In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was a great emperor - Zhu Yuanzhang. He was a legendary figure who rose from a poor peasant to a great monarch who ruled China for 31 years. However, in the course of his accession to the throne, there was a competition for the succession to the throne of the ancestor and a fierce conflict between the brothers.
In Chinese history, "Shizu" refers to the first generation of founding emperors or the ancestors of a dynasty, who had an extremely high status and were regarded as the spiritual pillars and symbols of the entire country. For Zhu Yuanzhang, if he can successfully seize the status of the ancestor, it will not only mean that his political authority is confirmed, but also mark his inheritance and continuation of history.
In this competition, Zhu Yuanzhang and his two younger brothers Zhu Wenzheng and Zhu Wenzhong became the main competitors. All three of them are important members of the Zhu family, and their relationship is very close. However, due to the desire for power, they had serious disagreements on the issue of competing for the position of patriarch.
According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to be named King of Wu, and held many important positions during this period, such as Situ. However, as the situation progressed, he began to covet the throne. So, he tried to weaken his two younger brothers in various ways in order to successfully obtain the throne.
In order to achieve this goal, Zhu Yuanzhang took a series of measures. For example, he sent people to monitor Zhu Wenzheng and Zhu Wenzhong's every move, and even carried out some assassination operations against them. At the same time, he also used his connections to incite other officials against the two younger brothers.
After a long period of hard work, Zhu Yuanzhang finally succeeded in putting himself on the throne. However, the fight left him with a lot of scars. Despite his victory, he still can't forget those who helped and supported him, especially his two biological brothers.
As a great leader, although Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot to learn from Xi in him, there are also some regrettable things. After all, whether in family or social life, we should take harmony as the leading factor and avoid unnecessary strife and contradictions. Only in this way can true peace and development be achieved.
