Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi has been the emperor for 9 months, and he is in the prime of life, why did he suddenly die?In this article, the author will talk to you about this topic. The death of Zhu Gaochi of Akihito Sect should have been caused by obesity and overwork, and there were no conspiracy theories in it. 
Zhu Gaochi is not easy, although as early as the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu (1369), he was made a prince, but Zhu Di did not like him, the reason is because he is fat and lame, inconvenient to walk, and does not have Zhu Gaochu's "heroic" appearance. In addition, his personality is gentle and elegant, unlike Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochu, who are decisive in killing, in view of this, Zhu Di felt that Zhu Gaochi might die early due to physical reasons, so he patted Zhu Gaochu on the shoulder and said the words "The son of the world is sick, reluctantly", which gave Zhu Gaochu the heart to win the heir. Unexpectedly, although Zhu Gaochu was obese (it is said that he weighed nearly 300 catties), he had a good wife's conditioning, coupled with his own pure heart and few desires, although lameness and obesity were still the norm, but he stayed up until the death of Emperor Yongle and there was no fatal illness, and Zhu Di had no reason to abolish his throne, so Zhu Gaochi still successfully ascended the throne in the continuous conspiracy of the two younger brothers. 
But after ascending the throne, Zhu Gaochi found that governing the country was far more troublesome than supervising the country. According to records, less than a month after Renzong ascended the throne, he received more than 2,300 reports of various documents, all of which were processed, and it took more than 20 days of sleepless rest. This kind of workload makes the strong young people feel afraid, not to mention the frail and obese Zhu Gaochi, so in the first year of Hongxi (1425) May, "collapsed in the Qin'an Palace", three days before his death, he was still in the daily review of the chapter, only two days later, the history called it "no illness and sudden collapse", it can be seen that he was a violent pawn, and because the official history did not explain the reason for his death, so it later became an unsolved case, rumors rolled. 
Gossip. First, ** said. **There are two kinds of theories, namely parent-child** and Hanwang**. Parent-child ** said: It is precisely because the cause of Emperor Renzong's death is not mentioned in the history books that the successor is suspected of "usurping the throne and seizing power", and Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji has become the object of suspicion. Zhu Zhanji was ordered to leave Beijing on April 14 to pay homage to the tomb of filial piety, and after the death of Renzong on May 13, there was a rumor of "Renzong's funeral" in Nanjing, and Zhu Zhanji was in Nanjing at this time, which was impossible to do under the communication conditions at that time, so there was Zhu Zhanji's plan to kill Renzong. In addition, after he returned to Beijing, he said to the ministers: "The world's artifacts are not available to intelligence, and the ancestors have a fate, who dares to sprout evil hearts?"All this shows that this situation is under Zhu Zhanji's control. 
However, relying on these alone, it cannot be determined that Zhu Zhanji is the one who murdered Renzong, because even if he is not **Renzong, sooner or later this country will be his. Moreover, his father was extremely obese, obviously a premature appearance, and there was no need to take a huge risk to try for the throne. This is obviously unconscionable, so this statement can be completely refuted. 
Han Wang** said. If anyone wants to see Zhu Gaochi die the most, it must be Zhu Gaochu, who rebelled and was degraded. He successively attacked Zhu Gaochi during the Yongle years, but fortunately, Zhu Gaochi dealt with it properly and avoided the abolition of the prince, and still had the last laugh to ascend to the throne. However, no matter how Zhu Gaochu wanted Zhu Gaochi to die, it was just an idea, at this time, he was far from threatening Zhu Gaochi in terms of strength, and the people's hearts were back, and the difference in strength could not compete with him. If Zhu Gaochi was killed by him, why didn't he bring troops into Beijing and intercept Zhu Zhanji halfway?Isn't this an extra move to grab sesame seeds and lose watermelon?Obviously, this statement is even more unreliable. 
Gossip. 2. Died by mistakenly taking poisoned wine. It is said that the concubine Guo had toasted the queen at the banquet, but the queen did not use it for a long time, and Emperor Renzong snatched the wine in the cup in order to resolve the contradiction between Guo and the queen Zhang, and soon died of poisoning. The basis for this statement is that the concubine Guo who gave birth to three children was inferred by the martyrdom Renzong, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that the concubine who gave birth to a child did not need to be buried, but Guo's three sons were martyred, and there was something in the middle that we don't know. But this statement is even more unreliable, not to mention the ** of this poison, let's just say that the wine in the royal banquet has to be tried by female officials before it is presented to the noblesAs for the reason for the funeral, it is probably indeed related to the queen Zhang, and we don't know the inside story of the palace fight. 
Death from overindulgence. This statement is also widely recognized, and although Emperor Renzong was obese, he was also famous for his love of beauty. He had eleven named concubines before he became emperor, and in just eight months after ascending the throne, he drafted girls into the palace twice, which can be seen in his lust. But lust is a common disease of all men, and lust does not mean that you need to indulge in lust, Emperor Renzong is such a person, although he also loves beauty during his time as the prince, but he never covets beauty, but to a certain extent, he is pure and has few desires. Otherwise, with his weight of nearly 300 catties, if he really indulges in lust, I am afraid that he will not live to be thirty years old, but he lived to be forty-seven years old, which in the Ming Dynasty, although it cannot be called a high life, but it is definitely a normal life expectancy, so it can be seen that the theory of excessive indulgence is probably nothing. 
So in my opinion, it should be death from overwork. Of course, this fatigue is not only the fatigue of dealing with government affairs, but also the fatigue of greedy for beauty, as mentioned above, he received more than 2,300 pieces in less than a month after taking the throne, and he had to read five or six thousand words every hour without sleep, and he had to make decisions and give instructions, which was simply fatal for an obese person in poor physical condition. In addition, there are many beauties in the harem, and it has to be evenly wet with rain and dew, and in the long run, isn't it "death from overwork"?
ConclusionFrom the perspective of pathology, sudden death is generally a heart and brain disease, and the cause of heart and brain disease is physical reasons and overwork. So combined, Zhu Gaochi's violent death is quite in line with this reason, so I personally infer that Zhu Gaochi's death should be due to overwork, and he doesn't think about it.
