Zhu Qizhen (November 29, 1427 – February 23, 1464) was an emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhengtong's accession at the age of eight makes him the first child emperor of the dynasty hence Zhengtong was easily influenced by others namely his eunuch Wang Zhen.
The ZhengtongEmperor was released one year later in 1450 but when he returned to China, he was immediately put under house arrest by his brother for almost seven years.
The Battle of Tumu Fortress (Chinese 土木堡之變 tu3 mu4 bao3 zhi1 bian4) was frontier conflict between Mongolia and the Chinese Ming Dynasty leading to the capture of ZhengtongEmperor of China on September 8 1449 by an utterly wrong deployment.
ZhengtongEmperor favoured a eunuch Wang Zhen, who suggested that the emperor lead an ambitious expedition of five hundred thousand troops to repel the Mongols and boost morale.
The emperor was captured and most of his accompanying bureaucrats, including Wang Zhen, were killed.

Zhu Qizhen (November 29, 1427–February 23, 1464) was an emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
The ZhengtongEmperor was released one year later but when he returned to China, he was put under house arrest by his brother for six years.
After the death of his heir apparent, the JingtaiEmperor fell ill and he was deposed by a palace coup which eventually reinstalled Zhu Qizhen as emperor, who called his second reign Tianshun ("heavenly obedience").
Zheng He, a eunuch, served as a close confidant of the Yongle Emperor of China (reigned 1403 - 1424), the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Upon his return to power China abandoned the strategy of annual land expeditions and instead embarked upon a massive and expensive expansion of the Great Wall.
They were primarily conducted to increase the prestige of the emperor and the costs of the expeditions and of the return gifts provided to foreign royalty and ambassadors more than offset the benefit of any tribute collected.

Zhu Qizhen ruled as the ZhengtongEmperor from 1435-1449 and 1457-1464, with the early part of the intervening period spent as a prisoner of the Mongols (after a badly-advised campaign) before being released.
The period 1436-49 was the Zhengtong reign (hence the ZhengtongEmperor).
