Carpenter Emperor: Emperor Mingxi Zhu You

In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xizong Zhu You was a genius carpenter who made exquisite lacquerware, beds, comb boxes and other utensils. According to records, the folding bed was his invention.

Zhu Youxiao ignored the government and politics, and was obsessed with carpentry work all day long, often working day and night, and did not rest until midnight. He also liked to design and build houses, and worked as a carpenter himself, at a level comparable to that of a skilled craftsman.

Because Zhu Youxiao was busy with carpentry all day, he put aside the important affairs of the state and became a veritable carpenter emperor. As a result, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian manipulated the government and the country was in a mess. If he hadn't reincarnated in the royal family, he might have become a famous carpenter in history.
