Zhu Ming is the last glory of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang won the Nine Dragon Throne as a mortal, and left behind countless enigmatic stories, because most of the Ming history known today is from the hands of the Qing people, too much smear also makes people unable to see the truth, but folklore and wild history often become another channel to discover the truth, most of the Ming Dynasty princes do not live long, do you know why?
Daming enjoyed the country of 277 years old, lasted 16 emperors, a little statistics can be found that the Ming Dynasty with the primogeniture system as the basis of the unification, there are many emperors who have a very miserable ending, Zhu Yuanzhang in Jinling called the empress, Zhu Biao as the crown prince, but unfortunately this gentle imperial eldest son did not live past his father, Yu Hongwu died of illness in 25 years.
The Ming Dynasty records that "Zhu Biao died of illness in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu and did not ascend the throne, prince Yiwen of Yiwen. The harsh Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for his son, so he appointed Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunjiao as the heir to the throne, but he did not expect that behind him, the young emperor would lose his luck in a few years.
Due to the wrong strategy of cutting the domain, the King of Yan rebelled and invaded Nanjing, and the Battle of Jingnan caused Zhu Yunwen to disappear into the sea of fire, and the Yongle Emperor did not get any better, although he sent people to the West seven times, waved his troops to Mobei five times, and moved the capital to Beijing, practicing the great political ambitions of the Son of Heaven to guard the gate of the country and the death of the king, but his son Emperor Renzong died in office less than a year after succeeding to the throne.
The biography of Ming Shiwan Guifei records: "The Imperial Family of Ye Ting was fortunate to have a body, and countless people were injured by drinking medicine. The birth of Emperor Xiaozong, the top inch xu hairless, or the medicine house also". During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, Princess Wan Guifei controlled the harem, and in order to compete for favors, she persecuted all the palace women and concubines who were pregnant with dragon fetuses, so that no prince was born for a period of time, and Emperor Xiaozong was eventually born and inherited the throne, all of which were the credit of the joint protection of eunuchs and palace women, but Emperor Xiaozong's life was not long, and he traveled west at the age of 36, and his son Zhu Houzhao was weaker than his father, died at the age of 31, and had no heirs under his knees.
Guangzong Zhu Changluo, as the eldest son of the emperor, died violently in the dragon chair a month after the emperor's reign, which became a suspenseful case, and the later Emperor of the Apocalypse was even more miserable, he had three sons, two did not survive, and the last one was frightened and died in the Apocalypse Explosion, when he was less than one year old.
All this seems to have cast a mysterious and frightening blood curse on the royal heirs of Daming, so that the masters often say that most of the eldest sons born to the empress of Ming Zhenggong are unlucky, so is the rise and fall of a dynasty really directly related to the feng shui life number? Two discussions are noteworthy.
First, after Zhu Yuanzhang swept away many peasant armies in the south, Yu Jinling declared himself emperor. He began to build the imperial palace, but because most of the dynasties who built the capital in Nanjing were short-lived, he did not choose the vicinity of the Daxing Palace, but ordered the address of the palace to be set at Yanque Lake. Later, part of Nanjing's capital was actually built by filling in the lake, the terrain of that place was somewhat high and low, Liu Bowen had a keen eye to see through the 500 years before and after, when he heard about it, he was surprised, because feng shui was not good for the descendants of the Zhu family.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang took remedial measures, and even once wanted to move the capital to Fengyang, in addition to building a mausoleum in Fengyang, he also asked for the construction of a royal palace, so that the expenditure was huge, and the builders at that time were miserable, cutting corners, which doomed the tofu slag project to meet the needs of feng shui.
Second, the struggle between the princes caused by the family heritage is fierce, Zhu Yuanzhang was born a commoner, originally there is no big family style and background, it is easy to see the difference by comparing Zhu Ming and Zhao Song, Zhao Kuangyin was born in a high gate, grew up in a small military region, and had aristocratic feelings, so throughout the Song Dynasty, the emperor's humanistic concern for his people and subjects was consistent, and the Song Dynasty did not kill readers, and even the descendants of the Chai clan who seized the Jiangshan should also be treated kindly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was fierce and fierce, and in his early years he experienced a career of killing and decline, this family gene has been passed on to his descendants, and as soon as others died, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, immediately rebelled, without thinking of his uncle and nephew, so that the descendants had the same kind of learning.
Most of the princes of the Ming Dynasty are content with pleasure, there are not many who study seriously, and the future Generations of the Qing Princes are even more incomparable, the voice of the Ming Dynasty's palace fighting is not endless, in the cruel struggle for imperial power, the emperor's eldest sons of course bear the brunt of it, all of which are related to the underlying genes brought by Zhu Yuanzhang to his descendants.
