all one's life
[Edit this paragraph]
1395, Zhu Gaochi was made the prince. He is quiet by nature, teaches by example and likes reading. Because of his elegance and kindness, he was deeply loved by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. However, because Zhu Gaochi likes quiet and is tired of moving, he is fat and inconvenient to move. He always needs two attendants to help him move, and he always stumbles. Therefore, for Zhu Di, the Ming emperor who was addicted to martial arts all his life, he didn't like this son.
Chengzu opposed Jingnan and ordered Zhu Gaochi to stay in Beijing. Zhu Gaochi united his men, successfully blocked the 500,000-strong army of his general Li Jinglong with 10,000 troops, and saved the city. This battle is of great significance to the whole south of Beijing, and it is also the most dazzling stroke of Zhu Gaochi in the south of Beijing. During this period, Emperor Wen Jian sent a letter to Zhu Gaochi, promising to seal the king and strive for Zhu Gaochi's submission to the court. Zhu Gaochi didn't read the letter after receiving it, but sent it to Chengzu intact, which failed to live up to his double spy.
Since then, because of his obesity, it is inconvenient to fight with the army, so he was left in the rear, so Zhu brought the emperor's second son to the front desk. Zhu and Zhu are quite similar, both brave and good at fighting. He has high prestige among military commanders. In the battle, he rescued Cheng Zu from danger many times. Cheng Zu also made a wish and said, "Your eldest brother is ill, and the throne will be yours in the future." After listening to this, Zhu's enthusiasm was even higher, and he made great contributions to the neutrality of Jingnan.
After Jing Nan succeeded, Judy succeeded to the throne, but she hesitated on the issue of establishing a prince. Zhu Gaochi won the support of civil servants because of his kindness and elegance. He was Yan Shizi personally selected by Mao for Judy and was the legal heir to the throne. In feudal society, this is very important; And Zhu's character is quite like brave and handsome. He made great contributions under difficult circumstances, and Cheng Zu personally made a wish to pass on the throne to him. Personally, he hopes to establish Zhu. He thinks that Zhu Gaochi is too soft-hearted and will be intimidated in the future.
But in the end, Cheng Zu made Zhu Gaochi the prince, because the cabinet system of Ming Dynasty and the feudal system of Han nationality restricted the emperor to some extent. Besides, when Zhu Gaochi was a prince, there was really no major mistake, so he was ruined. It is very important that Zhu Gaochi's eldest son, Zhu Zhanji Minhui, has an abnormal personality and is deeply loved by Judy. Jie Jin, a famous civil servant, once persuaded Chengzu with a "good grandson". Cheng Zu finally made up his mind to make Zhu Gaochi a prince in A.D. 1404.
Zhu's second son did not give in like this. He didn't want to stay in the capital and wait for an opportunity to act. First, he slandered Jie Jin, the first hero of Li Chu, who was killed a few years later. Then he privately raised many warriors. Fortunately, Queen Xu and I persuaded Zhu to cut off several guards, which made him restless. The dispute between high heat and high enthusiasm has come to an end for the time being. Unexpectedly, Cheng was killed halfway. Zhu Gaosui, the emperor's third son, plotted to kill Chengzu during his illness, and then he was called to the throne. Fortunately, someone tipped them off and disaster didn't come. Later, due to Zhu Gaochi's intercession for Zhu Gaosui, Cheng Zu finally didn't pursue it again.
In the 22nd year of Yongle (1424), 18 July, the 65-year-old Emperor Yongle died on the way to attack Beijing in the Northern Expedition. In order to avoid Zhu He taking the opportunity to make trouble, the British public servant Zhang Fu and cabinet ministers kept this secret, so the lacquerware in the general melted into a big coffin and put his body in the coffin. They still eat as usual every day and pay New Year's greetings, but. At the same time, Yang Rong and eunuch Hai Shou were sent to Beijing to report, and Zhu Gaochi immediately sent his son Zhu Zhanji out of Beijing to meet the funeral. Due to the careful arrangement of ministers, there was no rebellion in the end and the regime was able to transition smoothly.
After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he changed his country name to Hongxi and began a series of reforms. First, Zhu Gaochi pardoned the families and ancestors of the officials who were exiled to the border when he was an old minister, and allowed them to return to their original places, thus vindicating the unjust prison, which made many unjust cases like Fang Xiaoru, a loyal minister of the Wen Jian Dynasty, and the unjust cases of the Yongle Dynasty of Jie Jin rehabilitated during this period. And restore the official titles of some ministers, thus easing the contradictions within the ruling group.
Secondly, Zhu Gaochi chose wise ministers, eliminated redundant staff, and appointed Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and Bai Yang (known as Sanyang in history) as assistants. Abolish ancient castration, stop treasure ships from going to the west, and stop royal procurement of jewelry; Take Emperor Taizong as an example everywhere, modify the discipline of the Ming Dynasty, and love the people like children. He ordered tax relief, free relief to the disaster-stricken areas, and opened some mountains and rivers for farmers to fish and hunt, which changed the usual punishment of properly resettling refugees. All this has enabled the people of Hongxi Dynasty to fully recuperate and develop their productive forces in an unprecedented way. The Ming Dynasty entered a stable and powerful period, which is the so-called "rule of benevolence and propaganda"
Ideologically, he advocates Confucianism, loyalty and filial piety. During his reign, Confucianism was fully developed. Renzong also built the Hong Wen Pavilion outside Sishan Gate in Beijing, and often talked about classics and history with Confucian officials all day. Renzong is very good at remonstrance. He once gave Yang Shiqi and others a small seal to encourage them to protest. Therefore, Hongxi's politics is very clear, courtiers can express their opinions and emperors can do good deeds. Zhu Gaochi doesn't like women in the harem. There is only one person besides Queen Zhang. Queen Zhang is very virtuous and respects Zhu Gaochi. Tan Fei is also a wife. After Zhu Gaochi's death, he hanged himself as a martyr and was named Princess Congxi of Zhao Rong.
Zhu Gaochi also made important contributions to the imperial examination system. At that time, because southerners were smart and hardworking, most of the Jinshi were southerners, but northerners were simple and honest by nature, which was also an indispensable pillar of the royal family. However, northerners are not so talented. In order to ensure that northerners can pass the imperial examination, Zhu Gaochi stipulated that the system of "60 in the south and 40 in the north" was used until the Qing Dynasty.
1425 (the first year of Hongxi) May 29th. Zhu Gaochi died of a heart attack in Qin 'an Hall of the Palace. After his death, he was named Emperor Xiao Zhao, whose temple number was Renzong.
It was suggested that Injong had been in office for less than a year, so he questioned his contribution. But I didn't know that during his reign, Cheng Zu spent most of his time in the Northern Expedition, and North Korea's government affairs were always handed over to Zhu Gaochi, so he had enough time to carry out his own policies and laid a good foundation for his accession to the throne. If this period is added, Zhu Gaochi's contribution to the Ming Dynasty is beyond doubt. Ming Renzong deserves to be Zhu Gaochi's army.
