[0916 Everything Goes According to History]
Wei Bao successively gave the emperor's internal funds, that is, he directly gave Zhu Youxiao millions of taels of silver.
But the Ming Emperor spent too much.
This bit of silver has long been wiped out.
It's not Zhu Youxiao's personal luxury, he just plays carpenter work, and if he has good wood, he can't spend a few silver.
There are too many holes in the main Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters everywhere, as an emperor, many times I can't help but mean something, a province throws tens of thousands of taels, and it will soon be gone.
To put it mildly, the emperor can't afford to be a man in front of the emperor's relatives and relatives.
Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao is not very infatuated with women except for Kebaba, and Zhu Youxiao is not very close to Zhang Yan, the queen who is ranked as the queen of ancient history.
Otherwise, the relatives can't afford to go, and the emperor and his relatives will definitely throw silver out, and any favored concubine will throw hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on a person a year.
Emperor Wanli didn't have many favored concubines, just one Zheng Guifei could throw out tens of millions of taels, and the treasury could be empty.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was very worried about the deterioration of Liaodong and the collapse of the Ming court's economy.
Zhu Youxiao didn't completely ignore the government and politics, but he just had too many things to worry about and his ability was limited, so he didn't bother to care.
But Zhu Youxiao is willing to talk to Wei Bao, Wei Bao is not difficult for him, only helps him, unlike the ministers of the Donglin Party, who only fart and say cool things.
So Zhu Youxiao likes to communicate with Wei Bao.
Wei Bao is also very measured in communicating with the land exchange, never saying anything bad, let alone telling Wei Zhongxian.
Because Wei Bao knew that no matter what channel he communicated with the emperor, he couldn't get around Wei Gonggong.
"The emperor was a little anxious, for fear that the war in Liaodong would be unfavorable, and the lord would ask the court for money and grain, but he didn't expect the lord to really ask for money and grain." Wu Xuexia covered her mouth and smiled.
"Every time I send a letter to His Majesty, I ask for money and food, and I know that he won't give it, but I have to ask for it. Otherwise, instead of asking them for it, they would want to ask me for money and food. Wei Bao said with a smile: "The emperor feels that it is actually good that there is a war in Liaodong, at least the imperial court and Wei Zhongxian will not always worry about letting me confess." And it's always going to come out with a little bit of something, at least it's meaningful. ”
As the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and became the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.
On this dragon chair, Zhu Youxiao only sat for seven years. During these seven years, Zhu Youxiao did not make any achievements in politics, but he was successful in his carpentry.
Zhu Youxiao, who loves to do carpentry, has a good craft and can make all kinds of exquisite woodwork.
In carpentry, Zhu Youxiao has long reached the point of perfection.
At that time, Zhu Youxiao would also instruct the little eunuch to sell his works in the market, and surprisingly, all his woodware was bought with a lot of money, which shows the excellence of his carpentry.
In addition to carpentry, Zhu Youxiao is very exquisite in wood carving and jade carving techniques, and in his hands, all kinds of models, furniture and other exquisite wood can be made lifelike.
The main thing the whole world knows is that Zhu Youxiao likes carpenter work, and the one who buys woodware is a eunuch, and fools know that it is His Majesty's personal work.
In order to curry favor with the emperor, the wealthy merchants were naturally willing to pay a lot of money to buy.
Besides, even if he was not favored by the wealthy merchants, in order to please the emperor and make the emperor happy, Wei Zhongxian would instruct someone to secretly buy the wooden objects that Zhu Youxiao asked the eunuchs to sell in the bazaar.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao's manual work may really have nothing to say, and it can be called a work of art.
Zhu Youxiao once made a miniature palace, only more than four feet high, very delicate and exquisite, which can be called a masterpiece.
Zhu Youxiao spent too much time on carpentry, resulting in Zhu Youxiao not having the energy to be a good emperor again.
During his reign, the politics of the Ming Dynasty were in crisis.
At that time, Zhu Youxiao had no intention of ruling the government, and only wanted to leave the state affairs in his hands to others, so he led to Wang An, Wei Zhongxian and other ministers to take the throne.
