The most cattle emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the successful rebellion, Zhu Di, who stole the throne from his nephew Zhu Yunjiao, counted his grandson Zhu Zhanyuan the Prince of Xiang.
Zhu Di did not say that as the uncle of Emperor Jianwen, he was forced to rebel by his nephew, and he also rebelled successfully, and put Emperor Jianwen down from the stage and sat on the dragon chair himself.
Zhu Zhanyuan was different from his grandfather Zhu Di, he had two chances to take the throne in his life and smashed him on the head, Zhu Zhanyuan refused, did not want. The cattle people only have a good place, Zhu Zhanyuan is so close to the throne, but he was respected by the emperor all his life and did not suffer any persecution, which was quite unusual in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zhanyuan was the fifth son and concubine of Emperor Akihito, and he was a brother in law and brother to the later Emperor Mingxuanzong Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanyuan and his elder brother Zhu Zhanji had a very good relationship, to what extent, Zhu Zhanji, as the crown prince supervising the state of Nanjing, the major affairs and small affairs in Beijing were all reported by his brother Zhu Zhanyuan to his brother Zhu Zhanji, and there is a saying in the minority history books that Zhu Zhanji, who was far away in Nanjing, was able to quickly learn the news of the death of Emperor MingrenZong Zhu Gaoji because Zhu Zhanyuan reported to Zhu Zhanji in a timely manner in the capital.
At this time, the city of Beijing was in turmoil, and two of Akihito's brothers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxu, were secretly active, especially Zhu Gaoxu, who had already thought that he had long been an emperor and had robbed him of the throne when his brother Akihito had already been emperor.
The situation is tense, what to do?
Zhang Shi once thought of establishing his other own son Zhu Zhanyuan as emperor, as long as the emperor is his own son, any son can be, more importantly, Zhu Zhanyuan's ability is also very strong, acting diligently and gentlely, and his government affairs ability has been greatly exercised.
Zhang Shi had this idea, but Zhu Zhanyuan explicitly refused, and the throne belonged to his brother Zhu Zhanji, who helped him take care of it at most.
Taking care of it, Empress Dowager Zhang ordered Zhu Zhanyuan to supervise the country and wait for the crown prince Zhu Zhanji to return to Beijing.
With Zhu Zhanyuan's supervision of the state, the Ming Dynasty gradually stabilized, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxuan's brothers were also unable to take advantage of it, and after more than ten days, Zhu Zhanji returned to Beijing and succeeded to the throne.
Zhu Zhanyuan perfectly maintained this power vacuum and smoothly handed over to his brother Zhu Zhanji. Emperor Xuanzong of Ming not only trusted his brother, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and at the beginning of his succession, Zhu Zhanji ordered Zhu Zhanji not to take the throne of Changsha and to assist the government in Beijing.
When Zhu Zhanji gradually took control of the situation, Zhu Zhanyuan retreated bravely, repeatedly went to Xuanzong and asked to return to the domain, although Zhu Zhanji did not give up, but the ancestral family law was there, and he could only let Zhu Zhanyuan return to changsha.
This was the first time that "Cow King" Zhu Zhanyuan had come into close contact with the dragon chair, and what he didn't expect was that there were two more times behind him.
Zhu Zhanji did not live long, he died in his thirties, he was only the emperor for ten years, when he died, the crown prince Zhu Qizhen was only 9 years old, this boy can recognize all the words is not bad, let alone be an emperor.
The empress dowager was of the Sun clan, but there was still an empress dowager on the head of the empress, that is, Zhu Zhanyuan's mother, Zhang Shi, and the empress dowager Zhang Shi was still alive.
The successor was only 9 years old, and although Zhu Zhanji left him the strongest cabinet of the "Three Yangs" before his death, they were outsiders after all, and they had to have their own family to escort them.
The empress dowager thought of her own son, Zhu Zhanyuan, the Prince of Xiang, and didn't her old son oversee the kingdom once? If he had experience, he would let him enter the Beijing prison again.
This matter was so fixed, the empress dowager Zhang Shi and the empress dowager Sun Shi both ordered Zhu Zhanyuan, the King of Xiang, to enter the capital, and Zhu Zhanyuan could only be obliged.
