Zhu Yuanzhang peeled oranges for his son, and Queen Ma was frightened that her husband wanted to kill her son and fled quickly
Father-son filial piety should be human nature, even in the ruthless imperial family, there will be a trace of warmth, but because of the powerful brothers and even fathers and sons cannibalism examples abound.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, he has always been strict with himself, but one day, he peeled an orange for his son, thanks to Queen Ma's reminder, he knew that he had killed his son for that orange, but his son escaped death.
The most criticized thing about Zhu Yuanzhang is his suspiciousness and ruthlessness, he does not hesitate to kill, even if he is a hero who has followed him for many years, and Zhu Yuanzhang is not only ruthless to his courtiers, but also not soft on his son, Zhu Biao is Zhu Yuanzhang's only eldest son, he cherishes him, and even has been impressed by the gentle and benevolent character of the prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Biao, and he is indeed suitable to be the monarch, but the good times do not last long, Zhu Biao is Zhu Yuanzhang's only son among the monarchs. But the good times did not last long, and Zhu Biao was killed in the ensuing war.
After Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was heartbroken and held a funeral with royal characteristics for Zhu Biao. At the same time, he is also faced with an extremely serious question: who should wear the next crown?Zhu Yuanzhang first thought of his fourth son, Zhu Di, but this idea quickly disappeared.
Why can't it be Zhu Di, because Zhu Yuanzhang set the following rules at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty:'If it is the eldest son, it is the eldest son. But Zhu Biao died at the age of 38, leaving behind four children, three of whom were concubines and one was the eldest son. After several investigations, Zhu Yuanzhang finally attracted the attention of his eldest son, Zhu Yunwen.
However, Zhu Yunwen was only 16 years old at the time, and his personality was very similar to Zhu Biao. Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried about his grandson, because he was worried that Zhu Yunwen would be a conspirator after he ascended the throne, so Zhu Yuanzhang decided to do something for his grandson, at least to remove obstacles to his accession.
I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang is too suspicious, or if he really has a premonition. One night, he dreamed that a warrior in gold armor was holding a sword and forcing Zhu Yunwen to abdicate. After waking up, Zhu Yunwen pondered the true meaning of this dream. The golden-armored warrior pointed at the prince, and the soldiers met each other, implying rebellion. Unfortunately, he couldn't see his face clearly in his dreams.
This golden-robed warrior is like a stone in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. In order to get rid of this golden-armored warrior, he suspected everyone around him, but in the end he felt that Zhu Di was the most suspicious. Because in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhu Di is the most ambitious, the most talented, and the most likely usurper. Especially after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Di became more unscrupulous and often socialized with ministers in private. In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang always turned a blind eye, but now, he has to be ruthless to ensure that his grandson ascends the throne.
Regarding Zhu Yunwen becoming the crown prince, Zhu Di has a few words to say. In terms of ability, how can he compare with the credit of the yellow-bearded boy who protected Yanjing for Daming?In terms of prestige, Zhu Yunwen's demeanor when he was the god of war of the Ming Dynasty was quite comparable to that of heaven and earth.
Therefore, in order to test Zhu Di, in order to discuss important matters, in order to urge Zhu Di, after Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Di, he did not tell Zhu Di what important things he did, but like peeling an orange, he accidentally gave an orange to Zhu Di, this action really made Zhu Di stunned for a moment, because his father told them that some sons have always been too strict with discipline, and he rarely says this word, let alone peeling oranges, but Zhu Di was only stunned for a moment, and then he broke away from his father's palm. He took the orange with surprise and pride.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and watched Zhu Di naturally bring oranges to his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became less gentle, but he didn't say anything, just said a few words with a pleasant face, and sent Zhu Di away.
Unconsciously, Zhu Yuanzhang had already murdered Zhu Di at this moment. Because in this orange,"Tangerine"It is divided for the chair on which it sits, while the orange is yellow. Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and asked Zhu Di: The throne is for you, do you want it or not?
Zhu Di didn't react at the time, he just thought that his father thought he was advertising him, and hurried to find Queen Ma, because he wanted to share this beautiful thing with his mother. Hearing the cause and effect, Queen Ma felt that something was wrong. She knows her husband's character, how can she have no reason to peel oranges for her son?I'm afraid her attention is on the orange. After thinking for a while, Queen Ma suddenly understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.
She hurriedly explained to Zhu Di, and at the same time instructed her to leave the palace immediately, hide somewhere else temporarily, and never come back without her knowledge. Queen Ma suddenly found that Zhu Di was also frightened, and a cold sweat broke out on her body, so she hurriedly escaped from the palace and returned to her clan room.
Queen Ma immediately went to Zhu Yuanzhang and begged his subordinates to be merciful, and flesh and blood could not kill each other. Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang put his mind at ease and gave the horse to Zhu Di. Queen Ma was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill Zhu Di in the future, so she tried her best to maneuver between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, but Zhu Di did not die, so she became more and more cautious, and did not dare to touch Zhu Yuanzhang, but stayed in her fiefdom and waited for the opportunity.
In this way, Zhu Yunwen inherited the throne after the death of Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Di, under the advice of Yao Guangxiao, embarked on the road of usurpation. Without Zhu Yuanzhang's protection, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen was just a paper tiger.
Soon, Zhu Di sat on the throne he dreamed of.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew what had happened to him and saw Zhu Di devastating, I don't know how he would feel?How will he treat Zhu Di as his own son?Will he regret that he relented and left Zhu Di in the same room?The long river of time is flowing endlessly, and there is no way to comment on who is who, only the endless imagination of future generations to ** this year's resentment and contradictions.
Zhu Biao's father and son were generous and benevolent monarchs, but neither of them escaped the fate of an early death. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were fighting for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and fighting bloodily to ascend the throne, perhaps due to the will of God, people should not think about too simple things for too long.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, what he was most worried about was Zhu Di's usurpation. It turned out that as he feared, Zhu Di really took the throne from Zhu Yunwen. He thought he had chosen a good master, but he didn't expect that it was Zhu Di who made the Ming Dynasty prosperous. It follows that only history can tell us what is true and which is false, and that personal prejudice and suspicion cannot tell us anything.
