Ranking of the Three Bad Kings in Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yijun, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian were the three worst emperors in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun 1

Zhu Yijun was born in 1563 and became king in 1572. From the age of 10 to the present, he reigned for 48 years until his death. He was the longest-serving emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and he was usually one of the three bad emperors who didn't go to court for 28 years.

After spending all the Tang Yin accumulated in Wanli, eunuchs were appointed in the later period, and local officials and central officials colluded with each other to plunder wealth, which aroused the civil rebellion, and the external Nuerhachi regime began to rise, and the external situation of the Ming Dynasty began to lag behind because of the defeat of the Battle of Salhu.

2. Zhu Youxiao

Zhu Youxiao was born in 1605, and was in office from 1620 to 1627. During his reign, the courtiers headed by Wei Zhongxian were in charge of state affairs, and the emperor was also obsessed with cultivating immortals and asking about politics, indulging in debauchery and letting himself drift.

When he was in power, the imperial court persecuted many Lindong party member who tried to reform, plotted the contradictions within the society, which led to the continuous outbreak of civil strife and peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty, and got rid of many good enemies from outside, which eventually led to the capture of several cities by 8 Jin Army, which put the Liaodong War at a disadvantage and eventually led to the death of some so-called panacea.

3. Zhu Youjian

Zhu Youjian was born in161year, and became king in 1627. He was also the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was the third emperor among the three bad emperors in the Ming Dynasty, he was diligent in political affairs and ordinary unjust imprisonment during his reign, but the Ming Dynasty at that time was turbulent, with internal and external troubles.

Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs in China were eliminated by civilian groups, which indirectly contributed to the influence of civilian groups, and eventually led to the constant change of court officials because of their suspicion, and also led to the death of many loyal ministers and good generals for the same reason, which finally led to the emperor hanging himself after Li Zicheng captured Beijing.
