Emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Qiyu are two brothers, although the two are half-brothers, but the sense of trust and tacit understanding between each other is very high; Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne as a teenager, and Zhu Qiyu became the "King of Qi"; a king, a prince, but the two are still inseparable from each other, when Zhu Qizhen travels out of the capital, the affairs of the capital are often handed over to the "King of Qi" to take care of, over time, the "King of Qi" began to have a certain prestige and appeal in the dynasty.
However, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is a concubine, "Yu" Wang Zhu Qiyu is a concubine, the distinction between concubines, in the traditional thinking of the succession system of the eldest son of the imperial throne, it also makes the two people's lives go differently, the "Ying" king is very inferior to his own status as a concubine, he has never looked at the dragon chair in the palace, Zhu Qiyu thinks that it is fortunate not to be jealous of his brother Zhu Qizhen, but sometimes life is so dramatic, people who firmly grasp the throne, because of some events and lose the hearts of the people, and have never thought of sitting on the throne, but they have been pushed to the ninth and fifth. In this article, we will talk about the enmity and hatred between Emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and Emperor Ming Dynasty Zhu Qiyu.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang began, he has set the ancestral precepts of "no peace, no tribute, no land cut, no indemnity", and "the son of heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the community", how strong, proud, and proud the Ming Empire is, but the change of Tumu Fort has always been a shame for Daming, and the elite troops of the state accumulated by the Daming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years have been completely surrounded and annihilated by the northern nomads in the area of Tumu Fort, and the loss of elites is not nothing, the most important thing is that Daming Tianzi (Zhu Qi Town) has also been abducted by nomads.
In ancient dynasties, the Son of Heaven was equivalent to the father of the people, and the father was taken captive and humiliated in every way, which was a humiliation to the people of Daming, which was absolutely unacceptable. During the defense of Beijing, the morale of the Ming army was obviously suppressed by the northern nomads, and the main method of suppression was to humiliate the town of Zhu Qi, the Emperor of Ming Yingzong.
Faced with such a situation, the Ming court began to discuss, how to solve this incident? Some ministers in the DPRK and China believed: "At this moment, the Wala army is strong, and we should immediately move the capital and make plans." The ministers who supported the war believed: "Daming should not repeat the regrets of the Southern Song Dynasty, and should fight to the end." "The two sides of the court quarreled with each other blushing, and each side had their own opinions.
At this time, Yu Qian took the initiative to stand up, and he firmly believed that Daming could not move the capital, and once the capital was moved to the south, according to historical experience, the north would certainly not be able to hold it. At Yu Qian's insistence, the Ming Dynasty decided to stick to the imperial capital, and with the support of the upper cabinet officials, Yu Qian was quickly promoted to bingbu Shangshu, and he was responsible for the military operations of the defense of Beijing.
After Yu Qian grasped the military power, what he needed to deal with was the problem of the monarch, that is, the problem of the commander, after all, the country could not be left without a master for a day, and the army must be led by the commander; the captured Yingzong would not be able to return to Beijing for a while and a half, so in order to stabilize the situation in the capital, it was necessary to support the new emperor, otherwise it would affect the morale development of the Beijing defense war.
So a cabinet official went to see Empress Sun, and the cabinet chief assistant and others told Empress Sun about the current situation and the shortcomings of the emperor, and Empress Sun thought for a long time and put forward a request: "Zhu Jianshen (Zhu Qizhen's son) must be the crown prince. Cabinet officials and others agreed, and the next step was to do the ideological work of the "Hao" King.
