Why did the Ming dynasty after Judy not have a good emperor, but it lasted for more than 200 years?
I also believe in the immortal feats of Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy. Zhu Yuanzhang started this company in the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally had to plan for what would happen later. As a result, he established a strict bureaucratic system, which led to a clean northern expedition to Mongolia, ensured the abolition of the imperial power of the prime minister, and did almost everything to consolidate his position for future generations. This is also the reason why later emperors were lazy, including Judy. Otherwise, how can he form a cabinet? Zhu Yuanzhang is simply a model worker. Secondly, the definition of a good emperor is not verbal political clarity, but can be defined by "three benefits". Besides, good emperors are generally not good people. Judy killed the ladies-in-waiting, and after the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang, six dukes were killed by him. In my opinion, the only person who is both a good man and a good emperor is Zhu Youtang, who is open-minded and diligent in political affairs. He is also known as the "cricket emperor", so we can't deny the monarch among the emperors after the Ming Dynasty. Another reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was officials, who were unscrupulous, worried about the chaos in the world all day, and even scolded the emperor's private affairs, and then impatient Chongzhen was inevitable. After the Ming dynasty, the emperor's own power has been sidelined, and the cabinet has gradually become stronger. At the peak of Zhang Da, it has surpassed relative power and imperial power. Therefore, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not entirely investigated by the emperor. And correct that both Harry and Qi Jiguang died of natural causes in the 15th year of Wanli, which is not without happy endings. The other famous officials you mentioned, except Zhang He and Yu Qian, are all secondary figures in history. Even if their death shocked the time, they could not change history. It is not uncommon for emperors to kill loyal ministers in history, but in the Ming Dynasty, loyal ministers were mostly killed by the emperor's behind-the-scenes hands. For example, Yu Qian was killed by Yingzong at the instigation of Xu Youzhen, and Yingzong regretted it afterwards. Finally, the rise and fall of the dynasty can never stop the development of history, so don't pursue the survival time of the dynasty too much. Hope to adopt!
