If you want to find one of the most weird dynasties in history, many people will probably answer- Ming Dynasty .
It is also true that the Ming Dynasty is a wonderful dynasty. To be precise, it is an era when wonderful emperors emerge in endlessly. Among these emperors, there are those who are addicted to power like fate to kill all quarters, some who want to ascend and aspire to become immortals, and some live alone in the harem. There are also those who have not been in court for decades, and some are keen to play cricket and cricket.
And Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was an emperor who had a ten-minute affection for crickets.
This is recorded in "A Brief History of the Ming Dynasty":
The emperor cool is good at promoting weaving, and the price is expensive to the tenths of gold. When Fengqiao is a grain chief, he will be sent by the county to find Those who get the best, use the steed that they ride on.
This blockquote is actually crickets. It is also called crickets in the folk. For fighting crickets, no matter how expensive, you can buy them as long as you like them. Dozens of gold don't care at all. You can even trade a horse for a cricket. In many eyes, an emperor like
is the master of playthings.
However, Zhu Zhanji is really not such a person. In history, Zhu Zhanji is a generation of Ming emperors, at least one of the top five emperors who have the ability to govern the country. If you add literary talent to In the scope of the assessment, Zhu Zhanji could almost rank first.
Zhu Zhanji is quite accomplished in painting. Whether it is landscape figures, flowers, birds, animals, or grass, insects and plants, he paints very well, just as the "Chinese Painting Knowledge Dictionary" commented:
点墨Sketching, then competed with Xuanhe (Song Huizong).
like fighting crickets,He is also good at painting and has a mastery in governing the country. Such an emperor is rarely seen in history.
If God can give Zhu Zhanji 20 more years, the Ming Dynasty may be able to break the nightmare of the feudal dynasty of no more than 300 years.
But just such an emperor with all talents and talents, Zhu Zhanji died unexpectedly when he was in his prime of life, so what is the truth of his death?
2.
There is such a sentence in the "Ming History·Xuanzong Benji":
Ming has the world, handed down sixteenth, Taizu, Chengzu, can be called Renzong , Xuanzong, Xiaozong only.
This sentence means that since the Ming Dynasty had the world, there were a total of 16 emperors, but there were only five emperors who did something. These five people are:
Ming Tai Zu Zhu Yuanzhang, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, and Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhan.
Calculated carefully, these men lived in the same era that corresponds to the rule of Hongwu, the prosperity of Yongle, , the rule of Renxuan, and the rule of Hongzhi Zhongxing. Of course, the reign of Ming Renzong and Zhu Gaochi was only nine months, so the rule of Renxuan To put it bluntly, Zhu Zhanji created it alone.
This is not important, the important thing is that Zhu Gaochi became the emperor because of his son Zhu Zhanji's light.
The thing is like this:
After Zhu Di snatched the throne from Jianwen Emperor , he transformed himself into Ming Chengzu. He did a lot of great things during his reign.To make the Ming Dynasty strong, Zhu Gaochi was Zhu Di's eldest son, but he was not the ideal successor in Zhu Di's mind. He even felt that his second son Zhu Gaoxu was more like him, and also intended to pass on the throne to him.
But abolished the growth and development of the young. This is a major event, and it will shake the foundation of the dynasty. Such things are not uncommon in history.
In order to reassure himself, Zhu Di discussed the matter with his confidant Xie Jin when he was establishing the crown prince, and expressed his intention to establish the second son Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince.

Originally, the clever courtier would be silent about this matter, but this solution is not ordinary. He is famous for being so good and daring to speak frankly, so when Zhu Di asked When he was, he directly said to Zhu Di:
is long, as it was in ancient times. The crown prince is benevolent and filial, and the world belongs to him. As soon as the precedent is set, we are afraid that there will be a peaceful day, and history can be a lesson for the past. ——"History of Ming Dynasty"
The meaning is very obvious, that is, it is not possible to waste the Chang Lici. Once it starts, maybe there will be no good days in the future.
Zhu Di was obviously unhappy when he heard it. Jie Jin saw Zhu Di's hesitation, and then he only said three words:
Good grandson.
After Zhu Di heard this, he smiled at Xie Jin. Later, Zhu Di appointed Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince. In fact, he fancyed Zhu Gaochi's good son and his good grandson Zhu Zhanji.
In this way, Zhu Gaochi became the crown prince, and Zhu Zhanji naturally became the veritable grandson of .
After Zhu Di passed away, Zhu Gaochi became the emperor, but he passed away after only nine months, and Zhu Zhanji has undoubtedly become the new emperor.
After Zhu Zhanji took the throne, he carried out a series of reforms. He was especially sympathetic to the people and advocated the implementation of the policy of rest and recuperation. It is reasonable to say:
sits in the palace of nine layers and thinks about agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
In addition, in the military, Zhu Zhanji often patrols the north, so that the surrounding nomads dare not do whatever they want, and relieved the border troubles of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was extremely strong under Zhu Zhanji's governance.
However, Zhu Zhanji had only been emperor for ten years. He died when he was 38 years old. There are only a few words about this incident in the history books:
Regarding the court, he ordered the officials to visit the crown prince in Wenhua Palace. Jiaxu, big gradually. Stop buying and constructing all envoys. Yihai, collapsed in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, was 30 to 8 years old. ——"History of Ming Dynasty"
This means that Zhu Zhanji's death was sudden. When he felt that he was not good enough, he hurriedly asked the officials to pay respects to the prince, and he passed away within a few days, of course. It can also be regarded as a sudden death.
is exactly because his death was so sudden that many people wondered about the cause of his death, but one possibility that can be ruled out is that Zhu Zhanji was murdered.
So what is the truth of his death?
Actually, if you think about it carefully, there are only two reasons that are most likely. One is the body's illness, and the other is overwork.
5.
If we take the emperor after Zhu Gaochi,Make a list of their longevity, and you will find that there is a problem.
Zhu Zhanji’s father Zhu Gaochi lived to 48 years old, Zhu Zhanji’s two sons, Zhu Qiyu lived to 30 years old, Zhu Qizhen lived to 38 years old, and later Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youchang died 36 Years old, Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was 31 when he died. Later Ming Xizong died when he was 23 years old.
In other words, the emperor of Zhu Zhanji's vein is generally short-lived. From this, we can infer a possibility that starting from Zhu Gaochi, their vein is likely to have some kind of physical aspect. Genetic diseases, which caused them to not live long.
Although Zhu Zhanji likes fighting crickets, it is undeniable that he is a good emperor and a diligent emperor.
During his reign, he was conscientious and did not dare to slacken his work. "Xuande Yiji" recorded this:
However, the rest of his life will not waste political affairs.
Sometimes he remembered something big that needed to be decided. He even rushed to the minister Yang Shiqi 's mansion to ask in person. Such a diligent emperor is indeed rare in history.
A person has so much energy. If you stay in a high-intensity, high-stress environment for a long time, coupled with lack of sleep, you are almost overdrawing your life, so it is very difficult to live a long life.
Of course, may also be caused by a combination of dark diseases and overwork.
It can be seen that Zhu Zhanji, the all-rounder of civil and military emperor, died unexpectedly in his prime of life. It was not a conspiracy behind him, but a physical problem of Zhu Zhanji himself.
But to be honest,Zhu Zhanji is indeed a good emperor. If he can live longer, the Ming dynasty train must be able to drive farther, but history cannot be assumed.
