Because when his father was in power, the national strength was strong, and a number of powerful people emerged in Hongzhi Zhengde Dynasty. On this basis, Zhu Houzhao could consume national strength in this way. Walking the dog and teasing the monkey couldn't satisfy Zhu Houzhao's pleasure, so at the instigation of the Eight Tigers headed by the great eunuch Liu Jin, the Leopard House was established. The leopard room is similar to the zoo now, but Zhu Houzhao not only kept all kinds of wild animals in the leopard room, but also let musicians and concubines live in it, and became addicted to it, even died in this place.
People always have dreams. Zhu Houzhao's dream is to become a military master like Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy. He hoped that he could lead his troops to the front, but the emperor, as the king of a country, had little chance to go to the battlefield. So he gave himself the title of commander-in-chief of the powerful military affairs of the Governor-General, and changed his name to Zhu Shou. He also established a town government in Fu Xuan, and later called himself the town government. This is unheard of in history. No emperor wants to be a minister. This behavior was opposed by civil and military officials, but Zhu Houzhao still did whatever he wanted.
In the twelfth year of Zheng De, the little prince of Mongolian Tatar tribe invaded the border. Zhu Houzhao wanted to teach the little prince a lesson, so he took his cronies, Jiang Bin, and they slipped out of the palace in the dark. After they left Juyongguan, Zhu Houzhao came to the border area of the border pass in the name of inspection, but was finally persuaded by ministers to return to the palace. On my journey to the west, I met the little Mongolian prince in Yingzhou. How could Zhu Houzhao miss this opportunity? So he commanded the military and horses to fight and killed one enemy himself. This encouraged the Ming army, whose momentum had been damaged, and its morale increased greatly, thus reversing the disadvantage of being besieged. However, the Mongolian army is not good at fighting in the plain. Seeing such a rapid Ming army, I immediately decided to retreat.
In the fourteenth year of Zheng De, Zhu, the king of Ning, set out again and made a personal expedition. With the record of defeating the enemy last time, Zhu Houzhao was not hindered too much this time. However, before he met the rebels, Wang Yangming ended the rebellion. Hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao was very unhappy and felt that his desire to fight was shattered. So, he decided to release the rebel leader Zhu, and then personally arrested him and held a grand banquet to celebrate the victory. This kind of behavior is also wonderful.
Zhu Houzhao is definitely the most disgraceful emperor in history. He not only neglected state affairs, but also did a series of incredible things. Although there were emperors who liked carpentry and poetry in history, no one was as outstanding as Zhu Houzhao. In Zhu Houzhao's mind, there is no religious etiquette. As long as he can make himself happy, he will do whatever the world doesn't understand, and he is stubborn. Everything finally made him a great emperor.
