Ming history joke

This emperor can be said to be very remarkable.

On one occasion, Zhu Houzong heard a Taoist priest say that eating elixir can make you live forever. An alchemist told Jiajing Emperor that it was wonderful to use morning dew to make an elixir. Jiajing Emperor ordered the ladies-in-waiting to get up early to collect dew! As a result, the alchemist told Emperor Jiajing that alchemy with women's menstruation would be effective, so the ladies-in-waiting suffered again. In order to ensure the "purity" of menstrual blood, Emperor Jiajing ordered ladies-in-waiting not to eat or drink in the next few days!

In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled by more than a dozen maids because of Taoist alchemy, which was called "Renyin Palace Change" in history and made a big joke. Under the guidance of the ladies-in-waiting, dozens of ladies-in-waiting joined forces and decided to kill Jiajing. They put a rope around Jiajing's neck, but they made a fast knot in their panic, and no matter how they got it, they couldn't die. Emperor Jiajing killed all these maids. Then he moved to the western heaven outside the palace and lived there until he died.
