The video connects all worlds, and the top ten emperors are edited at the beginning

The Ming Dynasty was established in 1368. Zhu Yuanzhang revolted to destroy the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had a total of 16 emperors, and the most "controversial" emperor was Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao, No.15 emperor, temple name Xizong, ascended the throne in 1605. During this period, he connived at eunuch Wei Zhongxian and Hakka's dictatorship, and even created many unjust cases and national conflicts. He died in 1627 at the age of 23.

It is not entirely unreasonable that the apocalypse is immortal and the Ming Dynasty is immortal. The famous "Hongwan case" and "Yigong case" made everyone dislike him.

However, because of internal and external troubles during Zhu Youxiao's reign, and an emperor who wants to have his own power must have real power, facing difficulties and disagreements with all the officials, in order to counteract all the officials, he chose Wei Zhongxian.

And Wei Zhongxian did not disappoint him, and helped Zhu Youxiao solve problems in many political affairs; he vigorously cultivated his own power while emphasizing talents in the military.

According to this, I think Zhu Youxiao will probably be able to slowly fulfill his wish and develop his grand plan of governing the country. However, the sky failed to fulfill his wish, and he fell into the water accidentally, making him ill.

Zhu Youxiao had no time to take care of state affairs, and the power gradually established or withdrawn happened to fall into the hands of Wei Zhongxian, which led to subsequent tragedies.

Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, many people have the impression that he is an illiterate carpenter.

Zhu Youxiao, who was only 16 years old at the time, could be said to have been "forced" to assume the throne. Zhu Changxun was originally the candidate for the crown prince favored by Emperor Wanli.

Therefore, the culture he has learned is not too much, but the word illiteracy is not enough. According to records, Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet, once praised Zhu Youxiao: "My emperor is very smart, and he is really diligent and eager to learn. Master carry on.

Let's take a look at what the carpenter said, without Zhu Youxiao's heavy academic and government affairs, he has more free time. In his spare time, he must find something to do for himself.

So Zhu Youxiao came into contact with carpentry and fell in love with it deeply. Then as a "carpenter", he is also successful. Why do you say that?

Because it was completed under his auspices, as small as beds, stools and chairs, as large as the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Central Harmony as we all know.

Although I don't know where he learned this skill, isn't it rare for an emperor to have such a skill?

When he was a child, he already knew how to protect himself wisely, and his father who didn't let him study too much and get in touch with political affairs thought it was protecting him, but he didn't want to be the source of criticism from the world.

And since he was a child, he knew that his father died suddenly and mysteriously within a month of his enthronement. Since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power is terrible. Everyone knows it. How can Zhu Youxiao not know it when he is in it?

It's just that he has no choice, his foundation is unstable, his wings are fledgling, and he has no strength to fight, so he can only dormant in a roundabout way, slowly accumulating strength.

In fact, if we extend the time a little longer and give him a little more time, he may not make everyone's eyes shine.

But what is the main duty of the emperor?

Of course it is governing the world!

As a symbol of supreme power, from the day he ascended the throne, he no longer belongs to himself, but belongs to the whole world, the whole superstructure.

Can the emperor have personal hobbies?

Of course, he can still pursue what he likes, but there must be a limit. If it exceeds this limit, then this hobby will turn into a national disaster.

For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Wei Yi liked cranes very much. He kept them with him at all times, even during wars.

In order to raise cranes, the state of Wei spent a lot of money, the treasury was short, and it could not make ends meet; in order to collect money, Duke Wei Yi imposed taxes from the people, which made people complain and complain.

When the state of Wei was invaded, no one served Wei Yigong anymore, and Wei Yigong finally died in battle, becoming a typical example of playing with things and losing one's mind.

Another example is Song Huizong, the emperor of calligraphy and painting. He liked flowers and stones, so he desperately collected them from all over the country. As a result, it led to the "Fangla Uprising" that shook the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

These are all vivid examples. However, there are still emperors who are so fond of their hobbies that their country is ruined and their families are destroyed.

What we are going to talk about today is "Emperor Carpenter" - Zhu Youxiao.

