Notes

  1. The Taichang Emperor originally planned on 4 October 1620 (Taichang 1, 9th day of the 9th month) created his eldest son Zhu Youxiao (the Tianqi Emperor) the crown prince. On 26 September (the 1st day of the 9th month), after the Taichang Emperor died, Zhu Youxiao inherited but did not become the crown prince. Three crown princes of the Tianqi Emperor were all named posthumously, and the last official crown prince was Zhu Changluo.
