After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, the whole person suddenly became decadent, and he was even more disheartened, the failure of the elixir purification was only one of his blows, and more importantly, the remaining poisonous elixir was eaten by his eldest son, and this consequence was unimaginable. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of May 1392, perhaps because he ate too much corpse pill at one time, in less than two months, the body of the crown prince Zhu Biao underwent a corpse transformation, and only ten days later, he died violently in bed.

After this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang's dream of immortality finally woke up, but the price was that the prince died violently, and he couldn't afford to be sick.

After the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang set up his son Zhu Yunwen as the eldest grandson of the emperor, in late June 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness in the dragon bed, and the eldest grandson of the emperor Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne at the age of twenty-one, that is, the later Emperor Jianwen.

However, the aftermath of immortality has only begun.

After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, he began to cut the feudal kings in order to strengthen his power. Although the major vassal kings were not angry, they could not escape under the power of Long, so they had no choice but to hand over their military power and return to the fiefdom to be a prince of peace.

Zhu Di, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, not only won unanimous praise from many ministers in the court, but also Zhu Yuanzhang also praised him. Although this person is not good, but he is quite scheming, and he is even more obsessed with the throne, and after the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, he thinks that he will be the second monarch of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that everything can't always be satisfactory, and this matter is not excluded, Zhu Yuanzhang did not pass the throne to him because of Zhu Di's goodness, but passed it to his nephew, Zhu Biao's second son Zhu Yunwen, which made Zhu Di indignant at that time.

Soon after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, according to the instructions of Taizu's edict, he began to cut down the major vassal kings, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was naturally no exception, but Zhu Di has always been extremely ambitious, how could he willingly hand over the military power?

Although Zhu Yunwen is young and has not long been on the throne, he also knows that his uncle is not good at stubble, and if he forcibly seizes his military power, he is afraid that he will jump over the wall and mutiny, so he used a plan to detain his family in the court, make him throw a mouse, and then cut the feudal domain.

After Zhu Di knew about this, he really didn't dare to act rashly, he pretended to be crazy and stupid on the surface, and carried out the transfer of military power, but in fact, he secretly gathered people and horses, and only waited for his family to come back, and then carried out a mutiny.

Zhu Yunwen was young in the end, regardless of the opposition of the ministers, he believed in Zhu Di's appearance, not only did not get rid of Zhu Di, but also stupidly put all his family members back, which was called the most stupid transaction in history.

Soon after this incident, Zhu Di, who returned to the fiefdom, found an excuse and began to mutiny, coupled with the fact that some people in the court secretly helped each other, in less than three years, Zhu Di became more and more people, and he actually turned against the guest and led the army to the Ming Imperial City.

On the night when Zhu Di entered the capital, the palace caught fire, and some soldiers came back to report, and Emperor Zhu Yunwen and his family were all buried in the fire. This is the end of Zhu Yunwen's imperial career, and this time is June 1402, that is, Zhu Yunwen has only been emperor for four short years.

However, there are many theories about Zhu Yunwen's death in history, some people say that it was not him who burned to death in the palace that year, but a group of eunuchs and concubines, and he himself had escaped from the palace secretly out of the capital, and then became a monk.

There is also a theory that Zhu Yunwen knew that the throne was difficult to protect, so he fled to an overseas island with a group of loyal soldiers and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and settled down for a long time, and some scholars believe that it is the current Japan.

According to some historical records, Zhu Di found something wrong from the charred bones, because he was suspicious of this matter, so he sent a large number of people to search for Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, including Zheng He's seven trips to the West was also caused by this incident.

Speaking of this, Sankra said with some sighs: "Zhu Yunwen inherited Zhu Biao's benevolence and generosity, if Zhu Di does not rebel, maybe there will be another great benevolent monarch in history." ”

We came back to our senses from the story, feeling a little sorry for Zhu Yunwen, and at the same time ashamed of Zhu Di's ambition, Zhu Yunwen knew that Zhu Di had bad intentions, but he missed his uncle and nephew and let him go. But what about the latter? For the sake of the supreme monarchy, regardless of family affection, he even killed his own nephews.

Facts have proved that although Zhu Di is a rare monarch, but his murderous nature has also been exposed, we know that the West Factory Jinyi Wei is from the hands of this person, the establishment of the West Factory, I don't know how many civil and military officials and Li people sacrificed, so that the world can talk about the color change, it is a murder knife in the hands of the Yongle Emperor.

