King Zhu Shilei of Xiangyuan: Unable to bear the weight of the crown, Emperor Lizong died on the eve of the raid for more than half a century

author:Qian Yue said history

Puzhou Town is located on the north bank of the Shuishui River, a tributary of the Yellow River, close to the Yellow River, and belongs to Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. Below the Longmen of the Yellow River to the section of the Zizi bend, the river surface is relatively wide, the water flow is gentle, and it is the most convenient section for crossing the river in the middle reaches of the entire Yellow River. Puzhou is less than 30 kilometers south of the Yellow River and less than 100 kilometers north of Longmen, and Pujindu, an important ferry in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, is located in the territory. So don't look at the present Puzhou is just a humble ordinary town in southwest Jin, in the ancient times when traffic was not developed, it was a communication point and a military town to communicate between Shaanxi and Shaanxi, since the first "river bridge" in Pujin in the fifty years (257 BC) of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, in more than a thousand years, the Pujin Bridge was repeatedly destroyed and built, becoming the most convenient passage to and from Qin and Jin.

The favorable geographical location and natural environment make Puzhou one of the earliest areas in China to be developed, which is referred to in the legendary "Shundu Puban", which Sima Qian called "in the world" in the "History". Since the fourth year of the first year of the Former Qin Dynasty (354), when the Former Qin Emperor established Qin Prefecture in Pusaka County, it has been the seat of government of Qin Prefecture, YongZhou, Hezhou, Hedong County, Puzhou, HezhongFu, And Puzhou Prefecture for more than 1,600 years, and once became the capital of Tang. The long history has left a rich cultural heritage in the local area, such as the Stork Tower, one of the four famous buildings, which is located in Puzhou.

Although Puzhou in the Ming Dynasty was only a scattered prefecture under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Province, it was still inhabited and prosperous in commerce, a prosperous place between mountains and Shaanxi, and an important birthplace of Jin merchants, Puzhou Gang and Pingyang Gang, Zelu Gang and known as the three major merchant gangs of Jin merchants. Therefore, when Datong, located in northern Xinjiang, was limited by natural conditions and could not support the large number of clans of the Dai Domain, and needed to relocate its branches, Puzhou became the preferred destination.

In the fifth year of Tianshun (1461), after nearly two years of preparation, two clans of the Dai fan county kings moved from Datong to Thousands of Miles and settled in Puzhou, namely the Shanyin Wang family of Zhu Gui's fourth son Zhu Xunyi, and the Xiangyuan Wang family of Zhu Gui's fifth son Zhu Xunyi, and the two families passed down in Puzhou for two hundred years. Just as the so-called no contrast is no harm, compared to the Shanyin Wang family that was safe and stable and passed down to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Xiangyuan Wang family was very noisy, and the bullshit did a basket, so that it was removed twice.

A fallacy from the History of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Shilei (朱仕坯), the fifth son of Zhu Xunshu (朱逊燂庶), the first prince of the Xiangyuan Kingdom, whose year of birth is unknown, inferred from the Ming Dynasty historian Wang Shizhen's "Prince Gaoshou" article of the "Beiji of Yishan Tang And The Story of Grand Events" (弇山堂別集·

Regarding the life of Zhu Shi billet, most of the public information that can be found on the Internet is recorded as "Zhu Guisun, the thirteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the thirteenth son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the second son of Zhu Xun, the prince of Xiangyuan Gongjian." Chenghua seventeen years of raiding. Eighteen years of flies". This content is obviously based on the records of the Ming Shi Table II.

History of Ming

What Ah Yue wants to say is that the record of the History of Ming, which is used as the original data, is obviously wrong, and it is not only contrary to the record of the Ming Shilu, but also inconsistent with Wang Shizhen, a historian of the dynasty. Second-hand historical materials are at odds with first-hand historical sources, and one is isolated evidence and one is well-documented, and it is self-evident which one of the letters is self-evident. The source is wrong, and the results derived from this are naturally even less likely to be correct.

What is the life of Zhu Shi billet, please listen to Ah Yue's detailed explanation for you.

Sandpipers fight each other

Zhu Shibio's father, Zhu Xunyi, was a great filial piety, not only in the life of his father, "the father of King Jian and his mother's concubine to filial piety", but also after the death of his father, through his nephew, Zhu Shiyuan, who was then acting in charge of the affairs of the daifu, went to the imperial court and requested that the tomb of Zhu Gui, the king of Daijian, be kept filial piety for a hundred days, and was praised by Emperor Mingyingzong.

