@augustus you should read more history on China, especially the Ming dynasty. it's very entertaining stuff. the trajectory of emperor quality is similar to most other notable long lasting empires. long lines of mediocrity or batshit crazy punctuated by a couple brilliant ones that extend the dynastys lifespan by a couple more decades so their descendants can fuck everything up again.

>Although the Zhengtong Emperor was a prisoner of the Mongols, he became a good friend to both Tayisung Khan Toghtoa Bukha (1416–1453) and his grand preceptor (taishi) Esen. Meanwhile, to calm the crisis at home, his younger brother Zhu Qiyu was installed as the Jingtai Emperor. This reduced the Zhengtong Emperor's imperial status and he was granted the title of Tàishàng Huángdi (emperor emeritus).
>Historians at the time, in an effort to avoid what is an obvious taboo of the country's head of state becoming a prisoner of war, referred to this chapter of Yingzong's life as the "Northern Hunt"
