Zhu Shiyuan, the fourth son of Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, was buried in the tomb of Ming Chengzu in Zhongxiang, Hubei. The reason why this mausoleum was changed from the imperial tomb to the imperial tomb was because of his son Zhu Houzong, Emperor Jiajing of Ming Sejong. In the eighteenth year of Jiajing, Jiajing's mother, Queen Jiang, died. Jiajing intends to move his father Zhu Shiyuan's tomb from Zhongxiang to Beijing to be buried with his mother, but this idea was opposed by the DPRK ministers. Later, Jiajing was helpless and thought it was a good thing to leave his father's grave in Zhongxiang. He was born in Zhongxiang, in order to remind future generations that Zhongxiang had an emperor, so he ordered people to expand the size of his father's tomb to the size of the emperor's tomb and call it.
As the son of Zhu Shiyuan, Jiajing should not have ascended the throne of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why he can be called Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty can only be said that he is very lucky. At that time, Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor Amin, died at the age of 30, so he had no children, and his father Zhu Shitang, the Emperor Amin, had no other princes, so the minister of the DPRK chose Zhu Houzong, the nephew of Ming Xiaozong and the cousin of Ming Wuzong, to inherit the throne.
In principle, when Zhu Houzong succeeds to the throne, he must admit that his uncle Ming Xiaozong is his father, which makes sense. However, Zhu Houzong had a great personality, refused to recognize Ming Xiaozong as his father, and even regarded his father Zhu Shiyuan as a hero. Sacrifice the emperor? . Personally, I think this is mainly because Zhu Houzong knows that there is no other emperor except himself, so he is so arrogant. This is also a famous "big etiquette" dispute in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, Emperor Jiajing achieved his goal.
