1. Don't use Zhu Qizhen to compare Zhu Yuanzhang
The more you look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, especially the 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will have two feelings.
First: admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang. Many people believe that Zhu Yuanzhang's historical role is overestimated. There are even some people who stare at the knife raised by Zhu Yuanzhang to the meritorious men after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. But when we put the Ming Dynasty in the long scroll of history, we can immediately find the problem.
Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it has been the first to mess up? It is the Youzhou area. Not long after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Heimin raised troops in Hebei to resist and almost defeated the Tang Dynasty. This was followed by the Anshi Rebellion, which also began in the region. Needless to say, the Song Dynasty pressed on the head of the Song Dynasty like a mountain in the Liao State and the Jin Kingdom.
What does this mean? The north and the south have been fighting each other since the Tang Dynasty, and they are separated at every turn! So who brought the North and the South back together? The answer is Zhu Yuanzhang! In other words, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to eliminating the antagonism between the north and the south! Why did the imperial examination during Zhu Yuanzhang's period tilt towards the north? Don't forget, he came from the south.
Didn't even Zhu Di's "Battle of Jingjing" start in Youzhou? When we all say that Zhu Di's relocation of the capital to Beijing is "the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the king is dead", have you ever thought deeply, is the threat only from "outside the door"? The national capital of the Ming Dynasty is now set in the Youzhou area, is it a kind of centripetal force cultivation and cohesion?
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's best contribution! Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is promoted again, isn't there anything to do? The evaluation of the so-called reshaping of mountains and rivers is not an exaggeration!
Second: anger and contempt for Zhu Qizhen! The defeat of a civil fort not only captured him alive, but also led the Warat army to the imperial capital. If there is no Yu Qian to "make up for the sky", once the Ming Dynasty retreats to Nanjing, the best result will be another "Northern and Southern Dynasties". There is no doubt that the north is again Huhua!
If this is the case, then Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji and others, who have worked hard to bridge the rift between the north and the south for so many years, will immediately come to naught, this is not just a loss for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when our descendants look at history, we cannot use a little emotion or a preference of our own to blind our eyes.
For example, Zhu Qizhen, because he abolished the burial system of the living before his death, he was suddenly lifted to the sky, why did this happen? It's very simple, for example, a person who has been filial to his parents all his life, just because he scolded his parents in the end, he was scolded to the point that he was incomplete. On the contrary, the other person is a rebel son, just because his parents came back to see and cried a few times before they died, he was said to be a prodigal son who turned back and did not change his money.
Is this the case with Zhu Qizhen? Not to mention, in fact, Zhu Qizhen is still the most confused and even the most worrisome IQ among all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. We won't talk about things like him being Warat's "detaining the Son of Heaven", after all, we can give him a reason, he was still young at that time and had not been beaten by reality, let's just talk about him, the "change of seizing the door" after going through hardships!
Second, Emperor Jingtai, Yu Qian and Zhu Qizhen
If Yu Qian is the "courtier of the Ming Dynasty", then Emperor Jingtai should be called the "Emperor of the Heaven". After Zhu Qizhen was captured alive by Wara, it became a sharp weapon for Wara to "attack the city and pull out the village". Daming was on the verge of life and death, and there were two opinions at that time.
One is the theory of moving the capital represented by Xu Youzhen. He said, ".The astrological signs, the calendar, the destiny of heaven has gone, but moving south can alleviate the difficulties. "The general meaning is: God ordered you to move the capital, no shame!
Qian Zhou in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is such a "celestial madman", who never says his own opinions, but pushes God in front. Later, it was he who fooled Liu Chan with celestial phenomena, saying: This is God's order for you to surrender, no shame! Therefore, the author seriously suspects that Luo Guanzhong lent Chen Zhou to add drama to satirize Xu Youzhen!
The reason is very simple: since Xu Youzhen is so good, why didn't Zhu Qizhen say anything when he went on the expedition? It's clear that he just wants to run away and save his life.
Yu Qian represents another opinion: the capital must not be moved, this is to destroy the Ming Dynasty, and anyone who dares to move south should be killed!
