What happened in the Ming Dynasty: Zheng De and Jia Jing were undoubtedly the two leading the decadent school in the late Ming Dynasty. By the Wanli period, society had completely declined. "Ming History Volume XV Filial Piety": "There is a world in Ming Dynasty, which has been passed down from generation to generation for 16 years. It can be called Renzong, Xuanzong and Xiaozong. " It means that only this 16 person can be sure in the Ming Dynasty. In A Brief History of China's Novels, Lu Xun explained that Jin Ping Mei was called "* * *": "At that time, it was actually fashionable. At the time of Chenghua, alchemist Li Zi, a monk, suddenly offered you the skills of sexual intercourse. During the Jiajing period, Tao was fortunate to be in Sejong, where he was a doctor, a minister with less money and less security, and was honest and honest. As a result, the wind of decadence gradually spread to the scholars, and the advisers and envoys of imperial imperial academy all started from the scholars, and they all borrowed the "Qiu Shi prescription" to ascend to the top. Instantaneous glory, secular envy, lucky people try their best to find strange prescriptions, but the world is gradually not ashamed to talk about boudoir prescriptions. The atmosphere has changed, which is in line with the spirit of Lin Wen. So since the alchemist began to use it, the prescription was filled with medicine and the spirit was aroused. The novel is full of ghosts and gods, and everything about the bed is also mentioned. It can be seen that the decadent wind in the late Ming Dynasty came from here. & gt Zhu Houzhao was Emperor Zhengde after Hongzhi in Jiajing period in the late Ming Dynasty. The emperor loved to play, so he gave the court affairs to Liu Jin, a treacherous court official, and devoted himself to playing. A magnificent palace named "Leopard Room" was built outside the West Gate of China, where rare birds, animals and beautiful women from all over the world were selected to indulge in debauchery. Seeing the beauty in the palace, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards said that women in the Western Regions are particularly attractive, and their skin is * * *, which is 100 times better than that of Han women. Zhu Houzhao listened, and immediately let Yu Yong do it. Yu Yong lived up to his mission. In fact, he succeeded in getting a group of amazing western women. Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he saw them and put them in the dark room of the leopard room. Zhu Houzhao's infatuation with debauchery is almost natural. Every day, musicians from Jiao Fang Department are called to play, but they are not satisfied. They ordered the Ministry of Rites to use the chief secretary to select people from all over the country to call to Beijing, and hundreds of actresses came to Beijing every day. * * * The musicians are singing and dancing, and Zhu Houzhao is eager to enter the role after admiration. He practiced day and night and forgot to eat or sleep. Sure enough, he learned something and could sing. Zhu Houzhao's spending on debauchery has reached an alarming level. In just a few years, the leopard room has been continuously expanded and has spent as much as 242,000 silver. & gt Zheng De restored the Gan Qing Palace in the ninth year and added one million taels of silver to the whole country. The military academy has used100000 people. Zhu Houzhao is becoming more and more interested in women, and anyone who introduces beautiful women to him will be richly rewarded. Ma ang, the company commander of Yansui, was originally dismissed after committing a crime. His sister is beautiful, but she is married and pregnant. Maang took it back from her husband's house and gave it to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. She not only restored Maang's position, but also gave him a mansion and a python suit. Zhu Houzhao Leopard Room was drunk and dreamy, and there was no delay outside the Leopard Room. Tai Su Hall, Ningcui Hall, Showa Hall, Guangji Hall and Wisdom Hall have been built successively. Nanhaizi Wharf was also expanded. These projects are so luxurious that all the bank savings that hongzhi emperor passed on to him were squandered. So he raised taxes in the whole country. When the tax increase could not be offset, the Minister of Industry asked Zhu Houzhao to sell the officials, and Zhu Houzhao agreed. * * * Selling an official is like selling vegetables in a vegetable market. No matter who pays, he can be an official with money, and even the absurd phenomenon that civil servants can't read and officers don't shoot. Officials from all over the country took the opportunity to work for the imperial court, increased the royal family's income by any means, and extorted money from the people under the banner of the emperor. Not only can they be promoted, but they can also enrich themselves. People live in poverty. & gt& gt Zhu Houzhao indulged in debauchery and neglected state affairs. Under the bitter admonition of ministers, he had to visit North Korea occasionally. Sometimes, civil and military officials wait from dawn until dark, but they avoid North Korea by order. Ministers have been waiting all day. On New Year's Day in the tenth year of Zheng De, a celebration ceremony was held according to the ancestral system. As usual, Zhu Houzhao accepted the congratulations from the officials. On this day, officials and foreign envoys gathered outside the palace gate at four o'clock and waited until Zhu Houzhao got up in the afternoon. The celebration didn't end until late at night. One