Foreword: In June of the sixth year of emperor Xiaozong's reign (1493 AD), Yang Wei (a good name) received an edict asking him to immediately set off for Zhangde Province, Henan, and together with Zhang Jin, the attendant of the Punishment Department, executed Zhu Jianzhun the King of Tangyin. Zhu Jianzhun was the patriarch of the Zhao Dynasty, a generation higher than emperor Xiaozong of Ming. As for Yang Wei, he was the horse of Princess Chongde, the fourth daughter of Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen, and was counted as the uncle of today's son. Of course, Yang Wei also has a heavy identity, his grandfather Xingji Bo Yang Shan, but he was a strange man who brought Ming Yingzong back to Beijing city from The Five Inches by relying on a three-inch incorruptible tongue.
In fact, Yang Qima did not have to travel thousands of miles to carry out such an obscure messenger, but Qian Tong, who had previously followed Zhang Shilang to Zhangde Mansion to command Qian Tong, was unfortunately killed in the line of duty in the process of handling the case, and Emperor Xiaozong could only let his uncle reluctantly make such a trip. So what exactly did this Tang Yin King commit, the emperor did not let him enter the capital and was in a hurry to be executed? In fact, not only Zhu Jianzhun, but even his father Tang Yin Zhuang Was also inferior. Today, I will talk about the Tang Yin King's family and their history of destruction.

Zhu Qi (钅芮), born in the seventh year of Xuande (1432 AD), was the third son of Zhu Zhanshu (朱瞻塙庶) the Prince of Zhao Hui, the grandson of Zhu Gaoxuan (朱高燧) the Prince of Zhaojian, the great-grandson of Emperor Taizongwen Zhu Di, and the grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his biological mother Wang Shi. Due to the lack of historical data, we cannot judge whether Zhu Qi's father Zhu Zhanyuan was already crowned King of Zhao by the King of Anyang (which occurred in July of that year) when he was born.
In October of the eighth year of orthodoxy (1443 AD), the imperial court was unified to give zhu Zhanyuan's sons names. In July of the ninth year of the reign (1444 CE), Zhu Qi (钅芮) was crowned King of Tangyin. Since the word "钅芮" cannot be displayed, for the sake of convenience, the following are referred to by his posthumous title of King Zhuang. In April of the first year of Jingtai (1450 AD), Zhang Shi, the daughter of Zhang Ben, the deputy commander of the Terracotta Army, was registered as the Princess of Tangyin.
In August of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449 AD), the "Tumu Fort Rebellion" occurred, and the town of Zhu Qi of Yingzong was captured by the Wala people, and the father of King Zhuang, Zhu Zhanxun, who was then the King of Zhao, once took the initiative to ask Miao to rescue him. After emperor Yingzong's brother Zhu Qiyu the Prince of Qi ascended the throne, Zhu Qizhen was promoted to Emperor Taishang and returned to the capital in August of the first year of Jingtai.
In July of the fifth year of Jingtai (1454 AD), Zhu Zhanyuan, the King of Zhao, died at the age of 43. In May of the sixth year of Jingtai (1455 AD), Zhu Qi, the eldest son of King Hui of Zhao and the son of Zhao Shizi, attacked and enfeoffed King Zhao. On the seventeenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai (1457 AD), the Taishang Emperor Zhu Qizhen launched the "Change of The Gate" and re-ascended to the throne. The Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu was deposed and died tragically in Xinei. In September of the fourth year of Tianshun (1460 AD), Zhu Qibiao, the King of Zhao, died at the age of 30.

At this point, let's make a summary. The emperor currently sitting on the dragon chair of the Forbidden City is Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who has experienced the "change of tumu fort" and "the change of seizing the door", and his mood and wrist are no longer the Wuxia Amon of that year. However, King Zhao mourned his untimely death, and his eldest son Zhu Jianhao was only 9 years old and had not yet attacked the King of Zhao, so the Zhao clan like King Zhuang was in a state of unconstrained indulgence.
