Let's talk about the story of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His life is an inspirational blockbuster, from a peasant boy to a ninety-five honor, this counterattack script is more exciting than the TV series. He not only overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, but also made the Ming Dynasty prosperous, which made people admire.
But when it comes to the succession to the throne, Lao Zhu Ke really has a headache. His grandson Zhu Yunwen has a gentle personality and is very filial, and Lao Zhu has high hopes for him, thinking that this child will inherit his mantle in the future and take care of the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner. Lao Zhu personally taught him to read and write, and taught him the way to govern the country, hoping that he could become a benevolent monarch.
But on the other hand, his fourth son Zhu Di is a ruthless character. Wen can put pen to peace in the world, Wu can go to Ma Dingkun, this buddy's ambition and talent, that is not lost to his father at all. Lao Zhu knew in his heart that if Zhu Di, this kid, became the emperor, maybe he could bring the Ming Dynasty to a new height.
But Lao Zhu, what he pays attention to is a rule and a tradition. He felt that the throne had to be passed on to his eldest son, and although Zhu Yunwen was young, he had a pure bloodline and was a suitable candidate. Although Zhu Di is capable, he is not the eldest son after all, and this matter is always a little bit of something in Lao Zhu's heart.
In the end, Lao Zhu still decided to let Zhu Yunwen **. He thought that this child was benevolent and filial, and he would definitely be a good emperor in the future. As for Zhu Di, Lao Zhu asked him to go to the frontier and be his general in the expedition to the north, using his bravery to defend the country. In this way, it is possible to maintain the harmony of the family and ensure the stability of the country.
But who knows, this turned out to be a bit unexpected. Zhu Di was ambitious, and he could be forced, and finally launched the Battle of Jingjing, ousted Zhu Yunwen from power, and became the emperor himself. As soon as this happened, Lao Zhu's plan was all in vain, but his original intention was still for the long-term development of the Ming Dynasty.
We have to say that Lao Zhu's inheritance problem is really embarrassing. If he could have foreseen what was going to happen at that time, he might have reconsidered. But history is such an interesting thing, and it is always full of variables. Looking back today, we can only sigh that Game of Thrones is really complicated.
At that time, Lao Zhu had to think about not only the future of the family, but also the fate of the entire country. He had to find an heir who could carry on his legacy and stabilize the country's power. It's not something that can be done by just someone. He had to weigh, he had to think, he had to make decisions that were in the best interest of the country.
Zhu Yunwen, although this child is young, Lao Zhu takes a fancy to his benevolence and filial piety. In those days, benevolence and filial piety were a treasure. Lao Zhu feels that this child can become a benevolent monarch in the future, so that the country can be stable and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. And Zhu Di, although brave, Lao Zhu may be worried that his ambitions will undermine the stability of the country.
So Lao Zhu finally chose Zhu Yunwen. He hoped that Zhu Yunwen could inherit his benevolent government and let the Ming Dynasty continue to prosper. And Zhu Di, Lao Zhu asked him to go to the frontier and defend the country with his bravery. Such an arrangement can not only satisfy Zhu Di's ambitions, but also ensure the security of the country's borders.
But history is always full of surprises. Zhu Di's later actions made Lao Zhu's plans all come to naught. The Battle of Jingyan, this civil war, not only caused the Ming Dynasty to experience a turmoil, but also made Lao Zhu's succession plan encounter unprecedented challenges.
However, we have to say that Lao Zhu's consideration of inheritance is still worthy of respect. He made a difficult choice for the sake of the future of the country and for the harmony of the family. Although the result was not as he expected, his original intention was for the long-term development of the Ming Dynasty.
Let's look back at this history today, not only for the sake of emotion, but also for learning. The inheritance of power, the future of the family and the country, these are all questions that need to be pondered. In the game of power, how to make decisions that are most beneficial to the country and the people is always a challenge for leaders.