Originally, he thought that Zhu Qiyu would be very happy to accept the throne, but Zhu Qiyu resolutely resigned as soon as he heard that he wanted to take over the throne himself, and his reason was that he was a subject, his brother was a jun, and his brother was still healthy, how could he seize his brother's position; Zhu Qiyu's attitude affected the victory of Daming's defense of Beijing, and the cabinet officials persuaded for a long time that the effect was still flat, and finally they could only ask Sun Tai to persuade him later, and later after a series of storms, Zhu Qiyu finally agreed to inherit the throne, and also promised to make Zhu Qiyu the prince, so Emperor Daming became Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne as emperor with the era name Jingtai; the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to issue an edict ordering the border guards everywhere not to listen to the excuse of The Wallachians; and the Wallachians originally wanted to use the name of emperor Daming to cheat money and grain, but the border passes everywhere sealed the city gates tightly, and in the end the Wallachian army tossed back and forth several times to no avail.
The leader of the Wallachians also had the courage to kill Zhu Qizhen, and finally under the advice of his brother, he also endured the anger in his heart and did not kill Zhu Qizhen, and the Wallachian army began to integrate the army and began to run to Beijing, they thought that as long as Beijing fell, then Daming would basically be finished; but when the Wallachian army came to the gate of Daming Beijing, they saw a vast banner of daming army, and there were pieces of soldiers standing at the gate of Beijing, and it was very strange that Daming's elite had already been defeated. How is this how there are so many armies.
In fact, these Ming troops in Beijing were quickly mobilized by Yu Qian to come to the king, not only that, but the surrounding area of Beijing was ordered by Yu Qian to dig countless trenches and stumbling bolts, and the cannons on the city gate were also aimed at the outside of the city in unison.
At first, the Wala army did not believe in this evil, and they began to carry out many rounds of siege warfare, but after a few rounds, the Wala army was full of corpses, and the Ming army was almost negligible due to its proper tactics, which made the first bloody brain, and his emotional orders let all the large armies attack strongly, however, this huge attack did not gain any benefits, and even the casualties were even worse.
In a fit of rage, he also had Ming Yingzong taken out and tied his hands with a rope, and then stripped him naked and let his subordinates tease him; Emperor Daming was humiliated by the nomads, and countless Daming soldiers were very sad, and their morale fell very quickly. Yu Qian saw this problem and quickly reported it to Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu, and before he could wait an hour, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty walked up to the Beijing city wall in a military uniform, he inspected every corner of the city wall, and his arrival made the demoralized Ming army begin to rise in morale.
Emperor Ming of the Ming Dynasty spoke to Walla, and he shouted: "When Walla surrenders and returns to the emperor, Daming will spare Er from waiting for death, and if Walla does not surrender, Daming will kill you under the city of Beijing." Although this sentence is very helpful for boosting morale, it is very dangerous for Ming Yingzong, perhaps this is Zhu Qiyu's careful thinking, or perhaps he simply believes that Daming should be tough and bloody.
In the end, The town of Zhuqi was blackmailed by The Town of Zhuqi, and in the case of huge losses, he had no choice but to retreat from the capital of Daming, and the town of Zhuqi of emperor Ming Yingzong was brought back to the town of Huala; the Court of Daming restored peace and stability.
Most of the political views and measures of Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty during his tenure were very in place and excellent, but he was too persistent about two things in this life, and he did not deal with these two things well, which directly led to the fermentation of things, and Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty could not save the situation. One of these two things was the treatment of the returning Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen. The other is to abolish Zhu Jianshen's position as crown prince and insist on establishing his own son Zhu Jianji. So where exactly is the wrong point of these two things?
He had originally planned to kill Yingzong, but the counselors under The wallachians told him: "It is too bad to kill him, it is better to let him go back, let him fight with Emperor Daming, and weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty" It is also very reasonable to think about it first, and now Daming has become the biggest threat to Walla, if he lets Zhu Qizhen go back, then he can still stir up the political situation of Daming.
Or, after Zhu Qizhen grasped the throne, then the advantages for Vala also outweighed the disadvantages, if zhu qizhen was really killed, then it would completely form a liang with the Daming Dynasty and become its mortal enemy, which was also unwilling to see first, moreover, Zhu Qizhen's year in Vala, and also established a good personal relationship, in short, Zhu Qizhen finally returned to the Daming Dynasty safely.
