Guide: Wei Zheng once summed up the prince of subjugation in Chinese history: "The ancients have words, the monarch of subjugation, and many talents, the Liang, Chen and Sui are not false." From the perspective of Emperor Yang of Sui, Houzhu Chen, and Huizong of Song Dynasty, it is indeed very reasonable. However, there was an emperor in the Ming Dynasty who was not less than the above three talented emperors in terms of talents and literature, but successfully avoided this trap. As an emperor; he created a period of prosperity in the Ming Dynasty, as an artist; his work is still an insurmountable peak of Ming court paintings. This man is the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.

(1) In the 9th year of Yongle (1411), the all-talented emperor

with the highest artistic achievement in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di decided to make his grandson Zhu Zhanji the emperor's grandson. Zhu Di died in 1424 and the throne was inherited by Prince Zhu Gaochi, less than a year later , Zhu Zhanji, 26, took charge of the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty. Before he was in Nanjing, the Minister of the DPRK and China Xia Yuanji and the eunuch Yang Yingmi did not mourn to create time for his succession. At a critical moment, the situation was very critical, and the officials of Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji persuaded him to lead a large number of guards back to Beijing to ensure safety. Zhu Zhanji said, "I just arrived in Nanjing and I will return to Beijing immediately. Who can expect it? If the emperor's father is on top, and the world is in his heart, who will have two hearts? Besides, if my father called me back to Beijing, how could I delay it? ?" "Ming Shilu". Finally, he gave up the guards of soldiers and horses and galloped along the post road. Because Zhu Zhanji was decisive and swift at the critical moment, he escaped Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu's preparations for an ambush in Shandong. On June 12, Zhu Zhanji officially became the emperor, and was changed to Xuande next year. Although he only reigned for ten years, he became a very accomplished emperor in the Ming Dynasty. With the help of the "Three Yangs", Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other wise ministers, the economy and internal and external environment of the Ming Dynasty have achieved unprecedented development, creating the "rule of benevolence and xuan", which can even be compared with all prosperous times. Zhou Youcheng, Kang, Han had literature, scenery, and the style of the three generations. "The Chronicle of the End of Ming Dynasty".

He has been highly valued by his grandfather Zhu Di since he was a child, and he thinks this child is "brilliant." He also made it clear that he would not become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, Zhu Di arranged for him an excellent education team, coupled with an open-minded personality, good at accepting advice, and a clear judgment on national governance. "Compared with Zhao Ji in the Song Dynasty, his artistic genius may be even better than Zhao Ji. His works are still collected in the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Lerson Art Museum in Kansas City, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Etc." "Huang Renyu Chinese History". Z2z

Zhu Zhanji showed amazing talent at a very young age. He was quick to write articles and his poetry level was unique. Especially in painting, the late Ming scholar Huang Jingfang commented: "Xuanmiao (Zhu Zhanji) poetry and painting are fascinating. Poems are long and quatrains, rolling endlessly. Painting flowers and birds." Zhu Zhanji self-proclaimed "Changchun real man", during his time in power , He strongly promoted the development of court painting. "Especially good at painting things, all landscapes, figures, flowers, bamboo, feathers, and all are perfect." "History of Silent Poetry."

He Liangjun, a connoisseur and painting critic in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, commented on his life artistic creation with a very objective and professional vision. He believed that Zhu Zhanji’s paintings were not necessarily first-rate in the entire historical painting scene, but they were in the emperor’s The paintings are indeed top-notch works without a doubt. In addition to his artistic achievements,

also excels in riding and shooting. In May of the eleventh year of Yongle, Zhu Zhanji had "all shots in a row" in the "Looking at the Willows" in Dongyuan, Beijing. At the age of 12, he stayed in Beijing with the assistance of Minister Xia Yuanji. When he was 16 years old, he followed his grandfather Zhu Di. Every time Zhu Di entered the camp, Zhu Zhanji would send his own "young army" to watch outside the camp. From the fifteenth year of Yongle (1417), he stayed in Nanjing with his father Zhu Gaochi and was deeply loved by his father. After his father Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne, he ordered "Chinese and foreign notices to be ruled by the prince," and he got a good experience. Destiny seemed to favor him especially, but in just one year, Zhu Gaochi died, and he instantly became the helm of the Ming Dynasty.

