Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was a lone emperor. is not only a strange emperor, but also an absurd emperor. First of all, he staged a scene in which the emperor molested the people's daughters. He pretended to be a rich boy playing in the people, and met a girl who opened a tavern. In order to get this girl, he not only pretended to be a poor boy to approach her, but also asked his guards to pretend to be wicked people to scare the people in the tavern, and he came to another "hero to save beauty". not only won everyone's applause, but also won the heart of a girl. The folk processed this matter artistically, and this is the story of "The Dragon and the Phoenix". However, Emperor Zhengde was not so kind, not only did he not make Sister Li Feng the queen, but dumped her after playing. The second absurd thing is to pretend to be a military general. Zhu Houzhao is a prince who can't write or fight. Although he had taken a few military classes, he had almost no effort at all. But Zhu Houzhao whimsically wanted to be a general, a general who was more majestic than any general. Zhu Houzhao began his absurd behavior, first by choosing a name, and he came up with a name that was both vulgar and boring. Then I went to declare, but the Ministry of War did not agree, the Ministry of Household did not agree, and the Ministry of Officials did not agree. No one can become a general all at once, let alone just make a person a general. Zhu Houzhao had an idea, and used the forbidden army he mastered to make up a background for himself and became a captain from the eighth grade. Then, in the name of Zhu Houzhao, he sent this school captain Zhu Shou to do things. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, whether he does well or not, Zhu Shou has been promoted all the way, and in less than a year, he has already been a guerrilla general from the fourth grade. Only then did everyone know that this Zhu Shou turned out to be Zhu Houzhao himself, and now things were in trouble. Because according to the rules of the imperial court, if there are no military officials, when they reach a certain level, their parents or wives and children must be sealed, which is called "sealing the wife and shadow", which is a kind of reward for officials by the imperial court. Zhu Shou is Zhu Houzhao himself, how can he seal his parents, wife and children? Could it be that why Emperor Feng is a member of the fifth grade? Feng Empress Dowager is a six-grade Anren? Named the current queen as the wife of the general from the fourth grade? Even if someone dares to write it, no one dares to announce it. This is simply looking for death, forcing all the ministers to a dead end. If the emperor is a guerrilla general, who would dare to stop the general? Adjutant general? General soldiers? If the emperor's father, the emperor, is just a foreigner, who would dare to be a waiter? Chancery? Cabinet Ministers? If the Queen Mother is a native of Liupin'an, who would dare to block Mrs. Xuan? Who would dare to claim to be a noble lady? But Zhu Houzhao didn't care at all, continued to mess around, and led his subordinates to fight around in the name of Zhu Shou to suppress bandits. There were hundreds of bandits in one place, and when Zhu Houzhao arrived with a good reputation, the local army sent 5,000 troops to eliminate them. found some prisoners or ordinary people to pretend to be Zhu Houzhao, so that Zhu Houzhao had a good time. Later, the cheeky and shameless Zhu Houzhao used Zhu Shou's name to report his war exploits, and at a certain time, Zhu Shou led his soldiers to eliminate thousands of bandits who had occupied the mountains for many years. Then the cabinet did not dare to decide, and transferred the military exploits to Zhu Houzhao, who rewarded Zhu Shou in the name of the emperor and named Zhu Shou as a deputy general. There are too many such things, and once Zhu Houzhao led thousands of soldiers to chase and kill the enemy army of less than 100 people, not only did he not completely annihilate them, but also injured many people. Zhu Houzhao still claimed that Zhu Shouli fought tens of thousands of enemy troops and cut off the heads of enemy chieftains with his own hands. Zhu Houzhao rewarded Zhu Shou in the name of the emperor and named Zhu Shou as a mighty general and a prince of Zhenguo. It's not that everyone doesn't know, it's just that everyone is playing with Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao rarely spent time in the palace in his life, either playing outside or living in the leopard park on the outskirts of the capital. It is said that there are many wild beasts in the leopard park, as well as beautiful women of various ethnic groups, who are laughing and playing all day long. The luxury inside is indescribable, and every day's expenses are gold and silver that ordinary people and families cannot use up in their lifetime. Such consumption not only consumed the emperor's own money, but also burdened the household with a lot of deficits every year.

It wasn't until Zhu Houzhao's new eunuch Liu Jin rebelled that Zhu Houzhao realized that something had happened to him. Not only are the people around him not credible, but there are also big problems in the DPRK and China. The eunuchs of the inner palace are almost beaten to the death for the position of the eunuch who holds the seal of the eunuch of the celebrant of the ceremony, and people die almost every day. The foreign court is also not at peace, and the power of the cabinet is too great, so everyone is quite the first assistant. Lu Tiaoyang couldn't dominate the position, and the second assistant Yang Tinghe wanted to seize power, and the two sides were almost tense. Not only the central government, but also the local governments are fighting with each other, and everyone wants to grab territory. For the first time, Zhu Houzhao felt that he was incompetent as an emperor, and he was sorry for his father, Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youjiao. Zhu Youzhu handed over a great country to Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao corrupted the country like this. In addition, he has no heirs and no successors, so Daming can be regarded as having broken the incense.

