First, the problem of no solution
In 1453, the Ming Dynasty, which had just embarked on the right track, suddenly became strange again, because the crown prince Zhu Jianji died!
The death of the prince seems to be a terrible reincarnation for Daming. The death of Zhu Biao, the first prince of Daming, led to the Battle of Jingnan, and eventually Zhu Di took away Emperor Jianwen and took away the peaches. After the throne had been passed down for three generations, it came to Zhu Qizhen.com.
Unfortunately, Zhu Qizhen, at the peak of Daming's national strength, unbelievably played the "change of tumu fort". Without the support of Yu Qian's "patching up the heavens" and Zhu Qiyu, Daming Zhen would have become the second Southern Song Dynasty.
Today, Zhu Qizhen is in the Nangong, enjoying his life as emperor taishang, while Zhu Qiyu is grief-stricken. He only had one son, Zhu Jianji. A year ago, in order to make Zhu Jianji the crown prince, he disregarded the emperor's dignity to bribe the chancellor, but everything had no choice but to spend it - could it be that Zhu Qiyu wanted to become the second Jianwen Emperor?
Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu was only 25 years old this year. The so-called as long as you are willing to work hard, your son will have it, and everything will be there. It was in this state of mind that Zhu Qiyu began to play all kinds of demons. For example, the incident of Li Xi'er's entry into the palace, which was angrily rebuked by many historians, occurred in this situation.
Li Xi'er, originally a prostitute in the Jiangnan area, later fell into the Beijing Division, because of its beauty, it caused a sensation in the Beijing Division for a time and became the "first card". However, in the fifth year of Jingtai, that is, the year after Zhu Jianji's death, he was able to enter the palace and became Zhu Qiyu's favorite concubine, while his younger brother Li Chen became a Jinyi Wei Baihu.
This incident later greatly annoyed Zhu Qizhen, and after the change of the door, he roared angrily: "Adulterous and evil villain, it is so that when you meet yi yifu and become rich!" "One shot punished the people who specifically operated this matter at that time." (From the Records of Emperor Ming Yingzong)
But in any case, it was obvious that Zhu Qiyu had worked desperately to give birth to his son and let his own successor sit on the throne.
However, his father Zhu Zhanji, who had few heirs and was late, gave birth to Zhu Qizhen at the age of 27, and only Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu in his life were such two sons.
Zhu Qiyu was very unfortunate, and he perfectly inherited this gene of Zhu Zhanji, and no matter how hard he tried, he would have no heirs. On the contrary, when the Emperor Zhu Qizhen of the Nangong Zhongzhong was perfectly avoided, sons and daughters gave birth to a large wave.... In the face of all this, I am afraid that I can only smile bitterly, no wonder it will become an "unsolvable problem", who can have a way!
Why did Zhu Qiyu get seriously ill at a young age? One is despair, and the other is what he has done to him. As a result, when he got sick, the situation became even more bizarre - who would succeed to the throne? This is the most important opportunity for people to be rich, and the so-called high merit is the Savior. As a result, the Taishang Emperor Zhu Qizhen in the Nangong suddenly became incense.
Second, the change of the door, who is behind the scenes?
Fairly speaking, Zhu Qizhen had confessed his fate since he was sent to the Nangong Palace, and he no longer dared to expect that one day the salted fish would turn over. Thus children are born one after another. It was speculators such as Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, and of course, Empress Sun who sat behind the scenes that gave him the opportunity to turn the tables.
Empress Sun had an older brother named Sun Jizong, who commanded the affairs during Zhu Qiyu's reign. Before the change of the door, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, and others had "secretly whitened to the empress dowager, Xu Zhi". That is to say, Empress Sun agreed to the change of seizing the door, after all, Zhu Qizhen was no longer a tool, and he was also his son, the so-called mother was precious to the son.
Therefore, Sun Jizong and his younger brother Sun Jixian led "forty-three people, including sons and nephews, nephews, righteous men, family members, and military companions, each with weapons, seized the east gate, and went straight to the palace gate".
This is recorded in the Records of Emperor Ming Yingzong. That is, the real culprit behind the change of the door should be Empress Sun, that is, the heroine Sun Ruowei in "Daming Fenghua". And she also ordered (or acquiesced) 43 of her brothers to participate in the whole process.
Obviously, from the analysis of these records, Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang and others are more like the front-end puppets, the role of the knife handlers. This actually explains why Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang had such courage, and at the same time, Yu Qian had a heavy army in his hands, why he did not do anything the whole time.
First, Zhu Qiyu was able to become emperor because of Empress Sun's edict - "extraordinary times, extraordinary things" at the time of the change of Tumu Fort. At the same time, this also determines that Zhu Qiyu's position is not correct, and it is not inherited from his father Zhu Zhanji. Now that Empress Sun wants to take it back, it also belongs to the "extraordinary period, doing extraordinary things" of the Ming Dynasty, what can you do!
