In fact, Zhu Houxi's throne was finalized by Yang Tinghe and Empress Zhang, which is also more reasonable, brother and brother!
Even with the addition of other objective factors, he is most likely to take the throne.
First of all, his uncle Hongzhi only had one son, Zhengde, while the Zhengde Emperor died prematurely in his prime, leaving no heirs, and the nearest clan only had cousins and uncles. In order to facilitate the control of the new emperor, Yang Tinghe and Zhang Hou would certainly not choose Changjun, so they would only choose among Zhengde's cousins.
Among several cousins:
Except for the eldest uncle and the second uncle who died early
My father had only himself
The fourth uncle is Jiajing's father
The fifth uncle, Zhu Youdi (朱祐棆), the Fifth Uncle of Qihui (岐惠王), was the head of the state;
The eldest son, Zhu Houye, was born in 1498, and DaJiajing was 9 years old, and when Zhengde died, he was already in his twenties and had more than enough authority.
Several of the younger brothers in the family of the Seventh Uncle Heng gong wang Zhu Youyi were also many adults, and the eldest Zhu Houyi had already been in Qingzhou in the twelfth year of his reign.
The eighth uncle, Zhu Youfeng (朱祐枟), the Eighth Uncle of Yongjing, had no sons and was removed from the state.
The Ninth Uncle Shouding King Zhu Youyu had no sons, and the kingdom was divided.
Uncle Ten died early.
The eleventh uncle, Zhu Youjian, the king of Ru'an, had no sons and was removed from the state.
The son of Zhu Youqiao, the twelfth uncle of Jingjian, died early, and the country was removed.
Several brothers of the thirteenth uncle Rongzhuang King Zhu Youshu's family, Shu was humble.
The fourteenth uncle ShenYi Wang Zhu Youkai had no sons, and the state was divided.
After the extinction of the Hongzhi lineage, the descendants of Emperor Xianzong only had jiajing's father as the first line, so whether it was based on age control or the zongshu etiquette law, the possibility of Jiajing taking the throne was the greatest.
