The only emperor who ascended the throne in white in Ming Dynasty.
On his deathbed, Zhu Changluo entrusted courtiers to assist Zhu Youxiao as "Yao Shun". At this time, some new atmosphere appeared in the imperial court, and there was indeed an opportunity to reverse the decadent situation. However, as a master of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao did not have the temperament of "Yao and Shun". He is just an ignorant teenager with no culture and no opinion. For courtiers, although they expressed admiration and respect at first, they did not feel close. He felt more cordial when he was surrounded by nannies and eunuchs. His emotional tendency soon led to a surprising reversal of the political situation.
Shen Deqian, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said, "The imperial court in Xi Temple is decadent and shriveled, which alienated Fu Bao from his relatives. The eggplant flowers are intertwined, and the flame in the sky is so rampant. "
Zhu Youxiao likes all kinds of entertainment.
For example, he likes hunting, and turned the open space behind the ten warehouses in the inner government into a hunting ground: "After the ten warehouses in A and B, the old place is open, and small groups encourage them to cut Artemisia so that they can gallop freely. When I arrived, I saw a rabbit with a knife in its hand. I was covered in blood and confused. Everyone makes him happy when I roll my eyes. " He also reopened his internal work for fun. "On the day of internal strength, you must ride a good horse first and ride the middle road for several weeks." This is also one of his hobbies. He often plays ball in Yongshou Palace for fun, and even "makes a five-circle hall by hand". He also "likes watching martial arts dramas, giving banquets in the Maoqin Hall and performing more legends of Yue Zhongwu". His best skill is carpentry. He is "good at architecture, monasteries and music rooms, all with axes and saws." In addition to major projects, he often makes small objects. "Hand-made lacquerware, grinders, comb boxes, or brightly colored ones are all ingenious and unexpected."
Zhu Youxiao is addicted to games and has no intention of running state affairs. His relationship with courtiers is getting farther and farther, and his relationship with nannies and attendants is getting closer and closer. His addiction to these hobbies provided an opportunity for eunuchs to monopolize power. It is said that Wang Tigan, the eunuch in charge of documents, played with documents when Zhu Youxiao was busy with carpentry. Zhu Youxiao's mind is not on the content of the document at all. When they finished playing, they said loudly, "Do it with your heart, I know!" " As a result, power gradually shifted, Hakka and Wei Zhongxian came to power inside and outside, and North Korea soon got out of control.
