Zhu Yuanzhang had a total of twenty-six sons, all of whom were crowned princes except for the eldest son Zhu Biao and the last son who died prematurely, each with its own fiefdom, guarding one side of the town, and defending the Daming Mountains like the stars holding the moon.
Among them, Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, was named the King of Ning, the fief was Daning, he was ranked among the kings of Sai, and he himself was also a general with wisdom and courage, known in history as "The King of Yan was good at war, the King of Ning was good at plotting", and his military strength also greatly exceeded that of several brothers, "with eighty thousand armor, six thousand leather vehicles", plus the Duoyan Three Guards cavalry, which can be said to be the strongest king of the northern region.
Although Zhu Quan was trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he himself was outstanding, he was one of Zhu Yuanzhang's most unfortunate sons, the first half of his life was deceived by the fourth brother, the second half of his life talent could not be exerted, has been suppressed, only Mingzhe to protect the grandson can survive, his descendants have always been monitored and guarded by the emperor, but the descendants of King Ning do not know how to pruded various incidents, giving the emperor various excuses to suppress, and finally the two sides finally tore their faces, and the soldiers saw each other. However, the Ning Wang Yimai, who had no strength, was eventually defeated at the hands of the descendants of the fourth brother, and the descendants were basically wiped out in a net, and they were left in a white expanse that was really clean.
In the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunjiao, who succeeded his grandfather to the throne, began his ambitious business of cutting the domain, and five uncles were dealt with successively, followed by Zhu Di, the fourth oldest king of Yan.
Zhu Quan's fiefdom was close to Beiping, and the army was very strong, and after Zhu Di rebelled, Zhu Yunjiao was very afraid that the seventeenth uncle would join forces with the fourth uncle, so he ordered Zhu Quan to go to Nanjing.
Zhu Quan himself was very angry at Zhu Yunjiao's persecution of his brother, but he did not have the heart to rebel, he only wanted to keep his throne as King Ning, so he did not want to get involved in the great war between the fourth brother and his nephew, and even wanted to watch the fourth brother defeat the nephew, so he rejected the nephew. However, he did not expect that not only his nephew was worried about him, but also the fourth brother of Beiping, mainly because of his soldiers and horses.
Zhu Di, the King of Yan, was only a clan king, only an isolated city in Beiping, and he could not defeat Zhu Yunjiao, who was sitting in the world, no matter what, so he had to expand his strength, but he did not have so much strength, so he thought of the soldiers and horses of the seventeenth brother.
Of course, zhu quan did not give, robbed and beat people, so Zhu Di used a conspiracy trick, he lied that he had defeated zhu quan, hoping that Zhu Quan would intercede with his nephew, and then took advantage of Zhu Quan's lack of defense to take the command of his soldiers and horses step by step, and then captured Zhu Quan.
Zhu Quan was furious at the fourth brother's despicable treatment of himself, and in order to appease him, Zhu Di gave him a blank check for the world, Zhu Quan had no way, he was already the commander of the light pole, and his life was pinched in the hands of others, and he had no way, so he could only get on the fourth brother's "thief ship" and go with him to Jingnan.
After four years of war, Zhu Di successfully seized the throne, Zhu Quan naturally knew that it was impossible to divide the world, so he hoped that the fourth brother Kai'en would change the title of Suzhou, Zhu Di did not agree, and did not agree to go to Hangzhou, and finally Zhu Di sent him to Nanchang, which was unknown at that time.
Zhu Quan arrived in Nanchang, did not have the habit of living, and immediately ushered in the court investigators, it turned out that someone reported him cursing the emperor, naturally there was no evidence, but Zhu Quan was still reprimanded. Not only Zhu Di, as long as Zhu Quan lived, the subsequent emperors all paid attention to him and regarded him as the number one enemy. Zhu Gaozi ruthlessly refused his request to change his fiefdom, Zhu Zhanji hated him for talking too much, forcing him to constantly write letters to apologize, and finally he understood that he could only live with a low profile, so he could only completely and completely hope for cultivation and cultivation and cultural research, so that he could die peacefully in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy.
