Zhu Dishan's Korean concubine died, and hundreds of eunuchs were martyred

Many works on the history of the Ming Dynasty have spent a lot of ink on the fact that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di launched a rebellion and subverted the regime of Zhu Yuanzhang's hand-picked successor, Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty, and became the emperor himself. Zhu Di, as a famous emperor in history, his viciousness is also well-known in history, he once killed three thousand palace maids in a fit of anger. What's even more cruel is that even his sister-in-law did not let go.

In the process of Zhu Di raising troops against Emperor Ming Hui, it was not all smooth sailing. His perverse behavior, in addition to being attacked and resisted by Zhu Yunwei's courtiers and generals, was also resolutely opposed by his sister-in-law Mei Yin, who was stationed in Huai'an at that time.

Mei Yin, the master of the horse, is the husband of Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter, Princess Ningguo, and when Zhu Di was about to usurp the throne of Emperor Zhu Yunwen of Minghui, Mei Yin was the first to stand up and oppose it. The reason why this is so is because there are some reasons for this: Zhu Yuanzhang once edicted Mei Yin to his account when he died, and said to the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxuan: "For Zhu Di, the king of Yan, don't let your guard down!" Then he turned his head and said to Mei Yin: "You are an old and faithful person, and I will be relieved to entrust the young master to you." So he gave the oath and the edict to Mei Yin, and said to him: "If someone dares to violate the oath and edict, you can crusade against him on my behalf!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang expected, just a few years after his death, in the fourth year of Jianwen (1402), Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops south. So Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yunwen ordered Mei Yin to be the chief military officer to guard Huai'an, the gateway to Nanjing. Zhu Di led his troops and horses all the way to capture the pass, and soon came to the city of Huai'an. So he sent someone to send a message to Mei Yin, saying that he was going to Nanjing to make incense for his father, Emperor Taizu.

Mei Yin had already seen through Zhu Di's tricks, and said to the envoy sternly: "There is a ban on entering the Xianghuang examination, and those who do not comply with it are unfilial." In fact, Zhu Di had long regarded Mei Yin as a thorn in his side, and when he saw Mei Yin humiliating himself like this, he was furious. But Mei Yin had a heavy army in his hand, and he was helpless, so he sent another messenger and said: "Jinxing soldiers punish the king's side evil." The destiny of heaven is returned, and no one can stop it!" Since Mei Yin accepted the entrustment of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally not to be outdone, and even cut off the ear and nose of the envoy, and then let him go back, and said: "Leave your mouth open, go back and tell His Royal Highness King Yan about the righteousness of the monarch and the minister!" Zhu Di was angry when he saw this, but after all, he couldn't do anything to his brother-in-law, so he had to wade into the water, take Yangzhou, and capture the city of Nanjing.

After seizing the throne, how could Zhu Di let this sister-in-law, who was disobedient at the beginning and had two hearts with him, take the military power again? In order to get rid of this great trouble, he forced his sister Princess Ningguo to bite her finger and write a bloody letter to her husband to persuade her to return, on the condition that Mei Yin's personal safety was guaranteed.

When Mei Yin saw his wife's blood letter, she cried a lot, knowing that there was no other way to do it, so she had to give up Shouhuai and return to Nanjing. In order to appease Mei Yin, Zhu Di pretended to go down to the palace to greet him in person, and then said, "Master Ma, you have worked hard." I didn't think that Mei Yin didn't give Zhu Di face at all, and replied-for-tat: "It's useless, and it's shameful." Zhu Di didn't have a seizure on the surface, but he was very unhappy in his heart, and he had the idea of getting rid of Mei Yin.

Zhu Di's subordinates did what they wanted and came up with a way to rectify Mei Yin. In the second year of Yongle (1404), Chen Ying, the imperial historian of the capital, reported to Zhu Di and framed Mei Yin for adopting the rebellious minister of Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty. What's more serious is that he also colluded with the female talent Liu Moxie and cursed the court.