We were silent for a while, and then the label diverted the topic and said: "Okay, big bald head, these things have long passed, it's useless to talk too much now, let's talk about the most critical thing, this matter, how is it related to the reincarnation of the living Buddha?" You can talk about it. “

Sankra collected his mood for a moment and continued: "This is the next story, but before I tell this story, I want to ask you what you think of the final ending of Zhu Yunwen. “

I have an in-depth understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, and my evaluation of Zhu Yunwen, the young emperor, has always been very high, of course, I hope he can have a good ending, so I said: "During Zhu Di's reign, he has been sending people around to find Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, but to no avail, I think he should have fled overseas to escape the world." “

Biaozi also agreed, and explained: "If Zhu Yunwen is really hiding in China, the chance of not being discovered is almost zero, so I agree with Lao Yang's speculation." “

Sankra smiled mysteriously, and he said, "I used to think so, but Master Nyingma told me that Zhu Yunwen did not flee overseas, but went into hiding in the mainland, and it was recorded in the wild history. “

Whether it is the wild history or the official history, there are only three theories about the final outcome of Zhu Yunwen, the first is that on the day of the fall of the capital, Zhu Yunwen set himself on fire to the palace and was buried in the fire.

The second theory is that he fled overseas with some family members and subordinates and lived a secluded life. Zhu Di wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so there was the story of Zheng He's trip to the West.

The third theory is that on the day of the fall of the capital, Zhu Yunwen shaved his head, put on monk's clothes, and escaped through the secret passage of the palace in order not to be recognized.

Sankra said this, which undoubtedly shows that Zhu Yunwen has fallen into the third outcome, and I suddenly thought of the key point, so I exclaimed: "You mean, it is precisely because Zhu Yunwen has become a wandering ascetic that he is implicated in your Tibetan Buddhism, and everything is told by Zhu Yunwen to the Nyingma sect himself?" “

Sankra shook his head, and he said: "How is this possible, the matter of the elixir of immortality is very important, and it also involves some ridiculous things about Zhu Yuanzhang, how could Zhu Yunwen easily leak it?" And once he leaks it, it will cause death, after all, he was already an ordinary person at that time, and there were only a few loyal guards around him to protect him. “

is also said, the allure of the elixir is unprecedented, not to mention that it is known by some people with a heart, that is, ordinary people know it, and it is estimated that they will go crazy because of it, if Zhu Yunwen doesn't want to die early, this matter will definitely rot in the stomach for a lifetime.

Seeing that we were puzzled, Sankra did not sell it and continued to tell the rest of the story.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court, Zhu Yunwen turned into a wandering monk, evading pursuit and suppression everywhere, and lived a life of fear.

However, Zhu Di is not easy to deal with, not long after he took the throne, on the one hand, he calmed the hearts of the people and granted amnesty to the world, and on the other hand, he began to purge Zhu Yunwen's old department, and all of them were replaced by his own henchmen.

After Zhu Yunwen learned these news, his heart was like ashes, and he finally decided to give up the emperor's dream and become a free and easy traveling monk. In order not to be found by the imperial eagle dogs, he led several followers to quietly come to the remote Tibetan area, perhaps infected by Tibetan Buddhism, so he settled down here and lived an ascetic life.

Although Zhu Yunwen is a monk, all the past events are as if they happened yesterday every time he thinks about them, so that he can never forget them from his heart.

After Zhu Yunwen's death, several loyal guards around him went their separate ways, some people have been incognito since then, and they have lived a stable life, and some people have not forgotten the grace of the old master and guarded the tomb for him, and some people have seen through the red dust and become monks in Tibet.

One of the loyal old guards joined the Nyingma sect to seek Buddha, perhaps because the past is difficult to shake away, and the secrets in his heart cannot be spoken, so that he can not feel at ease to the Buddha, or perhaps, he wants future generations to know about the Yongle Emperor's conspiracy to seize power, so before he died, he wrote all the secrets in his heart on the codex and hid them in the scripture pavilion of the Nyingma sect of the Jokhang Temple.

Three years later, when the Jokhang Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was restored, a monk accidentally found the codex left by the old guard, from which he learned the biggest secret since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and informed the Nyingma Venerable about it.

When His Holiness learned of this, he ordered the monk to keep it a secret, but he was greedy, and in order to verify the authenticity of what was written in the Codex, he began his journey to immortality. With a large number of clues left by Liu Bowen, His Holiness did not take any more detours, but directly ordered the trusted apologetic monks to go to Kunlun to find the immortal golden pill.

However, it is a pity that although the group of monks who went there were all strong martial arts, they did not understand the various mechanisms in the ancient tomb, which caused the tomb containing the immortal gold pill to collapse devastatingly, resulting in the failure of the plan and the return in vain.
