Zhu Zhanji and his father Zhu Gaozi ruled the Ming Dynasty for only 11 years, but the history books spoke highly of him, even compared with the rule of Wenjing in the Western Han Dynasty, known as the "Rule of Renxuan".
After taking the throne, the officials were called their posts, the government was peaceful, the discipline was repaired, the cangyu was envied, and the lu yan was happy, and the years could not be calamity. Gai Mingxing is the sixtieth year of the calendar year, the people's morale is gradually relaxed, and the steaming has the image of peace. If the strong clan rises suddenly, it will be smoothed out immediately, sweeping away the side dust, cunning and deterrence, the emperor's heroic posture and wisdom, and the few grams of rope ancestor warriors.
At the beginning, any dynasty won the world by force, and the initial Xungui clique was all military generals, but with the gradual development of the country, the founding heroes who held military power would gradually withdraw from the stage and be replaced by a group of civilian officials with books in their hands. Zhu Zhanji's era is such an alternate era. He created the prosperity of Renxuan, and at the same time it was his policy that the prosperity could not be continued.
Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne and took over the military power of the whole country in an all-round way
It is said that in the first year of Jianwen (1399), on the eve of Zhu Zhanji's birth, Zhu Di happened to have a dream, dreaming that Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Di the Great Gui, which symbolized imperial power, and said to Zhu Di: "The descendants of zhuan will live forever." After waking up from the dream, he heard the news that the next person had come to report the birth of Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Diruo had some understanding. Perhaps it was this dream that stimulated Zhu Di and gave him the idea of seizing his nephew Jiangshan.
Zhu Zhanji grew up with Zhu Di, accompanied Zhu Di on expeditions many times, experienced hundreds of battles, and systematically learned from Zhu Gaozi's many years of experience in supervising the country. Don't look at his young age, but he has trained a body of martial arts and kung fu, can go to the battlefield, can rule the world, is a rare imperial talent.
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the first major thing he dealt with was the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and after quelling Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion, the ming dynasty kings surrendered their military power to Zhu Zhanji. At this time, Zhu Zhanji had no internal opponents and became the real ruler.
The artist Emperor Zhu Zhanji created a system of joint auxiliary government of the si li supervisor
In 1449, the change of Tumu Fort, Zhu Qizhen was captured, and the first soldiers came to the city, almost making the Ming Dynasty Guozuo frozen in 81 years, and the real hidden danger of this matter was actually buried during the Zhu Zhanji period.
Zhu Zhanji was an emperor with artistic talent, writing poetry, painting, and utensils, he was proficient in everything, and was an emperor artist of the Ming Dynasty. Historical experience tells us that when an emperor is obsessed with his artistic hobbies, it is difficult to govern the country wholeheartedly. In the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty had abolished the chancellor and decided directly with the emperor by the six ministries, which also increased the burden of the emperor's work, and Zhu Zhanji, who wanted to cultivate his own interests and hobbies and wanted to govern the country well, needed to find a way to fill this power vacuum, so this part of the power was finally filled by the cabinet.
The civil bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty has always been very powerful, and when they rise up, they dare to directly confront the emperor, which is a tool to assist the emperor in governing the country, and also to balance the emperor's arbitrary behavior. Even after Zhu Zhanji wanted to abolish it, it was only after repeated consultations with the cabinet that hu clan had no children. Zhu Zhanji deeply knew that the emperor's unfreedom was not everything, and he could decide everything by himself.
Zhu Zhanji was very clever, in order to avoid too many conflicts with the cabinet, but also to avoid being too much bound by the cabinet, so he introduced the system of the joint auxiliary government of the si li supervisor, and the cabinet's opinions on the handling of various chapters were put forward in the form of "vote drafting", and then the emperor made decisions and approvals, and at the same time authorized the "Si Li Bingbi eunuch" to represent the emperor to sign and approve the cabinet's proposed votes.
Under this system, the proposed vote of the cabinet also needs to be decided by the internal supervisor, so that the cabinet is controlled by the auditor who represents the imperial power, and the superintendent is monitored by the emperor. This system strengthened the power of eunuchs, but it was a blessing for emperors who were lazy in the government, which was also the reason why Wanli and Jiajing did not like the upper dynasty, but they were still able to control the government.
In order to allow the eunuchs to better carry out this supervision work, Zhu Zhanji began to open a eunuch school in the palace, with senior civil officials as teachers and eunuchs reading and reading. No system would be perfect, and Zhu Wasjeong-ki was freed from his busy work, but another group of eunuchs who liked power began to appear.
After the implementation of this system, from the central to the local, from the military to the civilian, all departments began to have the intervention of eunuchs, and these eunuchs who believed that they were the sons of heaven always had no fear, above the local officials, and even interfered in the military and politics, doing whatever they wanted.
"Ming did not die in exile, but in eunuchs", and Zhu Zhanji was the key figure who made the eunuch power rise.
In 1435, Zhu Zhanji died and was succeeded by the 9-year-old Zhu Qizhen, who at this time was led by Empress Zhang and the "Cabinet Three Yangs". And another person around the little emperor is also quietly rising, that is, Zhu Qizhen's companion Wang Zhen, during the period of Empress Zhang, Wang Zhen was suppressed and did not dare to be too arrogant, but in the 9th year of orthodoxy, after the death of Empress Zhang, Wang Zhen began to become active, monopolizing the government and guiding the young emperor to play with fire, which eventually led to the change of Tumu Fort in 1449.
However, when analyzing the fact that Wang Zhen's dictatorship and Ming Yingzong's incompetence led to the change of Tumu Fort, we must not forget that under the circumstances at that time, the old ministers of Zhu Zhanji's period knew the danger of the imperial conquest, but they were powerless to prevent this fiasco. In fact, fundamentally speaking, it is the collective outbreak of political hidden dangers in Zhu Zhanji's period, and it is also the tragedy of the cabinet and the celebrant of ceremonies and ceremonies that are mutually restrained, and it is the problem left over from Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji created the prosperous era of Renxuan, and the system he left behind also made the continuation of this prosperous world impossible, and it became the biggest hidden danger in the jiangshan for more than 100 years in the late Ming Dynasty.
