Chapter 186 Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen
"Of course, why I pick this one is because this thing is weird, but where is it weird?"

"Actually, apart from the statement just now, there is another theory among the people. What is it? It is said that Li Zicheng did not kill Zhu Changxun, but stewed him!"

"Because of Zhu Changxun's overeating, he has a body weighing more than 300 kilograms. Of course, it is not because he is fat that Li Zicheng stewed him."

"Zhu Changxun represents the landlord class, and the landlord class represents the oppressive peasant class. Li Zicheng eats him, just to show that the peasant army represented by him is incompatible with the landlord class. This is the correct explanation."

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about this, let's talk about another story. The one we want to talk about is still the Ming Dynasty, and the characters are also royal figures. Who are we going to talk about?"

"I'm talking about a person named Zhu Gaoxu. Why should I talk about him? Because it's very simple. This person's final fate is similar to that of Zhu Changxun."

"But Zhu Gaoxu was not comparable to someone like Zhu Changxun when he was alive, so you can just quietly listen to what the teacher has to say."

"This Zhu Gaoxu is the second son of Zhu Di, the king of Yan at that time, and the tenth grandson of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He was named the king of Gaoyang County in the 28th year of Hongwu."

"It is said that when Zhu Gaoxu was young, he studied in Nanjing with Zhu Shangbing, the son of King Qin, Zhu Jixi, the son of King Jin, his brother Zhu Gaochi, the son of Yan Wang, and Zhu Youdun, the son of King Zhou."

"However, when he was young, Zhu Gaoxu was cunning by nature. He and the prince Zhu Jiyun of the Jin Palace, and the prince Zhu Youdun of the Zhou Palace said that his behavior was very frivolous, and he was not liked by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Now let's talk about the real thing. Although Zhu Gaoxu is not very good, he is a good fighter. You can listen to the teacher and I will continue to talk about the specifics."

"It is said that in the 31st year of Hongwu, in 1398 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, died, and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi succeeded to the throne as Emperor Jianwen."

"After Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, Zhu Gaoxu and his brother Zhu Gaochi went to the court to attend the funeral together."

"When he arrived in the capital, Zhu Gaoxu was still the same person, and he was not welcome to see him. His uncle Xu Huizu saw that he was idle, so he called him over."

"After this Xu Huizu called Zhu Gaoxu, he kindly persuaded him, saying that your behavior is too domineering. Can you become like your elder brother and read more books?"

"However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't listen, so he just said, am I familiar with you? Why do you teach me?"

"Hey, this Zhu Gaoxu not only didn't listen to his uncle Xu Huizu's warning, he even stole Xu Huizu's beloved mount, and took the horse directly across the river and returned to Peiping. It was still called Peiping at that time."

"It is said that on his way back, Zhu Gaoxu often killed ordinary people and court officials who he disliked, and even killed Yi Cheng in Zhuozhou. So the courtiers accused his father, the King of Yan Zhu Di, of not knowing how to teach. son."

"Okay, now that we're here, I'm going to insert another story. Who should I talk about? Hey, let's just talk about Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen. Only by understanding the background at that time can you understand the battle of Jingnan that I'm going to talk about later. "

"After Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, Zhu Yunqi succeeded to the throne as the grandson of the emperor. Why do you say he succeeded as the grandson of the emperor? Here is another episode."

"Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed his son Zhu Biao as the prince. This Zhu Biao was not only virtuous, but also very diligent, so Zhu Yuanzhang made him the prince early on."

"The good times don't last long, and I don't know if the heavens are jealous of the talents. The prince Zhu Biao died before he succeeded to the throne, and died before Zhu Yuanzhang."

"It's the so-called white-haired people giving black-haired people. After Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pass the crown prince to his other sons, but to Zhu Biao's son. Hey, it's Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi."

"Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang also likes Zhu Yunqi very much. Zhu Yunqi's character is similar to his father Zhu Biao. If he cultivates well, he will definitely be a Mingjun in the future!"

"So Zhu Yuanzhang canonized Zhu Yunqi as the grandson of the emperor. The intention was obvious. He wanted him to be the emperor. Of course, at that time, even if someone was dissatisfied, they did not dare to object, because Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive!"

"Okay, after Zhu Yunxuan succeeded to the throne, the world will be amnesty, and the year following Hongwu 31, that is, 1399 AD is also the first year of Jianwen."

"After ascending to the throne, Zhu Yunqi took three civil servants as his confidantes, which three? The three are Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru."

"In June, Zhu Yunxuan appointed Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, as Minister of the Ministry of War, Huang Zicheng was revised by the Imperial Academy as Tai Changqing, to discuss state affairs together, and Fang Xiaoru, a professor of Hanzhong Prefecture, was appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Academy."

"At the same time, he issued an edict to implement the government of leniency, pardoning the guilty, rehabilitating those who were wronged, and exempting the people from paying taxes in arrears."

"In the first month of spring in the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen worshiped heaven and earth in the southern suburbs of Nanjing, worshiped Taizu as a temple, and compiled "Ming Taizu Records."

"In February, Zhu Yunwen posthumously named his father, Zhu Biao, the Emperor Xiaokang, with the temple name Xingzong, and his aunt Chang, the Empress Xiaokang."

"Respect his biological mother Lu as the empress dowager, and confer his wife Ma as the empress."

"At the same time, he canonized his younger brother Zhu Yunxi as King Wu, Zhu Yunxi as King Heng, Zhu Yunxi as King Xu, and made the eldest son Zhu Wenkui the crown prince."

"Shortly after, Zhu Yunxuan announced to the world that the imperial court is looking for talents and talents, implementing a series of measures that are beneficial to the common people, giving rice and meat to the elderly and so on."

"Don't think that all the things I said are useful. In fact, they don't sound very useful. I just want you to know that Emperor Jianwen is really good at becoming an emperor. .”

"The next point is to talk about the key points. You have to listen carefully, otherwise you may miss some interesting things."

"It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he canonized his sons as vassal kings. Among them, King Qin, King Yan, King Dai, King Gu, King Liao, King Ning, King Qing, and King Su were the nine great Sailors."

"These nine kings of Sai are responsible for leading troops to guard the frontiers. These vassal kings have thousands of personal soldiers, and there are tens of thousands or even more. Some princes and ministers even kneel down to worship them when they see them."

"Even military transfers on the ground need to be informed in advance before they can be carried out, which has brought a lot of inconvenience."

"When Zhu Yunqi was still the grandson of the emperor, he was already worried that these vassal kings were self-respecting and doing illegal things. He had already started thinking about weakening the power of the vassal kings."
