said: " authoritarian power shakes the lord, misfortune is so cute." "Ming Shi" said: "The operation of authority is more than that of the lord."
There is nothing difficult to understand literally. Among them, "骖乘" needs to be explained:
"骖乘" refers to the person who accompanies the passenger on the right when riding in ancient times. The ancients took the car "Shang Zuo", that is, respecting the left. When riding in the car, the venerable is on the left, the Yuzhe (driver) is in the center, and another person is accompanying the ride on the right. The person who accompanies the ride is called "Li Cheng", whose task is to follow the sage and guard against the overturning of the vehicle. The situation of the military vehicles is different. The commander is in the center and commanding the battle. The master is on the left, and another person is on the right. His task is to protect the commander and eliminate accidents that may occur in the car at any time. This person is called " Car right".
"Book of Han · Wen Di Ji": "It is the order of Song Chang to travel." Yan Shi's ancient note: "The method of riding in a car, the sage is on the left, the emperor is in the center, and another person is on the right of the car to prepare for tilting. In the case of Rong, it is called "Che You", and the rest is called "Li Cheng". "
is too close to the emperor, and companions like tigers; plus the power is too great, has shaken the lord, this is the root of Zhang Juzheng's humiliation behind him!
However, it is not so simple.

Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun (September 4, 1563-1620), the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In the sixth year of Longqing (1572), Ming Muzong died. Zhu Yijun, who was 10 years old (imaginary years), came to the throne. His reign was Wanli. Zhu Yijun reigned for 48 years. He was the emperor with the longest reign of the Ming Dynasty.
明穆宗朱Zaiqi had four sons, the eldest son Zhu Yixi, and the second son Zhu Yiqian died early, the fourth son Zhu Yiyi and Zhu Yijun were both born to the Li family.
On March 11th of the second year of Longqing (1568), Zhu Yijun was Zhu Zaiqi The eldest of the heirs was established as the crown prince.
After Zhu Yijun became the prince, Ming Muzong appointed a group of ministers as instructors to help him study. Zhu Yijun studied very hard, and he often said proudly later: "I can read when I am five years old. ”
Zhu Yijun has some success in reading, first of all he benefited from his biological mother Li.
李氏十At the age of five, he entered the Yuwang Mansion. Because of the birth of Zhu Yijun, he was promoted to a side concubine from the capital (a maid of the palace). After King Yu became an imperial concubine, he became a noble concubine. The queen mother was very strict in disciplining her son. Zhu Yijun was very playful and sometimes reluctant to read. Queen Mother Li summoned him and punished him on her knees for a long time. Every time Zhu Yijun listened to Confucian officials at the Jingyan banquet, the Queen Mother always let Zhu Yijun be on her. In front of me, imitate the lecturer and repeat what he said.
凡到上On the day of the morning, Queen Mother Li came to Zhu Yijun's residence at five shifts and said, "The emperor should get up." She ordered Zhu Yijun to get up and sit down, take water to wash his face, and then led Zhu Yijun out of the car.
Once, Zhu Yijun drank too much wine at the Xicheng Qu Banquet, and ordered the servant to sing a new song to him. The servant refused to say that he would not. Zhu Yijun took the sword to kill the servant. Fortunately, he was persuaded by the left and right to cut off the servant. s hair.
The next day, Empress Dowager Li heard about this, and sent a message to Zhang Juzheng, asking him to seduce him, and ask him to draft a sage for Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun was summoned to punish him, and he listed his faults one by one. In the end, Zhu Yijun was crying and begging to make changes in the future.
Because of the strict discipline of the Queen Mother, Zhu Yijun got older and improved his studies.
The second person who made a big contribution to Zhu Yijun’s growth is Zhang Juzheng. Ironically, Mr. Zhang’s teachings of this emperor’s student, Just in response to that sentence: Plant dragon species and harvest fleas. "
As mentioned earlier, Ming Mu Zong Zhu Zaihao appointed three ministers of Gu Ming before his death. As soon as the little emperor got on the dragon chair, he drove away Gao Gong. Once Gao Gong left, Gao Yi was shocked. He vomited blood for three days and died. Among the three cabinet ministers, Zhang Juzheng was the only one left. Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant and emperor in the early years of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.
A familiar story now says: Once When Zhu Yijun read "The Analects", he mistakenly pronounced the character "bo" in "Seboruye" as "bei", and Zhang Juzheng sternly corrected: "As a character for Bo! "The sound of thunder made the little emperor panicked, and the officials present were all shocked.
