Interesting answer: Zhu Di did not need to arrange for the succession before he died, in fact, Zhu Di absolutely did not dare to pass the throne casually, and could only pass it on to his eldest son Zhu Gaozi.
All the apprehensions of Zhu Di's succession
This problem seems simple, but it is actually very complicated, and the complexity lies in Zhu Di's identity.
Next, we need to talk about most of the concerns that Zhu Di had when he passed the throne, and these concerns were transmitted sequentially in the form of numbers.
1. Zhu Di's upper position is not correct.
Everyone knows how Zhu Di became emperor, and in those four years of the Battle of Jing, Zhu Di used up his tongue, just to convey a message, he did not want to be emperor, but forced to become emperor.
But none of these mattered, the most important thing is that after Zhu Di became emperor, the order of succession to the throne has been disrupted, and it is no longer the system of primogeniture. For a country, once the order of succession to the throne is disrupted, it will be a great crisis.
At this time, Zhu Di could only restore the order of the throne through many means and only through many skills. Just bring your eldest son, Zhu Gaozi, with you.
2. Zhu Gaoxu wants to be Li Shimin.
In the relevant historical documents, Zhu Gaoxu's image is very brilliant and shining, and Zhu Di is very satisfied with his son.
But satisfied to satisfied, Zhu Di was not stupid enough to want to feed such a wolf ambition, and one day Zhu Gaoxu inadvertently said a sentence that completely angered Zhu Di. Zhu Gaoxu looked in the mirror and said in a circle: You see my current image, like the original Li Shimin.
When Zhu Gaoxu finished saying this, it meant that Zhu Gaoxu had no connection with the emperor, because Zhu Gaoxu wanted to be Li Shimin, then Zhu Di must be Li Yuan.
The friends who are familiar with the Sui and Tang Dynasties know what the fate of Li Yuan will be in the end, Li Yuan was forced to become the emperor by his unfortunate son Li Shimin.
Judging from Zhu Di's state at that time, he was certainly not willing to give up the throne to his indisputable son.
3. The Civilian-Chan Contest will be even more terrifying.
Zhu Di compiled and revised the Yongle Canon and invested a large number of wenchen for only one purpose, that is, to eliminate the forces that slandered wenchen.
Many people may think that during the reign of any empire, the most influential must be the military general, not the civilian subject, which is a big mistake.
Because as long as any empire develops, it will inevitably edit history books, and in the history books, Chinese ministers can move a little pen and can scold you in a corner, and you don't know it.
If Zhu Di wants to live for hundreds of years, if Zhu Di wants to have his own glorious image, he will inevitably need to curry favor with Wen Chen, and he needs to flatter Wen Chen.
Judging from the state at that time, the vast majority of the courtiers supported Zhu Gaoxu, not Zhu Gaoxu.
