Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be idle. Three thousand beauties in the harem are waiting day and night for the Ming Emperor to visit. In fact, the emperors in ancient China were mostly in three palaces and six courtyards, and there were few emperors who were not dissolute or indulgent. Let's say the Ming Dynasty, from Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Hongwu, to Judy, the emperor of Yongle in Jingnan, it goes without saying that later emperors set off a frenzy of fornication. Jiajing Zhu Houxiao ⒙∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏∏8719 The dissoluteness of princes is even worse. Prostitutes enjoy nudity, men and women sit together, and people who care about each other stand dead or branded with cone axes. The so-called Biography of Ming Chengzu is a true portrayal of its ugly misdeeds.
People scoff at Ming Taizu's wanton behavior, and people of insight hate it even more. Huang Zongxi, a thinker in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, criticized the emperor as a scattered child in the article Yuan Jun in order to provide me with a kind of sensual pleasure. However, throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, there are also very few emperors who are single-minded emotionally. They love each other and admire each other, which is a model couple! Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, is a typical example.
1487, Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen died, and Prince Zhu Youtang succeeded to hongzhi emperor. That is, Ming Xiaozong in history. He was the only wise monarch who made great efforts in the middle of Ming Dynasty. After he acceded to the throne, he tried to reverse the defeat of Xianzong in the * * * dynasty, expelled the yes-men, arrested assistant minister Li Zisheng and eunuch Liang Fang, and dismissed his consorts and henchmen. Dismantle and eliminate officials, recall more than 1000 people, such as Ren Jie and assistant minister Jigang, and punish their crimes. Remove the titles of French king, Zen master, Buddhist master and real person, take back the seal and send it back to the mainland. And adjust the cabinet team, appoint talents, promote Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and other famous officials to participate in confidential affairs. Advocate outspoken suggestions, revise provinces repeatedly, seek outspoken opinions, and make officials speak bluntly. Pay attention to thrift, reduce and exempt the materials supplied, and save various expenses. Filial piety is diligent in political affairs and has repeatedly reduced or exempted grain taxes in disaster areas. It is forbidden for courtiers to ask about official business, and it is forbidden for imperial clan and honor to occupy land and people's interests. Attach importance to justice, let all departments in the world record felons and handle criminal cases carefully. In the 13th year of Hongzhi, namely 1500, the Regulations on Asking for Punishment was formulated. Five years later, "Da Ming Hui Dian" was compiled successfully.
Eighteen years of filial piety greatly weakened the phenomenon of eunuchs' disorderly administration, adopted some measures to develop the economy and save the crisis, eased social contradictions and appeared a relatively stable period. At that time, social and economic development was rapid, politics was clear, the ruling and opposition parties were stable, and foreign troubles were eliminated, which was called Hongzhi Zhongxing in history.
A.D. 1505, that is, May 7th, the 18th year of Hongzhi, died in Gan Qing Palace, aged nearly 36. He is a saint of Ming Dow Cheng Chun Zhong Zheng, and SHEN WOO has great respect for this emperor. It is said that filial piety is due to an unexpected cold. Eunuch, ambassador of TaiYuan, judge of the hospital, Liu, Gao Tinghe and others prescribed drugs without consultation, which caused XiaoZong to take the drugs by mistake and die of nosebleeds. Tailing was buried on1October19th. During the reign of Xiaozong, he not only chose virtuous ministers to participate in politics, but also worked diligently. He often calls cabinet ministers to the Wenhua Hall to discuss the minister's seal, and asks them to write down their comments, and then revise and issue them themselves. So, Li Dongyang, the etiquette at that time, once said, since Tianshun, for more than 30 years, the emperor summoned his ministers and asked only one or two words, but now he has repeatedly asked them and discussed them in detail. This is unprecedented! In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, Liu Jian, a university student, said that it was dark the day after tomorrow in the late dynasty, and documents sent from all over the country were often accumulated in cabinets, so it was too late to deal with them. If there are disasters in all directions, there are alarms in all directions, and there are other things, there will be delays. Therefore, Xiaozong specially convened relevant ministers to discuss on the platform twice every day, except in the morning and evening. Since then, a new way of deliberation has emerged, called platform summons.
Filial piety is generous and peaceful to the liegeman. In the early generation, filial piety served as a royal gate, and the minister said something and played it from the left and right corridors. Some ministers slipped on the ground and lost their manners. Filial piety never asks questions, nor does he correct mistakes in his notes. After the banquet, he also comforted the officials for their mistakes, lest they panic. In the cold winter, Xiaozong was afraid that some officials would suffer from cold and darkness when they went out to work at night. He once issued an imperial edict, ordering Beijing officials to return at night in the future, regardless of their positions, to send them by light. Although these things are not big, it is not easy for a feudal emperor to be so obedient.
Filial piety can also be frugal in life. In the first year of Hongzhi, that is, A.D. 1488, Lu, North Korea's envoy to the Ming Dynasty, once said to korean king, "The first emperor or courtiers sometimes had private intentions, but now the emperor has paid full attention to it to set it straight. I don't like playing with things. Although Melissa Zhou didn't waste the court meeting, all the court ministers mourned, but I sacrificed to heaven in yellow robes, and I didn't play music or juggle at the comfort banquet, so I advised the bed to put flowers instead of hairpin. Generally speaking, the first emperor did not manage everything well. Tang Xianzong liked to wear clothes made of fine red cloth made by Songjiang Prefecture before his death, and sent thousands more horses there every year. Although this kind of fabric is called cloth, it is actually made of fine wool. When Xiaozong was a prince, the chamberlain brought him newly sewn clothes. However, he thinks that the clothes sewn with this cloth are worth several pieces of embroidery. It's a waste to wear it. Thank you for not using it. When he became emperor, he immediately ordered to stop weaving this kind of cloth for the palace.
