Emperor Xiaozong of Ming was generous and frugal throughout his life, diligent in government affairs, far from sound, and was known as a generation of sages. His son, Zhu Houzhao, was the complete opposite of him. Zhu Houzhao was bright from an early age and learned what would happen. But he did not use his wisdom on the right path, Zhu Houzhao not only played wildly himself, but also kissed villains and was a big stubborn lord. In this article, I will share with you what absurd things Zhu Houzhao has done.
Emperor Mingxiaozong Zhu Youfan
The Ming Emperor's surname was Zhu, and Zhu Houzhao was still a pig, so Zhu Houzhao suddenly issued a holy decree in Zhengde in 14 years, prohibiting folk pig breeding.
This holy decree made the people unhappy, and many domestic pig farmers even threw pigs into the river. Normally speaking, after Zhu Houzhao gave this holy decree, he himself should lead by example.
However, in fact, Zhu Houzhao only allowed the governor to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps.
In the wave of banning pigs in the country, Zhu Houzhao "still uses pigs in the internal batch", that is, Zhu Houzhao is still eating pork. It was also Zhu Houzhao himself who failed to lead by example, so after the courtiers entered the speech, Zhu Houzhao abolished the previous holy will after three months of banning pigs in the country.

Zhu Houzhao has an absurd quirk - he likes to receive righteous sons.
Zhu Houzhao was only fifteen years old when he succeeded to the throne, so he had a heavy heart. The eunuch Liu Jin threw in his favor and collected many eagle dogs, birds and beasts for Zhu Houzhao. Later, in order to place these interesting things, Zhu Houzhao built a two-hundred-room palace outside the palace, which is the famous "leopard room" in history.

When building the leopard house, Channing contributed a lot, and with Channing's strong hands, Zhu Houzhao adopted him as a righteous son.
If Zhu Houzhao only received one or even a few nominal sons, he would have received one hundred and twenty-seven righteous sons one after another. This is also a very rare thing in the history of China.

There is some claim that Zhu Houzhao's move was to suppress the cabinet, but there is no definite evidence. However, although many of Zhu Houzhao's actions were absurd, the history books praised him as a bright lord.
The "History of Ming" praises: Since the Ming Dynasty, the country has been weakened. Emperor Yi's hand removed the reverse Jin, bowed to the imperial side, and desperately wanted to use martial arts to strengthen himself. However, he was happy to swim, and the group was small, and the number of self-signed officials was completely destroyed. It is fortunate to use the handle of man to handle itself, and the Bingjun ministers to make up for Tho Kuang's salvation is based on the disorder of the dynasty, rather than the bottom of the danger. If the legacy of Emperor Xiaozong is inherited, the moderation is prudent, and there is the exercise of the Lord, then the name of Guotai will be completed, and it will be the most important for posterity!