These eunuchs did evil in the court, causing chaos in the government and politics, and the country also came to a standstill and caused public resentment.
Zhu Youxiao's situation is actually related to his childhood experience.
Although Zhu Youxiao is a prince, he did not receive a good education when he was a child, the emperor's grandfather Shenzong only cared about his own happiness, and his father Emperor Guangzong died early, which caused Zhu Youxiao to not know how to be a good emperor at all.
Because Zhu Youxiao's education level is not high, he often makes jokes.
Once, in the recital to report the rebellion, there was the phrase "chasing the north", which was read by the eunuch at that time as "chasing the north", and also explained to Zhu Youxiao that this was the meaning of the soldiers escaping.
As a result, Zhu Youxiao punished these soldiers who won the battle, which made the soldiers' morale scattered.
In addition, there was also a time when foreign countries came to pay tribute, bringing a lot of gifts and concerts to Zhu Youxiao.
However, Zhu Youxiao couldn't understand it, thinking that these foreign countries were here to negotiate, so he was very angry, had a seizure on the spot, brushed his sleeves and left the table, making the officials and envoys present confused.
All kinds of reasons make Zhu Youxiao unable to be a good emperor, but if he was not born in the royal family and became a carpenter among the people, he may still be famous in history.
But Wei Bao didn't think that Zhu Youxiao was at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty emperors.
At least Zhu Youxiao is quite smart, smart people are inattentive at most, but if they have something to do, they can often do it well.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally named Zhu Chongba, and later named Zhu Xingzong, and his mother was Chen.
Zhu Yuanzhang, a clan surnamed Zhu, comes from Jurong of Jinling, lives in Zhujia Lane, belongs to Tongde Township, and Zhu Yuanzhang has made a living from agriculture for several generations.
Zhu Yunwen was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and history also called him Emperor Jianwen.
The whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen have always been a mystery.
After Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he changed the tense atmosphere of the Hongwu period, and a fresh breeze blew in the land of China at that time.
However, Emperor Ming Hui and his people were weak in character, and they were finally forced by others in the struggle to cut down the domain, so they did not know where to go. In this regard, it has also become a topic of speculation and debate among later historians.
Zhu Yunwen is the second grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jianwen cut the domain, which led his uncle King Yan to launch the "Battle of Jingyan".
Emperor Jianwen's imperial journey came to an end in four years, and the country was broken and people did not know where to go.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is a controversial emperor in history, he has immortal achievements, created a prosperous era in the early Ming Dynasty, but he is so happy, suspicious and killing, his hands are stained with blood.
Whether the merit is greater than the fault, or the excess, Wei Bao can't say clearly.
Zhu Di was named King of Yan by his father Zhu Yuanzhang at the age of eleven, and at the age of twenty-one, he became the king of Beijing, when the Yuan Dynasty's forces had been driven to the prairie, but still had considerable military strength and constantly harassed the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the capital is not peaceful, and it exists as a military town.
Zhu Yuanzhang divided Zhu Di into Beijing, hoping that his son could replace the meritorious generals to control the military power, so as to make the power of the Ming Dynasty more stable.
But who knew that it was this fourth prince who used the military power in his hands to finally seize the emperor's position, which Zhu Yuanzhang could not have predicted at the beginning.
During his stay in Beijing, under the guidance of many loyal ministers and fierce generals, Zhu Di quickly grew into a qualified military commander, and achieved major victories in the battle against the Yuan Dynasty, his military strength was strengthened, and he became the strongest prince of a town in the north in the last years of Hongwu.
Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son of Chengzu Zhu Di, as early as the Hongwu period, Zhu Gaochi was established as the son of King Yan, and because of its elegance and benevolence, he was deeply loved by the emperor.
The fly in the ointment is that Zhu Gaochi is obese and has difficulty moving, and he always needs the support of two chamberlains to move, and he always stumbles, so for Cheng Zu, who has been fond of martial arts all his life, he doesn't like this son.
