A generation of Renzong Zhu Gaochi, why Zhu Gaochi reigned for less than a year can be rated as Renzong's name in history.
Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, as the only emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty who was evaluated as Renzong, what was his life like.
When Zhu Di had not yet fought the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Gaochi, as Zhu Di's eldest son, as the son of Yan Wangfu of Yan Wangfu, and was the son of Yan Wang appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor. And at the time of the Battle of Jingyan, it was also Zhu Gaochi who ensured the logistics support of King Yan's army all the way.
In Jingjing, he did not give his father direct and effective help on the battlefield like his younger brother, but he was active in holding Beijing in the rear and resisting the impact of Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops, daring to let others do things, and only using 10,000 horses to help Zhu Di, the king of Yan, stabilize the rear, which is conducive to his continued advance in the front without any worries.
Speaking of Zhu Gaochi, anyone who has watched the TV series "Daming Fenghua" knows that Zhu Gaochi is a fat character, which makes people look mediocre, but in fact, he is dignified and quiet by nature, recognizable in words and deeds, and likes to read. Because of his elegance and benevolence, he was deeply loved by the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. However, because Zhu Gaochi likes to be quiet and averse to move, he is obese and has difficulty moving. It always takes two chamberlains to help him act, and he always stumbles, so for Zhu Di, the martial artist of Ming Chengzu who has loved martial arts all his life, he doesn't like this son.
Zhu Di also has a second son named Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di is very satisfied with Zhu Gaoxu, on the battlefield, Zhu Gaochu fought bloodily.
In the process of rebellion, Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongli, actually hesitated whether to change Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince. Because Zhu Gaoxu is too similar to himself. Not only is he handsome, but he is also good at military warfare, and he is an out-and-out talent.
But from ancient times to the present, it is the primogeniture inheritance system, and as long as Zhu Gaochi does not die, Zhu Gaochu cannot be made the crown prince. At that time, when Zhu Di was wandering between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, he asked Xie Jin, a university scholar, how to choose. Of course, Xie Jin was on Zhu Gaochi's side, so he told Zhu Di three words: Good saint grandson.
Zhu Zhanji is the son of Zhu Gaochi, a very smart child, who has been cultivated and favored by Zhu Di since he was a child. In other words, although Zhu Gaochi is a little mediocre, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di's grandson, is an extremely smart person. Choosing Zhu Gaochi is equivalent to choosing Zhu Zhanji, why not?
Because of this, Zhu Di made up his mind and still insisted on Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince.
In the TV series, Zhu Di knew that his limit was approaching when he conquered Vala for the fifth time. Repeatedly seeking a way to win for Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui mastered the 3,000 battalions and the five military battalions, and Zhu Di thought of many ways but did not think of a way to help Zhu Zhanji win. When Zhu Zhanji learned that Zhu Di wanted to pass the throne to Zhu Gaoxu, he said, "Whoever has blood will fight for it." "I don't want to live this life in humiliation." In this way, Zhu Gaoxu also missed the opportunity to become emperor.
Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne with the year name Hongxi. The reason why Zhu Zhanji was able to redress the rebellion of his second and third uncles was because of Zhu Gaochi.
The TV series also said that when Zhu Zhanji captured Zhu Gaoxu, he said, "Even grandpa didn't find a way to help me win you, but my father did it, and it took eight months."
During his reign, Zhu Gaochi adopted a series of lenient policies, which made the politics of the Ming Dynasty move from the strictness of Hongwu and Yongle to stability. Due to the relatively clear policies and the relatively relaxed contradictions, there was no large-scale peasant revolt during this period. The country remained stable, and Renzong's measures laid the foundation for the later policy of Seonjong's rule, which led to the emergence of the "rule of Renxuan".
Among them, the more famous is that Zhu Gaochi's reign resolved the hidden dangers of the Battle of Jingyan and redressed unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. After ascending the throne, he immediately went to review the relevant cases, and rehabilitated those who had been wronged and the courtiers who were innocently executed one by one, which not only corrected his father's mistakes, reduced a large number of contradictions, but also used this incident to establish his prestige well.
In order to avoid the decline of the world, Zhu Gaochi made a decisive attack, severely cracked down on these meritorious aristocratic groups, and established relevant laws and regulations, severely punished those who violated the law and committed crimes, and did not take into account the situation to tolerate them, such a vigorous and resolute approach has achieved good results, reconciled the contradictions between the courtiers and the courtiers, and indirectly maintained the stability of the Ming Dynasty regime.
At the same time, the reduction of forced labor taxes and the introduction of relevant policies for the development of people's livelihood have rapidly improved the living conditions of the people in a short period of time, and the mess left by his father has gradually been well changed.
It's a pity that Zhu Gaochi has only been in power for less than a year, but don't look at his short reign, because he has made many decisions that are beneficial to the people and has sought great benefits for the people, so he is deeply loved by the people, and it is natural that he can go down in history.
