Why did Ming Chengzu Zhu Di finally choose his eldest son Zhu Gaochi, who was not very satisfied, and gave up his favored second son Zhu Gaochu? Just like why Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, reluctantly gave up Li Tai, the fourth son of the "favored kings", and chose Li Zhi, who was a little "benevolent and weak" in his opinion? The reason is not.
One or two sentences can be fully explained, and it can only be said that Li Shimin and Zhu Di have made a comprehensive and prudent balance between public and private interests and disadvantages when making a decision.
The author remembers that Mr. Xiao Wu has an article analyzing that Li Shimin and Zhu Di's personal considerations are mainly "hoping that the children will be well", and parents all hope that "the children will be well", brothers, friends and brothers, and the family will be safe. Li Shimin is like this, Zhu Di is like this, and so are the capable ministers and cadres around Zhu Di, but what is the result?
Zhu Di has an employee surnamed Fei. As early as the Hongwu period of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Di was still the king of Yan, Fei Yu, a native of Dingyuan, served as the left minister of the Yan Wangfu, and was later transferred to the commander of the guard in Yanshan, and the position was inherited by his son Fei Su after Fei Yu's death. Fei Su then passed it on to his son Fei Xuan. This Fei Xuan is approachable, magnanimous and benevolent, good at rallying the hearts of his subordinates, following Zhu Di to raise troops to "Jing Difficult", making military achievements, and being promoted to the post of Governor of the Later Army, and is Zhu Di's hardcore disciple. In the eighth year of Yongle (1410), Fei Rong was ordered by the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to conquer the Liangzhou rebellion, and he fulfilled his mission and succeeded, thus extending the deep relationship between Fei and Zhu Di to the next generation.
In the twelfth year of Yongle (1414), Fei Zhen served as the chief soldier and sat in Gansu, which was quite accomplished. In the first year of Zhu Gaochi Hongxi (1425 AD), Fei Zhen was awarded the rank of Pingqiang general. Zhu Gaochi heard that Fei Zhen often looked at the eyes of the eunuchs of the prison army, and specially issued an edict to criticize him, warning him to maintain the manly spirit of a man and not to bow down to the eunuchs. On the surface, Zhu Gaochi is reproaching Fei Xuan, but after a little detail, you will find that he is actually expressing strong support for Fei Xuan: "The eunuch is my domestic slave, but you are my cronies and employees!" "The relationship between the monarch and the minister can be said to be quite "iron".
Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, and Fei Xuan continued to rise to the throne and served as the governor of the right army and the left governor. In the first year of Xuande (1426 AD), Zhu Zhanji sealed Fei Zhen as "Chongxin Bo", and ate 1,100 stones. Fei Zhen was not arrogant or rash, and was ordered to participate in the battle of Zhu Gaoxu, and then made new contributions and was given a hereditary coupon. Since then, Fei has received a huge amount of hereditary meal tickets, and three generations of old and young have worked hard one after another. In the third year of Xuande (1428 AD), Fei Zhen died. He must have left with a smile: "Children and grandchildren, my entrepreneurial task has been successfully completed, just for you to be prosperous and honorable." You're going to have to be good......”
All right? Fei Xuan probably didn't expect that his descendants might have been infected by the tradition of Zhu Ming's royal family competing for favor and succession, either engaging in house fights by themselves or mixing with other people's house fights. Fei Zhao, the son of Fei Xuan, and the second generation of Chongxinbo, in addition to conquering Deng Mao's Seven Righteous Army and taking charge of the Governor's Mansion, were also very enthusiastic to intervene in the inheritance disputes between the descendants of Guo Ying, the lord of the early Ming Dynasty, and the Guo family, the Marquis of Wuding, accepted the benefits of Guo Ying's second grandson Guo Zhao, and came forward to slander Guo Ying's grandson Guo Chang, in an attempt to help Guo Zhao seize the title. As a result, the truth was revealed, and the actual position of the Governor's Mansion was lost—the title and food were not affected. What's even more troublesome is that just as Li Shimin and Zhu Di's history of seizing the heirs made false hints to their sons Li Tai and Zhu Gaoxu, Fei Zhao's actions also seriously misled his son Fei Pu. What's going on?
Fei Zhao and his original wife (name unknown) did not have any children - given the high mortality rate of infants and young children in ancient times, it may also be that they failed to grow up**, and the original wife also died before Fei Zhao. An unknown concubine of Fei Zhao gave birth to a son, Fei Pu, who grew up healthy and achieved the status of the eldest son. Fei Pu is looking forward to inheriting his father's title and family property in the future.
