In this batch of secret orders, from raising sheep and horses, reclaiming land and building cities, to sending troops to fight and killing heroes, Zhu Yuanzhang personally gave directions.
Compared with the benevolent Prince Zhu Biao and the absurd King Zhu Shang of Qin, as the most powerful captaincy in the early Ming Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was not as brave and reckless as in the TV series "Landscape Month", and its limelight was taken away.
On the contrary, he is Judy's biggest competitor. If Zhu hadn't died early, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been an emperor!
Because of this, after he succeeded to the throne, he hated Zhu's descendants and suppressed them in every way.
It wasn't until Judy's three emperors died one after another that Jin Wang Fu resumed his due position.
Zhu, the king of Jin, was born in the eighteenth year of Yuan Dynasty. He was the third son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Ma Shi, the filial piety queen.
Hongwu became king of Jin in three years, and his fief was Taiyuan. In the sixth year, Hongwu was ordered to marry the daughter of Xie Chengzhi, commander of Dewey in Taiyuan, and gave birth to his eldest son Zhu Jiyi.
According to Ming Taizu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu, the king of Jin, was taught by Song Lian, a great scholar, as a teenager. He was clever and wise. Moreover, he was born with fine features, a beautiful beard, and looked around, especially among princes.
Among Zhu Yuanzhang and his five sons, Prince Zhu Biao is kind and generous, Qin Wang Zhu Shang is absurd and domineering, Zhou Wang Zhu likes medical skills, while Jin Wang Zhu and Yan Wang are similar people, both of whom are good at military affairs and ambitious.
Luo Guanzhong, a contemporary of Zhu Yuanzhang, wrote a famous saying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "If you were born in Sri Lanka, how can you be bright?" .
If Zhu, the king of Jin, had a chance to see it, he would probably sigh that "he gave birth to Jin, but he gave birth to Yan"!
Zhu, King of Jin, was less than 40 years old. He spent half his time as a prince in Nanjing and half his time as a vassal in Taiyuan, competing with the prince Judy of Beiping and making himself the most powerful vassal in the north.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu, Zhu, the king of Jin, and Zhu Shang, the king of Qin, went to fief and became princes.
Compared with married children, the second brother, the king of Jin Zhu, is a loner. His princess Xie died in Hongwu for nine years, and his son Zhu Jiyi was taken care of.
Zhu, who was full of ambition, embarked on a journey to Taiyuan alone.
At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Taiyuan suffered from war and the people's livelihood was depressed. Before Zhu left, Zhu Yuanzhang warned him to have a good rest after arriving in Taiyuan and not to overdraw the strength of the people.
However, before King Zhu Jin arrived in Taiyuan, he defeated the cook on the way. Zhu Yuanzhang heard that, hurriedly reprimanded him on the monkey:
Zhu Yuanzhang's remarks are quite meaningful. He warned the king of Jin not to make enemies with his servants casually. Judging from the final result, the king of Qin died of imperial secretary poisoning, and Wen Jian was defeated by eunuchs.
Judy, the prince of Yan, is very good at winning people's hearts. Not only did he have a high prestige among the vassal Wang Xungui, but even the eunuchs in the palace were used by him, which made Zhu very dissatisfied.
Since ancient times, it has been orderly, but the prince, as his younger brother, stole his thunder. Arrogant Zhu doesn't like the manners of the prince very much.
After arriving in Taiyuan, Zhu not only built the city and trained horses every day, but also thought about competing with the prince.
Once the king of Jin went to Beijing to appear before the court and happened to meet the prince. The king of Jin was cynical, and the prince was not to be outdone. The two brothers quarreled in public. Finally, the prince was so angry that he went straight back to Beiping.
The tension between the two brothers made Zhu Yuanzhang very headache.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang intended to let the captaincy check and balance each other, the relationship between Jin and Yan was incompatible, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not share the same room in the future.
In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the King of Jin Zhu and the Prince of Yan to crusade against the son of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
According to official records, Judy's soldiers surrendered without bloodshed, but he made a splash without spending money. Zhu Wei, the king of Jin, could not resist the enemy and got nothing. After returning, Zhu Yuanzhang gave each of his two sons one million ingots of precious banknotes.
Is it Zhu Yuanzhang's reward and punishment? According to the records in Ji Yuan Collection of Cabinet Library of Japan, this is far from the truth.
Chun Zhu, the 11th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, presented the Garden Ruiji to the King of Shu. Among them, there is a book with the Jin government, which is a letter sent by Hongwu to Zhu, the king of Jin in the twenty-third year. Chun Zhu wrote in the letter:
In this letter, it was Zhu, the king of Jin, who surrendered Nair, not the prince. Compared with Judy's official history of Ming Dynasty, the letters of Chunzhu, the king of Shu, are undoubtedly more credible.
After this war, Zhu, the king of Jin, became Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man and one of the main forces in the frontier operations of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was the Prince of Yan.
In the 25th year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao passed away. At that time, Zhu Biao's eldest son had passed away, and Zhu Jixie, the eldest son of Zhu, became the grandson of the de facto emperor.
In order to dispel the ambition of the king of Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang forced him to bring Zhu Jixie back to Taiyuan, and made Zhu Yunwen, the second son of Zhu Biao, the great-grandson of the emperor's father. At the same time, he was busy planning to clean up Huaixi.
Zhu Biao and Chang (the eldest daughter of Chang Yuchun) also have a younger son, Zhu, whose consorts are very prominent. Chang Sheng, the founding father, is his uncle, and aquamarine, the duke of Liang, is his uncle.
