The struggle for the state during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty Power struggles and political corruption

There has always been"The crown prince is the cornerstone of the country"The prince also insisted"Stand tall"principles. However, Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong did not agree with Zhu Changlu, the eldest son born to a prostitute, favored Zheng Guifei, and wanted to depose Zheng Guifei's youngest son Zhu Changxun as the crown prince, but was fiercely opposed by the ministers of the national capital, causing a dispute that lasted for 29 years.

Myojinzong refused to admit his eldest son after a night of romance.

After the age of 18 in the ninth year of Wanli (1581), Mingshenzong went to Cining Palace to the Empress Dowager Cisheng, but he did not expect that the Empress Dowager Cisheng was not in the palace. Once, the body of Mingshenzong unexpectedly favored the Wang Consortium of Cining Palace, but Zhu Yijun later regretted that he did not reward the Wang family with chips according to common sense, but left Cining Palace in a hurry.

Zhu Yijun said that this matter was very disgraceful, when Empress Dowager Li and Shoufu Zhang Juzheng were usually very strict, so after the incident, Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong was reluctant to mention this matter again, but he didn't expect that in this case, Wang Ji was actually this secret knot. As time goes by, Wang Ji will also change, he can no longer hide, he will only tell and expose everything to the Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li was a prostitute herself, so she not only deeply understood Wang's situation, but also tried to convey it to Wang's son. One day, Empress Dowager Li took the opportunity of the banquet to mention this matter to her son, Zhu Yijun wanted to deny it at first, until Empress Dowager Li ordered him to take it out"Proof of household registration", Zhu Yijun had to admit it. Under the persuasion of Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun reluctantly sealed Concubine Wang Gong.

A few months later, his wife, Gong, gave birth to a son named Zhu Changluo. At that time, the palace maid in the palace was called"All people", and Emperor Shenzong often called Zhu Changluo's son"All people", which shows that he is not happy with both mother and son.

The intention of the Myojin Sect to abolish the big and establish the small led to the controversy over the founding of the country.

As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a child, and when the queen has no children, it is reasonable that Concubine Wang Gong has more and more concubines. However, in August of the ninth year of Wanli (1581), the Zheng family was recruited into the palace, and soon became favored in the harem, and within three years was successively promoted to Shufei, Defei, and Guifei, and the status of the Wang family changed the world.

In the first month of the fourteenth year of Wanli (1586), Zheng Guifei gave birth to Zhu Changxun, Zhu Yijun was overjoyed, and in March of the same year, Zheng Guifei was canonized as the imperial concubine again. Because of this incident, Mingshenzong even proposed to Zhu Yijun to abolish the heart of the elder and young, which triggered a nearly thirty-year-long dispute over the country's capital.

Soon, there were rumors that Shenzong and Zheng Guifei had privately agreed that Zheng Guifei's son Zhu Changxun would become the crown prince. Shen Shixing's request to be canonized as the crown prince before Zhu Changxun's birth was rejected, and Zheng Guifei was promoted to imperial concubine after giving birth to a son, but Wang Gongfei was not canonized for a long time, and the courtiers were immediately worried.

In addition to the big seal and the small, not only violates the ancients"Elder Brother"also violated the ancestral system in Zhu Yuanzhang's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", which immediately caused an uproar in the government and the opposition. On the day of Zheng Guifei's accession to the throne, Jiang Yinglin, the secretary of the household department, Shen Jing, the servant of the criminal department, and others played the prince, Jiang Yinglin's statement was extremely fierce, directly challenging Zhu Yijun and sending Datong Guangchangxian.

Zhu Yijun's repression not only defeated a group of ministers, but also awakened the fighting spirit of a group of ministers, and Shen Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Sun Rufu, the director of the Criminal Department, were provoked and punished again. Zhu Yijun's attitude was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the minister in the palace had to immediately write to Zhu Yijun, suggesting that the prince's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, come to refute the rumors this morning. At the same time, the ministers accused Zheng Guifei of interfering in the harem in the book "Please Establish the Prince" and was the spearhead of Zheng Guifei's harem.

Because, the piece of paper is like often being torn to the point of confusion between dd and the upper hole, Zhu Yijun of the Mingshenzong did not bother to repeat it, and completely ignored it, and the courtiers kept confusing dd and the upper hole at the same time, they also kept mentioning it in the court, and Zhu Yijun's conclusion was only seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart, and even the court did not think so.

Zhu Changluo became the crown prince, and the conflict between the provinces ended after the coup d'état.

In this protracted reshuffle, four cabinet ministers, including Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping, Zhao Zhigao, and Wang Xijue, were forced to resign, that is, the enemy country was implicated, more than 300 people were dismissed, and the Sugarcane Palace was removed from their posts and sent to the army. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), Zhu Yijun, under the intervention of Empress Dowager Li, was forced to support the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo.

After Zhu Changluo was made the crown prince, his sons Zhu Changxun, Zhu Changxun, Zhu Changhao, Zhu Changrun, and Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, were successively established as the crown prince. However, Zhu Changluo, who was made the crown prince, was still sent to the cold palace, except for the position of the prince, there was no relevant treatment, and Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, stayed in the capital for a long time and never left Beijing to be crowned.

In order to prevent things from changing, the ministers asked King Fu to leave Beijing as soon as possible, but Zhu Yijun delayed again and again until the forty-second year of Wanli (1614), when Emperor Zheng's concubine and the ministers of King Fu Zhu Changxun had the intention of killing the king again in the name of the letter of responsibility, and King Fu Zhu Changxun had to go to Luoyang to seal the marquis.

In May of the 43rd year of Wanli (1615), a man named Zhang Dai, armed with a wooden stick, broke into the Ciqing Palace, where the crown prince Zhu Changluo was staying, wounded the eunuch, and attempted to assassinate the prince. After interrogation, Zhang Dai confessed that the old eunuch bought him, took him to Ciqing Palace, and instructed him to kill the people he met, especially the person in the yellow robe (Prince Zhu Changluo), but he didn't expect the eunuch to buy his identity.

Later, Emperor Wanli and his relatives and ministers interrogated Lü Menglong again, asking him to truthfully say that Concubine Zheng Guifei was the real leader under the leadership of eunuchs Pang Bao and Liu Cheng. The ministers then suspected that Zheng Guifei was still alive and suspected Zheng Guotai, a relative of Zheng Guifei"Authority", attempting to kill the crown prince Zhu Changluo, Wang Zhi, He Shijin, Zhang Wanda and others.

Under the intervention of the crown prince Zhu Changlu, Concubine Zheng escaped by chance, but was shot to death by Zhang Chai's arrow. Although Zheng Guifei was not punished for the mating incident, his power was destroyed. Although Zheng Guifei was not punished for the mating incident, and although Zheng Guifei's power was destroyed, Zhu Changluo's position as crown prince was intact. As for"Mating case"Whether the final result was at the request of Concubine Zheng or the prince's own bitter plan, no one knows.