When the Empress Dowager Li was disciplining her son in the palace, she often said, "How can I make Mr. Zhang hear!" "You look like this, if you let Mr. Zhang know, you will be careful.
It can be said that in Zhu Yijun’s young mind, there is more to Zhang Juzheng It is fear.
With the support of the Queen Mother Li and the little emperor, Zhang Juzheng became the chief assistant of the cabinet with the most power in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng himself once said to people: "I am not a photo, I am a photo. "
"Photo" means regent, which means ruling on behalf of the emperor.
Zhang Juzheng is the head assistant and Zhu Yijun's teacher. Zhu Yijun respects Zhang Juzheng and obeys his advice. History contains " Emperor Xu regards the committee as the righteous, and Juzheng also takes the world as his own responsibility. "
What Zhang Juzheng said and requested, Zhu Yijun mostly praised and approved one by one. Even Zhu Yijun himself said: "Qing usually said, I will do everything. "Even the matter decided by the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li, Zhang Juzheng felt that it was not feasible, and Zhu Yijun had to persuade the Queen Mother according to Zhang Juzheng's will and do it.
Shen Defu said in the "Wanli Yehuo" Zhang Juzheng: "Gong" The mansion is one, the hundred pirates follow the wind, and the power is heavy. The dynasty is rare and the ministers hand in hand. Compared with the majestic and strict father, there is also a plus.”
Zhang Juzheng Hao Taiyue, a couplet flattery written by contemporary people:
The sun and the moon will be bright, the world will raise tomorrow's son;
Qiushan is a mountain, the Quartet Song Taiyue Xianggong.
This is a combination of Zhang Juzheng and Da Mingzi. It doesn’t matter if Zhu Yijun’s wings were not firm when he was a child, and he can’t get over the big waves. Once he gets older, he has his own opinions. , Seeing that Zhang Juzheng is still like this, how can he tolerate it?
As a master of generation, Zhang Juzheng is not without a clear understanding of his blooming present. He also thought about retiring, but he was too late. .
In the eighth year of Wanli (1580), at this time, it was only two years before the end of Zhang Juzheng’s life. Zhang Juzheng asked Zhu Yijun to "beg for a rest"Qiu means that Shangshu asked the emperor to allow himself to return to his hometown and retire and go home for the elderly.
Zhu Yijun decreed to stay. Two days later, Zhang Juzheng went to "begging for leave" again. In order to get the emperor to agree, Zhang Juzheng took a step back: just ask for leave, not If you resign, if there is a major event in the country, once the emperor summons, he will say it at night.
This compromise plan, Zhu Yijun wants to agree, who knows to report to the Queen Mother Li, the Queen Mother said: "Tell Mr. Zhang that although the ceremonies are revisions, all internal and external government affairs, you have not been able to The ruling is particularly important. Mr. Zhang is entrusted by the first emperor, how can he bear it! When Vuel reaches thirty years old, he will discuss it again. Mister will not have to think about it in the future."
This year Zhu Yijun was already 18 years old when he was 18 years old. The old lady said that Mr. Zhang would be "Thirty Years Old". Then, shouldn't you have to wait more than ten years if you want to be in power? At this time, Zhang Juzheng had become an obstacle to the emperor's pro-government and an obstacle to his progress.
Zhu Yijun finally waited until the day of the outbreak.

Wanli ten years (1582) June 20 (July 9th in the Gregorian calendar), Taishi (Jin Dynasty nine days before his death) Zhang Juzheng, who was also the prince and grandmaster, the official secretary, and the scholar of Zhongjidian University, died of illness. Shenzong dropped out of the court for him and gave him the posthumous title of "Wenzhong".
On the fourth day after Zhang Juzheng's death, seven officials including Yushi Leishiji impeached Pan Sheng, and Shenzong ordered Pan Zhishi. Pan Sheng was recommended by Zhang Juzheng before his death. His resignation marked the day when Zhu Yijun liquidated Zhang Juzheng.
In December of the same year, Feng Bao, Zhu Yijun's long-time "big companion", was impeached for the twelve counts of impeachment for losing his political ally Zhang Juzheng. , Zhu Yijun, "The emperor's testimony, and the service has been long, so he was lenient and sent to Nanjing to live in a new house." In terms of years of companionship, he was treated leniently and fined out of Beijing and went to Nanjing for retirement.
Zhu Yijun sent people to check Feng Bao’s home and obtained more than one million gold and silver and countless jewelry. Zhu Yijun appreciates the happiness of getting money from a home.
Zhu Yijun's attitude towards Feng Bao, his "big companion", has become a kind of hint, a butterfly's wings that flap.
