The Story of Childhood, Zhu Houzhao, the founder of Ming Dynasty, is full of doubts and is considered as the weak node of Ming Dynasty.

The number of dissolute emperors in ancient China was the largest in Ming Dynasty. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously rectified the bureaucracy and concentrated on governing the country. If there is knowledge underground, I don't know what it's like to see my children and grandchildren so disappointing. Among these messy emperors, Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty is the most typical one. He is a short-lived emperor, who has been corrupted all his life. He built a "leopard room", squandered it on men and women, and stayed in the gentle countryside of beautiful women all day. In the Ming Dynasty, Wu Zong excessively pursued sensual enjoyment and reused eunuch Liu Jin and other "eight tigers", which led to chaos in the dynasty and weak national strength. Finally, the absurd emperor fell into the water because of too much sex and became the laughing stock of the times.

The mystery of the origin of orthodox princes

He was the son of Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Zhang in the Ming Dynasty. He is a descendant of Queen Gong Zheng and her eldest son, so he is the natural heir to the throne. Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was very happy when he was only 2 1 year old. He was very happy when he saw that the queen gave birth to a son. He named him Zhu Houzhao, hoping that he would leave a good impression on future generations. Zhu Houzhao's birthday is also a coincidence. It was written on 19 1 1 year, and the birthday was read as "Shen, You, Xu, Hai" in order of time, day, month and year. According to the fortune teller, this continuous birthday is for the rich and the rich. In addition, Zhu Houzhao's birthday is similar to that of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and made great achievements. It is said that when Queen Zhang was pregnant, she dreamed that the white dragon was in her belly and soon gave birth. According to the Eight Diagrams in Zhouyi, white people are the masters of the West and soldiers are elephants. Zhu Houzhao has been active all his life. He likes riding and shooting since he was a child, which seems to be a response to this photo. With these mysterious things and prominent status, Xiaozong naturally attached great importance to his son and wanted to cultivate him into an outstanding sage with both civil and military skills like Zhu Mao Zhu Yuanzhang. He was addicted to Zhu Houzhao's horse riding and shooting games, which also formed Zhu Houzhao's future military habits. 1492, Zhu Houzhao, who was born less than half a year ago, was officially conferred the title of Crown Prince by Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected, and there seemed to be some historical secrets in Zhu Houzhao's life. Ming Xiaozong and Queen Zhang got married less than half a year before they ascended the throne. Their relationship is very good, and Xiaozong has hardly had contact with other maids and concubines. However, after four years of marriage, Queen Zhang still hasn't given birth to a prince. Filial piety and queen Zhang are particularly worried about this. Hongzhi four years, there is no news of the queen's pregnancy, there is no other news, the palace suddenly announced that Huang Zhang gave birth to a son. In the sixth month after Zhu Houzhao was born, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty named him Prince of the East Palace, which is quite rare in Ming history. So soon after he was made a prince, there were rumors that he was not the biological son of Queen Zhang. Although this is a rumor without conclusive evidence, it is still a question whether Queen Zhang is her mother.

Some people suspected that Queen Zhang could not have children, so they adopted the sons of other courtiers, which not only avoided people's accusations, but also consolidated their position. Rumors spread all over the country like long legs, which caused a sensational case, namely "Zheng case".

Zheng was originally a soldier and came from a poor family. His daughter Zheng Jinlian was a servant girl when recruiting. Liu Shan, Zheng's Boxer eunuch, was also in the palace at this time, interacting with Liu Shan and asking him to take care of his daughter. Zheng Jinlian also asked Liu Shan to send some clothes to Zheng Wang. Zheng showed off his clothes in the palace, boasting that they were given by the emperor. Shortly after Queen Zhang gave birth to the Prince, King Zheng began to tell people that the Prince was actually born by his daughter Zheng Jinlian and was forcibly occupied by Queen Zhang. This incident caused an uproar in the city, but it was only circulated among the people, and no one pursued it. However, a few years later, Ming Xiaozong suddenly heard about it and began to investigate. He ordered the arrest of Zheng Wang, Liu Shan and others, and personally interrogated them. Eunuch Liu Shan was executed for interfering in diplomacy. Zheng was jailed for cheating others and risking his royal family. Zheng Jinlian was sent to Huan Yi branch. The result of this case is intriguing: only eunuch Liu Shan was killed, while Zheng Wang, who was more guilty than Liu Shan, was imprisoned and released after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne. After Wang was released, he still insisted that his daughter gave birth to a prince, so the rumors revived. His compatriots, through his joints, played out the fact that the son of heaven "mother" was imprisoned today, so King Zheng was arrested and imprisoned. During the trial, Zheng claimed that he was innocent. Finally, Wu Houzhao believed that the eldest son's identity could not be profaned, and was sentenced to death for demonizing Zheng Wang. At this point, the "Zheng case" has ended. As Zhu Houzhao continued to sit on the throne of the emperor by virtue of his eldest son's aristocratic lineage, he began a life obsessed with money.

