1. Zhu Di ascended the throne
For any dynasty, the issue of heirs has always been both sensitive and dangerous. If chosen, the dynasty continues to grow. What if the choice is not good? That's a bad thing— isn't the Ming Dynasty an example?
After the death of Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Tieding, Zhu Yuanzhang abandoned his son and chose his grandson Zhu Yunjiao to succeed him, and as a result, the "Battle of Jingnan" suddenly broke out.
After Zhu Di beat Zhu Yunjiao away, he sat on the throne with his ass on the throne, but he said: In fact, I only followed the "Ancestral Precepts" left by my father, and eradicated the rebellious ministers around the emperor, at most to learn from Zhou Gong's good example. But I didn't expect my nephew to be gone. The so-called world can not be without a master for a day, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I Zhu Di will not go to hell who will enter? Therefore, it was difficult for him to become this emperor!
(Translated from Zhu Di's "Dengji (Ji) Edict": Emperor Gao's concubine, Zu Youmingxun: There is no righteous subject in the dynasty, there is adultery within, and Wang Dexing is a teacher to beg for it...) So he was stationed in Qidian, suo qi treacherous return, Shubu Zhou Gongfu became the righteousness of the king..., the heavenly throne can not be long empty, the artifact can not be without a master, the previous chapter advised. Repeatedly refusing, He is bowing down to public opinion... ）
Look, the matter of grabbing the throne can be said so fresh and unworldly, chic and pleasant, and there is no one! It seems that he completely forgot that before, after Fang Xiaoru refused to write the "Edict of The Enthronement", he was furious and disregarded Yao Guangxiao's instructions and killed Fang Xiaoru's Ten Clans!
Now the question arises, since Fang Xiaoru was killed for refusing to write the "Edict of the Ascension to the Throne", who will come from this fresh and unworldly, chic and pleasant "Edict of Ascension"?
Anyway, it was definitely not Zhu Di himself. Nowadays, many people believe that it should be written by Xie Jin, the first talent of the Ming Dynasty. The author also supports this statement.
2. The Father and Son of Grace
The reason why Zhu Di did not force Fang Xiaoru to write an edict of ascension to the throne was because Fang Xiaoru was called by Yao Guangxiao, "the seed of the world's readers". At the same time, the edict against the King of Yan was written by Fang Xiaoru! The so-called high status, great influence.
Now that Fang Xiaoru has been killed, who is still qualified to write? It can only be the first talent to solve the problem!
In "Daming Style", Xie Jin is portrayed as a clown-like character, which is actually a big fallacy. As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, Xie Jin was already famous in Daming Jianghu.
Xie Jin participated in the township examination at the age of 18, and xie yuan in high school in one fell swoop, that is, the first place. Didn't Tang Bohu also claim to be Tang Xieyuan? But compared with Xie Jin, it is too far away. Because in the second year, Xie Jin continued to work hard and was admitted to the jinshi. At the age of 19, he became a soldier, not a cow?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word after learning this, so he let Xie Jin come to his side, the so-called attendant. The meaning is very clear, as a descendant of daming, personally cultivated. He even said this to Xie Jin personally: "Emperor And Eryi, The Emperor and the Son, the Father and Son, should know everything.
This means that my old Zhu and you xiao xie, although you are a monarch, but in fact, you are like a father and son, so you can say whatever you want.
Looking at Xie Jin's qualifications, is it no less than Fang Xiaoru? Therefore, when Fang Xiaoru refused to write Zhu Di's edict of accession to the throne and was killed, only Xie Jin could handle it! others? Sorry, this kind of "copywriting" is not something that anyone can write, can write, and dare to write.
Write well, Zhu Di is happy, from now on it will be a soaring yellow Tengda, can not write well? Don't be so exaggerated to kill the three tribes, the head of the person will inevitably move the nest, right?
Therefore, the author also agrees that Zhu Di's "Dengji Edict" is from xie jin's hand. In addition to the qualifications, fame, etc., there is another important reason, that is, Xie Jin's real flying Huang Tengda was realized after Zhu Di became emperor.
3. Good Saint Sun
People who know a little about the history of mingming probably know the "good saint sun" stem. That is, after Zhu Di became emperor, he soon found out that the emperor's work was so troublesome? Especially in the matter of the crown prince, not only was he afraid and headache, but manchu Wenwu also reacted to this.
