We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson Emperor Jianwen was seized imperial power by his uncle Zhu Di shortly after he ascended the throne, so how did king Yan in a corner of the land defeat Emperor Jianwen?
In fact, for the overthrow of Emperor Jianwen's rule, his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang was responsible for a certain extent. After all, if it were not for zhu Yuanzhang's vigorous eradication of heroes, he hoped to establish a Daming Jiangshan that was mainly civilian officials above the court and guarded by the king of the domain outside. And Zhu Yuanzhang may not have thought that the feudal monarchy he admired eventually became the biggest problem for Emperor Jianwen.
As the eldest grandson of the emperor, Emperor Jianwen was justified as the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he was too young, and he liked Confucianism, so he also admired Wenzhi, which was different from the powerful rule of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Unlike his fathers, Emperor Jianwen grew up from the war, and he ascended the throne in a hurry with his bookish anger.
The so-called new officials took office with three fires, and after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he was also eager to carry out a series of reforms. Although Emperor Jianwen's reforms reduced the influence of tyranny to a certain extent, they did not handle the problem of cutting the domain well, which led to the end of his later rule.
After establishing the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang divided his nine sons into kings and gave them great power and troops, hoping that they could serve as a barrier for the Ming Dynasty. And Zhu Yuanzhang also set a lot of rules to explain and restrict the rights of the king of the domain. Among them, if the imperial court has traitors in charge, the kings can gather their own forces and listen to the emperor's edicts to eliminate the adultery, which has also become a famous teacher of Zhu Di, the later king of Yan.
Emperor Jianwen was worried that the king of the clan would support the army and respect himself, so he had the idea of cutting the domain, but unfortunately his way went wrong, which led to the failure of the slashing domain. Shortly after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Emperor Jianwen sent an army to raid the King of Zhou, arrest him, and then send him as a civilian to Yunnan.
The kings of the various regions were frightened by Emperor Jianwen's handling of this, and began to endanger themselves. Later, Emperor Jianwen dealt with 4 clan kings in succession. In this stormy way of handling, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, also felt frightened, he knew that he would also have such a day, so he had the heart to rebel.
Originally, Emperor Jianwen, like dealing with other clan kings, could directly send troops to arrest Zhu Di, and he must be famous and wait for Zhu Di's rebellion to be solid. Emperor Jianwen's lack of decisiveness gave Zhu Di sufficient time to prepare. This also led to Zhu Di being able to become emperor later.
