In December 2019, starring Tang Wei, Zhu Yawen and Zhang Yixing, zhang Ting's "Daming Style" appeared on major screens, suddenly detonating the year-end TV drama field, and also making the story of the disappearance of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di and Zhu Yunjiao once again on the cusp.
The disappearance of the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao has always been a historical mystery, and no one knows where he went, so many film and television works are based on zhu Yunjiao's disappearance. In 1398, a year after the death of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunjiao succeeded to the throne as "Jianwen Emperor" and became the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
During his four-year reign, he strengthened the role of civilian officials in the imperial court, and gave lenient sentences to provincial prisons, severely punished eunuchs for disorderly administration, and eliminated Zhu Yuanzhang's maladministration, which is known in history as the "New Deal of Jianwen". In 1402, Zhu Yunjiao's uncle Zhu Di, in the name of The Qing Emperor and Fengtian Jingnan, began the Battle of Jingnan, raised an army against Emperor Jianwen, and finally conquered Nanjing, but Zhu Yunjiao did not know where to go after the fire in the palace.
In 1402, Zhu Di succeeded to the throne and became Ming Chengzu,"Yongle". Ming Chengzu was also a famous monarch of a generation, and after he ascended to the throne, he continued to implement the policy of "cutting the domain", setting up the Second Factory of the East and West and the Jinyi Guard, and strengthening the centralization of power.
Tough on the outside world, strong suppression of internal rebellions, five pro-conquests of Mongolia, the establishment of central administrative organs in the border provinces to strengthen jurisdiction; in order to publicize national prestige, Zheng He was also sent to the West to promote commercial exchanges between Daming and the South China Sea; the compilation and revision of the Yongle Canon, which made great contributions to Chinese history; in order to develop and control the north, he also dredged the Grand Canal.
In the Ming Dynasty under his vigorous rule, the economy was developed, the national strength was strong, the international prestige was high, and the surrounding subservient subjects were no one could match for a time, and the history was called "Yongle Prosperous". Some people asked, if Zhu Yunjiao did not choose to set fire to himself at that time, but directly sat on the dragon chair of the palace and waited, then in the end, did Zhu Di dare to kill him?
In order to figure this out, let's first look at why Zhu Di wanted to attack Emperor Jianwen in the Battle of Jingnan. Not long after Zhu Yunjiao ascended the throne, his think tanks Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru strongly suggested cutting the domain, and the young Zhu Yunjiao followed suit. In ancient times, the purpose of weakening the power and power of the kings of the various clans was to strengthen the centralization of power, and once it was not done well, it would be like the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".
Zhu Yunjiao's harsh policy of cutting the domain was extremely severe, that is, the military power in their hands was taken away, and then reduced to civilians, exiled, and enjoyed the glory and wealth of the king of the domain can bear? Exiled and forced to die, Zhu Yu, the King of Zhou, Zhu Yu the King of Qi, Zhu Gui the Dai Wang, and Zhu Yu the Prince of Min were all persecuted. Next, it was to deal with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who supported the army and respected himself.
Emperor Jianwen had Zhu Di hand over the Three Guards of Beiping at the beginning, and his men took over, and he honestly handed them over. Later, in order to control Zhu Di, he asked Zhu Di to send his son to Nanjing as a hostage, and he did it. Finally, he issued an order to ask Zhu Di to go to Nanjing, and he knew that he would definitely not come back, so he resigned.
In 1399, Emperor Jianwen's chancellor Qi Tai prepared to arrest Zhu Di for treason. Zhu Di knew that compromise was useless, in order to eliminate the traitors around Zhu Yunjiao, on the grounds of zhengchaogang, launched the Battle of Jingnan, pushed all the way, gathered the army, and entered the imperial palace, Zhu Yunjiao knew that the cutting of the domain was too severe, and could not end well, so he set fire to the palace and disappeared into history.
In fact, Zhu Di never intended to kill Zhu Yunjiao, if he had not self-immolated, Zhu Di would have imprisoned him for a lifetime at most, after all, the two were uncles and nephews, and killing Zhu Yunjiao would not be conducive to himself as emperor. Because judging from his obedience and conquest documents, he only wanted to survive and did not aim to overthrow the Jianwen Dynasty. Therefore, don't do things too much, and it is not good to save yourself from making people angry.
