In 1424, on the way back from the fifth expedition to Mobei, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di died of illness in Yumuchuan, and the controversial emperor in history ended his legendary life. Zhu Di's life was full of ups and downs, and as an uncle he bloodily seized the throne from his own nephew.
However, as an emperor, Zhu Di carried on from top to bottom and pushed the Ming Dynasty to the highest peak, which can be described as an emperor throughout the ages. However, this legendary emperor, during his 22 years on the throne, did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, until a palace girl died before he said the reason, then what is the reason, let's take a look at it today.
Yongle Emperor
In 1360, Zhu Di was born in Ying Tianfu (Nanjing), and Zhu Di's birth did not bring much comfort to Zhu Yuanzhang, because at this moment, Chen Youyi was suppressed by a large army, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not even have time to look at this newborn son to command the battle on the front line.
It was not until 1367, when Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to ascend the throne and become emperor, that he named Zhu Di, who was already 7 years old. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in poverty, knew the hardships of starting a business, so he also had strict requirements for his son, which allowed Zhu Di to exercise strong qualities from a young age, and also laid the foundation for his future imperial career.
As the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di had no access to the throne at all, and it was his greatest wish to be the King of Yan in peace. Coupled with the fact that the crown prince at that time, Zhu Biaoren, loved the people, brothers, friends and brothers, and won the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang, it can be said that he was the most successful prince in history.
However, the sky did not go according to people's wishes, Zhu Biaoying died young, which also made Zhu Yuanzhang white-haired people send black-haired people. What is more troublesome is that the prince died early, the crown prince was hanging in the air, and in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang loved Wu and Wu, and did not choose from his sons, but chose his grandson, that is, Zhu Yunjiao, the son of the former crown prince Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Yunjiao ascended the throne, he was worried that the power of the king of the clan was too great, so he listened to the rumors and imprisoned all his uncles, which made Zhu Di, who was far away in Beiping, feel a cold taste, after all, Zhu Di grew up in the military camp, and he would be willing to obey. So they rebelled, and Fengtian jing was difficult. Finally, in 1402, Zhu Di attacked Yingtian, and this battle for the throne of his uncle and nephew ended with Zhu Di's victory.
Zhu Di, who was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang's own lineage, had been fierce since he was a child, and he knew the truth of cutting grass and removing roots, so after he ascended the throne, he went on a killing spree and slaughtered many courtiers of the Jianwen Dynasty, including Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan. However, as a generation of kings, Zhu Di killed decisively, had great talent, and after ascending the throne, he sent Zheng He to the West to repair the "Yongle Canon", the five conquests of the desert north, and the time when all the nations came to the dynasty, it can be described as a generation of male lords.
Zhu Di's family
Zhu Di not only expanded his territory in the former dynasty, but also the harem was praised, and the relationship between the emperor and the queen in the early Ming Dynasty can be said to be one of the best in the dynasties, especially the love of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma was envied, which also gave Zhu Di a great influence to a certain extent. If Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma are respectful and respectful, then Zhu Di and Empress Xu are definitely green plum bamboo horses.
Empress Xu was also very prominent, she was the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, from a young age into the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, was selected next to the young Zhu Di, and Zhu Di became acquainted with the youth, in 1377 (Hongwu 9th year) was crowned as the Princess of Yan, followed by Zhu Di on the Domain of Beiping.
After Empress Xu married Zhu Di, the two husbands sang with the woman, plus at this time the crown prince Zhu Biao did not die, Zhu Di also wanted to be a prince, and for a time Zhu Di could be regarded as a double harvest of love and career. However, the good times did not last long, and the crown prince Zhu Biao died young in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he passed the throne to Zhu Yunjiao.
Moreover, Zhu Yunjiao's young tianzi, flesh and blood, as soon as he came to power, he cut the titles of several clan kings, so that Zhu Di chose to rebel and opened a four-year-long Battle of Jingnan. Zhu Di went out to fight, and Empress Xu, as a descendant of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, had heard about it since childhood, and she also wore armor and participated in the military during the Jing Dynasty, stabilizing Zhu Di's base camp.
Empress Xu not only guarded the base camp for Zhu Di, but also gave birth to three sons and four daughters to Zhu Di, three of whom were well-known, the eldest Zhu Gaozi was the later Emperor Mingrenzong Zhu Gaoxu, the second was Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and the third was Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Zhao, in the Jing Dynasty, including the later Zheng Mobei. It can be said that the reason why Zhu Di is successful is because he has an excellent woman behind him who supports his ancient hegemony.
Why did he not have a son and a half daughter after 22 years on the throne?
Zhu Di and Empress Xu Qingmei Bamboo Horse, Zhu Di became emperor and Empress Xu was inseparable, but the sky did not go according to people's wishes, when Zhu Di was happy and happy, Empress Xu suddenly died of illness in Yongle for five years, which made Zhu Di suddenly lose his soul, Zhu Di even dressed in white for a year, quit looking at the dynasty for a year, for a long time Zhu Di did not step into his harem again, and was in sorrow every day. This is also an important reason why Zhu Di did not have a son and a half daughter during his 22 years on the throne.
Time may be a sedative to dilute the pain, although many years have passed, Zhu Di still can't help but miss the late Empress Xu. Finally one day I met a korean tribute woman, she and Empress Xu are very similar, which makes Zhu Di overjoyed, love Wu and Wu, directly crowned as a concubine, and take it with her everywhere she goes.
Unfortunately, Concubine Quan was also red-faced and short-lived, and she also left Zhu Di not long ago. But the young concubine was born strong, and her death was inevitably speculative. According to the history of the wild, a palace maid told the truth before her death, that is, concubine Quan was jealous and killed by other concubines.
If Concubine Quan's death was framed, but Zhu Di could come to other concubines, he could also spread his branches and leaves and extend his heirs. The palace maid said a more amazing reason, that is, Because Zhu Di had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he was physically ill and could no longer have children.
It is also because of this that some harem concubines even have adultery with eunuchs. This made Zhu Di jump like a thunderbolt and directly kill the ring, causing the harem corpses to be scattered all over the field and sparsely populated. Since then, Zhu Di has almost never stepped into the harem, which has also caused Zhu Di to ascend the throne for 22 years, and he has not even had a son and a half daughter. Of course, this is only a wild historical record, and it has not been verified, and all the truths have disappeared in history.
