Among them, the story of the Ming Dynasty can always be talked about by later generations, and the history of power struggle and intrigue is always embarrassing. Today is the story of Zhu Quan, king of Ning. In the short-lived fate of the prince, he died at the age of 7 1 year, which is absolutely abnormal.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a man who worked very hard to govern the country. The policy of paying less taxes and recuperating laid a solid foundation for the stability and prosperity of several generations in the Ming Dynasty.
But at the same time, he was also a famous suspicious emperor. In order to avoid the fate of the downfall of the former dynasty, Ming Taizu chose to let his son lead the troops, so that the whole country belonged to his own family, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also very proud of it.
However, when Zhu Yunwen, his grandson, succeeded to the throne, his uncles became the most unstable factors in his process of stabilizing the throne, among which Judy, the prince of Yan, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, were the most troublesome. There is a saying in "Ming History" that "the prince is good at fighting and the king is good at planning", which is about these two people.
Needless to say, Judy made many expeditions to the north during his vassal period, but he caught the general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Sorin Timur, and became a formidable general. Later, it became the only successful case in the history of China where a vassal rebelled.
Zhu Quan, king of Ning, was the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty. He was born in 1378, and his mother is Zhang. Zhu Quan was clever since he was a child and was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. At the age of fifteen, he was ordered to lead the cavalry around Duoyan, which was Kitahara's nightmare.
Zhu Quan was enfeoffed to Daning City, outside xifengkou, which is an "ancient land", with Liaozuo in the east and Fu Xuan in the west, and its position is quite important. Wang Ning often needs to defend the border with his brothers and slowly make Zhu Quan grow up.
At that time, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, also had a certain guard power, saying that "80,000 armor and 6,000 wagons". The three guards under control are brave and good at fighting. Wang Ning is also in a high position at a young age and has great glory.
However, Zhu Quan's simple life as a vassal will eventually come to an end. With his accession to the throne, various forces were ready to move, and the embattled atmosphere forced him to have the idea of separatist princes, laying the groundwork for the next brothers to turn against each other.
After Zhu Yunwen acceded to the throne, naturally, he could not allow decentralization, and soon began to cut the vassal. Judy naturally refused to accept it. From the beginning, he pretended to be crazy, and then he turned against Zhu Yunwen directly, waging war in the name of Jun Qing, which is known as the Battle of Jingnan.
The more the little emperor urged, the more Zhu Quan had to wait and see. After all, the shadow of cutting Francisco not long ago has not dissipated. Later, the little emperor became angry from embarrassment and removed the control of Zhu Quan, Mongolia, Wuliangha and Sanwei, which also became an important reason why Zhu Quan completely turned to Judy.
Contrary to the little emperor, at this time, Judy, the prince of Yan, disguised herself and single-handedly killed Wang Ning. After some crying, on the one hand, he said that he rebelled because he had to, but on the other hand, he quietly contacted the senior generals of Duo Yan Sanwei.
When Zhu Quan saw his brother off in the suburbs, Judy suddenly challenged him, kidnapped Zhu Quan, and coerced Ning Wang's wife and children, forcing Zhu Quan to stand on his side. Zhu Quan had no choice but to agree.
This incident became a turning point in Zhu Quan's life, and the power of many words and three flavors was finally attributed to Judy. But in the final analysis, gossiping is actually controlled rather than mastered by Wang Ning, and several parties naturally have their own interests to consider, so it is not surprising that Judy can buy him off.
Later, the talented Zhu Quan also drafted a campaign for the Prince, and at this time, Judy also hypocritically said the empty promise that "when things are done, the world will be divided". With the blessing of three flavors and many swallows, the army was on a roll and captured the city. In the fourth year of Wen Jian, Nanjing City fell, and Judy, the prince of Yan, changed her country name and proclaimed herself emperor.
They all say, "a sly rabbit dies and a running dog cooks." After the world settled down, Zhu Quan also knew that his brother's "sharing the world equally" was just empty talk, so he set off for the fief. In the choice of fief, Judy did not give him the right to choose, but decided that Zhu Quan would stay in Nanchang.
Besides, Judy didn't give him a vassal mansion, but put it in the official office of Jiangxi Chief Secretary. Judy was so afraid of this brother of Wen Tao Wu Lue that he arranged spies to watch him. Zhu Quan Yi's family had no choice but to be curled up.
However, such humbleness did not stop the emperor's suspicion. Soon, someone reported Zhu Quanxing's witchcraft curse, and some studies thought it was arranged by Judy to remind and suppress it. Although it went away, it had a great influence on Zhu Quan's heart.
Since then, Zhu Quan, who was once politically resourceful, completely chose to be content with the status quo, devoted himself to studying on the guqin, invited the scribes again and again, talked and laughed with scholars, had no contact with Ding Bai, and even began to seriously study Taoist cultivation.
Unexpectedly, although Zhu Quan has been unhappy in politics, after he devoted himself to literature, temperament, opera and Taoism in the second half of his life, he inadvertently turned himself into a rare all-round prince in the Ming Dynasty.
In literature, he wrote Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Bolun and other works, and created a large number of dramatic works. Taihe Yin Zhengpu is the earliest existing score of zaju in China, and it is also an important theoretical work in the history of Chinese opera.
Zhu Quan, who lived for the Six Emperors, can't say that fate gave him an opportunity, but Zhu Quan was calm and indifferent, and finally did not choose to take the road of power struggle.
Although after Judy's death, Zhu Quan also wrote a letter to Renzong to change the fief, but it was rejected. Undeterred Zhu Quan asked to give him some fields, and it was no use. In the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Quan, king of Ning, died at the age of 7 1.
Zhu Quan's life is full of twists and turns. When he was young, he showed his edge. Later, he was taken in by his brother. In the end, he can only indulge in Dan pills as a comfort, which makes him look very timid in life.
However, in the long run, the Ming emperor died early and was beheaded, but he died badly. However, after six generations of throne changes, Zhu Quan became the longest-lived prince, and made great achievements in literature and art, so it was a kind of happiness.
It is said that those who know the times are heroes, and personal strength is often very small in the times. Only by finding your correct position can you finally reap the happiness of life.
