Chapter 235: Zhu Di's Cruelty
"Zhu Youzhen's childhood was actually very unhappy."
"Mainly because his father Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo was not liked by the emperor Mingshenzong at that time, and even when he was five years old, his mother Liu made a little mistake and was killed by his father's order."
"Since then, Zhu Youzhen has been raised by his mother-in-law Xi Li, and after raising him for a few years, Xi Li also gave birth to a child and couldn't take care of it, so he was raised by another mother-in-law, Dong Li, until he became an adult."
"It is conceivable that the bumpy treatment in the middle has also created the character of Zhu Youjian who is suspicious."
"It wasn't until my brother Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and named Zhu Youzhen as the king of letters, that Zhu Youzhen's treatment was raised and stabilized."
"It's a pity that this kind of good life is not long, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, my brother Zhu Youxiao died of illness, and before he died, he left his last words to pass the throne to his younger brother Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters."
"So, seventeen-year-old Zhu Youzhen inherited the throne in this way, and the year name is Chongzhen."
"He Zhu Youzhen has not received much education, and he is a non-existent existence at home, which has caused him to be suspicious and have an inferior character.
"In addition, the plague epidemic at that time was followed by floods, droughts, locust plagues and wars."
"This unfortunate Zhu Youzhen not only had to face the invasion of the external Houjin, but also had to draw troops to resist the peasant uprising and the army mutiny caused by insufficient military pay at every turn."
"How can he save it? In this case, many emperors may be in a hurry, not to mention Zhu Youzhen, who has not learned the ability to govern the country. ”
Li Zicheng: Emperor Chongzhen He is a generally sympathetic emperor, he is actually not a too bad emperor, although he is not the heart of the minister, but he was diligent and diligent during his reign, and he still did a lot of good things for the country and the people, who said that the situation could be controlled at that time!
Xiaozhuang: Zhu Youzhen is a diligent emperor, after understanding him, I believe everyone has this feeling, in his twenties, his hair is white, his eyes are long crows, the rooster crows, he can't sleep at night, he is often anxious and sick, and there is never a feast in the palace, maybe he didn't expect that later generations gave him the title of a mediocre monarch.
Yongzheng: Diligence is diligence, ability is really not good, being an emperor is not diligence!
Princess Changle: This emperor is quite unlucky!
Zhu Yuanzhang: Alas! As far as you are right, he is not capable, and I, the founding emperor, can't say that he, which dynasty can always be prosperous, let it go! Drop it!
Qin Shi Huang: You are very strong, you should be satisfied, stronger than me, the Great Qin Empire!
Lis: It's all my fault!
"Through the understanding of several emperors, we are continuing to talk about Zhu Di, and after talking about it, we will talk about it again."
"We're done talking about the Battle of Jingjing."
"Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, who escaped by pretending to be crazy and stupid, later launched the Battle of Jingyan in history, ousted his nephew Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen from the throne, became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and renamed him Yongle."
"In these respects, Emperor Zhu Di was a brilliant and intelligent man."
"He carried out five imperial expeditions to Mobei, laying the foundation for the stability of the north."
"Sending Zheng He to the West seven times not only enhanced the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but also brought back strange jewels from abroad."
"Subsequently, the capital was moved to BJ, and the Son of Heaven guarded the country, laying the foundation for the status quo of BJ."
Not only did he make some achievements in politics and military affairs, but he also ordered people to compile the Yongle Grand Canon, creating a generation of prosperity that belonged to him, known as the "Yongle Shengshi", and he was therefore called the Yongle Emperor. ”
"Zhu Di's great achievements are indelible, and he has become a famous figure in history."
"However, despite his great achievements, he is still cruel but unmistakable, and has many similarities with his father, Zhu Yuanzhang."
"When his nephew ousted him, he purged the ministers who supported Zhu Yunwen and established his dignity."
"He cleaned up the ministers for his rule, which is understandable, but he even bloodbathed the harem during the Yongle period more than once, killing thousands of palace maids."
"Why? It's about two women. ”
"The first is the Korean concubine Kwon Hyun from North Korea, it is said that the family of Kwon Hyun Concubine from South Korea is beautiful, gentle, and generous, and it stood out from thousands of beauties, and was named a virtuous concubine by Zhu Di, and he favored her."
"In 1410, Zhu Di drove to Mobei in person, which lasted several months, in order not to be lonely, he took his favorite concubine Quanxian."
Wu Zetian: I thought it was good to Queen Xu? That's just it!
Liu Bang: So chic!
Lv Pheasant: Men are all good guys!
Qin Shi Huang: Fighting a war with a woman?
Qin Liangyu: Zhu Di is not the first, there are too many of them, a common problem of men.
Xu Miaoyun: Isn't that what women are? Don't you understand, Empress? Isn't it the same with Li Zhi?
Wu Zetian: So, it's really disgusting?
"But who would have thought that when everyone returned triumphantly, Concubine Kwon Hyun died."
"She is Zhu Di's favorite concubine, which makes Zhu Di very sad."
"I originally thought it was just an accident, but who knew that when she returned to the palace, a court woman reported that it was Concubine Quan Xian who was killed by the accompanying palace maid Lu."
"When Zhu Di heard the news, he immediately sent someone to check, and it turned out that it was the palace maid who entered the palace with the Quan family at that time, and she was jealous of the emperor's favor for Concubine Quan Xian, and poisoned her on the way."
However, Lu himself did not admit it, and said that it was Jia Lu, the palace maid who had an enmity with him, who killed someone and blamed him.
When Zhu Di heard the news, he was very angry, and the two people couldn't tell who the murderer was. At that time, more than 100 palace maids including the Lu family and Jia Lu were all executed, which relieved their anger. ”
"The second is that Wang Guifei, who was favored after the incident with Concubine Quanxian."
"Not only is Wang Guifei favored, but the emperor also intends to give her the title of empress."
"Maybe she didn't have the life of being the queen, just when she was about to canonize the queen, she died of illness."
"When the emperor was deeply saddened, the long-eyed palace maid Yu clan was rumored to have a good relationship with the eunuch."
"The matter was passed on to Zhu Di, who immediately ordered people to check on the ladies."
"Don't admit it, it doesn't matter, Zhu Di didn't do anything, he just cleaned the harem again, there were more than 3,000 palace maids in the palace, and it was unprecedented."
"Zhu Di's ability to do such inhumane things is related to his murderous and suspicious, but it is also inseparable from the death of the two concubines."
"We should judge a person comprehensively, not partially, generally speaking, Zhu Di's merits are greater than his faults."
