Zhu Jianshen's father is Zhu Qi Town, the legendary experience of Zhu Qi Town, thousands of years can be described as a unique family, under the father's "favor", Zhu Mi Shen's childhood is also full of wind and frost.
In 1449, under the command of the eunuch Wang Zhen, Zhu Qizhen led a large army to march in person, and the timing was not good, under wang Zhen's chaotic command, 200,000 troops were destroyed, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi town was captured, and the Ming court fell into chaos.
At that time, Zhu Jianshen was only three years old, roughly just able to speak two sentences, naturally unable to serve as a major administrator, under the arrangement of the empress, Zhu Qiyu became the new emperor, and Zhu Jianshen became the crown prince. Empress Sun's arrangement was still relatively stable, after all, Zhu Qizhen was still alive and might have a chance to return, and Zhu Qiyu's foundation was unstable when he took the throne, making Zhu Jianshen a prince and could take care of the interests of all parties.
The defense of Beijing was victorious, Zhu Qiyu's reputation reached its peak, and Zhu Jianshen was gradually snubbed. The old father is still imprisoned in Vala, life and death are unpredictable, Zhu Jianshen has no father's protection, naturally he is also precarious, extremely insecure.
After Zhu Qizhen returned, Zhu Qiyu targeted his brother everywhere, and in order to stabilize the throne, Zhu Qiyu even bribed the cabinet ministers to depose the crown prince Zhu Jianshen and set up his own son Zhu Jianji. At this time, Zhu Jianshen was even more depressed phoenix than a chicken, moving was a common thing, and often heard the cold words of others, and the only one who accompanied him was probably the palace maid Wan Zhen'er.
Heaven did not bless Zhu Qiyu, and Soon Zhu Jianji died. A few years later, Zhu Qizhen spent a lot of effort and successfully restored again, and Zhu Jianshen became the prince again like a roller coaster.
Theoretically, a person's bad encounters at a young age will be magnified countless times in his adulthood, and the typical representative of them is Zhu Yuanzhang, of course, Zhu Jianshen's encounters are far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang's. If Zhu Jianji did not die, or if zhu Qizhen's restoration was not successful, then Zhu Jianshen was likely to become a victim of politics.
Historical records record that "in the winter of December, Gengzi, Zuo Shuzi Li Chun posthumously discussed the abolition of Jingtai, and the emperor said: "The Jingtai matter has passed, and it is not what the subordinates should say." Responsible. ”
However, Zhu Jianshen did not care about this, and after he ascended the throne, he did not pursue Zhu Qiyu's abolition of the crown prince, and even restored the title of Emperor Zhu Qiyu in the eleventh year of Chenghua (1475 AD).
Historical records record that "in the winter of November, the crown prince was made crown prince, and a general amnesty was granted." In December, the Emperor of fu qi. Ding You, forbidden by Shen Zigong. ”
So why did Zhu Jianshen want to rehabilitate his uncle Zhu Qiyu?
First, Zhu Qiyu did not cause serious consequences
In fact, in the early days, Zhu Qiyu did not want to be this emperor, originally Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu had a very good relationship, otherwise Zhu Qizhen would not have left Zhu Qiyu to supervise the country. In Zhu Qiyu's heart, he wanted to be a prince in peace and for the rest of his life.
The development of things is often not subject to the will of the people, Zhu Qizhen is captured, and he Zhu Qiyu must take over the throne of his brother, whether Zhu Qiyu wants to or not, he must be the emperor.
After tasting the taste of power, Zhu Qiyu did not want to give the throne to people, in order to prevent his brother from returning, he did everything in his power, but even so, he failed, and with the efforts of the emissary Yang Shan, Zhu Qizhen returned safely.
After returning, Zhu Qizhen was placed under house arrest in the Nangong, and this residence was seven years. If he wanted to completely keep the throne, there was only one way, that is, to kill Zhu Qizhen, when Zhu Qiyu was in power, he should have many ways to kill Zhu Qizhen, but he did not do this in the end.