However, Fei Zhao was unwilling, and remarried Zhu Ying's daughter Zhu as his stepfamily, and was named Mrs. Chongxinbo. Although Fei Huai is a younger brother, he was born to his wife, and he is naturally a son-in-law. He is still young, weak and incompetent, and his mother Zhu is naturally in charge of family affairs. Fei Zhao's other concubine, Cao, got along well with the lady of the main room, so she assisted from the side. Fei Pu was indignant, thought about it, and felt that he had a chance: "An orphan, a young widow, isn't that at my mercy?" ”
Fei Pu recruited troops, fabricated rumors, and spread them widely: "The Zhu family is not the late father's wife at all, but just a partial concubine hired by the late father before his death, and the late father asked her to be named Mrs. Chongxinbo is a ......."Uh, no, that's what makes me dizzy, it's a big mistake. That Cao family doesn't even have the status of a concubine, just a lowly maid. "The Zhu family did not abide by the women's way, and recruited the family Ding Wang Wen to the bedroom to hide, and the master and servant hooked up and became adulterous, singing every night! "The Zhu family stepped on two boats with one foot, raising the little white-faced Li Rui in the outsourcing, openly and secretly, and the face of my old Fei family for several lifetimes was lost by her! "Zhu's father, Zhu Ying, and his maid Cao's family should join forces and transfer the property of my Fei family. If my Fei family's wealth, house, grange, and family are not moved to her mother's house by the Zhu family, my word 'Zhao' will be ......written upside down”
It is said that there is a name and a surname, a nose and an eye, and the most important thing is to deny the identity of the Zhu family, and then deny the identity of Fei Huai's son-in-law. Assuming that Fei Huai is not a son-in-law, Chongxinbo's succession should be determined in accordance with the principle of "no heir, no heir", then of course it is Fei Pu's turn to attack the lord!
While Fei Pu was making **, he broke into the Zhu family and made a noise and asked for property. Zhu sternly refuted his lies and refused to budge. Fei Pu was annoyed and ashamed, and scolded Zhu's "dog woman" in public, pushed and shoved, and "resisted" Zhu on the "shadow wall" with one palm. Cao came over and pulled Fei Pu and persuaded her to calm down, but Fei Pu gave her two slaps with his backhand: "Cao, what are you?" Is it worthy to talk to this son? ”
When the scandal spread, Youji intervened and conducted an investigation. It was found out that the Zhu family was indeed Fei Zhao's wife who was officially married through the three media and six rites procedures before his death, and was not a concubine. Zhu received the seal from Mrs. Chongxinbo, which is beyond reproach in terms of content and form. The Cao family also has the status of a concubine, not a maid. Fei Pu lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, and Yousi decided to give him some punishment for framing his mother-in-law Zhu and his mother-in-law Cao. The case file was presented to Dali Temple, and Lord Wang Qi of Dali Temple quit: "Is it enough to hit the board?" Now that he has beaten his mother-in-law, why do you turn a blind eye? The son beats the mother, and he should be beheaded! ”
Next, let's imagine a multi-character dialogue after Fei Zhao arrives in another world and reunites with his father Fei Zhao:
Fei Zhao: "Son, you are so confused! ”
Fei Pu: "Woo woo, Dad, I don't want to learn from you!" I thought my father encouraged me to win the heir, otherwise why would you help Guo Zhao fight for the title? ”
Fei Zhao: "You are stupid, I help others fight, it doesn't mean that I want my children and brothers to fight." As he spoke, he turned around and asked Fei Xuan: "Dad, did you say yes?" ”
Fei Xuan: "Hey, you can't ask me, do you?" I've never done anything like that. Fei Zhao couldn't help but go over the top of Fei Xuan's head and peek at Zhu Di's dragon claw - oh no, Yuzu.
Well, I've done that before, okay? Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui brothers on the side in distress, and frowned, "I fight with my nephew, but I don't want your children to fight for me." Parents want their children to live a good and good life - Second Brother Li, you say yes? ”
Oh, yes! Otherwise, how can future generations say, 'pity the hearts of parents in the world'! Li Shimin, who came to watch the excitement, put aside the teacup and glanced at his sons who were sitting quietly on the side, "Lao Zhu, I am not used to drinking your tea, I still like to drink 'five-spiced drink', cough cough cough ......."”
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and in the end they are all in vain. Alas! February** Dynamic Incentive Program
