There are countless emperors in Chinese history, and almost all of them raised 3,000 beauties in their harems. Therefore, many emperors fell into the obsession with beauty, slacked off on national politics, and frequently indulged in the palace. This also left a good story for the ancient "spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king does not rise early". But in Chinese history, there was an emperor who was scolded for not ruling for 30 years on the grounds that he was unwell. It wasn't until archaeologists opened his tomb that the truth came out. This emperor, who has not been in court for 30 years, is the Wanli Emperor. According to historical records, he always said that his legs were uncomfortable on the grounds that he was unwell. Despite this, there are still many ministers who are convinced of this, believing that it is just an excuse for him to indulge in beauty, and they are quite dissatisfied with him. It wasn't until archaeologists opened the tomb of the Wanli Emperor that their true condition was discovered. He was not lying flat in a coffin, but curled up, suspiciously in pain.
Archaeologists adjusted the posture of the Wanli Emperor and found that his legs were not equal in length, and his right leg was significantly shorter than his left. It is speculated that it was due to a long-term illness that prevented the emperor from attending the court meeting. This scene cleared the truth of hundreds of years of infamy. Although it may be understandable that he did not go to court due to health reasons, the Wanli Emperor still silently handled the affairs of the court, reviewed the chapters every day, and the government was under his control. In particular, the Ming Dynasty cabinet assisted, "Wanli Zhongxing" enabled the Ming Dynasty to continue, even during his absence from the dynasty, the Ming Dynasty still won three national wars in a row, laying the foundation for a hundred years in Asia at that time. It can be seen that the talent of the Wanli Emperor is very outstanding. There is a theory among historians that the reason why the Wanli Emperor did not go to court was because he was tired of the deceit of officialdom.
