As a king, why didn't Jiajing wear a dragon robe to court?
Although Jiajing was an emperor, he believed in Taoism, so he always wore Taoist robes instead of dragon robes. Ancient courts generally believed in something. In the Tang Dynasty, they believed in Buddhism, but in Jiajing period, they believed in Taoism. Moreover, Jiajing is a serious person who wants to promote Taoism. So the clothes he usually wears are Taoist robes, even in court. However, Jia is the emperor, even if he wears cassock to the court, it is his personal freedom. As long as he can manage the country well and the world is at peace, he can be said to be a good emperor, so naturally he can't say much.

Jiajing was really a good emperor during his reign. He is not a person who knows how to intrigue, but his emotional intelligence is particularly high, and many old ministers are obedient to him. Most emperors are persuaded by force, but Jiajing's persuasion by personality charm is really rare. Although Jiajing did not wear a dragon robe to court, what he did during his reign made the people proud and was remembered by history.

One of them is to eliminate the remnants of Japanese pirates in coastal areas. As we all know, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the regime was in turmoil, among which the Xiongnu could not attack repeatedly in the north, and the Japanese army harassed it most seriously in the south. After Jiajing came to power, he vigorously carried out activities to destroy the enemy, and finally won a staged victory, so that the coastal enemies never dared to attack again. Jiajing's actions also brought peace to the coastal areas.

During the Jiajing period, the second thing that history remembered was to defeat the Portuguese invasion. As we all know, Portugal was very powerful at that time and made many colonies, so it was eager to move on our territory. After Jiajing came to power, he began a long-term confrontation with the Portuguese invading army. Finally, we won the battle of Tuen Mun, which guaranteed the territorial integrity of our country. At that time, Jiajing was in power for a short time, and Portugal's power was already very strong. Jiajing's victory in the naval battle in Tuen Mun deserves to be remembered by future generations.