After the outbreak of the Battle of Jingyan, Zhu Gaochi and his mother Xu successfully blocked Li Jinglong's 500,000 army and kept the capital.
This battle was of extremely great significance to the entire Jingjing, and it was also the most dazzling stroke of Zhu Gaochi in the Jingjing.
After that, because he was obese and inconvenient to fight with the army, Chengzu left him in the rear, and the second son of the emperor, Zhu Gaoxu, came to the forefront.
Zhu Gaoxu is quite similar to Chengzu, and he is brave in battle, and his prestige among the generals is very high.
Chengzu Zhu Di once made a wish and said, "Your eldest brother is sick, and the throne will be yours in the future." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's enthusiasm rose even higher, and he made a very great contribution to the entire Jingjing.
After the success of Jingnan, Zhu Di ascended to the throne, but there was hesitation on the issue of establishing the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi was deeply supported by the ministers because of his benevolence and elegance, and he was the son of Yan who was personally chosen by Emperor Taizu for Zhu Di, and was the legitimate heir to the throne.
In feudal society, this was very important.
And Zhu Gaoxu's personality is quite similar to Chengzu, brave and handsome, and he has made great contributions in the Jingjing, and Chengzu has personally made a wish to pass the throne to him.
As far as Chengzu Zhu Di himself is concerned, he hopes to set up Zhu Gaochu to inherit the throne, and feels that Zhu Gaochi is too benevolent and weak, and will be coerced in the future.
But in the end, Chengzu still set up Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince, because Wenchen's power was too great.
In peacetime, mastering Wenchen is equivalent to mastering the country, and the clumsy tongue of a military general cannot match the pen and mouth of Wenchen.
And Zhu Gaochi did not have any major mistakes when he was the prince, so he was nameless.
A very important point is that Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji was deeply loved by Zhu Di, and the famous Wenchen Xie Jin once persuaded Chengzu with a "good holy grandson", and Chengzu finally made up his mind.
This is similar to the accession of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, is the eldest son of Emperor Zhu Gaochi of Hongxi, also known as Emperor Xuande, and its cultural representative is Xuande furnace.
On the night of Zhu Zhanji's birth, his imperial ancestor Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan at the time, once had a dream, he dreamed that Emperor Taizu gave him a big gui, in ancient times, Dagui symbolized power, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him Dagui, just to explain that he wanted to give him the country.
After Zhu Di woke up, he was recalling the scene in the dream, and suddenly someone reported that his grandson Zhu Zhanji was born.
Zhu Di immediately realized that the scene in the dream was reflected in his grandson.
So he immediately ran to see his grandson, only to see that Xiao Zhanji looked very much like himself, and his face was heroic, Zhu Di was very happy after seeing it, and this incident also had a great effect on Zhu Di's determination to launch a martyrdom.
After the victory of Zhu Di's Jingjing Battle, he personally selected the famous Wenchen at that time to serve as Zhu Zhanji's teacher, and instructed many times that the emperor and grandson are a talent that can be created, and you must do your best.
At the same time, Zhu Di did not forget to personally teach that in the expedition to Mobei after the middle of Yongle, Zhu Di always kept Zhu Zhanji by his side, so that he could learn how to lead the troops to fight and exercise his courage, which was of great help to Zhu Zhanji's personal expedition later.
Every time he returned from an expedition and passed by the farmer's house, Zhu Di would take Zhu Zhanji to the farmer's house to have a look, so that the emperor and grandson could understand the hardships of the farmer's family, so that he could be a good emperor who loved the people in the future.
Zhu Di's careful teaching of Zhu Zhanji was of great significance to Zhu Zhan becoming a famous king of success in the future.
To a large extent, Zhu Gaochi was made the crown prince because of his son's light, so the father and son became a thorn in the side of Zhu Gaochu and others, and the young Zhu Zhanji was also involved in this battle, but with his grandfather's love for him, with his courage and wisdom, he was always able to help his father save the day, and finally made Zhu Gaochi ascend the throne of the emperor.
