As we all know, after the change of Tumu Fort, Zhu Qiyu was appointed in danger and became the emperor of Daming for eight years, turning the Ming Dynasty into a safe place. However, after he was emperor for eight years, the imperial throne was easily overthrown by Zhu Qizhen, and finally even the imperial tombs after the Ming Dynasty moved the capital, the Ming Tombs. But why?
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zhu Qiyu succeeded to the throne</h1>
Zhu Qiyu succeeded to the throne after the change of Tumu Fort, after Zhu Qizhen was captured, Empress Sun and the ministers formally invited Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne in order to avoid the suspicion of the lord and the country, please note that Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne was not his original intention at the beginning. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne is in line with the formal process, the ancient emperor ascended the throne, mostly the last will of a previous emperor is subject, if there is a change, the empress dowager's will is also one of the formal references.
And Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne, first of all, was a sudden incident, because Zhu Qizhen was captured, the country had no monarch, and it was easy for foreign enemies to be jealous and cause national turmoil and turmoil. Although Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen was already the supreme prince, at the time of the civil change, Zhu Jianshen was only two years old at the time, and letting a two-year-old child ascend the throne under the condition of being surrounded by foreign enemies basically sent the Ming Dynasty to the road of death. Therefore, the chancellor and Empress Sun decided to let Zhu Qiyu, the overseer at the time, ascend the throne.
Moreover, it was Empress Sun herself who issued the explicit will, and the "History of Ming" records that the king of Qi is the emperor's throne, and he is honored as the Emperor Taishang. But why was it that the throne, which had been justified, was overthrown so easily in the end? This is because when Empress Sun agreed to Zhu Qiyu's appointment as emperor, there were other conditions: "Records of Emperor Mingying Zongrui": The eunuch Jin Yingchuan, who was under the holy will of the empress dowager, was the eldest son of Emperor Shu of the present Emperor Shu as the crown prince. That is to say, although she agreed to Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne, she asked Zhu Qiyu to return the emperor to her grandson Zhu Jianshen when he passed away. In this way, it laid the groundwork for the later change of door grabbing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zhu Qiyu did not want to welcome back Zhu Qi town</h1>
After Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, many ministers often said that they would bring Back Zhu Qizhen. However, this made Zhu Qiyu depressed, this emperor originally did not want to be, as a result, everyone told him to let him focus on the overall situation, and as a result, people were responsible, and it was quite good. Not only did he support Yu Qian in winning the defense war against Beijing, but he also managed Daming in an orderly manner, and the people had adapted to the emperor's life with great difficulty, and they had been working diligently.
However, the ministers often mentioned Zhu Qizhen to him, and Empress Sun also sent clothes to Zhu Qizhen in the open and secret, and from time to time she also came to talk to him. But after a long reign on the throne, who wants to surrender power to others? However, in desperation, I had to agree. However, Zhu Qiyu's attitude of not wanting to welcome back Zhu Qizhen made the KOREAN and Chinese officials dissatisfied. The ancients paid attention to: brothers, friends and brothers, and attached great importance to "filial piety", and Zhu Qiyu's move was obviously contrary to this purpose.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zhu Qiyu imprisoned Zhu Qi town</h1>
However, after all, the emperor was not able to make his own decisions completely, plus Zhu Qizhen was his own brother after all, and the relationship between the two was still very good before, and Zhu Qiyu agreed to take Zhu Qizhen back.
However, after Zhu Qizhen was taken back, Although Zhu Qiyu played a deep brotherhood when he first returned. However, later, Zhu Qiyu imprisoned Zhu Qizhen, and in order to avoid collusion with the outside world, he even cut down all the trees in the place where Zhu Qizhen lived. Equivalently, Zhu Qizhen went from the prison of Vala to another cage. Zhu Qiyu, who originally refused to take back Zhu Qizhen, had already caused dissatisfaction among the courtiers and imprisoned him, which made people even more dissatisfied with him, especially Empress Sun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zhu Qiyu deposed Zhu Qizhen's son as crown prince</h1>
However, what really made people completely rebel against Zhu Qiyu was that Zhu Qiyu deposed Zhu Jianshen's position as crown prince. As mentioned above, before Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, the reason why Empress Sun was willing to express her will and support Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne was that Zhu Qiyu's throne, after a hundred years, must pass the throne to Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen. However, Zhu Qiyu deposed Zhu Jianshen as crown prince and established his own son as crown prince. Doing so can be said to have violated Empress Sun's great taboo.
History is always unexpected, Zhu Qiyu painstakingly, under pressure, set up his own son as the crown prince, the result? Not long after his son was made crown prince, he died tragically. As soon as this matter came out, the dprk began to circulate that the death of the crown prince was caused by Zhu Qiyu's bad feelings for Zhu Qizhen and the fact that the other crown prince did not keep his promise, and the officials' views on Zhu Qiyu were even worse.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill</h1>
History seems to be really joking with Zhu Qiyu, who has not had any heirs for several years after the death of his son. Gradually, the death of the prince also began to cast a shadow in his psyche, and Zhu Qiyu, who was under excessive psychological pressure, became seriously ill and could not go to the court for a long time, until one day, his seriously ill appearance was seen by an official.
And this official still did not support him in imprisoning Zhu Qizhen and deposing Zhu Jianshen's people. Zhu Qiyu's appearance was seriously ill. Giving this official confidence, he began to contact the courtiers and together they asked Empress Sun for advice to restore Zhu Qizhen as emperor. Empress Sun had long been dissatisfied with Zhu Qiyu, and even gave them the will to support the restoration of Zhu Qizhen. In the "History of Ming", "Shi Heng plotted to seize the door, secretly confessed to the empress dowager, Xu Zhi", which fully explains the role of Empress Sun in this matter.
Zhu Qizhen's restoration was very easy, in large part because Empress Sun had previously agreed with Zhu Qiyu that it must be passed on to Zhu Jianshen, giving the world's ministers a signal that Zhu Qiyu's succession was justified. However, he was only replacing Zhu Qizhen as emperor, and the inheritance of the throne was still in Zhuqi Town.
However, Zhu Qiyu deposed Zhu Jianshen, so that the ministers of the world thought that as the king of a country, he had broken his promises, even violated the will of the empress, did not talk about credibility, and did not talk about filial piety. Combined with his seven years of confinement in Zhu Qi Town, this made the officials dissatisfied. In the ancient society of heavy etiquette and talking about "five luns", Zhu Qiyu's practice was basically digging his own grave. Therefore, after his death, he did not enter the Ming Tombs, and was given the title of "戾", not even the emperor's temple number, at that time, no one objected. After all, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were the ones that the emperor dared to scold, and not refuting it meant accepting the matter. If the empress dowager opposes and the courtiers oppose, the reinstatement of Zhu Qizhen will be logical, and Zhu Qiyu will be overthrown so easily.
