Take stock of the seven Emperors of the Ming Dynasty

The Ming Dynasty was the generation with the most emperors in Chinese history.

Starting from Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandchildren, one generation is not as good as a generation!

I originally planned to pick a few typical talks, but I didn't expect that I accidentally listed so many.

1. Ming Yingzong - Orthodox Emperor - Zhu Qizhen

During his 22-year reign, he made almost no political achievements, but instead created a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to favor eunuchs, and made the Ming Dynasty almost fall. After him, the situation in the Ming Dynasty began to deteriorate.

2. Emperor Mingxianzong - Chenghua Emperor - Zhu Jianshen

Cowardly and incompetent, spoiling noble concubines, reusing eunuchs, superstitious monks, favoring alchemists and eunuchs. After him, the social crisis became increasingly serious.

3. Emperor Wuzong of Ming - Emperor Zhengde - Zhu Houzhao

Absurd and indulgent, the harem and palace maids in the palace got tired of playing, so they sneaked out of the palace to find excitement. He also built a leopard house for his own amusement, in short, a lifetime of nonsense. After him, the Ming Dynasty declined day by day.

4. Emperor Ming shizong - Jiajing Emperor - Zhu Houxuan

Obsessed with alchemy, thinking of immortality, and having no intention of governing the country, the palace was the same as the Taoist Temple, and forced the palace women to collect materials for alchemy, and they were almost assassinated by the palace women. After him, the rate of decline of the Ming Dynasty began to intensify.

5. Ming Shenzong - Wanli Emperor - Zhu Yijun

For 48 years in power (the longest reign of the Ming Dynasty), 30 years were in a state of strike and did not go to the dynasty, so serious that many ministers did not know what the emperor looked like. After him, the foundations of the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed.

6. Ming Guangzong - Emperor Taichang - Zhu Changluo

One month after ascending the throne, he cried out for his life because of excessive indulgence. But even if he didn't die suddenly, he wasn't an outstanding person. After him, the Ming Dynasty accelerated the pace of its demise.

7. Emperor Mingxi - Emperor of the Apocalypse - Zhu Youxiao

He handed over the government to the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who indulged in being a carpenter all day. After him, the fate of the Ming Dynasty sounded a wake-up call.

Emperor Mingsizong - Chongzhen Emperor - Zhu Youjian

This emperor is not a dimwitted monarch, so I have no serial number. Although he is not good at employing people, at least he has nothing to say about his work attitude, and he is bent on turning the situation around. Unfortunately, at that time, Daming's qi number had been exhausted. During his reign, the Ming Dynasty officially collapsed.
