Why did Yao Guangxiao force Zhu Di to kill this person?

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

Zhu Di was able to win the victory in the Battle of Jingyan, and Yao Guangxiao contributed a lot!This monk fully supported Zhu Di's rebellion. When Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di: "I'll give you a white hat!."It means that he is willing to help Zhu Di ascend to the throne. These words frightened Zhu Di, but Yao Guangxiao acted as if nothing happened. Zhu Yuanzhang dared to "annihilate" the heroes, but Yao Guangxiao was not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's threat, but encouraged Zhu Di to rebel. At the most critical moment of the Battle of Jingyan, Yao Guangxiao decided again: "What are you still entangled here?"

Surprise soldiers, long-distance surprise attacks on the capital, big things must be!These words once again made Zhu Di feel panicked. In the end, Zhu Di followed Yao Guangxiao's advice, made a surprise attack on Nanjing, and successfully seized the throne. However, after the capture of Nanjing, Yao Guangxiao was strangely afraid of a man named Zhuo Jing!Zhu Di had already killed Fang Xiaoru and wanted to leave Zhuo Jing. Yao Guangxiao advised: "Back then, if Emperor Jianwen had listened to his plan, would you still be able to stand here now, boss, and decide the life and death of others?"Yao Guangxiao was actually reminding Zhu Di to leave Fang Xiaoru, but Zhu Di didn't listen, and instead left a truly terrible opponent.

Zhu Di understood what Yao Guangxiao meant, and immediately killed Zhuo Jing and exterminated his three clans. Now the question is, where is Zhuo Jing sacred, so that even Yao Guangxiao is afraid?According to the available historical data, Zhuo Jing has been a child prodigy since he was a child, and his memory is amazing. When he was seven years old, a scholar exclaimed: "This kid is a genius, and the only pity is that he is not glamorous." Although he can't understand Xiangshi's words, he has the impression that "he is not glamorous" seems to mean that Zhuo Jing is destined not to enjoy wealth.

What's even more incredible is that when he was fifteen years old, Zhuo Jing was studying in the mountains and encountered a cow after getting lost. Zhuo Jing rode the ox back home, but when the ox left, he realized that it was not a cow, it was a tiger!This rumor may be a bit fantastical, but at least it shows that Zhuo Jing studied very hard, so that his eyesight was not good. During the period of Emperor Jianwen, Zhuo Jing served as the head of the household, and when he heard that Emperor Jianwen was going to cut the domain, he wrote a note to oppose it, pointing directly at Zhu Di, the king of Yan. Zhuo Jing believed that Zhu Di was the most intelligent of the vassal kings, and he controlled the land of Yanjing, which was not good for the imperial court.

Therefore, he suggested that Zhu Di should be used first when cutting the feudal domain, and transfer him to Nanchang. If the situation changes, take him down immediately. However, Emperor Jianwen was a little conceited by Huang Zicheng and others, and did not adopt this plan, but started with the weak vassal king, and said that it was to prevent the grass from startling the snake, so that Zhu Di could be prepared. Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingjing and broke Nanjing in one fell swoop. Zhu Di asked Zhuo Jing after killing Fang Xiaoru: "Why do you want to separate our uncle and nephew?"

Zhuo Jing replied calmly: "It's a pity that the emperor doesn't listen to my plan. Zhu Di admired Zhuo Jing, threw him into prison, and sent someone to persuade him to surrender. This attracted Yao Guangxiao, and forced Zhu Di to kill Zhuo Jing in one sentence. In this regard, "History of the Ming Dynasty" explained: "Yao Guangxiao and Zhuo Jing have long had contradictions!But judging from Yao Guangxiao's request for Zhu Di to keep Fang Xiaoru, the so-called contradiction between him and Zhuo Jing is not unreasonable, unless this contradiction is as follows!Zhuo Jing had already seen through the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao, who was a monk and became a monk, was not a good person, and the two were already incompatible.

Yao Guangxiao also knows that Zhuo Jing's talent surpasses himself, once he becomes Zhu Di's right-hand man, then Yao Guangxiao will not end well. Therefore, Yao Guangxiao is most likely to make a move and force Zhu Di to kill Zhuo Jing!Summary: In any case, it can be clearly analyzed from Zhuo Jing's historical materials that the reason for Emperor Jianwen's failure cannot be completely blamed on others. Zhu Di should not be fully held accountable. The outbreak of the Battle of Jingyan, Emperor Jianwen himself was also responsible for it.
