In history, Zhu Zhanji was not only versatile, but also complete in both literature and martial arts, loved to paint, play with cockroaches, and at the same time playing with guns and practicing arrows was also his hobby, Xuande ten years, is the world's peace of the ten years, but he finally died young, only lived 38 years old.

Talking about Zhu Zhanji in "Daming Fenghua", many people attribute his lack of longevity to the violation of his oath, because he made two vows before his death, which were not fulfilled, once Zhu Di asked the four sons of the Zhu family to swear together, and they could no longer stain the blood of their brothers in the future. Another time was when Zhu Zhanji swore in front of Ruowei's adoptive father that he would not let Ruowei suffer any grievances in the future, but when he selected the draft girl, he still gave Ruyi to Hu Shanxiang, indicating that in his heart, power was more important than Ruowei.
Zhu Zhanji is happy, his first 20 years, his grandfather and father are alive, he can enjoy a carefree childhood and youth, no need to worry about the major affairs of the country, he knows that he will be the same as his grandfather and father in the future, when he is an emperor, for an emperor, it is the biggest thing to be able to flow through the annals of history, and his grandfather has become a thief who will never recover because of rebellion, this is the knot in his life, Zhu Zhanji does not want to take the old road of his grandfather.
At first, he looked down on his father, thinking that his father was only a promise all day long, lacking a little decisive and brave spirit, until he was sent to Nanjing to study by his father Zhu Gaozi, he repented, it turned out that his father was a really powerful person, experienced a soldier who did not fight and surrendered, he decided to be an emperor like his father, ruling the government and being a benevolent king.
But after all, it is not so easy to be a benevolent king, it needs the peace of the world, and it needs brotherly affection, which he desires but does not desire, so he is not willing to trust the second uncle and the third uncle and his henchmen like his father, and he is not willing to kill decisively like his grandfather, he does not care about the name of the future generation, he wants to have the best of both worlds and take advantage of his father and his grandfather. This was the source of his final defeat.
The King of Han had long seen through his demons, so everything did not allow him to be as he wished, the eldest nephew wanted to be a benevolent king, I could not rebel, and I could not complete you, so the King of Han repeatedly forced Zhu Zhanji to kill him, the purpose was to let him leave a bad reputation under the history books, at first Zhu Zhanji tolerated it in a thousand ways, helplessly the second uncle had to advance, and finally Zhu Zhanji still stained the blood of blood relatives, brutally killed the second uncle, and sat on the real name of the tyrant.
The empress's betrayal and her own oath was the last straw that crushed Zhu Zhanji, he could not face himself squarely, closed himself up, did not eat or drink for 11 days, tolerated all kinds of hardships, and finally went to waste, he and the grandfather who dreamed back in the middle of the night and could not face his parents, in front of the spirit of his grandfather and father, he could not let go for a long time. He knew that the history was merciless.
After that, although Zhu Zhanji still extended his life for a few years, he has been tormented by heart demons, and now he is depressed, many people do not understand, the battle has been won, the world has been too peaceful, at this time there are two sons, and his beloved Sun Ruowei, why does he still think about it?
It is that you think that everything has become better, all suffering has passed, all ambitions can be slowly realized, and as a result, people's spirits have collapsed, in fact, Zhu Zhanji's mentality collapsed when he killed the second uncle, but it lasted until the end. He himself was a very self-respecting and extremely sensitive person, and he could neither be as benevolent as his father nor kill decisively like his grandfather, so he would die young.
