After the death of Prince Zhu Biao
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not make his son a prince
Instead, he chose his grandson Zhu Yunwen as the heir to the throne
this particular passing arrangement
Let Zhu Yuanzhang's sons lose their lives
and resentment
It stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son Zhu Di, king of Yan,
There is no chance to walk into the emperor's throne
But a series of surprises
Disrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's plan time and time again.
Carefully laid out
Also let Yan Wang Zhu Di
Became the confidant of the Ming Dynasty

Ming Ming
last time
We talked about Zhu Yuanzhang after the death of the prince
re-establish successor
So what about the successor he chose in the end?
uh, it's his grandson zhu yunwen
What about Zhu Di?
And his brothers also think about it
Hope to be this successor
but it never works
did not get such a position
Although in Ming Taizu Records
There is such a record
say it
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once wanted to make Zhu Di the prince
Later, Confucian officials said
Then you have to make him the crown prince
How about Qin Wang Jin and his two elder brothers?
so
Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears
Then just let it go
In fact, we all know about this
This was written later
It's not true
anyway
Anyway, what about Zhu Di?
He was not the heir to the throne
This matter is for Zhu Di
he should be depressed
if we
we feel that way too
why
because of ability
by ability by effort
Depending on various conditions
he is better than these guys
stronger than his brother
stronger than his nephew
Just because I was born a few years late
Ranked fourth
no hope
Ancient China
His succession to the throne
Is he talking about heir succession?
or you are the boss
if the boss is not
the queen's son
well then you are the son
if neither
no matter how good you are
Can't line up
So what about Zhu Di?
It should be said that he is not happy in his heart
But then again
think about it
Zhu Difeng became the King of Yan in Beiping
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's son
prince of the highest rank
Except for the heir to the throne
The prince was later the grandson
Then they have the highest status
And he has a heavy army
Guarding such an important position in Beiping
His two older brothers are inferior to him
he was in his father's mind
in the minds of his brothers
His position is very important
That's pretty good to say
If Zhu Di has such an idea
ah i think this is satisfying
Then nothing will happen. It's good.
But Zhu Di doesn't think so.
he thinks
He should be able to inherit his father's throne
But this time
Zhu Yuanzhang is still here
Both his brothers are still there
Ah, if he puts his eagerness
show up
What about the consequences for him?
it's going to be bad
so he has to
have to wait patiently
What about waiting?
just for several years
How has he been these past few years?
at
In the second year after the death of his elder brother Prince Zhu Biao
Something happened in the court
This is the first year of the Ming Dynasty
What a troubled time
Successive incidents in the imperial court
what happened this time
There is a great general Sapphire
this person
Has been in charge of this military in the north
Leading troops to battle many times
made a lot of contributions
Therefore he also bowed domineeringly
supercilious
Hey, something happened this time
Zhu Yuanzhang charged him with treason
said he was going to rebel
So I arrested him, interrogated him, and killed him.
Moreover, a red head document was released
This file is called reverse sink record
including sapphire
Yes, there are many heroes
How many were there?
There are thirteen marquises and two uncles
and some civil servants
roughly add up
There are more than 15,000 family officials
Was it killed by this one?
exile exile
Where are these engineers?
from
Hu Weiyong case
Thirteen years of Hongwu to the present
Sapphire case
two big cases
Killed tens of thousands of people
This is the biggest event in the early Ming Dynasty
Political event
Because Hu Weiyong is the prime minister
So it was killed
It's the official
It also includes some military officials
This time, Sapphire is the general
In this case, mainly military officials were killed.
you want 13 hou
two uncles
Hobo is a hero
What about the two big cases?
Just let these heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang rise up
The civil servants and military generals inside were all killed
Actually this sapphire or Hu Weiyong
It is impossible to rebel
especially sapphire
He should actually say that he is very loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang
But because this man is too domineering
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it
Ah, such a rampant warrior
ah
How dare he make such a fuss when I'm in charge of him now?
I will die in the future
my grandson is so kind
Can you still manage him?
Why don't you kill me first?
That's bad luck for Sapphire.
