On May 26, 1447, the 12th year of the reign of the Emperor, Zhu Shiyuan, the grandson of the Dai Dynasty, went to the imperial court, saying that his fifth uncle, Zhu Xunyi, the Prince of Xiangyuan, was sad after sending his grandfather King Daijian to the land for an annunciation, and offered to keep filial piety in front of the tomb for a hundred days, asking His Majesty the Emperor for permission.
The traditional virtue of "filial piety" of the Chinese nation was the highest moral standard in ancient times, not only the parents must fulfill filial piety before they die, but also must abide by it after death. That is, after the death of a parent and other close relatives, they must live in mourning and filial piety for twenty-seven months, during which time, except for basic food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, the rest of the activities need to be stopped, and they must not build large-scale construction, feast and entertainment, let alone marry or take the examination. If they are incumbent officials, unless they are deprived of their feelings, they must return to their hometowns to guard the system. My classmates, who liked to sleep in class, were described by Confucius as "rotten wood cannot be carved, and the walls of dung and soil cannot be polluted", and a large part of the reason is probably because he opposed the system.

According to the standard of observance, during the period of mourning, it is necessary to settle down and eat, live and sleep in front of the graves of parents. But after all, life in the wild is inconvenient, it is a test of spirit and physical fitness, really according to the standard, do not wait for the end of the funeral, the two sides will meet in Huangquan. Therefore, in the later period, the system of observance was artificially simplified, and basically the filial piety for parents was completed by staying at home instead of the knot. Even so, people still have considerable admiration for the filial piety and grandchildren who are willing to tie up the system in front of the tomb, and Zigong has become a beautiful talk for kong fuzi for six years.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Han Dynasty, filial piety could even become a shortcut to entering the throne — by raising filial piety to become an official. It is precisely because "filial piety" has such an important significance that since ancient times, there have been great wisdom in keeping the system. Wang Rong, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, single-handedly created the allusion of "Wang Rong's Death and Filial Piety".
So is Zhu Xunyi also putting on a show like Wang Rong? Not to mention, he is a clan member, it is impossible to make a difference in politics, he is the fifth oldest among his brothers, there are four brothers and their family members on the pressure, the chance of promotion to the acting king is very small, the first lord of Xiangyuan is basically the peak of his life, there is no need for this at all. In February of the first year of Jingtai (1450), Zhang Bin, a professor at the Xiangyuan Palace, wrote a letter to show that his filial piety was solid:
"He died, Professor Zhang Bin of xiangyuan wang of the daifu: 'Wang Shi's father daijian wang and his mother concubine Zhixiao. Near the Jane King's disease, the King's attendant Soup medicine clothes do not dissolve. And the slurry, the water slurry does not enter for three days, sleeps on the pillow block, and mourns the excesses. and burial, Lu on the side of the tomb to offer sacrifices, mourning the ten days of return. 'Di Jiazhi, descend the edict of the edict. (Appendix to emperor Ming Yingzong's Record of deposing emperor Huan)
There is such a filial piety in the clan room, and as the emperor of the patriarch, he is also honored, and naturally there is no impermissible courtesy.
A filial son who has been ill since childhood
Zhu Xunyi ( 朱逊燂 ) , born on the sixth day of the first month of March in the eighth year of Yongle ( 1410 ) , was the fifth son of Zhu Gui , the Prince of Jian , the first emperor of the Dai Dynasty , and his birth mother is unknown. On the first day of October in the twenty-second year of Yongle (1424), the 15-year-old Zhu Xunyi was crowned king of Xiangyuan Commandery by his cousin Emperor Akihito.
Although Zhu Xunyi was born in Tianhuang, the son of a prince, the first prince of a country, and the age of two thousand stones, second only to the prince level, even higher than his eighteenth uncle Zhu Yu, he was a "bitter child" without fatherly love.
Zhu Gui stills
Zhu Gui was a "wanton and violent person", believing that during the Jianwen period, he was demoted to a commoner, was implicated by his fourth brother, and was dragged down by his own princess, so under the influence of the favored concubine Xu Shi, the entire Yongle Dynasty was busy "spoiling concubines and destroying wives", busy with the fourth brother, there was no time to take care of the children, let alone time to educate the children, and even the eldest son born to him and Xu Xiao concubine, Zhu Xun (Huo Ning), the king of the third lu city, was neglected to discipline, not to mention Zhu Xun, the fifth oldest.
