1. Events that cannot be replicated
People say that Zhu Di's "Battle of Jing" cannot be copied at all. Because not only is the difficulty coefficient too high, but it is also full of various accidental factors. For example, in the "Battle of Baigou River", seeing that Li Jinglong was about to destroy Zhu Di, he suddenly blew up a whirlwind, "folding the flag of the great general, and the southern army moved."
That is to say, this whirlwind that fell from the sky broke the flag and blew Li Jinglong's army unable to stand firmly, so that the formation had loopholes. In desperation, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and immediately seized this heavenly opportunity, went around behind Li Jinglong, set off a fire, and took advantage of the situation to beat Li Jinglong to a crushing defeat.
Dare to ask this kind of battle with the help of God, who can pat his chest and say that it can be copied? Not even Zhuge Liang! Therefore, we can only sigh helplessly: plotting is in the sky! Zhuge Liang's lament in the upper valley was not sadness, but "helpless despair." Zhu Di was obviously like the "Chosen Son".
In 1457, the Ming Dynasty ushered in another "unrepeatable" event, which was the "change of the door" of Zhu Qizhen. A military general Shi Heng, a half-immortal civilian official Xu Youzhen, plus a eunuch Cao Jixiang, a combination of three people, with a small number of people and horses, actually successfully changed the emperor!
Although this matter sounds very mysterious at first, if you look deeply into it, you have to sigh that "planning is in the sky." If you want to really understand all this, you have to start with the defeat of Zhu Qizhen's army at Tumu Fort.
2. Empress Sun's transactions
After Zhu Qizhen was captured alive by Vala, who would succeed him as emperor? There are three opinions on the court.
In the first, Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen became emperor. However, it was quickly rejected, Zhu Mishen was just 10 years old, a child, how to deal with this complicated situation?
The second is to establish daming as the "first spare tire", and the emperor's uncle Zhu Zhanyuan is the emperor. It's also fun to talk about this Zhu Zhanyuan. He is Zhu Gaozi's younger brother. After Zhu Gaozi's death, because Zhu Zhanji was in Nanjing, he had acted as emperor for several days, and as soon as Zhu Zhanji came, he hurriedly handed over power.
Later, Zhu Zhanji died of illness, when Zhu Qizhen was only 8 years old, and some people remembered him and wanted to support him as emperor, and naturally he was rejected again. Now when Zhu Qizhen was captured alive by Vala, Zhu Zhanyuan was nominated again... Therefore, Zhu Zhanyuan can be called the spare tire of the first emperor of daming.
At that time, Empress Sun was inclined to Zhu Zhanyuan and had announced his entry into Beijing. Frightened enough, After thinking about it, he wrote back to Empress Sun and said: Please, let me be a quiet beautiful man, I am not interested in the throne. Fortunately, Zhu Zhanyuan was sober and did not enter the capital according to the edict, because when his reply was still halfway through, there was a change in the capital, and the third candidate ascended the throne.
The third is Zhu Qiyu. The reason why Empress Sun initially chose the emperor's uncle Zhu Zhanyuan was that she was afraid that once Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, she would not be able to play with the empress. After all, Zhu Qiyu's birth mother was Concubine Wu.
So why did Empress Sun suddenly agree again? Because there is an additional condition, that is, Zhu Qiyu is the emperor, and her eldest grandson, Zhu Qizhen's own son Zhu Jianshen, must be the crown prince!
Therefore, although Zhu Qiyu eventually ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhu Jianshen (Emperor Mingxianzong) was the crown prince, which was a deal between Empress Sun and Zhu Qiyu and his Manchu ministers of culture and military affairs. Of course, no one can blame Empress Sun, but can only say: For the emperor, family affairs and state affairs can never be separated, and how to achieve a balance between the two is the key!
Third, the balance is broken
Balance is always dynamic. The reason why Zhu Qiyu accepted this "half emperor" was because he had no choice at that time, and state affairs (Daming's life and death) overwhelmed family affairs (other people's sons became princes)!
