《Ming Dynasty 1566》E36
Episode 36
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there were endless intrigues and intrigues in the palace.Feng Bao had already aroused the extreme disgust of Emperor Jiajing because he secretly traveled between the inner palace and Prince Yu's palace many times, secretly delivering messages to Lu Fang and Prince Yu.His behavior not only challenged the majesty of the imperial power, but also created an atmosphere of unrest in the court.
With the collapse of the Yan Party, Emperor Jiajing lost important power against hundreds of officials, which made him even more eager to find new agents.Chen Hong, a ruthless and manipulative eunuch, came into the sight of Emperor Jiajing.Chen Hong not only won the trust of Emperor Jiajing, but also had the means to deal with all the officials in the court.Emperor Jiajing then ordered Chen Hong to declare that Feng Bao would be expelled from the palace and sent to Chaotian Temple to perform hard labor.This move was not only a punishment for Feng Bao, but also declared to the entire court that the imperial power was unchallengeable.
The prince was naturally reluctant to leave Feng Bao, but Chen Hong took the opportunity to deliberately provoke Concubine Li. He was punished, but he successfully pointed the finger at Lu Fang.Chen Hong's plan was extremely vicious. It not only made Emperor Jiajing more suspicious of Lu Fang, but also put Lu Fang's position in the court in jeopardy.
As expected, Emperor Jiajing fell into the trap and immediately issued an order to eliminate dissidents starting from the Tixing Division and Zhenfu Division. This series of political purges made everyone in the court panic.In this power game, Lu Fang became the victim.Emperor Jiajing reluctantly sent Lu Fang, who had been with him for forty years, to Nanjing to guard the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao. This decision was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lu Fang and a huge shock to the entire court.
