In many film and television dramas, there will be a particularly outrageous plot. But the script "comes from life, higher than life", so many people are too lazy to be more realistic.
In history, there was an emperor whose life was even more bizarre, and if a historical drama was made according to the real life of this person, there must be many people who complained that the plot was too outrageous. This "outrageous" emperor is Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty, so what bizarre experiences did he have?

In ancient times, many emperors ascended the throne from an early age, and Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen was no exception. However, other young emperors had lofty ambitions and were bent on straightening out the politics of the dynasty. Zhu Qizhen, on the other hand, was very stubborn, and even if he ascended the throne as emperor, he was bent on having fun.
At this time, the empress dowager took the power of the government into her own hands, and all matters were handled by herself.
So
Zhu Qi Town
He was also a "nominal" emperor.
However, he also enjoyed it, and without real power, he did not have to govern those annoying affairs of the government, and he was able to concentrate on playing with the cockroach. In the palace compound, it is very boring to play alone. As a result, Zhu Qizhen became acquainted with the eunuch Wang Zhen, and the two of them played all day and were happy.

However, such a day could not last long, and Emperor Mingying Zhu Qizhen realized that the empress dowager was old and might die at any time. If the empress dowager is gone, then the government is bound to be in chaos, and then she will not be able to concentrate on fun.
Zhu Qizhen expected this to be the result in the future, and he was very worried, so he began to work on political affairs himself, hoping to lay a good foundation for having fun in the future.
An emperor who governs the country is actually for the sake of being able to have better fun in the future?
Such absurdity is really rare in the world.
However, Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen did not know anything about political affairs, and under his rule, the court became "a mess". At this time, the eunuch Wang Zhen had the intention of getting involved in the affairs of the government, so he told Zhu Qizhen that he was good at handling these affairs.
Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed and eager to entrust all the political affairs in his hands to him. In this way, it is the eunuch dictatorship.
When eunuchs are in charge, will the country have a day of peace?

Later, Walla often harassed the Ming borders. At this time, Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen was a teenager, full of spirit, and he also wanted to learn from Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to lead the army to fight, and wanted to unify the world. Coupled with the encouragement of the eunuch Wang Zhen, Zhu Qizhen hastily decided to attack Vala.
In addition, Wang Zhen also suggested that Zhu Qizhen should be personally marched to show the prestige of Emperor Daming. At that time, there were many objections from the ministers of the DPRK and China, but they could not withstand Wang Zhen's persuasion, and the imperial conquest became a foregone conclusion. Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, as the king of a country, was led by a eunuch by the nose, which was really sad!
The Ming army was in a hurry, and when it arrived in the Datong area, it encountered heavy rain, and many of the recruits were sick and had not yet prepared sufficient equipment.
Then
In my heart, I wanted to withdraw my troops.
However, Wang Zhen believed that the emperor had personally marched and withdrew his troops before they had arrived on the battlefield, which was detrimental to his majesty. Therefore, Wang Zhen suggested a detour from Ulju. Because
Weizhou is Wang Zhen's hometown, and Wang Zhen believes that passing through his hometown with the emperor is a very face-saving thing.

When the Wala army caught up, the two sides engaged in a battle at Tumu Fort, in which the Ming army was beaten to no avail, and the town of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi was also captured by the enemy. As soon as the news of the emperor's capture reached the capital, the whole country was shocked.
The courtiers immediately made a decision in panic and supported Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne. As a result, Zhu Qizhen became the Emperor Taishang.
The royal driver personally marched, and as a result, he lost his throne.
Then, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Daming and Vala fought several more battles, but all of them were victorious by the Ming army. After several defeats, Vala wanted to withdraw his troops. But they also had a special captive, Zhu Qizhen, on their hands.
Naturally, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Taishang could not go back with him, and of course he could not kill them. If he was killed, then the Wala army would not be able to return.

If Zhu Qizhen stays on the side of The Wallachian side for one more day, the Wallachian army will be a little more dangerous, and this "hot potato" is still good to get rid of it as soon as possible. In this way, the leader of the Wallachians asked the Ming Dynasty for peace, and hoped that the Ming court would quickly send someone to take back zhu qizhen.
However, at this time, Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the throne, was extremely reluctant to take Zhu Qizhen back, and once his brother returned to China, the courtiers would naturally turn to him, so it would be difficult for him to continue his own throne. However, although Zhu Qiyu was reluctant, the courtiers and the people of Daming wanted to take back Zhu Qi town.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Zhu Qiyu had to compromise and send someone to take him back.
But
Zhu Qi
After the town returned to the Ming Dynasty,
Zhu Qiyu
One decision we "expected" was to put my brother in motion
The town was imprisoned in the Nangong And sent people to strictly guard it

It can be said that Zhu Qizhen was not so miserable when he was a prisoner of the Wallachians, and as a captured emperor, although the treatment was not very good, at least he had food and clothing. However, after returning to China, he was imprisoned in the Nangong by his own brother, and even eating and wearing were intermittent.
Such a situation was really something that Zhu Qizhen did not expect, which was why some people did not want to be in the imperial family, and in the face of imperial power, family affection was worthless. The temptation of imperial power was too great, and Zhu Qiyu did not hesitate to use any means to protect the throne to his own brother.

This imprisonment was eight years, and although such a day was miserable, it also tempered Zhu Qizhen's character. Later, after great success in an operation to force the palace, Zhu Qizhen was able to regain the throne. After Zhu Qiyu was pulled down from the throne, he was also imprisoned.
However, Zhu Qiyu experienced such a big ups and downs, could not bear it, and died of illness within a few days. If Zhu Qiyu had taken the initiative to give way, perhaps such a tragic incident would not have happened.
However, in the face of imperial power, Zhu Qiyu could not withstand the temptation, so such a fate could also be regarded as punishment for him.

And Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne again this time, his heart was full of emotions, and his state of mind also changed greatly. At this time, Ming Yingzong only wanted to grasp the power in his hands and wanted to do something that benefited the country and the people.
whereas
The town also really did a big thing: abolished the martyrdom system, which was a major leap forward in history, and the feudal burial system of the millennium came to an end.
This move, I don't know how many future generations of palace concubines are grateful to Dade.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's experience in this life is really too outrageous and wonderful. As an emperor, although he did not manage state affairs well and lived a life in a mess, Zhu Qizhen also did a meaningful thing.
This one meritorious deed was enough to counter the wrong things he had done before!
The town also ended up with a happy ending
