The ending of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu is revealed, a rare way to die, and the history is unforgettable
Gao Xu is the second son of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, strong and strong, good at riding and shooting. Yan Fan's soldiers came to the city, broke it, and made meritorious contributions. And Renzong also believes in the Qing Palace that the sex is strict and soft, the body is thick enough, and Gao Xu's body is light, which is also suitable for change.
In the royal family, it is very likely that there is a possibility of fighting with every member of the royal family, after all, the throne is only the prince, and there are many princes, and there are many princes, and the power is running in the middle of their bodies to fight for power and profit, so it is very common for siblings to fight for power and profit on the wall.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in less than a century, there were several military coups. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, the crown prince Zhu Biao died early, in order to make up for Zhu Biao's regret that he did not have an eldest son, Zhu Yuanzhang canonized Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen in advance, which is equivalent to the heir to the throne from one generation to the next.
However, the emperor's fourth son, Zhu Di, was not convinced, and when Zhu Yunwen ** clan, he used the excuse of standing on the side of the emperor and launched the Battle of Jingjing. In the four-year-long Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di won the victory and ascended to the supreme throne, becoming the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
That's right"Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans"。The son saw his father's success, and even began to imitate his father wholeheartedly, but it ended in failure, so he had to do everything he could to die, and this unfortunate person was Zhu Gaoxu.
So, what does the story look like? Let's talk about it today.
Han King Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu was born in Beiping in 1380 to Empress Xu, so he is considered a direct descendant. Historically, Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi was a benevolent and upright person, but Zhu Gaochu was the opposite of his brother and very similar to his father Zhu Di.
Since childhood, Hongwu, the son of Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhou kings, studied in Beijing all the year round, but not only did not like to study, but also often entangled, the ancients"Three-year-old looks big", maybe Zhu Gaoxu's brave and impulsive character is doomed at this time.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, his grandson Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and began to reduce the blood feud to ensure his rule. This policy worked for everyone, but Zhu Di was not impressed, so he launched a pacification campaign.
In this battle, Zhu Di conquered the city of Nanjing in four years, won the final victory, and became the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Zhu Di's accession to the throne was good, he should not have passed on his Tao to the next generation, but this did not prevent his son from following his example.
Although Zhu Di is a rebel general who seized the throne, Zhu Gaoxu has always admired him, in the eyes of his son, his father is a hero of the world, and the throne of the Ming Dynasty should have belonged to Zhu Di.
In the battle of Jingwu, in order to let his father Zhu Gaoxu always take the lead, he followed his father to the city of Nanjing, and made great achievements for Zhu Di to fight the world. We all know that Aboriginal people respect"Primogeniture", as this helped to stabilize the dynasty.
However, Zhu Di wanted to make Zhu Gaochu the crown prince, and his hard work and undue efforts to fight the world should also be rewarded accordingly, so he said to Zhu Gaochu on the battlefield:"Do it well, your eldest brother is not in good health after all! "
The meaning of this sentence is very clear, your eldest brother is not in good health, he may die early, before this you are the eldest son, and the world of the Ming Dynasty is also yours, such a sentence aroused Zhu Gaoxu's desire for the throne, and also buried the root of the bane on the road to death in the future.
This kind of abandonment of the primogeniture system will obviously bring him trouble, and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di can only understand the reason, so he did not keep his promise until his death, which made Zhu Gaoxu's heart empty.
Zhu Di, the former Zhu Gaoxu has become a vassal king, he is not only the same status as his father, but also thinking about his own status! His father made great achievements in the struggle against the world, and he was only gained by blood and fire, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future.
Although Zhu Di may have been blessed when he was alive and enjoyed two years of peace, shouldn't his younger brother Zhu Gaochi face the same situation as his father when he ascended to the throne after his father's death?
If you think about it carefully, what Zhu Gaochu is afraid of in his heart is not the sunset, but that Zhu Gaochi is his brother, we are matriarchal compatriots whose blood is thicker than water, and he also believes that his brother or himself will not be harmed, and this is indeed the case.
Inherit. The twenty-two-year-old Yongle Emperor Zhu Di died of illness on the way back from the Northern Expedition, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi under the palace system ascended the throne as emperor.
But after Zhu Gaochi found out, he did not defend his younger brother, but raised his salary, rewarded tens of thousands of treasures, and named his son king. Zhu Gaoxu was terrified, and when he saw his younger brother like this, he gave up resistance and handed everything over to God, according to God's arrangement, it didn't matter whether he was dead or alive.
Facts show that Zhu Gaochi did not participate in the killing of Zhu Gaochu, in fact, the reason is very simple, Zhu Gaochi himself is a kind character, he is not the kind of person who does not care about the feelings of others.
