Speaking of the degree of popularity of the imperial throne in history, it is estimated that everyone can think of the "Kowloon Conquest" incident during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. That bloody, that merciless, made people who saw it can't help but sweat. But then again, Kangxi's sons are not false, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the grassroots emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is not alone, he has raised twenty-six sons in his lifetime, how come when Crown Prince Zhu Biao reigned, no one jumped out to compete? It was a pity that Kangxi did not understand Zhu Yuanzhang's clever techniques, otherwise why would his sons be so miserable.
I. The implementation of the Ming Dynasty's establishment system
Zhu Biao is the crystallization of Zhu Yuanzhang's love with Empress Ma, the wife of the chaff and the first child of Zhu Yuanzhang. During the war years, people may have doubted the longevity of life, and when Zhu Biao was born, Zhu Yuanzhang could almost be described as ecstatic. Why? People have been lonely for most of their lives, and there are people who will be followed by them, even if they die in battle.
As the saying goes, a parent's love for his son will be far-reaching. Zhu Yuanzhangli had a successor, and he would have to flex all obstacles for his back road. With his insight and thoughts, how could he not know the fiery degree of the prince's position, so in order to maintain Zhu Biao's position as prince, the first thing he did was to create a decree: the system of primogeniture, that is, there is a concubine, and there is no concubine.
Don't think that Zhu Yuanzhang has no culture at a grassroots level, this decree of the people's system uses the foundation of Cheng Zhu's theory that people respect, so that it can not only balance the hearts and minds of the people, but also help persuade the people and officials. It is precisely because of this that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were influenced by the etiquette law, and even the future ming dynasty's throne was deeply affected by it.
Second, the blood cost vigorously builds the prince's true body
We say that Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely a man of understanding, and if zhu biao is made a prince, he wants everyone to see a prince who can be worthy of his duties, not a small sheep living under his father's wings. Zhu Yuanzhang chose Li Shanchang for Zhu Biao to serve as the prince's young master, while Xu Da was Zhu Biao's crown prince, Chang Yuchun was the prince Shaobao, and Feng Sheng was the crown prince Zhan Shi. This lineup is not strong enough for you to slowly read, anyway, the previous princes in history have not had such a strong team.
Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength to decentralize power, so that everyone can see it. In the historical records, there is such a record: When Zhu Biao was only twenty-two years old, Zhu Yuanzhang explicitly ordered him to "come to the crowd and listen to the notices of the various divisions in order to practice state politics." This is very incredible for an emperor, after all, the relationship between the prince and the emperor is so sensitive, and very few emperors will really delegate power to the prince during their reign.
There is another thing that must be mentioned, that is, the Blue Jade Massacre that everyone knows. Who is Sapphire? It was a dragon general who had the ability and responsibility to settle the country. How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know the ability of blue jade? However, as soon as the crown prince Zhu Biao died, he immediately disposed of this person.
Because he had arranged for Blue Jade to assist Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao was in Blue Jade, Zhu Biao was not there, Blue Jade and those heroes who were cursed were likely to disobey the new owner in the future, which was determined by the relationship between Zhu Biao and Blue Jade mo rebellion and the status of the monarch who had already formed. Such a capable person gave it to the prince, which shows how much zhu Yuanzhang has put into Zhu Biao's body, and the other brothers can see their father's attitude in Zhu Biao, how can they easily create a mistake?
Third, I have to say zhu biao himself
Of course, there is no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang has thought hard about the great future for the prince, but there is another key in this, that is, Zhu Biao's ability. If Zhu Biao is not a weapon, no matter how Much Zhu Yuanzhang pampers, how he loves, and how hard he works, it will be impossible to convince other princes.
In fact, Zhu Biao himself has received high-intensity Wenzhi martial arts tempering since he was a child, and he is definitely not a wine bag rice bag. People not only love to learn, but also smart and obedient, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang "very relieved". Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang went out to fight the chaos, Zhu Biao would stay in Kyoto to handle government affairs. It is said that all the courtiers in the dynasty were fanned by Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao could still do it without Zhu Yuanzhang being jealous, which was a kind of ability that others did not have.
Zhu Biao's good is still recorded in many historical materials, and many things that Zhu Biao wrote about his brothers and relatives asking for his life in the "History of Ming", such as the Kings of Qin and Jin at that time, were all negligent, causing Zhu Yuanzhang to be angry and want to deal with them according to the law. However, Zhu Biao stood on the position of being a brother and personally interceded for his brothers, and Zhu Yuanzhang let them go. All this shows that Zhu Biao is generous and benevolent, and will buy people's hearts with benevolence.
It turns out that during his reign, the younger brothers were very courteous to him. Imagine such a prince with strong backing and profound internal strength, who would recklessly compete with him?
