To talk about this issue, we must first start with their father, that is, Li Yuan and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Yuan himself was the second generation of the rich, he himself was a nobleman in the Northern Dynasty, which can be described as a generational public family, and later Li Yuan's aunt intermarried with Emperor Wen of Sui, and Li Yuan became a veritable imperial nobleman.
This point is very different from Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Yuan was destined to be a rich and noble family from the moment he was born.
Therefore, the experience of youth is more of a full meal of wine, not eating chai rice oil and salt, and naturally developing a kind of inertia.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was very different, Zhu Yuanzhang came from a poor family, and the most difficult time in the family could not even afford to buy the coffin when his parents died.
Zhu Yuanzhang also experienced insults before he was able to bury his parents.
If he hadn't met a good person, perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang's parents would have thrown their bodies into the wild. In that ancient era of heavy filial piety, it was bound to give Zhu Yuanzhang a stimulus!
After burying his parents, Zhu Yuanzhang broke into the world alone. He has let people go of cattle, worked as a monk, and worked as a beggar, which can be said to have tasted all the tastes of the world.
It is also these experiences that make Zhu Yuanzhang have the quality of perseverance. At the same time, Because of his special experience, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to hard-won things, including the world that Zhu Yuanzhang finally got.
Moreover, Li Yuan's access to the world was much easier than Zhu Yuanzhang's. As the saying goes, "Hard-won things will be cherished." ”
On the contrary, what is easy to get will not care. Li Yuan himself had a family background, and when he raised an army in Taiyuan, there were not only soldiers, but also generals, but also the assistance of Li Shimin and several other sons, and he could be said to have been carried to the throne by everyone.
Li Yuan
During the crusade against the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan said the most: "King qin, what do you think?" On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang joined Guo Zixing's rebel army from a beggar, and at first he was the lowest-level creep, and he was almost starved to death by Guo Zixing.
Therefore, for Zhu Yuanzhang, it is a great honor to live to the end, not to mention that he also sat on the throne, so after Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, he attached great importance to centralized power.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just founded the Ming Dynasty, not only treated the heroes with a fierce heart, but also treated his sons very defensively.
Zhu Yuanzhang made his sons the king of the domain, and he was not allowed to come to Yingtian (Nanjing) easily without his will. And in terms of military power, when there was no war, all the military power was in Zhu Yuanzhang's own hands.
Although Zhu Di was said to be the king of the domain, he really did not have the military power in his hands, only a few bits and pieces of family soldiers.
Even when Zhu Di later launched the Battle of Jingnan and began to recruit his nephew Emperor Jianwen, he also spent money to recruit mercenaries, that is, the famous "Duoyan Three Guards".
Duoyan Sanwei
Duoyan Sanwei was a mercenary army of Mongolian iron horsemen and warriors, who were originally mercenaries of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and later dug up from Zhu Quan when Zhu Di was preparing for a mutiny.
It can be said that the reason why Zhu Di was able to successfully raise an army had a great relationship with the bravery of Duoyan Sanwei.
From the fact that after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he personally sealed Daning Wei to Duoyan Sanwei, which is now the Area of Guangning, it can be seen that Zhu Di attaches great importance to Duoyan Sanwei.
On the contrary, after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he did not care too much about the centralization of power.
After Li Yuan became emperor, he gave Li Shimin a privilege, that is, Li Shimin himself could set up an official position, to put it bluntly, it was a small imperial court. He did not drive all his sons to the domain like Zhu Yuanzhang, but stayed in Kyoto.
Li Yuan's aunt Emperor Wen of Sui was the lone empress
In this way, Li Shimin and his military generals were in the capital.
Not only that, Li Shimin still has military power in his hands, which provides good conditions for Li Shimin to create a coup d'état.
The second reason is that Zhu Di's prestige was not as high as That of Li Shimin when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive.
There was a saying circulating: "It was Li Er who laid the foundation for the Tang Dynasty." "Li Er refers to Li Shimin, when Li Yuan raised an army, Li Shimin was already 16 years old, and in ancient times, 16 years old could already be emperor.
Li Shimin
Therefore, in the process of Li Yuan's conquest, Li Shimin also created many battle achievements, and it can even be said that his battle achievements surpassed Li Yuan, so his reputation is very high.
Zhu Di was different, Zhu Di was born after Zhu Yuanzhang became king, and did not catch up with the meritorious service, so he did not lay the foundation in the chaotic world.
That is to say, Zhu Di did not take the lead, so when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, Zhu Di could not shake Zhu Yuanzhang's status in the slightest, if it was really hard, it was basically a pebble to hit the stone.
Zhu Di
Therefore, based on the above reasons, it can be concluded that the reason why Zhu Di did not dare to oppose Zhu Yuanzhang was first because he had no military power in his hands, and the real power was firmly held by Zhu Yuanzhang. The second is that he basically has no prestige, that is, he has no appeal, and at this moment, he has rebelled, and perhaps he has not yet left the city, and he has been wiped out at home!
