What kind of emperor was Qin Long in the Ming Dynasty?
Qin Long was the least mentioned emperor in the history of Ming Dynasty. His father, Emperor Jiajing, reigned for more than 40 years. He had a bad attitude towards ministers because he recognized who his father was. For more than twenty years, he didn't go to court, and he was busy writing blue words to refine the elixir. There are countless interesting stories, such as the killing of maids and the abolition of queens. His son, Emperor Wanli, also reigned for more than 40 years. He and his ministers have not been to the court for more than 20 years because they recognized who the prince was. He was busy courting the imperial concubine in the harem and fighting for some household use. There are also many interesting things, such as slap in the face, ethnic disputes and so on. Only he, Comrade Zhu Zaihou, sandwiched between two grandparents who have been in office for a long time, is rarely mentioned. In order to write about him a few days ago, I went to the bookstore to find some biographies of him for detailed reference. As a result, I broke my leg and couldn't find any monographs on this person. I don't like reading Lu, so I have to look for this man's story from various biographies of his father and son. His reign time ranked the fourth from the bottom in the Ming Dynasty, but the people below him were the lords with absolute stories, Emperor Wen Jian, who attracted countless eyes with the change of Jing Nan and his bizarre disappearance. Zhu Gaochi, Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, had to mention him when he mentioned the dispute between Chu Jun and Ren Xuan in Yongle period. Zhu Changluo, the Ming Emperor, is a wonderful story in his life. From the national crisis to the three major cases of Ming Palace, his life was really wonderful and really sad. Therefore, Emperor Qin Long was naturally placed in a neglected position. However, he, our comrade Zhu Zaihou, is an emperor worthy of writing. Perhaps it is the reason why few people pay attention to it. Qin Long gives the impression that he is lazy. After all, there are not many stories between him and the minister, which also continues the habit that his uncle and father don't like to see the minister. But whether subjective or forced, Zhu Zaihou, the emperor, was the most suitable for that era. He put himself in a very suitable position. He never cares about things he shouldn't care about, and he won't get angry with the minister like he did with his father and son. The political system, ideology and morality in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were very special in the history of feudal society in China. The governance of the country is gradually completed by the civilian class, and the emperor has less and less power and responsibility in administrative management, which has gradually become a tool and moral symbol used by a minister to fight for legislation. In layman's terms, ministers agree that the emperor can be put aside, and everyone hates the emperor's involvement in anything at this time, otherwise he will be in danger of becoming a tyrant; When ministers have different opinions, the emperor is the final arbiter. At this time, everyone hopes that the emperor will come out to support them. Otherwise, there is a danger of being called lazy and dizzy. At the same time, everyone also asked the emperor to be a moral model, and filial piety, benevolence, courtesy, faithfulness, diligence and righteousness are indispensable, otherwise there is a danger of being called a bad king or a tyrant. For example, Zhu Zaihou's uncle, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde, kindly asked the ministers to avoid bowing down because of the rain and water in the square when his grandmother died, only to be caught by the ministers. So in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the emperor was very poor. If anyone can fully meet this standard, Ming Xiaozong can be counted as one. After all, the emperor is very patient. Can't I do anything you want me to do? Even so, Xiaozong wanted to study Buddhism in his spare time and was finally forced to admit his mistake. Of course, in the literati's pen, it is written that the emperor suddenly wakes up and turns around. It is estimated that Zhu Houzhao, who was still young at that time, looked very unhappy, so when he grew up, he must stand up to the ministers and take it out on his father. Zhu Zaihou is the most suitable emperor to position himself. Like Xiao Zong, he always cooperated with ministers' demands and never interfered, because he knew that there were many people who were better than him. For example, he was definitely not as good as Xu Jie in politics and Qi Jiguang in training. Then why does he have to do everything himself? The cabinet and ministries can get things done, and the state machine of the Ming Dynasty can run as usual even if it is hanged in Zhu Zaihou (Emperor Zheng De died without an heir, so it's all right). However, he doesn't suppress himself as much as manager Xiao does, and he will still go clubbing. If he doesn't want to go to the early morning, he won't go to the early morning. Anyway, for the emperors of that era, the so-called early dynasty has become a boring ceremony. Might as well write a passbook or something. Anyway, he followed suit. Your ministers have done things well, and if there are any contradictions, they will still help you solve them, that's all. So his country is well governed, but his life is much more leisurely than that of Xiaozong. The ancients' ideal of "the emperor of heaven ruled the earth" is estimated to be the closest to this era-the Qin Long period of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zaihou is also a very clever man. From his mediation of the contradiction between Xu Jie and Gao Gong, we can see this man's strong vision. Someone once said that the lazy emperor was very lucky, because there were a series of celebrities in the empire at that time, such as Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang, Qi Jiguang, Li, Wang Chonggu, Hai Rui and Li Zhi. The shining stars made the empire develop quite healthily without the efforts of the emperor. This statement is really too subjective, because this man was the first to recognize the view that the emperor must not govern the country well without his efforts.
