Zhu Houzhao
Zhu Houzhao (26 October 1491 – 20 April 1521), known as the Zhengde Emperor, was the tenth Emperor of the Ming dynasty infamous for his lackluster leadership and childish disposition.[1]
Of his concubines, his preferred choice was Shao Jun, who eventually became a member of the Chinese Assassin Brotherhood after his death; he liked abusing his power and often used Jun for mischief and humiliating the court.[2]
He was eventually succeeded by his nephew Zhu Houcong, the Jiajing Emperor – secretly backed by the Templars – due to Zhengde's lack of a legitimate heir.
