Emperor Mingmuzong Longqing Zhu Zaiyu (hòu), the twelfth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, born in the sixteenth year of Jiajing (1537), was the son of Emperor Ming and Princess Du Kang, and his mother Princess Du Kang fell out of favor and was not the eldest son, and rarely received father's love.
Young Yu Wang
In February of the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539), he was crowned king of Yu, and was crowned on the same day as Prince ZhuangJing and King Jinggong. Soon after, Prince Zhuangjing died, and Sejong was made the heir to the throne because of King Yu's old age and talent, but suspicion inside and outside the court was often discussed, so Sejong ordered King Yu to go to the fiefdom. Zhu Zaiyuan, who had just turned 16 years old, lived in the residence of King Yu for 13 years, which brought Zhu Zaiyuan more contact with all aspects of social life and learned about the various contradictions and crises of the Ming Dynasty, especially the dictatorship of Yan Song, the decadence of the dynasty, the corruption of officials, the suffering of the "southern and northern enemies", the suffering of the people's unhappiness, and internal and external troubles made him more concerned about the situation of the dynasty.
Become a Crown Prince
Originally, he could have been at ease as a prince, but his fate was always unpredictable, and his two eldest brothers died early, and he became the crown prince. He eventually ascended the throne as emperor. As a prince, he was able to understand more about the sufferings of the people than ordinary people and the people in the palace, more about the shortcomings of the times, and had a clearer understanding of Yan Song's chaotic government and external worries and internal troubles, which had a great impact on his actions after he ascended the throne.
Implement the New Deal
In December of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing (1566), Emperor Mingshizong died, and Zhu Zaiyuan, the King of Yu, took the throne and changed his name to Yuan Longqing as Emperor Mingmuzong. Emperor Mingmuzong immediately corrected his father's maladministration, and all the ministers who had previously been convicted of the crime were summoned, and after the deceased ministers were compensated and hired, all the alchemists were paid for the crime, and all the previous Taoist rituals were stopped, and half of the following year's Tian Fu and all the arrears of Jiajing before forty-three years were exempted; It also stopped the ceremony that Emperor Mingshizong had imposed on Bo Xiaoming (i.e., Emperor Mingshizong's father Xingxian Wang) mingtang (that is, the autumn sacrifice of heaven, to be sacrificed to the father of the reigning emperor, which led to the change of the temple number of Emperor Ming Taizong to Ming Chengzu).
The Change of Gengji
During Zhu Zaiyuan's reign, the "Gengzhi Revolution" occurred, which was another large-scale Invasion of the Mongols. The Mongol cavalry marched from the direction of Shanxi, and the Barbarian troops advanced into Beijing from the direction of Lulong and Luanhe, and the Longqing Emperor quickly dispatched the border troops to abandon the defensive ground and enter the Weijing Division. However, the Mongols did not attack Beijing, but only plundered and returned, but this incident also really frightened the Longqing Emperor, and from then on he was more concerned about the northern border defense, and then transferred Qi Jiguang, Wang Chonggu, and Tan Lun to strengthen the defense along the Great Wall, and at the same time carried out mutual market trade, so that the northern Han and Mongolian people had a stable living environment. There was a rare historical peace and tranquility on the northern frontier, and there has been no large-scale Mongol invasion since then. During the Longqing period, these deeds exceeded those of the previous dynasty.

Switch negotiation and peace
Reusing Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Gao Gong and other cabinet assistant ministers, he devoted himself to solving the problem of "Southern Wu and Northern Prisoners" that had plagued the korean situation for many years, adopted the suggestions of the cabinet universities Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and agreed to make peace with the Mongolian Li, which was for Longqing to negotiate peace, and had a tribute to The Emperor. In the first year of Longqing (1567), Emperor Ming muzong announced the abolition of the sea ban and allowed private traders to sell the East and West eryang, known in history as the Longqing Switch. The Longqing New Deal was the Chengping period that occurred during the reign of Emperor Mingmuzong. Ming Muzong practiced frugality and credited the cabinet assistant ministers, and did not restrain them, but he could not stop the tilt between the cabinet assistants, which was also related to his own benevolent and mediocre character.
Died of female color
Muzong was equally indulgent to many emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Due to excessive indulgence and long-term use of aphrodisiacs, his body deteriorated in a few years and was difficult to support. In the leap March of the sixth year of Longqing (1572), the news came from the palace that Zhu Zaiyuan was critically ill. After recuperating for two months, he went up to the court again, but he was suddenly dizzy and dizzy, and he could not support it and returned to the palace. Knowing that his illness was not mild, he urgently summoned Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Yi to accept Gu's orders, and ordered that the crown prince succeed him, and then died of illness in the Qianqing Palace. At the age of six Chinese New Year's Eve, he was later honored as Emperor Zhuang and buried in the ZhaoLing Tomb in Changping, Beijing.
appraise
In his life, there is basically nothing worth writing about. His only hobby is women, and his greatest strength is his incompetence. In the second year of the Wanli Calendar (1574), Zhang Juzheng presided over the revision of the "Records of Muzong", and had a very high evaluation of Muzong, who had just passed away: "Shang (Muzong) ascended the throne, inherited it with generosity, practiced Xuanmo, did not lower the order and transported the world, and served as a subordinate minister, leading the general body, not being annoyed and harsh, doing nothing to be self-righteous, and being quiet and self-righteous, so within six years, Hai Nei was calm and self-righteous, called Taiping Tianziyun. Comparatively speaking, Muzong's personality was indeed the most humble of the emperors after Zhengde.
Before him, it was the Jiajing Emperor, who was obsessed with Taoism all day long and slightly perverted; He was followed by the Wanli Emperor who spent 30 years in extremism, world-weariness, and contempt for bureaucratic politics. Therefore, only the Mingjing and Generous Emperor Longqing gave the ministers enough space to display their ambitions. Longqing dynasty, only six years. However, in the meantime, there are many talents, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong, all of whom are heroes among people.