Who knew that his father's throne was not yet hot, and he died of a violent illness ten months later.
At that time, Zhu Zhanji was in Nanjing, and his imperial uncle Zhu Gaoxu was ready to intercept and kill the crown prince halfway, and then set himself up as emperor.
However, Zhu Zhanji had long anticipated the danger of the future, so when he learned that his father was seriously ill, he immediately rushed back to Beijing day and night.
After returning to Beijing, Zhu Zhanji properly handled the affairs of his father's death on the one hand, and on the other hand, he tightened the vigilance of Beijing to prevent people from waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos, and then calmly ascended the throne, changed the next year to the first year of Xuande, and began his imperial career.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is the eldest son of Ming Xuanzong. He ascended the throne at the age of 9 and was given an orthodox name.
At the beginning of his accession, the power of major affairs was vested in the Empress Dowager Zhang, who presided over government affairs with Sanyang, continued to implement the policies of the Renxuan Dynasty, and achieved social and economic development.
After Zhang's death, Sanyang went to the throne, favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, and Zhensui planted the friends of the party, and the end of the eunuch dictatorship in the Ming Dynasty.
In the fourteenth year, Wara invaded, listened to Wang Zhen's words and personally conquered, and arrived at Tumubao and was defeated and captured. Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, was proclaimed emperor and changed to Jingtai.
In 1451, Yingzong was released back to Beijing and placed under house arrest in Nangong.
In the eighth year, Shi Heng and others launched a change to seize the door, Yingzong was reinstated, and Yuan Tianshun was changed.
Ming Dynasty Zong Zhu Qiyu is the second son of Emperor Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong, the younger brother of Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, Ming Yingzong was captured by the Mongolian Tile Thorn Army and succeeded to the throne, and was reused by Qian and others to organize the defense of Beijing City and repelled the invasion of Wara. After ascending the throne, the official system was rectified, so that the rule of officials was new.
After Yingzong was released, he was treated in the cold, which was a big political failure for him. He reigned for 8 years, and died of anger due to the deposition of house arrest due to the restoration of Yingzong during his illness, at the age of 30.
Zhu Qiyu was not buried in the Ming Tombs.
The Ming Tombs are the tombs of the Ming emperors, located in Tianshou Mountain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Changping District, a northwestern suburb of Beijing.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 16 emperors have been passed from Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Youzhen, Sizong of the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, in addition to the founding emperor and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang buried in Nanjing Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the second emperor Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen who disappeared in the Jing Dynasty, 13 of the remaining 14 emperors, even the Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen, who hanged the coal mountain, were buried in Beijing's Ming Ming Tombs, Changling (Chengzu), Xianling (Renzong), Jingling (Xuanzong), Yuling (Yingzong), Maoling (Xianzong), Tailing (Xiaozong), Kangling (Wuzong), Yongling (Shizong), Zhaoling (Muzong), Dingling (Shenzong), Qingling (Guangzong), Deling (Xizong), Siling (Sizong).
Only the seventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu, was not buried in the Ming Tombs.
Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu is the third son of Ming Xianzong, and his biological mother is the Empress Dowager Xiaomu Ji.
During his reign, after his accession to the throne, he worked hard to reverse the corruption of the court during the reign of Xianzong, expelled traitors, diligent in political affairs, made great efforts to govern the country, expelled traitors in the palace, and appointed Wang Shu, Liu Daxia and other upright virtuous ministers, so that the Ming Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous again.
Known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in history, it is a pity that he died young due to illness at the age of 36.
Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao is the eldest son of Ming Xiaozong and a very controversial emperor in history.
Zhu Houzhao, the eldest son of Xiaozong, and his biological mother Empress Zhang. At the age of two, he was made crown prince.
Because Xiaozong only doted on Empress Zhang in his life, and Empress Zhang only gave birth to two sons for Xiaozong, and the second son died young.
Therefore, Wuzong has been regarded as the pearl of his palm since he was a child, and the young Wuzong is very smart, and what the teacher teaches him can always learn quickly, it stands to reason that he should become a good emperor, but it is because of the eunuchs around him that this young child is ruined.
