author:Satoshi Oda

In 1518, on the playground inside the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty. A young man in his twenties, with a handsome white face and a strong physique. This man is agile, jumping around, and is circling with a big tiger with a hanging eye.

The king of the hundred beasts roared and flicked his tail, rushing around, and although he had the will to devour, he was dodged by the young people. When he wiped his body, this slender waist and beautiful little master, his whole body spun around, kicked a side kick, and kicked the tiger's throat, kicking the big guy out of the way, wailing. Onlookers shouted "Hooray" in unison.

This grandfather was not a juggler in the palace, let alone a gladiator-like orc like the gladiators of ancient Rome, but Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The Strange Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the real "is to play" of the Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao

Zhu Houzhao, who succeeded to the throne at the age of fifteen, was the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His father was Emperor Xiaozong of Ming's reign, Zhu Youfan (朱佑樘), and his mother was Empress Zhang. Emperor Xiaozong and Zhang's husband and wife are very rare in history. Emperor Mingxiaozong had few sons due to his bad looks. In addition to Zhu Houzhao, there was also a son, Zhu Houwei, who died of illness when he was three years old. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao is a successor of "Root Zheng Miao Hong".

Confidant Mo Ruo's father, When Emperor Xiaozong was dying, he summoned the three scholars Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian to the Qianqing Palace. Tuo Gu said, "The prince is young, good Yile, Ai Qing and other teachers should read and guide him to become a Dao Ming jun." It can be seen that he has always been worried about his young son, but he is slightly relieved that zhengchen is in the dynasty, and he feels that after his son succeeds to the throne, there are ministers who are kuangzheng and should be able to learn well. However, this son is not very contentious.

Zhu Houzhao was not very fond of the chancellor arranged by his father, but he was very fond of two other "mentors", namely the eunuch Liu Jin and the chancellor Jiang Bin.

Liu Jin, in order to please Emperor Wuzong, offered eagle dogs, songs and dances, horns and other dramas every day. The young Wuzong could not resist the temptation of these things, so he indulged in them. Later, he was asked to build a leopard house, which made Wuzong indulge in female sex all day long. During this period, they also built many shops in the palace imitating the appearance of the street market, so that eunuchs could pretend to be bosses and people, and Wuzong would pretend to be rich merchants and have fun in them. In the first month of the ninth year of Zhengde (1514), the Qianqing Palace caught fire due to playing with lights, and Wuzong zheng went to the leopard room, looked back at the fire, and even laughed and laughed about a big firework.

The eunuch escaped the joint petition of the incorruptible ministers of the dprk, but ignored the power struggle within the eunuch, and eventually died at the hands of another eunuch, Zhang Yong.

Jiang Bin, originally a border general, Xiao Yong is abnormal. Later, he was discovered by Emperor Wuzong and became increasingly favored, and gave him the surname of the country and accepted him as a righteous child.

In the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing army and the border army were not allowed to interact with each other. Because if the border army is weak, the Mongols will invade; if the Beijing army is weak, the border army will become a scourge, which is a system for the sake of strengthening imperial power. However, in order to prevent another courtier, Qian Ning, from harming him because of the competition for favors, Jiang Bin persuaded Emperor Wuzong to exchange the border army with the Beijing army, because he had been a member of the border army and had his own colleagues in the army. In the end, Emperor Wuzong ignored the fierce opposition of his ministers and broke the ancestral system to send border troops into Beijing.

Later, Jiang Bin encouraged Emperor Wuzong to leave the capital and travel to the northwest. Emperor Wuzong even established the "Zhenguo Mansion" in the northwest, changed his name to Zhu Shou, and crowned himself as the "Duke of Zhenguo", so that the military department was archived and the household department sounded. In ancient times, Emperor Wuzong was the first and last to surrender himself and claim his subjectship. It can be seen that he regards state affairs and government affairs as a child's play.

In September of the fifteenth year of Zhengde, Wuzong passed through Qingjiangpu, saw the beautiful scenery on the water, the fish flew shallow bottom, and suddenly became a fisherman, so he drove a small boat to fish and play. As a result, when lifting the net, he saw many fish, and Wuzong was very happy, and he tried his best to drag, causing the hull to lose its balance, and he himself fell into the water. Ming Wuzong grew up in Beijing, did not know how to swim, after entering the water, his hands were in a mess, a flurry of chaos, although the relatives rescued him, but the water choked into the lungs, coupled with panic and panic, the body deteriorated. It is also possible that he was frightened, coupled with an autumn cold, which caused pneumonia.

In March of the sixteenth year of Zhengde (1521), the thirty-one-year-old Wuzong died in the leopard house.

After Emperor Wuzong's death, the empress dowager ordered Jiang Bin to be arrested, and soon Jiang Bin was executed by raiding his home.