A messy leopard-print room

Zhu Houzhao was very young when he acceded to the throne. It turned out that Ming Xiaozong appointed Zhongliang officials to assist him, but he didn't trust any of them. On the contrary, he regarded himself as the so-called "Eight Tigers", namely eunuchs Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Gu Dayong, Qiu Ju and Zhang Yong. They led Ming Wuzong to ride horses day and night to play game, make trouble and create chaos. Of these eight people, Liu Jin is the most cunning and eloquent. He waited on Zhu Houzhao, tried to please and flatter him, won the favor of Zhu Houzhao, and was sent to the palace to take charge of specific affairs. Liu Jin asked Zhu Houzhao to accompany him with falcons, dogs and other animals to ride horses, shoot arrows and play with guns. Zhu Houzhao is active by nature. He will never study or manage state affairs again.

Shortly after Ming Taizu Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he abolished the ladies-in-waiting and attendants in the secretarial office to reduce the restrictions on his behavior. On the day of the emperor's holiday, he used various excuses to escape, but he didn't listen several times. Later, he didn't even want to go to Zhao Chao. Ministers saw that the emperor was so absurd when he was young, so they took turns to go into battle and even threatened to resign. The little emperor said "yes" verbally, but actually he went his own way, and the ministers were very helpless.

Tired of playing in the palace and the chatter of ministers, Zhu Houzhao simply left the Forbidden City and lived in the Leopard Room in the northwest of the imperial city. The Leopard House was not founded by General Manager Wu. It turned out to be a place where nobles raised tigers, leopards and other wild animals for fun, which was the general trend of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, there are tiger room, elephant room and eagle room. For a long time, the sound leopard room became a newspaper. By the Ming dynasty, the leopard room was no longer a place to keep leopards in the general sense, but a palace for the emperor's entertainment. Since the era of Wuzong, it has become a place to live and handle government affairs. Wu Houzhao carefully designed his own amusement places, set up many secret rooms and built a Buddhist temple. Ask for more happiness every day, Bohemian. One year during the Lantern Festival, fireworks were set off in the Forbidden City, and Gan Qing Palace, a symbol of the emperor's power and noble status, caught fire. Seeing the fire, Wu Zong refused to order rescue. Instead, he ran to the leopard's room to see it, talking and laughing, and then turned around and said, "What a big fireworks."

Besides hiding prostitutes in the leopard room, Zhu Houzhao also put her adopted son in it. In the short ten years since the reign of Wu Zong, he adopted more than 120 adopted sons, most of whom were adulterers, with Jiang Bin being the most popular. Jiang Bin is cunning and skillful. He is good at archery. He was originally a general who defended the border and fought bravely in suppressing the peasant uprising. He got three arrows and was fearless. One of them hit another door, so you can pull it out and continue to fight. Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao specially called him and discussed the Art of War with him. Wu zong liked it very much, so he was left as a guard. Once, Wu Zong played with a tiger in the leopard room. Unexpectedly, this docile tiger suddenly got angry and jumped on General Wu. Because he was busy asking people around him for help, they were too scared to move forward, so Jiang Bin jumped out of the tiger's uniform in time. After getting out of danger, Zhu Houzhao was worried and still bluffing, but he was still grateful. In the future, since the expansion of Leopard House, Jiang Bin has made the greatest contribution. It is said that General Wu often sleeps on his lap in the leopard room. For several hours, Jiang Bin could not move, so as not to disturb the emperor. Imperial ministers often don't see the emperor for a long time, but once they see Jiang Bin, they know that the emperor will come out soon.

The eunuchs and semes in the leopard building are favored by Wu Zong, but the favorites in the leopard building are not only eunuchs and semes, but also border generals, musicians, acting officials, Taoist priests and monks. No matter what business it is, as long as you can vote for general Wu, you are eligible to enter the leopard room. Influenced by the worship of Buddhism by Ming Chengzu, Ming Wuzong also believed in Buddhism very much. He built a Buddhist temple in China, told monks to chant Buddhist scriptures, and even invited monks to play with him in the leopard room. He also claimed to be "the king of Qing Dynasty, who knew the Ming Dynasty in the west, and became a family of his own, also known as the imperial edict". He often recites Buddha in obscene places in the Leopard Room.

Go to the northwest to play.

In order to consolidate his power, Jiang Bin constantly boasted to Wu Zong that his army was good at fighting and lured Wu Zong to transfer troops. The Ming dynasty did not allow the border guards to exchange views with the Beijing army. If the border guards are weak, Mongolia will invade; If Beijing's army is weak, the border guards will become a disaster. Due to the minister's strong opposition, the border guards have moved to Beijing. Jiang Bin also encouraged Wu Zong to leave the capital for the northwest. Wuzong has always dreamed of showing his majestic posture on the vast grassland and creating an extraordinary career. Jiang Bin also told him that there were many beautiful women there, which aroused Mr. Wu's interest.

