The Qing Tomb in the Ming Tombs is the joint burial mausoleum of Zhu Changluo, the 14th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the empresses Guo, Wang and Liu. But some people say that Zhu Changluo is a dove occupying a magpie's nest, what is going on?
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changluo can be called the saddest prince.
The reason why he said this is because he has turned the true dragon son into a high-risk industry with his treacherous and changeable fate.
Zhu Changluo is the eldest son of Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong.
Originally, Zhu Changluo was born to Concubine Wang Gong, not a son-in-law. However, due to the fact that Empress Xiaoduanxian only gave birth to one daughter, according to the inheritance system of "having a grandson and establishing a long-term heir", Zhu Changluo should be made the crown prince.
But Zhu Changluo was simply a punishment for his impulsiveness to the Mingshen Sect.
It turned out that Zhu Changluo's biological mother, Concubine Wang Gong, was not drafted into the palace, but the little palace maid next to Empress Dowager Li.
One day in the ninth year of Wanli, Mingshenzong asked Empress Dowager Li to say goodbye, and for a while her hormones were on her head, but she was fortunate to be Concubine Wang Gong, who was still a little palace maid. Who knew this impulse, there was Zhu Changluo.
To put it simply, Zhu Changluo is an illegitimate child who does not conform to the law of etiquette.
Therefore, Mingshenzong was reluctant to admit it, but fortunately, at that time, Queen Wang and Concubine Liu Zhao were childless, and Empress Dowager Li, who was eager to hold her grandson, finally forced Mingshenzong to admit Zhu Changluo's identity by checking the living notes. So Concubine Wang Gong finally became more precious than her son and was named a concubine.
That is, in the year Zhu Changluo was born, Mingshenzong issued an edict on beauty pageants to expand the harem.
As a result, the outstanding Zheng family was able to enter the palace.
Zheng is not only beautiful and beautiful, can sing and dance, is smart and smart, and has a variety of charms. Because of the exclusive favor of the Myojin Sect, it took her only 4 years to become the imperial concubine second only to the queen.
Zheng is also particularly fertile. In 9 years, she gave birth to three sons and three daughters successively, and became the fertility champion in the harem of Mingshenzong.
Due to the early death of Zhu Changxun, the second son of the Zheng family, the third son of the emperor, Zhu Changxun, became the most favored prince of Mingshenzong.
Originally, the establishment of the crown prince was a major event of the country, but because Mingshenzong did not like Zhu Changluo, he had been prevaricating on the grounds that "the emperor's eldest son was young", and he refused to establish the prince for a long time.
Once, in order to make the Zheng family happy, Mingshenzong promised to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince in the future.
Zheng knew that there was no evidence, so she asked Myojinzong to write down an edict and hid it in a brocade box on the palace beam, so that it could be used as a certificate in the future.
However, for the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the matter of establishing a prince cannot be regarded as the emperor's family matter.
As early as when the Zheng family was pregnant and was entitled, the courtiers were worried that she would covet the crown prince, so they repeatedly joined forces, hoping that Mingshenzong could make Zhu Changluo the crown prince as soon as possible.
After the Zheng family gave birth to Zhu Changxun and was made the imperial concubine, everyone even saw that the Qingming Divine Sect wanted to "abolish the long and establish the young".
The ** of the Ming Dynasty has a deep "loyal monarch and patriotism" complex, so naturally they can't watch the Mingshenzong break the ancestral family law, let alone let the descendants poke their backbones, saying that the emperor was seduced by a woman, and scolded them for being disloyal and unfilial as courtiers.
Therefore, a protracted battle for the country's capital has begun.
Just when the Mingshenzong and the courtiers were at an impasse, Empress Dowager Li stood up again.
Empress Dowager Li said that Zhu Changluo is 19 years old, and he should have gone out of the cabinet to study at this age.
In the ancestral family law of the Ming Dynasty, "out of the cabinet" means two meanings, one is that the prince should leave the capital to become a vassal, and the other is that the prince stays in the capital to study.
Empress Dowager Li's attitude is very clear, that is, Zhu Changluo must be appointed as the crown prince.