In October of the fifth year of Tianshun (1461 AD), the two younger brothers of King Zhuang and the king of Nanle, Zhu Qi, the king of Pingxiang, went to the temple to pray for her because of her mother's illness. When King Zhuang heard how such a good opportunity could be missed, he immediately found a group of singing people to go to the temple for a feast, and hundreds of people cheered together. Such an act of bad manners and filial piety naturally caused a great uproar in local public opinion, so that Li Ling, the prefect of Zhangde Province, deliberately brought the matter to the imperial court, and Emperor Yingzong immediately took the three kings to the edict.
Three months later, King Zhuang connived with his family, Li Ning, and others to do evil deeds, and was again stabbed in front of the palace. Because the interval was too short, Zhu Qizhen was determined to teach this cousin a profound lesson. He sent the internal official Li Guang to Zhangde Province, took King Zhuang back to the capital, and handed it over to the imperial officials for three trials. This set of combination punches down, it is estimated that the Zhuang King will have to pee his pants on the spot. After the purpose of shooting the head bird was achieved, Emperor Yingzong released King Zhuang back to Henan, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to educate the kings of the clan as a negative model.
Gengwu wrote to the kings of the Shu Clan: "First of all, because qi Yurui, the king of Tangyin in The Zhao Dynasty, was indecent, he specially took the beijing precepts. And ordering the imperial officials to interrogate the indecent things, one by one, is true. Gai yu usually listens to the temptation of the villain, and does not stop from the professor, so that it is so. When sin is reduced to a commoner, but recite the righteousness of kinship, the special law forgives the loan. He was still sent back to the palace and rehabilitated to protect himself as a knight. Record the facts of what he has done and seal it off for a look. Shu knew that the imperial court had taken the meaning of the precepts, and it was inevitable. The book is dedicated to Da, but Wang Liangzhi. —Ming Yingzong Records Volume 341

After this incident, King Zhuang was honest for a while. In the years that followed, the history books were recorded in the imperial court's names of his sons. By the eleventh year of Chenghua (1475 AD), King Zhuang had seven sons. As mentioned above, when King Zhuang was dragged to the capital for ordination, Zhu Jianhao, the eldest son of King Shu of Zhao, had not yet attacked the throne, but he succeeded in attacking king Zhao in April of the first year of Chenghua (1465 AD). It is said that His Highness the King of Zhao was also a restless lord, and in addition to drinking and reveling, he not only killed eleven civilians successively, but even tried to harm the uncle of King Zhuang. Of course, the king of Zhuang has been dormant for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be such evil deeds as "forcibly buying women and seizing people and animal property", and the uncles and nephews can be called half a pound to eight two. In addition, the king of Nanle, Zhu Qi, killed civilians with his staff, and Zhu Qixun, the king of Linzhang, and the king of Zhuangxi were in harmony with each other.
After the matter became big, it was reported to Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, today. The Chenghua Emperor sent Shi Jing (石璟) the duke of Ma (驸馬都尉) and Jinyi Wei (金衣衛) to command Zhao Neng (赵能) to zhangdefu to investigate. Shi Jing was the pony of Princess Shunde, the eldest daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, and was one generation higher than the King of Zhao, and the same as the King of the Zhao Prefecture. Of course, judging from the final punishment result, the matter is still held high and then gently put down:
There is a meeting between the Imperial Family and the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs. At the meeting, the zhao was that the king of Zhao was close to the group, so he killed the pingren. He also wanted to kill the noble lord, and the sin was deep. The "Ancestral Precepts" of The Ancestors are difficult to forgive. But the Queen Mother Concubine begged for mercy, and the aunt was lenient. And the King of Nanle was also serious, and the crown belt was removed, and the rice was reduced by two- and the people's towel was used to read and practice. Tang Yin King reduced lu rice by half. King Linzhang reduced one of the three lu rice and issued a reprimand. — Records of emperor Ming Xianzong, vol. 154
On the sixth day of the first month of September in the twenty-first year of Chenghua (1485 AD), Zhu Qirui, the king of Tangyin, died at the age of 54. In September of the first year of Hongzhi (1488 AD), Zhu Jian, the eldest son of King Zhuang, granted access to king Tangyin. Of course, no one thought that after only six years, the Tangyin Palace would suffer a catastrophe.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Tangyin King Zhu Jianzhun: The degree of evil is better than blue</h1>
I don't know if it was because of the death, the history books are always full of contradictions in the records of Zhu Jianzhun.
