"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died early because Zhu Biao died, and why did he make Zhu Yunwen the emperor, it should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang thought a little too much."

"Emperor Jianwen first inherited the throne from generation to generation, he was young and had no political experience, and then judging from his performance in the 4 years of his reign, his IQ and EQ do not seem to be high, which is congenitally insufficient."

"Moreover, although his own ability is poor, but his heart is high, that is to say, his grandfather's year name is Hongwu, and his own year name is Jianwen, it is conceivable that he himself wants to make a difference, but Zhida is talented."

"In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the crown prince Zhu Biao died of illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to reconsider the succession to the throne."

"During this period, he thought of Zhu Di, the fourth son of the emperor, because Zhu Di was very similar to him in many places, but when he consulted the ministers, the minister Liu Sanwu proposed that if the fourth son of the emperor is established, where will the second and third sons of the emperor be established?"

"At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already divided the kings, and the second, third, and fourth sons of the emperor were respectively named Qin, Jin, and Yan kings, and the fiefs of the three were all important border towns, and they had heavy troops, once there was internal strife due to the struggle for the crown, the consequences would be very serious."

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had to establish Zhu Biao's second son, Zhu Yunwen, as the emperor's grandson."

"In the leap month of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness, and Zhu Yunwen officially ascended the throne and changed the year name to Jianwen."

"It is not difficult to see from the year name that one Jianwen and one Hongwu have completely different personalities of the two emperors, and an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is reluctant to establish the emperor's grandson is that Zhu Yunwen, like his father, is too weak, too benevolent, and too seriously influenced by Confucianism, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the ministers in the future."

"After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he reused Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru and other literati, contrary to the practice of Ming Taizu, and implemented a series of new policies."

"First of all, it is important to emphasize morality and punishment, be determined to govern culture, and advocate etiquette and religion. As a result, the number of prisoners in the penal department has decreased by two-thirds compared to previous years. ”

"At the same time, he also selected 24 courtiers as interview envoys to patrol the world, observe customs, hide candles, and do things for the benefit of the people."

"The second is that they are all exempted from servitude, and the rent of previous years and the tax on wasteland in the world are exempted."

In view of the excessive burden of service in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Emperor Jianwen issued an edict that "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are unique, and it is advisable to know and exempt, and one mu shall not be more than one bucket." ”

"In the imperial court, Emperor Jianwen disciplined the eunuchs very strictly, and at the same time issued an edict to the magistrates, once it was found that the eunuchs were tyrannical and abused the people, they would be captured and severely punished."

"This also aroused the resentment of the lawless eunuchs, and in the future battle of Jingjing, they either took refuge in Zhu Di, the king of Yan, or acted as an internal response."

"Emperor Jianwen also carried out reforms in terms of officials, re-established the official system, vigorously streamlined the organization, and eliminated redundant personnel."

"During the four years of Emperor Jianwen's reign, nine prefectures, 39 counties, and a large number of redundant officials and taxation agencies were abolished, increasing the central fiscal revenue and reducing the burden on the people."

It can be said that a series of measures of Emperor Jianwen fully embodied his idea of governing the country with benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and happiness, reformed many malpractices in the Hongwu period, and brought a fresh breeze to the society. It has created a relaxed environment for both the people and the officials, alleviated social contradictions, and had a positive effect on social stability. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: Isn't this a good way to govern? How can you be called a mediocre king!

Liu Bang: Old Zhu! You really love your grandson, and you don't see the slightest problem?

"Haha, in our modern parlance, the filter is a bit deep."

"First of all, in terms of employing people, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, these three typical vain names, Fang Xiaoru is the most famous, and this benevolent brother actually wants to restore the well field system, as we all know, the well field system in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, where productivity is low, can no longer be carried out."

"And Fang Xiaoru wants to restore the well field system after nearly 2,000 years, can you imagine what his ability is, the seed of the world's scholars? Typical nerd speaks. ”

"Even if there is no Jingjing, Emperor Jianwen will not be able to govern the country well, and he will be subject to the civil official group, and Emperor Jianwen will definitely lose control of the country early."

"You must know that when Zhu Di arrived at the Wanli Emperor, he was still in control of the entire empire, although the imperial power was weak at this time, it was still in a delicate balance, and Emperor Jianwen's generation may be regarded as a puppet by the civil official group, which is not a good sign!"

"What will happen later, according to historical experience, Emperor Jianwen's performance is unlikely to be better than Zhu Di."

"The essence of the Battle of Jingyan is that King Yan, who represents the interests of the meritorious heroes and clans, replaces Emperor Jianwen, who is controlled by civil officials."

"Emperor Jianwen himself, as the emperor of Zhu Biao's generation, was played by civil officials without knowing it, which is very different from Zhu Di's performance as an emperor."

"There is also the matter of cutting Pan, when Emperor Jianwen first ascended the throne, at this time, the heroes all belonged to the same interest group around Emperor Jianwen, but the civil officials instigated Emperor Jianwen to cut the domain, so as to replace the heroes to control the country and the army, and Emperor Jianwen Zhidacai did not know the reason, and directly offended the heroes and all the clans, which led to the success of the later Battle of Jingyan."

"This is very different from Zhu Di being the emperor and his ability to govern, just like when Li Shimin first became the emperor, can the family be eliminated? It's not like waiting to slowly control the power, and slowly attack their family one by one. ”

"There is another point, Emperor Jianwen also wants to cut Zhu Di, when Zhu Di was the king of Yan, he killed the enemy on the battlefield, and it was said that Zhu Di was cruel to Emperor Jianwen's people, but didn't Emperor Jianwen also want Zhu Di's life? These ministers are also involved. ”

"This Emperor Jianwen's ministers are also a good idea, let the heroes go to fight King Yan, and come back to give a sweet date, isn't this Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release military power? No one is a fool, and at this time, these generals who went to the battlefield did not necessarily work hard to fight for the country. ”

"Isn't this just giving the heroes and the ancestors to each other?"

"In the 4 years of the Battle of Jingyan, King Yan seized a pitiful amount of territory under his actual control, and in the end, the imperial army couldn't go on, so he had a showdown with Zhu Di directly, you don't fight city by city, you go straight to Nanjing, and the people who are waiting to open the city gate for you over there can't wait."

"If you don't say that these Wenchen are just a group of nerds, if you don't fight King Yan first, let him grow up, when he fights, he fights too little territory, and he doesn't think about it at all."

"It's not surprising that this "Battle of Jingjiang" happened, who told you not to take each other in your eyes, and sent two big groups to others, the opportunity was given to Zhu Di, can people not fight back? ”