However, at this time, Zhu Qizhen had lost interest in being an emperor, and even he felt that he had no face to face the patriarchs; but the return of Zhu Qizhen put Zhu Qiyu in a dilemma, first of all, he could not give up the throne, but if he did not properly handle Zhu Qizhen, then the ministers of the court would think that they were ungrateful, so Zhu Qiyu carried out a Zen concession ceremony, and he took the initiative to return the throne to his brother Zhu Qizhen.
But the clear-eyed people understand that even if Zhu QiYuken, the people and officials of daming are unwilling, an emperor who has been abducted by the nomads, who can believe him? Zhu Qizhen himself also understood the current situation, several Zen concession ceremonies, Zhu Qizhen resolutely pushed the throne to his brother; but according to the reason, Zhu Qizhen has done a good job, so should Zhu Qiyu also make his brother comfortable.
However, Zhu Qizhen's life was instead imprisoned, the Nangong where he lived, the surrounding trees were cut down (afraid of its escape), and the army defended the place tightly, and even the daily life of Zhu QiZhen became a problem, for a time had to rely on Empress Qian as a female red, in exchange for living expenses, barely living, Zhu Qizhen lived here, felt a kind of humiliation and ridicule, and at the same time planted a seed of hatred in his heart.
Emperor Ming always wanted to make his son Zhu Jianji crown prince, but at that time, Empress Sun and the cabinet both demanded that Zhu Jianshen be established; so Zhu Qiyu and the courtiers and eunuchs began a series of efforts to change the reserve, although they said that they almost succeeded, but the sky did not go according to people's wishes, Zhu Jianji died of illness before he became the crown prince, and Zhu Qiyu's whole person collapsed, but because of this incident, Zhu Qiyu completely lost the hearts of the people.
After Zhu Qiyu lost his son, he became seriously ill in grief, so some ministers began to look at the former emperor of the Southern Palace, Shi Heng was a speculator, he took the opportunity to visit and saw that Emperor Daizong was very ill, so he united several colleagues and began to welcome Zhu Qizhen to seize power.
The change of the door was carried out very smoothly, basically the Jinyi guards and the army did not intervene, and they also believed that no matter who became the emperor, they were the heirs of the Zhu family, and they were loyal to it, so the change of the door was completed so easily.
The ministers didn't know anything about last night's events, and they were preparing to go to the morning court, but when they walked to the main hall, they heard Xu Youzhen shouting, "The Emperor Taishang has been restored!" This roar dispelled the sleepiness of the ministers, who hurried into the temple to worship. After the fall of the dynasty, Zhu Qizhen came to his brother Zhu Qiyu's sickbed, and according to the Ming dynasty, Zhu Qizhen only spoke to Zhu Qiyu, and then Zhu Qizhen imprisoned him until Zhu Qiyu later died of illness, and the feud between the two was officially over.
Zhu Qiyu has always been cautious, never dared to have extravagant expectations for imperial power, and has always done a good job as a subordinate brother and a courtier; however, when Zhu Qizhen was captured, the country could not be left without a master for a day, Zhu Qiyu was pushed onto the political stage, and at this time, Zhu Qiyu, or really worked hard for Daming, it was the joint efforts of Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian that achieved the success of the defense of Beijing, saved Daming Jiangshan, avoided another "Difficulty of Jingkang", and avoided the division of Jiangshan.
Zhu Qiyu's contribution to Daming is obvious to all, however, the desire for power is endless, the desire for power is not big, Zhu Qiyu, after tasting the sweetness, he started the idea of the throne, although he is already the emperor, but the existence of his brother has always been a threat, and Zhu Jianshen is still the crown prince, so Zhu Qiyu is desperate to take risks, for the sake of power and forget the family affection; these two mistakes also led to his loss of the people's hearts.