First of all, his name, the Zhao Fu Clan is also a descendant of Zhu Di, so their names should also be in accordance with the characters of the Yan Dynasty in the "Imperial Ming Ancestral Training": "Gao Zhan Qi See You, Hou Zai Yi Chang You, Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xianyou". According to the principle of five elements of symbiosis, the last word in the name of the character should carry water, so Zhu Jianzhun is actually called Zhu Jianhuai?

Secondly, was this Tang Yin King the eldest son or the eldest son? According to the Records of Emperor Xiaozong, when Zhu Jian was allowed to attack the King of Tangyin, his identity was described as "the eldest son of The Prince of Tangyin zhuang in the Zhao Dynasty". However, when he was the eldest son of Tang Yin, he once asked the imperial court to leave the city in order to arrange the funeral of his mother Peng. As mentioned above, the concubine of King Zhuang was Zhang Shi, the daughter of Zhang Ben, the deputy commander of the Terracotta Army.
Jia Yin, the eldest son of King Tangyin of the Zhao Dynasty, saw Zhun Begging out of the city to bury his mother Concubine Peng. From there, the fate is to return home on the same day. —Records of Emperor Ming's Filial Piety, Vol. VII
When Zhang Shi died, the history books are not recorded. However, in the fifteenth year of Chenghua (1479 AD), when King Zhuang was 48 years old, there is a record in the Records of Emperor Xianzong that the daughter of Tongzhi Wang Qin of Yuzhou, Henan, was crowned princess of Tangyin. Note that it is written here as "concubine" and not "stepfather". However, this record contradicts the object of Zhu Jian's quasi-crime in the future, and we will talk about it later.
Judging from the comprehensive historical data, the local officials of Zhangde Province are still very conscientious. The government sentenced Lei Chong and Zhao Jian of Zhixian County, Anyang County, to repeatedly enforce the law impartially, and the tangyin royal slaves held a grudge against them and provoked Zhu Jianzhun to make false accusations against them, on the grounds that Lei Chong and Zhao Jian were "not doing their jobs," that is, they could not do their own work well. After a little investigation, the officials knew that Zhu Jianzhun was talking nonsense, and in order to frighten this county king who did not know the height of the sky, the officials moved out of the "Great Ming Law", saying that false accusations of false accusations should be reversed, and immediately scared the King of Tangyin back.
The officials repeated the recitation that it was contained in the Great Ming Law: "Whoever falsely accuses people and plays falsely is guilty." If the king's performance is true, the sin of Chong is inevitable. If it is not true, the law should sit backwards. Please go down to the division and transfer the text of the court to teach the king of Qi not to be confused by the left and right in the future, and to commit a crime in vain. The body is not disordered. From there. — Records of Emperor Ming's Filial Piety, Vol. 40
The Great Law of The Great Ming
Back to the beginning of this article, the timeline comes to the sixth year of Koji (1493 AD), when a family banquet broke out a shocking scandal. Here's the thing: as mentioned earlier, King Zhuang had seven sons, the fifth of whom was named Zhu Jianlian. Zhu Jianlian and his brother Zhu Jianrong and the prince of the county, Zhu Jianzhun, had a bad relationship. After a family banquet, Zhu Jianlian poured a few more cups of yellow soup, first insulting Zhu Jianrong, and then bursting out a fierce ingredient through wine: Zhu Jianzhun, the king of Tangyin, and Zhao Shi, the heir concubine of the Zhuang Dynasty, had an adulterous affair, which was technically called "zhēng".
