Zhu Yuanzhang called Hanako to become emperor, so he cherished Jiangshan very much.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not reform the old succession system in the past, not on the basis of merit, but on the basis of "seed". His eldest son, Zhu Biao, was the number one seeded player, but this Zhu Biao died prematurely before he reached the standard.
The eldest son was gone, and the most powerful were his sons, but Zhu Yuanzhang made a big mistake and passed on the Jiangshan to his grandson. It doesn't matter if it is passed on to his grandson, the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang should have 'castrated' all his sons, because the sons would threaten his grandson's regime. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not do this, so he laid the root of turmoil. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his grandson Emperor Jianwen took over, and he found that his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang had dug a pit for himself and had not deprived his uncles of their power. So those ministers gave advice to Emperor Jianwen and quickly put your uncles' affairs to rest, and not let them endanger your country.
After all, Sun Tzu is a grandson, engaged in politics is a little tender, although it is imperative to cut the domain, but it is better to wait until he sits on the throne and then say, before he has laid a foundation, he will shoot, is not looking for death?
At the same time that Emperor Jianwen issued the order to cut the domain, the fourth prince Zhu Di's determination to rebel was also determined.
So what were Zhu Di's brothers and Zhu Yuanzhang's other sons doing when they rebelled?
The emperors were very capable, and Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception even though he was called Hanako. Zhu Yuanzhang's women were left with twenty-six sons for him. When Zhu Di rebelled, the eight had already taken a step ahead.
The eight princes were: Zhu Biao, the eldest prince, Zhu Zhu, the second prince of Qin, Zhu Zhuo, the old third Jin king, Zhu Zi, the old badan, Zhu Qi, the old Ninth Zhao, Zhu Tan, the old Shilu, and Zhu Bai, the xiang king, and Zhu Nan, the prince. Therefore, in addition to Zhu Di, there are 17 living princes.
The 17 princes also have different positions because their experiences are different.
1. Zhu Di's party.
Such people are all victims of the Jianwen Emperor's power struggle, and the Jianwen Emperor has cut them open, can they not hate their nephews? They were sick with Zhu Di, so they were comrades in the same trench.
These princes were Zhu Yu , the old King of the Fifth Zhou Dynasty , Zhu Rong , the king of the Seventh Qi , Zhu Gui , the king of the 13th dynasty , and Zhu Yu , the king of the 18th Dynasty.
After Emperor Jianwen came to power, he took the initiative to cut the domain, and he followed the advice of the think tank Qi Tai to open a knife to Zhu Di, the old Fourth Yan king, because the gun shot the head bird, and Zhu Di was the boss of the clan king. However, Qi Tai's suggestion was rejected by the other two think tanks, on the grounds that it was easy first and then difficult, and the soft persimmon was picked up first. Emperor Jianwen listened to the advice of the latter two wise men and attacked Zhu Xu, the king of the old Five Zhou Dynasty.
The second group of victims were Zhu Yu the King of Qi, Zhu Bai the King of Xiang, Zhu Gui the Dai Wang, and Zhu Yu the Prince of Min. Among them, Zhu Bai, the King of Xiang, was a careful eye, and when he saw that he was deposed, he found the short-sightedness, and the remaining four were exiled by emperor Jianwen's army.
After Zhu Di raised an army, Emperor Jianwen came up with another bad idea, took the deposed uncles back as hostages, and imprisoned them in Nanjing. It was not until Zhu Di succeeded that the brothers regained their freedom. Therefore, the four brothers were in the same boat as Zhu Di. However, at that time, they lost their personal freedom, and they could not do anything, and they could only cheer for Zhu Di in their hearts.
Second, watch the fire from the other side to force Liangshan.
When Zhu Di attacked, King Gu and King Liao chose to side with Zhu Yunjiao's central government. And King Ning chose to watch the fire from the other side, he wanted to see the trend, watch the wind direction and then make a choice. In the end, they killed both sides, exhausted, and then fished out and enjoyed their success. Therefore, no matter how much his nephew Emperor Jianwen urged him, King Ning pretended to be deaf and dumb. Anyway, the Emperor of Heaven was far away, and the Emperor couldn't do anything with him.
However, Zhu Di did not give this younger brother the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Zhu Di was bent on expanding the team and asked King Ning to join, otherwise he would be good-looking.
King Ning offended his nephew and had no way out, and was forced to stand with Zhu Di.
Iii. Royalists.
There were two princes who issued statements of obedience to Emperor Jianwen's central government: Zhu Zhi the Prince of Liao and Zhu Xuan the Prince of Gu.
After zhu di, the king of Yan, rebelled, because the liao king's fief was too close to Zhu Di, Emperor Jianwen was afraid that they would join forces and ordered Zhu Zhi to go south. Zhu Zhi reluctantly came to Nanjing by sea and was sealed in Jingzhou, Hubei Province. After Zhu Di seized the throne, he did not embarrass him, did not kill him and did not have anything to do with him, and also gave him three hundred military school cooks for him to send, the incense was continued, and the title was inherited, which was also considered lucky.
Gu Wang Zhu Ishi is an opportunist, a veteran of seeing the wind and making rudders. His fiefdom was in present-day Hebei, and it was also very close to Zhu Di. After Zhu Di raised an army, Zhu Xi initially firmly supported Emperor Jianwen and went to Nanjing to serve the king. When the nephew's defeat was decided, Zhu Xi ate inside and outside, defected to the enemy and did Zhu Di's internal response, opening the city gate and surrendering.
Fourth, the Proms.
In this dog-bite-dog nest fight, the 10 princes strictly guarded neutrality, not left or right, not black and white. They were Zhu Zhen the Prince of Chu, Zhu Chun the Prince of Shu, Zhu Chun the Prince of Shu, Zhu Li the Prince of Su, Prince Su of the Fourteenth, Zhu Li the Prince of Qing, Zhu Song the Prince of Han, Zhu Mo the Prince of Shen, Zhu Mo the Prince of An, Zhu Yue, the Twenty-third Prince of Tang, Zhu Dong, the Twenty-fourth Prince, and Zhu Dong, the Twenty-fifth Prince.
The latter of them were all twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers at the time of the Battle of Jingnan, and to be honest, they had neither the idea nor the courage to jump out and take sides, and they could only be counted as ignorant factions or idle factions.
All in all, Zhu Yuanzhang's princes basically adopted neutrality in this fratricidal struggle, did not participate in the bloody war between the two sides, and to a certain extent spared the common people of their fiefdoms from the pain of war, which is worth affirming.