day, hundreds of officials were hungry and fled when they heard the news, one after another, causing a stampede accident, and General Zhao Lang was trampled to death in the forbidden door. & gt Since the twelfth year of Zheng De, Zhu Houzhao, who was no longer satisfied with having fun in the palace, moved the idea of traveling outside the Great Wall at the instigation of his close minister Jiang Bin. Worried that the North Korean minister would stop him, he left Beijing quietly with Jiang Bin and his party without the escort of Yiwei's entourage, accompanying ministers and generals. He was stopped by the general Guan Shou and persuaded by the ministers who followed him to Beijing and had to return. A few days later, he secretly left Beijing by night. Minister Jiang Bin has restored the "palace" in the castle for Zhu Houzhao, including the women who were plundered during the journey. Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. It's not enough to have fun in the palace, but also rob women and disturb the people at night. The accompanying sergeant cooked without firewood, so he tore down the houses of the people to cook, and the people were miserable like thieves. On cloud nine, Zhu Houzhao decorated dozens of carriages with her, and uploaded hundreds of monks and women to make them fight with each other for fun. In March of the 13th year of Zheng De's reign, Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the burial of Empress Dowager Tai to make another tour. Grab dozens of women's cars along the way. Everywhere they went, people fled. A year later, Zhu Houzhao went to the Great Wall again on the grounds that Beikou violated the border. The brigade crossed the Yellow River in the west to Yulin, Shaanxi, then to Suide, and crossed the Yellow River in the east to Taiyuan. As long as they are attractive, all the women they meet, whether married or unmarried, are plundered. Liu Chang, the wife of Yang Teng, a musician in Taiyuan Jinwangfu, is very beautiful, took a fancy to her and took her for herself. She left and drove home. & gt less than a month after his return, he wrote a letter to the south of China. Ministers strongly opposed it. Zhu Houzhao will prevent his ministers from going to prison and punish 140 ministers who oppose his southern tour with sticks. At this time, it coincided with the rebellion of Zhu in the south of the Yangtze River. With the reason of "counterinsurgency", 100,000 troops went out to Beijing for a grand tour. Just arrived in Zhuozhou, the good news of the southern rebellion came. Zhu Houzhao read the good news, hid it and kept it secret, and continued to go south. The army went to Yangzhou and plundered women everywhere. For a time, the people were terrified, and those with daughters at home quickly got married. The plundered women were locked up in nuns, the rich were redeemed, most of the poor families committed suicide, and the rest were sent to the "general's office" to benefit. Zhu Houzhao likes swimming in Jiangnan. On the way back, he went fishing and goose hunting all the way to Qingjiangpu and learned to catch shrimp from fishermen. When casting the net, I accidentally fell into the water. I was scared and caught cold, and I couldn't afford to get sick. Died in the leopard room in 16 years. 3 1 year. & gt Zhu Houzhao has no children. Zhu's cousins inherited the throne, that is, Emperor Jiajing. There was a "palace change" in the Ming Dynasty, and the maid-in-waiting killed the emperor. This happened to Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was superstitious about Buddhism and Taoism, taking medicine and indulging himself. In the third year of Jiajing, Shao, a Taoist priest from Jiangxi, was called into the palace. Shao claimed to have the skill of immortality, and secretly talked with the emperor, which was greatly favored. He named him "Knowing a Real Person" and built a real person mansion for him in the city. Shao rearranged the fasting in the palace. In the fasting ceremony, most of the memorials written to the "gods" are beautiful in style, so they are called "green characters" because they are written on green paper with Zhu Bi. Emperor Jiajing regarded whether he could write green ci well as a standard to measure the talents of civil servants, so the civil servants in North Korea took writing green ci as a ladder to compete for favor. Shao died of illness and another alchemist, Tao, entered the palace. Tao claimed that "Yuan Chun Hong Dan" was made from menstrual blood of menarche girls and could live forever after taking it. Emperor Jiajing believed it and ordered local officials to select more than 300 children's palaces and women's palaces to prepare pharmaceutical raw materials. Tao was favored for providing prescriptions, and was promoted to a small official, a big official in the Ministry of Rites, and a middle official, receiving a salary, and was later named. Tao's descendants and disciples have been promoted. & gt& gt Emperor Jiajing took the medicine of Tao and got great pleasure. Frequently go to the folk to choose beautiful women, and as many as thousands of beautiful women enrich the harem. In addition to providing him with lewd pleasure, these ladies-in-waiting were enslaved by him. This is why maid-in-waiting Yang killed the emperor. Emperor Jiajing fell in love with Ruixiang again after middle age. Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, was accused of being unfavorable to the Japanese, so he presented a white deer captured in Zhoushan to the emperor, who was only angry and happy. Hu Zongxian then presented two white turtles and five large ganoderma lucidum. Emperor Jiajing named these two things "Jade Turtle and Xianzhi" and gave Hu Zong an official title and silver. You can get an official for offering Ruixiang, and a hundred officials will follow suit. Governors and ministers will compete for Fu Rui, and etiquette officials will express their congratulations. No one dares to speak in court. & gt The Dan medicine taken by Emperor Jiajing contains mercury, a toxic element. Long-term use causes chronic poisoning, numbness of limbs, pale face, wobbly walking and difficulty in speaking. Shaanxi alchemists and others concocted Various Fairy Prescriptions, New Books for the Aged and Gold. The stone medicine was presented together, and Emperor Jiajing ate it, and his nostrils bled and he was unconscious. After excessive treatment by doctors, he was unable to afford to fall ill and died in Jiajing 451February 14. & gt The decadent wind of the late Ming Dynasty, headed by these two emperors, reached its peak in Wanli. After Jiajing, Qin Long reigned for six years, and he was an emperor who devoted himself to the harem. Minister Shi Xing once went to Shu: I thought your majesty was caught in an all-night banquet, indulging in debauchery, and no one asked about the important affairs of the imperial court. A few eunuchs used power for happiness, and the world was hopeless ... As a result, Shi Xing was beaten by the court and dismissed for the people. Xu Jie was too talkative and was sent to a nursing home. Since then, no one has advised. Qin Long, a strong emperor, ran out of energy and died in just a few years. & gt The next emperor of Qin Long is Emperor Wanli. People who don't read history will also hear that there was an emperor in the Ming Dynasty who ignored North Korea for more than 20 years. In fact, there were two emperors in the Ming Dynasty who ignored the DPRK for more than 20 years, one was Jiajing and the other was Wanli. From the eighteenth year of Wanli to the forty-third year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli did not visit the DPRK for 25 years. & gt Emperor Wanli was in charge of state affairs at the age of 20 and had a huge harem with thousands of beautiful women. Emperor Wanli indulged in drinking day and night. Ministers have something to play, but they haven't seen him for a long time. They are so anxious that they have to beg even if they come to North Korea three or four times a month. Emperor Wanli thought it was ridiculous. The world belongs to me. I'm in no hurry. What's your hurry? As an official, Yan Yuren only met the emperor three times in his office for more than a year. Seeing the emperor indulge in debauchery, he published four proverbs of debauchery and wealth, hoping that the emperor would understand. The emperor was furious and wanted to sentence Luo to death. Persuaded by the minister, he was demoted to the people. From then on, he simply turned a blind eye to the state affairs, and it was not until the "strike case" occurred in the forty-third year of Wanli that he summoned the minister once. It took 25 years for civil servants in Manchu Dynasty to get a good look! From then on, until my death, I never went to North Korea again. It is more difficult for a minister to see the emperor than for a maid-in-waiting to see Tang Xuanzong! & gt China's land, in all dynasties, is to raise officials but not people. Every time the official is in trouble, ten sheep and nine sheep are herded. In the thirty years of Wanli, Daming was seriously short of officials. The ministers in Beijing are short of manpower, the ministers in charge of courtiers, ministers and priests are short of manpower, the governor is short of manpower, the chief secretary, the inspection department and the supervision department are short of manpower, and 25 prefectures and counties in the country are short of county orders. Half of the nine ministers in the Central Committee are vacant, and some government offices are vacant. Even Zhu Geng, a college student who participated in the research, has not seen the emperor for three years. By the forty years of Wanli, there was only one cabinet official, only one in Liu Qing, and more than half of the governments in the country had no magistrate. Thousands of new scholars and teachers are on standby in Beijing. In February, forty-five years of Wanli, one day, early in the morning, 100 people knelt on the ground in a circle outside Chang 'an Gate, crying bitterly. It turned out that the families of the prisoners held by the Zhen Fu Department were crying. There is no official in the yamen, and the prisoner has not been sentenced for a long time. What kind of scene will civil society be like when the country is abandoned to such an extent? & gt It is difficult for readers of Jin Ping Mei to understand how that era degenerated to such a state and how there were scum like Ximen Qing! It's actually quite common. The decadent wind of the late Ming Dynasty has spread from temples to the whole society. Jin Ping Mei is a history of social customs from Jiajing to Wanli in the late Ming Dynasty. Ximen Qing took the medicine of monk Hu and indulged himself, but it was a drop in the bucket. " "History of the Ming Dynasty" Volume 20 "Zongshen" commented on Emperor Wanli: "Strict in the palace, lax in discipline ... so this villain likes power and interests, and he is hostile to upright people. As a result, people are suspicious, virtuous and treacherous, ruined and broken, and hopeless. Therefore, the commentator said that he died, but he actually died. 」& gt
