As the first strategist of the Battle of Jingnan of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao's status was naturally indescribable, but he borrowed Confucius's evaluation of Zheng Guozi's son to praise Xia Yuanji, saying that Xia Yuanji was "the legacy of the ancients". In addition, Xia Yuanji also assisted five emperors of the Ming Dynasty, including Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, and Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty. So today we will explore why Xia Yuanji, as an old vassal of Emperor Jianwen, said "Xia Yuanji Aiwu" before zhu Di died?
When Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingnan, Xia Yuanji, as the right attendant of Emperor Jianwen's household, was still actively raising money and grain for Emperor Jianwen, and could be said to be Zhu Di's enemy. Therefore, when Zhu Di grabbed Xia Yuanji and wanted to execute him, Xia Yuanji asked if he could wait for him to finish the work at hand and kill him. When Zhu Di saw that there were still such strange ministers under Emperor Jianwen, he suddenly became interested, and as a result, after Xia Yuanji finished his work, Zhu Di promoted Xia Yuanji to hubu zuo shilang, and soon after, he was promoted to hubu shangshu, which can be described as a high authority.
As the god of wealth of a country, the power in the hands of Hubu Shangshu is very huge, but the corresponding responsibility is naturally greater. After the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di definitely wanted to reward the courtiers on a large scale, and also to build an imperial palace in order to move the capital, which required huge expenses, but everything was carefully taken care of by Xia Yuanji, and it was not a problem, and the history books recorded that "the use of the country is not good."
In addition, Xia Yuanji was also one of several ministers who dared to speak in front of Zhu Di, and he was also convicted of his words. What's going on? It turned out that the Northern Yuan forces still existed, so Zhu Di had been fighting for years, but he had no success, so Xia Yuanji thought that the country was already trapped in internal and external difficulties, plus Zhu Di's health was not very good, so he advised Zhu Di that there was no need to drive the conquest, but Zhu Di could not listen to it at all, so he put Xia Yuanji in prison.
Sure enough, when Zhu Di returned to the division during the Fifth Northern Expedition, he died of illness in the middle of the road, and just before he died, Zhu Di remembered Xia Yuanji and Xia Yuanji's advice, and immediately regretted that he was not in the beginning, so he sighed and said: "Xia Yuanji loves Wu."
And when the news of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's death reached Natsuhara Ji's ears, Natsuhara Ji cried and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Later, when crown prince Zhu Gaozi asked him what he should write in the edict of pardon, Xia Yuanji replied: "We must help the hungry people, reduce the province's military service, stop the act of going to the West, and purchase gold and silver from yunnan and Jiaotong regions." Later, facts also proved that Xia Yuanji's proposal was important for restoring the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.