Some people say that Zhu Qizhen still has quite strong strength, there are still many supporters in the imperial court, and it is not so easy to kill Zhu Qizhen, but from another point of view, Zhu Qiyu may have taken into account the feelings of brotherhood and did not hurt the killer.
All in all, Zhu Qizhen not only lived well, but also successfully restored, becoming emperor for the second time, and Zhu Jianshen also restored his status as a prince. In addition to the precariousness of his youth, Zhu Jianshen did not lose anything, which also made Zhu Mishen's hatred for his uncle not too strong.
Second, Zhu Qiyu made meritorious contributions to Daming
Zhu Qiyu took the throne at the most dangerous time in the country, he did not want to be the emperor, but he did not complain after he took the throne, although it was a hard job, he still carried it down and led the army to victory in the defense of Beijing.
Many people are emphasizing Yu Qian's merits, which is understandable, but if Yu Qian does not have Zhu Qiyu's promotion and support, then Yu Qian's ability cannot be exerted. On the verge of subjugation, Zhu Qiyu insisted on defending the city of Beijing and insisting on fighting to the death without retreating, precisely because his position was firm enough that the Daming army could be calmly deployed, and everyone could unite as one and work together.
If there is no Zhu Qiyu to preside over the overall situation, Zhu Jianshen will never be the emperor, once the Wallachian invasion of Beijing, the whole Daming will be subverted, if handled well, perhaps half of the country and mountains can be saved, if not handled well, Daming will soon perish.
In the face of the survival of the country, Zhu Qiyu saved daming jiangshan sheji, and this merit, including Zhu Jianshen, all the daming subjects knew in their hearts.
Third, Zhu Jian is deeply aware of the great righteousness
Do you want to say that Zhu Jianshen does not hate Zhu Qiyu? Not quite, if it weren't for Zhu Qiyu's tossing, his Childhood of Zhu Jianshen would not have suffered so much. However, after all, Zhu Qiyu had already died, and fighting with a dead man seemed to violate the image of an emperor.
Moreover, from Zhu Jianshen's point of view, he also had to take into account Empress Wang, who was Zhu Qiyu's empress. At first, Zhu Qiyu wanted to change the title of crown prince, but it was strongly opposed by Empress Wang, and Zhu Qiyu, in a fit of rage, demoted Empress Wang to a commoner.
Zhu Jianshen was also quite touched by this, and after he took the throne, he also had considerable respect for the Wang clan. Even if you look at the face of the Wang family, it is reasonable to restore Zhu Qiyu's imperial title. Of course, all this depends on Zhu Jianshen himself, if Zhu Jianshen is a dimwitted, then we don't have to spend so much ink.
Although Zhu Jian deeply loved Wan Guifei and caused many bad influences, we could not deny everything about Zhu Jianshen because of Wan Guifei. During Zhu Jianshen's reign, he was still quite accomplished, he knew people well, and the punishment was reduced, so that Daming was back on the right track.
Fourth, calm people's minds and stabilize the political situation
Zhu Jianshen took over the old father Zhu Qi Zhenban, but Zhu Qi Zhen was seized by a coup d'état, although he was restored, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was still good to say.
Zhu Qiyu saved Daming's national fortunes, which is well known, so there are still a large number of supporters among the courtiers. Generally speaking, if you want to maintain the legitimacy of the current imperial throne, you must determine the legitimacy of the previous emperor.
If Zhu Qiyu's people are set to rebel, then what is the defense of Beijing, and if there is no defense war in Beijing, can Zhu Qizhen be restored? Can Zhu Jianshen still be emperor?
For this, Zhu Jianshen was very clear, in order to win the hearts of the people, in order to make his throne more stable, to restore the reputation of a dead man, this is nothing, he will not have any loss, why not enjoy it?
