What was the Ming Dynasty like? No peace, no indemnity, no land cutting, no tribute. The Son of Heaven guards the gates of the kingdom, and the King dies. It is a dynasty that I admire the most, every emperor has the pride of the bloodline in his bones, let's take a look at the last five emperors of this dynasty.
Fifth, Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan
Emperor Mingmuzong (明穆宗朱載垕ࣂu) reigned from 1566 to 1572 AD. Before he ascended the throne, his internal and external troubles made him concerned about the situation in the DPRK and had a greater impact on his handling of government affairs after he ascended the throne. Relying on the best efforts of Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Zhang Juzheng, and other ministers, he implemented a new policy of reforming maladies and implementing new policies, and achieved great governance at home and abroad, which is known as the Longqing New Deal. However, because he is addicted to flattering drugs, he also takes these flattering drugs to help him, resulting in absurd political affairs. Zhu Zaiyuan reigned for 6 years and died of illness at the age of 36. Temple number Muzong.
Fourth, Emperor Mingshen Zhu Yijun
Emperor Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun, in the sixth year of Longqing (1572), Ming Muzong died, and 10-year-old Zhu Yijun took the throne, the year name Wanli, reigned for 48 years, was the longest reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In the first ten years of Zhu Yijun's reign, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, presided over government affairs, and with the support of Emperor Shenzong, a series of reform measures were implemented, and the social economy developed greatly. During this period, he presided over the famous Three Great Marches of the Wanli Dynasty and consolidated the territory of the Han family. In the later period of his reign, the state operation was almost stopped, and the Ming Dynasty gradually declined. On July 21, 1620, in the forty-eighth year of the Wanli Calendar, the Mingshen Sect collapsed, at the age of 56, and the temple number was Shenzong.
Three, Ming GuangZong Zhu Changluo
Emperor Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo (1582-1620), reigned for only one month, the fourteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, era name Taichang, temple name Guangzong. During his reign, he carried out a series of reform measures to eliminate maladministration, abolished the mining tax of the Wanli Dynasty, corrected the chaos, and revived the Gangji. However, after returning to the palace every day, he was immersed in wine, indulged in sexual pleasures, and his body was weak. Taichang died of illness on September 26, 1620, at the age of 38, known in history as the "Heavenly Son of January", and the temple number Guangzong.
Second, Ming Xi Zong Zhu Yu School
Emperor Mingxi Zhu Youxiao (1605–1627) was the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the half-brother of Emperor Mingsizong Zhu Youjian. He ascended the throne at the age of 16 and reigned for seven years. During Zhu Youxiao's reign, Keshi and Wei Zhongxian monopolized power and created unjust prisons such as "Yi Ugly Zhao Prison" and "Ying Yin Zhao Prison", and brutally persecuted the Donglin Party members who tried to reform the politics of the Ming Dynasty. Killing Liaodong jingxiong Tingbi led to the later Jin attack on Shenyang and Liaoyang, and the situation in Liaodong became increasingly severe. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), Zhu Youxiao, who fell ill in the water, took the "Immortal Medicine" and died at the age of 23.
First, Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian
Emperor Mingsizong Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was known as the Chongzhen Emperor from February 6, 1611 to April 25, 1644. After succeeding to the throne, the Chongzhen Emperor vigorously eradicated the castration party, was diligent in government affairs, lived frugally, and committed six sins against himself, and was a young and promising emperor. Unfortunately, he was suspicious by nature and could not save the declining Ming Dynasty. During his reign, a peasant uprising broke out, and the Jin regime was already in a situation of internal and external troubles. In 1644, when Li Zicheng's army attacked Beijing, he hanged himself at Coal Mountain and was martyred at the age of 34, reigning for 17 years. After the death of the Chongzhen Emperor, the temple name was Huaizong, and later changed to Yizong and Sizong.
