Zhu Yunjue, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, of the Han ethnicity, reigned from June 30, 1398 to July 13, 1402, the era name Jianwen, so he was later known as Emperor Jianwen, also known as Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunwen.
It is reasonable to say that the quality of an emperor has its own public opinion, and there are also historical records to rely on it.
However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really a mystery, and the crux of the mystery was that the "good uncle" Zhu Di, who had robbed him of the throne.
After Zhu Di came to power, he carried out a wanton purge of the official archives of the Jianwen Emperor, and almost at the same time began to re-outline and shape the image of Emperor Jianwen in official books and official histories, portraying him as a murderous, lustful and absurd, and even similar to the beasts of the Emperor, and the second emperor in history to be even worse than him.
However, when we read the description of Emperor Jianwen by unofficial people in the Ming Dynasty, we find that the situation is very different.
In the history of Yu Yuli, it is not difficult for us to see that Emperor Jianwen was not a "villain" described in the "Zhengshi" of the Ming Dynasty, but a good emperor who was very popular.
How Zhu Yunjiao became emperor, I will briefly say that after his father Zhu Biao died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to him.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still has many sons, and they are not saying that they are not convinced, how to say that they are also The elders of Zhu Yunjiao, right, if Zhu Yunjiao is honest and honest as the emperor, it is not safe to say.
But he had to engage in cutting the clan, and if he cut the clan, he would cut the clan, but the sentence "Don't kill my uncle" has made Zhu Di, the emperor of the ages, and we will talk about this matter below.
Zhu Yunjiao ascended the throne according to the etiquette of the kings of the clan to enter the capital, Zhu Di also went, but his nephew did not take any measures against him and let him back unscathed, which is simply a miracle.
Did Zhu Yunjiao want to fight with these uncles alone?
Zhu Yunjiao lost such a good opportunity. Practice has proven that this is the first and not the last.
And that's not all, Zhu Yunjiao took the throne in April, and May was the emperor's death day.
However, a few days after the end of the asahi, Zhu Di fell ill (the illness was really coincidental, and pretending to be ill was a common trick used by conspirators in the past, which showed that this person was in the city government).
After he returned to Beiping, he sent three sons to participate in his father's death day, is it enough to see Zhu Di's sincerity.
As soon as the three men entered the capital, The Defense Minister Shangshu Qitai wrote a letter to persuade Emperor Jianwen to take the three men hostage and use them to contain Zhu Di.
I think this trick really works, if you really arrest them, Zhu Di really rebelled, it is also a cut off, even if you succeed, then who will pass the throne to!
So I said that this strategy is a bit yin but still relatively good.
Emperor Jianwen also agreed, but Huang Zicheng did not agree.
The reason why Huang Zicheng disagreed was that he was afraid of hitting the grass and startling the snake, Huang Zicheng, Huang Zicheng, you are stupid, now even the street called Hanako knows that he is going to do something to Zhu Di.
I personally think that his suggestion is a bit of a contending (to be examined).
I have not liked this person since I watched the History of Ming. Since reading history, I know that some students have misled the country.
Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunjiao was uncertain about how to choose, and at this time a person came and said a few words.
This person was Xu Huizu (the son of Xu Da, the first general of the Founding General of the Ming Dynasty), who wrote that these three people should be detained.
What was his relationship with these three men? He was the uncle of these three men.
After he entered the speech, Emperor Jianwen did not adopt it, and later regretted saying: "Regret does not use the words of Huizu", why did he go here and now regret it.
This good strategy was later stolen by people, and Wu Sangui's son entered Beijing to count as an example.
After the three of them returned to Beiping, Zhu Di shouted happily, it was simply a dance of hands and feet, who was not happy, this can also be regarded as picking up three sons in vain.
Looking left and right, not only unscathed, it seems that it is much fatter (it seems that Nanjing's living standards are not bad).
In this way, it not only dispelled Zhu Di's worries but also made him firmly believe that he was a true Dragon Heavenly Son.
Another point is that in order to win time for rebellion, Zhu Di pretended to be crazy, that is, neuropathy, which was no different from the previous pretending to be sick, roughly as follows:
Speaking and singing in crowded places, wearing anti-seasonal clothes in public, not bathing all day with a mouth full of harrahs, and so on, basically that's it.
These few nonsense seem to be finished, and it is really embarrassing that the waste is a little long.
This time it really began. The above is the prerequisite for the success of this benevolent brother, and I have to say ah.
The real beginning was when Zhu Di raised an army, and Zhu Yunjiao sent the veteran general Geng Bingwen to confront him, which officially opened the curtain.
As I said earlier, in fact, Zhu Di's greatest help to him in the world was his nephew Zhu Yunjiao.
From Zhu Yunjiao's ascension to the throne to the he of the Fan Dynasty to sending three sons to participate in Zhu Yuanzhang's death day, which one after another was done well?
Moreover, when the veteran general Geng Bingwen went out on the expedition, he said to the veteran general with great affection: "When the old general and my emperor uncle fight against the army, we must not hurt my emperor's life."
To put it bluntly, I really want to be a bitch and want to build a chastity archway.
Maybe Zhu Yunjiao has his own ideas or is not understood by people, is he going to capture him alive and single him out? We don't know that, it's just our guess.
Zhu Di and Geng Bingwen went to war, the old general was defeated by Zhu Di, and later at zhengcunba, almost all the 500,000 people led by Li Jinglong were destroyed, and finally ended with Li Jinglong's complete defeat of Zhu Di's success.
Zhu Di took the initiative in the war and laid the foundation for victory.
The first point is the sentence that Zhu Yunjiao said when Geng Bingwen was about to go on the expedition: "Never hurt my uncle's life", this sentence made Zhu Di escape from death many times when his life was hanging in the balance, which was simply better than the danshu iron scroll.
