Looking at the many feudal dynasties in China's ancient history, the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for 276 years, is definitely a dynasty full of legends. First of all, take the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, his life is already legendary enough. You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a monarch who really started from scratch among the emperors of previous dynasties.

Even if it is Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, the good villain is also a pavilion chief. A little more arduous, such as Liu Bei, the monarch of the Shu State during the Three Kingdoms period, no matter how bad the family is, he is also a mat weaver and a seller (that is, a straw shoe seller). On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a light rod commander when he started. Even, zhu Yuanzhang was forced to be a beggar, a monk, and other people at the bottom of society during the most difficult times. Therefore, it can be said that he was indeed a legend that he was able to ascend to the supreme Nine-Five.

And the legendary event of the Ming Dynasty that Xiaobian wants to talk to you about today happened to Zhu Yunjiao, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, which is the mystery of the traces of The Jianwen Emperor that we often talk about. According to records, in the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty (that is, in 1402), Zhu Di, the King of Yan, led an army to capture the Capital of the Ming Emperor Yingtian (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). It is said that after Zhu Di led his army into the palace at that time, the palace was already a vast sea of fire. Although, the fire was quickly extinguished by the army. However, what Zhu Di found from the palace were many corpses that had been scorched by fire.

Zhu Di, who did not find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen for a while, could be said to be very uneasy in his heart. After all, Zhu Yunjiao was alive and did not see people dead or corpses. At that time, zhu Di launched the Banner of the Battle of Jingnan, and nominally only had the reason of "Qing Jun's side". Therefore, according to the reason, when Zhu Di attacked Ying Tian and cleaned up the "Junfang", the throne should theoretically still be taken by Zhu Yunjiao.

However, Zhu Yunjiao suddenly evaporated from the palace out of thin air, which really surprised Zhu Di. After all, if Zhu Yunjiao died, it would be better to say. But if Emperor Jianwen hadn't died, he would have had to find him as soon as possible. Because, even if Zhu Yunjiao was not directly executed, he would have to be controlled first. After all, it was the emperor who was nominally orthodox. If he is allowed to go outside, it is very likely that he will summon many qin king's troops, which will inevitably lead to war.

Therefore, in order to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di sent 2 people and horses to find Zhu Yunjiao very early. These two roads also started in the form of one light and one dark and one water and one drought. Among them, the waterway faction is Zheng He, while the dry road faction is Hu Qian (ying).
Zheng He
Among these two people, the story of Zheng He's 7 voyages to the West is already well known. Moreover, after he went to sea 7 times, he was looking for Emperor Jianwen, and indeed every time he returned to no avail. On the other hand, Hu Qian, who took the dry road, was wholeheartedly searching for Zhu Yunjiao's whereabouts in China, which took a full 16 years to find.
Zheng He went to the West
So, did Hu Qian find Zhu Yunjiao's whereabouts? On this issue, many scholars have consulted a large number of literature in recent years before coming to such a conclusion. By 1423, Zhu Yunjiao had died at the age of 46 in Qionglongshan, Wu County, Jiangsu Province.
In fact, although there is no clear historical record of this incident, it is said that one day in 1423, Hu Qi once rode a horse back to Beijing. Moreover, as soon as he returned to the capital, he couldn't even take care of his home and went straight to the palace. Moreover, he also went to see Zhu Di in the middle of the night. At that time, Zhu Di was wearing pajamas and rushed to meet Hu Qian, and the two talked in detail until 4 a.m.
Of course, as for what Zhu Di and Hu Qian specifically talked about, no one but them knew. However, judging from Hu Qian's 100,000 fiery behavior, it is likely that he found zhu Yunjiao's whereabouts. Moreover, at that time, Zhu Yunjiao was very likely to be terminally ill, which also proved the claim that Zhu Yunjiao died in 1423.
It can be seen from this that the situation after Hu Hao entered the palace at that time was probably that after Zhu Di heard that Zhu Yunjiao's life was shortly over, he sighed and said: "Let him fend for himself!" "Okay, let's talk about this topic today. I don't know what other different views everyone has about the mystery of Emperor Jianwen's whereabouts? Let's talk about it.
