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 squeeze Hu Huanghou out.
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 child 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 around 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 the martyrdom of concubines after the death of the emperor.
In the first month of Tianshun eight years, Yingzong died of illness at the age of 38. When Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen succeeded to the throne, Yingzong completed his complicated life path.

Ming Taizong Zhu Qiyu
Ming Daizong Zhu Qiyu, the second son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of Jingtai Emperor, people can't help but think of some legendary experiences, such as appointing Yu Qian to guard Beijing, seizing the door, and restoring Yingzong. Let us have a general understanding of Ming Daizong's life.
His biological mother is a maid in the palace of Hanwang, who is the second son of the famous Yongle Emperor Zhu. Xuande and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fought against their uncle Hanwang Zhu, captured Zhu's father and son, and made the harem of the Han Palace a slave. On his way back to Beijing, Emperor Xuanzong met Wu, the handmaid of Han Palace, and was deeply moved by Wu's beauty and intelligence, so Wu was able to stay with Emperor Xuanzong until he returned to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, due to the obstruction of feudal ethics, Wu, as a sinner, could not give a concubine, so Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty arranged her in a big house close to the palace wall, and she was often lucky. Finally, Wu's beads were secretly connected, and she gave birth to a second son for Xuanzong, named Jingtai Emperor. Wu was also named a virtuous princess, but continued to live outside the palace.
In the eighth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuande was seriously ill. He sent someone to call Zhu Qiyu and his mother into the palace, and entrusted his mother Zhang Taihou to be kind to Zhu Qiyu and her mother. After the orphans were entrusted, a generation of emperor Zhu Zhanji set out for the west. Because of the great burial of the emperor, no one cared about the life experience of Wu and his mother, so it was accepted by everyone. Queen Sun did not break her word, and soon made Zhu Qiyu king, and built a palace for their mother and son to live in. Originally, the king and mother could spend their lives in peace, but the smoke from the civil fort changed their lives. First, the king was ordered to serve as a prison army during his personal expedition on the royal shelf. Later, due to the capture of Yingzong, Prince Zhu Jianjun (later Zhu Jianshen) was only two years old, and the country did not have a long king. King Zhu Qiyu was pushed to the front desk. Under the influence of Queen Sun, he succeeded to the throne, respecting Yingzong as the emperor's father, and establishing Yingzong's eldest son as the emperor's father.
As early as Zhu Qiyu was in power, the debate about "moving south" broke out. Imperial academy's assistant minister program (Xu Youzhen, who later participated in the change of the door) first proposed to move south according to the change of the astronomical phenomena, which was supported by some timid ministers. However, since both the ancestral temple and the mausoleum were in Beijing, Yu Qian immediately rejected his proposal and got the support of Zhu Qiyu. Zhu Qiyu appreciates Yu Qian's ability and courage, and Yu Qian also appreciates the young man's decision. Both of them admire each other in their hearts. The subsequent bloody case at the meridian gate deepened their feelings. Wang Zhen, the eunuch prized by Yingzong, made the whole court malodorous. Whenever ministers oppose Wang Zhen, they are either dead or demoted. A torrent has been brewing in the hearts of his ministers. Finally, when Yingzong was captured and Wang Zhen was killed, his ministers could pour out their dissatisfaction. Ministers knelt at the meridian gate and cried in protest, demanding the punishment of Wang Zhen's henchmen. At this time, Jin Yiwei, Wang Zhen's best friend, ordered Ma Shun to come out and stop it, and immediately started work. When Wang Cheng saw it, he was afraid of mutiny and was ready to run away. At this moment, Yu Qian stood up. He grabbed Wang Cheng's sleeve and explained to Wang Cheng that the minister's door was not open for the king. As long as Wang Cheng can punish Wang Zhen's henchmen, his ministers are willing to help Wang Cheng complete the great cause of providing pictures. So, Zhu Qiyu ordered the two close friends of Wang Zhen in the palace to be brought out and handed over to his ministers, who were also killed on the spot, which shows the deep hatred of Wang Zhen.
After Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, many loyal ministers who were excluded by Wang Zhen were able to return to the temple, and bureaucracy was one of them. At the same time, under the command of Yu Qian, preparations for defending the capital began. The grain in Tongzhou was rushed to Beijing, and the fortifications inside and outside the capital were also strengthened. Yu Qian also personally practiced the new army and released Shi Heng to fight. At the same time, Emperor Jingtai sent a letter to the Ming Dynasty, and commanders from all walks of life were not allowed to communicate privately. In this way, they also tried to use Yingzong to defraud the property of the Ming Dynasty, and the city plan failed, so they led a large number of Walla cavalry into the capital in disgust. Because Yu Qian was fully prepared before the war, the army and civilians in Beijing were unprecedentedly United, and the leading soldiers fought bravely, which finally dealt a heavy blow to the Vara cavalry outside Beijing and had to return to the grassland first. The stormy Ming regime finally stabilized after the First World War.
Compared with the orthodox dynasty, the politics of Jingtai dynasty should be said to be relatively clear, but Emperor Jingtai made a major mistake in dealing with the problems of British Sect and Prince, which also led to his tragic ending. After Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, he made the mistake of Song Gaozong, unwilling to welcome the emperor back to Beijing, fearing that his position would be affected, and therefore some nasty things happened with courtiers. At this time, Yu Qian stood up again. He promised that the return of the emperor would not affect his position. He hoped that the emperor would send a special envoy to see him. Emperor Jingtai was finally persuaded, but he just sent messengers to find out the news and didn't ask for it. Who knows that Yang Shan, an emissary sent on the spur of the moment, actually welcomed the emperor back and cooked uncooked rice. Emperor Jingtai had to accept this fact, but even so, he reduced the etiquette of greeting, welcomed Yingzong back to Beijing, and put him under house arrest in Nannei. In dealing with the return of British Sect, Emperor Jingtai was too narrow-minded, which was also the biggest stain in his life.
After the return of Yingzong, Emperor Jingtai sent someone to take strict care of it. Sure enough, as Yu Qian said, the return of Yingzong did not affect the throne of Jingtai Emperor. However, Emperor Jingtai was not satisfied. He not only wanted to be emperor himself, but also hoped that his son Zhu Jianji could replace Prince Zhu Jianjun of Yingzong as the legal heir to the throne, so he directed the farce of bribing courtiers. Emperor Jingtai instructed eunuchs to bribe important ministers at that time, hoping that they would stand on their side in rebuilding the Chu army. The courtiers were unwilling to openly oppose Emperor Jingtai, so they had to turn a blind eye to this matter. In this way, the prince was abolished as a king, and Zhu Jianji, the father and son of Jingtai Emperor, was made a prince.
Who knows, Zhu Jianji died young, and Emperor Jingtai suffered a heavy mental blow. Fortunately, Emperor Jingtai is still in his prime, and the problem of children is not very worrying for him. It has been eight years since Emperor Jingtai suddenly became seriously ill, and the problem of building storage has become a hot issue. However, the opinions of all ministers are not uniform. Some people advocate the re-establishment of Zhu Jianjun, the king of interpretation, while others advocate the establishment of Wang Xiang. Suddenly, the news that Emperor Jingtai was getting better came from the imperial palace, so the ministers prepared to discuss with Emperor Jingtai the next day. However, Jingtai Di fell asleep soon after getting up the next morning because of his serious illness. Ministers didn't wait for Jingtai Emperor, so they made an appointment to come back tomorrow morning. Who knows, on this night, the famous change of seizing the door broke out. Emperor Jingtai died soon and was buried in Xishan, Beijing according to the ceremony of the prince. Yu Qian and Wang Wen were killed, and the rule of Emperor Jingtai in Ming Dynasty came to an end. Emperor Jingtai supported Yu Qian in opposing the southward migration, won the battle of Beijing, reused the persecuted loyal ministers of the orthodox dynasty, saved the day and made contributions to the post-war recovery of the Ming Dynasty. However, he was too stingy to welcome back the British Sect, and at the same time he pushed his luck on the issue of the prince. In the end, Emperor Jingtai's life ended in tragedy, and his merits and demerits can only be left to future generations to comment.