With Yu Qian's defeat of Wallachia, he won the battle to defend Beijing. Zhu Qiyu's position has also been consolidated and strengthened. After all, this can be described as a great merit of "reshaping Daming", why should Zhu Qiyu still be "half an emperor"? So Zhu Qiyu made a move.
In order to make his son Zhu Jianji crown prince, he used any tricks, such as "bribing the chancellor". Also, the return of Zhu Qizhen is almost a rogue".
At this moment, Empress Sun has lost her prestige and role. The so-called mother is precious to her son, if it is her own son, she dares to sneak to the harem and point to her nose and scold. But Zhu Qiyu is the son of someone else's family, and his mother is still alive, if he comes forward as the empress dowager, he will be looking for death - the ancestral system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang is like iron, and the harem is strictly forbidden to interfere in politics!
In this way, the balance was broken, and neither Yu Qian nor other ministers could resist Zhu Qiyu's almost rogue". You can not eat this set of Yu Qian, but what about other ministers? One heavenly son and one courtier! It's an iron law!
Zhu Qiyu finally became the complete emperor, and his son successfully became the crown prince. So in exchange: Zhu Qizhen, who was captured alive by Wa La, also returned and was arranged to be the Emperor Taishang in the Nangong!
Just when everyone thinks that this time Daming should stop and return to normal. But unexpectedly, zhu Qiyu's only son, the current prince of Daming, Zhu Jianji, fell ill and died - the balance was once again broken, and this time it was "God".
4. What is Yu Qian doing?
Children always meant hope, so when Zhu Jianji died of illness, all of Zhu Qiyu's hopes were shattered. Is this Daming still related to him? This is the problem he must face. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu quickly fell from Ming jun to "dusk jun" who was drunk and dreamed of death.
In order to regenerate his son, Zhu Qiyu summoned Li Xi'er, who was a "local prostitute", into the palace. (Records of Emperor Ming Yingzong :( Li) Xi'er taught himself to be a servant) At the same time, he assisted in the use of Dan Medicine. It is conceivable that Zhu Qiyu in this state can live for a long time.
Sure enough, Zhu Qiyu was terminally ill, but the position of crown prince was still undecided, and the ministers led by Yu Qian were anxious and began to urge Zhu Qiyu to quickly determine the successor in various ways. At this moment, three more opinions have emerged.
The first one: the first spare tire of Daming, the emperor's uncle Zhu Zhanyuan was remembered again. Uncle Huang is going crazy, who do I recruit to mess with whom? Why is it so hard to be a quiet beautiful man! Fortunately, it was quickly rejected, because the vast majority of people, who were inclined to sit on the throne, must be the descendants of Zhu Zhanji!
This should praise Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Zhanji's father and son, including Yu Qian, many of the Great Ming courtiers, who were promoted by them, and naturally they must speak up for these fathers and sons no matter what.
The second kind: choose Zhu Jianshen! It turned out that he had been a prince, and it was no problem to be re-elected, right? Yes! Because his father, Zhu Qizhen, was still the Emperor in the Southern Palace. What to do with his dad? Thus, a third opinion arises.
The third kind: it is very simple, that is, let Zhu Qizhen become the emperor again!
Today, the focus of the debate has become whether to see Zhu Jianshen or Zhu Qizhen. So Yu Qian's presidency decided that it was too late today, and early in the morning, we would present this recital.
The meaning of the recital is: Don't care who succeeds to the throne, as long as it is a descendant of Zhu Zhanji's concubine, this is the attitude of all the courtiers! (History of Ming: Son of His Majesty (Zhu Qiyu) Emperor Xuanzongzhang, descendant of Emperor Lizhang (Zhu Zhanji).) ）
Unexpectedly, on the night of the same day, the "change of the door" occurred... Zhu Qizhen returned in this "usurpation" manner! So, when the door was changed, what was Yu Qian doing? It was all sad, he was still worried about Zhu Qizhen.
Because after Zhu Qizhen was restored, he killed Yu Qian - the world was wronged, how the world was not wronged...
