Zhu_tang, Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, was born on the third day of July in the sixth year of Chenghua and died on the seventh day of May in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi. He reigned for 18 years and was named Hongzhi. His father, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, was a weak and incompetent emperor who loved Concubine Wan Gui very much. Concubine Wan Gui had no children, and her dark revenge led her to eliminate every concubine who was pregnant with dragon seed. Zhu Zhentang's mother Ji was tortured to death in this way. Later, Concubine Wan Gui tried to murder Zhu_tang several times, but unfortunately she failed.
After Zhu_tang finally ascended to the throne after many hardships, during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, he spent his whole life trying to reverse the corruption situation in the country, expelling Li Zicheng, Kuai Gang and other people who had committed corruption and bribery in the Chenghua Dynasty and made their fortunes through flattery. of corrupt officials. At the same time, Zhu Zhentang also appointed a large number of upright and capable people, such as Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng, Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, etc.
Zhu_tang advocates speaking freely, being generous and kind, frugal and quiet, and diligent and righteous. Emperor Xiaozong's diligence finally paid off. In the Hongzhi Dynasty, officials were honest, appointed, restrained, diligent, frugal, and restful. It was a rare peaceful period in the history of the Ming Dynasty when the economy was prosperous and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Shi Hongzhi is known as Zhongxing.
Among them, Xiaozong Zhu_tang was one of the only normal emperors in the Ming Dynasty, and the only monarch who made great efforts in the mid-Ming Dynasty. Zhu_tang's achievements are indeed outstanding, but what touches me most is his generosity and kindness. Whoever he was, he was generous even to his enemies. When Zhu Zhen ascended the throne, Concubine Wan Guifei was already dead. Who did Zheng Wan and Xu Lan offend at that time? The imperial concubine has a younger brother named Wan who does many evil things.
According to the law at that time, Zhu_tang robbed Wanxi and imprisoned him, and then released Wanxi according to law. Zhu_tang knew very well that Concubine Wan Guifei sent people to kill him when he was born, and killed his mother when he was 6 years old. After he was named a prince, he was still marginalized and framed by Concubine Wan Gui. As an emperor, he never enjoyed any happiness in his life, but suffered many sins and countless vicious injuries, but in the end he chose selfless forgiveness. This is the magnanimity and magnanimity of Mingjun!
In addition, in the early days of the dynasty, some ministers slipped and fell on the ground while walking and lost their manners. Xiaozong never confessed; if there are any typos in the play, do not correct them; after the banquet, the officials lost their manners, Also comfort the numbers and don't make them panic. In order to facilitate the return of local officials at night, Xiaozong personally issued an order. From now on, officials in Beijing, regardless of their position, must return at night, and ordered all soldiers to clear the air. If you encounter such a Renjun, even though you have been massacred, do you have any regrets!
But as an emperor, it is absolutely impossible to have no fault at all. Even the democratic leader Xiaozong Zhu_tang did many stupid things, such as trusting the eunuch Li Guang, being too generous and illegal to some courtiers, being keen on fasting and practicing, being lazy in government affairs in the middle years of Hongzhi, etc. However, none of this can conceal Zhu_tang's glory as a monarch. In addition, these phenomena were fundamentally changed in the late Hongzhi period.
In the last few years of his life, this honest minister of North Korea continued to make suggestions. Zhu_tang began to constantly reflect on his previous actions and deeply regretted the stupid things he had done. . So Zhu Zhentang began to vigorously rectify the Chao Gang. He worked day and night regardless of his health, but the excessive work intensity completely wore down his body. In his 30s, he was seriously ill and dying.
But he still worked hard as always, regardless of the deterioration of his health. In the end, he used his own efforts to make the country's affairs better and better, and Hongzhi ZTE also reached its peak, but at this time, Zhu_tang's body could no longer hold on. In May of the 18th year of Hongzhi, Zhu_tang, who was only 36 years old, died of illness. After Xiao Zong#0
Although in terms of character, Zhu_tang can not be compared with Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty and Kangxi of Qing Dynasty; in terms of knowledge, Zhu_tang can not be compared to Liang, and in terms of merit, he is far inferior to Qin Huang and Han Dynasty. Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu and so on. However, among the more than 400 emperors of ancient China, the one that impressed me the most was that he could not compare himself with others in terms of character, knowledge and achievements. He is the greatest emperor in Chinese history!
In ancient Chinese history, there were many great emperors, such as Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, but none was greater than Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty. Mingzong dedicated everything to his country, even his own life. In fact, he didn't die from the disease, but died alive.
Ming Xiaozong was not only a good emperor who was diligent and caring for the people, but also a generous and kind person. He is also a good man who only loves his wife. He only had one woman in his life, Queen Zhang, and no other concubines! A good minister is a distant man; a pity for the people is a Taoist priest. Cultivate a moral character that is calm, generous in treating others, and thrifty in cultivating oneself. It is best to die before you die.
What a good emperor and a good man should do has been done almost perfectly. He spent his whole life trying to make the declining Ming Dynasty present a colorful sunset. As an emperor, Zhu Zhentang rarely experienced the honor of the emperor, but assumed all the responsibilities of the emperor. He told us a famous saying in his life: Don’t ask what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for the country!
Now when it comes to emperors, people think of Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Tang and Song. Most people don't know who Zhu_tang is. This great emperor seems to have been forgotten. Time may wear away the corners of history, but it will never erase the memories in history books. History will never be forgotten. In ancient China, there was such a great emperor.
