Ming Yingzong regained his position as emperor with the change of seizing the gate, which was tantamount to seizing the throne of his son, so he won the throne incorrectly?

Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The three most famous things in his life were the transformation of the fortress, becoming a captive emperor, but he returned to Ming Dynasty in just one year, and in eight years. Later, as the Supreme Emperor, he launched to seize the gate, , and became the emperor again, which is unique in Chinese history.

The second is to become famous for the teacher, and kill the hero Yu Qian .

Third is to abolish the burial system of imperial concubines and do a good thing.

Speaking of the emperor of Ming Yingzong today, many people think that Ming Yingzong initiated the change of seizing the door and abolished the throne of his younger brother Ming Dynasty Zong Zhu Qiyu, and re-emerged as the emperor. It is the emperor who has an improper position, even the most improper position. What's going on, Song Anzhi will talk specifically about it today.

People who hold this view think so, mainly because they think that Ming Yingzong initiated the seizure of the door and became emperor again, which is tantamount to stealing his son Zhu Jianshen , which is the throne of Ming Xianzong, which delayed him for eight. Years of succession.

In fact, this view also has a certain basis, because Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji has only two sons, Ming Yingzong and Ming Dynasty , and Ming Dynasty Zong was taken prisoner by Ming Yingzong’s imperial conquest, he became the emperor from the imperial country and secured his throne. After that, he tried his best, and even bribed the minister, abolished the position of the prince of Ming Yingzong’s son Zhu Jianshen, changed him to the king of Yi, and established his only son Zhu Jianji as the prince, and Zhu Jianji obviously did not have this prince. Fate, that is, one year of being a prince will die early.

So in the eighth year of Jingtai, the Ming dynasty was seriously ill. Before Ming Yingzong initiated the seizure of the door, the heir of Ming dynasty who could choose at that time was the original prince Zhu Jianshen, because his only son died early, and he could only get from The elder brother Yingzong was looking for heirs in the same line, and he couldn't afford to go near and far, and find other cousins ​​or the heirs of collateral brothers further away to inherit the throne.

So the restoration of Ming Yingzong was tantamount to seizing the throne of his son Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, which delayed Zhu Jianshen for eight years, and he did not succeed until Ming Yingzong died. Therefore, Ming Yingzong was improperly reigned. The most improper, because he competes with his son for the throne.

But is it really that simple? It is not.

On the surface, according to the patriarchal lineage, after the only son of the Ming dynasty clan died early, he could only choose the heir from the line of his brother Mingyingzong. You could not skip this line and look for someone further away.

But this is only theoretically impossible. At that time, the Ming Yingzong's imperial conquest, Daizong was only a feudal king Jianguo , and the crown prince Zhu Jianshen was there. It stands to reason that he could not become the emperor, but he did not become the emperor?

logically stated that Daizong was only acting as an emperor. After Mingyingzong, the authentic emperor, returned, he should return the throne to Mingyingzong, but it turned out that he did not.

Looking at the situation at that time, it is actually full of uncertainty.

First of all, the Ming dynasty did not determine the heir until the change of the door to the door, and did not clearly restore Zhu Jianshen's crown prince.

and although in theory the Ming Dynasty clan can only choose the former prince Zhu Jianshen, the son of Ming Yingzong, but in fact the relationship between the two parties was very tense at the time. Zhu Jianshen was a good prince, and it was abandoned. After Ming Yingzong returned to Ming, he did not return the throne. Just give it to others, and put him under house arrest in Nangong like house arrest. It can even be said to abuse Ming Yingzong. Ming Yingzong has nothing to do and likes to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Yu Shi Gaoping said that there are many trees in Nangong, although treacherous people are hidden, Ming Dynasty Zong cut down the tree immediately, making Mingyingzong have no trees to lean on, and was deprived of the right to enjoy the cold. This shows the tension between the two parties.