Zhu Gui, the prince of Daijian, and Zhu Xunxuan, the eldest son of his eldest son, were in the same situation, and even wanted to kill them quickly, and the education of the remaining heirs was also very problematic, allowing them not to enter the school and make waves in Datong City all day long. As a filial son, Zhu Xunxuan naturally did not let his father and king focus on beauty, and learned this point of Zhu Gui ten times out of ten, especially his dislike for the eldest son Zhu Shiyi was almost a one-click copy.

Zhu Xunyi's second son died early, so the eldest brother and the father and son turned against each other, so that his third son Zhu Shihui saw the hope of taking the wife, so he joined forces with the fourth brother Zhu Shidai to desperately slander the eldest brother and the mother in front of the old father, intending to take the opportunity to pull the eldest brother off the horse and replace himself with the throne.

With Zhu Shi's temperament, he naturally would not only be beaten and not fight back. Zhu Xunyi lost his mother at an early age, did not receive good care when he was young, so that his physique was poor, and he suffered from illness for many years, so his usual quality of life was worrying, and this time he suffered a double blow of physical and psychological sickness, and soon after arriving in Puzhou, he was bedridden. Zhu Shiyi took this as a starting point, and in October of the fifth year of Tianshun (1461), he went to the imperial court to seek medical treatment for his father, and at the same time proposed that he wanted to quote the story of the current generation of the grandson acting in charge of state affairs, and he would act as the agent of the Xiangyuan Palace. In addition, rude requirements such as moving away from the palace to live elsewhere and dividing the father's three hundred stones for him to eat and wear were also attached.

Stork House

In view of this, Emperor Mingyingzong decided that he was taking the opportunity to "take advantage of his father's illness and seize his throne", and specially issued an edict to reprimand him, saying that this move was "what the Son of Man can bear to say?" The phrase "The father and the king believe in the slander" also let the matter of taking the wife pass through the Ming Road at the head of the Ming Yingzong, although the self-inflicted damage of eight hundred, but also achieved the effect of killing a thousand enemies, so as to ensure that the inheritance right is not bypassed.

In December of the sixth year of Tianshun (1462), Zhu Xun, the king of Xiangyuan, died at the age of 53, and the imperial court gave him the title of Gongjian. In September of the first year of Chenghua (1465), Zhu Shi attacked the King of Xiangyuan and became the head of the clan of the main branch.

Zi Yue: "If you repay your grievances with virtue, why should you repay your grievances?" Repay grievances with directness, repay virtue with virtue! Confucius's words are often misinterpreted, but the original words are in line with the essence of society, because this is human nature. Both Zhu Shishu and Zhu Shipu understood this truth, and knew that the other party would never let go of themselves when they had the opportunity, so the struggle between the two sides became more intense.

Zhu Shixuan's status is not as good as Zhu Shixuan's, and in order to maintain his advantage in daily struggles, he deliberately poses an "arrogant" posture. For example, when he met his brother on the road, he did not get off the car to perform the ceremony and went directly; for example, every important festival such as the winter solstice, the clans of each province had to go to the royal palace to carry out "haruka" under the leadership of the prince or the county king, and at this time, Zhu Shiju would swing from the middle gate straight into the Xiangyuan palace, and did not want to follow the class to perform the ceremony.

However, these are small pediatrics that cannot be on the table, and seem to have the upper hand, but they will only make people laugh and be generous, and they will also let themselves fall into passivity. In contrast, Zhu Shixuan, who possessed the name of righteousness, was much more clever, and he used to weaken Ming Xianzong's patience with Zhu Shibao little by little by making accusations and selling misery, and finally seized the handle of the other party's "arrogance is especially worse", and in February of the eighth year of Chenghua (1472), he prompted Ming Xianzong to punish Zhu Shizong with the punishment of "removing Lu rice and hanging idle with a crown belt".

The fisherman of the deli

Even to this point, Zhu Shishu still refused to give up, and from time to time sent some "surprises" to his younger brother Zhu Shipu, hoping to force his family to die. Zhu Shitu was painfully determined, and made a surprise move to let the concubine secretly go to Beijing to file a complaint, so as to kick off the prelude to the counterattack, and finally with a beautiful backstab, not only let the eldest brother be cut off two-thirds of the Lu rice, but also let himself harvest the recovery of half of the Lu, and return to the treatment of the Datong Dependent Dai Clan Dazong, although he did not get the restoration of the crown belt, but also out of the clutches of his brother.