Zhu Zhanyuan, the King of Xiang, arrived in the capital and did a good job in supervising the state, but he did not work long before returning to Changsha, for the simple reason that Zhu Zhanyuan saw that the cabinet left by Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji for his son Zhu Qizhen was indeed very powerful, and several ministers in the cabinet were both capable and wise, and the country did not need him to be imprisoned.
As a result, Zhu Zhanyuan returned to the domain again, which was the second time in his life that he established a state and exercised the power of the emperor.
Zhu Zhanyuan thought that it was only three times, there was no third time, but he thought wrong again, and there was another time later.
This time, after the change of Tumu Fort, his nephew Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, actually dumped 500,000 troops to the north to beg for Wa La, and was wrapped in dumplings at Tumu Fort, 500,000 troops were gone, the heavy subjects of the DPRK died almost completely, and even Emperor Zhu Qizhen was captured.
The Ming Dynasty suddenly fell into the point where his life was hanging in the balance, the empress dowager Zhang Shi was dead, and it was the empress dowager Sun Shi who could have the prestige to speak, this Sun clan was not as good as the mother-in-law Zhang Clan in the end, and in the panic, it occurred to think that this situation had to be controlled by someone, and it must be the Zhu family, zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen, even if he was not a few years old.
Sun's first thought was zhu Zhanyuan, a young uncle who had overseen the country twice, and the emperor's uncle had strong ability, high prestige, and experience in supervising the country, or he would give up the throne to him, after all, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was very likely to die.
However, the most cattle emperor uncle of the Ming Dynasty did things that everyone could not imagine, smashing the throne on his head was hard to want, he enshrined the golden rune, put away the edict, and wrote to the empress dowager Sun Shi, saying that when he became emperor, he would hand it over to Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu, this nephew was good and could do it; the assistant minister let Yu Qian do it, the crisis in the capital could be solved, and Daming's social welfare could be guaranteed.
I have to say that the old prince Zhu Zhanyuan has a precise vision and great courage, so that he did not say anything about the throne, and also recommended the strongest "duo". Empress Dowager Sun obeyed Zhu Zhanyuan's advice, so she allowed Zhu Qiyu, the prince of Kun, to ascend the throne quickly to stabilize the overall situation, and promoted Yu Qian to organize the defense of Beijing.
With the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu and The First Loyal Servant of the Ming Dynasty Yu Qian, the Ming Dynasty could not die. Don't think that Zhu Zhanyuan's story is over, and the thing is still to come.
When Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne as emperor, he did a lot better than his brother Zhu Qizhen, but he did not have the mind of his uncle Zhu Zhanyuan. In fact, in the heart of Empress Dowager Sun and the emperor's uncle Zhu Zhanyuan, you Zhu Qiyu is a temporary worker, and you really take yourself as the emperor, although you have the merit of supporting the building and not falling, you do not have the status of an orthodox successor.
Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu did not see it this way, since the emperor became the emperor, then I was orthodox, and Grandpa's father Zhu Di was not orthodox, and he was not the same as the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu wanted the throne to be passed on forever in his descendants, so he twisted his brain and deposed the original crown prince, that is, Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen, and made his own son Zhu Jianji the crown prince.
This matter can be done, even the Xiang King Zhu Zhancheng who is far away in Changsha can't look at it, and write to Emperor Zhu Qiyu, this matter can't be done, besides, your brother Zhu Qizhen has returned, no one let you return the throne to your brother, but you can't directly break the orthodox inheritance of Zhu Qi Town.
This matter was quite chilling, especially in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, which paid attention to the orderly inheritance and orthodox sect, Zhu Qizhen, who was imprisoned in the Southern Palace, was not happy in his heart, Lao Tzu was not the emperor, who let himself be a prisoner, you deposed Lao Tzu's sons, is this not to move my position as an orthodox emperor.
However, not long after he ascended the throne again, Zhu Qizhen not only did not hate the emperor's uncle Zhu Zhanyuan, but also thanked him for his devotion, first of all, he found the song of Empress Dowager Shusun at that time, which explicitly rejected his edict to succeed to the throne as emperor, and secondly he also went to Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of Shujingtai, not to hastily depose the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, and finally Zhu Qizhen also learned from Empress Sun that Zhu Zhanzhen not only refused the throne, but also worked hard to keep the throne within his orthodoxy.
