Not a single concubine appears in "Daming Dynasty 1566". Moreover, at the beginning of the TV series, it is introduced that the Xiyuan Wanshou Palace is on fire, and the Jiajing Emperor is forced to live in the Yuxi Palace, and then there is a meditation and monastic scene that runs through the whole drama.
So I always thought that jiajing cultivation was crazy and really not close to women. Coupled with the change in the Palace of Nongyin, I think it is simply reasonable.
However, in the "Biography of Jiajing", it is said that the reason why the Wanshou Palace was on fire was because Old Jiajing and The little concubine played with fireworks in the tent and made it themselves. At that time, I was shocked, but I also pitied the courtiers for not building a palace for him!
Not only that, there is a chapter in the book that systematically introduces Jiajing's harem, saying that it is the largest in the whole Daming!
I was shocked again, saying that the good cultivator asked about eternal life? All day long fairy fluttering, pure heart, four seasons often serve no more than eight sets, why not the same lak?
Jiajing was only fourteen when he ascended the throne, and it is now adolescence, and in ancient times, he should marry his daughter-in-law. The ministers arranged to marry him an empress and two concubines.
The empress's surname was Chen, and she was the first empress of Jiajing.
That year, young and young, they first tasted personnel. Jiajing felt good, so that he couldn't stop the car and indulged in excessive indulgence and had a disease.
Logically, there should be no dissatisfaction, but JiaJing still had a thorn in his heart. The reason was that he hated his great aunt, Empress Zhang, the mother of the former emperor Zhu Houzhao. Well, in fact, it has nothing to do with Empress Zhang, it is Jiajing herself who has opinions about Empress Zhang, and she also has a grudge against Empress Chen, who is presided over by Empress Zhang.
The so-called heart is meant to be in the heart, at least there is nothing wrong with the surface and harmony. Even when Empress Chen was pregnant, Jiajing still sat down and chatted, gossiped, and cultivated feelings.
But mustard is mustard in the end, and it is revealed as soon as something happens.
In fact, it is not a big deal, that is, Jiajing and Empress Chen were chatting once, two concubines were waiting next to them, and Jiajing touched his small hand when he saw the color. Empress Chen was pregnant, and when she saw her husband eating from the bowl and remembering the pot, she was in a bad mood, and she put down the tea bowl and prepared to leave.
It is said that people have made room for you, and if you get cheap, don't sell it. When the king of Kejiajing entered the government, his self-esteem was very fragile, and when he saw that the empress dared to throw her face at herself, she thought that Empress Zhang was on top of her mother, and then she was furious and reprimanded Empress Chen fiercely.
Empress Chen was directly frightened of miscarriage and blood collapse, and died within a few days.
Shen Meizhuang also died of blood collapse
The most ruthless thing is that Empress Chen wanted to see her mother before she died, but Jia Jing was stunned and disagreed, refuting the last wish of her wife in her early twenties and having just miscarried, which led to Empress Chen hating Jiuquan and dying blind.
After this, Jiajing straightened out the Shun concubine Zhang Shi of the two concubines and became his second empress. The reason is not how beautiful this Empress Zhang is, but when she first married Empress Chen, the concubine next to her was a souvenir given to her by Jiajing's mother.
It was for such a simple reason that Zhang Shunfei became Empress Zhang and worked hard for Jiajing for six years.
During this period, there were many things in the former dynasty, and there were also many businesses in the harem, and it was the empress's pro-silkworm ceremony, and it was for Jiajing's mother to publish the "Female Training", anyway, it was enough for this Empress Zhang to choke. Fortunately, Empress Zhang is quite capable, and she has worked hard and complained, and her reputation is very good for a while.
Then it was scrapped for a small thing.
It is still related to Empress Zhang. As mentioned earlier, Jiajing politics the Zhang family, and Empress Zhang has no way to ask for help. Among them, I came to find Empress Xiao Zhang. Empress Xiao Zhang was a good person, and she couldn't stand the old empress dowager to intercede every day, so she agreed to tell the emperor about it.
As a result, just one mouth was abolished, and it was tragically killed by the Yu Family Palace for two years, without even a nickname.
Then there was the third empress, surnamed Fang, who saved Jiajing's life during the change of the Palace of Nongyin.
But this one died worse than the first two, and was burned to death. Why?
Because when the palace changed, Empress Fang took the opportunity to execute her lover Cao Duanfei. And this Cao Duan concubine happened to be the more favored one of Jiajing during that period. Therefore, after the change of the Palace, Jiajing came back and began to hate the empress, so that later the palace caught fire, Empress Fang was trapped in the sea of fire, and Jiajing actually sat idly by, causing Empress Fang to be burned to death.
Poor Empress Fang, the non-human being saved
Jiajing's heart is really quite vicious, no matter how empress Fang also saved his life, it was his turn to sit and watch the other party die in the sea of fire. This little heart... And fix a fart! If The Taishang Laojun wants you to repair it!
Was that the look in his eyes at the time?
I even suspect that the fire in the Jiajing Palace is related to the Jiajing cultivation.
Why? Because in three days, he will have to engage in fasting, burning green words, and burning charms to ask what he is. In this way, one is that the money is spent a lot, and the other is that the open fire is continuous. Ancient buildings are all wooden structures, and when they are burned, they are not noisy.
Speaking of monasticism, this is also directly related to the size of Jiajing's harem.
Why? Because the ancient alchemists pleased the king, one was a slender student, and the second was the secret art in the room. The so-called elixir also mainly revolves around these two directions, and even the latter one is often more sacred because of its direct effect.
And even if it is not symptomatic, they refine the elixir, either mercury or arsenic, poisoned after eating, burning fire, not allowed to vent? Coupled with the fact that Jiajing ascended the throne early and began to have a harem in his teens, the demand in this regard is not large and large.
Again, as mentioned earlier, they used the menstrual blood of virgin menarche to refine dan medicine, the scientific name is "red lead", also known as "congenital dan lead".
Congenital dan lead
Correspondingly, the use of virgin urine to pinch the head and tail to boil out, called "Autumn Stone".
Autumn stone
These two things, Jiajing's needs are quite large. But the problem is that the child urine can be used repeatedly, and to refine the red lead, there must be a steady stream of little girls.
Therefore, Jiajing Dynasty's appetite for the conquest of xiunu was particularly large. For a while, people were panicked, and as soon as they heard that the palace wanted to choose a woman, they competed to marry their daughters first. In some places, as soon as you reach the age of thirteen, you start looking for a son-in-law. No matter how cruel it is, there are no single girls over the age of eight.
Look, what the scourge has become.
One is color, the other is medicine, and this is how the huge harem of the Jiajing Dynasty came from.