You may remember what we said before
This Sapphire was originally to please King Yan
Please Zhu Di
I sent a horse to Zhu Di
He went north and captured war horses and gave them to Zhu Di
Zhu Di refused
He said you give me these horses
Doesn't that make me unfaithful?
These things should be dedicated to the court
for my father
How smart is Zhu Di?
he already saw it
A domineering general like Sapphire
there will be no good end in the future
so he distanced himself from him
After the Sapphire case comes out
It should be said that the one who benefited the most is King Jin and King Yan
Because of these two people
Sick and go to war in the north
guard the city to the north
hold the army
The more the high-level
The great generals with military power killed
The military of the two of them
more important in the military
Zhu Di is the King of Yan in Peiping
The king of Qin, the king of Jin, two kings, one in Xi'an and one in Taiyuan
Shanxi and Shaanxi
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to see the King of Qin
So Jin Wang took it
The important position of the military defense of the two western provinces
So at this time, it is time to talk about ranking
On the importance of strength theory
On Zhu Yuanzhang's Degree of Emphasis
Jin Wang also sent in front of Yan Wang
He is more important than King Yan
The brothers
Everyone wants to be Zhu Yuanzhang's heir
So the brothers
The most powerful
strongest
since
Twenty-three years of Hongwu
not once
That was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the two of them to march north
Go to fight against that captain in Beiyuan
where not to spend
Isn't there such a battle?
What is the result of this battle?
It was Zhu Di who set off from Beiping
Where is King Jin from?
Taiyuan expedition
two people
Simultaneously ordered to go out
King Jin led his army in the northern desert
Turned around in the ice and snow
came back with nothing
Zhu Di's expedition has achieved a complete victory
Ah, I caught this one where it doesn't cost me anything.
He also surrendered
As a result, I got this reward from Zhu Yuanzhang
after this happened
Jin Wang
Take this King Yan as your imaginary enemy
because on this issue
King Yan surpassed him
He knows this person is a threat to his future
He is looking for the fault of Zhu Di, king of Yan, everywhere.
if they get a chance
to Nanjing
When I went to court to meet Zhu Yuanzhang
This king of Jin, Zhu Gang, is always finding fault.
Thinking about far's provocation
His purpose is very clear
Because Zhu Yuanzhang likes him
Brother, let's fight
Then Zhu Yuanzhang must be facing Jin Wang Zhu Gang
So what?
Zhu Di, king of Yan, will suffer setbacks
Hey, King Jin's goal has been achieved
But how smart is Zhu Di?
how could he fall into his trap
So no matter how provocative this King Jin is,
what is it called in the history books
language blind date
use
language
i will piss you off
Where is this King Yan?
always back down
In the end, I had no choice but to say I was sick.
Oh, I'm sick, I'm not in good health
I ask you to let me go back to Peiping
I have to get sick
Just avoid his contradiction
After returning to Beiping, the King of Jin still doesn't give up
sent someone to investigate him
Investigate the details of his palace
small things are small things
It's about those ciphertexts that are unknown
The results of it
nothing
Zhu Di is very cautious
ah
So Jin Wang Zhu Gang
He can't do anything
He has nothing to do with this king of Yan
But the conflict between the two brothers has never been resolved.
to inherit the throne
Zhu Yuanzhang's sons have already started fighting openly and secretly
These practices and ideas for sons
It is impossible for the wise and mighty Zhu Yuanzhang not to know
But he believed in his own arrangement
Yet another disaster struck
this accident
How much impact will it have on Zhu Yuanzhang's layout?
Speaking of which
Let's go back and look at Zhu Yuanzhang
This thing about sails
You see Zhu Yuanzhang divided up so many sons
Guard outside
What about inside the court?
At the beginning, the eldest son, the prince, was released with a gentle personality.
The prince died and released a grandson
He is a young and benevolent king
Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't understand
said his sons
Will it threaten his grandson in the future?
but from
King Jin and King Yan
We can see the contradiction between these two people
He thinks it's okay
why
Because they hold each other
yeah he has an army too
He also has an army
Ah, he is the third child, and the fourth child is also here
Yeah, the fourth one wants to
if there is any action
The third child will never let him succeed
The third child wants to say that he wants to replace this
The fourth son of the emperor's grandson will not let him succeed
This mutual restraint
to a certain degree
This guarantees the implementation of Zhu Yuanzhang's layout
So Zhu Yuanzhang thinks about this move
It is also a high flag
is he like the layout
To set up such a game of chess
Let his Zhu family rule the world
passed on from generation to generation
But we people
often have a word
what is this sentence called
It's better to say that people are better than God
No matter how good your calculation is
you don't know how lord he calculates
Hey sure enough
This person is not as good as God's fortune, and this situation has arisen.
