	Zhengde Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Zhengde Emperor (October 26, 1491–April 20, 1521) was emperor of China (Ming dynasty) between 1505-1521.
		Zhengde was created crown prince at a very early age and because his father did not take up any other concubines, Zhengde did not have to contend with other princes for the throne.
		Zhengde ascended the throne at the age of 14.

		The Jiajing Emperor (September 16, 1507–January 23, 1567) was the 11th emperor of China (Ming dynasty) between 1521-1567.
		The sudden death of Emperor Zhengde in 1521 created a temporary vacancy for the throne and the 14 year old Jiaqing was ultimately chosen to become emperor and relocated from his father's fief to Beijing.
		He was known to be a cruel and self aggrandizing emperor and he also chose to reside outside of the Forbidden city in Beijing where he could live in isolation while ignoring state affairs.

		The Hongzhi Emperor (July 30, 1470–June 8, 1505) was emperor of the Ming dynasty in China between 1487 and 1505.
		After Emperor Hongzhi died in 1505 he was succeeded by his son, the Zhengde Emperor.
		Unfortunately, Zhengde died childless in 1521 and the throne had to be passed to a cousin, effectively ending Hongzhi's own line of succession.

	Who do you consider the worst Ming emperor? - China History Forum, online chinese history forum
		I voted for Zhu Yijun the Wanli emperor, because while he wasn't as outrageous as Zhu Houzhao (Zhengde), he reigned about three times longer and for much of that time was simply an absentee ruler who secluded himself from his ministers.
		Furthermore, Zhengde's excesses were partly undone by Zhu Houcong (Jiajing), just like Chenghua's mistakes were undone by Hongzhi, but Wanli's mess could not be fixed up by anyone who came after him and truly spelt the end for the dynasty.
		Considering and comparing the damage and harm all the Ming Emperors have caused during their reign, i'd rank Shenzong as the worst Ming emperor, 2nd would be Yingzong, 3rd is Wuzong and the last would be Xizong, also know as the carpenter emperor-LOL.