(2) When Kangxi personally rectified his name

ascended the throne, he showed considerable courage, facing internal and external troubles, first put down the rebellion of the emperor Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu. At this critical moment, he showed strong coping ability. In addition to doing a thorough defense, he decided to go to Shandong in person and said: "The King of Han dares to rebel. One will deceive me when I am young, and then I will not dare to conquer. BeforeGoing to conquer, the King of Han was able to lure them to surrender with warnings, and luckily succeeded. "So under Zhu Zhanji's swift attack, the Han rebels soon fell apart. The willpower of this young emperor instantly became the backbone of the empire. In addition, one of his decisions showed astonishing political courage, stopping from 1406. The Ming dynasty’s military use in Jiaozhi since 1989 has transformed the Ming dynasty’s overall strategy to resume production. “In 1430 AD, the Suzhou government owed 8 million shi in taxes, which was the amount payable for this place in three years. Therefore, Zhu Zhanji did not inherit a comfortable throne on the day of his ascension. "He often starts dialogues with farmers, investigates the procedures for collecting taxes and paying taxes, and studies the reasons for tax arrears. At the same time, he fills in various gaps in the process, corrects sporadic mistakes, and suggests new commercial taxes. All banknotes are used to ease inflation. "Huang Renyu's Chinese History"

Zhu Zhanji was a rare wise emperor in the Ming Dynasty, who had made achievements in both civil and martial arts. During his administration, there was no overwhelming foreign and internal troubles, no party disputes, no policy disputes, and the people at that time Living standards have improved. Like the warm breeze of the Ming Dynasty, his deeds instantly blew the hair of the people of the empire. Although Zhu Zhanji’s personal conduct is by no means as "white jade flawless", his personal life is reported to be competing with officials Prostitutes fight for the wind and become jealous and other folk gossips, and even said to the imperial doctor: "You mean man is arrogant, I want to use Chinese medicine in the house, but you can control me. The imperial physician refused to say no. Zhu Zhanji was furious and cursed, "Why are you from Jiangnan like this", and finally sent him to prison. Such a low-level fabricated "journey" is for people with a little bit of historical common sense. Said that these are all deliberate spoofs on him. As a top politician and artist, how could such a low level act?

The Xuande Dynasty was the golden period of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire empire gradually stabilized from the initial turmoil. Comment on Zhu in the Qing Dynasty. Zhanji had many negative remarks, even Kangxi couldn’t stand it. In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi (1790), when the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty public opinion portrayed him as a "cricket emperor" or even a "lust and brutality," Kangxi said At that time, Zhu Zhanji was very dissatisfied with the public and historical evaluations. He specially called the scholars to issue an decree: "I think the master of the Hongwu family's foundation, the merits are prosperous, and the xuande is the preservation of the talents. Although the games are different and their deeds are different, they are all motivated for a while. ...If you praise Hongwu and Xuande, and write as a commentary, I can still instruct the ministers and workers to write an article called beautiful. It is not what I can tolerate. "Z2z

" After Kangxi personally set the tone and issued the highest instructions, "Ming Shi" no longer had any disagreements with Zhu Zhanji, and the evaluation became more and more fair and objective, saying that he "after ascending to the throne, the officials were appointed to his position, and the politics were balanced. Xiu Ming, Cangyu is full of envy, and the year is not in disaster. Gai Ming is prosperous to sixty years, and the people's spirit is gradually relaxed, and there is an image of peace. "Worried that Kangxi was still not satisfied with this evaluation, so he gave a high summary and praised "The heroic figure of the emperor, and the ancestors of warriors!" "Not only is he handsome, but he is also a master of martial arts, and he is basically comparable to Zhu Taizu. Zhu Zhanji, who is a talented artist, not only left a beautiful picture to the world, but also showed uniqueness in history. Daming heroic figure. The emperor’s talents will not perish the country but can also rejuvenate the country vividly, so that in the history of Daming, people can see the dazzling historical picture of Yuyu, which makes people fascinated.