First of all, Shaanxi Yushi Yang Sizhi went to the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng’s fourteen deadly crimes. In March of the 11th year of Wanli, 9 months after Zhang Juzheng’s death, Zhu Yijun gave instructions on the memorial: "Juzheng I was humbly appointed and favored Very long, not thinking about serving the country with all his loyalty, Gu Naiyun's favor and selfishness, and a special favor. Nian is entrusted by the emperor, waiting for me to grow old, and has been assisted for ten years. Now he has died, and I will continue to do nothing."
Immediately after that, Yu Shi Ding this Lv Shangshu reported: Wanli 7th year Ji Maoke Yingtian Township Exam Master Gao Qiyu's exam question was: "Shun also Mingyu", this is Ding this Lu Fengjin Zhang Juzheng, Shun was the emperor, and Yu was Zhang Juzheng.
Then, Yu Shi Yang can scribble on Zhang Juzheng's structure to trap the Abandoned Liao King, saying that Zhang Juzheng "The late scholar Zhang Juzheng secluded the land of the Abandoned Liao Mansion, begging to conduct investigations strictly."
This is an old case: after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the dragons and grandchildren of Zhu Yuanzhang were divided into various places as kings, and the Liao King was one of them. The fief of the Liao King moved to Jingzhou later in Liaodong, where Zhang Juzheng's hometown was.
The name of the Liao King at this time was Zhu Xianjie. This Zhu Xianjie was like Zhu Yuanzhang’s unscrupulous descendants. He was domineering and committed no evil. When Emperor Longqing was alive, under the joint hands of a group of ministers such as Zhang Juzheng, the Liao King Zhu Xianjie was abolished as a subordinate. . "The emperor should be punishable by the constitutional festival, and the clan should be exempted from death, abolished as a commoner, and the wall is high."
Now that this matter is brought up again, in the mouth of Yushi, it has become Zhang Juzheng's false public benefit. Occupy the waste of the Liao Wang family wealth. Abandoned Liao Wang family thoughtsFor the Liao King to reverse the case, now there is a chance, so the second concubine of the abolished Liao King also went to the Shura to complain about the injustice. The Shushang said a key to attract Zhu Yijun: "The common people are rich in treasures and live in the main residence. "
Zhu Yijun, who is addicted to investigating criminal officials for obtaining huge amounts of gold, heard this, and in April of the twelfth year of Wanli (1584), he ordered to check Zhang Juzheng’s family property.
Zhu Yijun once said to Zhang Juzheng when Zhang Ju was in power: "Mr. Gong is great, I have nothing to do, but I can only take care of Mr. Gu's descendants."
Now let’s talk about how Zhang Juzheng’s "good student" Zhu Yijun took care of Mr. Zhang’s descendants:
When the investigators sent by Zhu Yijun did not arrive at Zhang Mansion, Jiangling The door of Zhang Mansion was closed. The old and weak women and children were too late to leave. There was no food in the mansion and they were not allowed to go out. More than ten people starved to death;
court investigators in Zhang Mansion copied 2,400 taels of gold, more than 10,000 taels of silver, and goldware. 3700 taels and 10,000 taels for silverware. There is a lot of gold and silver, and Mr. Zhang is not as clean as the Hai Master. However, it is still far from the earlier estimates. The investigators severely tortured and tortured to extract a confession, demanding the Zhang family to hand over the 2 million taels of gold and silver deposited outside. The eldest son Zhang Jingxiu could not stand the torture and hanged himself to death; the third son Zhang Maoxiu attempted suicide.
Zhang Jingxiu’s suicide alarmed officials in the DPRK, the first assistant Shen Shixing and the six ministers played a lenient punishment. In this case, Zhu Yijun had to stop his crazy actions.
Zhu Yijun left an empty house and 10 hectares of land for Zhang Juzheng’s 80-year-old mother to provide for the elderly. This is Zhu Yijun's only repayment to Zhang Juzheng.
Regarding Zhang Juzheng's case, Zhu Yijun wrote: "Zhang Juzheng slandered his relatives, occupied the palace of the king's grave, restrained the superintendent, and concealed it. Zhen Cong... authoritarian and chaotic politics, unwilling to bear favor, seek unfaithfulness in the country, should cut the coffin and kill the corpse, want to serve for a long time, I will do my best to follow the law. The Iraqi family of Zhang Juyi, Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Shun, and Zhang Shu all write forever Defend the smoky ground and fill the army forever. You will also be known by the Procuratorate of the crime list of all provinces."
From then on, during the Wanli Dynasty, no one could bring the case of Zhang Juzheng in front of the emperor.
