Zhu Zhanji, the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has been puzzled for 600 years
The Son of Heaven died to protect the country, the king died for the gods, as the bloodiest dynasty in Chinese history, many stories that happened in the Ming Dynasty over the years seem to have a charm that people never get tired of watching.
In particular, every time you look at the history of the Ming Dynasty from a different angle, you will find that each chapter of the history of the Ming Dynasty has a different charm. Among them, the most fascinating is probably Zhu Di and his three"Good son"and the story between his good grandson and holy grandson.
However, what many people don't know is that the mystery of Zhu Zhanji, the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has continued to this day and remains unsolved to this day.
At that time, the fourth emperor Zhu Gaochi had already died in the country, and Zhu Zhanji, who was still in Nanjing, how did he avoid the ambush of his uncle Zhu Gaochu?and successfully ascended to the throne.
In the case of Zhu Gaoxu's father, we can only know that Zhu Zhanji chased and killed countless assassins on the way back to Beijing.
Zhu Di family. Speaking of the character of Zhu Di's family, it goes without saying that Zhu Di is wise and martial. Although the cause of the Battle of Jingjing was somewhat reluctant, his achievements after ascending the throne are still worthy of admiration by future generations.
Moreover, Zhu Di's accession to the throne fundamentally changed the direction of political development of the entire Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the known Ming Dynasty style bones will not be able to outline such a historical picture of Zhu Di.
As the eldest son, Zhu Gaochi is gentle and elegant on the outside, but he is more resourceful than anyone else on the inside. Especially compared with his father Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi is more benevolent. Zhu Di admires his kindness and practicality.
Zhu Di has always hoped that his son can assist him and eventually strengthen the country. Many people in later generations always thought that Zhu Gaochi was weak, but the 10,000-strong army held Beijing and finally repelled Li Jinglong's 500,000-strong army, was he really weak?
Zhu Gaoxu's second son, Zhu Gaosui, was a man who had pursued the throne all his life. Among the three brothers, Zhu Gaoxu's personality is most similar to his father Zhu Di.
Especially in the Battle of Jingjing, whenever Zhu Di was in a stalemate, Zhu Gaoxu was like a dragon in the sky. This prompted Zhu Di to say a sentence at the time:
The son of the world is timid, and you should encourage him.
I don't know if Zhu Di will regret it in the future. If it weren't for that sentence, Zhu Gaoxu might not have been so angry.
Finally, let's talk about Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanji, because they have been fighting together in the military camp for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxu have the best relationship, which is equivalent to the number one supporter of the other party, Zhu Gaoxu has no personal ability, but Zhu Gaoxu's second brother really has nothing to say.
What about Zhu Zhanji?In fact, he is more like a middleman who wanders between Zhu Di and the three brothers of the Zhu family. Although Zhu Di had clearly designated him as the heir to the throne, he also had to guard against Zhu Gaoxu's ambitions.
Complicated path to the throne.
According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, in the twenty-second year of Yongle, Zhu Di returned from the Northern Expedition and died of illness in Yumuchuan. In order to prevent Zhu Gaoxu from taking advantage of the chaos to usurp the throne, the Ming Dynasty cabinet ministers finally decided not to mourn in secret.
When Zhu Gaochi's succession to the throne became a fact, only Zhu Gaochu announced the news. Seeing that things could not be changed, Zhu Gaoxu could only decide to persevere. He realized better than anyone that his eldest brother was dead, and he still had a chance.
As a result, Zhu not only set countless eyes on Beijing, but also provided a labor force to take care of his nephew, Zhu Zhanji. As long as Zhu Gaoxu can be between the two heirs"Insertion"One person, then it is difficult to say who will inherit the throne of the fifth generation of the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Gaoxu did not fully understand why Zhu Zhanji was able to escape under his nose, even though he had taken care to control the labor force. So, he once again staged a good show of secret enthronement.
It's just that you must know that Zhu Zhanji was in Nanjing at that time, and Zhu Gaochi was waiting to be hired in Beijing, and the traffic was unfavorable in the old days, and there were very few people who could decide to cross the road. As long as Zhu Gaochi is caught crossing the road, Zhu Zhanji will never be able to ascend the throne.
In addition, another event recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty is also very eye-catching: Zhu Zhanji has just been appointed to the throne:
Zhongguan, also outside the collection, shoot the market.
The meaning of this sentence is that Zhu Zhanji is asking all the ** in the palace to return to the palace in addition to receiving the goods. Since it was the period of enthronement at this time, the things they bought were naturally related to the things that the emperor had to prepare for his accession to the throne.
However, Zhu Zhanji asked everyone to go back, indicating that he was already preparing. It is obviously a great rebellion to prepare these things while the emperor is still in power. Does Zhu Zhanji really have the ability to have the future?
Historians who have studied this period of history are still puzzled. Just like the shadows of axes and candles, people dare not ask what happened to Song Taizu and Song Taizong's inner chamber, and future generations do not know.
Perhaps only historians, waiting for further study of the history of the Ming Dynasty, will have a chance to find the final answer to this once puzzling mystery.
Is the 600-year mystery of the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen, still unsolved?
