Views:

Emperor Jiajing said: Confucius has high virtues, and "filial piety" is the first of all virtues. Later emperors and kings regarded benevolence as the foundation of self-cultivation, and "filial piety" as the way of self-cultivation.

"The body grows skin, the parents who are affected by it, dare not hurt, the beginning of filial piety. Standing on the way, famous in later generations, to show your parents, and the end of filial piety. Husband's filial piety begins with the matter of relatives, loyal to the ruler, and finally establishes himself." The meaning is: the body, limbs, hair and skin of a person are all endowed by their parents, and they dare not be damaged or disabled. This is the beginning of filial piety. People in the world follow benevolence, righteousness and morality, make achievements, and show fame in later generations, so that parents can be glorified. This is the ultimate goal of filial piety. The so-called filial piety begins with serving one's parents and then serving as a monarch. In the end, he makes contributions and achieves fame.

In order to make his son Emperor Jiajing make greater progress in learning, King Xingxian Zhu Youzhu also set up a special library, and asked Huguang to propose deputy envoy Zhang Bangqi to serve as lecturer.

Zhang Bangqi is a scholar of Confucianism, and his mission of supervising studies is "I can't learn to be honest, but I can't do it, and I can't."

Under Zhang Bangqi's meticulous guidance, Zhu Houhu made rapid progress and quickly became familiar with Confucian classics and Yiying etiquette.

Jiajing emperor Zhu Houhu remembered these teachings in his heart, which had a profound impact on his later life.

Due to the good education of his father Zhu Youjian, Emperor Wuzong died and had no heir in the 16th year of Zhengde. The Queen Mother Zhang and cabinet chief Yang Tinghe and other ministers believed that the son of King Hing, Zhu Houhui, was "smart, benevolent and filial, moral and ethical, and Lun Xu was established. ", became the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Houxuan became the Emperor of Jiajing from the throne, despite the opposition of hundreds of officials, he insisted on chasing after his biological father Zhu Youzhu as the emperor, and even with the hundreds of officials as the enemy, set off a "great ceremony" dispute, blood stained the court, this is the same as the original king of Xingxian Zhu Youzhu Filial piety education is inseparable.

The Jiajing Emperor's love for Taoism also originated from the King Xingxian.

When King Xingxian was still in the Beijing palace, Taoist activities were frequent in the palace. His father Emperor Xianzong was very fond of Taoism, and his brother Emperor Xiaozong also had a special liking for Taoism. Under the encouragement of the eunuch Li Guang, he engaged in many Taoist burning and fasting activities. The actions of his father and brother also had a great influence on King Xingxian. After he became Fanan Luzhou, he had close contacts with the local Xuanmiao Taoist scholars. They have traveled all over Anlu's Lantai, Yangchuntai, Chong'an Mountain and other places of interest.

However, King Xingxian was not only obsessed with cultivating Taoism. The first thing that King Xingxian Zhu Youjian did when he arrived in Anlu was to visit the Confucian Temple, Mingluntang, listen to the scholars' lectures, and give Baochu to Yu Zhusheng, and lili. The temple, decorated with temple gates, is a place where Confucianism, Taoism, and Fist.

King Xingxian studied the book of Confucius repeatedly and was very strict with Confucianism and ethics. He writes characters, composes poems, and plays drums and piano every day, and he has never stopped in Zhongxiang for more than 20 years. "Therefore, he is very strict in his body, not to be willing to drink, not to be sensual, not to reap profit, not to play with rare things, not to talk about skills, not to prostitution, not to admire the fairy Buddha, he must be careful in his laughter, and his clothes must be righteous." Xing King Xian Zhu Youjian strictly used Confucian ethics to restrain himself so as to have a good demeanor of the king.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Liang Dong, the magistrate of Changshou County, built a school on the site of Song Yu's residence. Because the building was a wood structure, although it was repaired many times, it was still dilapidated.

In the eighth year of Hongzhi, soon after King Xingxian became Fan Anlu, he visited the academy many times and was very concerned about the construction of the academy.

Later, King Xing's Mansion made a huge sum of money to replace all thatched roofs of the academy with tiles, and also added beautiful glazed tiles to important positions, such as the door of the star gate.

