Why did Zhu Yuanzhang not pass on the throne to Zhu Di, but to his grandson Zhu Yunjiao? It turned out that Zhu Di was impossible
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there is a successful case of the rebellion of the only king of the clan in history, this is Zhu Di's "Battle of Jing", and Zhu Yunjiao is also embarrassed to become this loser, many people think that this Zhu Di is the most similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's son, after Zhu Biao's death, how come he did not consider this son who most resembled him, but chose Zhu Yunjiao? If Zhu Di had been chosen directly, perhaps his grandson Zhu Yunjiao would not have been missing.
On April 25, 25, Hongwu died of illness at the age of 39. Zhu Biao is Zhu Yuanzhang's carefully cultivated successor, he was born at the time when Zhu Yuanzhang fought the world, witnessed his step-by-step process of becoming emperor, and this time Zhu Yuanzhang was already 64 years old, naturally very sad, because this is his most optimistic son, but since Zhu Biao died, he always had to choose an heir, but Zhu Yuanzhang skipped these sons, but chose Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunjiao, that is, his grandson inherited the throne, so if Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose his grandson, but considered his son, Is this Zhu Di ten to eight stable?
In fact, according to the inheritance principle of "the father dies and the son succeeds, there is a concubine and no concubine", among Zhu Yuanzhang's many living sons, the one who should be the most suitable for the crown prince should also be Zhu Zhu, the king of Qin, not Zhu Di, because his brother Zhu Zhu, the king of Qin, and Zhu Tang, the king of Jin, are all in the world, how can it not be his turn, and since the day Zhu Di was born, this Zhu Di has not been cultivated as an heir, and Zhu Di is a military general, so in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, at least he has not found that this son has any ability to govern the country.
Moreover, in order to ensure that Zhu Yunjiao could succeed to the throne smoothly, after Zhu Yuanzhang established Zhu Yunjiao as the heir to the throne, his preparation work was still relatively in place, killing those who should be killed, exiled and exiled, and beating up the kings of various domains by the way. Moreover, the king of the clan recorded in the "History of Ming" was "a lord but not a people, and a division of the domain without tin soil", Zhu Yuanzhang learned the lessons of Liu Bang and Sima Yan feng wang Jianfan, and while giving the king of the clan military power, he also implemented a strict management system for the king of the clan to avoid the tragedy of the same roommate. That is to say, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's design, this Zhu Yunjiao naturally will not let the clan kings succeed, and in fact, when Zhu Yunjiao first cut the clan, these princes really did not have the strength to rebel, that is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang's clan king system is very reasonable, that is, when Zhu Di is preparing to raise an army, he is also looking forward and backward, and he does not dare to make up his mind, which means that this Zhu Di also has no confidence, and the problem is that Zhu Yunjiao himself, if he can be more decisive, maybe Zhu Di really will not succeed.
