Everyone knows that the principle of succession to the throne is the primogeniture system, but there are very few emperors who really succeed to the throne with the eldest son. Not to mention the eldest son of Ming Jun, who succeeded to the throne, it was really rare. The following is the rare Ming Jun who succeeded to the throne by the eldest son.
Liu Qi (January 17, 188 BC – January 141 BCE) was Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (reigned 157 BC – 141 BC), the eldest son of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, and his mother was Empress Xiaowen Dou.
During Liu Qi's reign, he implemented the policy of cutting feudal domains, reduced the fiefdoms of princes and kings, pacified the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms", consolidated the centralization of power, developed production, and reduced taxes. He inherited his father's business and laid the foundation for the reign of his son Liu Che (i.e., Emperor Wu of Han). Liu Qi's mausoleum is located in Yangling, a huge cemetery that took 28 years to build and covers a vast area.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, a series of policies were implemented aimed at consolidating the country's unity and developing the economy. He attached importance to agricultural production, lightened the peasants' burdens, and pursued a policy of lightly taxing on the peasants.
He also attached great importance to the development of culture and education, established the county government school, and promoted the prosperity of culture. In terms of diplomacy, he adopted a policy of peace with the Xiongnu, and alleviated the harassment of the Xiongnu through ** and exchanges. He also pays attention to judicial fairness, and strives to reduce penalties and improve judicial impartiality.
Overall, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was a monarch with a Ming Dynasty and a Ming Dynasty, during which the country was stable and prosperous, and the social economy was restored and developed. His policies and measures had a positive impact on the later Han rule.
An important period in the history of the Tang Dynasty was vividly restored by the hit drama "Glory of the Tang Dynasty". The play is set in the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, and revolves around Empress Ruizhen Shen Pearl and Tang Dynasty Zong Li Yu. Tang Dynasty Zong was the eldest son of Tang Suzong Li Hengyan and the eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His life experienced the turmoil of the Anshi Rebellion and the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty.
In 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Tang Xuanzong was forced to flee, and Li Heng and Chen Xuanli planned a mutiny. After the mutiny, Li Heng ascended the throne as emperor in Wuling and became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yu was named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and with his outstanding military exploits, he successfully recovered Chang'an and Luoyang, and was made the crown prince in 758.
However, the turmoil caused by the Anshi Rebellion did not end. In 762, Tang Suzong was critically ill, and Empress Zhang attempted to kill Li Yu and establish Li Xian, the king of Yue, as the crown prince in order to change the crown prince. However, the eunuchs Li Fuguo and Cheng Yuanzhen learned of her conspiracy, protected Li Yu, and captured Empress Zhang, the Li family, and their henchmen. On the same day, Su Zong died, and Li Yu succeeded him as emperor.
Under the rule of Tang Dynasty Sect, the eunuch Li Fuguo was in power, but Li Yu was not tied hand and foot. Although Daizong showed obedience to Li Fuguo on the surface, he secretly planned a **, successfully got rid of Li Fuguo, and regained power.
The Anshi Rebellion lasted for eight years and put tremendous pressure on the Tang Dynasty. However, Daijong persisted in fighting the rebellion and eventually put down the Anshi Rebellion in 762. This news spread all over the world, and the whole country was immersed in joy, just as the poet Du Fu said: "But seeing where his wife is sad, he is ecstatic with poems and books." ”
However, the problem of internal aggression in Tibet brought new troubles to the Tang Dynasty. Daizong quickly appointed Guo Ziyi as deputy marshal, and he actively organized troops to counterattack Tibet. When the Tibetan army learned that Guo Ziyi personally led the army, they retreated in terror, and Chang'an was recovered by the Tang army within 15 days.
Guo Ziyi was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who put down rebellions for the imperial court many times, and his achievements were high. His son Guo Yu married Princess Shengping, the beloved daughter of Tang Dynasty Sect, but the two had conflicts because of their incompatible personalities. Guo Ziyi spoke wildly, but was persuaded by Daizong and reminded him not to be sentimental. This story was later called "Drunken Hitting the Golden Branch".
