Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor who killed decisively, tenaciously and resolutely, and was deeply suspicious, could not have imagined that he was a defense against the ministers of the DPRK and did not hesitate to kill the heroes, just to leave a peaceful and stable Ming Dynasty for his grandson Zhu Yunjiao, but he did not prevent his son "Zhu Di"

A big lie, Zhu Di said that his mother was Empress Ma, what is the truth?

Zhu Di

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he believed that the fundamental reason for the decline and demise of the Yuan Dynasty was that the lord was weak and the subjects were strong, and the subjects were mainly anti-guest, so he set up the king of the domain and let them support the army to defend the emperor, but he did not expect to let his son Zhu Di exploit the loophole. Zhu Di was given the title of King of Yan and his fief was in present-day Beijing.

In the process of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Dixiao was brave and good at war, and his military achievements were numerous, Hongwu thirty-one years later, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness, and after zhu Yunjiao, who was mild-natured, succeeded to the throne, he was worried not about the traitors in the court, who could not sleep at night, but his uncles, led by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was powerful and brave and good at war, and his ambitions for the throne were well known.

Zhu Yunjiao

So Emperor Jianwen began to discuss with his teachers Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai to cut the domain, but unfortunately, at this time, Emperor Jianwen had just succeeded to the throne, the foundation was unstable, and the means were inferior, and Zhu Diming, the king of Yan, dressed as crazy and stupid, secretly recruited troops and horses, and built a large number of weapons, intending to rebel. When everything was ready, Zhu Di immediately launched the "Battle of Jingnan" and attacked Nanjing all the way south, and Emperor Jianwen's road was unknown.

The Battle of Jing

Zhu Di, who successfully rebelled, succeeded in becoming emperor, but his ascension to the throne was "unjust in name, not smooth in speech" In order to make his regime legitimate, he refused to recognize the regime of his nephew Zhu Yunjiao, but claimed that he had inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's throne, but such a reason required various factors to cooperate with him, he claimed that his birth mother was "Empress Xiaoci Gao Ma", that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's original wife, Empress Bigfoot, so that he could become a righteous concubine of the Middle Palace, and his succession would become legal and reasonable. This is recorded in the canonical history.

Li Qing

But what Lao Lin wants to tell you today is that the History of Ming was written by Zhu Di at the behest of Zhu Di, and the real fact may not be so, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, When Li Qing, an official of Dali Temple, read the official archive "Chronicle of Nanjing Taichang Temple", he found that "Crown Prince Yiwen and the two kings of Qin and Jin were all born of Li Shi, and Ming Chengzu was born of Concubine Qi." This discovery is related to the orthodoxy of the royal family, Li Qing did not dare to be sloppy, and found Qian Qianyi, who was a university inquirer at the time, and as a result, Qian Qianyi could not explain.

Money is humble

At this time, Li Qing remembered, according to the archives, "There are more than twenty concubines on the east side, and there are more than twenty concubines on the west side, so why not open the sleeping hall to test them?" So Qian Qianyi and Li Qing took advantage of the opportunity of the New Year's Day sacrifice to ming xiaoling to open the palace of ming xiaoling, and the layout inside was exactly the same as the record in the "Nantaichang Temple Chronicle". However, in the official records of the Ming Dynasty, there is no record of this concubine at all. This makes us feel strange, if this is true, then Zhu Di has Goryeo blood, and the history of this concubine has been deliberately concealed and tampered with, and besides Zhu Di, who else can erase the existence of this concubine? Therefore, these indications show that Zhu Di deleted the historical data of his birth mother in order to make his succession legitimate and reasonable. This also leaves us with mysteries for future generations.
