Zhu Houzhao once led a great army to defeat Mongolian fighters. Why does the history book say that he is dissolute and heartless?

Because after Zhu Houzhao's death, it was not his son who succeeded to the throne, but his cousin Zhu Houzong. There is no record of any feud between Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houzong in the history books, but Zhu Houzong tampered with the description of Zhu Houzhao in the history books immediately after he ascended the throne. Zhu Houzhao has always been an ignorant and lewd image in our impression. There are even rumors that he has many royal daughters and imprisoned many prostitutes. Whether it is true or not, isn't it normal for ancient emperors to have many concubines?

In fact, Zhu Houzhao made a lot of contributions to Daming. According to historical records, Zhu Houzhao was smart and brave since childhood. He likes learning martial arts from others very much. In the same Wang Zizhong, Zhu Houzhao's ability is always the best. Not only that, Zhu Houzhao is one of the few emperors who are not afraid of death in history. During his reign, the Mongols invaded the territory, and Zhu Houzhao personally led the troops to kill the enemy. Zhu Houzhao on the battlefield was always at the forefront, not the incompetent person described in the history books.

As for Zhu Houzhao's lewdness, I think it is even more nonsense. Zhu Houzhao was only 16 years old when he ascended the throne. Although he is only a young man, he is very diligent and studious. The most important thing is to have a very good relationship with his wife, Queen Zhang. Husband and wife believe in monogamy. Even though Ma Huanghou didn't give birth to an heir for him, Zhu Houzhao never blamed her. If, as the history books say, Zhu Houzhao likes women, then after Zhu Houzhao's death, he won't be his cousin Zhu Houzong, and he will have many children!

Zhu Houzhao has always hated the Mongols for daring to invade China's border. He always wanted to raze Mongolia to the ground in his lifetime, but he was jealous of talents. It is very regrettable that Zhu Houzhao died young. And because of Zhu Houzhao's death, Mongolia was able to make a living, and finally went to Daming to rob, and even finally captured the emperor alive.
