The world knows that Zhu Di took the throne, inheriting the seat of Zhu Di's father Zhu Yuanzhang, not the seat of his nephew Zhu Yunjiao, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he ordered everything about Zhu Yunjiao to be "cleaned up", when Zhu Di reigned, the economy was prosperous, the national strength was strong, and there was a "Yongle prosperous world", but Zhu Di also did a lot of things when he ascended the throne.
The first thing was to draft the announcement of the enthronement, when Zhu Di asked the Ming Dynasty minister Fang Xiaoru to draft an edict of incumbency, but Fang Xiaoru refused, before Zhu Di was still the King of Yan, Zhu Di entered the capital, and the civil and military officials saw the wind and turned to Zhu Di, but Fang Xiaoru refused to surrender, which was captured by Zhu Di and imprisoned.
Zhu Di was repeatedly rejected by Fang Xiaoru, so he "Zhulian Ten Tribes" of Fang Xiaoru, and more than 800 people of Fang Xiaoru's Ten Tribes were killed. On the day that Zhu Di took the throne, Qin Huaihe found two female corpses, and after the identity was verified, Zhu Di was furious.
On July 17, 1402, Zhu Di ascended the throne as emperor, inheriting the great rivers and mountains left by Zhu Yuanzhang, and people found two female corpses in the Qinhuai River, and Ying Tianfu Yin was also embarrassed after learning the news, one was that Zhu Di was officially emperor, this matter was "obscure", and the other was that these two female corpses were special and did not report, I am afraid that Zhu Di would blame.
Ying Tianfu Yin still reported it to Zhu Di after thinking about it, and Zhu Di took a look at it, the two female corpses were Fang Xiaoru's two young daughters, at this time Fang Xiaoru had not yet been executed, but was imprisoned in a large prison, Fang Xiaoru would rather die unyieldingly, although Zhu Di was angry in his heart, saying that he would put Fang Xiaoru to death, but he still had some consideration in his heart.
When Zhu Di led a large army from Beiping, Yao Guangxiao, the black-clad prime minister next to Zhu Di, told Zhu Di: "Fang Xiaoru will definitely not surrender, but I hope not to kill him. Zhu Di thought that Fang Xiaoru did not write an edict, and naturally someone wrote it, so he still held an enthronement ceremony.
In fact, Fang Xiaoru would rather die unyieldingly, and his family was the first to learn about it, and what good results could he have if he violated "Long Wei"? Therefore, on the eve of Zhu Di's ascension to the throne, Fang Xiaoru's wife Zheng Shi and two sons Fang Zhongxian and Fang Zhongyu hanged themselves, and Fang Xiaoru's two daughters also jumped into the Qinhuai River, and Zhu Di was salvaged on the day he ascended the throne.
Zhu Di was not angry and thought to himself, "Fang Xiaoru, you are really good." On July 25, 1402, Fang Xiaoru generously died and made a desperate statement: "Heaven has sent down troubles of war, who knows the reasons for this, the treacherous courtiers have fulfilled their wishes, and asked for the control of the country to play tricks." The loyal courtiers are angry and bitter, and the blood and tears are flowing; what else can they ask for when they are martyred for the king with these blood and tears? Whining and mourning, ah, probably not my complaints. ”
Fang Xiaoru's younger brother Fang Xiaoyou was willing to share the hardships with his brother, went to the execution ground together, and also gave a poem and died, from then on, Fang Xiaoru's works were also listed as banned books, and during Zhu Di's reign, all book collectors were capital crimes, but there were still people who risked death to hide them.