Zhu Gaoxu survived, and his inner words fell to the ground in one go, and it was no problem for the eldest brother to sit on the throne and be a rich prince.
As the saying goes:"There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck"。In 1425, just a few months after the death of Ming Chengzu Zhu Gaochi, the abdication of Zhu Gaochu, the former Ming Chengzu, rekindled the flame of hope.
At that time, the crown prince Zhu Zhanji came back from outside to ascend the throne and become emperor, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt that the opportunity had come, so he secretly began to compete for the throne. According to historical records, Zhu Gaoxu planned to kill Zhu Zhanji, but failed to do so due to various reasons.
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he returned to Beijing to claim the throne, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but feel like a knife when he saw the hopeless throne, as if he had lost his demeanor as a general, but the failure of the assassination did not stop his ambition to ascend the throne.
At this time, he thought of his father: Zhu Di did not win the throne on the side of the Qing monarch in the Battle of Jingjing. So, why can't he follow his father in another attempt to quell the rebellion? The situation is very similar now as it was back then.
With this thought, Zhu Gaochu began his path of death, and the reason why it is said to be the path of death is because the opponent that Zhu Gaochu found for himself and the opponent that Emperor Yongle faced were not at all of the same gravity level.
He thought that Zhu Zhanji was the little emperor Zhu Yunwen, but in fact, he didn't see Zhu Zhanji as a cricket and relied on Zhu Zhanji very much, but everyone knows when to do things and when to do things.
Zhu Zhanji has never slackened his management of the country. He also founded the prosperous dynasty and was well versed in the art of power and scheming, so he also created the system of celebrant supervisors, that is, to involve eunuchs in political affairs.
Let the eunuchs and ministers go to death, let Zhu Zhanji sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, isn't such a clever king? Zhu Zhanji's military with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di may not be comparable, but the gap will not be too big, Zhu Gaoxu chose the wrong opponent this time, but he is also doomed to failure.
Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, his uncles Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanji were also very generous, especially caring for the former. Whenever Zhu Gaoxu made a suggestion, Zhu Zhanji would accept it in principle and thank him.
Zhu Zhanji's overtures made Zhu Gaoxu disrespectful to his younger brother, and even thought that his nephew's doing this was a sign of weakness and incompetence, so he became more arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and even secretly gathered troops and horses to rebel.
In August 1426, Zhu Gaoxu rebelled and led his retinue to threaten Beijing. Zhu Gaoxu is a strong man, but he lacks courage and strategy. He replaced Zhu Zhanji as Zhu Yunwen's assistant.
He thought that his rebellion plan had been successfully completed and no one would know about it again, but unfortunately Zhu Zhanji had already realized his ambitions, and everything he did in his early years was to catch him.
When Zhu Gaochi rebelled, Zhu Zhanji did not follow the advice of his ministers. His march was extremely fast, and he soon reached the bottom of Zhu Gaochi's capital, and it was not until the soldiers defending the city broke the news that His Majesty had arrived, and Zhu Gaochi felt a chill in his back.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was full of regret in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, he could only choose this way to solve today's problems, and in the end, this rebellion was nipped in the bud, and Zhu Gaoxu handed over his nephew.
Zhu Zhanji felt that it was very difficult to arrest Zhu Gaoxu, on the one hand, the civil and military officials wanted him to kill Zhu Gaoxu, and on the other hand, Zhu Gaochu was his uncle, and as a nephew, he should not kill his uncle.
As a result, Zhu Zhanji demoted Zhu Gaoxu to the rank of commoner, and other major leaders involved in the uprising were expelled or killed. From a certain point of view, Zhu Gaoxu can be regarded as the end of his life, at least he can enjoy his old age in peace.
But Zhu Gaoxu didn't know if the rope was wrong, in fact, he began to prepare for his own death. One day, Zhu Zhanji visited Zhu Gaoxu's home. Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't know how to stumble Zhu Zhanji, but Zhu Zhanji was actually thinking, which was obviously a provocation to the emperor.
Zhu Zhanji had the heart to kill Zhu Gaoxu, after this incident, he no longer hid, he beckoned a few soldiers to tie up Zhu Gaoxu, and then threw him into the big table, set it on fire, and then forced the big table to the ground, and Zhu Gaochu was burned alive in the charcoal fire inside.
Although Zhu Gaoxu did not ascend to the throne of Sejong, he lived for a thousand years and died a well-deserved death. Unfortunately, his family was involved in Chu's rebellion and were executed one by one.
If a person really dies, the entire family will be affected, a generation of Han King Zhu Gaoxu fell, the family perished, and the ending is embarrassing and emotional, but there will be some guilt more or less.
