Emperor Yingzong of Ming, born Zhu Qizhen, served as the sixth and eighth emperor of the Ming dynasty. Initially ascending to the throne as the Zhengtong Emperor in 1435, he faced a turbulent period during the Tumu Crisis in 1449 when he was captured by the Northern Yuan dynasty, leading to his deposition in favor of his younger brother, the Jingtai Emperor. However, in 1457, Emperor Yingzong successfully deposed the Jingtai Emperor and resumed his rule, taking the title of the Tianshun Emperor. His reign extended until his death in 1464.
