Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang (1328~ 1398) was born in Haozhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in an ordinary peasant family. /kloc-When he was 0/7 years old, a plague occurred in his hometown. His parents and brothers were killed in this disaster. The young Zhu Yuanzhang had to become a monk for food and clothing. Who knows that the monk is not good either, and soon the famine forced him to leave the temple and go out for alms. This outing can be said to have a great influence on Zhu Yuanzhang's life, which not only exercised his will and body, but also exposed him to some anti-meta-thoughts.
Shortly after returning to his hometown, introduced by his playmate Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Red Scarf Army in Guo Zixing. Because of his wisdom and courage, he soon became Guo Zixing's confidant and married Ma Shi, Guo Zixing's adopted daughter. During Guo Zixing's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang constantly expanded his power and mastered a team that really belonged to him, so that Zhu Yuanzhang easily defeated Guo Zixing's son and gained control of the team after Guo Zixing's death. Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with enough territory. If he wants to occupy this grand plan, he must have a stable base area, so Nanjing (Qing Ji) came into his sight. 1356, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Qing Ji and renamed it Yingtianfu, calling himself Wu Guogong. At the same time, we adopted Zhu Sheng's suggestion of "building a high wall, building a good relationship and becoming king slowly", and vigorously developed production, laying a solid foundation for a bigger war in the future.
Next, Chen Youliang was defeated in the periphery of Nanking, Chen Youliang's army was completely defeated in a bloody battle in Poyang Lake, Zhang Shicheng was destroyed in Zhejiang, Han Liner was killed, and Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were sent to the Northern Expedition. Destroy all forces one by one. 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian, with the title Daming. In the same year, Yuan Shundi was expelled from Beijing.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it adopted the policy of living in peace with the people, reduced taxes, promulgated the Daming Law, and stabilized social order. At the same time, the prime minister was abolished, the six-department system was implemented, the Yushitai was changed to the inspector's office, the guard system was implemented, the military commanders were separated from the military power, and a royal guard was set up to supervise the courtiers and the people. All these measures greatly strengthened the imperial power.
Zhu Yuanzhang's repeated imprisonment also left a strong mark in history. Heroes in Hongwu period, except a few such as Geng Bingwen, were all killed. In the Hu case, 30,000 people were killed, and another 1.5 million people were implicated in Zhu Yuanzhang's aquamarine case in his later years. So that in the battle of Jingnan, the Nanjing court had no generals to send. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's enfeoffment of foreign princes and the killing of heroes directly led to Wen Jian's failure in the battle of Jingnan. 1398 In May, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, died of illness in Nanjing. He was in office for 3 1 year and died at 7 1 year.
Zhu Yunwen, Ming Huidi
Ming Huidi Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, and the eldest son of Prince Zhu Biao.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang had to reconsider the issue of succession to the throne. During this time, he thought of Judy, the fourth son of the emperor, because Judy was very similar to himself in many places. However, when Liu Sanwu, the minister, asked the ministers, if the fourth son of the emperor was established, where should the second and third sons be established? At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had enfeoffed the kings, and the second, third and fourth sons of the emperor were named three princes of Qin, Jin and Yan respectively. The fiefs of these three men are all important border towns and armed to the teeth. Once there is infighting over storage, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had to let Zhu Biao's second son Zhu Yunwen be the great-grandson of the emperor (Zhu Biao's eldest son died young). Zhu Yuanzhang died in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yunwen officially acceded to the throne, changing the following year to the first year of his work. It is not difficult to see from the title that a Wen Jian, a Hongwu, and two emperors have completely different personalities, and an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to set up an emperor's grandson is that Zhu Yunwen, like his father, is too weak, too kind, too seriously influenced by Confucianism, and I am afraid he will suffer a big loss in the future.
