No. 11 Wu Zong, Zhu Houzhao -- 1506- 1521
Emperor Wu (Zhu Houzhao) presented himself as temperament quite the opposite of his father, Xiaozong. Not interested in the state affairs, he often preferred indulging himself in costly pleasures. When it came to decision-making, he handed over the control of state completely to the eunuchs to their great delight. He died without a direct heir. ⇦ Back to No. 10 - Emperor Xiao ZongReturn to Ming Dynasty Emperors Page 2 On to No. 12 Emperor Shi Zong ⇨ |
