In 1402 AD, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, invaded the city of Nanjing, and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of Jianwen, was also unfortunate in this "self-directed and self-staged feudal cutting movement"; The success of the "Battle of Jingyan" finally ended with Zhu Di's ascension to the throne.
In addition to Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin and others, other ministers would rather die than surrender, such as Tie Xuan, the political envoy of Shandong who was put into a hot pot, and Fang Xiaoru, a doctor of literature from the Hanlin Academy who was exterminated in the "Ten Clans"; Why would these people rather pay the price of their lives than surrender to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di?
These former Jianwen ministers have been appreciated and promoted by Emperor Jianwen, and Zhu Yunwen has the grace of knowing them; The so-called "loyal ministers don't care about the two masters", it is this truth, if you are grateful to the old master, you don't care about life and death.
Zhu Di's ascension to the throne was seized by force, and for them, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was a rebellious minister and thief; Assisting such an unjustifiable emperor must be unacceptable to Jianwen's former ministers.
The reason why Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen lost the Ming Dynasty was not because of his ability to govern, but because he was too merciful and too eager for quick success, plus Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, killed all the generals who could fight well, so that Jianwen once fell into the dilemma of having no successor, so he could not defeat Zhu Di, who had been in a hundred battles. If Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen did not cut the domain, would Zhu Di, the king of Yan, still be able to sit on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor?
