Jiajing's chanting made a fool of the palace maid's laughter to change her fate, and this laugh revealed what a mystery
As the supreme ruler of the country, the emperor is from the princes and nobles and ministers, down to the ordinary people, all the way to the local **, when he sees the emperor, he must be respectful, and even some ordinary people are afraid of their feet and want to kneel directly on the ground, which shows what the image and majesty of the emperor is in the minds of the people.
Because of this identity, in many cases, even if the emperor does something wrong or loses face in public, no one will stand up to correct or ridicule, even the ministers will not do it, after all, they don't want to provoke the emperor to be executed by Ling Chi, but there is such a prostitute in history who is very brave, it is said that Emperor Jiajing shouted indignantly, this prostitute couldn't help laughing, this is also called!What kind of story is this laughter that changed her fate?
In ancient times, many emperors practiced the art of immortality, hoping to refine the elixir and achieve the body of immortality, such an idea was there at a very early age, such as Qin Shi Huang during the Qin Dynasty, who once released his own elixir, but in the end it failed, and many places in later generations did not learn a lesson, and such mistakes continued, such as the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jiajing is said to be the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi, which also applies to his reign at that time, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did things seriously and also pioneered'Jiajing New Deal'Such a successful situation gave the Ming Dynasty a chance to succeed again, but when it succeeded, it did not continue. However, when he achieved a certain amount of success, he did not continue to work hard, but while obsessing with the Dan Dao, he tried to refine the so-called elixir of immortality.
He is obsessed with Taoism, close to the point of obsession, in order not to be disturbed by the outside world, he specially arranged a courtyard for his alchemy, isolated from the world for a long time, but at the same time because Taoism belongs to the category of Taoism, Emperor Jiajing particularly admired Taoism, and even incorporated Taoism into the concept of governing the country, and respected the famous Taoist priests, giving them extremely high status and rights, and at the same time wantonly collecting money, allowing the emperor to produce the so-called elixir of life. At the same time, status and power also require a large amount of money to be put into the treasury to worship Zhai Jiao, which has also caused a lot of waste of funds, and there has also been a more serious problem of corruption among the bureaucracy.
In the end, Emperor Jiajing refined the elixir of immortality, but he also failed to realize his dream of immortality, but because of refining this so-called for a long time"Elixir", and finally died of poisoning at the age of 60, I have to say that these practices of Emperor Jiajing are really harmful to others and himself, and the elixir of immortality no matter where in the world is nothing more than a means to deceive the people!As the king, Emperor Jiajing not only did not distinguish between right and wrong, but also brought disaster to the country and the people, and finally buried his own life.
During the reign of Emperor Jiajing, a shocking thing happened, that is, when Emperor Jiajing was reciting, there was a scandal, and even a prostitute laughed out loud when she heard it, is this the case?Because Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with Taoism, he had to chant sutras every day, and he had to ring the bell at the same time as chanting, but in the process of ringing the bell, Emperor Jiajing accidentally knocked on the air, and even almost planted a big heel, and after a while, he stood firm and fell to the ground.
There was a group of palace people and eunuchs watching the excitement next to him, they were all silent, they all knew that Emperor Jiajing knew that this was a well-known scandal, but the problem was not big, the best solution was to pretend not to see such words, so that the emperor would not be embarrassed, and they would not have any problems, he thought that this matter was over like this, but he did not expect that the hearty laughter that broke out broke the silence, and such a new thing appeared in the palace. The palace maid didn't know much about the etiquette in the palace, and when she saw the emperor's gaffe, she couldn't help laughing.
This laugh scared everyone out of a cold sweat, the scene was strange for a while, everyone thought that the concubines would have their lives in danger, and even had to be dragged into the water, but just when everyone thought that Emperor Jiajing was going to be angry, he laughed with the concubines unusually cooperatively, maybe he felt that his ugly deeds were a little embarrassing, but he also felt very funny.
After laughing, Emperor Jiajing not only did not punish the concubine, but also pleased her, and what was even more unexpected was that the concubine also because of this laugh, Emperor Jiajing directly fell in love with the mother of Jiajing's harem.
In addition to indulging in alchemy, Emperor Jiajing also has a very important characteristic, that is, compared with other dynasties in Chinese history, Emperor Jiajing has not been in court for 20 years, which is definitely a miracle, so why did he do it?Why can he do it, why can he continue to be the emperor without going to court?
First of all, one of the reasons why he didn't go to court was that he was addicted to alchemy, so he locked himself in his room for a long time to study how to make alchemy, and of course he had no intention of participating in court politics. The second reason is that the Ming Dynasty did not have too many problems, it maintained a relatively stable and balanced situation for a long time, and there were no special ministers and some friends, that's all!With his help, many state affairs were chosen by himself.
And if he doesn't go to court, the emperor can continue to sit on the throne, because the Ming Dynasty has a very special system, this system is the cabinet system, the so-called cabinet system, that is, a small secretariat of the emperor, and the ministers of the court and the central government have to go to zhangzhangzuo, Or some major affairs of the state must be approved by the cabinet members, if the emperor agrees, directly according to the opinions of these cabinet members, if they agree, they directly follow the opinions of these cabinet members, write down their opinions or opinions!If the emperor agreed, he would act directly on the advice of these cabinet members. If the emperor disagreed, he withdrew the chapter and gave reasons.
After all, it is better for the people to make decisions than for the emperor to find someone to make the decisions. With this system, coupled with the use of mutual checks and balances between the ministers of the DPRK and China, the emperor was also able to control the power very well, and by taking advantage of the various conflicts of interest between the ministers of the DPRK and China, he achieved good checks and balances, and under the combined effect of all these factors, he also managed to not go to the court for 20 years. He achieved 20 years without going to court"Feat"。
When later generations evaluated Emperor Jiajing, they all said that he was a genius ruler, because he could play with many old things in the palm of his hand, and he could also use these old things to help him take power, not only so that there was no chaos in the imperial court, but he was such a person with brains but believed in feudal superstition, not only harmed himself, but also caused the decline of the Ming Dynasty and the civil strife in later generations, which is really regrettable. How do you say such an emperor caused the decline and civil strife of the Ming Dynasty?
