We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, speaking of his story, it is estimated that he can't finish talking in three days and three nights, he can go from a cow herding baby to the creation of the Daming Dynasty, whether it is boldness or brain, it is very powerful, his descendants are also looking at him, such as the Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao I want to talk about today, Zhu Yuanzhang was an idol from childhood, his courage was not inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang, it was not inferior at all, and he actually drove the royal conquest to beat the little prince of the Tatar tribe and fled, which at that time, It is something that everyone does not dare to think, because before Zhu Houzhao, there was a precedent of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen being captured by the imperial conquest, so with this boldness, Zhu Houzhao is quite good, but why in history, posterity did not have a high evaluation of him, what is going on? You, don't worry, we'll start all over again.
It is said that this Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, is the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, at the age of 15 he inherited the throne of his father Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youfan, he especially likes to ride horses and shoot arrows, and he also wants to learn from the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang to establish a career, but after all, he is the king of a country, that is to lead the whole body, so the ministers all stare at him deadly, afraid that he will be hot in the head, he will lead the army to the battlefield.
At first, Zhu Houzhao was still honestly staying in the palace, but he was not idle, directly transferred some soldiers to the palace, and then began to practice over and over again, but over time, Zhu Houzhao always felt that this was not a real battlefield, it was equivalent to talking about soldiers on paper, which was a bit far from his goal of making meritorious achievements, but now the world was peaceful, and there was no battle to fight, and Zhu Houzhao, who was full of ambition, could only sigh silently.
In 1517 AD, the little prince of the Tatar tribe led troops to attack the border of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Houzhao heard the news, he could no longer sit still, after dark, taking advantage of the fact that everyone did not pay attention, he secretly ran out of the palace with his cronies Jiang Bin and went straight to the border where the Tatar army was infested, but at this time, he had a close associate around him, and he certainly could not do the Tatar army, so he thought of a way, that is, to give himself a zhu shou stage name, and gave himself an official, called the governor of the military affairs and mighty general officer Then, in this name, he wrote a letter to Wang Xun, the chief soldier of Datong who was guarding the border pass at that time.
After Wang Xun received the letter, he frowned, he thought about the minister of the DPRK next to each other, he really could not think of anyone who was this official position, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the handwriting on the letter was particularly like a person's technique, that is, the emperor Zhu Houzhao, plus he had received a flying pigeon letter from the minister of the DPRK, informing him that the emperor had run out of the palace, so, judging by the handwriting, Wang Xun determined that this person was his leader Zhu Houzhao.
So immediately, he took the local officials to meet the driver, and prepared good wine and good food to entertain, but after hearing the emperor's idea of wanting to drive the imperial conquest, Wang Xun joined forces with some officials to persuade Zhu Houzhao to return to Beijing, after all, the battlefield was too dangerous, and this was only a few decades after the incident of Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qi's capture, everyone was afraid of it, this kind of thing can not appear a second time.
After all, this opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he was bent on looking up to his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, who could easily let it go, so he ignored everyone's persuasion and began to dispatch troops, and in the name of Zhu Shou, the "Governor of The Governor of Military Affairs and Mighty General", he commanded 100,000 soldiers and horses, and confronted the 50,000 elite soldiers led by the little prince of Tatarstan.
When the Ming army at the scene saw that the emperor had personally killed the enemy on the battlefield, how could they be afraid of their heads and tails, so they mustered up enough strength to beat the Tatar army to a gradual defeat. Later, the little Prince of Tatars, who was in the inferior position, could no longer hold on and fled. In order to celebrate this victory, Zhu Houzhao was even more rewarded, and he also crowned himself as the "Duke of Zhenguo".
In 1519, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, rebelled, and Zhu Houzhao seized the opportunity to quell the rebellion of King Ning. However, it was such a capable emperor who estimated that he could not imagine that he would die in death, and what took his life was not to die in battle on the battlefield, but to accidentally fall into the water while fishing and playing, so he fell ill with pneumonia and died. At this time, he is only 31 years old, which is to be put into the present, which is exactly the age of a promising young man who is desperately struggling, alas, when it comes to this, I can't help but feel pity and lament.
But then again, this quelling of the rebellion, and the defeat of the elite soldiers of the Tatar tribe by the Imperial Conquest, how to see this, are all the manifestations of a Ming Jun? But why is the historical evaluation not high for him? This has to start with his ascension to the throne as emperor. Originally, this Zhu Houzhao was a clever and clever child who everyone had to praise when he saw him, but after he ascended the throne at the age of 15, everything changed, he actually reused the eunuchs headed by Liu Jin, and also handed over the folds played by the ministers to Liu Jin, and he played with beautiful women in the leopard room, and after a long time, Liu Jin became the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, began to openly accept bribes and ask for bribes, vigorously supported his cronies, and arbitrarily dismissed the officials of the DPRK and China, and even wanted to rebel in the back.
At this point, zhu Houzhao's reverse scales were touched, and Liu Jin was directly raided home, and he was also executed by Ling Chi. Although this matter has passed like this, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are grumpy, believing that Zhu Houzhao is too greedy to allow a eunuch to act recklessly, so they are all prejudiced against Zhu Houzhao. Later, although Zhu Houzhao personally marched and defeated the Tatar army, in the hearts of the courtiers, especially those civilian officials, they all thought that this was simply too much of a play, and an emperor insisted on the imperial conquest in spite of his own dissuasion for his own little idea, which was also too confused.
Therefore, combined with Zhu Houzhao's early leopard room play, allowing Liu Jin to become bigger and stronger, and then insisting on pro-conquest, all gave people a kind of performance of being a faint monarch, naturally recorded by the historians, and in the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was the most intense period of confrontation between the imperial power and the civilian officials group, and the historians were also part of the civilian officials group, that is to say, the civilian officials group held the right to speak in history, and they liked the obedient emperor, what they said, the emperor did it, but Zhu Houzhao was disobedient, which annoyed them. Zhu Houzhao's shortcomings were magnified in the history books, which led to his historical evaluation not being high.
But when we look back, you will find that when Zhu Houzhao was playing greedily in his early years, he was at an immature age, a teenager, and it was inevitable that he would have some playfulness, but after killing Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have changed a person and began to think about doing some work, when he heard that the little prince of the Tatar tribe led the elite soldiers to attack, he did not hesitate at all, and even took only one of his cronies to go straight to the border. If the courtiers at that time had allowed him to march in person, would he still have sneaked out? Apparently in good spirits, he engaged in a battle with the Tatar army.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was greedy in his early years, but he was not confused in major matters, although he was not a wise and divine emperor, he was by no means a faint emperor.
