death:

1620 - The Taichang Emperor (August 28, 1582 - September 26, 1620) was the 14th emperor of China (Ming dynasty) in 1620. Born Zhu Changluo, he was the Wanli Emperor's eldest son. After the death of Wanli in 1620, Taichang ascended the throne but his reign lasted less than 1 month (the shortest of the Ming dynasty) and it was said that he died of illness brought on by sexual exhaustion (bwahahaha!!!)when he was presented eight beautiful serving girls by Lady Zheng. Taichang's reign was so short that at the time of his death in September of 1620, the late Wanli Emperor had not yet been buried.
