Demon case in Ming dynasty:

When Emperor Wanli was 20 years old, his concubine Wang gave birth to his eldest son. At the age of 24, his favorite concubine Zheng gave birth to Zhu and added Zheng Weigui as his concubine. At that time, the queen had no son.

Therefore, the whole Qing Dynasty, Qiangong backyard are arguing about the ownership of the Crown Prince. This argument lasted for decades, which made Zongshen's harem and former dynasty restless. This is the famous "national-based struggle" in history. The center of this national debate is with her son Zhu, and the case of "worrying about danger _ discussing" has pushed this debate to the peak.

Zheng entered the harem at the beginning of Wanli. At that time, she was an absolute beauty, and Zongshen immediately fell in love with her and named her the imperial concubine. In the fourteenth year of Wanli, Zheng gave birth to Zhu, the third son of the emperor, and was promoted to imperial concubine. This national debate began in the second month after Zhu was born. At that time, Zongshen loved Zheng Guifei and left Zhu Changluo's mother aside.

Imperial concubine, he changed the subject as soon as he talked about the establishment of the prince. The eldest son is 5 years old, and there is no question. Courtiers will inevitably worry: Does the emperor intend to make Zheng Guifei's son, and does Zheng Guifei intend to make his son a prince because he loves 3,000?

In the name of the youngest son of the emperor, Shenzong repeatedly delayed the conferring of the crown prince, and the dispute between countries became increasingly obvious. In order to love the princess and her son, Zongshen actually confronted the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Officials who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic would rather be demoted, cut and beaten, and never tolerate the emperor harming the public with private interests.

In May of the 26th year of Wanli, the case of "Boudoir Book" made the dispute between the country and the country enter a white-hot stage. Lv Kun, a judge from Shaanxi Province, edited a book called Boudoir Map.

When Zheng Guotai saw it, he thought it could be used to cater to the emperor and Zheng Guifei. So, on the basis of the original, Zheng Guotai made up the part of empresses, ranking first with Queen Han Mingde, and finally with Zheng Guifei today. The appearance of the new edition of Boudoir Fantu Zhi undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of this national dispute.

Soon, a book called "Worrying about Danger _ Discussion" was introduced into the harem, which was full of things abolished in past dynasties. Historical stories are quoted in the book, denouncing the behavior of abandoning children.

Obviously, this book is aimed at Zheng Guifei and his beloved son. After causing such a sensation in Beijing, the fear of danger also made the harem and the court fidgety. Zongshen was very angry and made an imperial edict without thinking: Xu Zuo, the right consultant of Duchayuan, and Liu Chuxian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, were removed; Imperial academy Liu Yingqiu offered wine.

In November of the 31st year of Wanli, a book named "Continued Worry and Danger _ Discussion" suddenly appeared in Beijing, with a total of more than 300 words, saying that Zongshen was ready to re-establish the Prince and shake the foundation of the country, and the book denounced Zheng Guifei.

Overnight, the contents of this book were posted all over the palace gate alley, which immediately alerted the harem. After this book appeared, Manchu was shocked, and the immortal was furious, and ordered the factory guards to investigate it and find out the mastermind of this book. This case of "worrying about danger _ discussing" made many court officials who supported the prince miserable.
