There are many mysteries in Chinese history, such as why Did Xi Shi disappear after the fall of the Wu kingdom, and whether she disappeared or died? The whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen are also a mystery, and the emperor is also quite difficult, his father died early, and his grandfather left a bunch of uncles like tigers and wolves and abandoned him. In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Yunjiao was the dominant side, he had a million soldiers and horses of the central imperial court, and a hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty. It is also located in the rich Jiangnan, there are rich people, how to see how to lose. His grandfather not only left a group of uncles, but also took away all the famous generals who could fight, not even a general who could compete with Zhu Di.
A bunch of nerds, plus a mild-mannered little emperor, the Confucians can't teach them how to quell the rebellion. Perhaps it is also Zhu Di's destiny, from him the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a prosperous world, replaced by Zhu Yunjiao may not have his courage. In June of the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di attacked Nanjing, and the palace suddenly caught fire. The fire left only a few charred corpses, which could not be recognized, and only the eunuch said that it was the emperor and empress and the eldest son. No one can be sure whether Zhu Yunjiao is dead or not, many people say that he is not dead, and there are many opinions about where to go for the rest of his life.
This was a relatively taboo problem in the Ming Dynasty, if he did not die, then Zhu Di's throne could not sit steadily. But Zhu Di did find out the whereabouts of Zhu Yunjiao after he ascended the throne, and this incident also put a mysterious veil on Zhu Yunjiao's whereabouts. In fact, even if the Ming Emperor was curious, he rarely asked about this matter, and Wanli was an exception, he was relatively small when he ascended the throne. Zhu Yijun was the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his birth has passed more than a hundred years since Zhu Di's death. When he was ten years old, in the sixth year of Longqing (1572), Emperor Mingmuzong died and Zhu Yijun ascended the throne.
Muzong originally left him with three auxiliary ministers, namely Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Yi, but unfortunately, the eunuchs Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng, and Empress Li did not like Gao Gong. And Gao Yi was frightened and died three days later, and the minister of Gu Order was left with only Zhang Juzheng, don't look at the later Wanli hated Zhang Juzheng. In fact, it is because of the depth of love, Wanli is his teacher, life, study, government affairs have given him great help. It can be said that Zhang Juzheng was once the person he most admired, and the relationship between the two was also extraordinary at that time. Speaking of Emperor Jianwen, during the teaching period, the little emperor naturally had questions to ask the teacher.
He also didn't know why he remembered Emperor Jianwen, and he was very curious about where Zhu Yunjiao had gone, so he simply asked. What he asked was whether it was true that he had heard that Emperor Jianwen had fled? In fact, it means to ask, Emperor Jianwen was killed by my ancestors? The little emperor could ask without hesitation, but Zhang Juzheng was not easy to answer, and no matter how good his relationship with the emperor was, he was only a minister. Zhu Di was the ancestor of Wanli, and the answer was to say that Zhu Di had come to the wrong place, or to say that Zhu Di had forced Emperor Jianwen to die.
He gave a very cautious answer, saying that the historical records did not record this matter, but there was a rumor that Jianwen cut his home and traveled in all directions. This remark is very technical, first of all, it is said that the historical records do not record this matter, but I heard a rumor. In a word, I left myself unaware of Zhu Yunjiao's whereabouts, and when a story was told to you, it was okay to listen to it. Using a supposedly told story to turn the story over, Zhang Juzheng is indeed smart and capable.