Datong Ancient City

After running away from Zhu Shibao, Zhu Shikui, who was uncomfortable, pointed the spearhead at Zhu Shidai, the criminal who took the concubine, so the "bloody case caused by two hundred taels of silver" broke out. The cause was that Zhu Shidai owed Zhu Shidai two hundred taels of silver and did not pay it back, so that his maid Jing Miaofu "paid for meat", and as a result, Zhu Shidai asked Zhu Shidai for help. Zhu Shifu took the opportunity to ask his brother for a "heavy gift", and Jing Miaofu hanged himself.

Zhu Shidai was greatly irritated and angry from the heart, and the Shangshu imperial court accused Zhu Shiyi of gathering people for adultery with his sons Zhu Chengyin and Zhu Chengyi, and the brother Zhenguo general Zhu Shidai; he connived with Xiao Jie, a member of the imperial palace, and guarded the lieutenants Sun Qing and Bai Yu of committing adultery with Princess Xiangyuan and the palace people.

Emperor Mingxianzong was shocked by Zhu Shijian's shameless behavior, and was also so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, completely lost patience with the Xiangyuan Palace, and punished all of them, including the informant Zhu Shidai, with zhu Shidai, Zhu Shidai, zhu Shitai, zhu Shitai, and Zhu Shidai, all of whom were deposed as shuren, among them, Zhu Shidai's father and son were escorted to the Beijing enclosure, Zhu Shidai and Zhu Shidai's brothers were assigned Xiangyuan Gongjian to guard the tomb; The Xiangyuan Princess Wang's family and the palace people who participated in adultery were all ordered to commit suicide; and Xiao Jie, a member of the wangfu, was beheaded Sun Qing and five others were hanged; confessed to the following people for "a hundred dead rods", and if they could survive, they would send the Guangxi border guards with their family weapons to fill the army forever.

This incident occurred in September of the eleventh year of Chenghua (1475).

After a struggle, the three brothers Zhu Shijie, Zhu Shidai, and Zhu Shidai could be said to have lost both, and no one was good. Zhu Shiyi and Zhu Shidai, an orphan in Beijing, were not allowed to return to their hometown after death; one was in the old father's cemetery and never had a day to emerge. Zhu Shixuan was relatively lucky, and in April of the twelfth year of Chenghua, under the intercession of the acting king Zhu Chengxi, he restored the title of general of Zhenguo, but it was limited to this.

In February of the following year, Zhu Chengxi again went to the imperial court, saying that the Xiangyuan Wang's clan had been separated from Puzhou, and Zhu Shiju, because he was incompatible with his brother Zhu Shixiao, was allowed to return to Datong by His Majesty's grace and requested that he be allowed to return to Puzhou. Obviously, this was preparing for Zhu Shilu to inherit the Xiangyuan Prince, otherwise why would he have to toss back and forth in Datong. It was Emperor Mingxianzong who refused the king's request with the phrase "Shi Ji tried to murder his brother".

The geographical location of Puzhou during the Ming Dynasty

Noh is a major feature of the Dai clan. The heirs of Zhu Xunyi, the King of Xiangyuan, in addition to the deposed Zhu Shiyi, Zhu Shidai, Zhu Shidai, and Zhu Shitai, also included Zhu Shi billet, Zhu Shi, and Zhu Shi (earth opera). When Zhu Shiyi was deposed as a Shuren, at least six of his sons had already received knighthoods, and in addition to Zhu Chengyin and Zhu Chengyi, who were also deposed, the titles of Zhenguo generals of Zhu Chengyi, Zhu Chengfeng, and others were retained. Zhu Shidai also retained heirs with knighthoods, such as Zhu Chengchi. In addition, the two also left a bunch of minor children and wives and concubines in Puzhou.

This big son needed to be managed, Puzhou was far away from Datong, and the acting king had no time to take care of it; the cemetery of Zhu Xunyi, the king of Xiangyuan Gongjian, also needed someone to preside over the sacrifice, so the imperial court needed to find a person in charge from among the members of the Xiangyuan royal palace. In view of the performance of the three brothers Zhu Shixiao, Zhu Shitai and Zhu Shidai, they themselves and their descendants were first excluded. Zhu Shi billet, who ranked fifth among Zhu Xun's sons, became the most suitable person in the order of lun.

