Emperor Mingxianzong Zhu Jianshen was a controversial figure in history. Curiously, in the past, many people thought that he was an immoral and incompetent, and even suffered from a serious "motherly fetish". But now, many people think that he has done a lot of merit, even surpassing the Qin Emperor Han Wu.
Such an extreme evaluation, saying that the public is justified, makes people feel that they are in the clouds and fog, and they don't know what to do. Simu believes that the real Ming Xianzong in history is not as good as many people think, nor as bad as many people think, and we can only avoid extreme evaluations of him to see his true face of Lushan.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > credit: not as good as you might think</h1>
Emperor Mingxianzong Zhu Jianshen reigned for a total of twenty-three years, and from the perspective of time, he was roughly credited first and his faults were later, so we might as well start with his merits in the order of precedence.
When it comes to Zhu Jianshen's merits, some people will say that at the beginning of his reign, he quelled the "uprising" of the Yao people in Datengxia, Guangxi. As everyone knows, it was not until the eighth year of Chenghua that this "uprising" of the Yaomin people in Guangxi, centered on the Broken Vine Gorge, was basically quelled.
Ming Xianzong Zhu saw deep stills
In the end, Zhu Jianshen accepted the lesson of being too hasty, set out to improve the governance of this area from a system point of view, and adopted the methods of "taming and destroying with yi", managing local officials, and miscellaneous use of displaced officials, so that this area could be stabilized. This policy has long been proposed, but the Ming government initially ignored it.
It is also said that Zhu Jianshen set up the prefect of Yunyang and resettled the displaced people in the Jingxiang area. However, few people may know that this was a passive choice made after twelve years after his two large-scale conquests.
Also, have you ever wondered how these thousands of displaced people came about? Why, under his rule, many people chose to go to this area to compete for displaced people instead of having a good life? Mo Fei...
It is also said that Zhu Jianshen recovered the Loop. However, few people know that when Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, the development of the entire Mongol tribe was in a downturn, the Civil Unrest in The Wallachia, and the Tatars were not yet fully developed and strong. The so-called "tao" are just some of the Tatar tribes that winter in the Loop.
Finally, some people want to talk about the "Chenghua Plough Garden". Shi Zai's incident occurred in the third year of Chenghua, when Zhu Jianshen ordered the jurchens to enter Jianzhou and issue an order to "suppress their nests and exterminate their species." After a month of encirclement and suppression, the Ming army beheaded more than 630 people and captured more than 240 people.
This battle really dealt a heavy blow to the Jurchens of Jianzhou and gained a hundred years of peace for the consolidation of the Ming Dynasty. However, then again, Zhu Jianshen first used conspiracy tactics to trick Dong Shan and other leaders into the capital, and then secretly organized an army to go and kill them, and also sent North Korea to support. Is this battle still going to be fought? Where is the room for the Jianzhou Jurchen to fight back?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > behind the fainting: not as bad as you might think</h1>
When it comes to Zhu Jianshen's fainting, many people's first reaction is that he and Wan Guifei did things: he fell in love with a woman who was more than ten years older than him. If the people at that time could not understand, it would be even if they lived in the present, if they could not understand it, this IQ might be worrying.
Stills of Wan Guifei
Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen was a special existence. When his position as crown prince was abolished, he was helpless, and even his life was in danger, only Wan Guifei was always by his side and never abandoned. So what is the fault of Zhu Mishen for her to develop from gratitude to love?
Another point is that many people say that there is a problem with Wan Guifei's private morality, but these doubts are only doubts, and there seems to be a lack of reliable evidence. Moreover, if we look at her life, she does not seem to have done much that obviously affected the safety of the Ming Dynasty.
Immediately, some people said that the West Factory was gone, and when they said West Factory, we might as well talk about Wang Zhi. Many thought he was one of the most reputable eunuchs. As everyone knows, although the West Factory has existed for nearly six years, the real active period is actually less than a year, and the targets are mainly some members who are not economically clean.
