After Zhu Houxi, there was another emperor in the Ming Dynasty who died of Dan Yao, that is, his son Zhu Zaituo, but unlike his father, he was addicted to taking aphrodisiacs, too close to the female color, and finally planted in the female color, only 6 years on the throne, he died. In fact, he is not as lustful as everyone thinks, he changed the shortcomings of his father's rule after he took the throne, handled many government issues, and made the national treasury sufficient, the only drawback is that he is too greedy for women, and he takes aphrodisiacs for a long time, which eventually leads to worse and worse health and absurdity in political affairs.

Zhu Zaiquan is Zhu Houxi's third son, according to the reason, it should be the eldest son who took the throne, but the eldest son died in the 2 months of birth, and Zhu Houxi, who believed in Taoism, listened to the words of the Fangshi and said that the two dragons did not meet, which meant that the emperor and the prince could not meet, if they met, there would be a big misfortune, so after he lost the prince, he ignored the other sons, but the princes gradually grew up, and they had to hold a ceremony to leave the cabinet, as the emperor must be present, but what he did not expect was that the ceremony had just been held, and the second son died. At this time, the emperor believed that sentence even more, and from then on he strictly observed it, so Zhu Zaiyuan did not enjoy his father's love since he was a child. The relationship between father and son is as light as water.
Zhu Houxi's eldest son and second son both died, and there were two sons left, Zhu Zaizhen and Zhu Zaizhen, originally Zhu Zaizhen was bent on seizing the throne, but his father sent him out of the capital to take the throne, which dispelled his idea from then on, and finally went one step ahead of his father, so there was only the third zhu Zaizhen left. The emperor dragged on the establishment of the crown prince for two years, and finally could not withstand the soft and hard bubbles of the ministers and the empress, and he thought of a way to have the best of both worlds, that is, not to establish a prince in disguise, but to let him go out of the cabinet to study, so as to carry out future training. In this way, Zhu Zaikun, who was only 16 years old, was ordered to move out of his home, leave his parents, and start his own independent life, laying the foundation for future governance of the country.

After Zhu Houxi's death, Zhu Zaikun successfully ascended the throne, because he was previously ordered to go out to study, he came into contact with the world outside the palace, experienced the hardships of the people's lives, knew how to understand the suffering of the people, and also learned about some of the drawbacks between the imperial court, so as soon as he ascended to the throne, he changed some of the original governance shortcomings of his father, released all the ministers who had previously been imprisoned by his father, stopped the Taoist rituals he had previously believed in, and when he left the cabinet to study, he formed a deep friendship with the minister Gao Gong, who had arranged for his father to study together, so after he ascended to the throne, The reuse of high arches, and with his assistance, the country was governed very well, reaching another peaceful and prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no permission to have overseas trade, in the period of rule by the ancestors, they reused eunuchs, once led to the emptiness of the national treasury, after Zhu Zaiyuan took the throne, the state assets were so tight that even the officials could not pay the money, in the face of such a crisis, he decided to lift the sea ban, thereby saving the country, after the ban, many people have jobs, actively do business with foreign countries, soon the national economy has been developed, the people have money, Zhu Zaiyuan did this well, and very far-sighted, The economy of the Ming Dynasty reached another peak, and the national treasury was increased by tens of millions of taels of silver. Militarily, he attached great importance to the issue of border defense, and he adopted an attitude of negotiating peace, sending emissaries to negotiate, ending more than 200 years of disputes with Mongolia, so that the matter was resolved peacefully and greatly reduced the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty.
It is a pity that Zhu Zaikun's ascension to the throne saved many of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, and accelerated the development of the economy, but the fly in the ointment is that he has a fatal shortcoming, that is, he is too, excessive indulgence, lust for beauty, and even in his tea cup and bedside pattern are printed with pictures of men and women, perhaps because of his youthful vigor, physiological needs, his unrestrained lust for women, and even long-term aphrodisiacs to help, so that the body is slowly weakened, resulting in the next 2 months can not go to the DPRK.

After two months of recuperation, his body easily recovered a little better, but he did not remember the lesson and began to indulge, one day when he went to the court, he suddenly felt dizzy, his body was powerless to support, and he had no choice but to let the guards help him go back to announce his retirement, and when he returned to the palace, he summoned his trusted minister into the palace, and he also knew that his life would soon begin to arrange the aftermath. He died shortly afterwards at the age of 36.
Although Zhu Zaiquan was later addicted to female sex, he actually made a lot of achievements after he took the throne, he was good at employing people, implemented a series of policies, promoted the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, and could be regarded as a shoucheng king.
