Zhu Qizhen, who took up the post for the second time, is not as good as Zhao Gou

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-30

Many people want to know what the emperor did after Ming Yingzong took office for the second timeIf Zhu Qizhen was inexperienced as an emperor for the first time, so he was invited by the Warat people to study in Mongolia for several years, then after the change of seizing the door, Zhu Qizhen, who ascended the throne for the second time, has grown up.

First of all, the civil and military students of Zhu Qizhen began to pull their hips at the same time, first expanding the fields on a large scale and collecting money for their three sons, but these fields were maintained or managed in ordinary times, and the actual operation was completed by the eunuchs, so these eunuchs took the opportunity to forcibly occupy a large number of people's fields, and often made a mess around the capital. The emperor who ascended the throne for the second time was also more and more extravagant in life, and in order to collect wealth for himself, he sent eunuchs everywhere to mine. It can be said that in internal affairs, the emperor's achievements are not at all brilliant, and in military affairs, the crotch pull is even more terrifying.

From the early days of Tianshun, the Mongol Tatars often attacked the Hetao region, and Zhu Qizhen knew active defense at the beginning, but the record of this counterattack was really a little embarrassing compared to the Ming Dynasty war situation before his father's generation. In the fifth year of Tianshun, both sides were annoyed, and the Tatar Ministry begged, "Otherwise, I will try to pay you tribute in the future, but you must give me a road in the Hetao area, otherwise I will not dare to go." This kind of obviously taking advantage of ill intentions, as an emperor who was deceived by the Mongols and captured, how did Mingzong respond?Agree. With this consent, a large number of Tatars poured into the Hetao region, and the Ming Dynasty's control over the area was rapidly weakened.

Not only on the Mongolian side, but also the Jurchens in the Northeast also had problems during the Ming Yingzong period, because Zhu Qizhen agreed to open the horse market to the Northeast, and as soon as the horse market opened, the local Jianzhou Jurchen chief Dong Shan fattened up, often at the border, and Yingzong didn't care about anything. The result of these operations in the later period of Ming Yingzong is that after his death, he left a very terrible hidden danger to his son Ming Xianzong, because of the connivance of eunuchs and civil officials, the social contradictions in the later period of Ming Yingzong have been very serious, as a result, as soon as he died on the front foot, the famous Jingxiang rebel broke out on the back foot, and the Huguang area could not be stopped. It took nearly seven years for Emperor Chenghua to gradually pacify.

In addition, the military danger was even more terrible, because the Hetao area was occupied by the Mongols, and after that, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, this place was never taken back. The Jurchens in the Northeast have been ** for a long time, and finally had to let Ming Xianzong launch the Battle of Dinghai, which is what many people call the "Chenghua Plough Court".

After this comparison, we will feel that this Zhu Qizhen is even not as good as Song Gaozong Zhao Gou after he took the throne, after all, although Zhao Gou was a soft bone back then, at least in terms of stabilizing the political achievements of the south, Song Gaozong is really not a special dish. In the wake of the civil revolt in the south, Zhao insisted on ordering tenant farmers in the Dongting Lake area to be allowed to cultivate their own fields, with tax exemption for three years.

As for the administrative team, after the change of seizing the door, the first thing Zhu Qizhen did was to clear all the core ** during the Ming Dynasty Zong Jingtai, according to the record of "Ming Zong Record", Zhu Qizhen in the first year of Tianshun after the change, first killed Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wang Wen, the eunuch of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and a lot of other **, almost the core layer of the imperial court at that time, how bad this unjust killing Yu Qian was, let's not say much. After all, it is a normal operation for the emperor to clean up obstacles for himself, the key is that after Zhu Qizhen finished cleaning, not only did he not let the Ming Dynasty operate normally, but because the behavior of Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang who he reused was too bad, the court at that time was instantly smoky. The most ironic thing is that the eunuch Wang Zhen, the culprit who killed so many Ming troops, was listed as a martyr by Zhu Qizhen during the Tianshun period.

Many people say that Zhu Qizhen is a good person by abolishing the martyrdom, but the problem is that this good man sits in the emperor's seat and gives all the good things to the two and a half people around him, and then these people take advantage of the power and toss around. So in any case, what Mingzong did these two times was not qualified.
