The emperor got lost and stayed at the farmer's house, and the farmer killed chickens to entertain him. Mother: Don't kill my daughter-in-law.
In the ancient feudal society, the people at the bottom lived a difficult life. In order to cater to the emperor's preferences, some eunuchs would even guide the emperor to do ridiculous things. For example, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, after ascending the throne at a young age, indulged in pleasure and traveled around with a large number of retinues.
Once, while traveling south, he got lost and spent the night at a farmer's house. The farmer found that the visitor was richly dressed, and knew that it was a nobleman, so he searched the house and found only one old hen.
originally wanted to kill chickens to entertain him, but he was stopped by his mother at home, crying and shouting, "Don't kill my daughter-in-law!" ”
Liu Jin and others were arrogant and arrogant, and in order to curry favor with Ming Wuzong, they established a leopard room and arranged a large number of happy households and beauties for the emperor's entertainment. Ming Wuzong had no time to deal with government affairs, and the power of the imperial court fell into the hands of Liu Jin and others, who installed cronies inside and outside the government and the opposition to brutally suppress the opposition.
However, the fall of Liu Jin did not solve the root cause of the problem, and Ming Wuzong still indulged in pleasure and favored the ministers Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, which completely destroyed the relatively clear atmosphere created during the Ming Xiaozong period.
During the reign of Ming Wuzong, a fire broke out in the Qianqing Palace, and Ming Wuzong was indifferent to this, but applauded. In addition to his incompetent rule over the imperial court, he often harassed the people, led his cronies to break into people's homes, and forced women to stay with them, causing great suffering to the people.
He took a fancy to Feng'er, the sister of a small shop owner, and made her a concubine, and also named her brother an official. Unfortunately, Feng'er died on the way to Beijing, leaving Wuzong deeply saddened.
However, he soon had a new love, Liu. He made Liu his concubine, and he was extremely fond of Liu, and took her with him wherever he went.
2: Zhu Houzhao got lost by chance, and the experience of staying in a farmhouse allowed him to experience a life completely different from the Forbidden City, which made him feel like opening the door to a new world. The ministers of the imperial court were worried about his safety and tried their best to dissuade him from even closing the city gates, but this only stimulated his rebellious mentality, and he often cooperated with his favorite minister Jiang Bin, forged his identity, and secretly left the palace.
Once, on a whim, he wanted to go to the northern border, but he was confronted by enemy troops. Although he personally killed one person, he was about to return to Beijing when he was about to return to Beijing, when the news of the rebellion of King Ning of Jiangxi suddenly came.
This gave him a chance to travel south. On the pretext of the imperial conquest, he led a large army south to quell the rebellion. What he didn't expect was that when he arrived in Nanjing, the news of Wang Yangming's suppression of the rebellion came from the front line, which made him very annoyed.
Zhu Houzhao didn't want to leave like this, he decided to take his beloved Liu Guifei to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and enjoy the mountains and rivers. After arriving in Anhui, he had a whim, decided to act separately from the large army, and agreed to meet at Jilong Mountain.
He took the guards to the agreed place first, and waited for a long time without waiting for Liu Guifei and the others, so he decided to take the initiative and go to her in person. This move was very bold, and in the eyes of the people at that time, it was very dangerous for the emperor to lead a few people deep into the mountains and old forests.
But Zhu Houzhao found this very exciting. Since they entered Joncoop Mountain for the first time, they did not have a guide and soon got lost and lost their bearings.
Zhu Houzhao and the others lost their way in the chicken coop mountain, the sky was getting dark, and they were worried that they would encounter wild beasts, so they decided to find a way out along the river. Eventually, they came to a farmer whose owner, Zhou Yuan, lived with his mother.
Zhou Yuan saw a group of people walking towards his house, the leader of them was richly dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, obviously a wealthy family. Zhu Houzhao walked in the mountains for a long time, and he was already hungry.
