The cause of death is not clearly recorded in the history of Zhu Qiyu's death, and according to the situation at that time and some other historical materials, Zhu Qiyu's death may have four factors: illness and death, killing, lack of treatment and heredity.
Next, let's take a look at the specific reasons.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > one of them: Zhu Qiyu fell ill and died. </h1>
Historically, the reason why the change in the door was took place had a lot to do with the body of Ming Yingzong at that time, when Zhu Qiyu was more seriously ill and did not have a prince himself, which made the courtiers panic, xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and others took the opportunity to launch the change of the door.
It can be seen that at this time, Zhu Qiyu was already ill, and it was normal to die soon after. The Records of Emperor Ming Yingzong uses "day by day" to describe Zhu Qiyu's illness before his death.
It can be seen that Zhu Qiyu's death is likely to be caused by disease.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > two: killed. </h1>
When Zhu Qiyu was emperor, he put his brother who had returned from Wallachia under house arrest in the Nangong, and in order to prevent his brother from contacting the outside world, he also sent people to cut down the trees around the Nangong.
Zhu Qiyu's years-long seclusion of Zhu Qizhen made Zhu Qizhen's heart full of hatred for Zhu Qiyu, and now that he has re-ascended to the throne, he will inevitably take revenge.
After Zhu Qizhen was restored to the throne, Zhu Qiyu was placed under house arrest in Xiyuan, and after his death, he was given the title of "戾", which shows how deep Zhu Qizhen's hatred for Zhu Qiyu is.
As a result, some historians believe that Zhu Qiyu was probably killed by someone sent by Zhu Qizhen, and in the "Tale of Illness and Escape", Lu Yu wrote:
"The collapse of the Jingtai Emperor was strangled to death by the eunuch Jiang An".
And the last ming dynasty man Cha Jizuo also wrote in the "Record of Crimes":
"On the ninth day of the tenth month, the king of qi was cured of his illness. The eunuch Jiang Anxi ordered to strangle the king with a bow and repay the king. ”
It can be seen that Zhu Qiyu's death may also be killed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > the third: after the change of the door, Zhu Qiyu's condition could not be effectively treated. </h1>
Zhu Qiyu was the emperor before the change of the door, and after the illness, he had the best quality resources to serve him, but after the change of the door, Zhu Qiyu was put under house arrest by his brother Zhu Qizhen, and the disease could not be effectively treated, and eventually died of illness.
Those who hold this view believe that Zhu Qizhen hates his younger brother Zhu Qiyu and does not want him to be well, and deliberately restricts the imperial doctor from treating Zhu Qiyu.
After all, Zhu Qiyu had locked himself up for so long, and the hatred in his heart for Zhu Qiyu was not generally deep.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > fourth: it may have a lot to do with heredity. </h1>
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the founding monarchs of the Ming Dynasty, had a long lifespan, but since Zhu Gaozi succeeded to the throne, successive generations of monarchs did not have a long lifespan.
For example, Zhu Qiyu's grandfather Zhu Gaozi was 48 years old when he died, Zhu Qiyu's father Zhu Zhanji was 37 years old when he died, Zhu Qiyu's brother Zhu Qizhen only lived 7 years longer than himself, and died early at the age of 37, and Zhu Qiyu's son died even earlier.
It can be seen that Zhu Qiyu died early at the age of 30, which also has a lot to do with heredity.
What do you think about this? What do you think is the reason why Emperor Ming died at the age of thirty?
