After the death of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Mingying succeeded Zhu Qizhen to the throne, only eight years old, fortunately, his father left him a lot of sages to assist, such as the original Sanyang cabinet was all retained. That was Zhu Qiyu was made the King of Qi by his brother Zhu Qizhen, but he was not allowed to take his own domain, and he remained in Beijing all the time, and the relationship between the two brothers was very good. Zhu Qizhen was a legendary emperor, in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, the only emperor who ascended the throne twice, during the first time as emperor, he favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, and just happened to encounter the death of the assistant cabinet members left by Ming Xuanzong, retiring, and he completely released himself.
The Ming Dynasty had a cabinet, and the Qing Dynasty had a study room and a military aircraft office. But the rights of the emperors of these two dynasties were completely different. During the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's imperial power was concentrated. During the Ming Dynasty, the struggle between imperial power and power eventually evolved into a struggle between the emperor and the cabinet. That is to say, in the Ming Dynasty, there can be no emperor, but there can be no cabinet. The Qing Dynasty could not go to the study of military aircraft, but it could not do without the emperor.
The reign of Emperor Ming Yingzong can be divided into two periods: before the change of Tumu Fort and after the restoration of the change of the gate. Emperor Ming Yingzong was only nine years old at the beginning of his reign, so the power of the dynasty was basically in the hands of Empress Dowager Zhang (Empress Chengxiaozhao), who appointed old ministers and courtiers during the mingrenzong and Ming Xuanzong periods, and empress dowager Zhang did not interfere too much and strictly managed foreign relatives, and the rule of this period was still quite prosperous.
After some comparison, it is actually obvious that Zhu Qiyu is actually better than Zhu Qizhen in governing the country. It can be said that during Zhu Qiyu's reign, he purged the castration party forces internally, selected the best and the most capable, ruled the officials clearly, and stabilized the people's hearts. Externally, it repelled the tiger-eyed Walla, rationally suppressed the uprisings of some ethnic minorities on the border at that time, and the country's strength was thriving, and the Ming Dynasty, which was pushed to the brink of extinction by Ming Yingzong, was pulled back to the lifeline. Although Emperor Ming of the Ming Dynasty tasted the taste of power and had selfish intentions to change his son as the crown prince, hoping that the throne would be passed on in his own vein, his merits could not be indelible.
Of course, after the restoration of Emperor Yingzong of Ming, either because of experience, or because of a series of events such as military defeat, capture, and house arrest, Zhu Qizhen matured, and after the restoration, he began to appoint sages, quell the rebellion, abolish martyrdom, and other virtuous deeds. In general, Zhu Qizhen's ability to govern the country was inferior to Zhu Qiyu's.
