Emperor Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo (28 August 1582 – 26 September 1620), also known as Emperor Taichang, was the 15th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with the era name Taichang and the temple name "Guangzong", and the courtesy name "Emperor Chongtianqi Dao Yingrui Gong ChunXian Wen Jing Wuyuan Renyi Xiaozhen Emperor".
The eldest son of Emperor Myeongshinjong, born in August of the tenth year of the Wanli Calendar (1582), his mother, Princess Wang, was originally a palace attendant to her grandmother Empress Li. Soon, Emperor Mingshenzong Zheng Guifei gave birth to a third son, Zhu Changxun, who was deeply favored. The eldest son, Zhu Changluo, had always been treated coldly, and the courtiers had written to ask for the establishment of the reserve, which was for the sake of the reserve, and the Ming Shen Sect either belittled the group of ministers or was a perfunctory coping with the snake. Grandmother Empress Li thought it was inappropriate. One day, Empress Li inquired about Emperor Shenzong's failure to make Zhu Changluo crown prince. The Divine Sect said: He was born of a palace man. Empress Li was furious: You are also born of palace people (Empress Li is also born of palace people). After hearing this, the Divine Sect was terrified and did not dare to get up.
In October of the 29th year of the Wanli Calendar (1601), Emperor Mingshen was forced to appoint his eldest son Zhu Changluo as crown prince, and at the same time, the third son Zhu Changxun was made the Prince of Fu, the fifth son Zhu Changhao was the King of Rui, the sixth son Zhu Changrun was the Prince of Hui, and the seventh son Zhu Changying was made the King of Gui. Crown Prince Zhu Changluo was known for his benevolence, and both the government and the public believed that he could be a Ming Emperor in the future. However, Chang Luo's position was not stable, and Concubine Zheng guifei always wanted to compete for the position of crown prince for Zhu Changxun, which triggered two demon book cases and implicated many ministers. Later, two eunuchs under Zheng Guifei even instructed the assassins to assassinate Zhu Changluo with wooden poles, in order to kill the case, and Shenzong killed all three assassins, eunuchs and other three in order not to implicate Zheng Guifei.
On July 21, 1620, the 48th year of the Wanli calendar, the Myōshin Sect died. Crown Prince Zhu Changluo immediately sent a million rewards to the border guards with a million internal money (the emperor's private money). Stop all mining taxes and recall the ministers who have offended by their words. Soon, another million dollars were sent. In August, he ascended the throne and changed his name to Yuan Taichang for Emperor Mingguangzong. Princess Fu's biological mother, Princess Zheng Guifei, offered four beautiful women in order to win over the Ming Guangzong. Ming Guangzong fell ill soon after excessive indulgence, and the eunuch Cui Wenshengjin had diarrhea with laxatives, and died suddenly because of taking Li Kezhuo's red pills, known in history as the red pill case. In September, Ming Guangzong, who had reigned for less than thirty days, died violently in the Red Pill case.
