Emperor Jiajing was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, he had a special love for cats. According to historical records, Emperor Jiajing especially liked two cats, one named "Xue Mei" and the other named "Lion Cat". Xue Mei is a light blue cat with white eyebrows above its eyes, hence its name. Very popular with Emperor Jiajing, it was named "one-stop".

It is said that "Xuemei" is very considerate and will accompany Emperor Jiajing every night. When Emperor Jiajing wakes up, Xue Mei will wait for him to wake up and never scream again. The other cat is called "Lion Cat". Its body looks like a little lion, very cute. After the cat died, Emperor Jiajing was very sad and ordered officials to build a gold coffin for it and bury it in Wanshou Mountain, and wrote a memorial specially for it.

The life of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houzong.

Zhu Houzong was very clever when he was young. His father taught him to read poems several times before he could recite them accurately. When I am older, I will study ancient books under the guidance of my father, and I will be familiar with the Book of Filial Piety, the University and the way of governing the country by self-cultivation. Not only that, his father also asked him to attend the sacrifices and ceremonies in the palace, so he became familiar with all kinds of etiquette and norms at an early age.

In the 16th year of Zheng De's reign (152 1 April 20th), Ming Wuzong died on March 14th. As the Ming Wuzong had no children, on his deathbed, Yang Tinghe in Historical Records anticipated the successor problem in the future. He quoted the principle of "brotherly harmony" in Ming Taizu's ancestral teachings. On the second day of five deaths, Yang Tinghe asked Li Si to ask the Empress Dowager for instructions, and formally declared Zhu Houzong as the heir of the emperor.
