What happened to Zheng He after Judy died?

This question is not very rigorous. If we correct the problem, the answer to this question will almost emerge. Judy did send Zheng He to the Western Seas, but only six times. Zheng He's last voyage to the West was during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, and Xuanzong personally instructed him to go to the West for the seventh time. Sadly, Zheng He died on the last voyage. But for the conscientious Zheng He, this destination is not bad.

It can be seen from this incident that both emperors were very supportive of Zheng He from Ming Chengzu to Ming Xuanzong. Needless to say, Ming Chengzu put forward the idea of sailing, and his attitude towards Zheng He was always good, and Zheng He carried out his orders perfectly. Besides, Emperor Xuanzong was very kind to Zheng He here. Was Zheng He built? Dragon boat? He was rewarded by Ming Taizu Xuanzong and approved his request to build Jingjue Temple.

As for Zheng He, it is not difficult to understand that he was not targeted by later emperors. Zheng He's voyages to the West were indeed a great loss of national strength, but Zheng He's achievements were also very dazzling.

Politically, Zheng He preached national prestige, which enabled the Ming Dynasty to establish a political system for China people and foreigners overseas, and expanded the tributary system. Moreover, this tribute system is non-aggressive. Because of this, many people call Zheng He a messenger of peace.

Economically speaking, Zheng He opened up overseas trade, enriched trade forms, and reversed the disadvantages brought about by the maritime ban policy. Zheng He also brought many overseas technologies and raw materials to China, which promoted the development of agriculture and production in China and made indelible contributions to the economic development of the Ming Dynasty.

No matter from which point of view at that time, Zheng He was a great hero. It was these dazzling achievements that enabled the emperor to push aside the crowd and carry out the ideological strategy of westward advancement. So in the emperor's mind, Zheng He's position is very high. Although the country lost a lot of money because of political factors, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was still very strong, which could support consumption.

To say the least, even if Ming Xuanzong thought it unwise to go to the West, he would never point the finger at Zheng He. Because Zheng He is not the proposer, but the executor. Coupled with his hard work, he insisted on following the fleet when he was old. This spirit is very admirable. If the emperor accuses Zheng He at this time, it will certainly arouse public anger. This is why Ming Renzong, who was very resistant to going to the West, just stopped his trip to the West without punishing Zheng He.

Besides, although Judy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, died, his reputation is still high. Punishing Zheng He is equivalent to giving Judy a slap in the face, and later emperors dare not take the world by storm. After Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, the Ming Dynasty ended its exploration of the ocean. The core reason is not the emperor, but the decline of the Ming dynasty, which can't support the consumption of going to the west.

In fact, both Yingzong and Xianzong had the idea of resuming their voyages to the West, but they lacked Judy's courage and didn't stick to their own ideas. And the objective conditions are really not optimistic. At that time, there was no competent minister who was familiar with navigation like Zheng He, and there were not many classics left by Zheng He's voyages to the West, which meant starting all over again. In this case, going to the west is naturally a delusion.