In order to prevent consorts from monopolizing power, Chang and Lan became the main targets of Zhu Yuanzhang's attack.
In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the founding fathers of the Song Dynasty, Sheng Feng, Fu Youde and Chang Sheng, to immediately return to Beijing to discuss, and all the military and horses in their hands were handed over to the King of Jin.
A few months later, aquamarine was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and all the avant-garde officers of his own army and government army were killed. Chang Yuchun's son Changsheng was secretly executed, and Chang's family was exiled to Yunnan. Huaixi followed the rules and was almost eliminated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
According to the tip-off sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Jin, Zhu, the king of Jin, also made great efforts in the case of aquamarine, and led troops to arrest and execute many princes, even including his own old father-in-law, Yongping Hou Xiecheng.
As mentioned above, Zhu Yuan died early with his wife Xie, and later Zhu Xu married his wife and sister. Princess Xiao Xie did not die until the reign of Xuande. I wonder how she will feel when she sees her husband catching her father.
Also suffering is Zhu's children's in-laws, that is, Fu Youde, the father-in-law of Prince Zhu Jixie.
Although he didn't die in the aquamarine case, Zhu Yuanzhang had already put him on the death list.
In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Fu Youde was sentenced to death.
The next year, the father-in-law of Zhou Wangzhu was also executed.
It was also in this year that Zhu Shang, the king of Qin, was poisoned for insulting imperial secretary.
Jin and Yan kings, Hongwu became the leader of the kings in the last years and presided over the northern military affairs.
Even Zhu Yunwen, the great grandson of the emperor, was very afraid of these two uncles.
There were seven kingdoms in the Han Dynasty and eight kings in the Jin Dynasty. It is not uncommon for members of the royal family to live in the same room.
After the death of the King of Qin, Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that the King of Jin and the Prince of Yan could check and balance each other. If one side is unfaithful, the other side can summon the king to attack.
However, in March of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, a bad news came from Shanxi and Taiyuan-Zhu suddenly died at the age of 39.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad, so he ordered Zhu to be king, and sent messengers to canonize Jin Wangshi and Zhu Jiyi as new kings, warning him that "a son should be like Li Yazi, and he should not die with it".
But it's too late.
Judy, the prince of Yan who has lost balance, is in power, and Zhu Yuanzhang's physical condition can no longer make him pave the way for the emperor's grandson.
In June of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and the great-grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne and changed his name to Wen Jian.
As soon as Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he wanted to get rid of the prince. After the five Empresses Zhou, Qi, Xiang, Dai and Min were beheaded, the Prince of Yan rose up and rebelled, which was called "Jun Qing Border".
Due to Zhu Yunwen's hard-line regime, all the princes, including Zhu Jixie, the king of Jin, chose to stand by.
Zhu Yuanzhang took great pains to make the idea of checks and balances between prisoners go up in smoke.
In the fourth year of Wen Jian, Judy, the prince of Yan, invaded Ning and proclaimed himself emperor.
Although Zhu Jixie, King of Jin, also took his family to Nanjing to congratulate his fourth uncle on his accession to the throne, as Zhu's son, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest grandson hated him and suppressed him in every way.
Zhu Jixie's younger brother, Zhu Jixie, seized the opportunity and joined other brothers to falsely accuse his eldest brother.
In the 13th year of Yongle, Zhu Jixie was deposed, and Jin named Zhu Jixie the king of Jin.
A few years later, Jin's imperial secretary was so abused by Zhu that he collectively went to Beijing to report.
Although Judy knew that Zhu Jixie was falsely accused by her younger brother, she didn't mean to rehabilitate him. He just ordered Zhu Jisub's father and son to leave Taiyuan and move to Pingyang to live, and also conferred the title of Zhu Rose, Zhu Jisub's eldest son, as King Pingyang.
In the second year of Xuande, the second son Zhu rebelled and was pacified by Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Jixie, who has close ties with Hanwang, was also accused of participating in the rebellion.
Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a letter to abolish Zhu Wei, the king of Jin, but did not canonize the new king.
Supposedly, this should be to reset Zhu Jixie, but Zhu Zhanji didn't want to go against grandpa Judy's wishes. The position of King Jin has been vacant for eight years.
During this period, Zhu Ji's family tried their best to return to Jin, but they were all refused.
In the tenth year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji passed away.
The imperial court sent envoys to Pingyang, conferring Zhu Rose, the eldest son of Zhu Jixie, as the new king.
However, just three days after the special envoy's departure, Zhu Jixie died in Pingyang at the age of 6 1, and he failed to see his son become the king of Jin.
Later, the court also restored Zhu Jiyi to the throne, made him king of Jin, and buried him in Linfen as a gift from the prince, but he was not from Taiyuan.
Although Jin has been suppressed in all aspects, with the successive death of three generations, the previous grievances have vanished. During the Wanli period more than one hundred years later, Jin was the second largest vassal after Zhou.
However, at this time, Jin had already lost the ambition and strength of his ancestors, and was just a group of parasites that eroded the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Yuanzhang in Gong Jin didn't die young, it is not clear who will be the emperor after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
It is precisely because of Zhu's early death that he got rid of the last shackles, and he can unscrupulously declare that "it is difficult to clear the border and it is difficult to be in Jing" and rise up.
If Zhu Ruo had known the spring, he might have lamented that "the destiny lies in Yan and not in gold"!
