Zhu Qizhen was the sixth and eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and this position was quite crucial, and the decline of Daming was directly related to him. It can be said that he did not play a very good role, and he almost destroyed the country left by his grandfather and father.
He was even captured by the enemy, which was shameful enough. Internally, he didn't seem to have done anything meaningful. Therefore, some people think that Zhu Qizhen is the worst emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this statement is debatable, Zhuqi Town is poor, but it is really not the worst.
Zhu Qizhen was not very old when he ascended the throne, so the three Yang Old Ministers assisted, these three can be said to have bowed down and died, and when they were still there, Daming really did not have much of a problem. But all three of them died. Zhu Qizhen was young and crazy, his tail was cocked to the sky, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.
There was a problem here that he favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, and the change of Tumu Fort was directly related to him, and it was precisely under his deception that Zhu Qizhen took the imperial conquest and took half of the people in the court to observe, resulting in death and captivity.
The emperor was captured, and Yu Qian had no choice but to urgently support Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne as emperor and win the defense of Beijing. However, Zhu Qizhen was then released, and after several years of house arrest, Shi Heng and others launched a change of door seizure and re-ascended the throne.
But the second time he became emperor, he was not much better, wrongfully killing the hero Yu Qian, persecuting Zhongliang, and treacherous ministers, which triggered a large-scale peasant uprising.
During his reign, the only praiseworthy thing was to release the descendants of Emperor Jianwen and abolish the system of palace concubines and burials.
So if we think about it carefully, he is nothing more than losing a battle, which has a relatively large impact, and the other is that he killed a person by mistake, and this person is Yu Qian. The wrong person was the eunuch Wang Zhen.
Strictly speaking, Ming Yingzong still has the ability, and he is also relatively diligent, not to mention how dim-witted he is. In contrast, there are also emperors who are worse than him.
For example, the favored eunuch, he is not the first person of daming. For example, Wei Zhongxian during Zhu You's school period, who caused chaos and chaos, did whatever he wanted, and was known as "nine thousand years old", and he obviously did more bad things than Wang Zhen. Some people have said that Wei Zhongxian has also done some good things, which is debatable, even if he has done good things, then we cannot ignore the fact that the Emperor of the Apocalypse favored the eunuchs.
For example, after losing a battle, in fact, this Ming Yingzong is not the only one. The key is that he lost this, and even he put himself into it, so the impact is relatively large.
Speaking of wrongfully killing loyal subjects, he was not the first of Daming. Not to mention the Emperor, even the old ancestor of Daming, Zhu Yuanzhang, was probably unmatched.
In fact, to say that the worst emperor of the Ming Dynasty must be viewed objectively. Zhu Qizhen has many faults, he is definitely not a wise lord, but to say that the worst is really not the wheel. In fact, strictly speaking, Zhu Yijun or the Emperor of the Heavenly Revelation was even worse than him.
