Zhu Di was a fierce man, and among the countless emperors of ancient China, there was no one else besides Zhu Di who led troops to defeat his nephew in peacetime and then became emperor himself. Zhu Di's rebellion was due to Zhu Yunjiao's cutting of the domain and "too hasty", which was related to his youth and vigor. So if it was Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Old Zhu, who initiated the cutting of the domain, would Zhu Di still launch the "Battle of Jingnan" to rebel?
???
Zhu Biao was a very tragic figure, he was made crown prince early, Zhu Yuanzhang has always regarded him as the only successor, in Zhu Di's body, Zhu Yuanzhang pinned his hopes on the future of the Ming Empire. However, the heavens did not go according to people's wishes, and Zhu Biao, who had been emperor for half a lifetime, did not survive to the position of emperor, but died first.
In history, Zhu Biao was a completely different person from his father, Zhu Biao was kind and gentle. He was humble and peaceful to the people around him, and when Zhu Yuanzhang wantonly killed the chancellor, he repeatedly persuaded his father to practice "a government of leniency and ease". In the case of the people of the Manchu Dynasty who were afraid of everyone's self-danger, someone was able to intercede for the ministers, which made Zhu Biao's status in everyone's hearts more and more noble, and also won Zhu Biao the reputation of generosity and benevolence.
If he does not die, then no one can stop him from succeeding to the throne, and it is also the desire of the people. With this, Zhu Di's reasons for rebellion were reduced by more than half. So if Zhu Biao became emperor, would he also cut the domain like Emperor Jianwen?
In my opinion, even if Zhu Biao is generous and benevolent, after he becomes emperor, he will still cut the domain. First of all, the method of dividing the feudal kings to guard the frontier could not last long, the Ming Dynasty had just established the state, the remaining Mongol forces in the north were still waiting for the opportunity, and the surrounding countries looked at the nascent empire coldly. The Country was in ruins, and the Ming Empire at this time needed a stable border to develop domestic production. At this time, the role played by the king of the clan was very important, and the king of the border had a large army in his hands and could meet the enemy at any time. And the kings of the clan are all Zhu Yuanzhang's own sons, so there is no need to worry that someone will be like Zhao Kuangyin, who will not say a word to a 'Chen Qiao mutiny, yellow robe plus body'". After all, they are all their own people!
However, as the Ming Empire grew stronger and stronger, when the stability of the frontier was no longer a problem, the existence of the king of the clan was somewhat embarrassing, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the relationship with the king of the clan was gradually estranged, and there was no longer a need for a large army to stabilize the frontier, at this time it was inevitable to cut the clan. Even if the loyal and honest Zhu Biao succeeded to the throne, he would not tolerate the king of the clan with heavy troops.
However, unlike Emperor Jianwen's youthful vigor, Zhu Biao's slashing of the domain should be gentler, and may adopt the same method as Liu Che's "Tui En Ling", while under the warm boiled frog style of cutting the domain, Zhu Di's mentality will be much different, so it is not that Zhu Di will not raise an army, but the possibility of launching the "Battle of Jingnan" will be much smaller.