“...... Third: The four kings below the King of Lucheng were fanggang, and they were not completed in their studies, and they were gradually moved by qi habits. King Xiangyuan spent a lot of platinum to get an eagle. The King of Lingqiu gave more gold and silver kuramas to make a secret love. Arrogant ambition, no frugality. He went to school, became close to Confucianism, ruled his heart with virtue and righteousness, and treated himself with courtesy. Shu Ji changed his old habits and became his virtuous deeds. ..."(Records of Emperor Mingxuanzong)
From the content of this period of the left governor of the imperial government, Shi Daili, who was unable to carry out his work because of the resistance of Zhu Gui, was indignant and played in September of the first year of Xuande (1426), impeaching Zhu Gui for various evil deeds that should be done by non-kings, it can be seen that Zhu Gui ignored the education of the sons for a long time, completely laissez-faire, so that he was infected with a lot of vices.
More important to Zhu Than to education is physical sin. After all, he was still young at this time, and his thoughts could be saved through education. In particular, after Ming Xuanzong received Dai Li's performance, he personally made arrangements for the education of several cousins, and the effect was still there, and Zhu Xunxuan's transformation from an arrogant and lascivious disciple to a filial piety was a great evidence. However, because they were not valued at an early age and could not be well cared for, the root of the disease left behind was not so easy to eradicate, and they often followed him for a lifetime.
In December of the seventh year of orthodoxy (1441), Zhu Xunxuan went to the shu court and described that he had been tormented by the disease for a long time and could not be cured, and begged the imperial court to help him and send a doctor to treat him:
"Bing Shen, make a sacrifice vessel for Empress Chengxiao." Xiangyuan Wang Xunxuan: The subject suffered from dental disease since childhood, and he had lost six teeth, and begged for medical treatment in nearby prefectures and counties. From there. (Records of Emperor Ming Yingzong)
tooth
Although the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty was only thirty or forty years old, this was based on a high mortality rate, not that everyone could only live to this age. For example, the average life expectancy in China in 2020 is 77 years old, but the elderly in their 80s and 90s can be seen everywhere. In the Ming Dynasty, people born in rich and noble families were still quite common to live to flower armor and ancient rarity, otherwise there would be no "fifty young soldiers". So whether it is contemporary or Ming Dynasty, and the year of establishment is a person's right year, but only 32-year-old Zhu Xunyi, unexpectedly like the elderly, teeth have fallen out, and the number of as many as six, you know that counting wisdom teeth is only a total of 32 teeth, this tooth loss rate is already extremely high.
The doctors allocated by the orthodox seven years did not cure Zhu Xunxuan's dental disease, but became more and more serious with the passage of time, so that "there is little left to fall off." To this end, Zhu Xunyi again appealed to the ninth year of orthodoxy (1443) in October.
In this note, he emphasized the reason why he "suffered from dental disease since childhood": "Since childhood, he has lost his mother, and there is a gap in protection." In just eight words, the heartache of his childhood was exhausted, his mother died early, he lost his pride since childhood, as for his father who was busy with his two major events all day, he had no time to take care of him. Lacking guidance and protection, Zhu Xunyi suffered from dental disease at a young age.
As the saying goes, "toothache is not a disease, it hurts and kills people." Zhu Xunyi, who was tormented by dental disease unbearablely, began to rush to the hospital, and on the grounds that "under the defense of the country, the prescription medicine was in a hundred and one", he opened his mouth to the imperial court with hundreds of drugs and sixty related books, most of which were heterogeneous miscellaneous theories and the agent of the golden stone.
If you want so many folk remedies and extremely toxic tiger and wolf medicines, do you want to cure the disease, or do you want to give yourself a pain and happiness after not being tortured? Emperor Mingyingzong was also speechless about this uncle, and for the sake of his uncle's small life plan, he made a large-scale deletion of Zhu Xunyi's request and wrote to persuade him.