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu
this year
Where is Zhu Di?
leading the army
The team is going to war in the north
Suddenly got the news
what news
His second brother Qin Wang died
It's the second brother sealed in Xi'an
Qin Wang Zhu Shuang is dead
This is Zhu Shuang
also in his 30s
Not much different from his elder brother Prince Zhu Biao
didn't live much longer
look
Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son and second son
They all died in their 30s
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang is also very sad
So he doesn't like the second son
ah but after all
This is his old age bereavement
another son died
After King Qin died
It did not affect Zhu Yuanzhang's game of chess
why do we say that
because
So you look at Zhu Yuanzhang, he doesn't point at him
Northwest area
He mainly relies on King Jin
So King Qin
It didn't help much when it was alive
so dead
more so
All these important events in the Northwest
It's all controlled by King Jin alone.
Zhu Yuanzhang
For his sons
What's his attitude?
There are thin and thick
King Jin is one of his most trusted sons
Zhu Di is not as good as the king of Yan
that's it
Where is Zhu Di?
I had no choice but to bury my head with my tail between my legs
in the north
Let the expedition go
keep the side
Back in the palace, be careful and actively prepare
unobtrusive
A few years have passed in such a flash
Although the elder brother and the second brother are gone
But as the fourth brother Zhu
still not possible to walk into the throne
Because the third brother is more trusted by the father
More because of his father Zhu Yuanzhang
Huang Taizun has been established as the heir
But disaster strikes again
Once again disrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's ups and downs
Zhu Yuanzhang felt an unprecedented crisis
what kind of accident is this
came in a flash
Thirty-one years of Hongwu
That is, AD 1398
This year
something happened again
this time
For Zhu Di
that's a great thing
For Zhu Yuanzhang
but it's not a good thing
what's the matter
King Zhu Gang of Jin is dead
look at it
it's amazing
This Zhu Di is the fourth eldest
There are three brothers in front
what a coincidence
He can boil all three brothers to death
By now he's really the boss
really became the boss
Zhu Yuanzhang gave another order to the North
written instructions
just suddenly remembered
only one son left
The mighty King Yan is in the north
Of course
he gave him this command
He sent it down
but in his heart
also understand a truth
the whole game of chess
The game of chess he laid out will come here
can't go on
nothing to go
all forms change
what to do
find a way to solve this problem
Is it solved?
If you give Zhu Yuanzhang time
He will definitely find a way to solve this problem
but god
That's it
Humans are not as good as Gods
don't give him this chance
other best
most beloved son
After Jin Wang Zhu Gang died
three months
he died too
Thirty-one years of Hongwu
It is the leap month of 1398 AD
Zhu Yuanzhang died in
The capital is the palace in Nanjing
aged 71
This is the history of the early years of the Ming Dynasty
Let's read this history
It's just thrilling
What's the matter?
Just be able to walk step by step like this
came to such a point
Before Zhu Yuanzhang died
he has realized
All his plans might go wrong
when he can't handle it
He secretly summoned a person
what about this person
one of his favorites
Princess Ningguo's son-in-law
At that time, it was called Captain Consort.
Mei Yin
He secretly recruited Mei Yin to the palace
let him tell him
To assist the emperor's grandson
At this time he said something
It's true
Don't worry about being called the King of Yan
but it's too late
because when he said that
He has no way to deal with this worry
The life of Zhu Yuanzhang
it really makes us feel weird
You see he cut all the thorns off that wooden stick
to his son
Said to cut off all the thorns
so you have a thornless stick to pick up
The results of it
He gave this grandson one of the toughest sticks
and in the end
He also knew it would end like this
he can't do anything
So if that's the case
Zhu Yuanzhang passed away
Zhu Yuanzhang took great pains for his successor
However, his carefully arranged chess game
Yet another crisis
until you have to face reality
Zhu Yuanzhang is powerless
as a founding monarch
Zhu Yuanzhang is wise after all
Before he died, he left another will
So what did he say in this edict?