As a result, Zhu Shi billet was naturally appointed as the Emperor Lizong of Xiangyuan Wangfu and managed the affairs of the palace as a general of the Zhenguo General. The elderly Zhu Shijian's three brothers competed with each other, but Zhu Shibi, who had been watching, became a profitable fisherman.

The tragic one who fell on the eve of dawn

Just as the so-called near-ink black, there is Zhu Gui, who is "indulgent and violent" in the front, and Zhu Xun, who is "arrogant and extravagant", as an example, Zhu Shi billet will naturally not be a white lotus with leaves that do not stick to his body. For example, in the seventh year of Chenghua (1471), Zhu Shibi and seven other generals of the Xiangyuan Wangfu Zhenguo sent their own slaves to intercept other people's belongings on the street and cause physical mutilation. Acting so brazenly in front of the public, he was naturally stabbed in front of the Ming Xianzong case by the relevant departments. Emperor Mingxianzong sent an edict to Zhu Xunyi, the King of Xiangyuan, and sternly ordered him to "discipline all generals to follow the law of etiquette and not to wander again and again."

Coupled with the destruction of the walls of the brothers of the Xiangyuan Palace, mingxianzong was disgusted and did not want it, and there was no idea of restoring the xiangyuan county. Therefore, Zhu Shi billet was in the temporary position of acting xiangyuan wangfu, which was more than sixty years, spanning the four dynasties of Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing.

In this year, Zhu Shi billet performed quite well. For example, in November of the third year of Zhengde (1508), he asked the imperial court for three texts related to the rules and regulations of the clan, such as the "Ancestral Training Regulations", "Imperial Ceremonies", and "Hongwu Ritual System". Such a deliberate learning of etiquette was a plus in front of the emperor, so it was given the book of the request without hesitation.

Puzhou Ancient City Arch

Although Zhu Shi billet worked as a temporary worker, his work still made some achievements. For example, after Zhu Shijian was demoted to a Shuren, the Xiangyuan Palace lost the power to play independently, and the connection with the imperial court needed to be transferred through the Daiwang Palace, which was inconvenient. In the twenty-second year of Chenghua (1486), he regained the right to play independently on the grounds that the king of the Qi Dynasty had "turned back and forth in the face of trouble" in the province.

For example, matters such as greeting edicts and the festive season "Haruka" need to be carried out under the leadership of members of the royal family, and after the Xiangyuan Royal Palace lost the county queen, it could only helplessly use the San'in Palace in the same city to carry out these activities. It is inconvenient not to say that after a long time, it will also cause discord between the members of the two royal palaces due to differences between inside and outside. For this reason, Zhu Shi billet requested in the third year of Zhengde (1508) that the story of The Two Provinces of Qingcheng and Yonghe be invoked to transfer the matters related to the Xiangyuan Palace back to the main palace for disposal. Under his arguments, he regained the geographical right to hold the festival "Haruka".

For example, in the leap May of the seventh year of Zhengde (1512), Zhu Shibi was implicated by his father, and Zhu Chengduo, the son of Zhu Shiguo, zhu Chengduo, and Zhu Chengjiao, the son of Zhu Shidai, asked for the title. After the deliberations of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Chengduo's two brothers were awarded the title of General of Zhenguo because they were "both born when their father was not knighted". Zhu Chengju was only given Half Lu because of his experience of being knighted.

If there were no accidents, Zhu Shi billet's life would have been like this, after all, as a temporary worker for a while, he had not been able to look forward to the good news of turning right. And this year is old, today I don't know tomorrow, what hope is there. After his death, one of his heirs was selected from among his heirs to continue to serve as emperor of the Xiangyuan Dynasty, and from generation to generation, he was descended according to hereditary succession and served as the prince of the palace in his own position. Such a good villain had preserved his position as the great emperor of Xiangyuan County, and even if there were regrets, there was nothing to complain about.

In the sixteenth year of Jiajing (1537), just as Zhu Shi billet was striding towards the "year of the back of the fish", things suddenly changed unexpectedly.

Stills of Myungseijong

In August of that year, the imperial court suddenly received a request from Zhu Shibique to attack the knight. At this time, 62 years have passed since the previous generation of Xiangyuan King Zhu Shiyuan was deposed, and everyone has decided that the Xiangyuan County state cannot be restored, and Zhu Shibio's hand can be described as unexpected. In order to emphasize the rationality of his own attack on the throne, Zhu Jianguo, the king of Leling of Lu Fan (interrupted for 23 years), and Zhu Yanbin, the king of Nanwei of Min Domain (interrupted for 32 years), are specially cited as examples.