"ShangFeng stopped with the two books "The Book of Persuasion of Empress Renxiao" and "For the Good Yin", and gave it to those who were at peace with the medicinal nature. And the exhortation is written, saying: Pure heart and easy work, natural life can be longevity, and it is too complicated, I am afraid that it will be detrimental and unhelpful. (Records of Emperor Ming Yingzong)
Chinese herbal medicines
After this, Zhu Xunyi stopped for a long time. It was not until November of the first year of Jingtai (1450) that he again went to the imperial court to seek medicine from another cousin, zhu Qiyu, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with the idea of "living on the border and curing diseases without Chuanguang medicinal materials". The Ming Dynasty Zong Ming Tai Hospital was allocated as in number. Four years later, 45-year-old Zhu Xunyi actually suffered a stroke.
(Jingtai 5th winter October) Xin Wei, the daifu Xiangyuan Wang Xunxuan: since September, infected with wind disease, has not been cured for a long time. The Hospital of Destiny sent doctors to take medicine and bait for treatment. (Appendix to emperor Ming Yingzong's Record of deposing emperor Huan)
It can be seen that the childhood encounter had a great impact on Zhu Xunxuan's health, and he has been accompanied by illness for many years.
Rebel courtiers of the imperial court: false accusations against Inspector Datong
On June 26 of the second year of Jingtai, the imperial court received an impeachment letter from Zhu Xunyi, the king of Xiangyuan, who was impeached by the left vice capital Yushi, the new inspector of Datong, and the military governor of Datong. There are as many as a dozen crimes, and the main contents are two: First, the military officers and men are living in difficulty, the young and rich refuse to open a warehouse, and let them be in the depths of the water, while he himself is a "city chicken wine for his own use" every day; second, anyone who violates his orders will be fined five buckets of rice under the name of "rewarding the army" under the guise of public welfare.
The Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, which was in charge of supervision, impeachment, and recommendation, attached great importance to it, and requested that The Inspector of Shanxi be allowed to follow the imperial history and jointly investigate the matter with the Three Divisions of Shanxi. Approved by Emperor Ming.
On August 17 of the same year, just as the Shanxi high-level joint efforts were to review the impeachment of Nianfu by King Xiangyuan, Zhu Xunyi once again impeached Nianfu and accepted bribes totaling more than 1,200 taels from Zuo Du Yushi, former Datong Inspector Shen Gu, and general Xu Gui, as well as bribes from Datong Wei's commander, Datong prefect, Yi Cheng and others.
Compared with the last time, the Metropolitan Inspection Bureau did not believe that the content of Zhu Xunxuan's performance this time was almost a punctuation mark, because Nian Fu had already taken the two down and convicted them separately, Shen Gu was "greedy and disloyal", Xu Gui was "lawless", and did not obey the law. These two crimes can not be described as heavy, and Zhu Xunyi's impeachment of Nianfu to take bribes from two people makes no logical sense at all. However, the clans were impeached, and they had to investigate and give an explanation, so they once again sent Yushi Qianqing to lead the team to Datong.
Ming Dynasty chancellor stills
Young and wealthy, Yongle years will test the deputy list (in addition to the list of gongshi in the examination, then select a number of people to be listed as deputy list, can be directly as an official, can not participate in the examination of the temple) born, the history of Ming Chengzu, Renzong, Xuanzong, Yingzong, Daizong, Xianzong Six Emperors and Seven Dynasties, started by the county scholar official teaching the Zuoyi official (the starting point is lower than Hai Rui), successively in the local and capital office, and finally died in the Hubu Shangshu.