Second: Zhu Qiyu was now ill to death due to his absence, and the only people who were qualified to succeed to the throne were Zhu Qizhen and the former crown prince, Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen (Ming Xianzong).
This is another fight between the old Zhu family's own people, and without the permission of the Zhu family, what are outsiders blindly mixing? Isn't the lesson of the Battle of Jing difficult enough?
Therefore, Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang dared to be so blatant - not only did they have authorization, but also in the team of door grabbers, there were also Brothers and Relatives of Empress Sun to help, what was more "stinky fart" than this? Unless at this moment, Zhu Qiyu arranged the people and horses in advance, and personally characterized: they are plotting rebellion, don't care who it is, cut me to death! This is the hedge.
However, Zhu Qiyu had completely laid flat, and seemed to be mentally prepared for this result. This led to one of the most crucial questions: Zhu Qiyu, who was seriously ill at the time, was shocked at first when he heard the bells and drums in the palace ringing in unison, and got up and asked: Is it Yu Qian?
The people around him hurriedly told: It is not Yu Qian, it is the Emperor Taishang who has killed him!
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu, who had been stripped of the throne, cried out with relief: Brother do it, good!
Zhu Qiyu What is wrong with this, why do you want to shout well? Could it just be aimed at Yu Qian?
Third, before the incident, Yu Qian said something
In fact, just before the change of the door, Yu Qian had already received relevant news.
According to the "West Lake Tour Zhiyu", Emperor Jing, Shi Heng and others plotted to support Nannei, and The Duke of Fuyin (Yu Qian's son, Yu Mian) knew of his plot and went to court. Shao Baogong (Yu Qian) Oh: How does the boy know about major national affairs? There is a destiny, Rudi go!
That is, Shi Heng and others launched a change to seize the door, not seamless, such a big thing, will inevitably leak the news, just by Yu Qian's son learned, rushed back to tell Yu Qian, reminding his father to prepare. What did you expect to be angry and drink: What do you little hairy children know? Everything has its own destiny, shut me up and go!
Among them, the most incomprehensible is the phrase "own destiny", so what does Yu Qian mean? Quite simply, I have explained this problem almost entirely before. To sum up, in one sentence: the emperor fights without the relevant authorization or permission, and cannot take action, otherwise it will cause greater disasters and even more unable to clean up!
We can imagine that if Yu Qian took decisive action, although Zhu Qiyu retained the throne, he would not kill Zhu Qizhen? Kill Zhu Qizhen, his son former crown prince Zhu Jianshen, do you want to kill? All killed, to whom does the throne go? No matter who you give, can you hold this scene? If it can't be suppressed, will it be another civil unrest among the knife soldiers? So will the foreign tribes that are eyeing the tiger take the opportunity to enter the Kou...
This is Yu Qian, he has never thought about his own life and death, he is all thinking about the "Mandate of Heaven".
This is also Zhu Qiyu's helplessness, the reason why he first asked "Yu Qianye" after hearing the bells and drums was not at all worried about Yu Qian's usurpation of the throne - the author is very opposed to this view.
If Yu Qian wanted to usurp the throne, why did he deny that he had resolutely "made up the heavens" by moving south, and because of this, he had offended so many people and let himself change from a great ming to an "orphan minister"?
For example, Yu Qian denied moving south and angrily scolded Xu Youzhen. After repelling Vala, Shi Heng wanted to hold his thigh, but was scolded by Yu Qian. Yu Qian was so "unsympathetic", which forced these two people to become sworn enemies. In this way of doing things, is this a rush to usurp power? Joke!
Zhu Qiyu is not stupid, Yu Qian can think of the "Mandate of Heaven", as the Emperor of Daming, he will only think more than Yu Qian, but there is really no solution to lie flat - anyway, the throne is not Zhu Qizhen or Zhu Jianshen, there is nothing for me, as long as I ensure that the emperor is a descendant of his father Zhu Zhanji, even if the task is completed.
Therefore, asking Yu Qian first was worried that something big was wrong, and at that time, Yu Qian was in power, so naturally asked Yu Qian first - not so much thick black!
When he heard that zhu Qizhen had taken his throne, he shouted good, because all this was within his expectation, and there was nothing surprising.
Therefore, what should really be paid attention to and discussed in the change of seizing the door is not what Zhu Qiyu's attitude was at that time, and whether he would rebel with Yu Qian, but what Zhu Qizhen did afterwards -- he actually killed Yu Qian for the crime of rebellion and disregarding the injustice of the world.
This kind of irony is really unacceptable and unbearable...
