Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He felt that Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping, had made great contributions and rewarded him with several beautiful women. But Chang Yuchun's wife is a super jealous woman, and Chang Yuchun is afraid of the lion's roar, so she dare not "enjoy" these beautiful women. Once, a "royal beauty" brought Chang Yuchun a bowl of bird's nest soup. Chang Yuchun couldn't help looking at her jade hand, so Chang Yuchun's wife chopped off the arm of the "imperial beauty". Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he learned that Chang Yuchun's wife was about to be brought into the palace.
In court the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered two sturdy eunuchs to carry a pot of soup and "please" Chang Yuchun and other officials to taste it. I saw that the soup was sticky and muddy, and the content was quite complicated. I don't know what ingredients it is made of. After Chang Yuchun and other ministers tasted it, Zhu Yuanzhang said it was a "jealous woman soup" that was "unprecedented, and no one came after it". Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang cut Chang Yuchun's wife into pieces, chopped it into paste, and boiled it into "jealous soup".
According to the records of Baixia Zatan Edition in the late Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang cooked Chang Yuchun's wife into "Jealous Soup", there was no peace every night, and the ghost of "Jealous Soup" broke into Zhu Yuanzhang's dream every night, which made him miserable. Even weirder, on one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang "bumped into" Chang Yuchun's wife in broad daylight when he visited his "Changle House" (Ming Tomb). She went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang, pointed at his nose and cursed him, saying that she would not only make Zhu Yuanzhang restless before his death, but also make him restless after his death. ...
When Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the body guard to arrest the murderer of Chang Yuchun's wife, she suddenly disappeared like a native grandson. Zhu Yuanzhang panicked and didn't know what to do. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that after his death, the ghost of Chang Yuchun's wife would really invade the underground and make him restless in the underworld. So he adopted the Feng Shui master's suggestion and designed the Shinto of the Ming Tombs as a bend, in order to prevent Chang Yuchun's wife from trespassing underground, so she could only "go straight" and not "beat around the bush". Baixia Zatan also said that the straight design of Shinto in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum was originally intended to dig out the tomb of Sun Quan, the emperor of Wu Dong who "banned" Shinto, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered craftsmen to "turn Shinto into a corner", just bypassing Sun Quan's tomb. At this time, the minister in charge of building the Ming Tombs asked Zhu Yuanzhang whether Sun Quan's mausoleum should be preserved. Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Sun Quan is also a hero. Leave him to show me the gate ... "
Commenting on Zhu Yuanzhang's "ghost in the daytime", a doctor later said that Zhu Yuanzhang did not rule out mental illness and auditory hallucinations in his later years.
2? A strange case of thrilling driving: Judy
According to Bai Xia Za Tan, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, when Judy was in power, there was a minister named Jing Qing who went to Zuo Shu to be an official. He entered North Korea with a sharp sword, trying to assassinate Judy, the Yongle Emperor crowned with a monkey, and avenge Zhu Jun's grave in Ming Huidi. Because of the leak, he was caught red-handed by bodyguards. Judy was furious and ordered Jing Qing to be killed and hurt his family. Later, he didn't take revenge, all the villagers and neighbors related to him were executed, and the whole village where Jing Qing lived was in ruins. After Jing Qing's family and old friends were destroyed, Judy was still in Yu Nu, so she ordered the guards to peel off Jing Qing's skin, put it in a thatched cottage and hang it on the left door of Chang 'an. Incredibly, a few days later, when Judy passed the left gate of Chang 'an in a chariot, it came as a bolt from the blue, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, flying sand and stones. When Judy, who had a ghost in her heart, was afraid, the wind blew the skin of Jingqing people hanging on the gate to the sky. This human skin, wrapped in a strong wind, went straight to the sky, stunned thousands of witnesses on the ground. Just when everyone was stunned by this mysterious thing, Pi Jing once again passed through the dark clouds and floated in the sky like a kite with a broken line. The wind shuttled through several knife holes in the skin, making a frightening cry of the devil. This strange birthday thing shocked the Chinese people and the well-informed Yongle Emperor Judy! The distraught Judy was just about to tell her subordinates to go home. This erratic man, Pi Jing, fell straight in front of Judy and frightened Judy in the car on the spot. This "supernatural" incident made Judy seriously ill and could not appear in court in January.
According to "Miscellaneous Tan under the White Sea", Ming Chengzu killed thousands of "Hui Di's best friends" when he was emperor in Nanjing because he slaughtered too many people in the "Battle of Jingnan". Judy, who was afraid of ghosts and gods, was already very scared, and now there is a strange case that makes her skin tremble. Superstitious Judy thinks Nanjing is "too Sha Qi" to stay any longer. After the capital of Beijing was established, Prime Minister Yao built two bronze giant clocks for him. Some historians speculate that this is because the Ming emperor Judy wanted to build these two powerful clocks to protect his safety. There is only one of these two big clocks, which weighs more than 400 kilograms and is 7 meters high.