The refurbishment of the Xuegong Palace by King Xing's Mansion not only made the Xuegong's houses beautiful and beautiful, but also made them strong and durable. In the following twenty years, the Xuegong's houses have not been damaged anymore.

Until the thirteenth year of Zhengde, although the building of the Xuegong was not damaged, but it was old, King Xingxian took the initiative to make money again, and thoroughly repaired the Xuegong again.

Xing Wangxi is writing, good literature, loves poetry and calligraphy, and refuses to participate in many other leisure activities of his peers, but indulges in the pastime of art and literature. "As the saying goes, "There is no short-term loss of actors, no joy of singing and drinking at night." "It has exerted a huge influence and promotion on Anlu's cultural development.

In the leisure time, recite poems and make fus, watch the scenery and play chess, became an elegant pastime that King Xingxian brought to Anlu. He has written "Hanjiang Fu", "Yangchuntai Fu", "Hanchuntang Manuscript Collection", "Jien Poetry Collection" and other poems and fu for the world.

On June 17, the fourteenth year of Zhengde, the king of Xing Zhu Youjuan died of heat and was only forty-four years old. The posthumous title given to him by the court was Xian, and he later called him "king of Xingxian."

According to the "Records of Wu Zong": "Xingxian Wang Zhu Youzhu" has a majestic appearance, a loud voice, and lives without any illness. It’s not accidental that a big star fell in the northwest the eve before the death of the philosopher."

His nephew, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, was very sad when he learned the news, and "dropped out of the court for three days." He gave the posthumous title and Kui Zhiwen, and sent Wu'an Hou Zhenggang to Anlu to pay homage to him, and ordered Wang Xuan, a pedestrian secretary, to take charge of the funeral in Anlu. Empress Dowager Cishou and birth mother of King Hing Zhu Youzhu, Shaw, commissioned the sacrifices of Zhang Zuo and Huang Yingci respectively. In November, officials from Liubu, Wufu, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were drawn to make sacrifices. In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, he was buried in Dongsonglin Mountain of Xingwang Mansion under the rules of the prince.

After the death of King Xing Zhu Youzhu, Yang Bao, the guard eunuch, made a comprehensive summary of King Xing’s life during the memorial to the Emperor Jiajing: "Please welcome, respect the right way, forbid heretics, be thrifty, obscure, worship the gods, and be faithful. Respect, go to luxury, but give, Pu Enze, Righteous Sacred Heart, good old ministers, prudent punishment, comforting people, worshiping sacred learning, ministers of rituals, famine and drought relief, flood relief, light economic benefits, broad benevolence, prayer , Don’t give money, help border troubles, consolidate the city, give priority to the eunuchs, pay attention to the system, favor the official, show favor to the people, be respectful of courtesy, sympathize with the former official, educate talents, and advocate excellence."

King Xingxian had a wide range of virtuous names and outstanding virtues throughout his life, and the followers and subordinates who followed him throughout his life were also different from those of other princes. Most of them were generous, courteous and knowledgeable, and even the eunuchs who followed him were more talented and learned.

At that time, there was a guard of ceremonies in the royal residence of Xing Dynasty, and the guard of ceremonies was in charge of the guards of the royal guards. Generally military academies, belonging to the Jinyiwei series, with as many as 3,000 and as few as hundreds.

The most respected battle of King Xing Wang was Lu Bing’s father, Lu Song. After Emperor Jiajing entered Beijing, he was promoted to the rank of Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei. After that, he was tired from the official to the governor. He went home to recuperate because of physical discomfort. On duty again.

Zhu Chen, Luo An, Wang Zuo, Chen Yin and others have all served in the Department of Health and Health, and they have all been taught by King Lao Xing. They are generous and congenial. The feelings of these people are self-evident.

After Jiajing Emperor became the throne, Zhu Chen took over the post of Jiang Bin, the commander who was plucked, but because of his old age, his physical condition was declining. Soon after, Emperor Jiajing ordered Luo An to take over as the commander and let Zhu Chen go home for retirement. .

Today, Lu Song’s son, Lu Bing, came to Fusi in Beizhen and served as the town’s ambassador. Luo An and Wang Zuo were very happy, and naturally let their confidants cooperate fully.
