When it comes to history, I think many people have the impression that history is blunt, cold, and even more tasteless. But the real history is far more wonderful than the novel, but the same history, the use of narrative methods is very important, with warm and humorous words, narrating those immutable history, naturally will make this history become vivid and funny.
So today Song Anzhi came to another way to explain the lamentations of the 16 emperors of the dynasty.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: His parents died in his youth, and he was a little monk and even begged when he fell. Participating in the rebel army against the Yuan, it took 15 years to lay the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and it achieved the success of the first Northern Expedition in history, breaking the curse of the Northern Expedition that could not unify China.
But the heartache behind the brilliant life is also difficult to say. Hongwu twenty-five years of crown prince Zhu Biao died prematurely, more than sixty years old Zhu Yuanzhang white-haired people sent black haired people, a strong life, in the face of life and old age illness and death is also helpless.
Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunjiao: This eldest emperor was a filial son, and because of his filial piety, he added a lot of points, so after the early death of his father Zhu Biaoying, he was designated as the heir to the imperial throne by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Unfortunately, the filial piety zhu Yunjiao, after succeeding to the throne, showed a fierce side, forcefully cut the domain, and even forced his uncle Zhu Bai, the King of Xiang, to set himself on fire and die. As a result, he could not defeat the fourth uncle Zhu Di, the King of Yan, and became a loser.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di: The soldiers snatched the throne of his nephew, and after becoming emperor, he was either fighting or on the way to fighting. So much so that during his twenty-two years on the throne, he did not have time to frequent the harem, so except for the three sons of the Yan King, no new heirs were born, so he left a lot of speculation for future generations.
Akihito Zhu Gaozi: This helpless life, during the crown prince period, because his father Zhu Di was partial to the second brother, there was nothing to suppress himself, and he was trembling like walking on thin ice.
It was not easy for the daughter-in-law to survive to become the emperor, and as a result, she died young after ten months of reign, and was called the Son of Heaven in October.
Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, Zhu Zhanji: After becoming emperor, he worked with his father to create the "Rule of Renxuan". But he is too good at playing and likes to play with cockroaches, so he is jokingly called "The Emperor of The Cockroaches" by some people.
But in fact, Emperor Xuanzong was wronged, and this emperor was much stronger than the emperor praised in some film and television dramas. For example, personally go to the land and experience the lives of the people, so when formulating national policies, the people at the bottom will always be considered, and this alone is enough to write a close-up.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen: The hot-blooded teenager always misses the horseback life of his father Ming Xuanzong and his great-grandfather Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and also dreams of one day crossing the battlefield and dominating the world.
When Vala also invaded first, the teenager finally found the opportunity and began the imperial conquest at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen. As a result, when the war really started, I knew that fighting a war was not a family, the price was that the entire army of 200,000 troops was destroyed, the civilian and military officials who accompanied the army were also killed, and he himself became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be captured, almost ending the Daming Dynasty.
Later, Ming Yingzong was fortunate to return to Daming and restore to become an emperor, which can be described as a major miracle in Chinese history. When he died, or his life experience was too rich, he abolished the martyrdom system of driving history backwards with thousands of emotions.
Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty: This miserable life was originally the Prince of Taiping. As a result, his brother Ming Yingzong had to drive the imperial conquest and then was captured, and he was driven to the shelves to become the acting emperor, and from then on he was out of control, and when his brother Ming Yingzong returned, because of his desire for power, he was not willing to return the throne to his brother.
When his brother Ming Yingzong was restored, it was not long before emperor Ming Mingzong, who was seriously ill, died lonely. After his death, including the title of emperor, he was stripped away, naturally he was not buried in the Ming Tombs, and many years later, it was difficult to get a temple number, or the temple number of "Daizong", although this temple number has a good meaning, but it is somewhat a metaphor for the history of his being the acting emperor.
Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen: The Love of a Young Heavenly Son and a Middle-Aged Woman. Because Zhu Jianshen was deposed as the crown prince by his uncle Ming Dynasty Emperor when he was a child, there was a period of bleak years, and it was Wan Zhen'er who accompanied him during this period, so the two people had a long-term relationship, and Zhu Mishen had a deep affection for Wan Zhen'er, and even made him an imperial concubine for the first time.
As a result, in order for Princess Wan Guifei to give birth to a prince, the other pregnant concubines and concubines were all ordered by her to have their fetuses, almost causing Zhu Mi to die. Later, a ji palace maid conceived a dragon seed, gave birth to this prince under the cover of other palace women and eunuchs, and raised him to be six years old and met Zhu Mishen, and this prince was the later Ming Xiaozong.