After Wen Jian ascended the throne, the tense atmosphere in Hongwu period was changed, and a breeze blew in China. He reused Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru and other literati, reformed the politics of the first dynasty, and created a relaxed environment for the people and officials. An important measure in the reform is to reduce the number of fans. At that time, most of the fans were Zhu Yunwen's uncles, and they all had military power. They do evil in their own land, and some even prepare to rebel. Judy, the prince of Yan, is one of the most representative. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's first three sons died, and Judy became the oldest prince. In addition, with Judy becoming stronger and stronger in the process of fighting against Mongolia, he has become the biggest threat to the imperial power.
It can be said that Emperor Wen Jian's cutting was aimed at the prince alone. But his weakness hurt him, which was his first mistake in making decisions on major issues. He didn't behead the prince first, but laid hands on other princes, which made the prince in jeopardy, alarmed him and made the prince step up preparations. When Wen Jian decided to attack Judy, it was too late. Judy, the prince of Yan, quickly raised the banner of Jingnan. In the first battle, the imperial army occupied an absolute advantage, but due to Li Jinglong's improper command, the Ming army suffered repeated battles and defeats. However, due to the limitation of troops, the cities occupied by the Yan army soon gave up, so the two sides launched a seesaw war. During this period, a number of outstanding generals emerged in the Ming army, and their tenacious resistance posed a great threat to Judy. However, Zhu Yunwen's weakness once again shows that his imperial edict "I want to live my uncle" saved Judy from many disasters, and his woman's kindness finally pushed the court to the abyss. After four years of tug-of-war, the prince correctly analyzed the situation. As long as he is in power, the local troops will resist for a day, and they will resist the king. However, if Nanjing is captured and his rule is driven away, they can become the king of a country. I believe there are not many people who oppose it, because everyone is watching.
So Yan Jun bypassed this big city and headed south. At that time, the imperial court in Wen Jian was in a mess, and many local generals just held their horses. Soon, Yan Jun Enemy at the Gates, the prince and some generals opened the door and surrendered without authorization. Nanjing was finally occupied, and Emperor Wen Jian disappeared. Moreover, as Judy expected, there was little opposition at the local level. Judy declared victory in the battle of Jingnan, and he ascended the throne of Yongle Emperor himself. However, in the imperial court, the situation is different. Only 24 civil servants surrendered, while thousands of others fled or committed suicide. There are almost no available people in Yongle court, which shows that his position in the minds of literati is quite high.
Emperor Wen Jian's trip to the emperor ended four years later. As an emperor, he is too kind and sometimes indecisive. If I let him be a courtier, I believe he can love the people like a son and remain uncorrupted, but unlike being an emperor, the emperor is doomed to be inseparable from blood, and he wants to exclude dissidents. He wants to establish imperial power. If he can't do this, the emperor will eventually be eliminated by history, and Wen Jian is such a tragic figure. Ming Chengzu Judy
Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a controversial emperor in history. He made great achievements and created the prosperity of the early Ming Dynasty, but he was overjoyed, suspicious, and killed people without blinking an eye, and his hands were covered with blood. Whether merit is greater than merit or excess is greater than merit can only be grasped by the people themselves.
At the age of eleven, Judy was made a prince by her father Zhu Yuanzhang. At the age of twenty-one, she was sent to Beijing. At that time, although the forces of the Yuan Dynasty had been driven to the grassland, they still had considerable military strength and constantly harassed the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Beijing is not peaceful. It exists as a military center. Zhu Yuanzhang imprisoned Judy in Beijing, hoping that his son could take the place of hero, so as to make the regime of the Ming Dynasty more stable. But it was the four emperors who used their military power to finally seize the position of the emperor, which Zhu Yuanzhang could not have predicted.
During her stay in Beijing, under the guidance of many loyal generals, Judy quickly became a qualified military conductor, won a major victory in the anti-Yuan war and strengthened her military strength. In the last years of Hongwu, he became the strongest vassal in the north. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen, the great grandson of the emperor, ascended the throne, and his title was established.
At the beginning of Wen Jian's accession to the throne, in addition to a series of necessary reforms, he began to cut the suggestions of Qi Tai and others. After beheading five queens in succession, he directed his finger at Judy, the prince of Yan. Judy also took immediate action to kill the court minister stationed in Beijing and launch Jingnan.