The second point is that Brother Yuan Zhang's massacre of the hero Su will make Zhu Di enter the Central Plains as if he were in no man's land.
The third point is Zhu Di's own ability, after Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes, there should be almost no opponents who matched Zhu Di in that era, and he should be the best and most outstanding general of that era.
Because the other famous generals were killed.
Zhu Di walked to the main hall and looked down at the courtiers, and the feeling could not be expressed in words, thinking: Although you did not pass the throne to me, I am now the emperor myself and I have also received the throne. I will use my actual actions to prove that I am right, I will build the Ming Dynasty incomparably strong, spread my glory forever, I won, I won, I won completely, and now I am the strongest in this era.
Indeed, we have to say so.
It's time to give him an evaluation. Zhu Di was not a good man, but he was a good emperor. This evaluation can also make Zhu Di stunned, and he should also be satisfied with this evaluation given to him hundreds of years later.
Some people say that as long as you are successful, no one will care about the means and process of your success, but no matter what you do, someone will know, I said that history is fair, objective and selfless.
Personally, I believe that a person's success does not depend on the time and place, but on people, and only by grasping the opportunity can people soar.
Losing the throne due to the cutting of the domain was something that Emperor Jianwen had not expected beforehand. When Zhu Di, the King of Yan, captured Nanjing, the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen became the focus of attention.
The King of Yan raised an army in the name of "Qing Jun's Side", and everyone could see that he was going to seize the Jiangshan, so what kind of result would occur? People are speculating in their minds.
When Li Jinglong and King Gu opened the Jinchuan Gate, Zhu Di found that he could not find the shadow of Emperor Jianwen.
It is difficult to find a trace, what is the end of Emperor Jianwen, there are many opinions, and there is no consensus, which has become the first mystery case in the history of Ming.
Because Emperor Jianwen practiced leniency after Taizu's strict rule, his encounter aroused the sympathy of countless people, and his whereabouts were particularly curious, and people could see endless speculation and interpretation in various wild histories and dramas.
Self-immolation said.
According to the Records of Emperor Taizong, after King Yan entered the Jinchuan Gate, Emperor Jianwen also wanted to come out to greet King Yan, but he sighed to himself: "How can I see you?"
So he closed the palace with the empress and set himself on fire. Zhu Di saw the fire in the palace and hurriedly ordered someone to come to the rescue, but unfortunately there was no time.
Finding the charred corpse of Emperor Jianwen from the ashes, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, was overwhelmed with grief and wept bitterly, saying that he had only come to help the emperor learn goodness, so why should you seek your own death? Afterwards, Zhu Di prepared a ceremony to bury Emperor Jianwen, sent officials to make sacrifices, and quit the dynasty for three days. Scholars such as Meng Sen held the theory that Emperor Jianwen had set himself on fire.
Death said.
The reliability of the Records of Emperor Taizong was questioned, as Zhu Di had revised the Records of Taizu three times in order to beautify himself and find a grandiose reason for him to seize the throne.
The self-immolation of Emperor Jianwen recorded in the Records of Emperor Taizong has many people who are skeptical. Due to the political high pressure and tight literary network of the Yongle Dynasty, there is no record of the death of Emperor Jianwen.
After the Tianshun and Zhengde dynasties, the harsh political environment improved, and there were more historical materials about the death of Emperor Jianwen.
The legend of The Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao
It is said that after Zhu Yunjiao fled the capital, he was displaced, tried every means to evade pursuit, and then lived in seclusion in the Guanyin Cliff of the Meijiang River (also known as the Guanyin Cliff of Shaanxi City). Sincerely to the Buddha, throughout his life, the famous Cave of the Emperor of Tibet was also named.
When Zhu Yunjiao was the emperor's grandson, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once sent a "wind blowing a thousand lines of horsetails" to ask him and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to oppose him. Zhu Yunjiao said to him: "The rain hits a piece of wool. Zhu Di said to him, "Rizhao Dragon Scales Ten Thousand Points of Gold."
Zhu Dizhi was more satisfied with Taizu. From this, we can also see Zhu Yunjiao's cowardice, mediocrity and Zhu Di's ambition. After Taizu's death, the imperial family thought of some ways to consolidate Zhu Yunjiao's throne.
Later, Jiangshan was eventually acquired by Zhu Di. The couplet above became a proverb of the fate of the two.
It is said that Zhu Yunjiao hid his name in Meijiang, called himself a monk of Yingwen, and left many couplet poems. Among them, the description of the scenery of Guanyin Cliff is linked to "the peak is like a nest, and the cliff is like Wolong wen." “
In the long process of exile, Zhu Yunjiao has always spurred himself on with the story of the Jin Gongzi's heavy ears. Hopefully, there will be a comeback day.
But then he slowly discovered that Zhu Di's ability to manage the country was much stronger than his own, and he slowly dispelled this idea.
There is a combination as evidence: "There are dreams that are difficult to fulfill, and the earthly world is enchanted by the woodiness; There is no wind and it is easy to wake up, and the cave spring enlightenment is quiet.
"The light wind blows a calm heart, immersed in nature, no matter what imperial power and wealth, it is all a passing cloud."
Many years later, Zhu Yunjiao touched the scene and was injured, and Yong Lian said: "Home came from Gyeonggi, looking back at the Five Mountains and Emei, such mountains and rivers are under the heavens; After Emperor Yao Shun, he cherished the Qin Emperor Han Wu, such as my king Sun Kuang ancient and modern. This is not only a heartfelt praise for the beautiful scenery of the Meijiang River, but also a high summary of the bumpy fate of his life, and a true portrayal of the catharsis of helpless reality and the regret of ambition.
