Speaking of Ming Yingzong, we must be inseparable from two things, that is, the change of civil fort and the change of seizing the door. Because of Ming Yingzong's wrong decision, the elite of the Ming court was lost, and the three most elite battalions were also lost in this battle. What's more, the Ming dynasty almost lost this time and was destroyed by Vala. If Dai Zong and Yu Qian had not cooperated sincerely, the Ming Dynasty would have been conquered for one hundred years!
Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and other disloyal courtiers caused the change. Zhu Qiyu, the ancestral court, was overthrown and Zhu Qizhen, the English court, was restored. Later, Shi Heng was afraid that Yu Qian would be reused by the British Sect, thus affecting his future. He strongly encouraged Yingzong to kill Yu Qian. Yingzong had just been reset and the throne was unstable. Although he didn't have the heart to kill Yu Qian, he could only follow the advice of Shi Heng and others and ordered to kill Yu Qian, the pillar of the country.
It can be said that Ming Yingzong is really a bad king just by looking at these two things. Because he favored Wang Zhen, an evil villain, more than 200,000 loyal Ming soldiers died in vain at the hands of Vala, hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered by Vala, and the Ming Dynasty almost died at his hands. In addition, because of him, Yu Qian, a loyal minister who saved Daming, was killed unjustly. As a result, Yingzong almost ruined the country, killed the loyal emperor and called him a bad king. It was really too much.
However, although Ming Yingzong did a few stupid things in his life, on the whole, he was not an out-and-out bad king.
Compared with Tang Xuanzong, who was enlightened in the early stage and fatuous in the later stage, Ming Yingzong did much less harm to the country, because Ming Yingzong was fatuous in the early stage and wise in the later stage.
After the change of seizing the door, Ming Yingzong, who ascended the throne again, lived up to the chance that God gave him again. He began to be diligent in political affairs, actively repaired all the mistakes he had made before, and tried to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous again.
After the restoration of the British Sect, Li Xian, Wang Ao and other sages were reused, and then the rebellion in Cao Shi was put down, and traitors such as Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang were eradicated. As a result, the court atmosphere began to turn from greed to Qing dynasty, and the national strength of the Ming dynasty was booming for a while.
In addition, Yingzong changed his lazy character and began to be diligent. Yingzong once told the Record of Li Xian about his daily life. Worship the sky in the morning, worship the ancestors and look at the DPRK. After dinner, read the newspaper. Those who make a good decision are approved, and those who can be discussed are sent to Mr. Wang for consideration? As can be seen from the above, in the years when Yingzong was more orthodox, he was really diligent.
In addition, after the restoration of the British Sect, a series of things were done that made people feel very cordial, such as ordering the release of prisoners who had been detained since the Yongle Dynasty? Building Shu Ren? (Zhu Wengui, the youngest son of Wen Jian); Restore the name of Xuande Dynasty, Hu Huanghou (the birth mother of Daizong); Ordered to stop the martyrdom of concubines after the emperor's death and so on. Among these benevolent policies, especially Yingzong ordered the abolition of the martyrdom system, which was praised by later generations. Ming history praised it. Can the success of virtue become the law of later generations? .
As mingyue said in the book those things in the Ming dynasty:? Yingzong's life was not glorious. He pretended to be a treacherous villain, lost the battle, was a prisoner, was a prisoner and killed a loyal minister. If he is a good emperor, he really doesn't even believe in ghosts. But he's a good man, okay? Yingzong was not a good emperor, but he was by no means a bad emperor. He was one of the few good emperors in the feudal history of China.
Since ancient times, emperors in China rarely really put down their bodies to try to understand the living environment of the people under their rule. For them, as long as these people don't rebel, other problems can be ignored directly. However, the British Sect is different. He has the ability that most emperors don't have, that is, to understand the suffering of others.
For example, Yingzong was imprisoned for seven years, so he sympathized with Shu Ren, who was imprisoned by Emperor Yongle all his life. He understands the pain of losing his freedom in Shu Ren. I can't bear to kiss you. Can he choose to release the sword that has been imprisoned for more than 50 years after that?
For example, Yingzong understood the fear and pain of those imperial secretaries who were killed innocently, so before he died, he specially said something to Xianzong, who was about to inherit the throne. Since the Emperor Gao collapsed, many people died in the harem. I don't have the heart to do this. I don't want to be killed after I die. You must remember that this can't happen in the future! ? The testamentary edict asked Xianzong to abolish the system of human sacrifice and give the imperial secretary a chance to survive.
Therefore, it was the above benevolent policies pursued after the restoration of Yingzong that finally saved his good reputation without leaving a bad reputation.
