It can be said that it is not uncommon for successive dynasties to compete for the throne, li shimin of the Tang Dynasty seized the throne by killing his brother, and blood splashed Xuanwumen; the nine sons of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty seized the concubine, and several princes were imprisoned and died, and the tragedy of fratricide was inevitable. However, during the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang period, although the old Zhu Lord also had more than twenty princes, a large number, but during the reign of the crown prince Zhu Biao, there were no incidents of other princes vying for the position of prince.

According to the analysis of Xiaobian, there are two main reasons:
First, Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang loved Zhu Biao, and some people even said that even if Zhu Biao led a rebellion, Old Zhu would open the city gate to welcome him. In order to make the crown prince smoothly ascend the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang has long created a leadership team for Zhu Biao, and in history, the emperor and the prince have a team of teams, which should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are unique. So at that time, the prince had blue jade on the left and Mu Ying on the right, followed by the Three Tigers of the Chang family, and some people thought that it was not that other princes did not want to fight for the prince, but that the configuration of the prince's staff was simply to share resources with Zhu Yuanzhang, which was really too bad to provoke, do you say yes? From this point of view, Zhu Biao is the most powerful prince in history.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's favor for Zhu Biao was also reflected in the fact that after Zhu Biao's death, Old Zhu directly skipped over a number of his sons, among which the old fourth Zhu Di, who had extraordinary ability, chose Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunjiao as his successor, which was also relatively rare.
Second, Crown Prince Zhu Biao is a benevolent man and has a deep brotherly feeling.
Zhu Biao has always been known for his benevolence in history, and he is very protective of several brothers, such as the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and others who make mistakes, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to punish them severely, but they all reduce the punishment because of Zhu Biao's intercession, so in the hearts of the brothers, Zhu Biao is a big brother who loves his brothers and has great prestige in the hearts of his brothers.

In addition to his brotherly affection, Zhu Biao's leniency and leniency also won him the respect of many Korean and Chinese ministers. Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang was violent in his later years and brutally killed many heroes of the old ministry, and one of the most famous is the Blue Jade case, in which the number of people killed reached tens of thousands. The relationship between the central figure in this case, Lan Yu and Zhu Biao, is very good, originally Zhu Yuanzhang was training him to assist Zhu Biao, and Lan Yu is a person with good ability and controls the world's soldiers and horses, which shows that Old Zhu uses him heavily. With the departure of Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunjiao's aura was obviously insufficient, and Lan Yu's personality was a bit arrogant, in short, Zhu Yunjiao was difficult to control, so Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Lan Yu would become a threat to the imperial power, so he simply got rid of him.

In fact, xiaobian thought that Zhu Biao was not only benevolent, he was also very talented, and it was said that even Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers were very impressed with him, which showed that his ability was quite outstanding. If it is said that only benevolence and righteousness are enough, then the dispute between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng during the Tang Dynasty was not only because Li Jiancheng's benevolence and righteousness were able to seize the world. What do you think, officials?
The world knows that Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was talented and created the Yongle prosperous world, but Zhu Biao's ability was actually far above Zhu Di, and he was virtuous and talented. Zhu Biao was born in the turbulent era of war, was able to write and fight, and participated in many of the wars in which Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the strength of the team, it is said that a blue jade around Zhu Biao is enough to beat Zhu Di down, so when Zhu Biao was alive, there was no Zhu Di or anything, but the jealous talent Zhu Biao died of illness early, so this gave Zhu Di the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang had more than twenty sons, the number was comparable to that of the Kangxi period, but Zhu Biao's position as the crown prince was still as stable as Mount Tai, and it was really impossible to grab!
Although the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was only from the grassroots, the Ming Dynasty was also a very long-lived dynasty after 276 years of ups and downs. Therefore, some people think that Zhu Yuanzhang can be called the most powerful emperor, and the beginning is just a bowl to sit on the emperor of the world. Compared with Liu Bang's civil servant origin and Li Yuan's status as a relative and nobleman, they are not the same.

Foolishly, I think that this also has a lot to do with Lao Zhu's founding ancestral precepts: three hundred years of the national dynasty, no Han and relatives, Tang alliances, Song Zhi na years of thin coins, no brothers and enemies of the country, no subjects, no tribute, no land cut, no indemnity. The Son of Heaven guards the gates of the kingdom, and the King dies. From this point of view, the Ming Dynasty has always been praised by people, which can be called very dignified, and it is also the fine inheritance of our Chinese nation. Therefore, looking at the Ming Dynasty, although there was a phenomenon of eunuchs chaotic government, they were still very united as a whole. In addition to Zhu Biao's position as crown prince was very stable, the 10th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Mingwuzong Zhu Houzhao, was also very lucky, the eldest son of Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Zhang, and his brother died early, so his throne was also stable as Mount Tai.