When Zhu Houzhao was dying, he finally did a serious thing. He locked himself up and forced himself to write the "Edict of Guilt" stroke by stroke. In this "Edict of Guilt", he took all the responsibilities alone, and said what he was wrong and what was not. He even said that he was sorry for his ancestors and father. This "Edict of Self-Guilt" is not only a book of self-examination, but also a warning book to remind future generations.

Zhu Houzhao finally died, just after his thirtieth birthday, and became an emperor who left behind infamy and absurdities. However, people who know Zhu Houzhao well know that this Wuzong Zhu Houzhao is not a good-for-nothing emperor. At least he was very filial to his mother and never beat or scolded his wife. Although he was ridiculous, he also respected the ministers of the court. He almost never physically punished ministers, nor did he humiliate any official to his face. Lu Tiaoyang has been Zhu Houzhao's teacher for several years, and Zhu Houzhao has always called Mr. Lu Tiaoyang. Every time Lu Tiaoyang has a birthday, Zhu Houzhao is always the first to give a birthday gift and reminds everyone that Lu Tiaoyang's birthday has arrived. Yang Tinghe has stomach problems, and he will get sick if he is cold or does not eat on time. Zhu Houzhao sent a cook who knew medicinal food to him, and sent two palace maids to take care of Yang Tinghe. When Liu Jin was in power, he once wanted to kill all the officials and his family. When Zhu Houzhao learned that the official had a son who was participating in the imperial examination, he ordered the official to write a document to disown his son before raiding his home. In this way, this son does not need to be implicated, and he may be born as an official. Although this son was still killed by Liu Jin's people later, the father and son were very grateful to Zhu Houzhao.

Because Wuzong Zhu Houzhao has no son, he cannot inherit the throne. Wuzong Zhu Houzhao has no brothers, that is to say, Xiaozong Zhu Youzhao has no heirs. had to push it up further, Xianzong Zhu Jianshen had three sons, one was Xiaozong Zhu Youzhang, one was the late vassal king, and the other was Xingxian Wang. After Zhu Di robbed his nephew Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen of the throne, it caused a long period of political turmoil. Therefore, the generations can no longer be messed up, the throne must be passed on from father to son, and if there is no son or the moth is too small, it will be passed on from brother to brother. Therefore, the person who inherits the throne of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao must be Zhu Houzhao's cousin or cousin. The late prince had a son, but he was almost the same age as Zhu Houzhao, and he was disabled and could not be the emperor. Therefore, only Zhu Houxi, the eldest son of King Xingxian, was qualified to be emperor.

However, this emperor is not simple, it is said that he was unwilling to leave his father at that time, and he must return to the capital with his father and mother to become emperor. However, the imperial court has already made a resolution to pass Zhu Houxi to Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu as an adopted son, recognize the queen mother as an adoptive mother, and inherit his brother Zhu Houzhao as the emperor. That is to say, Zhu Houxi must recognize Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu as his father and emperor, the queen mother as his mother, and Zhu Houzhao as his eldest brother in order to become the emperor. Zhu Houxi's meaning is to inherit the throne with the grandson of Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, so that the imperial court will posthumously recognize King Xingxian as the emperor and Zhu Houxi's biological mother as the queen mother. This is not allowed, not to mention that the mother of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, who is in the capital, does not agree, that is, the queen mother agrees, and the ministers do not agree. How can a person who has never been an emperor be an emperor? King Xingxian is at most a prince who was born as a prince, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a prince, let alone an emperor, how can he be crowned as the emperor? Yang Tinghe, who went to Lu'an to meet the new emperor, was sandwiched with Zhu Houxi, and later Yang Tinghe did the work of Zhu Houxi's father, Wang Xingxian, which took Zhu Houyu back to the capital and ascended the throne as the emperor's year name Jiajing.

When Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, he was the same as his cousin Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, who was also fourteen years old. Soon after, the queen mother died, and the king of Xingxian also died, and Zhu Houxi was ready to take his mother over to live together. The little emperor thinks of his mother, and it is actually very simple to take his mother to live with him. However, it caused a big wave, because Emperor Jiajing asked the imperial court to greet his mother with the etiquette of the empress dowager on the grounds that he was the emperor. But the ministers did not agree. First of all, Emperor Jiajing was passed on to Xiaozong Zhu Youzhang, so his mother was only the late Empress Dowager. The queen can come to the capital, but at most she can only be regarded as the queen mother, not the queen mother. Although the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother sound similar, their meanings are very different. The queen mother is the mother of a country, and hundreds of officials have to kneel to greet her. The queen mother is just the mother of a vassal king, and the hundred officials don't need to kneel, let alone greet them collectively, as long as they send a few officials of the Ministry of Rites with low positions to greet them. Of course, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi did not allow hundreds of officials to neglect his mother so much, and he must greet his mother according to the etiquette of the empress dowager. There was an inspiring confrontation between the two sides, almost sending out troops, and several officials of the Ministry of Rites sacrificed their lives for this death. In the end, Yang Tinghe came forward to say yes, everyone took a step back, and hundreds of officials went to the dock to greet them, not kneeling but saluting. As for what etiquette to use in the palace to pick up and drop off, it is Emperor Jiajing's own business. Anyway, the minister only recognized her as the queen mother, not the queen mother.
