Zhu Yuanzhang is a grassroots emperor known to women and children in China, although he came from a humble background, he dared to resist and was a particularly excellent emperor in history. After the success of the uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang created the Ming Dynasty, and then the Ming Dynasty was inherited by the Zhu family for 276 years, during which a total of sixteen emperors appeared, and each emperor had a distinct personality.
The emperor was either a Emperor of the Ming Dynasty or a generation of Ming Jun, but to say that the most playful Emperor of the Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty was the Tenth Emperor Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao has been in power since he was a child, and many ministers have been obsessed with Zhu Houzhao, who is the crown prince, and after becoming emperor, he is even more absurd. However, although Zhu Houzhao was very absurd, he also did serious things for the country and the people.
Born in 1491, Zhu Houzhao was the first son of the emperor of the dynasty, and according to the hereditary system, he would be made crown prince and become the next emperor. And Zhu Houzhao's birth mother, Empress Zhang, was the emperor's favorite concubine, so Zhu Houzhao was deeply favored by the emperor from an early age.
When Zhu Houzhao was a child, he still loved to learn, and he was very accomplished in the emperor's mental skills and handling of major state affairs. Zhu Houzhao has a shocking skill, that is, he can almost never forget it, and he has made small achievements in learning. Although Zhu Houzhao's father, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, was an unremarkable emperor, seeing Zhu Houzhao so good made him crown prince when he was very young.
After Zhu Houzhao became the crown prince, more and more people began to offer flattery around him. At that time, the most powerful eunuchs in the imperial court were the eight eunuchs headed by Liu Jin, because these eight eunuchs were in charge of the affairs of the palace, large and small, and usually some officials would beg the eunuchs with relatively large powers in order to enter the palace, and the power of these eunuchs who came and went was getting bigger and bigger.
These eunuchs knew how to judge the hour and size up the situation, because the emperor was usually particularly fond of Zhu Houzhao and made him crown prince, so Liu Jin and others began to try their best to seduce Zhu Houzhao. The eunuchs invited those who sang and danced, and took some rare animals or objects to please Zhu Houzhao. Under the influence of the eunuchs, Zhu Houzhao began to become greedy for play, and his studies were abandoned.
In 1505, Zhu Houzhao, who was only 15 years old, took the throne and became emperor. Zhu Houzhao was still young, and Liu Jin, who was the closest to him, was even more rampant. Because Zhu Houzhao played all day when he was young, his personality became stubborn, and as an emperor, he obviously did not have the ability to manage a country, so he often asked Liu Jin.
After Liu Jin became the big red man next to Zhu Houzhao, in order to curry favor with Zhu Houzhao even more, he often did some things that harmed the people and hurt the people's wealth, causing the people to cry out, but Zhu Houzhao did not know about it.
In the harem created by Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao did not manage and care about the country's major and small affairs every day, and all of them were packed up and handed over to others to deal with.
In order to have better fun, Liu Jin even established a palace leopard palace in the imperial palace dedicated to sexual pleasure. In order to make Zhu Houzhao comfortable, Liu Jin often robbed the women of the people outside the palace, and then used his position to amass wealth. As Liu Jin became more and more arrogant, the other eunuchs also became more and more unaccustomed to him.
At the beginning, many honest ministers in the DPRK and China bluntly impeached Liu Jin, listed Liu Jin's various behaviors, and said that according to Liu Jin," the country would not be a general. However, Zhu Houzhao had been bombarded by Liu Jin with sugar-coated shells and had never implemented any measures against Liu Jin.
In the end, the other two eunuchs were favored in front of the emperor, so they exposed Liu Jin to the emperor for rebellion. Zhu Houzhao did not believe it, but under the pressure of the ministers, he went to Liu Jin's residence to search.
As a result, not only did countless real gold, silver and diamond jewelry were found in Liu Jin's home, but it was also found that the fan bone that Liu Jin used to fan you was a sharp weapon similar to a knife. After Zhu Houzhao returned, Liu Jin was suspended at that time, and the next day he was beheaded by the knife.
After Liu Jin's death, there was no one to zhang Luo for him, and Zhu Houzhao slowly became more and more convergent. Although Zhu Houzhao was not very popular with the dynasty, he always listened to the affairs of the imperial court and made decisions, so slowly Zhu Houzhao began to hope that he could do a big thing, but the purpose was not for the country and the people, but for fun.
In 1517, Zhu Houzhao had the opportunity to show his fists. In mongolia in the northern central plains, a prince sent troops to harass and had already invaded the interior of the Ming Dynasty. The border quickly reported the news to the imperial court, and many generals immediately decided to personally suppress it, but at this time, Zhu Houzhao actually said that he wanted to march in person.
As soon as this remark came out, the group of ministers immediately issued a large number of protests, disagreeing with Zhu Houzhao's personal command of the expedition. However, Zhu Houzhao ignored the persuasion of his subjects and immediately ordered the mobilization of 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and set out early the next morning. However, Zhu Houzhao was indeed greedy, passing through a place when he sent troops to attack the Mongolian soldiers, because a woman had been delayed here for three days.
Everyone knows that the soldiers are fast, and Zhu Houzhao's move brings his faintness to life. By the time Zhu Houzhao arrived at the battlefield with a large army, the local defenders were tired of responding to the enemy and were defeated and retreated by the Mongolian army.
Zhu Houzhao did not know how to lead troops to fight, still less did he know how to arrange troops, and after coming into contact with the Mongolian army, he understood the way and characteristics of the Mongolian army fought, and the other did not subdivide and plan the combat area. Therefore, the first thing Zhu Houzhao did when he arrived was to send a large army to directly confront the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army was originally famous for infantry and horse warfare, so the large army was directly suppressed when it pounced, and the Mongolian army directly divided the army into four parts, wanting to divide and eat it. However, at this time, Zhu Houzhao was impulsive and led a Janissary army into the battlefield.
Under Zhu Houzhao's rampage on the rules and regulations, he actually twisted and directly disrupted the deployment of the Mongolian army, and the fighters flew away, and the Mongolian army was defeated and fled back to Mongolia. Zhu Houzhao won a great victory and directly returned to the Dynasty on the triumphant class.
Less than two years after the good days, there was another prince who wanted to rebel, and Zhu Houzhao saw that the opportunity had come again, and he gathered a large army to suppress it. However, Zhu Houzhao's army was just halfway through, and the rebellious prince was directly captured by Wang Yangming on the spot, and the rest of the rebels were also captured and fled.
Zhu Houzhao was not happy on this side, and although Wang Yangming had captured the prince, he had no right to interrogate him, because the prince was a relative of the emperor and had to be handed over to the emperor. Wang Yangming went to the imperial court, but he never got a response, and finally he suddenly figured out one thing.
Wang Yangming next wrote on the recital that the prince heard that Zhu Houzhao wanted to personally fight him, so he directly tied his hands and was captured by himself, and then gave Zhu Houzhao a slap on the ass. Zhu Houzhao was particularly happy after seeing the recital, and only then did he approve Wang Yangming's request.
Zhu Houzhao is definitely the most favorite emperor in the Zhu family emperor, and he is also the emperor who can play the most. However, although Zhu Houzhao was a relatively absurd person, debauched and loved freedom all his life, and was blinded by the traitors, he basically did not make a mistake in the direction of his decision on major state affairs, and it can be said that major matters are not confused.