These two examples are not cited appropriately, although the two counties of Leling and Nanwei have been broken for various reasons, but their ultimate inheritance relationship is the succession of the father and the son, not the brother and the brother. It was only when both events occurred in the Jiajing Dynasty that similar examples of this dynasty could have a positive effect, and only then did they borrow it.

In order to control the population of the clan, the feudal lords at the county level adopted the principle of father and son succession, but it was not absolute. For example, the Jiangchuan Wang family of min fan was the first to open a brother and a brother in the Chenghua year, and the Qin fan security wang family opened two consecutive records of brother and brother in the years of Hongzhi and Zhengde.

Moreover, there are also examples of the restoration of the county after the removal of the state, such as Zhu Xiaoyi, the king of Ning Fan Yiyang during the Chenghua period, the Jin Dynasty Yong and the king Zhu Zhongquan.

Therefore, whether Zhu Shi billet could inherit the title of Prince of Xiangyuan, whether he could succeed between the two, but also the libu who was always in charge of affairs, and the will of the current emperor Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi. However, during the Jiajing period, after two hundred years of reproduction, the population of the clan had become a major burden on the imperial court, and it was natural that the Xiangyuan Royal Palace, which had already lost its heirs, would not rise again.

"The rebbe is said to be the king of the county without a concubine, Xu Lingshuzi attacked the seal, and the county king was extinct, and his clan branch was xu to serve in official positions such as Ben to manage the affairs of the government, and there was no case where the eldest son had been knighted as a county king, and the second son was enfeoffed. A multi-official council. Discussion: Shi Bad (when shi billet) has been entrusted with the administration of government affairs, and it is enough to be humble and simple. Wang Jian of Leling in Sobilu Province, And Yanbin, the King of Nanwei in Min Province, are temporarily earnd, and it is difficult to take an example. It is the edict that the government is in charge of the affairs as it was. (Records of the Ming Dynasty)

Yan Song stills

Since the right path is not feasible, we can only take the crooked door and the evil path. Zhu Shibiao's son, the auxiliary general Zhu Chengjun (朱成鍨), if Zhu Shilei could become the king of the county, he would be the first heir in the order of the throne, in fact, the elderly Zhu Shilei had already laid flat on the matter of attacking the seal, and all the actions were controlled by Zhu Chengjun - through the door of Emperor Ming's favorite, then the rebbe Shangshu Yan Song. After an exchange of interests, finally in February of the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539), the imperial court and Emperor Ming Shizong relaxed and officially awarded Zhu Shibi the title of King of Xiangyuan County.

Unfortunately, Zhu Shi billet was not blessed, and swallowed his last breath before the imperial court could be sealed, at the age of 91. Although Zhu Shibi's title of county king lacked a canonization ceremony and was less meaningful, after all, it had been recognized, and finally it was determined that his prince was legal and valid, and he was given funeral treatment according to the specifications of the county king, and was given peace and favors.

In this way, Zhu Chengjun was eventually cheapened, and he was made the King of Xiangyuan in December of the twentieth year of Jiajing (1541) as a general of the Auxiliary State.

Ah Yue said

The three brothers Zhu Shijian, Zhu Shidai, and Zhu Shidai, for the sake of power, disregarded brotherly affection, staged a boiled bean burning bean-fired bean-style dispute to seize the wife, and the result was abolished, and the exodus was actually cheaper than the old five Zhu Shi billets, who did not slip autumn almost for a sense of existence. Zhu Shi billet, who was hit by the pie that fell off, after serving as the Emperor Lizong of Xiangyuan For more than sixty years, was approached but under the unscrupulous manipulation of his son, he actually passed the addiction of wang ye and died. What this family has done is undoubtedly constantly challenging the bottom line of the imperial court, changing ordinary people's homes, and has long been destroyed many times, because it is a clan room, no one has been executed, and the severed title can be restored after a jiazi, which is also a great irony.

A replica of the Kazubashi Bridge

It is said that after a hundred years of revision, three drafts, and detailed content of the "History of Ming", it is not surprising that the content of first-hand materials such as "Ming Shilu" is not accepted, and I do not know from which corner to find a history of the wild, he regarded it as a historical fact, and Guangming Zhengda wrote it in the official history. At the moment when information is developed, it is really a big fool to boldly include the fallacies of the "History of Ming" as historical facts. In Ah Yue's view, this kind of indiscriminate act of believing anything in the canonical history as true is better than not having a book.
