In August of the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, there was a heated discussion in the court around a request from Zhangde Mansion in Henan. Zhu Youdi, the king of Qingliu, asked for the title of King Zhao, which caused a disagreement among the **. Some argue that the request could be considered, although the obedience is still pending. However, Xu Ren resolutely opposed the matter, believing that he must wait for the expiration of the filial piety period before attacking the seal. Although Xu Ren's views were supported by the Ministry of Rites, they were not endorsed by the emperor of the dynasty, Zhu Youji. Emperor Xiaozong made a decisive decision and ordered to immediately attack Zhu Youdi as the king of Zhao. This decision was not without reason. There was a fierce conflict between Zhu Youdi and the late Zhao King Zhu Jianyan. So, who is Zhu Jianyan of Zhao Wangfu?Why is there such a discord with his own son?
Zhu Jianyan was born in Jingtai for three years, and is the eldest son of Zhu Qirong, the king of Zhao Mourning, and his biological mother is Zhang. Zhu Gaosui, the ancestor of Zhao Wangfu, was the third son of Emperor Taizongwen Zhu Di and the fifteenth grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Gaosui died at the age of 50 and was called "Jane". Subsequently, Zhu Zhanyuan, the second son of Zhao Jian, took over as King Zhao, and Jingtai died in five years at the age of 43, known as "Hui". Zhu Qirong, the king of Zhao mourning, died shortly after inheriting the throne of King Zhao at the age of 30. After the death of King Zhao Mourning, the princes' mansions in various parts of the court were routinely required to enter the table to congratulate, but after the death of Zhu Qirong, this matter became a problem. Zhu Youzhu once showed thoughtfulness and allowed not to enter the table, but because Zhu Jianqi was not a prince, it brought trouble.
Zhao Wangfu's Sui Lu turmoil continued. When he was young, his age decreased suddenly, causing Zhu Jianyan to make strict demands on the tax department of Zhangde Prefecture. After much bargaining, Zhu Jianyan obtained part of the tax bills. However, this did not last long, and Zhu Jianxuan once again asked for an increase in the number of years, but failed to do so. Eventually, the age was reduced to 10,000 stones.
Despite this, the actions of Zhao Wang Zhu Jianyan are worrying. Not only did he clash with the people, but he also wantonly killed innocents while drunk, resulting in many people. Zhu Jianyan abolished Chang Liyu and tried to deprive his brother of his power. The imperial court began to pay attention to his misconduct and took a slight punishment against him, but this did not change Zhu Jianxi's misdeeds.
The story of Zhao Wang Zhu Jianyan is full of twists and turns. Although he died, he left behind all kinds of evil deeds that cannot be ignored. Whether the nickname "Jing" he received is appropriate, one cannot help but wonder. The court's leniency towards him did not mean that he should not be punished for what he did.