What Zhu Quan did not expect was that he was so low-key, that is, he hoped that his own line could live in peace, but his descendants did not appreciate the kindness of their ancestors, and these descendants of him flew one by one, and eventually made Ning Fan constantly suffer blows and was eventually abolished. After Zhu Quan's death, his eldest son had already died, so the eldest grandson Zhu Dianpei inherited the throne of King Ning, Zhu Di Zhu Quan died, but their feud never ended, the emperor never missed any opportunity to suppress King Ning, and King Ning, including their various counties, was almost punished by the emperor.
The first outbreak was the discord between Zhu Dianpi, the King of Ning, and his younger brother King Yiyang, who was dissatisfied with Zhu Dianpei's succession to the throne and framed Zhu Dianpei for plotting rebellion, implicating six or seven hundred people, and finally ending it. After that, the second half of the two people's lives were completely changed, and Zhu Dianpei was finally caught by Cui Gong because of his disagreement with Cui Gong, the envoy of Nanchang Province, and was finally punished by Cui Gong, who investigated and punished many illegal acts, and finally was punished by deprivation of guards.
Zhu Dianpei's ending was quite good, and Zhu Dianyu, the king of Yiyang, was even more unlucky, because he offended the Jinyi Wei commander Luo Gao was framed for adultery with his mother, and was executed in The Third Year of Tianshun.
Subsequently, it broke out that Zhu Quan's second son, Zhu Panxuan, the king of Linchuan, reported to each other about the struggle for the throne, and finally the father and son were deposed as shuren in the fifth year of Tianshun, and the prince was canceled.
Soon after, zhu Dianpei's younger brother Zhu Dianpei's grandson and brother Zhu Diantuo, the prince of Shicheng, were severely punished and deposed as shuren in the twelfth year of Hongzhi for violating the law.
In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, King Zhongling was also deposed as a shuren for committing crimes.
This blow made Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, dissatisfied with his identity, he thought that this was deliberate by the emperor, and did not think at all that it was the reason for his people's constant trouble, the emperor only stared at them Ning Wang's family, and if he was a little wrong, he would be punished, so he had a rebellious thought in his heart, and he wanted revenge. Therefore, he constantly recruited talents through various means in Nanchang and secretly expanded his strength to prepare for rebellion.
In the fourteenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Chenhao officially rebelled in Nanchang. However, this was not the time when Zhu Dijing was in difficulty, although Zhu Chenhao had been preparing for decades, his strength was simply inferior to that of the imperial court, and Zhu Chenhao was a man who was self-conscious, strategic mistakes, coupled with encountering Wang Shouren, this rebellion failed after forty-three days, and Zhu Chenhao was finally captured.
Zhu Chenhao, as the King of Ning, had conclusive evidence of rebellion, so he and his sons were executed, the title of King of Ning was abolished, and the imperial court began to deal with the other descendants of Zhu Quan who followed King Ning.
Zhu Quan's third son, Zhu Panjue, had previously been created the Prince of Yichun, and his grandson Zhu Gongshu followed Zhu Chenhao the Prince of Ning and committed suicide and the throne was revoked.
Zhu Dianpei's younger brother Zhu Dianpeng had previously been created the Prince of Ruichang, and his great-grandson Zhu Gongli followed Zhu Chenhao, the King of Ning, in rebellion, was killed, and his descendants were imprisoned at the high wall of Fengyang, and the throne was deposed.
Therefore, Zhu Quan's descendants were left with only four branches: Zhu Dianpei's younger brother King Shicheng, King Le'an, King Yiyang (Restored Prince), and Zhu Dianpei's descendant King Jian'an.
These four branches have since developed in Jiangxi, but without the protection of King Ning, the first king, they have a very difficult life as a collateral of sinners.
During the Jiajing period, the Shicheng Wang lineage was abolished because the direct line of the Junwang was childless, and the Yiyang Wangyi clan was also abolished during the Wanli Period because the direct line was childless, and finally only the two branches of the Le'an King and the Jian'an King and the other Zhimai clans were left. These descendants of Zhu Quan no longer dared to cause any trouble, because they were already on the emperor's blacklist, so they could only live honestly and honestly, and eventually disappeared completely with the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
