The Jiajing Emperor (1507-1567) was the 11th Ming dynasty Emperor of China who ruled from 1521 to 1567. He was the former Zhengde Emperor’s cousin, who died heirless. He was not in the natural line of succession but was chosen through political plotting, including that of Zhang Yong and his Tigers, as he had links with the Templars.