Twenty-three years after Chenghua, Wan Guifei died violently. Ming Xianzong, who had a deep affection for him, was greatly shocked, and it did not take long to go with Wan Guifei.
Ming Xiaozong: A famous model husband in history, as an emperor, he insisted on monogamy. Moreover, it can be said that he is the perfect person among the emperors, and he also created the Hongzhi Zhongxing.
Unfortunately, because it was too exemplary, there was only one son, Zhu Houzhao, who had not yet taught this son, and the result was that the son was too capable of doing it, and he followed him to the end.
Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao: Like his great-grandfather Ming Yingzong, he was a hot-blooded teenager who liked to live on horseback, and also assumed the pseudonym Zhu Shou and personally went to the imperial conquest.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao still had two brushes and laid a great victory in Yingzhou. However, Zhu Houzhao's behavior in the traditional Confucian concept is tantamount to deviance, so this great victory in the history books records that the two sides only killed dozens of people, to know that the two sides almost 100,000 people fought for nearly a day, but only such a record, it is indeed incredible.
Zhu Houzhao, who pursues individuality, is also very interesting in his final death. He fell ill from falling into the water on the way to the south of the capital, and as a result, he died young, and died of an heir, which was equivalent to the extinction of Emperor Ming's lineage.
Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi: It is simply a life of great contrast. His cousin Emperor Mingwuzong Zhu Houzhao was proclaimed emperor after his early death, and was a very intelligent man, who could be said to be quite shrewd in the first twenty years of his reign, following the example of Taizu and Chengzu in their efforts to govern the country and govern the country quite effectively.
From the middle and late stages of his reign, he began to slack off from the government, and his heart was only on alchemy. Unexpectedly, I was almost strangled to death by the palace maid, and I made a lot of jokes. The contrast between before and after is quite large, and in the end, it is suspected that he often takes too much "elixir" and dies prematurely.
Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan: Probably one of the emperors with the lowest sense of existence in the history of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that he was the practitioner of the rule of inaction, seemingly mediocre, but in fact he also had great courage. For example, the Longqing switch abolished the sea ban, but unfortunately it was only six years in power.
Emperor Mingshen Wanli Zhu Yijun: Wanli's life is like the "god" in his temple number, which can be described as quite nervous.
The longest-reigning emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, this life can be described as willful and rebellious. Because of the matter of establishing a prince, a direct strike, although small things do not matter strictly, but the consequences are very serious. Moreover, Yang Hao was selected as the general of the defeated army to suppress Nurhaci, and the result was that the loss of troops was broken, making Nurhaci rise uncontrollably.
What is more crucial is that the Wanli Emperor did not make zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor, the prince, as the crown prince, and simply broke the jar and broke it, only to enjoy himself, and the flood after his death was terrible. He did not attach any importance to the education of the crown prince Zhu Changluo, so that only 24 years after his death, the Ming Dynasty collapsed.
Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo: The record of short reign is not the shortest, only shorter. Although it shows that Renzong is the Son of Heaven in October, Zhu Changluo's classmate is even more powerful, and he reigned for barely a month because of the death of the red pill case, which is known as the January Heavenly Son.
Ming Xi Zong Zhu You: I don't have any special hobbies, I like carpenter life. Placed in the folk is a craftsman, absolutely do not worry about eating and wearing. In the ordinary world, at most, it is a cursed emperor.
It is a pity that it is placed in the last days of the dynasty, which is the misfortune of the country. Moreover, this emperor died the same way as Emperor Mingwuzong Zhu Houzhao, both died of illness because of falling into the water, and both emperors died because of falling into the water, and it is not known whether there is a conspiracy behind this.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian: Ben was the Prince of Taiping, and he had not studied the Imperial Mind Technique. After the death of his elder brother Zhu Youxiao, Zhu You was promoted to emperor and placed in the Ping Dynasty, which was a blessing cultivated in several lifetimes. Unfortunately, in the last days of the dynasty, this is a kind of sadness.
The Daming Jiangshan, which was difficult to return to, did not rise from the dead in the hands of Zhu Youjian, who did not understand the imperial heart technique. In the end, Zhu Youjian, who was helpless, chose to martyr the country with his body when the Ming Dynasty fell.
The Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, each with its own characteristics. There are people who work hard, and there are more cynics, which can be described as full of personality. And those who lament the past are even more emotional in addition to reading history, and the wonderful history is still worth pondering, and it is even more possible to learn from history.
Thank you for watching Song Anzhi's exclusive original article, focusing on the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties and its great history of China, like to talk about those immutable histories from a different perspective, I think friends can remember to like and pay attention to Ha.
