The leader of the Ming Emperors - Jiajing

The leader of the Ming Emperors - Jiajing

Compared with other emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing Emperor was more fortunate, he ascended the throne completely by luck, or that Jiajing's ascension to the throne was the result of natural success, the Zhengde Emperor died of illness and had no heirs after his death, so the selection of heirs had to be selected from among the relatively close princes of the domain, after consultation with the courtiers and the empress, a small child was selected to become the emperor, in fact, this is more difficult to accept, or that the first assistant can be a few more years, anyway, The Xingwang Shizi accepted the summons to enter the palace, He became the new Emperor of Daming, with the era name Jiajing, and in that year, Jiajing was only 12 years old.

In fact, there were many contradictions at the beginning, and the ministers did not know in what capacity he would inherit the position of emperor, the prince? No, he and Zhu Houzhao are of the same generation, the emperor's younger brother? This is also not true. In short, the two sides are constantly facing each other outside the imperial city, of course, in the end, it is only the ministers and the empress dowager who bow their heads, because the emperor is absolutely impossible to bow his head, since the ancient monarchical power was divinely granted, except for the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the other emperors not only wanted to maintain their own supreme dignity and status, other ministers also needed to maintain the authority and dignity of the emperor. Subsequently, more questions continued to arise, followed by temple numbers, mausoleums, and who should be called father by Xingwang Shizi, which was actually a question that Jiajing was particularly concerned about, and for this reason, a considerable amount of monarchy conflict broke out with the courtiers

For three years, the policy adopted by the Jiajing Emperor was that if you did not agree, I also refused to cooperate with the courtiers, and in the end, the problem of the imperial examination ended with the victory of Jiajing, after all, he was the emperor, the true son of the entire Ming Dynasty, and King Xing also had the title of emperor in the Zongmiao Temple, and this was the beginning of the confrontation between the Jiajing Emperor and the courtiers. Of course, he first borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and the masses of civil servants supported him to become emperor of Daming, and as soon as he took office, he first killed Jiang Bin, Channing, and other zhu Houzhao's henchmen one by one. After that? What can he do as a teenage child, but he wants to give his father a name, and then he can only grow up slowly under the guidance of the empress dowager, shoufu, after a few years of pro-government, he is obviously very different from Zhu Houzhao, I think this is also the reason why the Jiajing Emperor can power the opposition for many years, he knows very well where the bottom line of those courtiers is, although the two sides are constantly fighting, it is still within the controllable range, there has not been anything that exceeds the bottom line, the Jiajing Emperor is well versed in the way of the king, He also personally promoted his confidants Yan Song and Wen Chen to fight in the ring, so that although there were many parties in the court, the Jiajing Emperor could maneuver in the deep palace, enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, and even control the situation easily without personally interfering with mediation, which was lacking in all the emperors of the late Ming Dynasty. Although the cabinet chief auxiliary has very high powers, but can not directly control the six ministries of the DPRK, plus the cabinet university scholar is not only one person, so although Yan Song's power structure in the DPRK is complex and huge, but it can not be a single family, like Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, are all officials who entered the DPRK at this time, it is really conceivable that the chess of the DPRK government, Jiajing thinks that he can fully grasp it, the most important point is that he is the emperor, his own position is very special, he still firmly holds the financial power, and there is more internal supervision and assistance. Therefore, although Jiajing lived in the palace for decades, he could still control the courtiers, and finally effortlessly made Yan Song obediently die.

[Jiajing The leader of the Ming Emperor - Jiajing] This is enough to prove that the Ming Emperor actually has very great power, even if he ascends the throne at a young age, there are also internal guards and Jinyi guards who swear allegiance to the death, and do not underestimate the eunuchs, in fact, they have the very powerful army of the Imperial Horse Guards, in the case of seriously low combat effectiveness in the late Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Horse Guards are an important armed force to protect the Emperor, and can also be used as a sharp blade for the Emperor at any time, not to mention the Jinyi Guards and the East Factory, and the vast majority of eunuchs can only swear allegiance to the Emperor , this is actually due to identity and fate.
