If there is an emperor in ancient times who was the most qualified, then Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is definitely the number. Objectively speaking, Zhu Di is not a good person or a gentleman, but he is just a qualified emperor. Zhu Di was cunning, insidious, and could do everything he could, and he had courageous and ruthless means; but at the same time, he was a broad-minded, wise and visionary person.
Such a person is really suitable to be an emperor. He dares to do what other emperors dare to do, and he dares to do what other emperors dare not do. He is so willful. As we all know, Zhu Di was a horse emperor. He conquers Mongolia five times in succession, effectively attacking the military power of Northern Yuan and minimizing the threat of Ming .
The most praiseworthy thing for future generations is that he moved the capital to Beijing, and he was also the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty to " emperor guard the country's gates, and the king dies in the country." From a human perspective, Zhu Di is definitely a bold and arrogant person, otherwise he would not dare to resist the millions of troops of Zhu Yunwen with just tens of thousands of people.
But no matter how bold he is, there are people who are afraid of it. The person Zhu Di is most afraid of is his father Zhu Yuanzhang . It is said that when Zhu Di did not follow the vassal Beiping , Zhu Yuanzhang almost executed because of a special thing. Speaking of which, Zhu Di was sent to Fengyang by Zhu Yuanzhang in the past few years when he was vassal of Beiping.
The purpose is to let Zhu Di and the princes understand the sufferings of the people and the lives of the people. The people who travelled with them also include King of Jin and King of Qin. In our words today, it is the internship life before participating in formal work. They are all princes. Although they go to the local area to understand the people's conditions, the local officials dare not neglect anything.
In addition to giving high standards in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the local officials also gave each of them a stunning woman. Zhu Di was very meticulous. Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to come to Fengyang to be absolutely not a tourist or enjoyment, and their actions must not be hidden from their father. But if he returned this woman, wouldn’t it be a shame for the officials to be kind?
After thinking about it, Zhu Di kept her by his side as a maid and did not do anything excessive. When they returned, Zhu Di sent the woman to the palace and explained the whole story to Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing that the woman was handsome, Zhu Yuanzhang left her in the harem with his kindness.
However, at night Zhu Yuanzhang had a strange dream. He was riding a horse to receive the worship of all officials. Suddenly, a man in yellow armor flashed out of the crowd, and pushed Zhu Yuanzhang down from the horse, and then he sat on Zhu Yuanzhang's horse. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and was about to scold him loudly, but he saw that the man turned into a big rat.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly woke up by the nightmare. He breathed a sigh of relief, glad that what had just happened was a dream. His nervous mood had just calmed down, but he heard the woman beside him talking in a sleep. She said intermittently: " Doing this... can you be a concubine? Your Highness, King Yan... You didn't lie to me..."
Zhu Yuanzhang chewed her words strangely: " Did the fourth brother deliberately put this woman next to me as an insider? " What exactly did Zhu Di want to do? Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about this question all night, yellow, armor, and rats. Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly shocked, and a sense of anger arose, and he sneered, " So that's it. I'm going to kill the fourth brother! ." After that, he rushed out with a sword.
Fortunately, I was seen by Queen Ma , and I tried to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to stop him. Empress Ma was full of confusion and asked, " Why do you want to kill the fourth brother? " Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, " This kid has rebellious behind his head. I want to get rid of this great disaster for the prince! " Empress Ma said again, " Your Majesty said that the fourth brother had a rebellious intention, is there any evidence? "
Zhu Yuanzhang told Queen Ma the dream he had at night and the woman's dream talk to Queen Ma.Why did Zhu Yuanzhang think that Zhu Di will rebel in the future just by just a strange dream? It turned out that Zhu Di's zodiac sign happened to be a mouse. He pushed Zhu Yuanzhang off the horse in yellow armor symbolizing the emperor, which meant to seize Zhu Yuanzhang's territory from the horse.
plus the woman's dream talk made Zhu Yuanzhang believe that she was the undercover agent sent by Zhu Di to him. Empress Ma was angry and funny after hearing this, and said, " The dream is aroused. If Your Majesty has nothing to think, how can you think at night? Dreaming of a mouse may not mean the fourth brother Zhu Di. Perhaps it is unknown if Your Majesty has seen a mouse these days. "
Empress Ma said this, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have realized something. A few days ago, he happened to see several eunuchs catch a big mouse in the palace. When Empress Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, she said, " When the woman entered the palace yesterday, I joked to her that if she served Your Majesty well, maybe Your Majesty would be happy and could really be named a concubine. After all, she was the one sent by the King of Yan. "
After hearing Empress Ma's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing and said, " It seems that I am too worried! As soon as this person gets older, he loves to think randomly. " Some things are such coincidences, no one would have thought about it. More than ten years later, the prince Zhu Biao died of illness, and he was also the only person who could suppress Zhu Di.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen reduced his vassals and forced him to rebel against Zhu Di. Zhu Di raised an army to launch the Jingnan , and finally seized the throne of his nephew. In the end, he fulfilled Zhu Yuanzhang's strange dream.