During his 17-year reign, Daizong Li Yu not only quelled the Anshi Rebellion, but also carried out many reforms, such as Cao Yun, salt prices, grain prices, etc., and was committed to putting the people first, stabilizing society, and promoting national development. However, Daizong's trust led to the continuous expansion of eunuch power, and eunuchs such as Yu Chaoen gained great power due to their merits, laying the groundwork for the eunuch dictatorship in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
Li Yu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, experienced twists and turns and challenges in his life, and his talent and determination enabled the Tang Dynasty to be rebuilt in the midst of turmoil. However, the course of history also brought new problems to the Tang Dynasty. How to deal with these challenges, Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu will give the answer for the rest of his reign.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, as the eldest son of Yingzong Zhao Shu and Xuanren Shenglie Empress Gao, was born in April of the eighth year of Qingli in Pu'an Yi Palace, and his original name was Zhao Zhongcheng. Compared to previous emperors, Song Shenzong was born without visions, perhaps because he didn't like those mysterious things. But it is also in line with the characteristics of his temper and character.
In fact, Song Shenzong should be grateful to his father, Song Renzong. If it weren't for the fact that Renzong had no son, the throne would not have passed to his father, and it would not have passed to himself. to be able to be"The Ninety-Five"and became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, for whom he may not have thought clearly at the beginning that these responsibilities and honors would fall on him and his father.
In the eighth year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty, because his father Zhao Shu made him the crown prince, he was named the Duke of Guangguo, and served as the Pingzhang of Tongzhongshumen, and later served as the king of Huaiyang County.
After Song Yingzong Zhao Shu ascended the throne, Zhao Ji was named King Ying. After Song Yingzong became seriously ill, Zhao Ji was made the crown prince and officially confirmed his"Crown Prince"Identity.
After Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he changed his name to Xining and began his reign in the Great Song Dynasty. However, when he ascended the throne, he was confronted with a country in crisis and a complex political situation. Compared with the abundant treasury, strong country, and clear politics left by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty faced a series of crises. Huge military spending, a bloated bureaucracy, a fiscal deficit, and the suffering and revolt of the peasants put the country in a difficult position.
In the face of such a crisis, Song Shenzong was very concerned about the previous one"The Law of the Ancestors"I became suspicious and felt that there were many drawbacks in it. Convinced that reform was the only way to alleviate the crisis, he began to support Wang Anshi in presiding over the reform of the law in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, ease class contradictions, and save the crisis of feudal rule. With Wang Anshi's help, he embarked on an unprecedented campaign of large-scale reforms, including political, economic, and military reforms, which had a significant impact on the Great Song Dynasty.
In the second year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji appointed Wang Anshi as the governor of the government, responsible for changing the law. He also made personnel changes and formed a new governing team. The measures to change the law are mainly divided into three aspects: enriching the country, strengthening the army, and selecting and promoting, and the new law will be gradually implemented. This period is called"Wang Anshi changed the law"or"Xining changed the law"。
However, there is tremendous resistance and challenges to the reform. In all dynasties, all reforms have faced many difficulties and sacrifices. The Great Song Dynasty initiated Fan Zhongyan's reforms during the reign of Song Renzong, but unfortunately ultimately failed. The reform involves too many interests and resistance from the die-hards, making it extremely difficult to implement the reforms.
Zhao did not give up the reform, and continued to work hard to implement the reform of the law and severely punish the opposition. However, after Wang Anshi left, the implementation of the reform became more difficult. Zhao faced tremendous pressure and frustration, and he tried to implement the reform through stronger means, but the change ultimately failed.
In 1085 AD, due to the fiasco of the Western Xia war and psychological pressure, Zhao Ji's condition deteriorated. The following year, at the age of 38, he died with regret and was succeeded by his nine-year-old son Zhao Xu.
