As the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di's life can be described as a great achievement, enough to be called a Ming Jun, although this emperor was taken from his own nephew, but he was a good emperor, people may have some understanding of his life deeds, but many people will have such a question, that is, how did Zhu Di treat Zhu Biao's wife and daughter?
What we know is that Zhu Di entered the city of Nanjing in 1402, and his most taboo thing is that the world said that his origin was not correct, so after Zhu Biao's death, the first thing Zhu Di did was to change his nickname, and Zhu Yunjiao posthumously honored Zhu Biao as "Emperor Xiaokang" after succeeding to the throne, but Zhu Di changed his title to "Prince Yiwen" after he ascended the throne.
So what are we most concerned about, and how does Zhu Di treat Zhu Biao's wife and daughter?
Let's start with Zhu Biao's daughter. In that era, there was still a popular saying that it was not good for his family, which can be seen from past deeds, during the Tang Dynasty, although Li Shimin killed his eldest brother and second brother, he did not treat their daughters, after all, this is also his niece, let's talk about Zhu Biao's wife and son.
Zhu Biao's eldest wife is called Chang Meirong. Zhu Biao had two concubines in his lifetime. His wife, Zhang Meirong, is the eldest daughter of Chang Yuchun. In the fourth year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu was made a crown princess. She gave birth to Zhu Xiongying, the first child with Zhu Biao, and a third son, Zhu Yunxi. But it is also unfortunate that when she gave birth to her third son, due to various reasons, she unfortunately left Zhu Biao forever in childbirth.
Zhu Biao's side chamber Lü clan, as well as his fifth son Zhu Yunxi, this Lü clan is not simple, gave birth to three sons, of which Zhu Yunjiao later successfully ascended the throne, she was also honored as the empress. What can be counted is the fullness of life.
When Zhu Di launched the Jing Dynasty and fought until he reached the city of Nanjing, Lü Shi was specially invited by him, as Lü Shi naturally did not want his son to fall into the sword, and finally died, so he reluctantly agreed to Zhu Di, but according to historical records, Lü Hou had not yet seen his son, and the palace where Zhu Yunjiao was located was on fire, and since then, Zhu Yunjiao's traces have become a mystery, and no one has ever seen it again.
And shortly after Zhu Di attacked and ascended the throne, the mansion where Lü's mother and son lived also burst into flames, and then the mother and daughter also died, and it had to be said that the emperor's heart was very human.
How exactly did the house catch fire? No one knows why he was burned to death, perhaps Because Zhu Di did not want the world to remember his usurpation of the throne.
As a newly ascended emperor, Zhu Di at first slowly shunted the relatives and confidants of the previous emperor, and then slowly dealt with them
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's eleventh son Zhu Chun fell out with his son, his son ran to Changsha and defected to his uncle, his uncle Zhu Xuan was also a talent, when Zhu Di went to Nanjing to rebel in the name of King Qin, when he saw that Zhu Yunxiu was not good, he let Zhu Di pass, and then Zhu Di became king, and he immediately became favored, of course, he could not avoid a series of operations of pampering and arrogance.
His nephew Zhu Yuexi went to defect to him, perhaps it was to stimulate Zhu Xi's last ambition, fighting his usual nonsense without any restraint, he actually remembered the rebellion, disguised his nephew, pretended to be the emperor who disappeared before, this time Zhu Chun was frightened, and immediately ran to Zhu Di to show his loyalty, he made Zhu Di immediately vigilant, it turned out that there were still people who wanted to learn to rebel themselves!
How did this come about, just as Zhao Kuangyin had been worried about his subordinates imitating him after the mutiny, so the Song Dynasty military generals were generally not reused, Zhu Di also began to worry, especially zhu Chun's father and son, who had a previous crime, and then casually found a reason to execute all of them, of course, the history books will still write that these people are inexplicably violent, but how can this argument stand?
All in all, after Zhu Di became emperor, after slowly grasping the power of the imperial palace, he began to execute the previous people, which may be Zhu Di's biggest black spot.