whileAt that time, there were also wall-riding factions. In addition to ministers who supported Zhu Jianshen, the son of Liming Yingzong, as the crown prince, there were also some ministers who knew about the tension between the Ming Dynasty and Mingyingzong, so they wanted to figure out the holy intentions, and wanted to vote for the Ming Dynasty's favor, such as Wang Wen and Xiao Weizhen Waiting for ministers means that welcomes the prince of King Xiang to be the prince ; who is King Xiang? He is the younger brother of Ming Xuanzong, the uncle of Ming Dynasty Zong and Ming Yingzong, and the relationship between Ming Dynasty Zong and Zhu Jianshen's uncle and nephew is much longer. However, the relationship between King Xiang and Ming Dynasty was not tense, which was their greatest advantage.

means that the ministers were divided into two factions at that time. One faction believed that according to blood ties, Zhu Jianshen, the son of Ming Yingzong, should be established as the prince; the other faction believed that the son of King Xiang should be established as the prince. Both sides expressed their intentions to the Ming Dynasty. Clear attitude, but intend to make the final decision at the North Korean meeting on the 17th of the first month.

However, on the 17th of the first lunar month, the seizure of the gate took place. The Ming Dynasty Zong had no time to express his position, and he lost his power, and Mingying Zong was restored smoothly and became the emperor again.

In summary, when the Ming Dynasty was seriously ill, Zhu Jianshen, the son of Liming’s Yingzong, was not determined to be the crown prince. He still had a choice of xiang, the prince’s son, . For the relationship between Yingzong, Zhu Jianshen, a nephew, was made the prince; but it is more likely to be the prince. After all, for the highest authority, he suppressed Ming Yingzong and Zhu Jianshen very seriously. In the end, he just returned Zhu Jianshen's deserved crown prince. Can you really guarantee Zhu Jianshen's succession to the throne in the future? Like

, it would be better to hand over the position of prince to Prince Xiang, who shouldn’t be the prince. He was grateful, and he would surely have a reputation for succession in the future.

Of course, no matter what the Ming Dynasty clan chooses, as long as he does not confirm that Zhu Jianshen is the crown prince, then the restoration of Ming Yingzong does not mean that he has seized the throne of his son Zhu Jianshen. Naturally, there is no problem of improper reign.

can’t assume that there is no certainty, that is, Zhu Jianshen’s history of not being clearly established as a prince by the Ming dynasty. He directly determined that he would definitely be established as a prince, and further believed that the Mingyingzong’s restoration was to grab his son, that is, he was wrong. The point of view is untenable.

and took another ten thousand steps to say that Ming Yingzong was originally a genuine emperor, and he regained his throne through a coup, why not? If for some untenable reasons, he is considered improper, or even the best. Misplacement is a big mistake.

Objectively speaking, in the turmoil within the door, the biggest problem of Ming Yingzong is not the issue of right or wrong, but the wrongful killing of Yu Qian who has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. A big stain in the history of Chinese justice.

Although Ming Yingzong abolished the imperial concubine burial system, and according to historical records, he was a charming and good character emperor, but he was famous for his teacher, even if he could not bear to kill Yu Qian, even if Yu Qian did not have any sins, but It is also because of his "intention" to welcome Prince Xiang's son, and the killer , which shows that politics is actually very ruthless, and its cruelty can be seen through the unjust murder of Yu Qian.

And this big stain in Ming Yingzong’s life actually affected the fate of the Ming dynasty invisibly. Even with one heart for the country and great contributions to the society, he ended up with an unpleasant death. If things go on like this, it will greatly aggravate the literati class. The fear of disaster, so by the end of the Ming Dynasty, under internal and external troubles, the ministers of the imperial court were mostly perfunctory, and few were loyal to the country. Even Li Zicheng's army marched into Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen asked the ministers to donate money, and these ministers also held money tightly. Bags, the imperial court had no money to stabilize the military, and eventually the Ming Dynasty fell.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian was not a person who could turn the tide, but in the Ming Dynasty 276 years, many people dedicated to the country were unhappy. In such an environment, how can you cultivate Yu Qian's character?

Even with such a character, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is no room to play, which is really embarrassing.

Of course, no matter what the Ming dynasty has for more than two hundred years, it cannot be used as a cover for those shameless apostasy officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Although the ruling class’s methods are too strict, there are also problems with apostates. It cannot be concluded solely based on one reason.