Zhao Ji has been pursuing his ideals all his life, hoping to rebuild a strong country through reform and change of law, and realize the rebuilding of the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties. Although his dreams were ultimately shattered, his pursuit and efforts for reform, as well as the reforms he promoted, had a tremendous impact on the Song dynasty.
If Zhao Ji can live for another ten years, if he can get more support and cooperation, his changes may be successful, and the Great Song Dynasty may regain its former glory again, and"Shame on Jingkang"Maybe it won't happen.
Zhao Ji has been pursuing the dream of reform all his life, hoping to change the fate of the country through his own efforts. Despite the failure of the reform, his efforts and determination did not change. He hoped to make the public stronger by changing the law, and he insisted on reforming the law and facing the challenge of the recalcitrant forces together with Wang Anshi.
However, reform takes time and support, and Cho didn't get enough time and partners in the end. He insisted on reform, but the reform was halted by his death. Nevertheless, his reform measures met the requirements of economic development and the working people to a certain extent, and played a positive role in promoting social progress and the continuation of feudal rule.
Zhao Ji's death deprived the Great Song Dynasty of a monarch with lofty ideals, whose talents and ambitions were not fully realized, but he had a profound impact on the development and future direction of the Great Song Dynasty. His efforts laid the basic system of centralization in the Great Song Dynasty and extended the life of the Great Song Dynasty.
Song Shenzong Zhao Ji will be remembered in the history books as a monarch who pursued his dream of reform, and despite the failure of the reform, his courage and determination will continue to inspire future generations to pursue progress and reform.
The reign of Renxuan was a glorious period in the history of the Ming Dynasty, known as one of the five prosperous eras of China, and was as famous as the rule of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty and the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. During this period, the Ming Dynasty was politically clear, the national strength was strong, the society was stable, and the economy was booming. The creators of this prosperous era were Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong and Zhu Zhanji of Mingxuanzong, who showed outstanding ruling talents and wisdom in the face of internal and external challenges and threats from vassal kings.
Renzong Zhu Gaochi was a frail but extraordinarily wise emperor. Although he reigned for less than a year, he has achieved a number of impressive achievements in this short period of time. He rehabilitated many wrongful prisoners, and also carried out administrative reforms and policy adjustments to reduce the burden on the people. Renzong was good at pacifying the soldiers and uniting people's hearts, and his heroic performance in the Battle of Jingjing became a key turning point in the war.
Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was a young and far-sighted emperor. He was personally taught and cultivated by Zhu Di since he was a child, and became a ruler with both civil and military skills and careful thinking. After ascending the throne, Xuanzong quickly put down Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion and stabilized the regime. Relying on wise decision-making and a good education, he carried out political, economic, and military reforms that laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Under the governance of Renzong and Xuanzong, the Ming Dynasty had a thriving economy and growing national strength. They adopted a series of policies that promoted economic prosperity, reorganized the army, strengthened border stability, and improved relations with neighboring countries. At the same time, they pay attention to redressing unjust prisons, protecting the rights and interests of the people, and making society fairer and more harmonious.
However, the reigns of both Injong and Seonjong were too short-lived, and the reign of Inseonjong lasted only eleven years. Although this period was glorious, the later decline of the Ming Dynasty is also deeply regrettable. However, the governance achievements of Renzong and Xuanzong still left a strong mark on the history of the Ming Dynasty, and their wisdom and courage made an indelible contribution to the prosperity and stability of the Ming Dynasty.
The glorious period of the reign of Renxuan in the Ming Dynasty not only brought prosperity and stability to the country, but also left valuable political experience and wisdom for future generations. Under the leadership of Renzong and Xuanzong, they showed great talent and wisdom during this period, and their governance achievements provided important lessons for future rulers. The rule of Renxuan is a glorious chapter in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a model worthy of our memory and learning.
