Why was Zhu Youxiao, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, called the illiterate emperor?

Zhu Youxiao, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was like his father. He was also a short-lived emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His life was only twenty-three years, and he reigned for seven years, but he witnessed the decline of the Ming Dynasty. After the death of his father Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, succeeded to the throne with the support of many ministers. At this time, Zhu Youxiao was only sixteen years old, but he had to face the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

The picture comes from the internet.

After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty began to be extremely dark, and Zhu Youxiao had no outstanding ability to govern the country. Instead, listening to the adulterer's slanderers finally shook Daming's century-old country. Later, Zhu Youxiao began to stay in the palace, ignoring his national affairs.

Zhu Youxiao, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was born in 1604. Although he was the eldest son and his mother loved him deeply, he was jealous and his biological mother was killed. When the Ming emperor was young, he was humiliated badly by Li. In the long run, he gradually formed a cautious character, which was very unfavorable to the life of Zhu Youxiao, the western emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Zhu Changluo didn't get the attention of Wanli. Later, after his death, Ming Xizong officially acceded to the throne, but at this time Li began to blackmail Ming Xizong, and finally Li was defeated. However, from then on, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty began to listen to Keshi, the wet nurse, and Wei Zhongxian, his lover. Their growing power threatened the peace of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, witnessed the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. Later, he chose to escape, stay in the palace, stay indoors, join the carpenter and create many puppets. Later, Zhu Youxiao began to seek immortality, but in the end he died of taking Dan medicine.

Is Mingzong really just illiterate?

Zhu Youxiao was not only a carpenter emperor, but also called illiterate emperor by later generations. As the king of Zhu Youxiao, many people are not convinced that he can't read. Is Zhu Youxiao really just illiterate?

First of all, we should start with Zhu Youxiao's identity. As the eldest son of Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao is also known as the grandson of Emperor Wanli. I can think of his noble status. However, Zhu Youxiao didn't get the attention of Emperor Wanli, and at the same time, Zhu Changluo died young, so the study of Zhu Youxiao has been ignored. At the age of sixteen, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, so he was also called the illiterate emperor.

Whether Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was really illiterate has always been a concern of many people. Many scholars think that Zhu Youxiao loves to play and doesn't study hard. At the same time, Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo paid little attention to the study of Zhu Youxiao. Naturally, Zhu Youxiao became illiterate. There are some convincing examples that Emperor Amin Zhu Youxiao couldn't understand. As an emperor, Zhu Youxiao in the west knew that he had no culture, but he didn't want to be influenced by courtiers, so he didn't pretend to understand it in court, but made a lot of jokes. Once, a vassal state came to Daming and presented a piece of paper. Zhu Youxiao couldn't read the words on the paper, so he fought with the envoys of the vassal state and finally reached Lacrimosa.

In fact, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty was really illiterate. At least, he is in the emperor's house and the king of a country. There must be many scholars and celebrities around him to assist him, which may not be effective, but it will not become illiterate. At best, we can only say that Zhu Youxiao's cultural level is relatively low.

Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian

Zhu Youxiao, the Western Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a rather groggy emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, Wei Zhongxian, a famous eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, also appeared. Wei Zhongxian's life is basically thanks to Zhu Youxiao, the Western Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The relationship between Ming Jiazong and Wei Zhongxian is natural, but the relationship between them is not only that simple, but even a little concubines.

After Ming Taizu Xi ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian took over the heart of Ming Taizu Xi with guest F.

Ming Sect and Wei Zhongxian can't be equated with the ordinary relationship between monarch and minister, because Keshi, the wet nurse of Ming Xizong, was betrothed to Wei Zhongxian, and Keshi colluded with Ming Xizong in many romantic aspects. In a sense, Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian are both lovers of Keshi. After Xizong ascended the throne in his early years, a very virtuous eunuch Wang An appeared around him, and Wei Zhongxian began to join the Wang An family, and gradually got the opportunity to make a name for himself. Because of the close relationship between Ming Xizong and Keshi, Wei Zhongxian also successfully used Keshi to gain the trust of Ming Xizong. In the later period of Ming Xizong's rule, Wei Zhongxian basically became the ruler of North Korea, and Ming Xizong was a puppet. Wei Zhongxian's ambition expanded bit by bit, and he began to destroy the descendants of Ming Xizong, so Ming Xizong finally lost his descendants and could only pass the throne to his younger brother Zhu Youjian.

After Xizong's death, the relationship with Wei Zhongxian came to an end. When Ming Jiazong died, he didn't fulfill Wei Zhongxian's wishes. Wei Zhongxian originally tried to use pregnant women outside the palace to usurp the throne, but was stopped by Queen Zhang Yan and finally passed the throne to Zhu Youjian. After Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he began to punish Wei Zhongxian.
