The Jianwen Emperor (5 December 1377 – probably 13 July 1402), personal name Zhu Yunwen, also known by his temple name as the Emperor Huizong of Ming and by his posthumous name as the Emperor Hui of Ming, was the second emperor of the Ming dynasty, reigning from 1398 to 1402.

In 220, the Han dynasty was in a state of decline. The Emperor Xian, son of the Emperor Ling, was only a figurehead and the eunuch Cao Cao had de facto control over the government. Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, was named heir apparent by the emperor. After Cao Cao died in 220, his son seized power and forced the last Han emperor to abdicate the throne. Cao Pi then proclaimed himself emperor of a new state, Wei. The jianwen emperor is most famous for being the last emperor of the Han dynasty.