Who this Zhao clan really was, and whether it was the Tangyin Princess Wang Clan who had been crowned in the fifteenth year of Chenghua, was no longer known. However, in turn, it can also be proved that Zhu Jianzhun's biological mother, Peng Shi, should not have been crowned as a princess or a stepfather, and this heir tangyin king was sure to be a concubine. However, whether it is a concubine or a stepfather, her identity is Zhu Jianzhun's concubine. Taking the son as the mother was really rebellious, and was angrily denounced by Emperor Xiaozong as the "Ancestor of Yi De", so he immediately sent his uncle Yang Wei to Zhangde Mansion to execute Zhu Jianzhuan's mother and son. As for Zhu Jianlian, he was also fined one-third of the years for drinking and being immoral.
The extermination ethics of the quasi-mother and child cannot be tolerated in the heavens and the earth. Yang Wei was executed by the former surveyor and the town inspector. In order to see the drunken scolding and see the dissolution, etc., the revelation is also untrue, and all are condemned. See one of the three of the three. — Records of Emperor Ming's Filial Piety, Volume 77
Zhu Jianzhun had a son, and his eldest son had been given the name Zhu You oak as early as the second year of Hongzhi (1489 AD). However, because of the scandal of his father and his grandmother, the Tangyin Kingdom that had been passed down for nearly 50 years was destroyed, and Zhu Youhao naturally had no chance to attack the Tangyin King.

Conclusion: With the passage of time, the blood relationship between the clans and the emperor's great sects in various places has become more and more sparse, coupled with the accumulation of the clan system, when encountering such an opportunity as The Tang Yin King, the emperor will naturally take the opportunity to shake it to the end. And to tell the truth, compared with the previous emperors of the past, Zhu Youfan, who has always been touted by the literati as the first Ming army of the Ming Dynasty, was actually very strict with the clan.
For example, in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy (1448 AD), just one year before the tumubao rebellion, the then Jin Dynasty and Wang Zhu Meiwu of Taiyuan, Shanxi, made the same mistake as Zhu Jianzhun: "Burn his mother and mess with his sister." At that time, Emperor Yingzong's comment was also "bad people, bad manners, and intolerable sins", but Zhu Meiwu was eventually only stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner and stayed in the capital. The reason why Yingzong did this was based on the principles of the Emperor Ming Ancestral Precepts:
Where the prince has, the most important one will be summoned by the emperor or the internal official. If he does not arrive three times, he will then dispatch the exiled officials and the internal officials to summon them to Beijing, and the Son of Heaven will personally tell him what he has done. If there is a real trace, he will stay with the emperors and officials in Beijing for ten days. In its ten days, five see the Son of Heaven, and then distribute. Although there is a great sin, there is no increase in punishment. The heavy is reduced to a commoner, and the light is to be a person who comes to face him. Or send an edict to the government to make it new. - "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training: Law"
In other words, in the heart of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding father of the country, the descendants of the old Zhu family committed the most serious crimes and could not be executed. However, Emperor Mingxiaozong dared not to take the usual path, and only three months later, he killed Zhu Jianhuan, the King of Jing, on the charge of treason. Compared with Zhu Jianzhun, Zhu Jianzhun was closer to the emperor because he was a descendant of Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaozi. Emperor Renzong's sixth son and Emperor Xuanzong's sixth brother Zhu Zhan (朱瞻堈) was enfeoffed as king of Jing, and Zhu Jianyi (朱見潚) was the eldest grandson of Zhu Zhan and the great-grandson of Emperor Renzong. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianxun was the first prince to be killed by Mingwen, so dealing with a simple Tangyin King was even more important to Emperor Xiaozong.
