First, the fierce Zhu Gaoxu
In the history of the Ming Dynasty from the "Battle of Jingnan" to the "Reign of Renxuan", although there were three emperors, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaoxu was a figure that no one could bypass or despise. It can even be said that one Zhu Gaoxu can stir up these three generations of Daming Emperors from living in peace.
Even half of the Jianwen Emperor!
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Emperor Jianwen asked Zhu Di to send your three precious sons to the capital, and I would "educate" you. At that time, Zhu Di did not dare to break his wrist with Emperor Jianwen, so he had to obediently obey.
Xu Da's son, Zhu Di's brother-in-law Xu Huizu, wrote a secret letter to Emperor Jianwen, highlighting Zhu Gaoxu, saying: "Among the three nephews, Du Gaoxu is brave and rogue, not only is he disloyal, but he is also rebellious to his father, and he will be in serious trouble one day." (from the History of Ming)
This means: Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxuan, among my three nephews, Zhu Gaoxu is fierce and strong. At the same time, he is still a rogue, so he will not be loyal to you at all. And I dare to conclude that he dares to betray his father Zhu Di, such a person will be a big disaster in the future!
The subtext is: What is Zhu Gaoxu still doing, kill it! Unfortunately, Emperor Jianwen was young after all, did not rest assured of this matter, and finally released this brother three times back to Beijing, and the subsequent historical development could make Emperor Jianwen regret his death!
First of all, Zhu Gaozi, this one obviously belongs to the category of "the lice of the bar bite and hurt". In the Battle of Jingnan, he led the old, weak, sick and disabled to defend Beijing, and hardened hundreds of thousands of imperial court troops, preserving Zhu Di's rear foundation.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was named, really became the sharpest fast knife in Zhu Di's hand, saving Zhu Di from danger several times. It can be said that how much Zhu Di can fight, how powerful Zhu Gaoxu is, and the "martial arts" of this father and son are actually a state of bondage.
Therefore, the real Zhu Gaoxu in history can be called a historical fierce man! So why is it that in "Daming Style", Zhu Gaoxu, who is so fierce, is suspected of being "funny and responsible"?
This is not a deliberate attempt to weaken or smear him, but the things that Zhu Gaoxu has done since Zhu Di ascended the throne are really speechless.
Second, become a "proud petite expert"
During zhu di's time, Zhu Gaoxu was actually happy for a year or two. Because at that time, he threatened to "jing difficult and residual power", so that anyone had to avoid its sharp edge, even his father Zhu Di.
As early as the Battle of Jingnan, in order to encourage him to kill the enemy bravely, Zhu Di once patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your brother is not in good health, you must work hard, Oh, I am optimistic about you!" What does this mean? Everybody knows! Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu began to praise himself as "the first skill of Jing Difficulty". The subtext is that even my father's ascension to the throne is my credit!
The evidence is that Zhu Gaoxu often compares himself to Li Shimin. But the trouble is that Zhu Di is neither Li Yuan nor Li Jiancheng! Therefore, Zhu Di was furious, and in the second year of Yongle, he "died with the yuanzi (eldest son Zhu Gaoxu) Renxian, and Taizu lied (the son of the Yan king), and Gao Xu had many faults (mistakes) and did not bear fruit."
Zhu Gaoxu lost the crown prince's position, but instead of reflecting, he quickly opened the mode of "arrogant petite master".
It is said that once, Zhu Di worshipped the imperial tomb, which was a major event of the country. Naturally, The Crown Prince Zhu Gaoxu and the Han King Zhu Gaoxu also had to follow. Zhu Gaozi was too fat, walking like a walking "meat ball", it happened that his foot was still injured at that time, so he was supported by two guards, but he still accidentally fell to the ground.
It is reasonable to say that on such a major occasion, the prince's ugliness means punching the entire old Zhu family in the face. But Zhu Gaoxu behind him was happy, saying: "The predecessors fell, and the posterity knows the police." This means that the person in front of you has fallen, and the role is to remind the person behind you to be careful!