In addition, in the fifteenth year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi supervised the army and defeated the Jianzhou Jurchen. In the sixteenth year of Chenghua, the Tatars once again sent an army into Hetao, and Wang Zhi supervised the army, and once again won a great victory. In the eighteenth year of Chenghua, Yu Kou entered Yansui, and Wang Zhiwang divided his troops to resist and won a great victory.
In the twentieth year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi was transferred to the Nanjing Imperial Horse Supervisor because of a mistake, Xu Ning and others passively resisted, and as a result, they were caught in the little prince's strategy of enticing troops, and the Ming army killed and wounded thousands of people, and almost lost Datong. It seems that even Wang Zhi, a bad eunuch in people's hearts, has merit and merit, and cannot be summed up in a word.
Wang Zhi stills
Finally, it is also said that in the later period of his reign, Zhu Jianshen was partial to the monastic way, indulged in fangshu, and internally approved officials, but most of these officials did not participate in the government except for Li Zi Province, although they disrupted the procedures for appointing officials and had a limited impact on domestic and foreign affairs. The opening of the imperial palace and the pursuit of enjoyment were not enough to cause turmoil in the country at that time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > circumvent extreme: a real emperor</h1>
Zhu Jianshen was credited, in terms of civil unrest, after all, he quelled the successive rebellions that broke out within the Ming Dynasty, first the Yao people rebellion in the Broken Vine Gorge, then the displaced people rebellion in the Jingxiang area, and of course, there were others.
In terms of external martial arts, he also made a lot of achievements, and dealt a heavy blow to Mongolia and Jurchen. Zhu Jianshen dealt a heavy blow to the Jurchens of Jianzhou, and it can even be said that he gained a hundred years of peace for the consolidation of daming rivers and mountains.
Nevertheless, considering the specific circumstances at that time, we cannot conclude that his merits exceeded those of the Qin Emperor Han Wu. This is an over-the-top reputation. To some extent, we can only say that he guaranteed the internal and external stability of the Ming Dynasty for a period of time.
Zhu Jianshen was at fault, he favored Wan Guifei alone, and her father and three brothers were waiting for an opportunity to amass wealth. At the same time, the eunuchs in the palace also tried their best to cater to her, and many of the paralysis of the Chenghua dynasty, such as the procurement of envoys and the harsh collection of people's wealth, I am afraid that it cannot be said that they have nothing to do with her at all.
In his later years, Zhu Jianshen indulged in monasticism, believed in alchemy, and pursued immortality, which was also criticized by people. Although Zhu Jianshen did lose money in his private morality, Zhu Jianshen once rehabilitated Yu Qian and won the hearts of the people, and he restored Zhu Qiyu's honorific title with virtue and resentment.
Therefore, when talking about the relocation of "Guo Yu", on the one hand, he believed that Zhu Jianshen could not cover up the "loss of morality" for Zhu Jianshen, and on the other hand, he believed that Zhu Jianshen "did not suffer any major damage in quanzhao". It is even said to be "The Flaw of Ubi, The Flaw of Uzuma, The Emperor of Uzu!" "
The "History of Ming" also divides Zhu Jianshen's evaluation into two, on the one hand, it is said that Zhu Jianshen "restored the degree of a human being", "devoted to renren", and "gave the province punishment". On the one hand, it is said that Zhu Jianshen "appointed Wang Zhi and the West Factory was arbitrary" and that "the calamity of the women's temple is inherently terrible."
In this way, Zhu Jianshen is like many emperors in history: he has an excellent side and a bad side. Therefore, there is no need for us to lift him up to heaven because he has merit, nor is there any need to send him to the eighteenth level of hell because of his faults. In fact, only by circumventing these extreme evaluations can we see a more authentic Zhu Jianshen. Some people say that a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and I don't know what Zhu Jianshen looks like in everyone's heart? Four woods throw bricks and jade here, hoping that interested friends can express their opinions and communicate more.