Zhu Di, who had long wanted to get rid of Mei Yin, found an excuse to kill Mei Yin, so he immediately dismissed Mei Yin's military power. But this was not enough to put Mei Yin to death, and in the way of his sister's face, Zhu Di first sent Mei Yin to Liaodong. In the winter of the third year of Yongle (1405), one morning in the morning, Mei Yin was crossing the bridge, and Zhao Xi, the former military governor who was not on good terms with Mei Yin, and Zhao Xi, the commander of Jinyiwei, sent people to squeeze Mei Yin under the bridge in order to curry favor with Zhu Di. It was freezing cold, and Mei Yin drowned in the cold river. After Mei Yin's death, the two men spread rumors that Mei Yin committed suicide and jumped into the river.

But Mei Yin's friend, Du Du Xu Cheng, soon revealed the truth of the matter. Zhu Di pretended to be angry on the surface, and ordered the judicial department to severely punish Tan Shen and Zhao Xi, behead the two, confiscate the property of the two, and send someone to mourn Mei Yin, nicknamed "Rongding". Interestingly, Zhu Di also thought that Xu Cheng had meritorious service in exposing him, and named him "Yongxinbo". Secretly, Zhu Di killed people and put Tan and Zhao to death. However, what Zhu Di did not expect was that these two wronged leaders confessed the truth before their execution: "This is also fate, why kill the minister?" If this kind of words spread, it will naturally be extraordinary, and the angry Zhu Di ordered someone to shoot down Tan and Zhao's teeth, and immediately beheaded their homes.

At the beginning, Zhu Di kept assuring himself that her husband was safe, and it didn't take long for her husband to die, and Princess Ningguo thought that this matter must have been done by Zhu Di. Otherwise, who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? So she found Zhu Di, grabbed his clothes and cried.

Zhu Di comforted the princess and said: "The horse died to get rid of the thief, why don't you have to live with yourself?" and then gave Mei Yin a grand funeral, and Zhu Di personally sacrificed and honored the Duke of Rongguo. Princess Ningguo was already called the royal sister at this time, and she was named the eldest princess of Ningguo according to the Ming system, and was given generous treatment, "when the year is given or not", even the kings can't compare with this eldest princess. Mei Yin's two orphans were also given official positions, the eldest son Mei Shunchang was appointed as the governor of the Chinese army, and the second son Mei Jingfu was the commander of the flag guard.

Regarding this content, "The History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of the Princess" is recorded as follows: "At the beginning, when the princess heard that Yin was dead, she said that Shangguo killed Yin, cried with her clothes, and asked her to be safe. The emperor said: 'The Lord is a thief, and there is no self-suffering. 'Looking for the second son of Guan Yin, Shunchang is the governor of the central government, and Jingfu is the commander of the standard-bearer guard, and the princess is given a book saying: 'Although the horse Yin is at fault, the brother and the relatives do not ask. Biwen drowned, and my brother was very suspicious. The governor Xu Cheng came to the head, and he was rewarded, and the person who murdered him was all given the law, and the special report was made to the sister. "'From the process of Zhu Di getting rid of Mei Yin, it can be seen that his heart is vicious and his methods are despicable. In fact, this is also the reaction of Zhu Di's nature. Zhu Di once pampered a woman from North Korea, Quan, and the concubine was good at, which won Zhu Di's love. When Zhu Di personally conquered Mobei for the first time, he only brought the Quan family alone. Unfortunately, Kwon could not withstand the long trek and died on the way back to his division.

At this time, in order to achieve the goal of getting rid of another palace maid, a palace maid framed the other party and poisoned the Quan family. Zhu Di believed it to be true and immediately killed the palace maid, and hundreds of eunuchs were implicated. Later, because of his concubine Yu's fornication with the eunuchs, he killed more than 2,800 people.

However, Zhu Di was not without taboos about his slaughter, and after moving the capital to Beijing, the Yongle bell he ordered was cast by people to become world-famous. It is said that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty thought that because Zhu Di's killing of Jianwen's former ministers was too vicious, he cast this bell full of scriptures for repentance. If Zhu Di really repented, shouldn't Mei Yin under Jiuquan be blind!
