When Chu Di was saddened by the loss of his beloved princess, a maid-in-waiting revealed that all of them were poisoned by arsenic in collusion with eunuchs and silversmiths. Judy was furious and ordered the eunuch and silversmith who poisoned the defendant to be executed without careful examination, while Lu was tortured and branded with a soldering iron for a month before he died. Hundreds of people were killed because of Lu's participation.
The person who exposed Lu's poisoning was also surnamed Lu, the daughter of a North Korean businessman, and she was called "Jia Lu" in the history books.
In the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420), the favorite princess Wang suddenly became critically ill. At this time, someone in the palace reported Jia Lu's "adultery" with the official (the maid-in-waiting and the official were married as partners, but actually had no substantive sexual behavior, just comforted and cared for each other, and the palace called them "vegetable farmers" or "diners"). Emperors in the late Ming Dynasty often took a laissez-faire attitude towards such things. Ming Xizong even personally married eunuchs and maids.
Judy flew into a rage. Jia Lu and Shi Yu were afraid of disaster and hanged themselves.
Judy never gave up, but also promoted the method of implicating others, arrested the maids who were closely related to Jia Lu, and tried them in person to see if Jia Lu and others had other plans. The maid-in-waiting was tortured and lied that someone in the harem was trying to murder the emperor. This confession aroused Judy's ferocious nature. As a result, more people were arrested and more people were beaten to confess. Nearly 3000 maids and maids pulled hundreds of strings and committed themselves to "rebellion".
Judy ordered that these beautiful ladies-in-waiting selected from all over the country be fined. The so-called punishment is the death in the middle of the year. This kind of punishment is mainly used to execute political prisoners such as "rebellion" and "rebellion".
During the execution, Judy personally went to the execution ground to supervise the execution, and often personally killed the maids. When a Hebei maid-in-waiting was punished, she scolded Judy: "You are old and young, and our maid-in-waiting is in love with an official. What's the crime!"
Judy was even more furious and asked the painter to draw a picture of Jia Lu hugging the eunuch, which was displayed everywhere in the Imperial Palace, humiliating the innocent maid-in-waiting, bring disgrace to oneself. According to the Records of the Li Dynasty, when the maids were massacred, some of them were destroyed by lightning, and the maids were jubilant, thinking that they would stop the slaughter for fear of being punished by heaven, but "they didn't take it as a warning, just like usual".
In A.D. 1424, Judy sent troops to the desert for the fifth time and died in Yumuchuan (now Wuzhumuqin Banner, Inner Mongolia) on the way back from the Northern Expedition. Ouchi dedicated more than 30 maids to Judy. After they finished eating, they were taken to the palace and shook the pavilion in tears. There is a small wooden bed in the hall where ladies-in-waiting can stand, and there is a noose on the beam. Put their heads in the trap, then remove the cot and hang them.
"Yongle the Great" never changed his attitude of killing people all his life, and he would still do harm when he died.