After moving the capital to Beijing, he also accepted the suggestion of Yao, a Buddhist, and took out some building materials from the Ming Palace in Nanjing to build the Beijing Palace. This move is not to save building materials, but to "exorcise evil spirits." Yao believes that although the capital has been moved from Nanjing to Beijing, it is inevitable that ghosts will follow him, and these ghosts will definitely move in Beijing Palace. In order to "exorcise evil spirits", Beijing Palace should be doped with some building materials of Nanjing Palace. Because Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor who dominated the world, lived in Nanjing Palace for many years, the palace was full of domineering, and the building materials of the official department would also be "influenced" by this domineering. On this basis, Yao can "exorcise evil spirits" by mixing "domineering" building materials into Beijing Palace.
Commenting on this incident, later generations said that in order to move the capital to Beijing, Judy of Ming Taizu specially ordered the kite-flying master to use the "darkness" to forge this sensational "skin-shaking driving" incident.
3? "This world" after Jiang's death
During the transition to the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan, who lived east of the Yangtze River, built a stone city in Jinling, Chu (now the site of Shicheng in Qingliangshan, Nanjing). After the completion of Stone Town, Sun Quan issued a decree to change Moling County into Jianye County, and the county administration was moved from Moling Pass to Stone Town. Nanjing folk proverb says "Moling comes first, then Jianye", which is history.
Rulu, a native of Guangling (now Yangzhou), was the prefect of Muring County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. On one occasion, he led his troops to the foot of Zhongshan, was ambushed by thieves, died in the line of duty and was buried at the foot of Zhongshan. When Sun Quan was in charge in Nanjing, many Dongwu officials said that Jiang was seen riding a white horse, holding a white feather fan and taking his entourage on the Dongjiao Avenue more than once, and his style was the same as before. Several Wu Dong officials invited Sun Quan to pay attention to this strange thing unheard of in ancient times. However, Sun Quan not only disagreed, but also reprimanded several officials for being "cynical". Unexpectedly, one night, Sun met Jiang in the bedroom, and they talked for a long time about governing the country and the people. Sun Quan also personally sent Jiang out of the palace and watched him leave on a white horse. When Sun Quan witnessed Jiang leaving, he was surprised to find himself standing alone outside the bedroom fighting for a robe. Sun Quan suspected that he was just sleepwalking, so he asked the guards on duty outside the bedroom how he left the dragon couch and how he came outside the bedroom. How dare all the guards "make irresponsible remarks" to the emperor? They only said assiduously that Corporal Li Xian, the emperor, just looked at a handsome man riding a white horse, holding a white feather fan and wearing official clothes. ...
Sun Quan is so absorbed in the past that he doesn't know if he is in a dream. Back to the bedroom, Pan Huanghou told him that she witnessed Sun Quan get up and send a handsome man out, with a white feather fan in his hand and a powerful official uniform. She tried to dissuade her, but she seemed to have a fateful boulder and could not speak. She could only watch Sun Quan go out hand in hand with the handsome guy who broke into the bedroom that night. At this time, Sun Quan suddenly remembered the "absurd memorial" written by several ministers a few days ago. After thinking about it repeatedly, he felt that they were right, "the performance was not empty." As a result, Sun Quan allocated a huge sum of money in Jiangjian Temple to "appear after death" and changed his name to Zhongshan. Several officials "bumped into" Liucun, a small village in the river, riding a white horse and holding a white feather fan. Sun Quan renamed it Baima Village. In addition, Sun Quan also ordered local officials to build a temple for Jiang's sacrifice, which was called "Temple" in history. As place names, the remains of Baima Village and Wang Jiang Temple still exist today.
According to Nanjing folklore, Sun Quan gave preferential treatment to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was also kind to him. During the Three Kingdoms period, Jiang appeared many times to help the Dongwu regime build Nanjing, so Sun Quan named him the God of Zhongshan and renamed Zhongshan as. According to legend, Jiang, who has extraordinary powers, repeatedly performed miracles in the battle of Feishui, and also rescued the famine many times. Therefore, many emperors of the Southern Dynasties who later established Nanjing as their capital studied Sun Quan and gave gifts to Jiang many times. When the Southern Qi Dynasty was in a coma, it was even made emperor. It is also said that Jiang Wenzi was later named the underworld and became Qin Guang, the first king of the Seven Chapters.
Did Sun Quan really see Jiang, a former official who came back from the dead? Obviously impossible. Xu, a small official in the Western Jin Dynasty, said in Nightmare under the Lamp that Sun Ce, Sun Quan's younger brother, wanted to harm Zuo Ci because he didn't believe in his magical powers. As a result, he was rewarded, not only because he lost points among ministers and people, but also because he was "impious". Sun Quan was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so he pretended to be a ghost and climbed up with Jiang, who was "resurrected from the dead" in the eyes of Chinese people, to show that he was not a "mortal", unite the hearts of the ruling and opposition parties, and let the herdsmen control the ministers. The author thinks that Xu is quite insightful about "Sun Quan's Night Meeting with Jiang".
As the saying goes, if there is a ghost in your heart, you will hit a ghost. Jiang Wenzi and Sun Quan's banquet was just a lie he made up to improve his position, but it was turned into a legend connecting man and god by the flattering ministers below, which was in line with the theocratic concept of ancient monarchies. Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are skin-scaring ghosts, because after they ascended the throne, in order to consolidate their dominant position, they killed too many people and had ghosts in their hearts. Together with the rich imagination of ordinary people, they evolved into a series of "supernatural" events.
