The entire Ming Dynasty , if you want to discuss which vassal king contributed to today's society The biggest, who do you think this title will be given to?
After thinking about it, I personally think that only the protagonist of today's article is.
So the question is, how did he contribute to today six hundred years later? Let’s not mention it here for now, we will give a few points at the end of this article.
Explain the dynasty and talk about vassal kings. Since the name of this series is "Selected Talks of the Ming Dynasty", it is obvious that everyone will not be told about it, such as the previous series Zhu Yuanzhang The 16th son of King Qing, who was the fifteenth son of King Liao, who was the sixteenth son of King Qing, who was the fifteenth son of King Liao. , Seventeen Sons Ning Wang , we will not tell it separately. The protagonist of today is Zhu Yuanzhang's eighteenth son, King Min Zhu Yu.
- Gory's mother is suspected of being. In February of the year, she got her younger brother
Zhu Shi was born on April 9, 1379. Her mother is Concubine Zhou.
The name of Zhou Concubine Zhou, the year of birth and death, title, etc., are unknown, and her life experience is quite mysterious.
In July of the sixth year of Hongwu (1373), Goryeo sent Zhou Yingzan, the judge of the Hangong Temple, to envoy the Ming Dynasty. Why did he send him here? Because Zhou Yingzan's daughter was dedicated to the tribute daughter of the Yuan Dynasty, after the Yuan Dynasty retreated north, Zhou Yingzan's daughter was captured by the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang chose him as the harem and sent him there. In theory, the father and daughter were not allowed to meet. But this is an international friend after all. Is it possible that it may create an opportunity for father and daughter to meet? It is hard to say. Another Korean envoy, Zhou Yi, whose daughter has the same experience as Zhou Yingzan's daughter. Therefore, scholars in modern times have studied historical materials and believe that Zhu Shi's biological mother, Zhou, should be Zhou Yingzan or Zhou Yi's daughter, that is, one of the two concubines Zhou.
In other words, it is very likely that Zhu Shi is also a half-Green prince of Goryeo. 14 months after giving birth to Zhu Yu, Concubine Zhou gave birth to another child and gave birth to Zhu Yuanzhang the 20th son Zhu Song .
The two countries are mixed with blood, and the world is becoming increasingly close today, it will no longer become news, but at that time, it was still very difficult for the two children, Zhu Shi and Zhu Song, and their mother Zhou. What's the difficulty? Far away from a foreign country, Zhou's family finds it difficult to get support from their parents' family, and their two children can hardly get help from their grandfather and uncle.
So historical facts can almost prove this. There is no record of Zhou’s record after he gave birth to Zhu Song. I’m cautiously guessing here that it is likely that Zhou’s death before 1398, just before Zhu Yuanzhang’s death. Or even if she could survive until then, there was a certain possibility that she would be buried with Zhu Yuanzhang. When it comes to burial for burial, I will criticize it a few more words, which is the case with feudal dynasties. Even though Shengyu is a naughty man, he used short words to popularize these people and things in the Ming Dynasty, and he would never insult the places where he could praise him. , Shengyu still believes that under the extremely autocratic system of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people and There is no big difference between the concubines in the palace in essence, and it is difficult to live with dignity.
Zhu Yuanzhang's birth class also limited the limitations of his thinking to a certain extent. After his second son, King Qin Zhu Feng , the princess of Qin hanged himself and buried him with him. Zhu Yuanzhang personally gave Wang a posthumous title of Min Lie, said: "This is my good daughter-in-law of the Zhu family." This kind of thing was taken for granted at that time, because of the unique three views created by that era.
But there is a bit of irony that the system of burying concubines in the Ming Dynasty was deposed by some contemporary people as the "God of War in Ming Dynasty". Zhu Qizhen's father Zhu Zhanji's After the death of Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji's mother Empress Dowager Zhang "started a big murder". Regarding how many concubines were buried after Zhu Zhanji's death, you can move on to the "Explanation of Concubine Fools". Emperor (Wu) - Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, has a detailed discussion.
- Twelve Gansu, Sixteen Yunnan
is far from going far, and then talks about Zhu Xi.In 1391, Zhu Yuanzhang once again enfeoffed his sons. The 12-year-old Zhu Shi was named King of Min and was granted the title of Minzhou. The prefecture was now Lintao County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province. Also being named king:
Sixteenth son Zhu Yu, who was named King Qing, and was 13 years old at that time;
Seventeenth son Zhu Quan , who was named King Ning, and was 19 years old at that time. 13 years old;
9 sons Zhu Li , was named Gu Wang , was enfeoffed in Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, he was 12 years old at that time;
Twenty sons Zhu Song, was named Han Wang , was enfeoffed in Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province, he was feoffed at that time 11 years old;
Twenty-one son Zhu Mo was granted the title of King Shen, and was now Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, and was less than 11 years old at that time;
Twenty-two sons Zhu Ying was granted the title of King An, and was now Pingliang City, Gansu Province, and was not enough at that time 8 years old;
Twenty-third son Zhu Yu was named King of Tang, and was now Nanyang City, Henan Province. He was less than 5 years old at that time;
Twenty-four sons Zhu Dong , was named King of Ying , and was now Zhongxiang, Hubei Province The city was less than 3 years old at that time;
Twenty-five son Zhu Yu was granted the title of King Yi and was now the founding of Luoyang City, Henan Province, less than 3 years old at that time.