Among the attendant eunuchs in the East Palace, there are eight eunuchs known as the Eight Tigers, they are headed by Liu Jin, in order to tie up the new emperor in the future, every day into some peculiar toys, and often organize all kinds of performances, all kinds of sports activities, the East Palace at that time was jokingly called the Hundred Opera Field, just imagine how the young Wu Zong can resist the temptation of these things, so he indulged in it, and did not extricate himself throughout his life, and of course his studies and political affairs were wasted.
Emperor Jiajing was not the son of Wuzong, nor was he the grandson of Xiaozong. Because Wuzong was absurd and did not leave an heir, Xiaozong was a single lineage, and only Wuzong had one child, so the filial piety line was cut off when Wuzong died, and the heir to the throne had to be selected from the nearest royal family. Xiaozong's younger brother, Emperor Chenghua's second son, Xingwang Zhu Youyuan, was identified as the nearest branch of the royal family, when King Xing had died, so his only son Zhu Houcong came to inherit the throne, he was later Emperor Jiajing.
Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi is the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the grandson of Ming Xianzong, the nephew of Ming Xiaozong, the cousin of Ming Wuzong, and the son of Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian. He reigned from 1521 to 1566 and reigned for 45 years, second only to his grandson Mingshenzong among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
In the early days, the government was rectified, the enslavement was reduced, and the foreign war against the Japanese invaders was later known as the "Zhongxing Period".
However, soon there was a dispute with Yang Tinghe and other courtiers on the issue of discussing the father's dedication to the king's title, which was known as the "Great Rites Discussion" controversy.
In the later period, he believed in Taoism and was obsessed with alchemy, which led to the "Renyin Palace Change" later, and he no longer managed the government.
Jiajing died at the age of 60 at the age of 45.
At the beginning of Emperor Jiajing's accession to the throne, the "Controversy over Rituals" broke out, which was also the most famous political event in the Ming Dynasty.
As early as when Emperor Jiajing entered Beijing from the domain, the unenthroned Emperor Jiajing had a dispute with the courtiers over the etiquette of greeting, which ended in a compromise with the courtiers.
From the subjective point of view of Emperor Jiajing, he did not trust the old ministers of the imperial court very much, and he did not want to succeed to Emperor Xiaozong as an adopted son, so he asked to posthumously crown his biological father as emperor, which was unacceptable to the ministers who advertised respect for the ancestor Confucius and the religion of the court.
Just as Sejong was about to give in, a man named Zhang Xuan stood up and did Emperor Jiajing a favor.
He wrote an article to find a lot of theoretical basis for Emperor Jiajing to posthumously seal his parents, and quoted scriptures to refute the views of the ministers, Emperor Jiajing was deeply encouraged after seeing it, and Zhang Xuan was also able to become the leader of the Rite faction, and the opposing ministers at that time were called the Protector faction.
Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan was the third son of Ming Shizong, and succeeded to the throne after Ming Shizong died of illness.
The boy was not favored by his father because of his mother.
After ascending the throne, internal and external troubles made him concerned about the situation of the court, which had a great impact on his handling of government affairs after he ascended to the throne.
Relying on the great help of ministers such as Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, and Zhang Juzheng, we implemented a policy of reforming and implementing new policies.
But he was obsessed with women and took flattering drugs to help his fun, which led to ignoring the government.
Zhu Zaiyuan reigned for 6 years and died of illness at the age of 36.
Zhu Zaihou can be said to be the luckier emperor of the Ming Dynasty, during his reign, there were almost no major changes, and he was able to sit on the throne for six years.
This is inseparable from his temperament, because he was cautious and cautious during his time as a prince, he was rarely arrogant, and he developed a chaste and benevolent temperament since he was a child.
At the same time, the Longqing Dynasty was full of talents, including Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Yang Bo, and Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Li Chengliang.
The reason why these people are famous is also due to the fact that Emperor Longqing gave them space for development, on the other hand, the Chenghua Dynasty was also full of talents, but due to the emperor's restrictions, they did not write a glorious stroke in history after all.
