The master of foreign language learning is Xian Di.
Zhu Houzhao, eager for competition, is actually a knowledgeable person. He is proficient in Buddhism and other religions, even Sanskrit. In addition to giving himself the title of "general", he also gave himself the title of "Buddha's name". His full name is "King Qing is a Buddha who thinks he is pure and comfortable." One of Zhu's great advantages is his foreign language talent. For example, when the Portuguese messenger appeared in front of him, he only learned Portuguese in a short time, and he was even able to talk skillfully in Portuguese.
Civil servants are unreliable.
In employing people, Zhu Houzhao was criticized by scholars for favoring eunuchs and alienating civil servants. However, in Lu's view, I have my own views on this. He said: ten civil servants, three or four at most, ten eunuchs, six or seven. This tendency accompanied his entire reign.
Emperor, who do you love most?
Zhu Houzhao is famous for appointing eunuch Liu Jin and military commander Jiang Bin, but he basically trusted only three kinds of people in his life.
The first is playing football, such as Liu Jin, who won the favor of Zhu Houzhao, not only because he played for Zhu Houzhao for a long time, but also because he can play football. Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao often buy some rare animals for Zhu Houzhao to appreciate and let him observe his words and deeds. For example, when Zhu Houzhao was a prince, whenever he didn't want to study, Liu Jin would interrupt the lecturers in time and force them to leave early. The second is fighting. For example, Jiang Bin, the military commander of eunuch Zhang Yonghe, was famous for his military courage. Although Zhang Yong is a eunuch, he is also very popular in martial arts. He is good at riding and shooting. He was worshipped by Zhu Houzhao when he was a child. Zhu Houzhao also named him "Strong Zhang Man".
The third is the ability to work, such as Yang Tinghe, a civil servant. Although Yang Tinghe repeatedly stopped Zhu Houzhao's absurd behavior, Zhu Houzhao did not blame him, but respected Yang Tinghe. When dealing with state affairs at night, Zhu Houzhao often talks with Yang Tinghe alone. Every winter night, Yang Tinghe excused himself.
Zhu Houzhao also specially let people bring cotton-padded clothes and put them on Yang Tinghe. Zheng Dejiu, Yang Tinghe's father died, and he was ordered to go home for mourning. Zhu Houzhao is still very reluctant. Whenever he meets national affairs, what he says most is: If only Master Yang were here. During the three years after Yang Tinghe returned to China, Zhu Houzhao never forgot his birthday every year, and sent eunuchs to Yang Tinghe's house to deliver birthday gifts on time.
Stampede accident in Ming dynasty
Zhu Houzhao was found guilty of another "bad king" crime, that is, insulting ministers. His favorite people, such as Liu Jin and Jiang Bin, used his power to punish civil servants. In addition to punishing ministers who advise him, he often plays some "practical jokes" on ministers. According to Lu, during the 11-year festival, Manchu soldiers and civilians routinely went to the palace to congratulate the emperor. However, when Zhu Houzhao saw that ministers were well dressed, he disliked it even more. He deliberately rebelled against the minister and hid in the palace.
The poor minister of civil and military affairs stood from morning till night, his eyes blurred with hunger, and he was afraid to leave when he saw that the emperor could not see them. It was not until dark that Zhu Houzhao sent eunuchs to say that the emperor would not come today. Let's go home and rest. In the case of amnesty, the ministers who had been tired for a long time hurried home, but they didn't want to crowd outside the noon gate together. Many ministers were crowded, and the Ming version of the "stampede accident" occurred. Shi Ming said that during the whole hour of the accident, the minister's son called their father, their subordinates called their leader, and their servants called their master and shouted for help.
After counting the casualties, the right general Zhao Lang was trampled to death on the spot and more than 30 ministers were injured. Even the arm of Liang Chu, a cabinet university student, was trampled off. Afterwards, Zhu Houzhao also showed remorse. He didn't go to see the minister, but personally attended the funeral of the late Zhao Lang, and all the ministers injured in the accident also received generous pension rewards.
Don't you dare cut me.
During the reign of Zhu Houzhao, another political landscape of Shi Buxue was to be honest and upright. In the thirteenth year of Zheng De's reign, Zhu Houzhao stood in front of Fu Xuan, and Jiang Mian, a cabinet college student, stopped in front of his carriage. Zhu Houzhao threatened to kill Jiangmian with the sword in his hand, but Jiangmian generously replied, "I disobeyed the emperor's orders. This is a crime and should be killed by the emperor. " But Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to do so in the end.
Dare to challenge the emperor
Zhu Houzhao was criticized for his absurd behavior, but he was also tolerant of ministers. Apart from being kind to important officials such as Yang Tinghe, he did not hate many ministers who offended him, but admired them very much. For example, he is traveling in the north and wants to go to the grassland area through Fuxuan. However, Qin refused to open the door for him. After several days of stalemate, Zhu Houzhao was able to take advantage of Zhang Qin's visit to other places to enter the city.
However, instead of punishing Zhang Qin, Zhu Houzhao praised him for "diligence, loyalty and encouragement". Later, he went to the south of Yangzhou and had a good time there. Yangzhou secretariat Jiang is not satisfied with this. On the contrary, his mind is full of "injections". Zhu Houzhao asked Jiang Yao for money, and Jiang Yao took his wife's dowry jewels and shouted, "These things are in my house. It's up to you. Zhu Houzhao asked Jiang Yao for Qionghua, and Jiang Yao said with a smile, "Qionghua is here, but Song Huizong disappeared after being taken away." "In fact, he laughed at Zhu Houzhao as Song Huizong, the king of national subjugation in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Instead of being angry, Zhu Houzhao, an official who embarrassed him, laughed it off on the spot. After the incident, although Jiang Yao was retaliated by eunuchs in Zhu Houzhao, he was tied to the motorcade by iron chains in Zhu Houzhao and was released only after Zhu Houzhao returned to Linqing. However, he was later promoted to Shaanxi to participate in politics and was never punished again. In later history books, many "derogatory terms" were added to Zhu Houzhao, but no one said he was a tyrant.
[/s2/] Bad King's Pioneering Work
Ming Taizu has always been regarded as a "bad king" by historians, but during his 15 years in power, he did two things that he had never done before. First of all, the tax reform in the south of the Yangtze River changed the situation of excessive taxation in the south of the Yangtze River since Zhu Yuanzhang through the tax adjustment presided over by Yang Tinghe. Starting from Zheng De's eighth year, the tax reform in the south of the Yangtze River not only lightened the burden of local people in the south of the Yangtze River, but also paid off all the taxes owed to the central government for more than ten years since the late Hongzhi period in just two years. The financial situation of this country has greatly improved.
Secondly, the reform of coastal "ship administration" strengthened the tax function of ship administration, increased foreign trade income, opened the first step to cancel the maritime ban and expanded government tax sources. Zhu Houzhao was in power for fifteen years, and the actual national fiscal revenue was even higher than his father's "Hongzhi Zhongxing" for eighteen years.
