After the death of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will be buried in the tomb of the Ming Emperor, why the 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but only the 13 tombs of the Ming Dynasty, where are the other 3 emperors buried?
1. Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the incompetence of the ruling class, the corrupt officials connived at the people to loot the people, resulting in the people's misery, and the people rose up against the Yuan.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a poor peasant. In 1343, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown of Haozhou suffered drought, locust plague and plague one after another, and the people had no harvest, but the government turned a deaf ear, resulting in the tragic death of a large number of people, and Zhu Yuanzhang's father, brother and mother also died in this disaster.
After the death of his parents, Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk in order to survive. A few years later, after Zhu Yuanzhang's hair Xiaotang and Guo Zixing's rebel army became a thousand households, he wrote a letter to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to defect to Guo Zixing. Under Guo Zixing's account, Zhu Yuanzhang made many military exploits and soon won Guo Zixing's appreciation. In order to win over Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing also married his adopted daughter Ma (Queen Ma) to Zhu Yuanzhang, although Guo Zixing and Zhu Yuanzhang later became enemies, Zhu Yuanzhang took Tang He, Xu Da, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen, Wu Liang and Wu Zhen and other 24 people left Guo Zixing.
After going it alone, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly grew stronger with his outstanding military and command skills, and became a prince, he destroyed Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other strong enemies, and defeated the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Yuan Dynasty and recaptured the Central Plains from the Mongols, but he did not destroy the Yuan Dynasty, and the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan Shun, fled back to the northern Mongolian steppe. In order to avoid being threatened by the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang did not build his capital in the northern city, but chose to build his capital in Nanjing in the south.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor for 31 years. In 1398, after Zhu Yuanzhang died, he was buried by his grandson Zhu Yunwen in the Ming Tomb of Zhongshan in Nanjing.
Second, Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In 1368, after Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, he appointed his eldest son Zhu Biao as the crown prince, and arranged for Li Shanchang, Xu Da and other important ministers to assist Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao is a very good ** person, but unfortunately the sky does not follow people's wishes, in 1392, Zhu Biao died one step ahead of Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Zhu Yuanzhang send a white-haired person to a black-haired person and fell into grief. After Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang needed to choose a new prince for the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang has 26 sons, and there are not a few people who have both civil and military skills, but according to the principle of primogeniture, after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang made his second son Zhu Fan the crown prince. Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was brutal and unkind, and did many evils, and Zhu Yuanzhang once angrily reprimanded him for "not knowing personnel and being as stupid as a beast". Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not want to hand over the country he had seized through nine deaths to the dim-witted, brutal and incompetent Zhu Zhang. The third son, Zhu Li, is also brutal and unkind, and is not Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite candidate for the prince. The fourth son, Zhu Di, is both wise and brave, Zhu Yuanzhang has the intention to pass the throne to Zhu Di, but passing the throne to Zhu Di may cause dissatisfaction among Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, leading to infighting among brothers, and Daming falling into civil strife.
In order to avoid fratricide, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the idea of passing on Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and made Zhu Biao's son-in-law Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson.
In 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died and was succeeded by Zhu Yunwen.
After Zhu Yunwen became the emperor, he felt that Zhu Di and other vassal kings were too powerful and threatened his throne, so he followed the advice of Qi Tai and other ministers and began to cut the domain. Zhu Yunwen's cutting of the feudal domain moved the interests of the vassal king, and finally aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and he rebelled.
In the Battle of Jingyan, although Zhu Yunwen's strength was stronger than that of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhu Yunwen made repeated mistakes, such as mistakes in deployment and employment, and finally buried a good chess. In 1402, Zhu Di broke through Nanjing and captured Emperor Jianwen's country, and Emperor Jianwen disappeared at the same time.
After Emperor Jianwen disappeared, Zhu Di declared to the outside world that Emperor Jianwen was burned to death in the palace fire, and after that, he replaced Emperor Jianwen and became the emperor, but Zhu Di was always at ease, he was afraid that one day Emperor Jianwen would suddenly appear and compete for the throne with him. He arranged for his minister Hu Hu to go to various places to secretly find Zhu Yunwen, and asked his henchman eunuch Zheng He to lead a huge fleet to the Western Ocean to find Emperor Jianwen in the Western Ocean.
Zhu Di did not find Emperor Jianwen in his life, which also made the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen a historical mystery, and he was buried in ** no one knows.
3. Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu is the seventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Qiyu is Zhu Qizhen's half-brother. Zhu Qizhen's favorite retainer Wang Zhen privately withheld the reward given to the Wara envoys, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Wara national teacher Yexian, and he used this as an excuse to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen was a eunuch and was not qualified to lead troops to fight, but he wanted to establish meritorious deeds and leave his name in history, so he began to strongly encourage Zhu Qizhen to drive the expedition in person. Zhu Qizhen was only 25 years old, when his blood was strong, so he decided to control the pro-government despite everyone's opposition, fantasizing about establishing immortality on horseback like his ancestor Zhu Di.
Zhu Qizhen set off with an army of 500,000, and there were more than 100 civil and military ministers such as the British Gong Zhang Fu, the military department secretary Kuang Yu, and the household department secretary Wang Zuo, but the dim-witted Zhu Qizhen did not let them participate in military and political affairs, but handed over all military and political affairs to Wang Zhen alone. Wang Zhen did not have any command experience or military literacy, which led to very chaotic command and dispatch of the army.
When he was about to reach the front line, Wang Zhen learned that the front-line army had suffered heavy defeats to the Warat army one after another, and was afraid that they would continue to advance north, and would be ambushed by the Warat army and put himself in a dangerous place, Wang Zhen was afraid and began to persuade Zhu Qizhen to withdraw his troops. But at this time it was too late, and after learning that the Ming army had fled in battle, he began to lead his troops to chase, and finally caught up with and defeated the Ming army at Tumubao, and captured Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong alive.
After Ming Yingzong was captured, he first wanted to use Zhu Qizhen as a bargaining chip to force Daming to cede land and pay compensation, but Daming refused, and Daming supported Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu to become the emperor, making Zhu Qizhen a worthless emperor. Yu Qian also defeated Yexian in the Battle of Beijing.
got Zhu Qizhen, but he couldn't get any benefits, which made Ye Xian very angry. In order to make changes within the Ming Dynasty, he is a good fisherman. The following year, he also put Zhu Qizhen back to Daming and persuaded him to compete with Zhu Qiyu for the throne. After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu was afraid that Zhu Qizhen would worry about his throne and put Zhu Qizhen under house arrest in Nangong. 8 years later, Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill and had no heir, so Shi Heng and others took a risk, launched a rebellion to seize the door, rescued Zhu Qizhen from Nangong, and supported him to become emperor again.
After Zhu Qizhen reascended the throne of the emperor, he was responsible for Zhu Qiyu's "unfilial piety, unkindness, unkindness, injustice, filthy virtue, and indignation of gods and men", and demoted him to "King Yuer". In 1457, after Zhu Qiyu died of illness, he was buried in Xishan, Beijing, with the rites of a prince, and was not buried in the mausoleum of the Ming Emperor.
