Friends who are familiar with the history of Ming must know that Zhu Di actually started an army because Zhu Yunjiao engaged in cutting the domain, obviously he thought that it was wrong to cut the domain, but why did he cut the domain after he became emperor?
Zhu Di
Although Zhu Di's banner was JingNan, that is, the side of the Qing Emperor, but the clear-eyed people knew that this was because Zhu Yunjiao was committed to cutting the domain to strengthen his rule, and the Yan king Zhu Di was the king of the clan who was the greatest threat to the imperial power, so Zhu Yunjiao was going to get him on the head sooner or later, Zhu Di was of course not willing, so he raised an army in the name of the Qing jun side, on the surface, it was he thought that Zhu Yunjiao had traitors around him, and Zhu Yunjiao was seduced by these traitors before he swung a butcher's knife at his uncles. In fact, he is in order to keep his position, by the way, in case he can fight the world?
To tell the truth, even if Zhu Yunjiao did not cut the domain, this Yan King Zhu Di would rebel, remember Blue Jade? As early as the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, Lan Yu had sent a message to the then crown prince Zhu Biao: "The king of Yan is in the country, the people are quiet and undisturbed, and they win the hearts of the army and the people, and the people say that they have the degree of a king... The courtiers also heard the words of those who were looking forward to it, and Yandi had the qi of heaven, and His Highness should judge it.
It can be seen that when Old Zhu was there, Zhu Di did not stop and wanted to rebel, and at this time, Zhu Yunjiao's slashing of the domain was almost on his head, and of course he was going to rebel. So the question is, since Zhu Di rebelled because he cut the clan, why did he also cut the clan after he became emperor?
First, although Zhu Di rebelled because of the cutting of the domain, it did not mean that the cutting of the domain was incorrect, but the situation at that time was different, during the Zhu Yunjiao period, Zhu Di was the largest king of the domain, and the cutting of the domain was to ask for his life, of course, he thought that it was wrong to cut the domain, and he wanted to rebel. After Zhu Di became emperor, in order to stabilize the imperial power, of course, he wanted to weaken the strength of the king of the domain, so he also began to cut the domain after he succeeded to the throne.
Second, at that time, the king of the clan had a lot of power, due to the geographical advantage, they occupied a large part of the territory of the country, the resources of the king of the clan occupied more, the country is less, when the country encounters danger, these clan kings in order to preserve their own strength, certainly will not do their best, and the country has no money and grain to deal with the crisis, as the emperor, of course, to recover this part of the resources and privileges, in order to deal with the crisis of the whole country.
Third, the king of the clan at that time was still set up during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, when the old pig considered that his flesh and bones were of course more reliable than those of the generals with foreign surnames, and they could sit back and relax by themselves, but after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the relationship between these clan kings and the emperor was not so close, and even they may despise the imperial power, so whether it was Zhu Yunjiao or Zhu Di, as long as he became the emperor, it was very correct, so Zhu Di had to cut the clan when he ascended to the throne. Even if a king of the clan is established, he must be the child of the emperor of the people. Old Zhu's children are only Zhu Yunjiao's uncle and Zhu Di's younger brother, of course, not as reliable as his own stupid son.
In the end, the king of the clan had great power in his hands, but he was not so close to the emperor, so they either did not listen to the orders issued by the emperor, or they obeyed the yin and yang, which made the emperor very helpless, they were no longer good ministers guarding the frontier, but a stone that hindered the progress of the country, and the emperor of course had to kick it away.
To sum up, when Zhu Di raised his army, because he was the king of the clan, he opposed the cutting of the clan, and after taking the world, he was the emperor, and the king of the clan was a constraint and threat to him, so he also had to cut the clan after he ascended the throne.
