In the tenth year of Xuande (1435), Zhu Zhanji, who was only 38 years old, died, and Zhu Qizhen, who was nine years old, ascended the throne. At this time, the eunuch Wang Zhen was extremely looking forward to it: as Zhu Qizhen's attendant, he had formed a deep friendship with Zhu Qizhen since he was a childOf course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Wang Zhen, because Zhu Zhanji left five ministers for his son, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others, told him righteously: You are just a eunuch, just do your own business, you don't have to meddle in the affairs of the court. What's even more ruthless is that Zhu Qizhen's grandmother, Empress Dowager Zhang, simply called Wang Zhen directly and told him in front of everyone: If you dare to meddle in national affairs again, you will be killed!And he reprimanded him every once in a while, and Wang Zhen at that time probably wanted to die. But fortunately, Wang Zhen has always been firm in his heart: the one who lives to the end is the last to laugh. 7 years later, Mrs. Zhang finally passed away, Yang Shiqi, the minister of life, died, Yang Rong was too old to go home to retire, Wang Zhen can be said to have turned over as a serf and sang, and decided to realize his great ambition. In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), the Mongols invaded the Ming Dynasty in four ways under the leadership of Yexian. As soon as Wang Zhen heard the news, the few male hormones left in his body suddenly exploded: Who said that eunuchs are inferior to men?Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away, and they will be beaten. Of course, he can't make the decision on this matter, and he still has to agree with Zhu Qizhen. Of course, with the relationship between the two of them, Zhu Qizhen has nothing to say, and in order to express his support for Wang Zhen, Zhu Qizhen decided to take the royal expedition in person. Everyone was stunned: what about kidding?Then began to advise: The horse Jingyuan has already sent troops, the emperor is at home and waits for good news, young people should not be too impulsive. But Zhu Qizhen was already boiling with the blood of the big cake ** painted by Wang Zhen at this time, and immediately went back: he is not angry and still called a young man. Everyone knows the rest of the matter, in the battle of Tumubao, the 500,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty were lost, Wang Zhen was killed, and Zhu Qizhen was also taken prisoner. This is in addition to the two Huiqin sects who became prisoners in the history of Jingkang's change, and another one has changed from an emperor to a prisoner. Even I didn't expect it myself, I just wanted to rob it, but I didn't expect to get the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this a splash of wealth?immediately blackmailed Daming**: Send money, or tear up the ticket. To tell the truth, Daming still has people who understand, they know that this group of sheep herding guys will not have the final say, and there must be a second sum of money, and sooner or later this empire will be hollowed out. And they don't just ask for money, everyone knows that they covet the splendid rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. At the critical juncture, Comrade Yu Qian, whom we are well aware, stepped forward and organized the battle to defend Beijing. I was also very angry first: Your emperor is in my hands?Can't you stop a little?I really can't, because at this time, Zhu Qizhen has become the emperor, and his younger brother Zhu Qiyu has been proclaimed the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 
In other words, Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, has been abolished, think about it, who cares about an outdated and unangry emperor?Therefore, we must lose first. In the end, the vigorous defense of Beijing was won, and the Ming Dynasty was jubilant, but for Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, the Ming Dynasty's attitude was ambiguous. According to Zhu Qiyu's attitude, it is very simple: let him herd sheep on the grassland. Such an idea is understandable, after all, power is really too stimulating, no matter who is addicted to it. But Wang Zhi, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, thinks that we have defeated the Mongols, and it is too embarrassing for our emperor to still eat and drink foam there, so it is better to take it back, right?Of course, Zhu Qiyu disagreed. Wang Zhi explained to him sincerely: [Your Majesty's throne has been decided, the Emperor Taishang is still there, and he will no longer attend the affairs of the world. But this sentence annoyed Zhu Qiyu again, because Wang Zhi said it too obviously, and directly poked the emperor's lungs: Are you saying that I am greedy for power?What the labor and management said they would not do at the beginning, did you not force the labor and management to do it?There's no way, this matter can only be put aside for now. But first of all, I really didn't want to raise Zhu Qizhen anymore, so I sent someone to send a letter to Daming: Take your Emperor Taishang back, we don't raise idlers on the grassland. So someone put taking Zhu Qizhen back on the agenda, and it was no surprise that Zhu Qiyu was angry again: [Repeatedly think of it, why not?]You take this out at every turn, what the hell do you want to do?No one expected that the new emperor would lose his temper so easily, and he was stunned on the spot. Yu Qian still stood up