During a period of Ming Dynasty history, from the "Battle of Jingyan" to the "Rule of Renxuan", although three emperors, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, ascended the throne one after another, Zhu Gaochu was a figure that could not be ignored or underestimated. He can almost be said to have stirred up trouble among these three generations of Emperor Daming, and even involved Emperor Jianwen. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Emperor Jianwen had asked Zhu Di to send his three sons to the capital in order to receive a royal education.
At that time, Zhu Di did not dare to disobey Emperor Jianwen's order, so he had to obediently obey. Xu Da's son, that is, Zhu Di's uncle Xu Huizu wrote a secret letter to Emperor Jianwen, specifically mentioning Zhu Gaoxu: "Among the three nephews, Du Gaoxu is a brave and scoundrel, not only is he disloyal, but he also betrays his father, and he will be in great trouble one day." In short, this letter means that Zhu Gaoxu is brave by nature, and at the same time a complete scoundrel, not only unfaithful to his father Zhu Di, but also may become a huge trouble in the future.
However, because Emperor Jianwen was young, he did not take this matter to heart, and finally allowed Zhu Gaoxu to return to Beijing, which also laid the groundwork for later historical development.
Zhu Gaochi obviously belongs to the type of "wilting lice bite hurt". In the Battle of Jingjing, he led the old, weak, sick and disabled to stick to Beijing, confronted hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, and kept Zhu Di's rear base.
And Zhu Gaoxu, who was named, became the sharpest sword in Zhu Di's hand, and saved Zhu Di from dire straits many times at critical moments. It can be said that how good Zhu Di is, how powerful Zhu Gaoxu is, and the martial arts of the father and son are actually one. Therefore, the real Zhu Gaoxu in history can be described as an outstanding historical warrior.
However, why did Zhu Gaoxu in "Daming Fenghua" behave so "funny and responsible"?
This is not to deliberately weaken or smear his image, but because since Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Gaoxu's series of behaviors are really laughable. First of all, Zhu Gaoxu regarded himself as "the first merit in appeasement" and compared himself to Li Shimin. However, his ambitions ultimately failed and resulted in the loss of the status of crown prince. After that, he did not reflect, but turned on the mode of "tsundere little expert".
For example, at an ancestor worship ceremony, he teased the unfortunate fall of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, but this caused Zhu Zhanji's dissatisfaction. This arrogant attitude eventually laid the groundwork for his tragedy.
Why was Zhu Gaoxu scolded by Yu Qian trembling?Most people's hearts change with status. When Zhu Zhanji was a "good saint grandson", although he was dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxu's ridicule, after becoming the emperor, he had to endure it.
Zhu Gaochi lived only 11 months after becoming the crown prince, and Zhu Zhanji had to return to Beijing to succeed him. Zhu Gaoxu lived in the Le'an domain of Shandong Province, believing that he had a chance to seize the throne. However, Zhu Zhanji skillfully avoided the ambush, bypassed Zhu Gaoxu, and successfully ascended the throne in Beijing. Angered by this, Zhu tried to rebel, but was quickly pacified. Zhu Zhanji sent Yu Qian to "educate" Zhu Gaoxu, and Yu Qian convinced Zhu Gaochu in a way that was upright and powerful.
This is also the reason why Zhu Gaoxu was scolded by Yu Qian and trembled.
Zhu Gaoxu finally died in a peculiar "torture", and his arrogance and ambition became his Achilles' heel. Overall, Zhu Gaoxu's life is full of legends, and he has left a unique mark on the stage of history.