Because the hero of Hongwu period had been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the court had to send some young generals to take command. However, due to the powerful imperial court, the two sides are still in a tug-of-war situation. At this time, the weakness of Jianwen Emperor was exposed. Due to some mistakes in his decision-making and the success of Judy's strategy of taking Nanjing directly, Wen Jian occupied Nanjing for four years, and his whereabouts were unknown. Under the "persuasion" of ministers, Judy ascended the throne in Nanjing with the title of Yongle.
In the early years of Yongle, Judy adopted a bloody policy in order to eliminate the residual party member in Wen Jian. "Guaman Copying and Killing Ten Houses" was produced in this period. Some literati have committed crimes, and not only his relatives, but also his friends will be put to death collectively. This is called killing ten families. The atmosphere of terror at that time was evident. The influence of eunuchs was fully developed in Yongle dynasty, and many eunuchs participated in politics and became decisive figures. This is also the bane of the eunuch dictatorship in the Ming Dynasty.
An important event in Yongle period was Zheng He's voyage to the West. Zheng He went to the Western Seas for two purposes, the most important of which was to find the missing emperor Wen Jian. At that time, it was said that Wen Jian escaped from the sea. Judy was worried that Wen Jian would make a comeback, so she sent Zheng He, a confidant eunuch, to the Western Ocean to find him. Another reason is Judy's joy. At that time, China was regarded as the center of the world, and all countries should come to congratulate him. So, he sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean to greet the kings of various countries to congratulate him, so as to set off a prosperous time.
Judy's other achievement is the construction of the Forbidden City. At that time, the north was still unstable and there was the possibility of war at any time. Nanjing is far away and the command is inconvenient. Therefore, Judy decided to build Bauhinia City and prepare to move the capital. The construction of Beijing Palace began in 14 16, and the capital was officially moved to Beijing in 142 1.
Judy has also made great achievements in cultural studies, which can be seen from the compilation of Yongle Dadian. Yongle Dadian, compiled by Jie Jin and others, is regarded as the crown of ancient books. Yongle Dadian is more valuable than Sikuquanshu in Qing Dynasty, because it only collects, sorts out and classifies ancient books without any major changes. However, many contents in Sikuquanshu have been revised by editors, which destroyed the original appearance of ancient books. Therefore, Yongle Dadian is worthy of the title of the crown of ancient books.
Ten years after Yongle, Judy began the Northern Expedition, and with the increase of age, the frequency of the Northern Expedition became faster and faster. Judy launched five northern struggles in her life. Except for the first two, most of them waste people and money, which puts a heavy burden on the newly recovered economy. 1424 In July, Judy died in Yumuchuan in the fifth northern struggle. He reigned for 22 years, at the age of 65, and was buried in Zhu Gaochi, Emperor of Ming Changling at the foot of Tianshou Mountain in Changping, Beijing.
Judy's eldest son was born in the eleventh year of Hongwu, and his mother was Queen Xu. As early as the Hongwu period, Zhu Gaochi was named the Prince of Yan, and was deeply loved by the ancestors of the emperor because of his elegance and kindness. The only fly in the ointment is that Zhu Gaochi is too fat to move. He always needs two attendants to help him move, and he always stumbles. Therefore, for Cheng Zu who has been addicted to martial arts all his life, he doesn't like this son.
After the Jingnan War broke out, he and his mother Xu successfully stopped Li Jinglong's 500,000 troops and saved Beijing. This battle is of great significance to the whole south of Beijing, and it is also the most dazzling stroke of Zhu Gaochi in the south of Beijing. Since then, because of his obesity, it is inconvenient to fight with the army, so he was left in the rear, so Zhu brought the emperor's second son to the front desk.
Zhu and Zhu are quite similar, both brave and good at fighting. He has high prestige among military commanders. When Cheng Zu was rescued from danger many times in the battle, Cheng Zu may have granted his wish and said, "Your eldest brother is ill, and the throne will be yours in the future." After listening to this, Zhu's enthusiasm was even higher, and he made great contributions to the whole Jingnan neutrality.