In this way, not only did the courtiers support Zhu Changluo, but the Empress Dowager Li also supported Zhu Changluo, obviously although Mingshenzong was the emperor, he really did not dare to violate the ancestral family law. In addition, he can be an enemy of the courtiers, but he does not dare to be unfilial to the Empress Dowager Li.
In fact, there was one more thing that made Mingshenzong finally make up his mind to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince.
That is Zheng's handwritten edict hidden in the brocade box back then, which was actually bitten by silverfish, especially the three words "Zhu Changxun" were bitten so that they were unrecognizable.
Seeing this, Mingshenzong thought that Zhu Changluo was indeed the true dragon emperor, so he ignored Zheng's crying and finally named Zhu Changluo the crown prince, ending the long battle for the country's capital.
Although Zhu Changluo got the crown prince with the help of Empress Dowager Li and courtiers, his life was still uneasy.
On the one hand, the rumors that "Mingshenzong wants to change the crown prince" are wave after wave; On the other hand, everyone is rumoring that "Zheng Guifei and King Fu (Zhu Changxun) want to harm the prince".
Therefore, Zhu Changluo lived in fear every day, fearing both dethronement and harm, so he became more and more cautious and cautious.
In the forty-third year of Wanli, a man named Zhang Cha brandished a jujube stick and broke into the Cining Palace where Zhu Changluo lived. After being arrested, Zhang Cha confessed that he was entrusted by the eunuchs Liu Cheng and Pang Bao to murder the prince.
Liu Cheng and Pang Bao are both Zheng Guifei's henchmen, which undoubtedly confirms Zheng's statement that he wants to harm the prince.
In the end, Zheng followed the advice of Mingshenzong and obtained Zhu Changluo's forgiveness, which calmed down the turmoil.
In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, the 57-year-old Mingshenzong finally drove the crane west, and Zhu Changluo finally ascended the throne.
But no one expected that Zhu Changluo would die after only 29 days as emperor.
It turned out that after Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, the Zheng family was afraid that Zhu Changluo would retaliate against her, so they presented 8 beauties to Zhu Changluo.
Who knew that only 10 days later, Zhu Changluo couldn't afford to get sick.
Seeing that the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor could not make his body improve at all, Zhu Changluo, who was eager to seek medical treatment, took the red pill refined by the warlock Li Kezhuo, and died as a result.
Because Zhu Changluo died too suddenly, his mausoleum was not built, and even the site selection had not yet begun.
In this way, Zhu Changluo left a big problem for the ministers, should he be buried in **?
So some people thought of the mausoleum that was abandoned by Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong before.
The abandoned mausoleum in Zhu Qizhen is a mausoleum built by his younger brother Zhu Qiyu for himself.
Originally, Zhu Qiyu couldn't be the emperor, but the change of Tumubao made Zhu Qizhen, who was personally conquered by the emperor, a prisoner of Wara.
The country cannot be without a king for a day, with the support of Yu Qian and others, Zhu Qiyu, who was the superintendent of the country, became the emperor in half a push, and Zhu Qizhen, who became a prisoner, was respected as the emperor from afar.
After Zhu Qizhen was sent back, Zhu Qiyu kept him in seclusion in Nangong.
In the eighth year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill.
The eunuch Cao Jixiang and others launched a change to seize the door, and Zhu Qizhen was restored. Zhu Qiyu, who was ill, was deposed as the king of servant and died soon in grief.
Originally, before Zhu Qiyu's death, he had built a mausoleum for himself in the ancestral mausoleum, but Zhu Qizhen did not bury him in the ancestral mausoleum, but chose another place in Xishan in Beijing to bury him.
Unexpectedly, after more than a hundred years, this abandoned mausoleum actually came in handy again.
So the imperial court spent another 1.5 million taels ** to repair and expand the mausoleum that had been abandoned for many years, and Zhu Changluo was buried there.
Zhu Changluo, who has been aggrieved all his life, is still aggrieved after his death, and he, the "true dragon son", can indeed be called the "first sad emperor of the Ming Dynasty"!
