In August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), accompanied by Hakka, Wei Zhongxian and others, Zhu Youxiao went on a cruise to Xiyuan. Drinking on a big boat in the shallow waters north of Qiaoqiao. He went boating in deep water with Wang Tigan, Wei Zhongxian and two trusted eunuchs.

The Story of Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao:
1, the "acceded to the throne" storm continues.
There were three major cases in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, namely "beating people", "red pill" and "moving the palace", and Zhu Youxiao's succession directly involved the latter two cases, which may have laid the groundwork for his tragic fate.
The succession of the Apocalypse Emperor was very hasty and embarrassing. His father, Ming Guangzong, died of sudden illness after only 29 days in office. According to historical records, during Guangzong's reign, he was lewd and dissolute, and died suddenly after taking the "red pill" elixir under the temptation of eunuchs.
Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, Wang Cai, died long before he ascended the throne. Sixteen-year-old Zhu Youxiao was involuntarily pushed to the forefront of history and became a victim of complex political struggle.
According to the ancient system, whenever the emperor ascended the throne, he should immediately move into Gan Qing Palace to live. Although poor Zhu Youxiao inherited the unification in name, he became a puppet in prison at the beginning of his succession. This is the famous case of "moving the palace" in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
As mentioned above, his biological mother died young, and he was raised by Li. Li is an ambitious woman. She tried to seize the emperor to create the world, so she seized Zhu Youxiao and coerced her ministers to make herself the empress dowager.
Ministers have written in opposition, demanding the return of the emperor. But the snowflake-like memorial service can't shake Li's determination to put all his eggs in one basket. Finally, eunuch Wang An came up with a plan to pretend to be Prince Bandu, which was taken away from Li by famous tourists.
Li had to move out of the palace. Cabinet ministers established Zhu Youxiao as emperor, and the next year changed to "Apocalypse", and the succession storm slowly subsided.
2, internal and external troubles, unable to return to heaven
When the Apocalypse Emperor ascended the throne, it coincided with the decline of the national fortune and the stormy autumn. There are nomads from outside, and there are peasant uprisings inside. At the time of national disaster, as the son of heaven, he did not think about revival and was addicted to carpentry. No matter how exquisite the skill is, it will inevitably be criticized.
However, Zhu Youxiao is not a completely idle bad king. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he relied heavily on Lin Dong and party member, made them hold important positions in the imperial court, and eliminated some traitors, which made the official administration slightly clear. With the help of party member, he rehabilitated the sage Zhang Ping.
Hire Fang Xiaoru, a man of loyalty and filial piety, to repel the western powers that covet Macao. Although these measures may only touch the surface of the Ming Dynasty, they show the determination of a young emperor to try to participate in politics.
Unfortunately, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of land annexation was serious, and most emperors were incompetent, which led to the relegation of power and the rampant eunuch party. The people's lives are miserable, and they are desperate to expose the uprising.
In addition, the rising Jurchen nationality is growing step by step, and the iron hoof is directly driving the Central Plains. As "History of Xizong in the Ming Dynasty" said: "Since Shizong in the Ming Dynasty, the spirit was reduced to the last year of the reign of God, which was extremely bad. Although there is a king who has just become a hero, it is difficult to revive. "
It is only a matter of time before the Ming dynasty, which is hard to return, collapses. In this case, no matter how wise Zhu Youxiao and SHEN WOO are, it is difficult to stop the wheel of history from rolling forward, what's more, he is still an "illiterate emperor" with low educational level.