One of Zhu Zaihou's great advantages is that he is not suspicious of employing people and letting his courtiers give full play to their talents, which makes the first ten years of the Longqing Dynasty and the Wanli Dynasty a period of reflection of the Ming Dynasty.
During this period, the society was relatively stable, and the economy was significantly improved compared with the Jiajing Dynasty, and it can be said that Zhu Zaihou played an important transitional role in the process of making the Ming Dynasty develop into the last prosperous period.
Some people attribute all the credit for the prosperity of the first ten years of Wanli to Zhang Juzheng, without Zhu Zaihou letting go of Zhang Juzheng to exercise in government affairs, and without Emperor Muzong's reform of the Jiajing Dynasty's maladministration, the prosperity of the Wanli Dynasty would not be able to be talked about, so Zhu Zaihou was attributed to one of the better emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, people are not perfect, Zhu Zaihou also has his own shortcomings, he is lazy, he has only summoned the ministers twice, the court meeting, and the banquet often does not express his opinion, from this point of view he is very lazy.
However, the Duke of Qi Huan in the Spring and Autumn Period was not also lazy with political affairs, and entrusted the government to Guan Zhong, so he still did not lose the title of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong, the third son of Mingmuzong.
In the second year of Longqing, he was established as the crown prince, and in the sixth year of Longqing, Mu Zong died, and the 10-year-old Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, and the following year he changed to Wanli.
In the early days of his accession to the throne, the Wanli Emperor faced internal and external troubles, and Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, presided over the new policy of the Wanli Dynasty.
In the early days of his pro-government, he was diligent in government affairs, launched the "Wanli Three Great Marches" militarily, quelled the Bibai Rebellion and Yang Yinglong's Rebellion, and helped Korea defeat the invading Japanese army.
In the later period, he ignored the government and often boycotted the court.
The Jurchens rose rapidly in the northeast and defeated the Ming army at the Battle of Salhu.
After that, the Ming Dynasty declined. Wanli reigned for 48 years, making him the longest-reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial concubine of Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong, who entered the palace at the beginning of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Wanli. After giving birth to the third son of the emperor, Zhu Changxun, he was promoted to the imperial concubine.
Because the prince has not been established for a long time, the outer court suspects that the Zheng family has a plan to establish his own son.
In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, the crown prince was canonized.
In the forty-first year of Wanli, the traitor Kong Xuewei framed the prince and implicated Zheng Guifei, and the eunuch of Zheng Guifei participated in the attack.
Mingshen Sect collapsed, and he ordered Zheng Guifei to be the queen, but the minister opposed it.
Emperor Shenzong's biological mother, Li, was originally a palace maid in the palace, but was later favored by Zhu Zaihou, who was still King Yu at the time.
Zhu Yijun has been brilliant since he was a child, and he will never forget to read the scriptures, once when he was still young, he actually advised his father not to ride a horse, for fear that if he hurt the holy body, it would make the people worried, and Emperor Muzong was deeply moved after hearing it, and he loved this child even more since then.
Emperor Muzong reigned for six years and died at the age of thirty-six, so the crown prince Zhu Yijun ascended the throne and became the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
When Emperor Muzong died, he left a very good cabinet team for Zhu Yijun, the university scholar Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Gao Yi are all upright people, good at strategy, the inner palace at this time is also very stable, Mu Zongzheng Palace Empress Chen and Shenzong's biological mother Empress Li got along very well, and the great eunuch Feng Bao at that time was also one of the rare good eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, he and Zhang Juzheng cooperated tacitly, so that the ten years of Wanli early government, political clarity, rapid economic development.
Of course, this is due to Zhang Juzheng's reforms, but it is very inseparable from the support of Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao.
At the same time, Zhang Juzheng attached great importance to the education of the little emperor, and the little emperor also established a deep teacher-student relationship with him.
When attending classes in winter, the little emperor always instructed the little eunuch to put a thick blanket at Zhang Juzheng's feet so as not to freeze his feet.