He asked Zhou Yuan for help, hoping to find something to eat. Zhou Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately looked around, trying to find some food. However, Zhou Yuan's family was very poor and had nothing to entertain the guests.
At this time, Zhou Yuan heard a hen crying outside the house, and he remembered an old hen raised at home, which was the only food he could take out.
Zhou Yuan wanted to kill the chicken, but was stopped by his mother, it turned out that this hen could lay eggs, and the eggs could be exchanged for sheep, and the sheep could be exchanged for donkeys when they grew up, and finally they could be exchanged for cows to build a house for their sons to marry their daughters-in-law.
After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao understood the importance of the hen, and deeply felt that as an emperor, he had never thought that his people would be so poor. This story teaches us that every life has a value and meaning that we should respect and cherish.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as an emperor, marriage is not a trivial matter? He asked Zhou Yuan if he had a favorite woman, and Zhou Yuan honestly replied no, but he just happened to hear that the daughter of a royal history was famous.
After hearing this, Ming Wuzong immediately wrote a letter to Yushi, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, to personally propose marriage for his daughter and marry the farmer Zhou Yuan. When Yushi received the letter, it was like a bolt from the blue, he was the first in the court, and he actually wanted to marry his daughter to a poor farmer with four walls.
But in feudal society, the imperial power was supreme, and the imperial history had no way to refute it, so he had to reluctantly marry his daughter to Zhou Yuan. Zhu Houzhao's casual marriage made people laugh and cry, and even a little ridiculous.
Three: Zhu Houzhao fell into the water despite the cold, and died after his condition worsened. After he left Chicken Coop Mountain, he forgot about it. Later, he and Liu Guifei met in Yangzhou Mansion to start a new round of carnival.
He had heard that the prostitutes in Yangzhou were very famous, so after arriving in Yangzhou, he immediately went to the Qinglou to inspect them in person. This move doubled the value of the prostitutes. Zhu Houzhao had been partying in the south for eight months, while Wang Yangming had escorted King Ning to Nanjing City half a year earlier.
He wrote to Zhu Houzhao several times to deal with the prisoners, but they were all refused. It was not until Wang Yangming reported the news of the victory again, saying that this time he was able to capture King Ning, and it was all thanks to the heroic performance of the general Zhu Shou (that is, Zhu Houzhao himself) that he was able to quickly put down King Ning's rebellion.
It was only at this time that Zhu Houzhao reluctantly agreed to accept the prisoners and finally returned to Beijing.
On the way back to Beijing, Zhu Houzhao once had a strange idea to put King Ning back in Jiangxi to make trouble, and then go to arrest him himself. However, his ministers tried their best to dissuade him, and eventually he gave up on the idea.
Then, Zhu Houzhao's army arrived at Zhenjiang, and they crossed the Yangtze River from Guazhou. In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, they attacked Qingjiangpu. Zhu Houzhao saw the beautiful scenery on the river, the fish swimming freely on the shallow bottom, he immediately became playful, so he drove a small boat to the river to fish for fun.
However, Zhu Houzhao was not a fisherman, and although he fished for a while, he did not catch a single fish. Just as he was about to give up, he found that there were a lot of fish under his net, and he was overjoyed, and when he was excited, he pulled the net desperately, resulting in the hull losing its balance, and Zhu Houzhao also fell into the water.
Zhu Houzhao grew up in the north and didn't understand water, and he was very panicked when water choked on his lungs.
Although he was rescued from the water by the guards, Zhu Houzhao's physical condition deteriorated. Coupled with the pneumonia caused by the cold, he did not return to Beijing until the sixteenth year of Zhengde.
On the 14th day of the first lunar month, although he was weak, he still managed to preside over the sacrificial ceremony. However, in the middle of the ceremony, he vomited blood from his mouth, fell to the ground, and finally when he was dying, he may have repented, leaving his last words that "everything in the past is wrong, not predicted by you", and then died peacefully in the leopard's room.
His merits and demerits will be left to future generations to judge.
