The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious

Chapter 521 These guys want to kill the prince

Wanli really didn't expect that these civil servants would play crazy and stupid with him.

It's not that he can't do anything about the civil servants who are pretending to be crazy.

The key point is that the way these guys play is like a farce.

This kind of farce in the Ming Dynasty court has not been staged once or twice, but for one or two hundred years!

Once these guys feel that the situation is unfavorable and they can no longer defeat the emperor, they will stage all kinds of absurd farces.

Moreover, as the commotion continues, the emperor will die inexplicably!

These guys acting crazy and stupid is just the beginning of the farce, and even more absurd things will happen later.

What else can these guys do now?

What other methods can these guys come up with to kill him?

To be honest, this is unlikely. He is very concerned about his own safety. It is very difficult for civilians to kill him, almost impossible to succeed.

So, what else can these guys come up with?

By the way, there is another trick, which is to kill the future crown prince and reignite the fight for the national foundation!
This is certainly possible. If these guys go crazy, they can do anything. They even dare to kill the emperor.

The Ming emperors had died inexplicably more than one or two times, so killing a prince was no big deal for these guys!
The first crown prince appointed by the late Emperor Jiajing, Crown Prince Zhuangjing, died inexplicably, which frightened Emperor Jiajing so much that he didn't dare to appoint another crown prince.

It was rumored that Prince Zhuangjing was quite good and had shown signs of being a wise ruler at the age of twelve or thirteen. Jiajing was quite satisfied with him.

Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Prince Zhuangjing died inexplicably.

Now young Zhu Changxun has also shown his potential as a wise ruler.

These guys are most likely trying to use this trick!
Wanli frowned and pondered for a while, then said solemnly: "Xun'er, from now on, don't go back to your mother's palace to sleep at night. Wherever your father goes to sleep, you go there."

Uh, I asked what to do if these civil servants act crazy and stupid.

You want me to follow you all night?
When little Zhu Changxun heard this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He thought about it, but couldn't help asking: "Father, what's wrong?"

You don't know how crazy these civil servants are. They will kill the emperor or even the prince if they are disobedient!
This seems to be the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty.

In history, Taichang and Tianqi who came after him both died in unclear circumstances.

What would happen if the young Zhu Changxun, whom he had carefully cultivated, was killed by someone?
The successor is most likely the eldest son Zhu Changluo!

The eldest son Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Taichang, and then two red pills sent him to the west, then Tianqi, then Chongzhen, and then the Ming Dynasty perished!

This is the original trajectory of history!
Can he put the wheel of history back on track?
The Ming Dynasty cannot repeat the mistakes of history!
Wanli thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Xun'er, you must be careful from now on. Once these civil officials feel they can no longer control the current emperor, they will try their best to replace him with someone they can control."

what?
Upon hearing this, little Zhu Changxun was shocked and asked, "Father, are you saying they dare to kill the king?!"

What are they afraid of?

They have done this kind of thing many times.

Wanli nodded slowly and said, "They do dare, you must not take it lightly.

I won’t tell you about the distant ones, I will just tell you about the ones before me.

Do you know how the late Emperor Zhengde died?
The late Emperor Zhengde fell into the water for unknown reasons, caught a cold, and then passed away for unknown reasons.

Also, the late Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a palace maid, and he also inexplicably experienced several fires and was almost burned to death.

Your grandfather, the emperor, died inexplicably after only a few years on the throne.

They also said that your grandfather died because he was obsessed with the harem.

Can you believe this?

Throughout the dynasties, there have been countless emperors who were obsessed with their harems, but few died because of this. Especially those who died after being obsessed with their harems for only a few years are even rarer.”

These civil servants are extremely shameless. They not only secretly kill the emperor but also throw mud at him.

It is barely understandable that Emperor Longqing died because he was obsessed with the harem, at least Longqing was really obsessed with the harem for several years.

The Emperor Taichang in history died unjustly.

Emperor Taichang had been on the throne for only one month when he died because he was "obsessed with the harem"!

is it possible?

Obviously, this is impossible. Even if Taichang wants to kill himself, he doesn't have the ability to do so.

Are you kidding? You can kill yourself in a month. It's as if Emperor Taichang doesn't want to be emperor anymore and is in a hurry to reincarnate.

unprecedented.

An anecdote for the ages!

This is obviously impossible.

So the civil servants found an even more ridiculous reason: there were too many medicines.

is it possible?

The amount of medicine used by Emperor Jiajing was more than ten thousand times that of Emperor Taichang!