The rich and the young are strong and upright, honest and honest, unswerving, dare to do things when things happen, and are deeply respected by the people, and can be regarded as a generation of famous courtiers. The "History of Ming" commented on him: "Rich and honest, upright and strong, unswerving, and the same as Wang Ao, he is called a famous minister." ”
Nian Fu's appointment as the inspector of Datong can be said to have been ordered in the autumn of troubles and in times of crisis. Shortly before he took office, the "Tumu Fort Change" that shocked China and foreign countries broke out, and Datong was the main direction of attack of Walla, bearing the brunt of it, and the smoke was incessant in recent years, and the people were deeply affected. Shen Gu, the inspector of Datong at the time, only knew that the fake public was helping private interests, which made it impossible to implement the decrees of the imperial court, the officialdom was extremely corrupt, the officials who handled grain and grass were rampantly corrupt, and shoddy use of "gray soil and rice wheat", and the generals in the army "cried hunger and cold" but had no way to appeal. The whole town of Datong is on the verge of getting out of control at any time.
To this end, Guo Deng, then the commander-in-chief of Datong, impeached Shen Gu, the inspector of Datong, in March of the second year of Jingtai (1451), and asked the imperial court not to choose a person who was honest and upright to replace Shen Gu. In line with the idea of helping people through difficulties together, Guo Deng did not shy away from recommending Yang Ning, the Rebbe Shangshu, and Nian Fu, who was then the political envoy of Henan Zuobu, believing that both of them were competent. After court deliberation, the imperial court complied with Guo Deng's wishes, promoted Nianfu to the position of left deputy capital Yushi, and served as the inspector of Datong.
After Nian Fu arrived in office, a series of rectification measures were quickly introduced in accordance with the current situation in Datong: First, to recover the official grain and official silver that had been privately lent to the Flag School and other officers by their predecessors, and order them to hand them over within a time limit; second, on the grounds that the buckets and other measuring instruments used in various warehouses had been used for a long time and were deficient and uneven, they all took back the official government for reform; third, they proposed to "save on border reserves" and cut the monthly grain of the soldiers; and fourth, strictly enforced the law.
These measures are of great benefit to restoring order in Datong, but just as the so-called "do more wrong, do less wrong, and do not do well", rectification will inevitably violate the interests of some people and attract complaints and slander. The vested interests took this opportunity and began to retaliate. Zhu Xunyi, the King of Xiangyuan, was the most honorable of this group and the highest jumping ground.
Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Qiyu stills
With the arrival of the two teams of investigators, the reason for Zhu Xunyi's false accusations of being rich was quickly clarified. It turned out that after the young rich arrived in office, in line with the idea of reducing the burden on the people, the number of vegetable households specializing in serving vegetables for the Xiangyuan Palace was reduced, and Zhu Xunyi therefore complained about it, which was the beginning of the conflict between the two sides. At the same time, the lieutenants of the Xiangyuan Palace also privately borrowed official grain and official silver, so they were on the list of collectors. The lieutenant of the royal palace was leaning against the mountain of the palace, and did not patrol the yamen at all, and in the face of the pursuit, he directly pushed two or five six, and Nian Fu came up with a temper and dragged out the white jade of the palace's office and rewarded him with a meal of bamboo shoots fried meat.
This white jade was originally a cook in the Xiangyuan Palace, and because he was favored by Zhu Xunyi, he was promoted to the post of professor without authorization. Hitting the dog also depends on the owner, not to mention Zhu Xunyi's favorite courtier, even Bai Yu dares to fight, it is completely blind to him, the king of Xiangyuan! As a result, Zhu Xunyi not only impeached Nian Fu one after another, but also left the domain with the cooperation of Li Gang, the commander of The Garrison Huailai, and Gao Rong, the commander of the Bureau, and others, with the intention of going to Beijing to file a complaint against the emperor, but the result, of course, was intercepted halfway through.
In view of this matter, Qian Qing and other members of the special case group discussed and gave opinions on the handling of each of the fifty boards. Emperor Ming of the Ming Dynasty deliberately finalized the final disposition: he ordered Zhu Xunyi to be reprimanded, and he was lenient about Nianfu, but only asked him not to be too strong in handling affairs.
