Introduction: This is probably very difficult, because the "Imperial Ming Ancestral Training" clearly records that there are sons to inherit under the premise of the inheritance of the eldest son; no children are brothers and brothers. Moreover, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne out of a very special circumstance, and Empress Sun's support for Zhu Qiyu's ascension to power was premised on the premise that Emperor Mingying's eldest son Zhu Jianshen became crown prince. However, Zhu Qiyu abolished Zhu Jianshen and made his son Zhu Jianji crown prince. Unfortunately, Zhu Jianji died prematurely, and Zhu Jianshen, as the eldest son of Emperor Yingzong, should have succeeded to the throne.
The historical background of the succession of Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty
Emperor Mingying's zhu qizhen, as the eldest son of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, was Genhong Miaozheng, so his succession to the throne belonged to Mingzheng. Therefore, at this time, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu had a good relationship with each other, and they almost wore a pair of pants, so even if Zhu Qiyu became an adult, he did not go out of Beijing to get out of the domain. This situation continued until Emperor Yingzong was captured during the Tumu Fort Rebellion, and In order to resist The Blackmail of Zhu Qiyu, who used the captured Yingzong as a hostage, zhu Qiyu ushered in the opportunity to break the Ming Emperor's Ancestral Precepts. Since Emperor Ming's crown prince Zhu Jianshen was too young to take on the heavy responsibility of leading his subjects to resist the siege of Wallachia, Zhu Qiyu, who had been created by Empress Sun and a clique of civilian officials led by Yu Qian, had the opportunity to become emperor.
One of the situations to be explained here is that Zhu Qiyu's throne and the crown princeship of Emperor Yingzong's son Zhu Jianshen were promulgated at the same time. It is obvious that the legitimacy of the imperial throne stipulated by Emperor Ming's ancestors still has great inertia, and Zhu Qiyu's succession to the throne is to occupy the throne for the Yingzong lineage. Once Emperor Zhu Qiyu died, the throne would inevitably be inherited by Zhu Jianshen of the concubine lineage. Because Emperor Yingzong originally had the eldest son Zhu Jianshen, the throne could not be implemented as a brother and a brother. It was only because Zhu Jianshen was too young that he let Zhu Qiyu inherit the throne under the special circumstances of the siege of Walla. Therefore, this situation itself is abnormal, and the situation of Zhu Qiyu's temporary occupation is very obvious.
The act of replacing the crown prince by Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty was already doomed to the tragedy of future changes
After repelling the Wallachians, the Ming Dynasty stabilized. Emperor Zhu Qiyu had a selfish idea of letting the throne pass on in his own lineage. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu abolished the crown princeship of His nephew Zhu Jianshen and made his own son Zhu Jianji crown prince. This obviously touched the sensitive nerves of Empress Sun, because Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was his own son and Zhu Qiyu was not. If Zhu Jianshen's crown princeship is abolished, the throne will be changed against hereditary succession as it did decades ago. Zhu Di's troops completed the transfer of the throne from Zhu Biao's first line to Zhu Di's first line through the Battle of Jingnan.
At this time, the civilian official system headed by Yu Qian needed the stability of the imperial court, and there was not much opinion on the conversion of the crown prince. However, it was very unfortunate that the new crown prince Zhu Jianji unfortunately died, which involved the stability of the Ming Dynasty, which caused a competition for the throne.
Could Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty consolidate the throne through succession?
We still have that sentence, this is probably very difficult. Although Zhu Jianshen was only five or six years old at the time, he was abolished within a year, what is the rule of abolishing it? On the other hand, Zhu Jianshen's status as the eldest son of the concubine is precious. Moreover, his own father was still alive, and although he was placed under house arrest by Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu, he was still a concubine after all. Such a big thing must pass through Empress Sun, who would have been angry long ago if she agreed.
If it were not for Zhu Jianshen, let's look at those princes in Zhu Qizhen's lineage who could be inherited: Zhu Jianshu the Prince of Dezhuang, Zhu Jianshu the Prince of Xiuhuai, and Zhu Jianze, the King of Chongjian. But even if the concubines in the concubine line passed on to Zhu Qiyu, it didn't mean anything. Moreover, this has never occurred within the royal family from the succession to the concubine. Besides, can the succession of the prince consolidate the throne? Emperor Mingyingzong of the other family lineage is still alive, so it is not the turn of Emperor Zhu Qiyu to talk about the inheritance of the throne here.
If we refer to the example of Zhu Houxi, the Jiajing Emperor, we will understand that even after the succession to the throne, people still respect their father Zhu Youqi as the emperor. It even triggered a three-and-a-half-year-long dispute over the great ceremonial discussion, and finally posthumously honored his biological father as Emperor Xingxian and then crowned as Emperor Xian, and his birth mother as Empress Xingguo. Even Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's tablet was almost invited out of the Taimiao Temple, so if Zhu Qiyu succeeded Zhu Qizhen as the heir, there would definitely be no good results.

brief summary:
In summary, Zhu Qiyu is the standard imperial replacement. No matter what arrangements he made, as long as the concubines did not continue to take the throne, they would eventually return to the concubines. Even if there is no change in the door, even if Zhu Mishen is passed on, it will not affect the historical fact that the throne will be passed on in the concubine line.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
