Zhu Zhanji's martial arts are also extremely outstanding, he not only has outstanding talents in governing the country and the military, but also is quite good in literature and art.Zhu Zhanji, Yashang Hanmo.He is especially good at painting landscapes, people, animals, flowers, birds, grasses and insects.His calligraphy and painting works are often given as books to important ministers, with the date and name of the recipient on the book, and the seals such as "Treasure of Guangyun", "Treasure of Wuying Palace" and "Yongxi Shiren".In other words, in addition to being an emperor, Zhu Zhanji is actually a talented man, and his poems, calligraphy and paintings are also quite famous.Of course, the most famous is that Zhu Zhanji likes to play with crickets.When Zhu Zhanji was the emperor, he had the name of "Taiping Tianzi and Promoting the Weaving Emperor" among the people.Weavers, crickets, folk called crickets.Zhu Zhanji likes to play crickets, this is a well-known thing in the world, but no one is perfect, gold is not enough, the emperor is the emperor, he is also a person first and foremost, as long as he is a person, it is inevitable that there will be such and such hobbies.As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Zhanji likes to play with crickets, although this is a bit of a suspicion of not doing his job, but who can say anything?
It's enough for a bad guy to play crickets and govern a huge country well.It's better than his unfilial descendants, right?
The number of examples of these emperors of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that none of them are normal, no wonder later generations show that the emperors of the dynasty are very strange.Let's talk about Zhu Zhanji's great-grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, in the Yuan Dynasty, the names of the Han people were very arbitrary, basically arranged by numbers, so Zhu Yuanzhang's father gave him the name Chongba.This is just like the truth that many animals were named after animals in the early years of our founding, such as: two dogs, or dog eggs, etc.However, Zhu Yuanzhang's name is of great significance, heavy eight is sixteen, and the Ming Dynasty has a total of sixteen emperors, Zhu Yuanzhang and his father can give such a meaningful name to a peasant, it is really not easy.and Zhu Zhanji's father Zhu Gaochi, that is, the fourth CEO of the Ming Dynasty.This emperor was the fattest emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also the most edible emperor.How fat is Zhu Gaochi?
This guy is so fat that he needs two chamberlains to help him walk, and he is so fat that he eats it.He has never been to the front, so why can he be an emperor?
Good luck!
His younger brother Zhu Gaoxi is brave and good at fighting, and has the spirit of his father Zhu Di, his father Zhu Di originally had the idea of making Zhu Gaoxu the prince, but he is not the eldest son, and the old Zhu Di can't stand the bombardment of the official, so he somehow set up this fat man as the emperor.However, Zhu Gaochi stepped down after ten months as emperor, because he died of illness - a disease purely eaten out!
Needless to say, Zhu Zhanji, the cricket emperor!
And Zhu Zhanji's descendants are even more unbearable.One of his gray grandchildren is named Zhu Houxi, that is, Emperor Jiajing, he is an authentic Taoist emperor, but he reigned for a very long time, forty-five years.When Emperor Jiajing first ascended the throne, he was still very energetic.Because he himself was a foreign vassal on the throne, he wanted to make a good name for his parents, but the ministers did not agree, because this matter stimulated him, and then he did not have much contact with the ministers.I didn't care about the major national affairs, and I didn't go to court, and I got into the Taoist industry.Emperor Jiajing grew up in the land of Jingchu, which is the birthplace of Taoism, so in the later period of Jiajing, he basically did not care about national affairs, and practiced the elixir day by day, in order to seek the art of immortality, and was called "Taoist Emperor".Zhu Zhanji's gray grandson also has a name Zhu Yijun, that is, Emperor Wanli.Emperor Wanli became an emperor at the age of ten, but he always had a big stone on his head, and the government was completely entrusted by Zhang Juzheng, and he himself was an empty shelf.Even if the poor Wanli Emperor was really depressed and couldn't stand the luck of finding a palace maid, he could be raised to the height of the country by Zhang Juzheng.Finally, Zhang Juzheng died, and listened to those officials every day, and finally directly picked on the son and quit, and he didn't go out of the palace for 30 years, ignored the government, did not go to the suburbs, did not temple, did not see, did not criticize, did not speak, as for the last dynasty, it was even more impossible, and it was also capricious to the extreme!
The most important thing is that in this way, the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished, as for Zhu Zhanji's other gray grandson, Zhu Youxiao, that is, Emperor Tianqi of Ming Xizong, it is even more wonderful, known as "Ming Dynasty Luban".To say that this emperor is even more bizarre, because people's professional skills are carpenters, the only carpenter emperor in the history of China, the emperor is just a part-time job, and maybe a part-time job cannot be counted.Emperor Apocalypse's father was not treated well since he was a child, so he also suffered, he was wooden since he was a child, he didn't read, and he didn't know a few big characters.However, the family had a good life, and after the "palace transfer case", he was proclaimed emperor.When he was the emperor, Wei Zhongxian was originally a gangster on the street, because he was good at drilling camps, he entered the palace as a eunuch; And the Rong family is the emperor's nursing mother, naturally deep feelings, at this time the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and the scourge of the Rong family snake and rat litter, often united to persecute the Donglin Party.The carpenter emperor did not go to court, and Wei Zhongxian also picked the emperor to report the situation when he was doing carpentry, and the emperor said: You can watch it.The carpenter emperor slowly sent the Ming Dynasty to death.Anyway, from Zhu Yuanzhang to Emperor Chongzhen, there was almost no normal emperor in the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Zhanji just likes to play with crickets, which is pretty good.Of course, Zhu Zhanji not only likes to play with crickets, he also has a great hobby, that is, he likes to enjoy playing with incense burners, after all, he is also a literati in his bones, literati, if he doesn't have a bit of an elegant hobby, can he still be called a literati?