"The imperial court tired of sending Yushi and other officials Qian Qing and others to get their affection, playing: Fu Ying was too rough, and it was urgent to arrest and interrogate; Wang Gan violated the "Ancestral Precepts", and was good at teaching things in the Kitchen service bureau, and in the appropriate district, he still begged to patrol according to the imperial history to appoint the king. The emperor rebuked the king with a stern rebuke, obeyed the "Ancestral Precepts", and did not trust the villains to do anything wrong; Yu Fu did not ask questions, and ordered him to be careful with the soldiers, organize the side preparations, and not still be strict; Yu Xifu paid the inspector to investigate the imperial history. (Appendix to emperor Ming Yingzong's Record of deposing emperor Huan)
But the matter did not end here, Zhu Xunxuan was blessed by the "Imperial Ming Ancestral Training", and the reprimand of the Ming Emperor was like an itch in the boot, which had no effect on him at all. In December of that year, when Emperor Ming's case against Zhu Xunxun's false accusation against Nian Fu was concluded, Nian Fu played the imperial court and said that king Xiangyuan had changed the law to toss himself, and this work could not be done. To this end, Emperor Ming had to appease Nian Fu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he once again ordered Zhu Xunxuan to be appeased.
"Edict Xiangyuan Wang XunYi: Than the vice capital Yushi Nianfu things, begging Yushi and giving the matter to understand the body core, from the public. The king of Jinfu and The King still harbored a grudge and wanted to commit murder and so on. Moreover, the chancellor of the Rich Wind Constitution, the imperial court entrusted with important border affairs, and forbade the reform of adultery and malpractice, which was his official ear. The king should abide by the ancestral law from now on, calm himself, not interfere in foreign affairs, provoke himself, and enjoy wealth forever. Otherwise, the ancestral law is there, and he does not dare to be selfish. Wang Qishenzhi. (Appendix to emperor Ming Yingzong's Record of deposing emperor Huan)
Datong Great Wall
However, the enmity between the two sides continued, until February of the fourth year of Jingtai (1453), when Emperor Ming listened to the opinions of the household department and made an evaluation of Nianfu's "tidying up the border preparations, accounting for grain and grass, eliminating the shortcomings of accumulating the years, abolishing both, tuntian greedy people are not allowed to commit adultery, and the rich and cunning are not allowed to wanton", allowing him to continue to stay in Datong to "rectify the border reserves", and Zhu Xunxuan's attack on him came to an end.
Nian Fu served as an inspector in Datong for six years, and under his vigorous rectification, the social order of Datong was rebuilt, and he made outstanding contributions to Daming's border defense cause. Zhu Xunyi frantically attacked him for his own selfishness, intending to put him to death, and for the Ming court, he was a rebellious courtier.
Dai Clan Reserved Program: Close Relatives Against Each Other
Lured by his favored concubine Xu Shi, Zhu Gui expelled the mother and son of the princess Xu clan and the second son, Zhu Xun (Huo Ning), the second son of the Guangling King, from the palace. For Zhu Shiyuan and Zhu Shiyuan, the two long-term concubines, they first ignored them for a long time and let them fend for themselves, and then continued to carry out various crackdowns.
Zhu Gui was like this, and Zhu Shiyuan, who was in the heir apparent, did not hesitate to let go. He was very unkind to his second son, Zhu Chengjun the Prince of Ding'an, and Zhu Chengjun, the fourth son, the King of Boye.
In October of the third year of Tianshun (1459), The Imperial Court of the Imperial Household said that datong was far away from the frontier, the land was poor and weak, and the Generation Clan Clan was thriving, and it was really unbearable to support it, and if the Dai Clan Clan was allowed to live in Datong, it would only aggravate the dilemma of Datong and seriously drag down the Imperial Court. In view of this, Wang Jian proposed to select a suitable place in the hinterland of Shanxi, rebuild the royal palace, and relocate some of the branches of the Dai Fan County.
The acting king Zhu Shiyuan was ordered to count which of the kings of the county were willing to move to the country. As a result, he added two sons who should not be among the emigrants to the list without thinking, saying that his eight uncles, brothers and two sons, a total of 11 county kings were willing to move out. But in fact? Not only did Zhu Chengjun, the king of Ding'an, not want to leave, but even his brother Zhu Shiqiu, the king of Changhua, and several uncles were reluctant to move to the country, but Zhu Shiyuan wanted to take the opportunity to force them away, so they played one after another. Even so, Zhu Shiyuan still did not change his original intention, and continued to play that they were willing to move, until they were successively fed by Emperor Mingyingzong, and only reluctantly accepted the result that several branches of the county kings continued to stay in Datong.
