It is said that Liu Bowen is clever, so it is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he asked Liu Bowen how many years of national fortune did the Ming Dynasty have? Liu Bowen replied: Your Majesty has thousands of sons and grandchildren, why bother to ask?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that what Liu Bowen said was that the Ming Dynasty could be passed on to all generations, but Liu Bowen's "ten thousand sons and ten thousand grandchildren" actually meant that the Ming Dynasty's national fortune was passed on to the sons and grandchildren of Emperor Wanli.
The book returns to the main story, the Wanli Emperor is the Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, he is the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has a total of 16 emperors, and the subsequent emperors are a son of the Wanli Emperor and two grandsons.
And in addition to this branch became the emperor's descendants, the Wanli Emperor also had 7 sons. So, what is the ending of the life of Wanli's 8 sons?
Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo (1582-1620, 39 years old), reigned for less than a month, and his mother was Empress Xiaojing.
Zhu Changluo has not been loved by his father since he was a child. Caught in the problem of party struggle and the alternation of imperial power, he experienced major historical events such as the struggle for the national capital and the attack case.

During his reign, he appointed virtuous ministers, eliminated maladministration, actively reformed, abolished mining taxes and taxes, put things in order, and revitalized the discipline of the imperial court. However, the indulgence in alcohol and lust led to the weakening of the body.
In the first year of Taichang (September 26, 1620), he died of illness, known as the "Red Pill Case" in history, and was buried in the Qing Tomb in the Ming Tombs.
Zhu Changyu (January 19, 1585 - January 19, 1585), the second son of Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong, and his mother was the concubine Zheng.

In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), he was canonized as King Fu, and in the forty-second year of Wanli, he was vassal in Luoyang, Henan.
In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641), Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, captured Luoyang and killed Zhu Changxun. Later, Zhu Changxun's eldest son Zhu Yousong became the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and posthumously honored Zhu Changxun as the emperor, and the mausoleum was called Xiling.

The ministers all went to the chapter to ask Mingshenzong to complete Chang Hao's marriage, but Mingshenzong ignored it, Chang Hao asked the household every day for the cost of marriage, took 180,000 taels ** and hid it in the palace, and said that this money was not enough to buy a crown and clothes.
In 1627, when he arrived in Hanzhong, in addition to the taxes paid to the imperial court, various taxes such as salt taxes were added to increase the burden on the people.
In 1637, Wang Bin launched a peasant uprising in Hanzhong, and Zhu Changhao fled south to Sichuan for refuge in order to escape the pursuit of the Dashun army, and was assisted by the general soldier Hou Liangzhu to Chongqing.
In 1644, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Chongqing, and the desperate Zhu Changhao and his entourage were captured. Zhang Xianzhong first beheaded Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, and when he wanted to behead Zhu Changhao, the sky was cloudless but the thunder and lightning were great, and Xianzhong still beheaded Zhu Changhao and his family and the shogunate**, local officials, etc. Then, the arms of more than 30,000 captured Ming soldiers and residents were cut off.

In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), he was named King Hui, but due to the vassal of Zhu Changxun, the king of Fuzhong, the treasury of the Ming ** was empty, so that the twenty-year-old Zhu Changrun and Zhu Changying, the king of Guiduan, could not get married. Later, due to the urgency of the war, the marriage of the two had to reduce some of the etiquette before it could be completed.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), he became a feudal governor of Jingzhou.