Zhu Gaozi was the eldest son, a candidate strongly supported by the civilian official clique, and even more so, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal status as the "Son of the Prince of Yan". However, he was not liked by Zhu Di.
Zhu Di liked Zhu Gaoxu and once said that this son was like me. But the fatal thing is that almost all of Zhu Gaoxu's supporters are military generals. That is to say, on the issue of the selection of the crown prince, the Ming Dynasty's culture and martial arts were sharply opposed! In this case, don't say Zhu Di, everyone has a big head.
However, at this moment, Zhu Di made a very strange move, looking for jin to find out: Who did the prince choose!
Obviously, at this moment, a question once again appeared: why did Zhu Difei seek xie jin consultation instead of looking for someone else? For example, his black-robed prime minister Yao Guangxiao. According to the author's analysis, there are two reasons.
The first one, as I have basically said above, can be summed up as xie jin because he (probably) wrote the "Dengji Edict" to Zhu Di, forcefully exonerating Zhu Di's usurpation of the throne. Therefore, he became Zhu Di's trusted confidant. During this period, Xie Jin also appropriately showed that he was only loyal to Zhu Di and did not choose a side!
Second, Zhu Yuanzhang once said to Xie Jin: "Emperor And Eryi are kings and subjects, and enyou fathers and sons should know everything." This is equivalent to letting Xie Jin, nominally half of the "Zhu family".
As for Zhu Di, now Xie Jin is loyal to me, has forcefully whitewashed the "usurpation of the throne" for me, and has also had my father's "golden mouth and jade words" certification, naturally in the matter of "establishing a prince", Xie Jin has the right to speak!
Therefore, it was only natural that Zhu Di did not ask Yao Guangxiao, but asked Xie Jin. Xie Jin was indeed a talented man, and only said three words, "Good Saint Sun", referring to Zhu Zhanji, the son of Zhu Gaozi! That is to say, let Zhu Di take a long-term view and choose Zhu Gaozi as emperor, which can ensure that Daming has at least two generations of worry!
This sentence can be called a hammer and final sound, which makes Zhu Di suddenly cheerful. Therefore, Zhu Gaozi was made crown prince.
4. Why did Xie Jin die a tragic death?
The last question, since Xie Jin is so bullish and critical, why did he lose Zhu Di's trust and eventually freeze to death? There was only one reason: Xie Jin regarded the temple as a jianghu.
As early as when Xie Jin followed Zhu Yuanzhang, he had a momentum of happiness and revenge. For example, in the "Great Western Sealing Matter", zhu Yuanzhang's torture and killing in his later years are pointed out one by one. Although Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading it, he praised Jin's talent and so on. But it's important to know that sometimes being praised by your boss isn't a good thing.
Praise and adoption are two different things. To boast for half a day, but not to listen to you, this is dangerous. Zhu Yuanzhang was thus relieved. As a result, Xie Jin did not forgive and went to the "Ten Strategies of Taiping". In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang called out to his father and said, "Take your son home, let him continue to study, and in ten years he will become a great instrument!" ”
In this way, Xie Jin was kicked away by Zhu Yuanzhang. He didn't come back until after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne! But as soon as he looked up, where else was there his place around the new emperor?
Xie Jin followed Zhu Di as well, and after he hammered out the "candidate for the prince", he did not know how to advance and retreat, and still adhered to his style of happiness and revenge. Soon after, he said to Zhu Di, "Emperor Boss, you should restrain Zhu Gaoxu well." ”
This sentence must have made Zhu Di suspicious - after half a day of trouble, you had already stood on the side of Zhu Gaozi, but you still pretended to be so pure for me, saying "good saint sun". So Zhu Di kicked Xie Jin to Guangxi on the grounds of "separating flesh and bones".
So-called: the rivers and lakes can be happy to take revenge, but the temple can not be happy to speak of?
As a result, Xie Jin fell out of favor, and Zhu Gaoxu, who was vetoed by him, hated him thoroughly, and in front of Zhu Di, all kinds of black solutions were made. So in the end, Xie Jin's tragic death became inevitable.