From now on, Zhu Yijun’s work against the "mentor" has been reversed, and after the fall, the reasons for the drastic change in attitude are different.
It is said that Zhu Yijun’s 180-degree change of attitude is a vent of his long-term restraint of Zhang Juzheng; it is said that the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng is the basis for Zhu Yijun’s beginning to govern, and the overthrow of Zhang Juzheng has also established the emperor’s own authority. .
In the above two statements, the biggest thing that cannot be justified is: a dead person will not pose a big threat to the emperor, and such severe punishment is not necessary. Besides, doing so will make one's own position in history full of criticism.
There is also a gossip about Zhang Juzheng and the Queen Mother Li. It is about Zhang Juzheng’s high school Jinshi year, and laughed at the last of Jinshi An Ai self-cultivation produced a couplet: "Ai self-study, don't self-study, white-faced scholars back the tiger list", the top three scholars are "the champion", "the second place" and "the flower", also known as the "dragon and tiger list". The last one is called "Back to the Tiger List". Later, Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant. Ai Zixiu noticed that Zhang Juzheng was having an affair with the Queen Mother Li, so he was inspired to respond to Zhang Juzheng's second couplet: "Zhang Juzheng, if you are in the right place, you should not be righteous, and the black-hearted prime minister is lying on the bed."
Although the "ambiguity" between Mr. Zhang and Queen Mother Li is not documented in the official history, in the mid to late Ming Dynasty, the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Queen Mother Li is not groundless. This is probably the reason for Zhu Yijun's inability to speak out. one.
In my opinion, Zhu Yijun's treatment of Zhang Juzheng after his death is also related to his mean nature.
This from ZhuWhen Yijun was a child, he drank too much and ordered his servant to sing a new song to him. The servant refused to say no. Zhu Yijun took the sword and wanted to kill the servant. It can be seen from the fact that he treated his own son Zhu Changluo. It can be seen even more.
Zhu Changluo's life experience is the same as that of Zhu Yijun, who was born by accident by the father of the palace girl.
One day in 1581 (the 9th year of Wanli), Zhu Yijun was lucky to have a court lady. Originally this kind of thing, the servant had to record the relevant years and the rewards, but the emperor did not want to mention it, so no one dared to bother. The lady of the palace is from Cining Palace, whose surname is Wang.
Later Queen Mother Li heard about it. When asked about it, Zhu Yijun simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't want to admit it. He didn't have to admit it until Neida produced evidence.
Zhu Yijun loves Concubine Zheng in every way. In 1584, the imperial concubine Zheng gave birth to the second son Zhu Changxu, but unfortunately died. The emperor's love for her was undiminished. Two years later, the imperial concubine Zheng gave birth to the third son Zhu Changxun, who was named the imperial concubine immediately. Zheng seized the opportunity to beg Zhu Yijun, the third son of the emperor Zhu Changxun, to be the prince, and to be the queen himself. The two wrote the contract and swear in the Taoist temple. Zhu Yijun's promise violated the ancestral system and feudal ritual system and caused a major political crisis. This was the famous "national dispute" in Ming history.
Until the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), Zhu Changluo was 20 years old. In order to calm the increasingly fierce dispute about the crown prince, Zhu Yijun appointed Zhu Changluo as the crown prince and his third son Zhu Changxun as the blessing king.
In the thirty-first year of Wanli (1603), because of rumors that the Wanli Emperor wanted to change the crown prince, the target was directed at the imperial concubine Zheng. As a result, the emperor even arrested many people. In the forty-first year of Wanli (1613), there was another suggestion that the royal concubine Zheng and King Fu were going to murder the crown prince, but the emperor only let King Fu be in control.
Zhu Yijun wanted to change the prince, but the queen mother did not agree, the queen did not agree, and the ministers did not agree. Once, Zhu Yijun said that the prince was the son of the "duren", and the queen mother Li immediately stunned him: "You are also the son of the metropolis." Zhu Yijun retired in shame.
Prince Gong's birth mother, Princess Gong, lived in the secluded palace, and could not see Zhu Yijun. She washed her face with tears all day long, and gradually lost her eyesight. In the thirty-ninth year of Wanli (1611), Wang's family passed away. The scholar Ye Xianggao suggested a burial, but Zhu Yijun actually disagreed. Then, the emperor reluctantly agreed to pursue the posthumous concubine.
Even after handling the case of Zhang Juzheng to his biological mother, Cisheng Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun rarely visited the palace again.
It is precisely for the above reasons that Zhang Juzheng's humiliation after his death is inevitable.