After Jing Nan succeeded, Judy succeeded to the throne, but she hesitated on the issue of establishing a prince. Zhu Gaochi won the support of civil servants for his kindness and elegance. He was Yan Shizi personally selected by Mao for Judy, and he was the legal heir to the throne. In feudal society, this is very important; And Zhu's character is quite like brave and handsome. He made great contributions under difficult circumstances, and Cheng Zu personally made a wish to pass on the throne to him. Personally, he hopes to establish Zhu. He thinks that Zhu Gaochi is too soft-hearted and will be intimidated in the future.
But in the end, Cheng Zu made Zhu Gaochi a prince, because the civil servants had too much power. In peacetime, mastering civil servants is equivalent to mastering the country. A military commander's clumsy tongue can't compare with the pen and mouth of the above-mentioned minister. Besides, Zhu Gaochi didn't make any major mistakes when he was a prince, so he was ruined. It is very important that Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji has won Judy's love. Jie Jin, a famous civil servant, once persuaded Cheng Zu with "a good grandson", which is similar to Yong Zhengdi's accession to the throne in Qing Dynasty.
Zhu didn't just give in. He refused to go to San Francisco and stayed in Beijing to wait for an opportunity to act. First, he slandered Jie Jin, the first hero of Li Chu, who was killed a few years later. Then privately, he raised many warriors. Fortunately, he and Queen Xu persuaded Zhu to cut off several guards and drove him to San Francisco. The dispute between high heat and high enthusiasm has come to an end for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Cheng was killed halfway. Zhu Gaosui, the emperor's third son, plotted to kill Chengzu during his illness, and then he was called to the throne. Fortunately, someone tipped them off and disaster didn't come. Later, due to Zhu Gaochi's intercession for Zhu Gaosui, Cheng Zu finally didn't pursue it again.
On July 18th, the 22nd year of Yongle, 65-year-old Ming Chengzu died on the way to the Northern Expedition in Beijing. In order to avoid Zhu He taking the opportunity to make trouble, the British public servant Zhang Fu and cabinet ministers kept this secret, so they melted the lacquerware in the general's body into a big coffin and put his body in the coffin.
As usual, we have dinner every day to pay our respects, but the curtain of the emperor's sedan chair has never been lifted, and the emperor does not speak. Everything is normal in the army. At the same time, Yang Rong and eunuch Hai Shou were sent to Beijing to report, and Zhu Gaochi immediately sent his son Zhu Zhanji to Beijing to welcome the funeral. Due to the careful arrangement of ministers, there was no rebellion in the end and the regime was able to transition smoothly.
After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he changed to Hongxi and began a series of reforms. He abolished ancient castration, stopped treasure ships from going to the west, and stopped the royal family from purchasing jewelry. He took Emperor Taizong as a model everywhere and loved the people like a son. He ordered tax reduction and exemption, gave free relief to the affected areas, opened some mountains and rivers for farmers to fish and hunt, changed the usual punishment for refugees and adopted a proper resettlement method. All these have enabled the people of Hongxi Dynasty to fully recuperate and develop their productive forces in an unprecedented way. The Ming dynasty entered a stable and powerful period, which was also the beginning of the so-called "benevolent rule" in history.
Ideologically, he advocates Confucianism, loyalty and filial piety. During his reign, Confucianism was fully developed, and many unjust cases were solved, such as the case of Fang Xiaoru, a loyal minister in Wen Jian, and the case of Jie Jin in Yongle. Renzong is very good at remonstrance. He once gave Yang Shiqi and others a small seal to encourage them to protest. Therefore, Hongxi's politics is very clear, courtiers can express their opinions and emperors can do good deeds.
