Hello everyone, today is another sunny day, I don't know how you feel today? Let's take a look at the protagonist we want to talk to you about today. What happened to everyone? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.
When Emperor Mingwuzong was still the crown prince, eight eunuchs in the Eastern Palace were known as the "Eight Tigers". Led by Liu Jin, in order to curry favor with the future new emperor, they paid tribute to the prince every day with some strange toys, and often organized various performances and various sports activities, so that the East Palace at that time was jokingly called "Hundred Theaters" by people, just imagine how the young Zhu Houzhao could resist the temptation of these things, so he began to indulge in it, and throughout his life, he was unable to extricate himself, and his studies and political affairs were of course abandoned.
In 1505, the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Juexiao, died, and Houzhao, who was only 15 years old, took the throne as Emperor Wuzong of Ming. However, the emperor did not pull him out of the game, but made him rely on the emperor's supreme power to do whatever he wanted.
In order to reduce the restrictions on himself by the internal officials, he went so far as to abolish all the internal officials in the Shang Palace and the study room; in order to have fun, he even found all kinds of reasons to escape the sutra feast for the emperor, and later even the early dynasty was unwilling to go up, which opened a bad start for the long-term boycott of jiajing and the second emperor of Wanli.
As the king of a country, Emperor Mingwuzong did everything he did was the result of willfulness. Just as the so-called near Zhu people are close to ink and black, Ming Wuzong has regarded the eunuch Liu Jin as a playmate since he was a child. You must know that Liu Jin is also one of the top ten treacherous eunuchs in China. With such a person all day, can Wuzong not "learn badly"? The new emperor became more and more fond of fun, so much so that it reached the point of outrageous. First of all, many shops were built in the palace to imitate the appearance of the street market, so that the eunuchs disguised themselves as bosses and people, and Wuzong disguised himself as rich merchants to have fun in them.
The harem was in a miasma, but the ministers of the current dynasty were anxious, and because the politics during the Hongzhi period were still relatively clear, they left a very upright and honest group of ministers for Emperor Wuzong, who disregarded their lives and jointly wrote a letter requesting severe punishment of the Eight Tigers. Emperor Wuzong had just ascended the throne, and he still lacked the ability to control the group of ministers, and seeing such a huge advance, some of them could not support it, and wanted to compromise with the group of ministers and get rid of the Eight Tigers.
However, just as the thousand hooks were fired, the scheming Liu Jin cried tearfully in front of the emperor and made Emperor Wuzong's heart soften again, and the next day he punished the ministers who first entered the court, and the cabinet members Xie Qian and Liu Jian threatened to tell the old people to return to their hometowns, and they were gladly approved by Emperor Wuzong, and the group of ministers lost their leader and had to give up. In this way, a campaign against the Eight Tigers ended in the final victory of the Eight Tigers.
After defeating the group of subjects, the Eight Tigers became more arrogant and more arrogant. Liu Jin also built a leopard room, which contained many musicians and beautiful women for Wuzong to play day and night, and Wuzong played more unscrupulously.
In 1517, Emperor Wuzong assumed the pseudonym Zhu Shou (朱寿), the governor of the military affairs and mighty general, and led 10,000 soldiers to Xuanfu. Unexpectedly, the little prince of Tatars knocked on the pass and led an army of 50,000 to the south to harass. On a whim, he personally led his troops to Yingzhou to meet the battle. At this time, the little prince had already retreated, but he oversaw the army in a desperate pursuit, and engaged the small unit of the little prince, killing 16 soldiers of the other side, but hundreds of people were killed and wounded, and Emperor Wuzong also thought that he had won a great victory, ordered the golden drum to sound in unison, triumphantly returned to Beijing, and said to the hundred officials in a vivid spirit: "Shuo personally killed an enemy soldier on the front line, does Qing and so on know?" He also ordered the officials to appoint Zhu Shou as a taishi, and ordered the ministry of ceremonies to send Zhu Shou to the outskirts of Beijing and Shandong to inspect.
Due to the abandonment of the government and the displacement of a large number of people, a turmoil is brewing, and the initiator of this turmoil is not the people, but from the Ming dynasty royal family. This man was Zhu Chenhao, the King of Ning, who vainly attempted to emulate the Yongle Emperor, took advantage of Emperor Wuzong's absurdity in political affairs, secretly prepared a rebellion, and pulled the flag to rebel in the fourteenth year of Zhengde.
Emperor Wuzong was not in a hurry because of this, which gave him the opportunity to tour the south, so he raised the banner of the mighty general Zhu Shou and led his troops to go out, but who knew that by the halfway point, the imperial envoy Wang Shouren had already quelled the rebellion. This news did not diminish Emperor Wuzong's interest in the slightest, and he single-handedly directed a farce, he re-released Zhu Chenhao, personally captured him again, and then held a celebration feast to celebrate his victory in counterinsurgency.
After that, he stayed in Jiangnan to have fun, one day, Wuzong personally drove a fishing boat on the river to fish, played arose, accidentally fell into the river and almost drowned, left and right to rescue him, because it was already September weather, the river water was cold, since then began to get sick, the disease has never gotten better. A few months later, Wuzong fell ill and died in the leopard room, ending his absurd life.
