When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants were still very demanding, in addition to the eldest son Zhu Biao as the heir to cultivate, other princes are also a pillar stone, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Yan can sit on one side, of course, according to the thinking of the ancients, good "saint sun can prosper for three generations", so after choosing a successor, the emperor will generally teach the saint sun himself, and then let the prince manage the country, sit in the rear by himself, on the one hand, exercise the prince, on the one hand, teach the grandson, Zhu Xiongying's early death makes Zhu Yuanzhang sad, but his twenty-six sons, Naturally, there are more grandchildren, among which Zhu Yunxiong likes to read the most (Zhu Xiongying's eldest son after his death), of course, there are also several people who have also entered Zhu Yuanzhang's sight, who is also full of economy, even said to be a political wizard, elegant and steady, orderly and able to do things well, the corresponding classification, and then reported, Zhu Yuanzhang was impressed by his talent, summoned him to the East Palace to accompany him, he is Zhu Gaozi, Zhu Di's eldest son.
Although zhu Yuanzhang was greatly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Gaoxu also tried his best to learn martial arts and was able to shoot arrows skillfully, but there was some gap compared with his younger brother Zhu Gaoxu, of course, Zhu Di still liked his eldest son in his heart, but many times he needed the brave Zhu Gaoxu more. Under zhu Yuanzhang's attention, Zhu Gaozi's talents were continuously exerted, and even recognized by many people, and some people in later generations said that Zhu Yuanzhang praised Zhu Gaozi as a wizard in ruling the world. After that, it was the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Gaozi and his two younger brothers luckily escaped from Nanjing back to Beiping, after the Outbreak of the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Gaozi guarded Beiping, together with Daoyan, it can be seen that Zhu Di valued Zhu Gaozi, and his chief military division was in Beiping. Zhu Gaozi became more and more proficient in the way of governing the country under the guidance of Dao Yan, and understood to be patient, just as the sage Yun "ruled a big country like cooking a small fresh", and at the same time led a lone army in Beiping to resist the attack of the imperial army, he could fully mobilize the manpower and material resources of Beiping, in fact, at this step, this Yan Wang Shizi was already well deserved, and although it was not as good as Zhu Gaoxu, it was not as good as Zhu Gaoxu. In the end, he successfully resisted Li Jinglong's army of 500,000, creating an opportunity for Zhu Di's first counteroffensive, which was also a strong stroke in Zhu Gaozi's military industry, and then Jianwen's clumsy counter-plan was easily cracked by Zhu Gaozi, and without reading the letter, it was directly handed over to Zhu Di, and then, Zhu Di's swinging division went south.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he always liked to let Zhu Gaozi stay in the rear, Zhu Di's suspicions were very heavy, and he would arrange for people to monitor Zhu Gaozi, but Zhu Gaozi was very patient and could do his job well, so Zhu Di's suspicions gradually disappeared, and Zhu Gaozi was able to have a good relationship with Yang Shiqi and other imperial court courtiers, which was equivalent to reconciliation with the literati, which was very important for Zhu Di, coupled with the influence of the concept of the eldest son, in fact, Zhu Gaozi's position as the crown prince was very stable, and then Zhu Di put Zhu Zhanji next to him to teach, which was already qualitative. It is ridiculous that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxuan could not see it, and they were complacent, thinking that they could raise troops with military power in their hands, and in the end, the five Northern Expeditions were actually Zhu Di paving the way for Zhu Gaozi, the Emperor Renzong successfully ascended the throne, and after suppressing the two younger brothers, he did not exterminate them, but promised the title of prince, which was a clever emperor's approach, like Zhu Yunxiu, he would only self-determine the world and the clan, as an emperor, he had to treat his brothers with his own strength. At the same time, this Emperor Renzong began to change some of Zhu Di's radical practices, pardoned Jianwen's old ministers, reconciled with the literati, and began to examine the people, all of which were implemented to promote a policy of tolerance to calm the people's hearts, not to say that they were contrary to the previous emperor, but could only say that the ancient emperor had a heavenly constitution, could not change the order at will, it was difficult to change after it had been characterized, and only the next emperor could change it, which was to maintain the majesty of the imperial power.
Subsequently, the Emperor Renzong spent ten months to lay a relatively good foundation for Daming, treating the two brothers Huairou as the mainstay, but quietly weakening their strength, so that they could not pull up a bunch of people as before to rebel, and at the same time eased the internal contradictions, completely eliminated the negative impact of Fang Xiaoru's case, an emperor who attached importance to the literati also let the scholars and doctors breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time reorganized the cabinet, and the titles of university scholar were given to the cabinet ministers, and they could directly participate in decision-making. This was a major increase in status, and the courtiers were proud to be in the cabinet. At the same time, the construction of laws was serious, the country was governed by law, and the examination system was changed to ensure that the northern scholars could have 40 percent of the shares, because the cultural center of gravity had shifted south, which was conducive to consolidating the hearts and minds of the people in the north. The north is more bitter and cold, more war-torn land, and proper care is also deserved. At the same time, tax reduction and restoration of people's livelihood are too short in power, and finally the emperor died in a hurry, which can only be said to be a lack of exercise, after all, Zhu Gaozi is too obese and lacks exercise, and a short life is taken for granted. Later, Ren Xuanzhizhi's successor was Zhu Zhanji, a young prince who had been pinned high hopes since childhood, known as the Holy Sun, who took over his father's throne. He stopped Zhu Gaozi's proposal to move the capital back to Nanjing, because he was worried about the war and border defense in the north, he continued to leave the capital in Beiping, and because of his father's efforts, in fact, Zhu Gaoxu was not worried, at the beginning of the rebellion, Zhu Zhanji took the imperial conquest, suppressed Zhu Gaoxu in momentum, and then attacked the city, captured his uncle, and released him back to the city of Beijing as a commoner, and at the same time implied that Zhu Gaoxuan released his military power, at this point, the disaster of the king of the clan that began in the early years of hongwu in the Ming Dynasty was quelled, and the imperial court took back the power of the king of the clan. Later kings only had taxes and no other rights, and even kings did not see kings. After that, Zhu Gaoxu rebelled again, which was actually a grasshopper after the autumn, but instead allowed Zhu Zhanji to smoothly identify his courtiers and control power. Zhu Gaoxu was pardoned again and again, but he was still arrogant and was finally executed.
In addition to quelling the rebellion of the king of the domain, Zhu Zhanji inspected the frontier, and he repeatedly reorganized his army, went north to the desert, appeased the Arutai department, strengthened border defense, and even continued to attack the Wallachian department in the northern desert to maintain the security of the frontier. Withdrawing troops from Annam to prevent the laborers from hurting their wealth, reusing Sanyang, and beginning to allow eunuchs to read in the palace and expand the rights of the inner court, all aspects show that Zhu Zhanji improved on the basis of inheriting his father. At the same time, the emperor was also closely related to Zheng He, so the last time he went to the West, Zheng He got what he wanted, died on the way, and from then on the sails were not allowed to enter the sea. This emperor also liked to fight with cockroaches, of course, not to the point of influencing the government, there were three Yang in the dynasty, natural and stable, hanging clothes and handing over, but so.
Unfortunately, he can grasp it, his son can't grasp it, eunuchs can control the government after reading, Wang Zhen is a good example, so it has created the decline of Daming, and the rule of Ren xuan, because of this, can only say, the world is impermanent.
