The Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644) was the last unified dynasty established by the Han people in the history of China, which was founded by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Nanjing was founded in the early days and moved to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty. It spread to the sixteenth emperor and lasted for 276 years. During the Ming Dynasty, the absolute monarchy was strengthened unprecedentedly, and the multi-ethnic country was further unified and consolidated. In the early Ming Dynasty, the abolition of the prime minister and the establishment of the factory-health secret service strengthened the centralization of absolutism, but at the same time it also laid the groundwork for the eunuch dictatorship in the middle and late period.
When it comes to the emperor of China, which dynasty has the most personality, of course, it must belong to the Ming Dynasty. Some people are addicted to carpentry, some like to stay in the palace, some devote themselves to cultivating immortals, and some are defeated and captured. So many people think that the Ming Dynasty was a bad monarch, but in fact most of the Ming Dynasty was a wise monarch who worked hard, otherwise how could the Ming Dynasty last for 276 years?
It is the royal attitude of the Ming Dynasty not to agree with relatives, not to pay compensation, not to cede territory and not to pay tribute, and to protect the country by the son of heaven and to subjugate the country by the monarch. Today, let's review the history of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and see who the emperors of 16 were.
First of all, the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, he really started from a bowl, and beggars built an empire. Zhu Yuanzhang is a model of grassroots counterattack. He worked as a cowherd and a monk, begging and wandering around during the famine, but this kind of begging actually came to the world. Zhu Yuanzhang joined the peasant uprising army at the age of 25 and became more and more smooth on the road of anti-yuan. At the age of 40, he reached the peak of his life directly.
1368 ascended the throne and established the Ming dynasty. In order to make the Zhu family sit more stable and longer, Zhu Yuanzhang spared no effort to create the rule of Hongwu in his 30 years in office. Politics, economy and culture blossomed in an all-round way, and social production gradually resumed development. In that year, he almost killed all his teammates. However, in his later years, his favorite son, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, died suddenly, so.
When Zhu Yunwen was the great-grandson of the emperor, he was worried about the self-esteem of the captaincy. Immediately after he ascended the throne, he ordered the beheading of vassals, and all uncles and nephews were dismembered. Who knows that he met his fourth uncle Judy's iron plate and eventually cut his throne. 1399, Judy launched the battle of Jingnan in the name of Fengtian Jingnan. 1302, Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts were unknown in the war, so Judy became the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
During Judy's reign, the economy of the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly, and Zheng He was appointed as an envoy to the Western Regions, creating a prosperous Yongle period. Besides, Judy is a famous war maniac, and the emperor is better at fighting than the general. In her prime, Judy had personally visited Mongolia five times, which turned Mongolia upside down. At the age of 64, he still refused to accept his old age and finally died on his fifth trip back to the DPRK. Fortunately, his son and grandson are well educated.
Emperor Tianzi's protection of the country is a tradition that the Ming emperors have been practicing. Since Judy, the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beiping to defend the northern territory. Every time Judy goes to war, Prince Zhu Gaochi is in charge of state affairs at home and has been conscientious, but Zhu Gaochi's biggest hobby is eating and drinking. Because he was too fat, he needed two people to help him walk, and he was emperor for ten months. Because of his obesity, he established his ancestral business. 1425 pass the throne to the eldest son Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji can be literate and secure the world, and he can mount a horse and stand upright, which was cultivated by his grandfather as an heir at an early age. He also followed Judy to crusade against Mongolian brush experience, and his military strategy was extraordinary. He put down the Hanwang rebellion, rectified the official wealth and achieved unprecedented social and economic development. Zhu Zhanji is not only a painter comparable to Song Huizong, but also a famous cricket emperor in history. At that time, catching crickets was a top priority, and no one dared to take it lightly.
However, like his father, Zhu Zhanji died young at the age of 38, and 1435 was passed on to his eldest son Zhu Qizhen, who was only 8 years old. When Zhu Qizhen grew up, he imitated his great-grandfather's personal adventure, but he was defeated and captured. Vala wanted to threaten the Ming Dynasty with Zhu Qizhen. As a result, he didn't expect the Ming Dynasty to take drastic measures. The minister headed by Yu Qian proposed to change the new emperor, making Zhu Qizhen the emperor's father, and making Zhu Qiyu, his half-brother, the emperor.
After Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he quickly repelled the invasion of Walla people, and it was a year before Emperor Zhu Qizhen was taken back to the palace. Although Zhu Qiyu had a good relationship with his brother, he couldn't stand the temptation of the throne, so he put Zhu Qizhen under house arrest for seven years. The emperor is very good, but he must also be healthy. Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill in bed at the age of 29, and his younger brother Zhu Qizhen took the opportunity to regain the throne. So the new emperor Taibao proposed to change to Yu Qian to get back at his younger brother, and Zhu Qizhen did not allow Zhu Qiyu to be buried in this tomb.
1464, Zhu Qizhen's eldest son Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne. The emperor was wise and generous, helping Yu Qian and other famous ministers get rid of vulgarity, exempt from taxes and reduce punishment, and the social economy gradually revived. However, although there are 3,000 beautiful women in the harem, Zhu Jianshen only prefers Wan Guifei, knowing that Wan Guifei is older than the emperor 17 years old.
The ninth emperor Zhu Youtang ascended the throne on 1487. During his reign, he was diligent in political affairs and not close to women. He is the only emperor in China who practiced monogamy with practical actions. He only lives an ordinary life like ordinary people with his queen every day. Husband and wife eat together, sing poems in pairs and talk about the past and the present together. Zhu Youtang also has more energy to spend on the governance of the country, attaches great importance to sages, and strives to reverse the corruption in state affairs.
But his son didn't help. The second son died young, and the eldest son, Zhu Houzhao, became an only child. It can be said that Zhu Houzhao grew up with thousands of expectations, and the result was crooked. 1505, Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne. During his reign, he rebelled and abandoned politics. He hangs out with eight big eunuchs all day, indulges in pleasure, packs a bag if he doesn't agree with a word, or walks around the palace over the wall. He didn't come back for a year or so. At the age of 3 1, he fell into the river during a cruise and was scared to death. Without a son, the throne can only be given to my cousin Zhu Houzong.
Zhu Houzong ascended the throne in 65438. After he ascended the throne and mastered the imperial power, he carried out the Jiajing New Deal, ruled the people strictly according to law, reorganized his platform and neglected his service. However, in his late reign, he went astray and superstitious about Taoist priests, which led to corruption in court affairs and was almost strangled by maids. Zhu Houzong, who was reborn after the robbery, changed his temperament greatly. At this point, he ignored the political affairs for a long time, and Mongolia and South Japan took the opportunity to invade, which had a great negative impact on the Ming Dynasty.
1556, Zhu Zaikun ascended the throne. He is Zhu Houzong's third son. Because his two brothers are dead, he successfully escaped from the throne. In the early days of Zhu Zaikun's reign, he was also busy wiping his father's ass, getting rid of the disadvantages of the previous dynasty, making peace with Mongolia, and busy promoting Qin Long's New Deal to maintain the good order of the Ming Dynasty, which finally brought the social economy back to the right track. Destroyed by his son Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Zaikun died on 1572, and Zhu Yijun succeeded to the throne on 10. He is the famous emperor Wanli, who reigned for 48 years, including 28 years without going to court. At first, with the help of his teacher Zhang, a series of reform measures revived the Ming Dynasty and created a prosperous situation in Wanli. The three characteristics of Wanli also consolidated the territory of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, after Zhang's death, he began to do ghosts, indulge in drinking, and died suddenly day and night. The Ming dynasty gradually declined.
Zhu Changluo ascended the throne on 1620. Contrary to his father, Zhu Changluo was the emperor with the shortest reign in the Ming Dynasty, and the experience card of the emperor expired only one month. Because of excessive debauchery, he fell ill on the day of his accession to the throne, and later he drove the crane west because of taking Dan medicine.
Zhu Youxiao was buried in the Ming Tombs, and Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne on 162 1. During the reign of Zhu Youxiao, eunuchs, led by Wei Zhongxian, ran rampant, resulting in such unjust cases as "writing to prison" and "writing to prison". Compared with being an emperor, Zhu Youxiao prefers carpentry, loves carpentry and building houses, and hates state affairs, because his three sons are all dead, and Zhu Youxiao wants to be an emperor after his death.
1627, Zhu Youjian acceded to the throne, gearing up to make a difference, get rid of Wei Zhongxian and other anti-party elements, rectify official management, and rehabilitate unjust imprisonment. Unfortunately, at that time, the Ming empire was in danger, and there was nothing it could do. When the peasant uprising broke out in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and Zhu Youjian would rather die than move the capital. 1644, died in Jingshan Park and hanged himself.
Later generations commented that the Ming dynasty was the most backbone dynasty, and some people said that the Ming dynasty was fatuous, which was right and wrong?