Emperor Hongxi also made important contributions to the imperial examination system. At that time, because southerners were smart and hardworking, most of the Jinshi were southerners, but northerners were simple and honest by nature, which was also an indispensable pillar of the royal family. However, northerners are not so talented. In order to ensure that northerners could pass the imperial examination, Emperor Hongxi stipulated that the system of "six in the south and four in the north" had been used until the Qing Dynasty.
May 29th, the first year of Hongxi. Emperor Renzong died of a heart attack at the age of 47. It has been suggested that Injong questioned his contribution less than a year after he was in office. But I didn't know that during his reign, Cheng Zu spent most of his time fighting in the north, and North Korea's government affairs were always handed over to Zhu Gaochi, so he had enough time to carry out his own policies, which laid a good foundation for his accession to the throne. If this time is added, Zhu Gaochi's contribution to the Ming Dynasty is beyond doubt. Zhu Gaochi, Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty, deserves to be called Renzong.
Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji
Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, the eldest son of Emperor Zhu Gaochi of Hongxi, was born in the thirty-first year of Hongwu. On the night when he was born in Zhu Zhanji, his ancestor Judy, the prince at that time, had a dream. He dreamed that Mao gave him Adachan. In ancient times, Da Gui symbolized power, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave him Da Gui, which meant giving him the country.
When Judy woke up, he was recalling the dream. Suddenly, it was reported that his grandson Zhu Zhanji was born. Judy immediately realized that the scene in her dream was reflected in her grandson. He immediately ran to see his grandson, only to see that Xiao looked like himself and was full of heroic spirit. Judy was very happy after seeing it, which also played a great role in Judy's determination to launch Jingnan. After winning the battle of Jingnan, Judy personally selected the famous civil servant and military commander at that time as Zhu Zhanji's teacher, and repeatedly instructed Sun Huang that he was a talented person and must do his best. Meanwhile, Judy didn't forget to teach him herself. After the mid-Yongle expedition, Judy has been taking Zhu Zhanji with him, letting him know how to lead troops to fight and exercise his courage, which is of great help to Zhu Zhanji's personal expedition.
Every time she returns from an expedition, Judy will take Zhu Zhanji to visit the farmhouse, so that her grandson can experience the hardships of the farmhouse and be a good emperor who loves the people in the future. Judy's careful teaching of Zhu Zhanji is of great significance to Zhu Zhan's later becoming a famous monarch. To a great extent, he was valued by his son, so the father and son became the eyesore of Zhu and others, and the young one was involved in the struggle. However, with his grandfather's love for him and his courage and wisdom, he always helped his father save the day, and finally made Zhu Gaochi ascend to the throne of the emperor.
Who knows that my father's throne was not hot, and he died of sudden illness ten months later. At that time, in Nanjing, his uncle Zhu was going to kill the prince halfway and then become emperor himself. But Zhu Zhanji had long anticipated the future, so when he learned that his father was seriously ill, he immediately rushed to Beijing day and night. At this time, Zhu has not sent an ambush, and he did not expect to come so early. After returning to Beijing, on the one hand, he properly handled his father's funeral, on the other hand, he strengthened public order in Beijing to prevent people from making troubles, and then he calmly ascended the throne, changing next year to the first year of Xuande, and began his imperial career.
After Xuanzong ascended the throne, the biggest problem he faced was the problem of foreign vassals left by Taizu. This problem was not fundamentally solved in Wen Jian, Yongle and Hongxi Dynasties. After Xuanzong ascended the throne, he immediately began to rectify military affairs and prepare for the challenge from powerful governors. His uncle Zhu, who made outstanding achievements in the battle of Jingnan, was very good at leading troops. After the Yongle Dynasty enfeoffed Le 'an, he never gave up his ambition to seize power by force. Finally, the opportunity came. Renzong died, Xuanzong ascended the throne, the country was in turmoil and the emperor was young. It was a good time to rebel, so after careful preparation, he also raised the banner of "Jun Qing side" like his father, pointing to Xia Yuanji, a veteran of the Five Dynasties. At the suggestion of Yang Rong, the minister of Tang Xuanzong, who had been prepared for the expedition, once overwhelmed the rebels in momentum. Previously agreed to fight with zhu * * * military forces also stay put. The Ming army soon surrounded Le 'an, so Zhu had to abandon the city and surrender. The battle ended in a great victory for the Ming army and captured the enemy leader alive. Xuanzong also relented. Instead of killing his uncle Zhu, he put him under house arrest in Xiaoyao City.
