Life in Ming Yingzong and Zhu Qizhen is complicated. Is Zhu Qizhen a good emperor?

How can I put it? Call him a bad king. He really didn't do anything to ruin the country and the people. Call him a wise king. He made himself a prisoner, and the palace became the second throne, which made the Ming empire turbulent. He is not a promising king. Objectively speaking, Ming Yingzong was a good emperor in essence, but he was somewhat biased in the process.

In the two changes of Ming Yingzong Civil Fort when he was emperor, Ming Yingzong used his personal expedition to Mongolia, but he was an emperor who was completely longer than a harem wife. Don't say marching war, it is estimated that no one has ever seen the murderer, so this personal expedition is destined to be the result that Ming Yingzong wants. However, no one thought that Ming Yingzong was so unlucky that he didn't fight much. He actually delivered himself to the Walla people, and then he became the only captured emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

What can I say? If Zhu Yuanzhang were still alive and saw this scene, it is estimated that he would kick Judy out of the family tree because he can't afford to lose this person. In other words, Ming Yingzong's being a prisoner is not only a joke that the Mongols relish, but also a disaster that the Ming Empire could not bear. The most direct harm is that the Walla people threatened Ming Yingzong, marched south, and killed all the way to the capital, almost destroying the Ming empire.

Later, the Ming Empire saved itself, made Ming Yingzong the emperor's father, and then defeated the Walla people, which solved the disaster of national subjugation caused by Ming Yingzong. Originally, everything was settled. Unexpectedly, Ming Yingzong launched a sudden change, pulling his seriously ill brother Ming Daizong down from the throne, and then became emperor himself. Because the process and reason of the second ascension are unorthodox, that is, it is not in line with etiquette.

Therefore, after Ming Yingzong ascended the throne again, he was anxious to stabilize his throne, so he began to wield a butcher's knife at courtiers loyal to Ming Daizong. For example, he killed Yu Qian, who saved the Ming empire, and drove Ming Daizong's forces out of the previous dynasty. After that, he was still uneasy and began to reuse his cronies, that is, those who supported him to ascend to the throne again.

There are many villains among these people. Because of these little people, the former dynasty of the Ming Empire caused a lot of turmoil, and even affected the stability of the Ming Empire. As an emperor, Ming Yingzong was not ignorant of his cronies, but he was more afraid of losing the throne again than cronyism of his cronies, so he turned a blind eye to their behavior choices.

Although Ming Yingzong, the emperor with high personal accomplishment, did have a black belly after returning to the Ming harem from Walla, objectively speaking, he can't be entirely blamed. You know, if it weren't for his personal expedition, he would still be an emperor on high, and he could not be tied up in front of the front by the Mongols and humiliated. Later, he returned to the Ming harem, was suspected by his younger brother Ming Daizong, and was placed under house arrest in the Nangong. His life is very difficult, and he is often worried that Ming Daizong will kill him.

I have to say that Ming Yingzong's personal accomplishment is really high. He was captured by the Mongols for a year, blowing cold wind on the northern grassland, which made him lose the dignity of the emperor, but he still had the dignity of Ming Di in front of the Mongols and finally won the respect of the Mongols. After he returned to the Ming harem, he struggled, but he still moved the Ming generals who guarded him and finally asked them to help him change the palace.

Visible Ming Yingzong this person, he has great personal charm. So he can impress his enemies and courtiers in Ming Daizong, which is also the basis of his second reset. Moreover, after he ascended the throne again, he also released Wen Jian's descendants, so that Wen Jian could live aboveboard in the Ming Dynasty and abolished the cruel system of martyrdom of the empress of the Ming Dynasty.

From these, we can see that Ming Yingzong is kind and reasonable. He who knows the sufferings of others is a good emperor. He is not a bad king, nor a tyrant who killed his eyes and had no pity in his heart for the sake of the throne. This is the embodiment of his personal cultivation and the essence of him, so he can get a posthumous title influenced by Britain after his death, which shows that he is really a good emperor in the hearts of his subjects.

Objectively speaking, when Ming Yingzong was emperor, he didn't make much achievements, and even pulled himself across the river (captured), even worse than Ming Daizong. But he's not bad at heart. If he had not been caught, he would have been a good emperor. Unfortunately, his life was too tortuous, so he was so biased and made the Ming empire turbulent.