At this time, the smell of gunpowder was already relatively strong, because Zhu Zhanji's sentence had the meaning of "the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches was behind", which naturally made Zhu Gaoxu "look back and lose color", obviously he did not expect to develop into this. As a result, the great matter of ancestor worship in good end was thus disturbed by Zhu Gaoxu!
So is this his intention to do so? Not really. As mentioned earlier, this is a big event for the Zhu family, if it is a disgrace, it is a loss together, no one should want to run, Zhu Gaoxu is not stupid!
So, all you can say is that he is too arrogant! Of course, the point of cruelty is that I feel that everything must be around myself, but I am not in the center position, and I lack the corresponding attraction (talent, morality, vision, etc.) ! And it was precisely his arrogant personality that caused a series of tragedies in his future!
Third, why are you trembling with Yu Qian's scolding?
To be fair, the hearts and minds of the vast majority of people change with the change of status. When Zhu Zhanji was a "good saint grandson", he naturally couldn't help but see Zhu Gaoxu laughing at his father's fall. But when he became emperor, he couldn't bear it and had to endure it, because the status was there.
Zhu Gaozi had been emperor for 11 months before he fell ill and died. At that time, Zhu Zhanji was still in Nanjing, and if he wanted to succeed to the throne, he would inevitably return to Beijing. At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu is in Le'an, Shandong. Suddenly, he did not take the throne of his brother, so how could he let go of the nephew's throne? At that time, my father Zhu Di took the throne of his nephew.
So Zhu Gaoxu buried an ambush halfway, intercepted and killed Zhu Zhanji, and then ran back to Beijing to seize the throne. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanji actually bypassed his fiefdom and succeeded to the throne in Beijing. Angry enough Zhu Gaoxu choked - playing yin tricks is not OK, then open, I am the opposite!
There is no doubt that Zhu Gaoxu was hanged again and easily suppressed. No matter how disgusting Zhu Zhanji was to this uncle, he also had to take care of the royal face, and he couldn't always play with the Zhu family to hurt each other, right? Therefore, he sent Yu Qian to educate Zhu Gaoxu for himself.
Who is Yu Qian? Later, when the soldiers of the Wallachian army came to Beijing, he did not change his face. Isn't it just to educate Zhu Gaoxu? Others don't dare, I dare! Therefore, Yu Qian, "The right words are brand new, and the sound is very strong." Gao Xu prostrated himself, trembling, and said that his subjects would die of all sins and deaths, but His Majesty would give his orders." (From the History of the Ming Dynasty)
That is to say, Yu Qian scolded Zhu Gaoxu with a trembling and trembling, and a strong expression, I obeyed, I really obeyed!
After reading this record, do you feel both amusing and a little incredible? Looking at what Zhu Gaoxu did, even Zhu Di, Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Zhanji, these three generations of emperors he was not afraid, why would he be scolded like this by Yu Qian?
In my opinion, there are two reasons!
First: Referring to Yu Qian's future deeds, we can see that if a person like Yu Qian gets angry, he will be like a lion roaring! It is the feeling of righteousness awe-inspiring, heavy sword without edge. Naturally, it was able to properly suppress Zhu Gaoxu's evil qi!
Second: Zhu Gaoxu endured humiliation and lived. Because not long after, when Zhu Zhanji came to visit him, he suddenly swept his legs and threw Zhu Zhanji "four or six unreliable." They all drove Zhu Zhanji mad and first suppressed him with a large copper ding. Zhu Gaoxu was still not convinced, and sheng sheng lifted up the copper ding.
Zhu Zhanji completely lost his mind, ordered zhu Gaoxu to be held in a copper ding, lit a fire around him, and roasted the King of Han to death. In this way, Zhu Gaoxu, a fierce man in history, eventually died of this strange "torture". To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of self-inflicted death.
