Why do some people say that most emperors in the Ming Dynasty were bad emperors? Is that really the case?

When it comes to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, everyone will say that they are basically wonderful, and most of them are fatuous and incompetent. On the contrary, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were mostly diligent for the people. Actually, this is too arbitrary. How do you say that the Ming emperor was cruel and fatuous? Look at the emperors of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the emperors of Five Dynasties and Ten Countries, and make an objective evaluation.

Someone summed up the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and once laughed at them. They say that the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang abused heroes, thieves, fat pigs, lame losers, Qiu, and became a prisoner, and his Oedipus complex, his monogamy, the juvenile Zhu Houzhao problem, and his immortal emperor Zhu Zaidong were hollowed out by debauchery.

For example, Ming Wuzong set up a leopard room and played around all day, and his reputation was similar to that of Shang Zhouwang's wine pool meat forest. But in the end, he still didn't understand. Zhu Houzhao is not a soft-footed shrimp, he is also proficient in riding and fighting. On one occasion, he went to the front to fight with a trusted eunuch, Fu Xuan, and his entourage staggered because of marching fatigue. However, the face of Zhu Houzhao's family has not changed, which shows that they are in good health. How can they play without a good figure? But just because I rowed into the water, I caught a cold and died! It really makes no sense.

So the later Emperor Jiajing was too scared to live in the palace. He has been hiding in Nangong Temple, but he was almost strangled by the maid-in-waiting. You said that the palace was scary, so in the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor was not obedient, the civil service minister would let the emperor hang up inexplicably and then set up another one. Poor people like Wu Zong and the Apocalypse all died because they fell into the water.

Compared with the Qing dynasty, the Ming emperor was centralized, but he could not monopolize the power. If the civil servants in the cabinet don't agree with the emperor, they can call you back mercilessly, just like Emperor Jiajing wants to make his father emperor, but the minister doesn't agree, and the emperor can't help it. The Qing emperor was different. His power is more concentrated. He has to do whatever the emperor tells him to do, and all his ministers are slaves. So no one dared to object to the emperor wasting money to build a garden in Jiangnan, because everyone who opposed it was dead.

Therefore, the evaluation of a dynasty should not only look at the emperor, but also look at the culture, economy, science and technology and people's life of which dynasty. No matter how diligent the emperor is, you can't say that he is a monarch, and vice versa! Please leave a comment if you have anything to say!