When Zhu Zhanji was the emperor's grandson, his grandfather was very strict with him, so even if he liked to enjoy the incense burner, he didn't dare to do it wantonly, because he knew very well that once his imperial grandfather Zhu Di knew about it, he would definitely be convicted of being a plaything.After Zhu Di passed away, Zhu Zhanji's father only served as the emperor for ten months, and then after he ascended the throne, there was no one in the world who could control him anymore.Therefore, not long after Zhu Zhanji came to power, the impulse that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out completely.As soon as Zhu Zhanji came to power, in order to satisfy his hobby of playing with incense burners, he ordered the import of 39,000 catties of wind-ground copper from Siam, which is now Thailand, and instructed Lu Zhen, the imperial craftsman of the court, and Wu Bangzuo, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, to design and supervise the production of incense burners with reference to the styles of the famous porcelain of the firewood kiln, Ru kiln, official kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, and Ding kiln in the imperial palace, as well as historical books such as the "Xuanhe Bogu Catalogue" and "Archaeological Map".In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, Lu Zhen trembled and told the emperor that if he wanted to make a good incense burner, the copper had to be refined six times.After refining once, less, after six times, only half of the raw materials will be left.But what kind of person is Emperor Xuande, he is the Son of Heaven, not only wealthy, but also has a strong sense of quality.Therefore, Emperor Xuande immediately ordered that the number of refining should not only not be reduced, but also doubled, that is, refined twelve times, and added precious metals such as gold and silver.So the craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and carefully cast them together with red copper more than ten times.After great efforts, three years after Xuande, the best copper incense burner was finally successfully produced.This batch of wind-milled copper cast a total of more than 3,000 incense burners, and they have not been produced again.Emperor Xuande saw this batch of incense burners that he personally asked, each of them was abnormal, full of treasure, and he had a great sense of accomplishment.Most of these incense burners were displayed in various parts of the court, and a small part was also rewarded and distributed to the emperor's relatives, prominent ministers, and various temples with large incense burners, as well as envoys of subject countries who came to pay tribute.These Xuande furnaces are only known by ordinary people, but not by their shape.After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the copper incense burner cast in the three years of real Xuande is almost invisible.This first batch of cast Xuande furnaces is so exquisite, so it has aroused the covetousness of many people.Even after the Xuande palace closed the furnace for three years, there are still people who want to continue to imitate the Xuande furnace.Among them, the supervisor who was responsible for supervising the construction of the first batch of Xuande furnaces at that time gathered the original craftsmen again and cast Xuande furnaces separately.However, due to the shortage of raw materials, the wind-ground copper has been used up and has not returned, and the casters can only replace it with yellow miscellaneous copper, although the workmanship is as exquisite as before.The form is more varied, but the copper is finally not as good.At the same time, the bottom paragraph has changed.The number of words has increased, and it is "Wu Bangzuo, the official of the five-year supervision department of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty" and "the supervision of Li Chengde, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Labor", etc., and there are regular paragraphs and seal paragraphs.In addition to the contemporary imitation of the Xuande Dynasty, there were also imitations in the Zhengde period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there were also a large number of imitations.Therefore, in modern times, there is no shortage of Xuande furnaces imitated by the Ming Dynasty on the market, and there are also many imitations of the Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China, but the real Xuande furnace produced in three years is difficult to find.At present, on the market, there is no real Xuande furnace produced in three years, and many people even say that there is no real Xuande furnace in three years!
Originally, Yang Jing also thought so, the real Xuande furnace has long been gone, and now the collections on the market and in the museum are all imitations.But by the way, these two quaint and atmospheric Xuande furnaces appeared in front of me, what is going on?
The Xuande furnace of Xuande for three years does not have a standard type, and the two Xuande furnaces in front of them are also different in style.One of the copper furnaces is round, open, with a base, and two dragon ears on both sides, and the style is very strange.However, Yang Jing still recognized the style of this copper incense burner at a glance, which was the smallest number of dragon-eared furnaces in the Xuande furnace.This kind of dragon ear stove is usually specially used for the emperor's study, which can be placed on an incense table alone, or placed five feet west of the copy, or on the case, on the bright cabinet, and the large vessels above six inches can be placed in the hall, room, hall, etc.Like this dragon-eared stove, with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, that is, more than six inches, it is obviously an incense burner that can be placed outside the study.As for the other copper incense burner, the shape is very simple, with three legs and a flat round belly, although it looks very simple, but its lines are extremely elegant.Yang Jing also recognized the style of this copper incense burner, which was the second largest surviving furnace in the world, second only to the dragon ear furnace.Although the style of these two copper incense burners is extremely rare, the color of the wind-milled copper is extremely positive, and the pulp is very round, and there is also a six-character regular script of "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" at the bottom, which does not look like imitation in later generations.However, for the sake of insurance, Yang Jing still used the holy ring to identify, and the result was not surprising, these two copper incense burners were the Xuande furnaces cast in 1428 AD, that is, the third year of Xuande!
