In the history of ancient China, the Ming Dynasty was a rather interesting dynasty, whether it was the emperor or the chancellor of the dynasty, they all had extraordinary integrity. The Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years, with a total of sixteen emperors ruling the dynasty, and there are many stories of the popular population in each period. The change of Tumu Fort was a key event in the transformation of the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and Ming Yingzong chose to march on the imperial horse at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, who knew that they had become the target of the Mongols, and hundreds of thousands of troops were folded here. In addition to ordinary soldiers, many civilian and military generals died out, causing the Ming Dynasty to have a talent gap and never recover. After the Tumubao incident, there was a relatively large-scale turmoil in the capital, and it had to be mentioned that the minister Wang Zhu killed the jinyiwei commander when he was in charge.

Wang Hun has always had a heroic personality, although he is a reader, he has the personality of a warrior. After passing the examination, Wang Hu was arranged by the emperor to do the work of the household department, and the official position was not large but had real power, which was enough to show the emperor's appreciation for him. In the Ming Dynasty, the duties of giving affairs had many similarities with those of the imperial history, and they could impeach hundred officials and supervise the ministers of the imperial court, which was just right for a person with a personality like Wang Zhu. Wang Hu was quite satisfied with his work, whether it was a minister or a royal family, many people had been impeached by him. Of course, there was evidence to follow for everything that had been impeached by Wang Hu, otherwise the emperor would not have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

After the change of Tumu Fort, Ming Yingzong became a prisoner of the Wallachians, and although there was no fear of life for the time being, the humiliation caused by it was indelible. And Wang Zhen, as the chief culprit of this matter, even if he had already died in the Battle of Tumu fort, he must also be held jointly and severally responsible for his henchmen. After Emperor Mingyingzong was captured, Zhu Qiyu was in charge of the country, because he had never dealt with such a tricky matter before, so he could only sit in the main hall and let the courtiers be indignant. The ministers advocated the extermination of Wang Zhen's clan, and his subordinates could not let go, after all, it was a major crime that plagued the country, and it was far from enough to deal with one person alone. Of course, there were also people who opposed this matter, and for a while the two sides argued endlessly, and Zhu Qiyu did not know what to do.

Civil Fort

Seeing that the anger of the group of ministers was difficult to control, Jinyi Wei commanded Ma Toi to stand up and reprimand the group of ministers, which immediately angered Wang Hu. Wang Hu grabbed Ma Shun's hair in a hurry, and the other ministers also joined in the ranks of beating Ma Shun, and it didn't take long for him to be beaten to death. Of course, this Ma Shun bore the brunt of the attack, because he was Wang Zhen's henchman and had committed many evil deeds, even if he was not dealt with by the courtiers, he could not escape the punishment of the law. After Ma Shun was killed, Zhu Qiyu could no longer control his fear and wanted to flee, but Wang Hu said to him: "Mao Gui and Wang Changsu are also Wang Zhen's henchmen, and they must be executed to temporarily quell their grievances." Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to do so, and then the two were also killed by the indignant group of courtiers, which brought considerable shock and impact to Zhu Qiyu.

Since this incident, Wang Hu has since become famous in the war, and both the emperor's courtiers and the common people have been deeply impressed and jealous of him. After Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, Wang Hu was once again heavily used, and together with his colleagues, he took on the heavy rules of guarding the imperial city. In fact, although Wang Hu's various means were excessive, they were enough to reflect his loyalty and sense of responsibility for the country and the people, so that he could gain the trust of the emperor. During Zhu Qiyu's reign, floods occurred in Fengyang and other places, and many people were not only displaced but also hungry, and everyone looked forward to the early opening of the imperial court to release grain. Seeing that there were more and more hungry people without the will of the imperial court, Wang Hu could only privately take the initiative to release grain to the victims. In the laws of the Ming Dynasty, smuggling official grain was a major crime, but Wang Zhen only cared about the hungry people in his eyes, and never thought about his own life.

Flood disasters

After settling down the disaster-stricken refugees, Wang Hun took the initiative to impeach himself to the imperial court, but Zhu Qijue said: "Wang Hu is really a sage, saving hundreds of people in the Ming Dynasty. From then on, Zhu Qiyu valued him more and more, which should be the period when Wang Hu's reputation was at its peak. After the return of Emperor Mingyingzong, he successfully regained the throne, and Wang Hu was framed and demoted by Shi Heng and others, and only later returned to the Ming Dynasty. After Emperor Yingzong's death, Emperor Xianzong ascended the throne, and Wang Hu continued to do his best as always, but his personality did not meet the requirements of Emperor Mingxianzong, so he would end up resigning from the government and going into hiding.

Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen

For the Ming Dynasty at that time, in addition to the foreign enemies that were eyeing the tiger, the most important thing that should be dealt with was the internal contradictions of the imperial court, otherwise it was easy to affect the development of the situation. Wang Hu was a capable courtier, but there were many problems between him and the head of the cabinet, and even the officials he recommended were opposed by the cabinet, which was a big loss for the imperial court. All in all, the reason why Wang Hu was highly valued by the previous emperors was because of his iron-clad personality, and such a person was very suitable for imperial history. However, Emperor Mingxianzong did not like Wang Zhen, otherwise he would not have allowed him to resign.
