Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun, that is, the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, reigned for 48 years, making him the longest-reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty. For the first 10 years of his reign, due to his young age, his mother, Mrs. Li, was appointed as a substitute for the government. Although his romantic past is absurd, it proves the saying: "If you lose your horse, you will know if you are blessed", which changed from a bad thing to a good thing, laying the groundwork for the emperor's eldest son in the future.
Zhu Yijun's mother, Empress Dowager Li, lives in the magnificent Cining Palace all the year round. Her daily diet and daily life were carefully managed by the eunuchs and palace maids of the Internal Affairs Office, so after she became the queen mother, her life was comfortable and comfortable. Among the beautiful palace maids who served her, a palace maid named Wang Ruilan was even more outstanding and was very loved by Empress Dowager Li.
Because of her gentleness and virtuousness, delicate appearance, she also did her best to serve the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother often praised her for her diligence, ability, thoughtfulness and meticulousness, and promoted her to be her personal palace maid.
Wang Ruilan is naturally beautiful, with bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like condensed fat, and a graceful and moving posture, which makes the beauties of the harem three thousand ashamed of themselves. Once, Zhu Yijun came to greet his mother, and when he saw Wang Ruilan's flower-like appearance, he was instantly fascinated and couldn't help himself. Since then, Zhu Yijun has frequently visited Cining Palace under the pretext of greeting his mother, the purpose of which is to take a look at Wang Ruilan more and stay with her for a while.
One day, Zhu Yijun drank too much, and he came to the room of the Empress Dowager Li again to see his mother through the wine, but only saw Wang Ruilan staying alone in the house. He took the opportunity to hug Wang Ruilan and desperately pulled her into another room to pamper her. Afterwards, Zhu Yijun also felt regretful and gaffe, and was even more worried that his mother would know about it and punish him. So, he instructed Wang Ruilan not to tell anyone. He also gave her a jade pendant to apologize and make amends, and repeatedly told her not to make a noise.
Unexpectedly, a month later, Wang Ruilan suddenly became pregnant. When Empress Dowager Li found out, she was very angry and forced her to tell who the father of the child was. Wang Ruilan had no choice but to take out the jade pendant to prove that she was not willing to fall. The Queen Mother recognized at a glance that this jade pendant belonged to Zhu Yijun, and was angry that he was frivolous and immoral. Soon, he turned his anger to joy again, and he was happy to have the emperor's eldest son.
Subsequently, she sent someone to confront Zhu Yijun. Seeing this, Zhu Yijun had to lower his head to admit his mistake and let his mother fall. Empress Dowager Li saw that the child Wang Ruilan was pregnant with was indeed her own flesh and blood, so she came down the slope and got off the donkey and named Wang Ruilan as a concubine. Subsequently, she successfully gave birth to a boy, the later eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo. Empress Dowager Li also doted on this child and raised it herself.
Zhu Changluo was smart and studious since he was a child, and after he took the throne, he implemented a number of policies that were beneficial to the people. During his reign, he appointed virtuous ministers, eliminated maladministration, actively reformed, abolished the mining tax, put order in order, and revitalized the ...... of the dynastyAlthough he did not reign for a long time, he also implemented a number of policies for the benefit of the people, promoted the development of society, and was considered to be a generation of Ming monarchs.
However, his cognitive and thinking abilities were limited after all, and he was affected by the restrictions of the times and external conditions, and finally listened to slander, and in the first year of Taichang (1620 AD), he died of illness after taking the "red pill" paid by the eunuch Cui Wensheng.
A generation of emperors has fallen like this, which is really sad and hateful.