Datong Ancient City
In the first month of the fifth year of Tianshun, the list of branches of the King of Xiangyuan was officially determined, and Zhu Xunxuan's branch of the Xiangyuan King was also included, namely: Zhu Xunxuan, the King of Xiangyuan, and his fourth brother Zhu Xunxuan, the King of Shanyin, who moved to Puzhou (蒲州镇, in present-day Yongji, Shanxi); Zhu Xunzhao, the King of Xuanning, and Zhu Xun, the King of Yinchuan, moved to Zezhou (present-day Jincheng, Shanxi); Zhu Xun, the King of Lingqiu, moved to Pingyang Prefecture (present-day Xindai County, Shanxi); and Zhu Xun, the King of Huairen, moved to Huozhou, Pingyang Province.
The new fiefdoms of the six counties are concentrated in the south of Shanxi, the northernmost Huozhou is eight or nine hundred miles away from Datong, and Puzhou, where Zhu Xunxuan is located, is thousands of miles away from Datong, and the middle is separated by Taiyuan Prefecture, where Jin Fan is located, and LuZhou, where Shen Fan is located, and transportation is inconvenient, not to mention that "after the kings are in the domain, they must not be given a life to determine the province", it can be said that if there is no accident, this distinction is a lifetime.
Although Zhu Xunyi, who moved to Puzhou, gained great autonomy, Puzhou had a good hometown. When I first arrived in a different place, I was homesick and wrote an article called "Thinking of Relatives", which was sad and touching. It is not difficult to see that Zhu Xunyi, who was educated under the arrangement of Ming Xuanzong, is still quite accomplished in literature, of course, it also reflects from the side that the relocation of the country is somewhat forced.
It can be said that the closest relatives have become the traditional reserved programs of the Dai Clan, as the son of Zhu Gui, the uncle of Zhu Shiyuan, naturally did not dare to let the two patriarchs focus on beauty.
In October of the fifth year of Tianshun (1461), Zhu Xunyi's first heir to the throne, Zhu Shi (TuKui), the eldest son of King Xiangyuan, went to the imperial court and said that his father Wang was sick and weak, and he repeatedly advised him to rest in peace, but he stubbornly refused, begging the imperial court to send a famous doctor to treat him. At the same time, he requested to cite the example of Dai Shisun, allow himself to act as a councilor, and divide three hundred stones from LuMi and allocate twenty cooks to open a mansion outside the palace.
Zhu Shi (土匮) was the eldest son of King Xiangyuan and the legal heir of the prince, who was required to reside with the prince in the royal palace, had no power to open the palace independently, and did not have the age of Lu, and all expenses needed to be drawn from the income of the royal palace. Therefore, judging from the first half of his recital, living and escaping is a great filial piety, but in the second half, it is also a disrespectful son of the Fa. The turn in the middle is too abrupt, and the intention to seize power jumps on paper, and Ming Yingzong can't even notice it.
Puzhou Ancient City Arch
For this reason, Zhu Shi (Tu Kui) put a patch in the song shu, saying that "the father king believed in slander and reprimanded", and the father king was alienated from himself because he listened to the rumors, and even rejected himself. It can be seen that the contradiction between the father and son between Zhu Xunxuan and Zhu Shi (Tu Kui) has gotten to such an extent. In fact, as early as the same period, father and son had a very unpleasant quarrel over education.
In August of the twelfth year of orthodoxy (1447), Zhu Shi (Tu Kui) took a woman hostage and rode to the Shanxi Xingdu Si Yamen, claiming that he was too young to study and manage the family, fearing that he would be severely reprimanded by his father, and ran out of the palace to take refuge. It was not until the next day that the head of the palace, Shi Shi, came to bring him back.
After Ming Yingzong received the advice from the relevant officials, he sent a letter to Zhu Xunxuan and issued a soul torture question: "Or is it that Uncle Ping used to be too strict?" "Meaning you want to look up to Daddy King Jane?" Zhu Xunxuan was asked to "make him study with his teacher and cultivate himself and be cautious in order to cover his former worries."
