Each dynasty in China's history has its own characteristics, for example, in aesthetics, the Han Dynasty is better to be slender, while the Tang Dynasty advocates fullness, and the so-called "Yan Gong Huan Fat" is also; for example, in literature, Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing novels have their own wonderful.
Interestingly, the emperors of each dynasty also have unique and unique characteristics - the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty love handsome men, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty have many dolls, the emperors of the Jin Dynasty are mostly puppets in the hands of powerful subjects, half of the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty are addicted to serving "Immortal Immortality", the Emperors of the Song Dynasty are good at reading and love calligraphy, and the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty are worse than a generation and more and more faint.
In addition to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there is also a "unique point" of the Ming Emperor, that is, he loves to turn over the cases set by Lao Tzu, but this is not a bad thing.
After the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di forced Emperor Jianwen to disappear and completely lose contact with the world through the Battle of Jingnan, he launched a crazy to super perverted revenge against Emperor Jianwen's former ministers who opposed him and resisted him, and Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Tie Xuan, JingQing, and other former ministers loyal to Emperor Jianwen were all tragically destroyed by the scourge of raiding their homes and exterminating their families, and Fang Xiaoru was even more annihilated by the brutal Zhu Di.
The blood of Emperor Jianwen's former ministers and their relatives stained the skies of Nanjing, and sinners exiled to the border for their involvement crowded the roads outside Nanjing.
However, after Zhu Di's death, his son Zhu Gaozi, the Hongxi Emperor, went so far as to overturn the case he had originally decided, and a piece of edict turned the jianwen old ministers who were extremely evil in his father's eyes into loyal and righteous soldiers.
Zhu Gaozi was a benevolent and generous emperor, and he was quite critical of his father's harsh punishment and frequent use of soldiers, and after he took the throne, he changed his course and began reforms.
Zhu Gaozi's first rectification measure was to pardon the families of criminals who had been exiled to the border by Emperor Jianwen and Yongle, and to allow them to return to their original residences, and then to further redress the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, so that many unjust prisons, such as the "Ten Tribes" massacre of Jianwen Zhongchen Fang Xiaoru, could be revealed, and some of the officials of the victimized ministers were restored, which should be something that Zhu Di could not have imagined no matter how wild he thought before his death.
In 1449, the "Tumu Fort Rebellion" occurred, Zhu Gaozi's grandson Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Walla (an important mongol branch), and his younger brother Zhu Qiqian was put on the throne, which is the historical Jingtai Emperor. With the support of Emperor Jingtai, Shangshu Yuqian commanded the Ming army to defeat the Wallachian army that had invaded Beijing, and thwarted the attempt of the Wara chiefs to use Emperor Yingzong to force the Ming Dynasty to seek peace.
At that time, he also first abducted Ming Yingzong to the city of Beijing and demanded that the Ming government take out a large amount of gold and silver silk to make peace with them, otherwise he would kill Emperor Yingzong.
Yu Qian sternly refused on the grounds that "social welfare is important, and the king is light." Later, he also saw that Yingzong had completely lost his use value, so he released him back.
In 1457, the "Change of The Gate" occurred, Ming Yingzong was restored to the throne, Yu Qian was framed by Yingzong's trusted traitors as a crime of rebellion, and was killed outside chongwen gate in the cold wind.
Emperor Ming's son Emperor Xianzong, Emperor Xianzong, knew that Yu Qian was a loyal vassal who had been wrongfully killed, and soon after he ascended the throne, he rehabilitated Yu Qian, restored Yu Qian's official position and reputation, and sent people to sacrifice in front of Yu Qian's tomb, and also issued a nationwide edict praising Yu Qian's meritorious deeds during his lifetime.
In 1521, emperor Zhu Houzhao died because he was the only son and left no heirs, and his cousin Zhu Houcang was fortunate to inherit the unification and become the head of the Ming Empire, which was another well-known Emperor Jiajing.
The Jiajing Emperor wanted his deceased father Zhu Youhang the Prince of Xingxian to receive the emperor's title after his death, but Yang Tinghe, who welcomed him to the throne, and others resolutely disagreed, and demanded that the new emperor call his uncle Zhu Youjun the Emperor of Hongzhi the Emperor's father and his own father Zhu Youhang the Prince of Xingxian the Emperor as his uncle in accordance with imperial custom.
The Jiajing Emperor refused to compromise and threatened to abdicate, and Yang Tinghe was forced to resign and return to his hometown, which is the famous "Great Ceremony" incident in history.
After the Jiajing Emperor forced Yang Tinghe away, he formally issued an edict to his biological father with the title of Emperor Gongmu. Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen gathered more than two hundred imperial court officials and rushed to Jinshui Bridge to cry in unison, expressing strong protest against the Jiajing Emperor's trespassing. The Jiajing Emperor Long Yan was furious and ordered the Officials of the Jinyi Wei Court to kill sixteen people on the spot.
Ten days later, Yang Shen and six courtiers once again wept and protested in the court, and the Jiajing Emperor waved his imperial pen and exiled Yang Shen to the border of Yunnan, five thousand miles away.
The Jiajing Emperor hated Yang Shen to the bone marrow, and during his forty-two years on the throne, he had granted amnesty to the world six times, but each time he would add such a clause - except for Yang Shen. The unfortunate Yang Shen did not escape the clutches of the Jiajing Emperor throughout his life, until he died in Yunnan after being exiled for more than forty years.
Eight years after Yang Shen's death, the Jiajing Emperor died, and his son Zhu Zaizhong succeeded him as Emperor Longqing. As soon as the Longqing Emperor ascended the throne, he overturned the exile case of Yang Shen that his father had set, which not only restored Yang Shen's reputation, but also posthumously honored Yang Shen as "Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple".
Emperor Yongle, Emperor Ming Yingzong, and Emperor Jiajing were all the most powerful people in the world, and they all said one thing and covered the sky with one hand, but their solipsistic dragon eyes had not yet been closed steadily, but their sons had completely flipped the case that Lao Tzu had approved, and inadvertently slapped Lao Tzu in the face.
If these three emperors knew about it, they didn't know how they would feel or react.
