The Jingtai Emperor (景泰 IPA: [tɕìŋtʰâɪ]) (21 September 1428 – 14 March 1457), born Zhu Qiyu, was Emperor of China from 1449 to 1457. The second son of the Xuande Emperor, he was selected in 1449 to succeed his older brother, the Zhengtong Emperor, when the latter was captured by Mongols following the Tumu Crisis. He reigned for 8 years before being removed from the throne by his brother, who was restored as the Tianshun Emperor. The Jingtai Emperor's era name, "Jingtai", means "Exalted View".
Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne in 1449 after his older brother, the Zhengtong Emperor, was defeated and taken prisoner by the Oirat Mongols of Esen Khan.
The Zhengtong Emperor was eventually released in 1450 after the Mongols learned that the Ming government had installed Zhu Qiyu as the new emperor. After that, the Jingtai Emperor continued to rule as emperor while his brother was granted a technical title of "grand-emperor" and was forced to live in obscurity.
During the Jingtai Emperor's reign, aided by the prominent minister Yu Qian, he paid particular attention to matters affecting his country. He repaired the Grand Canal as well as the system of dykes along the Yellow River. As a result of his administration, the economy prospered and the dynasty was further strengthened.

** WARNING : This video is 99.9% very likely to make you say,"This video is a waste of my time".** The point of this video is to warn people to not buy imitation mini 4WD cars. Bought at TESCO @ Paradigm Mall for RM4.90 (AUD1.70). In a separate note, I visited the only Tamiya store in Malaysia ('officially recognised by Tamiya'), hoping to stock up on parts but... 1) shockingly under-stocked 2) the owner wasn't very knowledgeable (eg I asked him which motor I should get for my very small 2-lane oval track. And he kept pointing to only one of two available motors saying, "Get this motor, very fast" repeatedly while texting on his phone. Looks like the store deals more with Tamiya radio controlled cars. 3) On a good note, the shop did have a really big mini4WD track instore.
