If you want to say that the emperors in Chinese history are the most successful, they must think of the Qin Emperor Han Wu, and the achievements they have made are indelible in the hearts of people today. During their reign, they carried out political reforms, broadened the territory of the country, and worked for the benefit of the people, but not every emperor was able to do his duty well and keep his name in the hearts of future generations forever, nor could he be remembered the longer he reigned.
The emperor I want to introduce to you today reigned for less than a year, but his historical evaluation is very high, he is Akihito Zhu Gaozi, the early Zhu Gaozi and his father Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingnan, at that time it can be described as unlimited scenery, but in Zhu Di's heart was not optimistic about Zhu Gaozi, thinking that Zhu Gaozi's figure was too fat, and the emperor's temperament was very inconsistent, but fortunately, under the advice of the ministers, he agreed to make Zhu Gaozi crown prince.
As the crown prince, Zhu Gaozi did not slacken off, and his life in the world has always been like walking on thin ice, because his father Zhu Di has a decisive personality, and he also wants to abolish Zhu Gaozi whenever he wants, so Zhu Gaozi has always been walking on thin ice when he becomes a prince, and he does not dare to make any mistakes. Later, after Zhu Di's death, Zhu Gaozi became emperor, but Zhu Gaozi was very short-lived, only one year as emperor, but compared with his son's ten years of rule and the Tang Dynasty's "Zhenguan Rule", only because he solved the original four major problems, let's take a look.
The first is the reorganization of the cabinet, which is the most trusted organizational body of the emperor, and the power is also very large, but the gradual growth of this institution will also make the power of the emperor be emptied. In order to restrain the emperor's restraint, Zhu Gaozi controlled the rank of the minister in this institution to Wupin, in order to control the control of power. The second is to change the atmosphere of the officialdom, because in the past, the imperial court had been living a precarious life, and the entire imperial court was dead and lacking vitality. After Zhu Gaozi ascended to the throne, he believed that the world did not have to be governed by means of war, so he wanted to achieve the rectification of the country through benevolent government. Zhu Gaozi began to abolish some harsh criminal laws formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and also promoted some very capable officials, and directly suspended some officials who did not do practical things.
The third thing is to reduce and tax, to resettle displaced people who have been displaced by the war, to improve their lives, to often use food from the national treasury for disaster relief, and to encourage people to cultivate the land and fish to increase their income. The last thing was to pardon the wronged subjects in the Battle of Jingnan, pardon them, and restore them to their posts. Such a move allowed the Ming Dynasty to get more sincere hearts of its courtiers, and later they united as one, and it was at this time that the Ming Dynasty began to develop rapidly and move towards a glorious road.
