On October 6, the sixth year of Jiajing in 1527, Zhu Houqiong, the king of Hui, played the imperial court in Junzhou, Henan, claiming that there was a vacancy in the palace's treasures and uniforms, which had a serious impact on the normal operation of the palace.
He asked the imperial court for additions, and attached a list of his own recommended additions. Normally, it is not uncommon for a prince to recommend a royal mansion to the imperial court**, but it is usually just one or two.
However, this time, there were many additional personnel in the Hui Domain, so the Ministry of Rites conducted an inspection, and it was found that there was no vacancy in the Hui Mansion. Therefore, Zhu Houqiong's request is actually a desire to increase the number of personnel in addition to the quota, which violates the provisions of the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun".
Zhu Houqiong of Gujuntai, and his grandfather, Zhu Jianpei, the king of Huizhuang, also made similar mistakes. The imperial court severely punished the officials who had been added without permission, and found that Xu Ke, the political envoy of Henan Zuobu, who had dismissed the officials of the Hui Domain without reporting, was too hasty and fined him two months.
If Zhu Houqiong does not learn a lesson, the consequences will not be good. Ming Shizong ordered the counselors inside and outside the Hui Mansion to carefully review the matter before making a report.
Zhu Houyu, the owner of the Jun porcelain World Expo, is elegant and talented. He repeatedly asked the emperor for literary and artistic items. Among them, in August of the twenty-third year of Jiajing (1544), he asked Ming Shizong to give him a copy of the "Tongjian Compendium" and the "General Examination of Literature".
Later, he built an artistic pavilion in the palace, and asked the emperor for his name, study utensils, strange incense and other items. However, his request was not satisfactorily answered, and the emperor only granted the amount of "Yangde" building, and all other requests were rejected.
According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Houyu loves cultivation and is an outstanding guqin master, he edited and sorted out a guqin score called "Fengxuan Xuanpin", which is a classic in guqin science.
He had a close relationship with the local luthiers, and once asked him to help administer justice because of a luthier who had a relationship with him, and asked him to help administer justice.
The conflict between Zhu Houyi and Chen Ji led to the latter's imprisonment, and Luo Ang and Wang Sanpin interceded for Chen Ji, but it attracted the anger of Ming Shizong. In order to settle the controversy, Zhu Houyang chose to cultivate the Tao and befriended the emperor through Tao Zhongwen.
Ming Shizong expressed support for Zhu Houyang's cultivation, and even gave him the Taiqing Fuyuan Xuanhua real gold seal. However, the account of this incident in the "Ming Shilu" is different from the "History of the Ming Dynasty", in which the conflict between Chen Ji and Zhu Houyang stems from Chen Ji's delay in the Wangfu Suilu and the abuse of the Hui Military Academy.
This led to Shi Li Yingshi, the governor of the royal palace, leading everyone to take revenge on Chen Ji.
Junzhou Confucian Temple ** was humiliated, Chen Ji angrily went up to accuse Shi Li Ying, the head of the Hui domain, thinking that King Hui was behind the instructions. Zhu Houyu had to defend himself for this, and Ming Shizong ordered Chen Ji to be escorted into Beijing, and at the same time, the right deputy of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court and the governor of Henan, Luo Ang, and the governor of Henan were escorted into Beijing for interrogation.
However, although Zhu Houyu cultivated immortals and became fellow believers in the Ming dynasty, which brought many benefits to the Hui domain, including the canonization of his biological mother Zhang as the second concubine of the king of Huijian, the treatment of the two domains of Zhou and Hui was different in terms of salt introduction, which also caused Zhu Mu, the king of Zhou.
The Hui Domain's right to manage Zhuangtian in Luyi County caused controversy. Around the fifteenth year of Jiajing, due to the conflict between the Guanzhuang people and the tenants, Liang Cai, the then secretary of the household department, and others proposed that the local yamen collect the rent on their behalf, and the palace directly came to collect the land rent.
This proposal was intended to usurp the control of the Hui domain over Zhuangtian, but Zhu Houjiao resolutely opposed it and demanded that it be left as it was, citing inconvenience. In the end, Ming Shizong accepted Zhu Houjiao's request.
However, in order to prevent the recurrence of similar problems, Zhu Houyu went to the imperial court in May of the 17th year of Jiajing (1538) and requested that an edict be engraved into an inscription and erected in the Zhuangtian, indicating that the land was permanently managed by the Hui clan and that it collected rents on its own.
Ming Shizong asked the household department to discuss, and as a result, the household department ** brought up the old matter again and asked for escrow and collection.
In Lao Dao's hometown, Luyi, Ming Shizong found out that the household department deliberately violated his will to suppress the clan, and immediately thundered and became angry, and ordered a thorough investigation of the responsibility of the relevant personnel.
However, Liang Cai, the head of the household department, has resigned and was demoted to the right attendant to the idle position, the left attendant Tang Zhou and the transferred right attendant Wang Yaofeng and others have been fined for half a year, and the ** of the Henan Qing Officials Division of the household department were sent to Jinyiwei for interrogation.
It turned out that the huge silver taels needed for the restoration of the palace carrying hall of the royal palace beyond the system could not be taken out by Henan Province for a while. Therefore, he proposed a plan: the palace should be repaired by himself, but it was necessary to allocate 10,000 taels from the prefecture and county to which Kaifeng Prefecture belonged to and transfer it to the Hui Domain, and the remaining 90,000 taels would be levied from the local tax grain in nine years at an annual amount of 10,000 taels.
This plan not only sparked a reverie that His Royal Highness King Hui might take the opportunity to accumulate wealth, but also met with opposition from the Ministry of Households, which demanded that the Henan Fu Press first verify the regulations of the Hui Palace.
In the end, Zhu Houxi used strong means to report the behavior of the Henan side to the emperor, and ordered the dismissal or punishment of the ** involved. A new Henan Fu official was appointed, and they quickly allocated silver taels and began the renovation of the Huiwang Mansion.
Zhu Houxi himself has something in common with King Hui, and his character and talent make him enjoy a certain reputation in the clan. Although his character is average, because of what he has in common with Ming Shizong, coupled with his contributions, he was finally given the nickname "Gong".
Xingxian King's Mausoleum: The Source of Zhu Houxi's Belief in Taoism Although it is recorded in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" that Zhu Houyu worships Taoism in order to avoid disasters, Ah Yue believes in the records in the "Ming Shilu" and believes that Zhu Houyu really likes to cultivate Taoism.
After all, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were very reverent in Taoism, for example, Ming Chengzu built Taoist buildings in the north and south, and 4 of the 16 Ming Dynasty emperors died directly or indirectly from taking pills.
In the context of the royal worship of Taoism, Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian, was also a devout Taoist believer, and Ming Shizong's obsession was closely related to Zhu Houxi's beliefs. Therefore, it is not a strange thing for Zhu Houxi to believe.
Chongdao can not only bring many benefits to himself and the Hui clan, but even if it is pretended at first, it will eventually be transformed into true faith.
