Zhu Youxiao was the 15 th emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty. He was also called "the carpenter's son of heaven" because he reused eunuch Wei Zhongxian and loved carpentry. Zhu Youxiao was born in thirty-three years of Wanli. His father is Emperor Amin Zhu Changluo, and his grandfather is Emperor Wanli who has not been abroad for more than 30 years.
Ming Shenzong died in forty-eight years of Wanli, and only one month after Ming Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he died of taking red pills. At the age of sixteen, Zhu Youxiao became the emperor of Daming.
During the reign of Zhu Youxiao, it was the turbulent period in the late Ming Dynasty. The Manchu aristocrats who rose between Heishui and Baishan, under the leadership of the leader Nurhachi, invaded Liaodong continuously and won successively in the war with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty lost territory in Liaodong, and the party struggle within the imperial court became increasingly fierce. As the Lindong Party, which made great contributions to Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne, gradually grasped the power of the imperial court. A force dissatisfied with Lindong Party gradually gathered around eunuch Wei Zhongxian and launched a fierce struggle with Lindong Party. In the end, the Yen Party Group won a great victory in this struggle, while Lindong Party was defeated, either executed or dismissed. Although Yan Party won, the imperial court also lost the whole Liaodong due to party struggle.
Zhu Youxiao, Emperor of the Apocalypse, who reigned for seven years in A.D. 1627, finally died of falling into the water and getting sick. As he left no children, Zhu Youjian, the emperor's fifth brother, was ordered to inherit the throne before his death. After Zhu Youjian acceded to the throne, he tried to respect his brother as "filial piety, dedicated to the emperor of Zhang Wenxiang, Wu Jingzi and Muzhuang", and the temple name was "Xizong". Posthumous title is the final conclusion of the previous generation, because most of the kings of later generations are the last generation. Judging from posthumous title, Xiang, Jing, Zhuang and Yong are all very high. Because Zhu Youjian inherited the unification and his brother had no children, his evaluation of his brother was excellent.
Judging from the temple number, it is easy to misunderstand that "Xi" is a bad word, but it is not. In Yi Zhou Shu's Interpretation of the Law, "Xi: Meritorious deeds make people say Xi", that is, Zhu Youjian thought his brother had great achievements when he was in office, so he chose the temple name of "Xi Zong".
So, did Zhu Youxiao really make a difference when he was in office? Or is Zhu Youjian honored as Xizong only out of gratitude to his brother?
Zhu Youxiao's strategic vision is still very unique in history. For example, Zhu Youxiao made almost no mistakes in the judgment of Liaodong issue, which can't be compared with the later Chongzhen Imperial City. Secondly, Zhu Youxiao was able to handle the party-government relationship in Lindong during the Wei Zhongxian period.
At that time, in Liaodong area, the late Jin Dynasty was eyeing the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Zhu Youxiao didn't do nothing, and discussed the coping strategies with ministers. Yuan Chonghuan made a letter, thinking that as long as the city was built in Liaodong, the latter could be defeated. In the face of such commemoration, Zhu Youxiao is very cautious.
Later facts proved that Zhu Youxiao's point of view was not wrong at all. At that time, there were six questions in Zhu Youxiao's reply to Yuan Chonghuan's memorial: "But how to return it so that the army and the people would not harm each other?" ? How to allocate funds so that the agricultural war will not be ignored? What kind of exercise will make the gap between farmers and soldiers? What is the difference? Let everyone work in the camp. What are the reasons for restricting the army? What kind of insurance won't steal vegetables? "Zhu Youxiao must face these six problems. Yuan Chonghuan's idea is good, but its implementation is different.
Later, Jin invaded the western Liaoning corridor many times, destroying fields and robbing grain, but the effect was good. Yuan Chonghuan's idea is to hoard food for the latter. Secondly, the cabinet system appeared in the Ming Dynasty, when there were many powerful departments. For example, the familiar East Factory, West Factory and Royal Guards, these departments and even ministers were afraid of three points at that time.
At that time, Wei Zhongxian gradually ingratiated himself with Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse, which made Wei Zhongxian reach the peak of his life. You know, Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse, the Hakkas, had power at that time. Because Zhu Youxiao was brought up by her, Zhu Youxiao has deep feelings for this Hakka nurse. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian's ingratiation with the Hakkas undoubtedly led him to the peak of his life.
Wei Zhongxian and Ye gradually clashed. Facing one side, Wei Zhongxian's ability is not enough, and Ye is also a big shot in the DPRK at this time. In the face of the relationship between Wei Zhongxian and Ye, we must deal with it well, otherwise there will be big problems in the Ming Dynasty. In the face of Wei Zhongxian's expanding influence, Ye Xiang reported Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, I replied to Ye: "It is very unusual to raise a court, and Qing is different from a courtier. It is appropriate to make urgent adjustments to dispel the doubts of ministers. " The meaning of this sentence is simple. Ye's duty is to mediate the contradiction between the minister and SiLi supervisor, not impeach Wei Zhongxian. At this time, Wei Zhongxian was safe and sound, which made the party struggle tend to be balanced.
Zhu Youxiao, as an emperor, may not be called sandwich martial arts, but if he is regarded as an ordinary person, he actually has many bright spots. For example, he has a lot of research on carpentry and architecture, and everything he makes is exquisite. If he is now, he may also be called a grandmaster. Even as an emperor, he valued Wei Zhongxian very much. Although people often talk about his fatuity, it has to be said that Wei Zhongxian did form a check and balance with Lindong Party, which is conducive to restricting the power of Lindong Party. He also promoted and reused Yuan Keli, the ambassador of Deng Laizhi, and other generals to resist the invasion of the late Jin Dynasty. Although Zhu Youxiao himself is indecisive, Lindong Party always gives instructions on state affairs, but it is relatively tough in foreign wars. From this point of view, although Zhu Youxiao is famous as the "carpenter emperor", he is not a stupid and absurd person. We should look at historical figures in many ways and praise and criticize them appropriately.
