There have been nearly 500 emperors in Chinese history, but only a few are well-known. Some achieved great things, while others were tyrants and incompetent rulers. Zhu Yunwen, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, leaves a deep impression, albeit negatively. He became the only emperor in Chinese history to be successfully overthrown by a prince, making him a complete incompetent ruler. His ultimate fate remained a mystery for over 600 years. A road trip to the mountains of Fujian revealed the tomb of Emperor Jianwen (Zhu Yunwen), finally solving this long-standing mystery.
