29 NOVEMBER 1427 : BIRTH OF CHINESE EMPEROR ZHENGTONG
Zhu Qizhen, eldest son of emperor Xuande, was born on 29 November 1427 and enthroned in February 1435 with the era name of Zhengtong
On 5 September 1449, at the age of 22, as he was fighting the Mongols of Esen Khan at the Battlle of Tumu Fortress, he was captured. He became a friend to the khan who, because he caught apoplexy, freed him.
While he was prisoner, his brother Zhu Qiyu took the power as emperor Jinghai and when Zhengtong came back, he was put under arrest for almost seven years.
In February 1457, Zhengtong took advantage of his brother illness for despositing him and start a second reign as emperor Tianshun. He died at the age of 37 on 23 February 1465.
He is the one who put an end to the custom which obliged some of the emperor concubines to commit suicide and follow him to the other world.
