After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di seized the throne, he was not lenient in treating the descendants of his eldest brother Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao was the half-brother of Ming Chengzu, and once supported Emperor Jianwen (Ming Chengzu's predecessor) in the Battle of Jingyan and became Emperor Jianwen's minister. However, after the Jingjing, Zhu Di launched the Jingjing Battle to seize the throne and became the fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After seizing the throne, Zhu Di took a relatively cautious attitude towards Zhu Biao's descendants, but did not give too much favor.
First of all, Zhu Biao's descendants were not given too prominent official positions or titles. Although they have not been excluded or ** too much, they have not received much attention in terms of political status. This shows that Ming Chengzu controlled the Zhu Biao clan and tried to maintain absolute control of power.
Secondly, Zhu Di imposed certain surveillance and restrictions on the Zhu Biao family. The activities of Zhu Biao's descendants were monitored to ensure that they did not pose a threat to the Ming regime. This kind of measure reflects Zhu Di's strong pursuit of political stability and his unwillingness to leave behind potential political hidden dangers.
However, it is worth noting that although Ming Chengzu was more cautious about treating Zhu Biao's descendants, he did not take too drastic revenge. Compared with palace coups in other historical periods, this treatment is relatively mild. This may have something to do with Zhu Biao's performance in the Battle of Jingjing, where he was a supporter of Ming Chengzu's side rather than a hostile force.
Overall, Zhu Di took a relatively calm and cautious approach to Zhu Biao's descendants after seizing the throne. He maintained his political rule by restricting their political status and conducting some surveillance, but did not retaliate aggressively. This attitude may be both a response to Zhu Biao's support in the Battle of Jingjing, as well as a pursuit of political stability.
