Since Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty died of extravagance at the age of 3 1 and had no children, his father Xiaozong and Queen Zhang fell in love all his life, and only Wuzong had an only son, the ministers decided to choose the throne from the nearest branch of the royal family. Therefore, Mr. Xiao's younger brother, Zhu Youyuan, the second son of Chenghua Emperor Wang Xing, is regarded as the latest royal family. At this time, Wang Xing has passed away, and his only son Zhu Houcong should inherit the throne. This is Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty, and his year number is Jiajing, 1 1 acting emperor. Emperor Jiajing, who ascended the throne from a foreign country, had mixed feelings. Soon, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, there was an argument between him and his ministers, which was a unique political event in the history of China. Emperor Jiajing lacked trust in the DPRK ministers and was very exclusive. Besides, nominally, he didn't. He disapproved of inheriting Dadong by adopting Xiaozong, so he wanted his biological father Wang Xing to be emperor. Before Zhu Houcong left for Beijing, Emperor Sejong, who was not enthroned, had a fierce dispute with his courtiers about the etiquette of welcoming him. Because the courtiers were forced by the situation, they finally gave in. Then, whether the Queen Mother, the biological mother of Emperor Sejong, can go to Beijing has also caused similar controversy. In order to stabilize the situation, the ministers gave in again. After these two incidents, the dispute between propriety and righteousness intensified. At this time, Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism reached a peak in the Ming Dynasty. Sejong's practice, in the view of ministers who flaunt respect for the moral standards of former teachers, is fatherless and monarchical, and they cannot agree with it. The ministers' opinions were unprecedentedly unified, and the paper of opposition was pressed on Emperor Jiajing like snowflakes. This made Emperor Sejong once ready to give up his ideas. At this time, a scholar named Zhang Cong took the opportunity to stand out and began to seek theoretical basis for Emperor Jiajing's practice of establishing his father as king. Theoretically, he sought a reasonable explanation for Zhang Cong Sejong, pursued his parents and criticized the ministers by quoting Confucian classics. He had a heated debate with the opposition minister in the court about his views. Although his article doesn't hold water, I can't stand business negotiations. But it won the favor of Emperor Jiajing, so Zhang Cong had to rise to the top in his official career. Emperor Jiajing also stepped up his efforts and trained a group of people who agreed with his views to enter the DPRK for discussion. So the court officials were gradually divided into two factions, the pro-faction ministers were called the ceremony-granting faction, and the opposition ministers were called the ceremony-protecting faction. Thanks to the support of Emperor Jiajing, the etiquette school has been growing, but most of them are old ministers and deeply rooted. The struggle between the two sides fell into infighting, and the two sides came and went, and the struggle finally heated up, and the incident of blood spattering Zuo Shunmen finally broke out. As the etiquette school headed by Zhang Cong and others gradually gained the upper hand, the elders of the etiquette school decided to collectively remonstrate with the emperor, including 23 Jiuqing, 20 Hanlin, 30 Shi Yu and other large teams of more than 200 people. They came to Zuo Shun's door. They can't. I couldn't get up on my knees and cried for a while. Emperor Jiajing was not intimidated by the formation of his ministers, and immediately sent several ministers headed by him to prison. Unexpectedly, it aroused the anger of ministers, and there was a commotion in front of Zuo Shun's door, and the scene gradually got out of control. Emperor Sejong decided to take this opportunity to eradicate the protector. As a result, 134 people were arrested and 86 people were convicted. The Royal Guards came from all directions and began a bloody crackdown. Zuo Shun's front door was dyed red with blood, which became a bloody tragedy in the history of Ming Dynasty. The Zuo Shunmen incident ended with the great victory of Emperor Sejong, and the power of the ministers of rites was purged. Through this incident, Emperor Jiajing not only realized his desire to be the emperor first, but also established his prestige, cultivated the strength he could rely on and stabilized the throne.
Anyone who caters to his beliefs will be taken seriously, including Yan Song, a famous traitor in China's history. Yan Song has no talent for governing the country, but he is particularly good at poetry and calligraphy. From 0755 to 79000, he had to admit that he was an ancient poet with a good reputation and was good at writing green poems. Being good at drafting sacrificial documents, he gradually got the position of cabinet assistant. Actually, this is a very interesting phenomenon. China's treacherous court officials are mostly famous for being good at calligraphy. Cai Jing, Qin Gui and Yan Song are all among them, but their calligraphy fame has been drowned by their evil names. Yan Song became the records, cronyism, accepting bribes. His son Yan Shifan is more bossy and does all kinds of bad things. Yan and his son were in power, and many flatterers came to take refuge. Yan Song once adopted more than 30 sons. With these minions, Yan Song can manipulate state affairs at will. During Jiajing period, people had different views on frontier defense. The Tatar Department in the north became stronger and stronger, which unified the Mongolian ministries and often invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression on the southeast coast won a decisive victory, and such a famous anti-Japanese general appeared. Yan Song himself is a Confucian scholar. He didn't. I don't care about military preparations at all. Instead, they used the opportunity of the North-South border war to embezzle and starve soldiers. Under the magical situation of the national army, the first season Mandarin version of Mirumo Mirumo was completely empty. Tatar leader An Dan Khan broke into the mainland several times, and the court had no right to organize resistance. In A.D. 1550, Anda Khan led the cavalry all the way to the suburbs of Beijing. Sejong Ming followed the advice of Yan Song Xiahou _ and appointed his protege Qiu Luan as the general to command reinforcements from all over the country to defend the capital. I'm afraid that once Yan Song is defeated, it will be criticized by the world. Instruct Qiu Luan not to go out of the city to resist, just stick to the capital. As a result, thousands of Tatar soldiers burned and looted near Beijing, taking away a large number of people, livestock and property. However, hundreds of Ming troops gathered in Beijing did not move, without an arrow. A year later, Yan Song and Qiu Luan colluded with the Tatars in secret, and prepared to make peace with Mongolia on the condition of paying tribute to cede territory. What Yan Song and Qiu Luan did aroused the indignation of some honest ministers, especially Yang Jisheng, the minister of war. Yang Jisheng is an upright man, and I believe that China, as a big country, can't damage its national reputation. He wrote to Ming Shizong many times and opposed the peace proposal. As long as the whole court can make Qiang Bing rich, it is just around the corner to expel the Tatars. Although Emperor Sejong of the Ming Dynasty wanted to fight Tatar, he was weak and could not stand the exaggeration of Yan Song, Qiu Luan and others. In the end, Yang Jisheng was excluded and demoted to Didao history books. Although Yang Jisheng was demoted to Didao, his will was not shaken by this setback. Didao is a place where ethnic minorities live together, and most of the locals don't know Chinese characters. When Yang Jisheng arrived there, he worked hard, loved the people and set up a school. Sell one to help teenagers from poor families learn. The locals like Yang Jisheng and call him Yang Fu. While Yang Jisheng managed Didao in an orderly way, the Tatars broke the rules and repeatedly attacked the frontier. Qiu Luan was afraid of the emperor's sin and died hastily. At this point, Ming Shizong realized that Yang Jisheng's opinion was right and asked him to be reinstated and transferred back to Beijing. At this time, Qiu Luan died, and Yan Song also wanted to woo Yang Jisheng to continue to control the military power. But Yang Jisheng hated Yan Song even more and decided that he was the chief culprit of Fengfeng. Less than a month after Yang Jisheng returned to Beijing, he exposed Yan Song's top ten crimes and wrote a letter to Ming Shizong with conclusive evidence. He also pointedly pointed out in his paper that Yan Song committed ten major crimes.
