In this controversy, the entire imperial court was in a dilemma. On the one hand, the ministers opposed Jiajing's proposal in order to defend the religionOn the other hand, Emperor Jiajing insisted on performing the posthumous ceremony, forming a stalemate. At the critical moment, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty supported Yang Tinghe one after another, making Jiajing unable to succeed. Justice and tradition prevailed in this controversy over individual schemes. 
However, Yang's insistence eventually landed him in a difficult situation. In order to break the deadlock, he offered to resign, in an attempt to influence the position of the ministers of the DPRK and China in this way. However, Zhu Houxi unexpectedly agreed to his resignation. This caught Yang Tinghe off guard, he had stood in the officialdom for decades, and he couldn't deal with Zhu Houxi, a stubborn opponent. In Jiajing's indifferent gaze, Yang Tinghe, the former patriarch of the Three Dynasties, could only reluctantly return to his hometown.
With Yang Tinghe's departure, Jiajing believes that the political environment has become much cleaner. So, he immediately set out to carry out a major event - posthumously honoring his biological father as "Emperor Bensheng Kao Gongmu Xian Emperor". Perhaps feeling that this was too much, Jiajing did not forcibly move his father's mausoleum to Beijing. However, this matter did not end there, and Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen once again challenged Jiajing. This struggle is destined to be a political storm that has never been seen before or since.
Speaking of Yang Shen, many people may not be familiar with it, but in the opening words of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "Linjiang Immortal", the name of this talented man can be described as prominent. He was a literati Yang Shen, known for his talent.
However, our story is not based on literary style, but is rooted in the grandeur of history. During the Jiajing period, it was the glorious moment of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Jiajing's own intelligence and decisive character also became the focus of people's talk.
After a series of turmoil, Jiajing finally made up his mind to honor his parents. In July 1524, he uncompromisingly posthumously honored Zhu Youji, the emperor of the Ming dynasty, as the "Emperor Bo Kao". This decision sparked a fierce reaction of more than 200 ministers in the DPRK and China, who knelt at the door of Zuoshun and begged Jiajing to take back his order. However, Jiajing did not waver, and even ordered the arrest of eight leading ministers. This political turmoil was fierce and shocking, surging like the passing waters of the Yangtze River in the east.
Among them, Yang Shen, as an agitator, was sent to Yunnan to fill the army. Zhu Houxi, who is only 18 years old, has shown extraordinary determination and strength in this power scheme. He took a firm stance and settled a series of problems once and for all, and since then, no one has dared to touch his authority.
After overcoming internal and external troubles, Jiajing began his great cause of governing the country. He set out to expand his father's mausoleum, replacing the original black tiles with yellow glazed tiles for the emperor's exclusive use, and expanding the area of the Shenlu Bridge several times and renaming it Xianling. This series of initiatives shows his respect for his father and his strong dedication to imperial power.
However, the years passed inexorably, and more than a decade later, Emperor Jiajing's mother, Emperor Zhang Shenghuang, the Empress Dowager Jiang, passed away. At this sad moment, Jiajing showed a touching filial piety. He proposed to send his mother's coffin back to his hometown from the capital to be buried with his father. This decision was shocking at the time, as there was no precedent for brothers and wives to be buried together. However, to everyone's surprise, the ministers did not raise objections, but instead praised Jiajing's filial piety and regarded his actions as a kind of innovation.
When Emperor Jiajing built a new underground palace for his mother in his hometown, he found that the underground palace had suffered from water seepage, and his father's mausoleum was not spared.
After the baptism of time, the magnificent appearance of the Xianling has become the largest single area in the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs. Its system is not only unique among the imperial tombs of all Chinese dynasties, but also to"One tomb and two mounds"The unique pattern is eye-catching.
However, the mausoleum is not just a cold building, but a place where many mysteries are hidden. 200 meters north of the city of Luo outside the tomb of Xianling, there is"Seven large mounds", commonly known as"A big bag"。Legend has it that there were martyrs buried in these seven earthen bags, and this legend is not unfounded. It is said that when the burial of Ruizong Zhu Youqi and the Empress Dowager of Zhangsheng Emperor Jiang, more than 70 people, including a large number of palace maids, eunuchs and craftsmen, were killed and became victims of the funeral. These seven bags of dirt became the mass graves of these innocent people.