Can this help the new emperor Zhu Yunwen get out of the predicament?
According to the history books
Zhu Yuanzhang left a posthumous photo
It's the last words
He said a lot of things in this will
Tell me how hard you work, right?
How to serve the world
How to let this offspring live forever
able to maintain such a world forever
How do you love the common people?
wait wait a lot of things
speak well
There is such a sentence
after I die
Don't you sons come to the capital to attend the funeral
where the kingdom is
Civil and military history
the ones in your kingdom
civil and military officials
listen to imperial restraint
Do not listen to the temperance of the kings
Listen to the king for the guard
only your palace
Guard officers and soldiers listen to you
The king's order
Everything else should be commanded by the central government
There is such a passage in this legacy
when we read this passage
We felt that he was very much like back then
Huang Zicheng
The conversation with Zhu Yunwen at the east corner gate
what about that conversation
Said that if something happens
That is to say, the emperor, your grandfather, a hundred years later
what's the problem
He said
Kings have only guards
The rest of the army is under the unified command of the imperial court
so we have heavy troops
His bodyguard is self-preservation
So the court can control the situation
Look how interesting this photo is
I think this thing
we can
ponder him
Look at Zhu Yuanzhang
King Jin died three months before his death
What about after King Jin died?
Secretly Summons Consort Mei Yin
not only let him
this help
Zhu Yunwen will assist this Emperor Jianwen in the future
Assistant Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor
he has his arrangements
This is called dying alone.
Then he must have had one
will
he must have
But in this will
not necessarily these
A lot of content here has been changed by people.
must have been tampered with
Politics in Chinese history has always been like this
an emperor died
his legacy
Some are simply written by later generations.
He writes a posthumous move according to his needs and intentions
Said he had such a dying order
how how
we all have to implement
this legacy
also such a situation
Definitely is
Zhu Yunwen is even Zhu Yunwen's close officials
Ministers around
Rewritten
Look at his core content of this move
just two
one is you
All the vassal princes who are entrusted outside are not allowed to enter Beijing
no one is allowed to come
The second three armed forces listen to the dispatch of the central government
no one can mobilize
just control those two things
to control the whole situation
Zhu Di doesn't know yet
He hasn't seen this trick yet
The first letter he got was that his father had passed away.
How dare you neglect
Take your sons with you
Part-time job
to Nanjing
came to the funeral
As a result, this group of people
Go to Huai'an
Hey, I met one sent by the imperial court
A lieutenant of Jinyiwei
What about the lieutenant?
just take this
Zhu Yuanzhang's
Leftovers
I read it to Zhu Di
This Zhu Di heard
no solution anymore
No matter who wrote this trick, it's true or not
Instead he is
A move from the first emperor
He had to return happily
he goes back
But everyone heard this move
kings
Not allowed to attend funerals in the country
But it didn't say that the sons of kings could not come to the funeral
So he asked his sons to tell you to go
go on to the funeral
He himself follows the order of the will
returned to Peking
this matter
historically disputed
Say is there such a thing?
have no idea
Ah, because it is recorded in some books
It is said that several princes at that time
They all ran to the capital
Came to the capital
say this
After Zhu Yuanzhang died
It's the emperor's grandson who is very angry
I think these doctors didn't treat this well.
This Zhu Yuanzhang sees a doctor
So they killed several doctors who took the wrong medicine
only one doctor
Dai Li
Ah, he thinks this doctor is amazing
Not only did they not kill him, but they also commended him and gave him a promotion
After these vassal kings came to Beijing, what happened?
I was very touched to hear this
Everyone ran to see this, but the principle
And what about King Liao?
I also wrote him two large banners called Ren Yi
It's nice to say he's so benevolent
there is such a record
According to this record
That means the kings are going to mourn again
entered Beijing
Is there a funeral or no funeral?
Ming Dynasty people are confused
Later, there were people from the Ming Dynasty
I feel like this needs to be clarified for him.
