In my opinion, the coolest emperor should be the Mingshen Sect. How to define this cool? If you eat and drink every day, and then go to the harem to chat with the concubines, then what you, the emperor, did is too boring. Instead of this, it is better to be a rich man. When you are an emperor, I personally think the coolest thing is the sense of control, that is, you have great power, you need to fight with the ministers from time to time, knock on the disobedient enemies on time, and then the people under your hands are living a fairly good life, I think such an emperor is interesting.
By my personal definition, I think the coolest emperor is the Myōjin Sect.
First, I love to read, and I am not stupid
Some emperors, who did not like to read, and had a stubborn temperament, often made some behavior that made people speechless and childish, and even put themselves in a dangerous situation (that is, you, Ming Wuzong). If he was deceived by his courtiers because he was too stupid, and then he did not know it like a fool, then the emperor was too depressed.
But this is not the case with the Myōjin Sect, who has been reading since childhood and is very diligent, so he has a certain knowledge and brains, which can show that the Myōshin Sect is not a fool, on the contrary, the Myōjin Sect is also very clever. He himself boasted that he "could read at the age of five."
Even after becoming emperor, Myeongjinzong did not give up his own learning at all, he often read, studied the scriptures, learned the art of governing the country, can be said to be a rare diligent emperor, so Myeongjinzong is also known as:
"The holy school is new every day, and it is sitting on the rule of peace." Emperor Xi Yingzong was also in Yuchong, and at first he did not hear that the Three Yang Princes had this day and night, so he made Wang Zhen steal the power of the country and endanger the sect. Then the spirit of the early years of this year is really only eternal."
This knowledge and effort ensured that Myeongjin sect would not be deceived by the ministers like a fool, and thus could also pave the way for the future life of the emperor.
Second, the joy of fighting with the minister
To tell the truth, since you became an emperor, if you don't fight with the ministers, you will feel much less happy.
The MingShen Sect first fought the high arch, although it would soon be subject to the prestige of Lord Zhang Juzheng, but this was only temporary.
But I have to say that Zhang Juzheng is indeed a capable person, and it is the existence of this kind of person that makes the emperor's life easier, and the life of the Ming Dynasty can be extended.
After Zhang Juzheng's death, the revenge of the MingShen Sect also came quickly, and I am afraid that the happiness brought by this revenge will not be too little.
Later, the Ming Dynasty also did not have any powerful ministers and traitors, ensuring that the emperor always controlled the entire country and the entire imperial court, and ensuring that the imperial power would not fall by the wayside.
Third, the joy of fighting with foreign enemies
During the Wanli period, there were the famous three major marches of the Wanli Calendar, namely the Battle of Ningxia in which Li Rusong (Li Chengliang's eldest son) pacified the Mongol rebellion, the Battle of Li Rusong, the Battle of Korea in which Magui resisted the invasion of the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime, and the Battle of Bozhou in which Li Hualong pacified the rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the head of the Miao Territory.
As an emperor, it is so happy to beat up the young people on time in life, show off the prestige of the country, and even beat up the Japanese.
Watching the elite troops under his command quell the rebellion little by little, consolidating the Jiangshan Society, and watching their own Jiangshan stability, I think as an emperor, my heart is still cool.
Fourth, the joy of not working
To tell the truth, being an emperor has done the qin shi huang or Zhu Yuanzhang's share, which is really tiring. Every day, I have to watch a lot of light folding, where is there happiness to speak of? Just as Zhu Yuanzhang still wants to be a Jiangnan rich man, there is nothing to sleep until the sun is on the three poles.
When we look at the Ming Shen Sect, the Ming Shen Sect is basically lazy and lazy, not going to the dynasty and not approving the chapter, completely emptying the self, this kind of happiness of not working, I am afraid it is also quite cool.
