Chapter 36: The Bloody Dispute for the Prince's Throne (Asking for Recommendation)
"Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?"
As a modern scholar, especially a "Ming Dynasty master", Wu Erhong certainly knows that the vigorous battle for the throne between Zhu Gaochi, the father of Zhu Zhanji, a handsome little royal guy, and his younger brother Zhu Gaoxu, that is, the two sons of Emperor Yongle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is only such a short passage left in the history books, but who can really empathize with the real treacherous, love and hatred in the text?
Only like Erhong now, in that era, did she know a lot of real stories that were too late or would not be recorded in the history books......
Zhu Di's eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, likes to be quiet and disgusted, is obese, is a big fat man of more than 200 pounds, and has difficulty moving. He always had to be supported by two chamberlains, and he stumbled when he walked, but he was elegant, erudite, and deeply loved by Wenchen, and the majority of the court supported him, and even Queen Xu, who was born to a mother, also firmly advocated Zhu Gaochi.
For Zhu Di, who has been fond of martial arts all his life, of course he doesn't like this big fat man.
Zhu Di's second son, Zhu Gaoxu, is brave in battle, has a high prestige among the generals, and has made great contributions in the entire Jingjing, Zhu Di himself feels that there is only this son, "Yingguo is like me".
At that time, Qiu Fu, the prince of Qi State, and Wang Ning, the concubine, were also optimistic about Zhu Gaoxu, and often praised his merits in front of Zhu Di, thinking that only Zhu Gaochu was more suitable for the position of prince.
However, at the beginning of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's ascension to the throne, in order to avoid future generations competing for the throne, the "primogeniture inheritance system" was established early.
Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son born to Empress Xu and is the only legal heir to the throne according to the "primogeniture inheritance system".
Between "legal" and "appropriate", Zhu Di, who has always been decisive in killing, has also become indecisive.
In fact, Zhu Di is not the first emperor who is trapped in "establishing a long and virtuous heir" or "establishing virtue and virtue". The more wise and capable the monarch is, the more cautious he is in choosing his successor to the throne.
Because, they always want to choose an heir who can be as good as themselves, or even better than themselves, to continue their prosperity, but it often backfires.
Not to mention anything else, you look at Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, although he knew that the fourth son of the emperor Li Ke was more suitable to inherit the country, but in order to comfort the eldest grandson and queen, he still set up his eldest son Li Chengqian, and later regretted it, and set up the prince and abolished the prince several times in his life.
In the end, he was dazzled, and before closing his eyes, he hurriedly chose the most unfortunate Li Zhi, this little son, except for the strong color heart, everything else was weak, and he dared to cheat with his father and the emperor's little wife in front of the emperor's sickbed, and finally robbed the country by martial artists.
Not to mention, the "nine sons seizing the heir" caused by the delay of Emperor Kangxi against the crown prince......
The so-called authorities are fans! The longer the emperor delayed the matter of establishing the prince, the greater the trouble.
The battle for the crown prince, the two factions of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu, has reached a white-hot level. However, the emperor did not express his position for a long time, and it seemed that he was about to change from the mode of "secret fighting" to "open contention".
But this fierce battle for the arrow on the string later became settled because of a sentence.
And this sentence is only three words: "Good saint grandson!" But it has achieved the effect of a word.
The person who said this was the famous Wenchen Xie Jin at that time. He was a famous prodigy in the history of the Ming Dynasty, famous for his quick wit.
It is said that when the queen was happy, Zhu Di asked Xie Jin to compose a poem, and Xie Jin's poem said: "The king descended the golden dragon last night,"
Zhu Di said, it's a girl.
Xie Jin immediately said: "Turn into Chang'e and go down to the ninefold." ”
Zhu Di sighed: It's a pity that he died.
Xie Jin continued: "It's expected that the world can't stay,"
Zhu Di said, throwing it into the pond.
Xie Jin finally chanted: "Turn over and jump into the Crystal Palace." ”
In the heart of Yao Qinghua, a scholar, this Xie Jin can be said to be the earliest joker in history. For example, in the later Stephen Chow movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", Tang Bohu wrote poems:
"This woman is not a man,
The Nine Heavenly Fairies descend to the earth,
All children and grandchildren are thieves,
Steal the peach and offer it to the mother. ”
This kind of poetic technique such as brain teasers is completely stealing from the predecessors. If this Xie Jin was born in modern times, he would casually chant a golden sentence, and he would definitely go all over WeChat, Weibo, and explode the circle of friends.
Such a genius-level joker, of course, can hit the nail on the head.
Everyone in the palace knows that on the day Zhu Zhanji was born, Zhu Di, the imperial grandfather of King Yan, once had a dream in which he dreamed that his father, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, gave him a big gui.
Dagui symbolizes power, the emperor gave Dagui to Zhu Di, just to explain that he wanted to hand over the country to him, Zhu Di woke up and was recalling the scene in the dream, and suddenly someone reported that the crown princess gave birth.
Zhu Di immediately realized that the scene in the dream was reflected in his grandson's body? He immediately ran to see his grandson, and saw that the newborn Zhu Zhanji looked very much like himself, and his face was heroic. Zhu Di was very happy after seeing it, and this incident also played a very role in his determination to launch the Battle of Jingjing.
It seems that it is precisely because of the genius joker Xie Jin, who knows the position of the emperor's grandson in Zhu Di's heart, that he used these three words of advice to make the position of the prince final.
It can be said that other princes will become princes in the future because of the shadow of their father who inherited the crown prince's throne.
But for Zhu Zhanji, it was precisely because he, the imperial grandson, shaded his father that the imperial grandfather Zhu Di made up his mind to pass on the crown prince to Zhu Gaochi.
Speaking of which, this battle for the crown prince is really a bit bloody.
In the second year of Yongle, Zhu Di officially established his eldest son Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince and Zhu Zhanji as the emperor's grandson. In history, there are only two people who have been officially canonized as the emperor's grandson, and Zhu Zhanji is one of them.
Now that the crown prince has been decided, Zhu Di has to be ruthless to Zhu Gaoxu and let him leave Nanjing and go to Yunnan, a fiefdom far away from the mountains and roads.
But how could Zhu Gaoxu, who was young and vigorous at that time, be willing to give up?
The day after the announcement of the inauguration, in the Fengtian Palace, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly rushed in like the wind, pounced, knelt in front of Zhu Di, and his voice was full of indignation: "Father, the son will never go to Yunnan." On the battlefield that day, my father personally promised that the throne was mine, why did he let me leave the capital today? ”
"Gao Xu, the ministers all said that you have a rough personality and a short temper, even if you become an emperor in the future, you must be a tyrant, I still don't believe it, I just saw you talk, and your temper on the battlefield has not changed! I don't regret my current choice. ”
Zhu Di sat on the Jinluan Palace, coldly looking down at his son who was kneeling under the throne.
"Father, I think that back then, on the battlefield, your sons accompanied you through so many lives and deaths, thanks to God's blessing, you picked up a life, but now you want me to drag this injured body, but thousands of miles away in Yunnan, does my father hope that I had better die in the poor mountains and rivers of Yunnan and never come back, so that you don't have to feel guilty about me?"
(Dear friends, this royal dispute is very far away from us, in other words, is such a temperamental Han King dead this time?) Please listen to the next decomposition, haha, this storyteller is thirsty, dear, enjoy a ticket, ask for a recommendation, ask for a collection, ask for a reward. )