So I went to look through the archives of the year
Hey, he found it in the files
There is such a captain
This lieutenant really took this file to
to Huai'an
Really read it to King Yan
true
Therefore the name record
It's all recorded in the name
explain
The kings were not able to go to Beijing for the funeral
According to this so-called posthumous photo of Zhu Yuanzhang
The vassal kings are not allowed to go to Beijing for the funeral
This inhuman photo
Chinese cultural traditions that emphasize loyalty and filial piety are incompatible
This cannot prevent future generations from doubting his authenticity.
Then the edict
Why should the sons be banned from entering Beijing?
Funeral for the father?
There is no such thing as going to Beijing for a funeral.
actually i think
What Zhu Yunwen did was not clever
think about it
We Chinese are the most affectionate
father died
Can't see each other for the last time
unreasonable
After hearing this, everyone thinks it's inappropriate to do so
But Zhu Yunwen has Zhu Yunwen's ideas
I'll do it, I'll let you all
See you in Beijing
When I came to Beijing to meet, I faced a
very troublesome question
Because you are all my uncles and elders
but i am the emperor
How can I be the emperor?
There were regulations at that time
Rules say
The kings enter the dynasty
Acting as a monarch and his ministers
Hey, you are uncle
even higher seniority
whoever you are
You entered the court and met the emperor, the emperor is no longer a junior
You also have to honor him as a king and minister
He is the king and you are the subject
retreat
no longer up
Household etiquette
You see, after he left the imperial court,
you should be uncle you should be uncle
what should you be
So he got the emperor again, little taste
I have to give this elder a family gift
so it's a hassle
ah in this case
This Zhu Yunwen must feel that one thing more is worse than one thing less
Besides, if he said
The kings can come and divide the spoils
all come
These vassals are connected in series to discuss
Said that you are so young to be the emperor
this country
This is unstable
we don't worry
Well let's find another one
A man of high morals should be the emperor
Then this person must be Zhu Di, King of Yan.
right
Then Zhu Yunwen won't be able to play the throne
Is this possible?
it's very unlikely
why
because it is after all
Zhu Yuanzhang's designated successor
it's legal stuff
If you want to tell him the kings, connect them in series
changed him
it's not that easy
but
there is another situation
that's easier
what's the situation
Kings in series
said you are so young
no governing experience
We are not at ease with you running the country
But you are the successor appointed by the emperor
The emperor is still up to you
But we're going to have a regency
help you manage the country
this is bad
this possibility
is big
So Zhu Yunwen didn't allow them to come
He's going to be emperor before they come
solve these problems
After Zhu Yuanzhang died
a few days
6 days
Zhu Yunwen enthroned
became emperor
how fast do you see
He can't make time for problems to arise
as soon as possible
country stabilized
everything is fine
As soon as Zhu Yunwen said it, he became the emperor
And sure next year
It was his second year as emperor
Change the year name to Jianwen
How interesting do you see
His grandfather gave the emperor's reign title Hongwu
grand martial arts
We conquered the world with our great martial arts
established the country
When he inherits his grandfather's world
He changed the text
I'm going to build a country of quality
Don't want your Hong Wu
It's a mutant
Everyone can see a signal from it
It means that the country is about to enter the stage of culture and quality.
Entering the stage of quality
The generals who led the troops to fight
I'm going back to the second line
You won't be able to run the country on stage
The civil servants are going to run the country
on the surface
this is absolutely correct
Because you can win the world immediately
Can't rule the world right away
How do you rule the world on a horse?
you can fight and conquer the world
when you want to rule the world
we have to sit down
To explore the strategy of governing the country
but
This change will affect the interests of quite a few people
This change will cause dissatisfaction among many people.
He lurks another new contradiction
Zhu Yuanzhang's vigorous life is over
He was buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan, Nanjing
But he didn't know that after his death
An even more dramatic event happened
what event
we'll talk about it next time
Thanks
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death
The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen's several generations of reign titles
Sometimes the emperor is gentle and honest
Uncle Guan Wang is eyeing
Emperor Jianwen finally made up his mind to cut off criminals.
However
His first knife did not reach the most powerful Yan
But Wang Zhudi aimed at the humble King Zhou
Why is this
Why this nephew vs uncle fight