and said in an extremely slow but categorical tone: [The heavenly position has been decided, Ning Fu has him!]Yu Qian, his demeanor is very similar to the way he was angry at the beginning of the suggestion to move south, he gave Daming a reassurance pill in the first place, and now Zhu Qiyu wants to believe him?Zhu Qiyu is not stupid, the reason why he had an ambiguous attitude on this matter of picking up his brother from the beginning was because he did not get an accurate reply from Yu Qian. Now Yu Qian, who is now famous, told him that he can sit on his dragon chair with confidence, what else is he worried about?So, Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing. Although Zhu Qizhen is young, he is not a fool, from the moment he entered the city of Beijing, he knew that the kind of relationship with his brother that he used to be close to could never be regained. But what Zhu Qizhen didn't expect the most was that the place that his younger brother arranged for him was Nangong, and he was imprisoned. In fact, this time Zhu Qizhen doesn't have too much extravagant hope to come back, as long as he can come back, as long as there are people here who care about him. But apparently he was disappointed, because his brother told him directly: you will live here from now on, you are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to participate in any activities. Even some of the former ministers came to visit but were blocked by the guards at the gate. Zhu Qizhen understands that he will be here for the rest of his life, but he also understands that it is good to be alive, what kind of bicycle do you want?So Zhu Qizhen stayed in Nangong peacefully. But we know that there must be undercurrents beneath the surface of calm. Can Zhu Qizhen really endure humiliation and steal his life like this?After all, he was once the wielder of the highest power in this empire. So, of course, it's impossible, it's just that he's just waiting for an opportunity. In the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), the opportunity finally came. Because Zhu Qiyu is sick, very serious, and he can't even go to court. So on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Zhu Qizhen launched a restoration operation with the help of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and the eunuch Cao Jixiang. On the sixteenth day of the first month, Zhu Qizhen sat back on the dragon chair that he had lost for eight years. The officials who came to work early in the morning were shocked when they saw Zhu Qizhen sitting on the dragon chair: Is the sky going to change again?That's right, it's really changed again. At this time, Zhu Qiyu, who was still lying on the hospital bed, also got the news of his brother's successful restoration, and just said with a wry smile: Brother is the emperor, good, good, good. Good or not, Zhu Qiyu has already said it at this time, because his brother has already started the thunderbolt method. In addition to changing the eighth year of Jingtai to the first year of Tianshun, he also immediately divided a group of friends who supported him to succeed in seizing the throne, and at the same time put all the villains who bullied him back then into prison. A purge began. 
But when his dog-headed military advisor Xu Youzhen offered to kill him along with Yu Qian, Zhu Qizhen refused. Zhu Qizhen is not stupid, he knows that Xu Youzhen wanted to kill Yu Qian to avenge his personal revenge, because he was scolded by Yu Qian when Xu Youzhen proposed to move south. Zhu Qizhen knew better in his heart that if Yu Qian hadn't successfully organized the defense of Beijing, the Ming Empire would have been destroyed in his own hands, and he might have died in the desert long ago. How could such a person be killed?However, Xu Youzhen said the words that Zhu Qizhen couldn't refuse: [If you don't kill Yu Qian, this move is nameless!]Zhu Qizhen was stunned: If Yu Qian doesn't die, then isn't Zhu Qiyu, who he supports, the legitimate emperor?Isn't the so-called seizure of the door a rebellion?Therefore, Yu Qian can only die. Since Yu Qian is the leader of the conspiracy against Zhu Qizhen, of course, the Zhu Qiyu he supported at the beginning is also illegal. On the first day of February in the first year of Tianshun (1457), Zhu Qizhen issued an edict to depose Zhu Qiyu. and put him under house arrest in a corner of the Forbidden City, where he died soon after. How Zhu Qiyu died, there have always been different opinions in the historical circles, but what the truth is, maybe only Zhu Qizhen himself knows in his heart. Seven years later, 38-year-old Zhu Qizhen also died. Everything is arranged. Zhu Qizhen's life is extremely complicated, he ascended the throne at the age of 9, first became an emperor for 14 years, then was imprisoned by Wara for 1 year, was imprisoned by his younger brother for 7 years, and finally became an emperor for another 7 years, his life is only 38 years, but he has tasted all the ups and downs in 38 years. His favor in Wang Zhen led to the defeat of Tumubao, and the Ming Dynasty never returned to its former glory, and he killed Yu Qian, causing the people's bad comments about him to chase Zhao Gou. So some people say that he is a scum with no dead ends in 360 degrees. Some people also say that he is not a good emperor but a good person, because he abolished the inhumane system of human martyrdom and saved countless lives, what do you think about this, welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
