Ode to Zhengde

I, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne at a young age and established himself in heaven and earth. How could I have accomplished nothing? Build a leopard house, use eight tigers, make firecrackers, and repair sea ships. Expedition to the little prince in the north, capture Jiaozhi in the south, conquer Japan in the east, and march into Turpan in the west. Play happily with eunuchs, battle wits and courage with ministers, hook up with nobles, and bargain with the clan. All of this is to change the world and write a different ode to righteousness for this world.