Therefore, the father and son had long been at odds, and the two younger brothers, the Zhenguo generals Zhu Shidai and Zhu Shidai, had the idea of taking the concubine with shu, and in front of Zhu Xunyi, they wantonly slandered Zhu Shi (Tu Kui) mother and son, resulting in the contradiction between the father and son developing into a water and fire in the end. This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Shi (Tu Kui) wants to leave the house and live elsewhere.
Of course, Zhu Shi's (tukui) approach was contrary to filial piety. Moreover, in Ming Yingzong's view, asking the acting father to be a council member was appropriate to "take advantage of the father's illness and seize his throne", which was incompatible with the law, and considering that there was a reason for the incident, he specially wrote an edict to reprimand him.
"At noon, the eldest son of king Xiangyuan (Tu Kui) said: 'Erzhuo's father, the king, is sick and weak, and he is tired of practicing peace and leisure, and does not follow it. Begging for medical treatment seems to have the sincerity of filial piety. Fu He in the middle is also said to be the father of the king's letter slander, is to aid the generation of the grandson, want to act as the father of the council, but also want to build another house outside the house, and divide the lu rice three hundred stones, cook twenty self-use? In detail, then Ru Zhi Gai wants to take advantage of his father's illness and take his throne to be self-reliant. What did the Son of Man say? The etiquette of the whip is very contrary. From then on, it is advisable to change the former sorrow and scrupulously hold the post of the son, and there is no defilement of the sect. Not to be trapped in a fatherless land. The five punishments belong to three thousand, and the sin is greater than filial piety, so be careful. (Records of Emperor Ming Yingzong)
Puzhou Pushou Temple
As for whether the contradiction between Zhu Xunyi's father and son was over, we have no way of knowing, because zhu Xunyi died soon after. In the sixth year of Tianshun (1462), on the eighth day of the first month of December, zhu Xunxuan, the first king of Xiangyuan, died at the age of 53, and the imperial court gave him the title of Gongjian .
Ah Yue said
Although Zhu Xunyi was not valued by Zhu Gui in his childhood, he was almost in the midst of laissez-faire, so that he developed many vices, but he was undoubtedly a filial piety, and during the funeral of his father, he took the initiative to marry filial piety in front of the tomb. Cattle and horses were important means of production and strategic resources at that time, and could not be slaughtered privately, but when he sacrificed Zhu Gui, he killed cattle and slaughtered horses to gather three animals, despite the strong opposition of Zhang Bin, a professor in the palace, and was impeached by Zhang Bin for this, and was demoted by Emperor Mingyingzong.
At the same time, he also learned Zhu Gui's stubborn and mean set. For the sake of his own selfishness, Datong did not hesitate to falsely accuse the inspector Nian Fu of coming to Rectify Datong in danger. After moving the state of Puzhou, he quickly fell out with Xu Fu, the governor of Puzhou, and Sun Lun, a thousand households guarding Puzhou, and once again went to the imperial court to impeach him.
For this reason, Ming Yingzong wrote to Zhu Xunxuan, euphemistically pointing out that "zhongzhong refers to other things, and fears that the king will credulously believe the words of his subordinates for a while, and will not be able to examine the truth in detail", so he almost pointed his nose and accused him of opening his eyes and saying nonsense, asking him to "Examine himself on what he has played before is true, that is, from the real music, he cannot harm people by false things."
Of course, one of the things that Zhu Xunyi did the most dim-witted thing was that he knew that he was the king of the county instead of a prince, and there was no magic means that the prince could enter the succession, and if he was not careful, he would be expelled from the country because of the extinction of the emperor, but he wanted to learn from the old father and the concubine to cause many irreconcilable contradictions, so that the remaining sons moved the idea of "abolishing the concubine with the concubine" and took the initiative to join the warband. So that behind him, the sons broke out into a long-lasting dispute, which eventually led to the second generation of Xiangyuan King Zhu Shi (土匮) being deposed as a Shuren, and the Xiangyuan County's state was sealed for more than one year. Such an ending can be said to harm others and ultimately harm oneself.