After Zhang Juzheng fell ill, Zhu Yijun personally boiled medicine for him, Zhang Juzheng in order to thank the emperor for his kindness, but also stepped up his efforts, everything must be done personally, and the Ming Dynasty was governed in an orderly manner.
Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo, the year name Taichang, the 14th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, reigned for one month.
Zhu Changluo is the most legendary emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the three major mysteries of the Ming Palace are related to him, the Wanli Emperor does not like this prince, his position was once precarious, after 39 years of hardship, he finally got the coveted emperor throne, but in the early morning of the thirtieth day of his accession, the emperor who was just about to spread his wings and fly away inexplicably.
Zhu Changluo's background is similar to that of his father Emperor Wanli, and he was also born by his father to the palace maid by chance, but although they are all lucky, Zhu Zaihou is more responsible than Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun didn't like this prince in his heart, and thought that the birth of this prince was an ugly thing for him.
This idea lasted for thirty-nine years, until the death of the Wanli Emperor.
The days after the birth of the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, can be imagined.
Emperor Wanli favored Zheng Guifei, and even regarded Zheng Guifei's son Fuwang Zhu Changxun as a pearl in his palm, plus Zheng Guifei blowing wind by Emperor Wanli's pillow all day long, Emperor Wanli had long had the idea of abolishing the long and young.
Wanli first named the Zheng family as a concubine, but the eldest son's mother was still a concubine, which was not in line with the ancient system; Secondly, Zhu Changluo was delayed from going to school after he grew up, and then he came up with the idea of merging the three kings, and made all the princes kings to reduce the status of the eldest son.
After that, the dispute over the country's capital broke out, and the ministers used their lives and blood to fight for the position of the crown prince for the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo.
Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao can be said to inherit his father's business and get it naturally, but it took a lot of twists and turns to really sit on the throne of the emperor of the Qing Palace.
Guangzong reigned for only a month, but left a Li Xuanzhi, this woman is exactly the same as Zheng Guifei, all day long figuring out how to get the queen's position, at this time Zheng Guifei also coveted the position of the queen mother for a long time, just like that, two like-minded women got together, cooperated with each other, and grinded hard in front of the emperor, and had to ask for the title, even if Guangzong was critically ill for a few days, they did not stop.
Guangzong's sudden death caused Zheng and Li to lose their protective umbrella, and the ministers did not have a good impression of them, and the two felt that their position was very unstable, so Li Xuanzhi came up with a plan to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Due to the early death of Xizong's biological mother, Li Xuanzhi became Xizong's actual caretaker, and at this moment, he just used this relationship to detain Xizong.
The first emperor has died, and Xizong has been declared emperor, but the little emperor has not come out of the harem for a long time, and the ministers are very anxious, and they have written to ask Li Xuan to return Xizong.
But Li Xuanzhi didn't listen at all, and still detained the new emperor, but fortunately, the eunuch Wang An, starting from the overall situation, deceived the prince out and handed it over to the ministers.
Li Xuanzhi couldn't make a plan, and he had another plan, he stayed in the Ganqing Palace and did not leave, so as to blackmail the ministers to give him the title of queen mother.
According to the ancient system, after the emperor ascended the throne, he should immediately move into the Ganqing Palace to live, but no one had to do anything about Li Xuanzhi, and the ministers were very anxious.
Yang Lian issued an ultimatum to Li Xuanzhi on behalf of the ministers, asking him to leave the palace on the same day, and the new emperor Zhu Youxiao also issued an order to let Li move the palace, plus the great eunuch Wang An threatened Li Xuanzhi in every way, Li Xuanzhi finally moved out of the Qianqing Palace with the palace maid.
History calls this incident the "Palace Removal Case", one of the three major cases of the Ming Palace.
At the beginning of Xizong's accession to the throne, the Donglin Party was more powerful and fair.
Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, many upright people held important positions in the court, and Fang Congzhe and other traitorous ministers have been gradually squeezed out, and the official system is a little clear.