After the victorious army returned to Beijing, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty immediately summoned another imperial uncle and suggested that he hand over the military power (all the governors at that time had their own troops, called Wei). Zhu Gaosui did not resist, but obediently handed over three guard horses, so that the problem of captaincy in the early Ming Dynasty was finally solved in Xuande Dynasty for nearly half a century. Annan issue is also an important issue in Xuande Dynasty. As early as the Yongle period, due to the internal struggle of Annan, the original ruler of Annan was extinct and Annan was in chaos. Zhang Fu, the general of Chengzu Sect, led the troops to counter the rebellion, and officially set up a residence in Annan, and sent people to manage it. However, due to the oppression and historical origins of some corrupt officials, Annan almost never stopped fighting, which made the financial burden heavy in the early Ming Dynasty.
When Xuanzong ascended the throne, the Annan problem became more and more serious, and the imperial army was constantly defeated in Annan. In this case, Xuanzong resolutely decided to make peace and give up the occupation of Annan. This caused great controversy at that time, but now it seems that Tang Xuanzong's decision is correct, at least in line with the interests of the people. Expedition to Annan not only consumed the national treasury, but also made many families in China suffer from the loss of children and husbands, which was not conducive to economic recovery and social stability. Therefore, it is wise to give up Annan. Xuanzong has "Sanyang" (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu), Zhouyi and Xia Yuanji; There are also British officials and local governors like Yu Qian and Chen Zhou, who are really talented. This made the politics clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the economy developed unprecedentedly, which formed the famous prosperity situation of "benevolent politics and peace" after Kaiyuan.
As Emperor Taiping, Zhu Zhanji liked cricket fighting since he was a child. After he ascended the throne, he asked all localities to purchase excellent crickets to come to Beijing. In order to please Xuanzong, local officials stepped up their tasks, which once caused great burden to the people. Zhu Zhanji is also known as the "Cricket Emperor". A few years ago, there was a cartoon devoted to this history. The downfall of Xuanzong is also a stain on him, which will be introduced in detail in Yingzong's article. In a word, Emperor Xuande was a competent emperor and his contribution to the Ming Dynasty was indelible. He is called Emperor Taiping by historians and is a famous emperor in history. These titles are not exaggerated for Xuanzong, but Emperor Xuande did not enjoy a long life. After ten years in office, he contracted an unknown disease and gave up. How can his untimely death be regrettable?
Zhu Qizhen, Ming Yingzong.
Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, the eldest son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, had a legendary life. During the reign of Xuande, Hu Huanghou, the official palace of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Zhu Zhanji, was a rare queen with good conduct, virtuous and gentle. Xuanzong also had an imperial concubine named Sun, who was deeply loved by Xuanzong. The only regret is that she didn't get the queen's throne, so Sun Guifei racked her brains to get rid of Hu Huanghou and start her own business.
The opportunity has finally come. Tang Xuanzong's children were not rich. Hu Huanghou failed to give birth to a prince for Xuanzong. Although Sun Guifei failed to have children, she came up with a plan to steal the boat. He sent people to spy around the palace to see which maid-in-waiting was pregnant after the emperor was lucky, so he hid the found maid-in-waiting in the secret room, isolated from the outside world, and sent someone to take care of it. Then he bribed the physician, claiming that he was pregnant, and faked many signs of pregnancy.
Because Sun Guifei was deeply loved by the emperor at that time, no one dared to disclose any news. In this way, she conceived in October and the maid-in-waiting gave birth to a son smoothly. Sun Guifei immediately sent someone to hold the child to her side, secretly executed the maid-in-waiting, and then immediately sent someone to inform Xuanzong, pretending to be weak after delivery. In this way, this little baby boy became the biological son of Queen Sun, and this child was later Zhu Qizhen, Ming Yingzong.
