Why didn t Zhu Qiyu prevent the restoration of Yingzong Mingzhi?

Because Zhu Qiyu had lost his capital at that time, the Ming Dynasty needed to continue, and the restoration of Yingzong was a matter of conformity. And although Yingzong was imprisoned in the South Palace back then and had no real power, he was a righteous emperor after all, and Zhu Qiyu couldn't find a reason to prevent this from happening. In short, the preparation and occurrence of this "door-seizing coup" was only a month, and it is impossible for Zhu Qiyu not to hear any disturbances, it can only be said that to this day, he has lost his absolute right to speak, and he is neither qualified to stop it.

First of all, let's first understand the causes and consequences of this "door-grabbing coup".

At that time, the candidate to succeed the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty, the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty were in decline, and the foreign enemy Wara was fierce, and the implementation of the policy was "directly aimed at Kyoto". Next is the "Tumubao Change", as the king of a country, Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wara and became a prisoner of the order. Da Ming suddenly fell into a leaderless situationOn the one hand, in order to calm the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, in order to break the threat of Warat, Zhu Qiyu was put in the position of emperor, which can be said to be an order in danger, but it is only an expedient measure.

After that, Zhu Qizhen returned to the Ming Dynasty, but at this time Zhu Qiyu was the emperor who held the real power, and the two emperors of one dynasty would eventually sanction one party. According to the records in "History of the Ming Dynasty: Emperor Jing", Zhu Qiyu imprisoned Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty in Nangong, and gave Yingzong the false name "Emperor Taishang". Regardless of whether Zhu Qiyu had the intention of sitting as an emperor before, he was obsessed with it at this time, and even later deposed Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince, trying to pass on his bloodline.

It's just that fate is changeable, Zhu Jianji died early, and Zhu Qiyu didn't have any heirs born after that, according to ancient sayings, it is taboo for the king to have no heirs.

Then, it is reasonable that this short-timed and efficient change of seizing the door happened, and Zhu Qiyu has no position to stop it, because the Ming Dynasty needs to develop, and Zhu Qizhen's restoration is justified. According to the records in "The History of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Chronicles of Yingzong", the ** who planned the restoration was only Shi Heng, Zhang Hui, Zhang Xuan, Yang Shan, Xu Youzhen, and Cao Jixiang, but later it can be seen that Yu Qian and Empress Dowager Sun were also among them. After all, Zhu Qiyu came to the throne only to alleviate the threat of Warat, and now he has no capital to succeed him at all, and he is seriously ill, so it is reasonable for Yingzong to ascend to the throne.

Because he knew that he would not live long, the country still needed the Zhu family's bloodline to pass on, and his throne should have been Yingzong's, so he happened to return it to him.

Because Ming Yingzong had already mastered the government at that time, and Zhu Qiyu was critically ill at that time, he couldn't get up at all, and he had no time to take care of the restoration of Ming Yingzong, and at the same time, Zhu Qiyu also let go of the knot of more than ten years and returned the power to his brother.

Because Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill at the time, he had no energy to prevent the restoration of Ming Yingzong. Zhu Qiyu died of illness shortly after the restoration of Ming Yingzong.

From the Ming Dynasty to the stage of Ming Xianzong, the prince only had two princes, Zhu Qizhen of Ming Xianzong and his younger brother Zhu Qiyu, so the relationship between the two of them was still quite deep.

Because he is a broad-minded person, he can accommodate all rivers, and he will not worry about the past and will not take revenge on others.

It is usually believed that Zhu Qiyu died of illness, and there is also a saying that he was killed, such as Zha Jizuo's "Crime Record" Volume 8: "It is the ninth day of the tenth month of the month, and King Yu has recovered from his illness." The eunuch Jiang Anxi ordered to strangle the king with silk and repay the king. ”。
