We all know that in the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and it was said that the chaotic world produced the tyrant, and the time was chaotic, which was the era of the tyrant. Chen Youyu and Zhu Yuanzhang were the leaders of these rebel armies, and it was not an exaggeration to be called tyrants. We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang, who later founded the Ming Dynasty, really experienced a lot from a no-name pawn to the later founding emperor. As his biggest enemy, Chen Youyu is naturally not ordinary.
When Chen Youyu was a child, a fortune teller gave him a trigram, and at that time, the gua elephant showed that this person would be very unusual in the future. In his early years, he joined the Red Turban Army, fought bravely, and soon emerged from it. Slowly developed, began to establish himself as the king, the army he led, quite swept, but helplessly in the end personally led 600,000 troops and Zhu Yuanzhang decisive battle, unfortunately lost to Zhu Yuanzhang. Let us also have a kind of exclamation of zhu he sheng chen.
Chen Youyu was killed by a random arrow in the great battle, and his soldiers and gold and silver treasures were also owned by Zhu Yuanzhang. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also found a beautiful-looking person in Chen Youyu's concubines, and also said: "I was very angry about Chen Youyu's repeated acts of offending me, so I took his concubine." Of course, this is just a kind of rhetoric, what is the reason, I believe everyone has been tacitly informed.
If it is just to retaliate against Chen Youyu, Zhu Yuanzhang can deal with his concubines in an insulting way, Zhu Yuanzhang is actually most likely because he has a crush on beauty. This concubine of Chen Youyu was Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine, and this concubine also gave birth to a son for Zhu Yuanzhang. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's eighth son, Zhu Zi, who was crowned king of Tan. Regarding this son of Zhu Yuanzhang, there are many historical materials that are inconsistent, and there are many controversies about his origin, and even some people think that this Zhu Zi is Chen Youyi's widow. It is really terrible to say, Zhu Yuanzhang has raised other people's sons for so many years, and the title of "receiver" is none other than him.
The author consulted Zha Jizuo's "Record of Crimes" and He Qiaoyuan's "Famous Mountains and Treasures", and both recorded this incident in detail. Chen Youyu's concubine, The Jian Clan, naturally entered the palace after being captured by Zhu Yuanzhang. Soon after entering the palace, he gave birth to a son Zhu Zi. Zhu Yuanzhang later made this son the King of Tan, and before going to the fiefdom, Zhu Zi went to say goodbye to his mother, and a sentence between the banquets surprised Zhu Zi. The Jin clan said: Your biological father is actually Chen Youyu, the king of Han, and in order to raise you, I have secretly given birth for nearly twenty years, and you must remember to avenge your father in the future.
After zhu zi heard his mother's words, he arrived at the fiefdom and began to prepare for the rebellion. He wrote on the bronze plaque in the chamber of secrets the words "Rather see the King of Yan than the King of Thieves", but later he was discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang and ended up setting himself on fire. This matter has always been remembered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is considered to be the first great shame in life, and regret is lifelong.
Although it is recorded in history, some experts believe that if you look at the time of Zhu Zi's birth, he was born in 1369, but Chen Youyu was already killed by a random arrow in the great battle with Zhu Yuanzhang in 1363. Zhu Zi existed in her mother's belly for six years? This is clearly unrealistic. However, after that, some experts refuted it, after all, history is written by the victors, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, naturally pays attention to the influence of future generations, and it is also possible to strictly order historians to tamper with history.
However, this is also the speculation of future generations, and we have no way to verify what the truth is.