In this way, under Yu Qian's strong statement, the southward move was vetoed. But the emperor is in the hands of Warat and has become the "king bomb" in the hands of Warat, how to solve this problem? You have to scrap the card. So with the support of Yu Qian, Zhu Qizhen was deposed, and Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, this is Emperor Jingtai!
The battle to defend Beijing, which determined the direction of history, obviously made great contributions to Yu Qian, but the support and support of Emperor Jingtai also played a big role. Otherwise, if he is a soft bone, even if there is another Yu Qian, how can he play with it? Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's role cannot be ignored. We can't just emphasize Yu Qian, the pillar, and ignore Zhu Qiyu, the symbol of the Ming Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian, Zhu Qizhen's ending would be unimaginable. Those who are familiar with history know what the end of the dead monarch was, especially the dead monarchs who fell into the hands of the northern barbarians. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian are equivalent to Zhu Qizhen's life-saving father, this can't be wrong, right?
Acknowledging this, let's take a look at what Zhu Qizhen did after he was sent back to Daming by Wara. In fact, there is only one, this is the "change of seizing the door", also known as the "restoration of Nangong". Zhu Qizhen took advantage of Zhu Qiyu's serious illness to regain the throne with the support of Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others.
As a result, Zhu Qizhen sat on the imperial throne again, and at the request of Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others, he killed Yu Qian. The reason is, if you don't kill Yu Qian, then let's call it the restoration of Nangong, or the usurpation of Nangong? （"History of the Ming Dynasty" has Zhen Jin said: If you don't kill Yu Qian, this move is nameless.
Therefore, although "the world is wronged", Yu Qian was still killed by Zhu Qizhen. Obviously, Zhu Qizhen also agreed: If you don't kill Yu Qian, your throne is tantamount to coming from the wrong way. After all, it was Yu Qian who supported Zhu Qiyu and replaced him. And Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang, etc., all became Zhu Qizhen's "Engong" and were crazy rewarded. For example, Xu Youzhen sat on the throne of Shoufu with one ass.
3. Your Majesty, you have been deceived miserably!
After 3 years, Zhu Qizhen found that Shi Heng was flying and domineering, so he didn't take him as the emperor seriously, so Zhu Qizhen killed Shi Heng. After the killing, in fact, Zhu Qizhen felt a little sorry for others, three years ago, it was Shi Heng who risked his life to get him back. But now he has killed people!
So Zhu Qizhen remembered a minister named Li Xian! When the Tumubao Rebellion occurred, Li Xian followed him on the expedition, and after the Ming army was wiped out, he was one of the few people who fled back!
After Li Xian came, the first sentence was: "Brother Emperor, I know that you want to ask about the incident when the door was seized, so I will ask: If the matter of Shi Heng and others is revealed, he, Xu Youzhen and others will definitely die." So will you also go offline in advance, Your Majesty? (History of the Ming Dynasty:Fortunately, it was successful, in case the opportunity was revealed first, Heng and the others would not be sorry to judge His Majesty
Zhu Qizhen nodded. After all, if you fail, you will be a rebellion!
Li Xian then continued: "So, your majesty, you have been deceived miserably!" At that time, Emperor Jingtai (Zhu Qiyu)'s only son had died, and Emperor Jingtai was also terminally ill. According to our Ming ancestral system, once Emperor Jingtai dies, there will be two people who are eligible to succeed to the throne, the first is your son Zhu Jianshen (later Ming Xianzong), and the second is the emperor himself! But Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen are risking their lives to seize the door, are they embracing you, or are they speculating? ”
In fact, the subtext is, Your Majesty, you did not take away Zhu Qiyu's throne, but your son's throne, or the throne would have been yours. As a result, not only did you not count if you were deceived by others, but you also helped count the money!
Zhu Qizhen woke up like a dream. hurriedly issued an order, from now on, whoever is using the word "seize the door", I will kill whomever I want. At the same time, in one breath, more than 4,000 people were dismissed, relying on the "change to seize the door". "History of the Ming Dynasty": From now on, the chapter will not use the word "seizing the door", and more than 4,000 people will be discussed.
This is not a joke told by the author, but something recorded in the "History of the Ming Dynasty".
Back then, Liu Chan used the sentence "I can't think of Shu here" in exchange for "Liu Adou who can't help up", so how can Zhu Qizhen's behavior of being deceived and helping to count money ......
