On May 17, 1392, Zhu Biao, the reserve prince of the Ming Dynasty, died at the age of 37! Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a father, was devastated after learning this news, and Zhu Biao's death not only caused Zhu Yuanzhang to lose a son, but also lost a talent who gave himself a lot of hope; at the same time, it also disrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's original plan for the future of Daming!
However, people cannot be resurrected from the dead, and the living must continue to move forward; so after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang re-designed the blueprint for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty! The first step is to re-establish the new crown prince of the country, in this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose from his other sons, but chose Zhu Yunjiao, the son of the crown prince, as the new crown prince of the country!
After making Zhu Yunjiao crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to eliminate the founding heroes in order to make him better govern the country in the future, especially in 1393, when he eliminated the Great Ming general Lan Yu. Logically speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang has already paved the way for the succession of the emperor's grandson, and Zhu Yunjiao, the emperor, should be very smooth! Why did Zhu Yunjiao lose Jiangshan in the end?
First, it was because of Zhu Yuanzhang's defeat!
After Zhu Yuanzhang established Daming, his design blueprint was very clear, that is, to vigorously eliminate the founding heroes and reclaim their rights. In his lifetime, he was able to take away the heroes he brought out together, leaving no trouble for the later emperors, so that the later emperors could govern the country with peace of mind, and not be threatened by any founding heroes who were proud of their achievements!
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was very good, but there was an accident in the middle, and the crown prince Zhu Biao passed away in his prime, which disrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's blueprint! Zhu Yuanzhang's design was to get rid of the founding heroes under the premise of the succession of the crown prince Zhu Biao, and then let his other sons go to various places to control the local power as the king of the domain, and Zhu Biao controlled the central government! Under Zhu Biao's prestige, he would definitely be able to suppress his brothers who were kings everywhere!
It's just that Zhu Biao is dead, and the future plan designed by Zhu Yuanzhang makes Zhu Yunjiao, who is still in a shallow qualification, unable to suppress his uncles who have territorial and military power everywhere!
Second, Zhu Yunjiao is anxious to eat hot tofu!
In 1398, the 21-year-old Zhu Yunjiao ascended the throne as emperor, and after the young emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to do a big vote as soon as he struck, eliminating the actual military rights of the local feudal kings! What was even more infuriating was that his subordinate Qi Tai even suggested to Zhu Yunjiao that if he wanted to do it, he should move the most powerful first (at that time, the most powerful of the kings of the various clans was the King of Beijing Yan), Zhu Yunjiao listened to Qi Tai's advice and took the lead in taking his fourth uncle, the King of Yan, this year was only the second year of Zhu Yunjiao's ascension to the throne!
In fact, Zhu Yunjiao's practice of cutting the domain as soon as he became emperor really did not understand! Zhu Di stayed in Beiping for 20 years, you a hairy boy who has just become the emperor, you took your uncle to open the knife, it is really a bit arrogant! Zhu Di has been rooted in Beijing for 20 years, why did you become emperor for one year to bring him down? Just by virtue of the fact that you Zhu Yunjiao has the title of emperor?
It can be said that his father Zhu Biao is still alive, and when he becomes emperor, he does not dare to cut the domain in the first year of the emperor' reign, and he will do something to his brother!
epilogue:
The biggest reason why Zhu Yunjue lost his own Jiangshan was that he was too hasty to cut the domain, the emperor who had just become the emperor and cut his own uncle in the first year, he was still the first person in ancient and modern times!
