How cruel was Emperor Jiajing? Let the ladies-in-waiting collect dew and alchemy every day

In ancient times, maid-in-waiting was definitely one of the high-risk occupations. Serving the most powerful person in the world is a good thing, but it was accidentally destroyed. If you meet a killer, just die. If you meet an emperor with quirks, it's really worse than death!

Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty believed in Taoism, and his greatest dream in life was to live forever. To this end, he did his best. An alchemist told Emperor Jiajing that alchemy with morning dew had miraculous effects, and Emperor Jiajing ordered maids to get up early to collect dew!

Maid-in-waiting is a kind of high-intensity physical labor. The emperor sits, they stand, the emperor lies, they stand, and they have to be vigilant at all times. A little negligence, waiting for them is the death of the soul, they are afraid all day long, but also get up early to collect dew. Life is miserable! As a result, the elixir refined with dew had no effect, so the alchemist told Emperor Jiajing that making elixir with women's menstruation would definitely have an effect, and the maids suffered again. In order to ensure the "purity" of menstrual blood, Emperor Jiajing ordered that ladies-in-waiting should not eat or drink in the next few days!

For a time, the concubines in the palace were collectively punished by the addiction of Emperor Jiajing, which can be said to be terrible. Seeing that the sisters around them were tortured to death by this immoral tyrant, the maids decided to fight back. So, on a dark night in a month, while Emperor Jiajing was sleeping, a dozen maids headed by Yang came to Yikun Palace where Emperor Jiajing stayed and strangled Jiajing with a rope in an attempt to end the life of this wicked monarch and avenge the innocent and tragic sisters.

But after all, she is a maid-in-waiting and has no experience in killing people. Besides, the object is a "ninth five-year plan" emperor. In desperation, the maids made a fatal mistake. They tied the rope that strangled Jiajing's neck to a fast knot and saved Emperor Jiajing's life. Otherwise, a unique emperor who was killed by a maid-in-waiting appeared in the history of China.

The last dozen maids were beheaded, the first and almost only uprising in history, which ended directly before it started.