Shortly after Mongolia invaded the border, Wu Zong used this as an excuse to ignore the advice of ministers and began to go out in person. Under the personal arrangement of Wu Zong, the company commander Wang Xun led Datong troops to meet the enemy, and Wu Zong personally commanded the battle. Soon, the two armies met, the loyalist main force split in two, and Wu Zong personally led the troops to reinforce. Soon, the officers and men joined forces, and the Mongols learned that Wuzhong had arrived in Yingzhou and sent the main force to attack. Seeing this situation, Wu Zongqin persuaded the generals to resist on their own. Soon, the enemy marched westward, followed by the Wumeng soldiers, but due to the difficulties of the government forces, they withdrew to Datong. This is the first time that Wu Zong personally went to the battlefield. He's addicted. He led his cronies to kill 16 people. Since Wu Zongqin committed suicide, 52 officers and men have died and more than 500 people have been seriously injured. However, it must be pointed out that this record was deliberately concealed. It is almost impossible to record 16 people in a large-scale war.

Since the rate of a large group of people to Fu Xuan, built a "town", claiming to be "commander in chief of the world". All the official documents exchanged are considered as powerful generals. They were renamed Zhu Shou, and named as "polis". In order to show his solemnity, Wu Zong also ordered the Ministry of War to set up his own account, keep the files and hand them over to the Ministry of War on time. This is a strange thing that has never been heard of since ancient times.

Wuzong likes Fuxuan's town government very much, and even calls it "home", where he spends the Spring Festival. He also personally designed colorful Spring Festival ceremonies and ordered people to prepare dozens of carriages full of women and monks. On the way, the colored balls in the woman's hand collided with the monk's bald head, and the colored balls fell off one by one. Seeing this funny scene, Wu Zong was in high spirits and was very proud of his masterpiece.

Encouraged by Zaizai, he ordered the transformation of the town government, and took the treasure and women to the leopard room to fill in the town government, as if living in Fu Xuan. It is the military center in northern Fu Xuan and the first line of defense against the invasion of Mongolian troops. Because I have always admired the martial arts of Zhu Mao Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Cheng, I hope I can achieve great military achievements like them. Besides, in Fu Xuan, you don't have to listen to ministers' endless lectures. He ordered ministers not to come to Laifuxuan, and only relatives of Leopard House could come in and out at any time. In the Leopard Building and Zhenguo Building, General Wu Can did whatever he wanted.

Pro-expedition peaceful rebellion farce

Wang Zhu in Xining ignored the national government for a long time and had fun everywhere. After a long period of preparation, they killed court officials in the name of crusade against tyrants, led the people to rise up and make waves. Immediately after the rebellion, news spread from all over the world to Beijing. But Ming Wuzong hid in another palace, and ministers searched for him for several days before finding him. After hearing the news, he was very excited and eager to gallop on the battlefield. He immediately ordered the Ministry of War officials to meet him at Zuoshun Gate. After discussion, they decided to send troops to conquer and play the ruling role of the emperor. There was no reply three days after the accession to the throne, and ministers were very worried. Originally, since the failure of several southern tours, Wu Zong wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of personal expedition to travel to Jiangnan, so he didn't plan to go out, but wanted to personal expedition. After the news came out, the ministers urged them one after another, but Wu Zong made up his mind to lead the army to war. He was wearing armor, but he walked all the way, showing no signs of fighting.

To Wu Zong's disappointment, a few days later, the traitor Zhu was captured alive by the Pingjiang Uprising Army, and Zhu's rebellion was put down. Zhu was sent to Wu Zongkai for a memorial service. After reading the eulogy, Wu Zong continued to go south and wrote many letters to prevent Wang Shouren from providing prisoners to Beijing and let him wait for Wu Zong to arrive. After learning that Zhu was captured, North Korean ministers wrote in succession, demanding that Wu Zong withdraw his troops and return to Beijing. However, Wu Zong's southern tour has just begun. He didn't want to retreat at all, so he dropped his guard and continued south.

After Wu Zong came to Yangzhou Prefecture, he led all the people to hunt nonstop the next day, looking for beautiful women in Jiangnan. Since then, the value of prostitutes in Yangzhou has doubled. After Zhu was escorted to the emperor's residence, he decided to catch the rebel leader himself because he ordered the army to organize a war. Then, he ordered the release of Zhu Fang, tortured him to death, rode on a horse and captured him in one fell swoop. All the troops cheered for the emperor's bravery. Under the guidance of general manager Wu, such a play of "the emperor catches thieves" was staged.

I didn't expect happiness to bring sadness. General manager Wu accidentally fell into the water while fishing in Qingjianbao. Although he was rescued from the ship, he was still infected by hunger and cold and was frightened again. Wu Zongsheng began to return to Beijing because of his extravagant life, extremely weak body and aggravated illness. The counter-insurgency efforts of Wang Shouren and others all went up in smoke, which became a great victory for Wu Zong. On the second day after returning to Beijing, Wu Zongju held a state banquet to celebrate the uprising. I felt exhausted and left early before the party was halfway through. I died a few days later.

General Wu was only 3 1 year old when he crashed. Throughout his life, he was drunk, lustful and dissolute, especially his farce of self-styled official position and personal adventure, which was unique in history.
