Reign of Ren and Xuan

The Reign of Ren and Xuan refers to the reigns of the Hongxi Emperor and the Xuande Emperor, during which they adopted the policy of Jian Yi (蹇義), the Grand Secretaries Yang Shiqi (楊士奇), Yang Pu (楊溥), Yang Yong (楊榮) (the Three Yangs, 三楊), Xia Yuanji, and  of loosely governing the country and resting troops to support the people. This made the eleven-year period of their reign (1424–1435) an era of clarity in the administration of officials, economic development, and social stability in Ming history.