Chapter 96 Carpenter Emperor Zhu Youxiao [Please recommend tickets! 】

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are more exotic than each other, and each emperor has a strong personality, but the Ming Dynasty is also the most admirable dynasty.

There is no cession of land, no marriage, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.

There were 276 emperors in Guozuo in the 16th year of the Ming Dynasty, and among these emperors, the most wonderful one was Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao is the eldest son of Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo. His grandfather is Ming Shenzong Wanli. Emperor Wanli reigned for 48 years and was the longest reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

His father was the emperor, and as the prince Zhu Changluo could only wait. This wait lasted for 20 years, and Zhu Changluo had been the crown prince for a full 20 years.

Finally, in 1620, Emperor Wanli passed away, and Zhu Changluo really became emperor, but Zhu Changluo was really not up to date. After waiting for 20 years, he passed away after being the emperor for a month. He is known as the "January Emperor".

After Zhu Changluo's death, the illiterate Zhu Youxiao was hastily pushed to the throne by the Donglin Party members. Zhu Youxiao was really illiterate.

His father, Zhu Changluo, was not liked by his grandfather, Emperor Wanli. Zhu Changluo lived in fear every day, and had no time to urge his son to study.

In addition, Zhu Changluo may feel that literacy and hyphenation may be a disaster for his children, so he didn't take much care of him.

But Zhu Youxiao is still the prince's son no matter what, he can't go out and play around like other ordinary children.

But it's boring to stay idle every day in Dad's Prince's Mansion, so poor Zhu Youxiao can only find things to play by himself.

So those woodworking artworks that were regarded as decorations became his first toys, and it was precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao developed a keen interest in woodworking.

After Zhu Changluo's sudden collapse, Zhu Youxiao, who was only 16 years old, became emperor. Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to be an emperor at all, and no one taught him.

His father Zhu Changluo didn't care about him at all, his mother passed away very early, and the person closest to him was his nanny Keshi.

At the beginning of Zhu Youxiao's ascension to the throne, he named the wet nurse Hakka as the holy lady.

So it was suggested to drive Keshi out of the palace according to the usual practice. Keshi was a scheming woman, she knew that as long as she firmly grasped the emperor, no one else could do anything to her.

The Hakkas also teamed up with their counterpart Wei Zhongxian to form the Eunuch Party to fight against the Donglin Party.

Although Zhu Youxiao does carpentry work every day and does not care about political affairs, he is not stupid. It is in his best interest to compete between the eunuch party and the Donglin party.

If the internal and external courts are all of one mind, then his emperor will be difficult to do, although he single-handedly supports the eunuch party and uses the eunuch party to attack the Donglin party.

But he was never ambiguous in national affairs. He appointed Yuan Chonghuan to resist the Houjin troops, and Xiong Tingbi was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy capital censor to manage Liaodong.

He was promoted to general Mao Wenlong as deputy commander in chief and sent him to guard Zhenjiang.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also issued an edict to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, record Fang Xiaoru's heirs, honor the heroes, and give him a funeral and posthumous title.

This series of measures at least shows that Zhu Youxiao still has something to do, and Wei Zhongxian is just his pawn.

Without his support, Wei Zhongxian would be an eunuch no matter how cunning he was. At that time, the Donglin Party was too powerful, so they had to be suppressed.

However, the ministers of the court and the central government are basically members of the Donglin Party, so he must cultivate his own forces.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian just appeared, and Wei Zhongxian was an eunuch, so he was not a threat to the imperial power in essence.

In all dynasties, there were only ministers who sought power to usurp the throne and become emperor, and no eunuchs had ever been heard of being emperor. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was very worried about Wei Zhongxian.

But Wei Zhongxian is also a human being, and he also has a desire for power, especially through power to alleviate the pain of physical insufficiency.

At first Wei Zhongxian was a dog, but after a long time, the dog turned into a wolf, and it was a vicious wolf that could eat people.

Zhu Youxiao likes to do handicrafts, and he is tireless all year round. Wei Zhongxian is also very good at coming, and every time he plays, he always chooses Zhu Youxiao's nervousness as a carpenter, and Zhu Youxiao has no patience to listen.