Therefore, when Sun Guifei was in the harem, Hu Huanghou was forced to give way. Because Tang Xuanzong directed the farce after the abolition, this is a big stain on his life wisdom.
Such a maid-in-waiting ascended the throne of the emperor at the age of seven, and began his legendary life with an orthodox title. With the death and retirement of "Sanyang", an important official of Ren Xuanchao, and the sharp rise of eunuch power in harem, the politics of orthodox dynasty became increasingly corrupt. Wang Zhen, a famous eunuch, was the representative of eunuch dictatorship in orthodox dynasty, and Yingzong obeyed him. He also relied on the majesty of the emperor to exclude dissidents and establish cronies.
At that time, the forces of the Yuan Dynasty in Mobei had been divided into two parts, Vara and Tatar, and the two tribes conquered each other. By the time he arrived in Yingzong, Vara became stronger and harassed the northern Ming Dynasty. The real power of the Walla Department at that time was in the hands of a man named Ye. He often sent people to defraud the reward in the name of paying tribute to the court, because at that time there was always an envoy of the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to the country, no matter what tribute it was. I also took a fancy to this first, and more and more envoys were sent, and finally it increased to more than 3000 people.
Wang Zhen was fed up with this, ordered to reduce the reward, and in this name first launched the war against Ming Dynasty. Yingzong is young and wants to personally sign. Wang Zhen also wanted to make a name for himself in history, so he tried his best to encourage the British Sect to make personal expedition. However, due to the fact that the main force of the Ming court was fighting in other places at that time, it was difficult to get back at that time, so the minister of the DPRK dissuaded Yingzong from personal expedition, but in the end, he did not change Yingzong's attitude, so he temporarily pieced together 500,000 troops from the vicinity of the capital, which was mighty under the command of Yingzong.
The morale of the army is very low because of the continuous heavy rain and lack of food support. When they arrived in Datong and saw the bodies of the Ming army who were also killed first, Yingzong and Wang Zhen wavered and decided to retreat. However, Wang Zhen's hometown is in Yuzhou, which is close to Datong, so he decided to retreat to Yuzhou. Wang Zhen's proposal was immediately opposed by ministers, who thought it would delay the opportunity to retreat, but Wang Zhen listened, and Yingzong also hoped to give Wang Zhen a chance to return to China, so the army began to March in the direction of Yuzhou.
At this time, Wang Zhen had a whim, fearing that the army would trample on the crops in his hometown after passing by, and he would be accused, so he suggested withdrawing troops by the same route, and precious time was thus delayed. When the army arrived near Huailai, Wang Zhen ordered to wait in place because the trench had not yet arrived.
If Yingzong can enter Huailai City at this time, then history will be rewritten, but history is history, and there are not so many assumptions. Just outside Huailai, the Ming army was surrounded by the first army. First, the water source of the Ming army was cut off, and the Ming army was trapped to death. Also pretend to make peace first, and launch a general attack while the Ming army is unprepared. The Ming army was completely annihilated, Yingzong was captured, Wang Zhen was killed by Fan Zhongyan, and the general, minister Zhang Fu and Minister of War Kuang Ye died one after another. This is the famous uprising. Yingzong also began his one-year hunting life in the north.
After Yingzong was captured, he felt very difficult at first and could not decide whether to kill or stay. Fortunately, Xian Ye's younger brother, Boyan Timur, thought that the rare goods of Yingzong could live in and advised him to leave Yingzong first. His proposal was approved by Xian Ye, and Yingzong was saved. In the early days of Yingzong's capture, he always took Yingzong everywhere to cheat, but they were all rejected by the border generals of the Ming Dynasty. Soon after, Empress Sun and the court etiquette made Wang Zhu Chyi Yu emperor, with the title of Jingtai, which made the court stable. At the same time, the emperor also made an imperial decree not to contact him privately.