How could the Jiajing Emperor die within a month of his death? If it was really because he took too much medicine, then there must be something wrong with the medicine. This is self-inflicted. The red pill is poison!
At this moment, the incident with Emperor Taichang had not happened yet, but young Zhu Changxun was terrified.

He said with some fear: "Father, what should we do?"

I have thought of many ways to do this, and I have to teach you all of them.

Wanli thought for a moment, then explained in detail: "They usually like to use medicine, so you must be careful and never eat anything carelessly.

Also, when you are sick, you must not take medicine randomly. Some medicines are not poisonous, but they can continuously aggravate your condition, making you terminally ill and forcing you to seek medical treatment in desperation.

If they then give you a counteracting medicine, you will die suddenly.

In order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of this and poisoning someone, the emperor specially invited the families of Doctor Li and Doctor Wan to come.

Their medical skills are extremely high, and they are all orthodox doctors who have inherited medical ethics. It is impossible for them to give you random medicines.

You must remember, don't take any other medicine except the ones they prescribe, even if they are touted as miraculous and even claim to make you immortal, you should not take them.

Also, these two families must be won over and allowed to continue along with the royal family."

Medication?

Poison!

These guys are so scary!

Upon hearing this, little Zhu Changxun pondered for a moment, his face filled with fear. Then he asked, "Father, from now on, should I also have my food tasted by the eunuchs and palace maids before eating, just like you do?"

This is troublesome, but necessary.

Wanli nodded slightly and said, “Well, you’d better not eat anything that the eunuchs and palace maids have not tried.

Also, be careful with the eunuchs and palace maids; they could be bribed by the civil officials. You have to be vigilant and avoid keeping anyone with suspicious intentions around.

Is it useful to open your eyes just by looking at it?

Little Zhu Changxun frowned and pondered for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Father, how do I know which eunuchs and palace maids are suspicious?"

This is indeed a problem.

Wanli nodded slowly and said, “Well, I still need to think carefully about how to identify the eunuchs and palace maids.

There's also the possibility of a violent assassination, which is unlikely, but you still have to be on guard. You need to find some trustworthy experts to protect you personally."

Uh, a trustworthy expert?

Upon hearing this, little Zhu Changxun said with a look of embarrassment, "Father, where can I find a trustworthy expert? How can I find experts like my uncle and General Shan?"

This is also a problem.

The fact that he was able to find masters like his uncle Li Xuancheng and Shan Sinan was purely due to luck.

It is not easy to find a peerless master these days, and even if you find one, he or she may not be as reliable as Li Xuancheng and Shan Sinan.

He couldn't let the little guy look for it randomly. If he found someone who was greedy or extremely ambitious, it would be the end of him. Not only would the little guy be finished, but the Ming Dynasty might also be finished.

Where can I find this trustworthy expert?
Perhaps, we can consider dukes and nobles.

Wanli thought about it carefully, then nodded slowly and said, "Well, it is indeed difficult to find masters like your uncle and General Shan.

However, dukes, marquises and nobles can be considered. General Shan is also a duke, marquis and nobles. Moreover, dukes, marquises and nobles usually started their careers through military means and are generally very skilled.

If their skills are not good enough, then we can make up for it by using numbers. Your Majesty, please think about this carefully.

Another point is about the harem. You must remember not to be obsessed with it. Being obsessed with it is not good for your body, and there may be scheming people among the concubines in the harem.

King Zhou's treatment of Su Daji, King Fuchai of Wu's treatment of Xi Shi, and Emperor Minghuang of Tang's treatment of Yang Guifei were all lessons.

You can't favor a concubine just because she's pretty. You have to be especially careful about this. You must never favor someone who's playing tricks on you."

Concubines in the harem?

Little Zhu Changxun was quite puzzled and said, "Father, my aunt and the others are very kind to me. How could the concubines in the harem have bad intentions?"

You don't know how vicious Concubine Zheng was in history.

Wanli shook his head slowly and said, “These concubines of yours were all chosen by the emperor, and none of them have bad intentions.

There are countless intrigues among concubines in the harem, and there have been many cases of harems interfering in politics in history. These are all hidden dangers.

In fact, many countries have been destroyed because of their harems. You don’t know this yet. It seems you need to read more history books in the future.”

Uh, are you still reading history books?
Isn't it more important to save your life right now?
Little Zhu Changxun was still a little scared and asked, "Father, do you think they really dare to do it?"

This is not a question of whether they dare or not.

History has long proven that they absolutely dare.

Moreover, I have obviously pushed them into a corner now, and they probably had this idea a long time ago.

The problem now is how to prevent them from taking action.

These guys are willing to do anything to fight for power and profit.
