Introduction: The Ming Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China, ruled by the Han Chinese, established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Logically, the position of the successor of the dynasty, which is the throne of the crown prince, is generally the first to stand on the throne. So why was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty zhu Di, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang? In addition to the early death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunjiao wantonly slashed the domain. There was another person who provided great help when Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingnan to seize the throne, he was Yao Guangxiao, the ming dynasty master, and he was also known as a demon monk.
Yao Guangxiao was born into a wealthier family, and his father was also a well-known doctor. Therefore, Yao Guangxiao has been highly expected by his family since he was a child, but compared to his parents' expectations of learning to be rich and five cars, Yao Guangxiao wants to become a respected person. Once, when Yao Guangxiao went out, he saw a monk walking on the road in the distance, and the surrounding people bowed to him, which deeply stimulated Yao Guangxiao. He understood from this moment that it seemed easier to become a respected person than to be an official, and to be a high monk. In this way, Yao Guangxiao shaved his head and became a monk, but after escaping into the Buddhist Gate, Yao Guangxiao found that he was just a small Shami, and it would take decades to become a high-ranking monk, which obviously did not meet Yao Guangxiao's pursuit. So he left Buddhism and joined the Taoists, and was well taught by the Taoist Yao Guangxiao, who was knowledgeable in the past and the present, and had also made achievements in people's hearts and strategies, but at this time Yao Guangxiao was already a middle-aged man.
Yao Guangxiao watched his age grow older day by day, but he still didn't do anything, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious. Until one day, Zhu Di gathered a large number of monks to come to the Yan King's Mansion, and Yao Guangxiao knew that his opportunity had come, so he said a word to Zhu Di, which made Zhu Di stunned and made him admire the monk. Yao Guangxiao said, "Poor Dao can be said to be a gift from King Yan." Zhu Di asked, "What gift?" Yao Guangxiao said that he wanted to give Zhu Di a white hat, why would Zhu Di be shocked? Because Wang and Huangzi were almost a white hat, Yao Guangxiao knew that everyone had the heart to become an emperor, not to mention an ambitious person like Zhu Di.
Yao Guangxiao became Zhu Di's protégé as he wished, but at first Zhu Di's rebellious mind was not strong, so he did not reuse Yao Guangxiao. Later, as Emperor Jianwen slashed the clan too fiercely and killed several other clan kings, Zhu Di felt frightened and began to consult Yao Guangxiao. So Yao Guangxiao began to advise Zhu Di's rebellion plan, first helping Zhu Di build an arsenal, which was underground in the chicken and duck pen, relying on the noisy cries of chickens and ducks to cover up the sound of weapon building. Later, he stayed in Nanjing to help The Prince of Yan, later Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaozi, fend off hundreds of thousands of troops sent by Emperor Jianwen to attack, buying Zhu Di precious time. It can be said that if Yao Guangxiao had not been behind the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di's hope of ascending the throne as emperor would have been reduced by at least half, and perhaps there would have been no later Ming Chengzu.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne and became emperor, Yao Guangxiao was made a young master of the crown prince, at this time Zhu Di had completed his goal, but he still had great respect for Yao Guangxiao and tried to take care of Yao Guangxiao in some small daily matters. Since ancient times, but few of the famous courtiers who have achieved great merit can die well, why is it that Yao Guangxiao was regarded as a confidant by Zhu Di after he lost his role? This has to say that Yao Guangxiao's cleverness. The emperor was afraid of the famous and meritorious lords, mainly because he was worried that he would think of taking his own place, but Yao Guangxiao's performance was desireless and undesirable, not only did not accept Zhu Di's reward, but also did not care about the gold and silver jewelry and beautiful women given by Zhu Di. The money zhu di gave him was all taken by him to do good deeds, such a person without ambition, and he made great contributions to himself, Zhu Di could not move Yao Guangxiao no matter what, otherwise he would be criticized by others, and his throne would be difficult to sit firmly.
Yao Guangxiao was called a demon monk because he stood in the position of a Buddhist monk and lashed out at Confucianism. This practice caused the Ming Dynasty scholars to rise up and attack, to know that Confucianism continued for thousands of years, the students who were in the examination for meritorious names, as well as the dignitaries and dignitaries who were named in the golden list, which did not grow up under the education of Confucianism, Yao Guangxiao's remarks directly offended the entire Ming Dynasty people with heads and faces, so that when he went home to visit his relatives, his sister did not dare to see him.
Conclusion: Throughout Yao Guangxiao's life, not to mention his criticism of Confucianism. In terms of how to behave and deal with things, he is definitely a rare person in all the dynasties and dynasties, and he can be a famous general who can die well. Knowing the Imperial Heart Technique at the same time, he was also able to retreat in a rapids, which was destined for him to achieve something.