In this way, Yingzong's plan to make a lot of money failed first, so the depressed Vala led the elite cavalry to Beijing first, and the Ming Dynasty was ready. Under the leadership of Yu Qian, Beijing soldiers and civilians gave Ye Xianjun a heavy blow and led the team back to Mongolia first.
The war with the Ming dynasty not only made him lose his strength first, but also made him lose the reward of the Ming dynasty and the opportunity to trade with the Ming dynasty. At that time, Walla was a nomadic tribe. Without the necessities of life in the Ming Dynasty, the life of tribal people will be very difficult. After the defeat of Beijing, he also began to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, declaring that he would "welcome the DPRK to the west". However, Emperor Jingtai had already sat tight and refused to send someone to welcome Yingzong back, so I had to send an envoy to find out the news first. The second messenger sent to Walla was named Yang Shan. He sold his property and bought many rare treasures. With his clever tongue, he welcomed Yingzong back without imperial edict. Emperor Yingzong finally ended his one-year inaugural trip to the North and returned to Beijing.
Yingzong returned to Beijing without due courtesy. After a short ceremony, Yingzong was placed under house arrest in Nannei and began his seven-year house arrest. Even so, Emperor Jingtai was not at ease. He locked the gate of the Nangong, filled it with lead, and sent a security guard to guard it. Food is handed in through a small hole, and even this food is sometimes deducted. The original money queen of Yingzong had to do some needlework herself and send someone to sell it to supplement her family. In order to avoid contact with Yingzong, Emperor Jingtai also sent people to cut down all the trees in Nangong. Yingzong spent seven years under house arrest in fear and hunger.
In the eighth year of Jingtai, Emperor Jingtai was seriously ill, but the problem of storing heirs has not been solved. Ministers decided to protest to The Times the next day, asking the emperor to build Chu Jun as soon as possible. Who knows, on this night, the "mutation" that shocked China broke out. It turned out that Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, eunuch Cao Jixiang and others conspired to help the restoration of English Sect, hoping to achieve something.
It happened that there was a war report from the north that Vara was harassing the border, so Shi Heng took the opportunity to transfer troops to the city in the name of protecting the security of the capital. At this moment, the sky suddenly overcast and opaque, and everyone thought they were punished by God. They are all very scared. Xu Youzhen stood up and advised everyone not to retreat. They moved on, successfully entered the Imperial City and went straight to the Nangong. Shi Heng sent someone to knock on the door of the palace and invited Yingzong to board the bus. At this time, the gatekeeper tried to stop him. At this time, Yingzong stood up and showed his identity. The gatekeepers were blindsided, and everyone entered the palace without bloodshed, and came to the Fengxian Hall where the emperor held a court meeting to help Yingzong ascend to the throne. It was already dusk, and all the courtiers were waiting outside the noon gate to appear before them. Hearing the bells and drums, they entered the dedication hall in turn, but everything in front of them made them dumbfounded. The emperor on the throne was not Jingtai Emperor, but the orthodox emperor eight years ago. When everyone was hesitating, Xu Youzhen stood up and shouted "The Emperor has been restored". When the courtiers saw this, they had to kneel down and shout for a long time, and Yingzong recovered. Emperor Jingtai is freshening up in the harem. After hearing the news, he almost collapsed to the ground, knowing that everything was over.
After the British Restoration, Emperor Jingtai died a month later and was buried in Xishan, Beijing as a prince. Under the strong persuasion of Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, Yingzong killed Yu Qian, the commander-in-chief of Beijing defense, which was another big stain on his life after the change of Yingzong and the civil fort.
But the politics of Tianshun dynasty is much clearer than that of orthodox dynasty. The British Sect appointed and waited for wise ministers, which successively put down the rebellion of Shi and Cao, and the society is still developing forward. Yingzong should also be regarded as a generation of army. He released Jian (the son of Emperor Jianwen), who had been imprisoned since Yongle, restored the title of Xuande, and decided to stop concubinage after the death of the emperor.