Then he was Zhu Nan, the 26th son born three years later. Unfortunately, he died in one month and was not prosecuted. Therefore, this time in 1391 was Zhu Yuanzhang's last enfeoffment of the sons.
Lintao County, which has not been removed, is located as shown in the figure
In the 26th year of Hongwu (1393), due to the newly recovered Yunnan region, all the ministers and Zhu Yuanzhang believed that it was appropriate to be pacified by a prince, which happened that Minzhou was not at that time. The royal palace was built, and Zhu Qi was re-elected to Yunnan Prefecture. In 1395, Zhu Qi officially entered Yunnan. At the age of 16, he embarked on a journey to Yunnan with his princess Yuan and his family. Two years after arriving in Yunnan, Zhu Wei's eldest son was born and named Zhu Huiqi. Zhu Wei, who was eighteen-year-old father, should have lived and worked in peace here, but unfortunately things went against his wishes.
- The nephew ascended the throne and deposed a commoner and exiled to Guanheshan, Fujian
1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and Zhu Yu's nephew Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, which was for Emperor Jianwen . This nephew Zhu Yunwen is one and a half years older than Zhu Yu. The next year, Zhu Yunwen issued an order to depose Zhu Shi as a commoner. Why was Zhu Shi abolished? It’s a cliché that was Zhu Yunwen’s policy of reducing the power of the vassal states on the one hand, and on the other hand, a person named Mu Sheng played a crucial role.
Mu Sheng's father Mu Ying , was a famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty. In 1381, he pacified Yunnan as the head coach and began to guard Yunnan in 1384. After his death, he was posthumously named King of Qianning . Since his second son Mu Ying was named Duke of Qian Kingdom , he later generations all inherited the Duke of Qian Kingdom and guarded Yunnan. Everyone may have read Jin Yong 's novel "The Deer and the Cauldron". The character Xiao Princess Mu Jianping is the so-called descendant of Mu Ying.
By the early years of Jianwen , Mu Sheng was the head of the Mu family. Such an important role was placed in Yunnan. If another prince was to restrain each other, it became the status quo that had to face at that time. History records: "Min King Zhu Shi was enfeoffed to Yunnan Prefecture, and there were many illegal things." What illegal behavior is ? It is beyond proof of history. It is speculated that the emperor is far away. I have the final say, he is domineering and unruly. .
In the first year of Jianwen, Mu Sheng, who was still , Xiping Hou , reported to Zhu Yunwen for his evil deeds. Zhu Yunwen would definitely not miss such a good opportunity. King Min was immediately deposed as a commoner and moved to live in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province today.
Zhu Wei could only take his wife and family, and again traveled a long distance to the distant Zhangzhou .
- The fourth brother re-enacted back to Yunnan, but Mu Sheng didn't like
After Jing was sad, Zhu Di ascended the throne. In the first year of Yongle (1403), Zhu Shi, who had blown the sea breeze in Fujian for four years, was renamed King Min. At that time, Zhu Di wanted to seal his second son Zhu Gaoxu to Yunnan, but Zhu Gaoxu could not be beaten to death. Later, Zhu Di wanted to kill him. Shi had to go back to Yunnan and continue to face Mu Sheng.
historical records, Zhu Qi returned to Yunnan and became even more unscrupulous. Zhu Di still wanted his eighteenth brother, who was as old as his son, to check and balance with the Mu family.
Mu Sheng can restrain Zhu Xi to a certain extent, and Zhu Xi can also monitor Mu Sheng's every move to prevent him from feeling compassion. Facts have proved that the Mu family is all loyal ministers and will not rebel.
When Zhu Shi was restrained by Mu Sheng, Zhu Shi was extremely angry. Volume 126 of " Ming History " records: "(King Min) sent back to the house, becoming more arrogant and arrogant. Sheng held on a little while. The king was angry and slandered Sheng. The emperor ordered Sheng to warn King Sheng for the sake of the king, and wrote to King Min, saying that his father was a meritorious. , do not supervise. " is the prince, so Zhu Di first warned Mu Sheng and told Zhu Shi that Mu Sheng's family had made contributions to Ming and required the two to live in harmony.
The emperor had to listen to his words. At this point, Zhu Shi and Mu Sheng had been peaceful for twenty years. It is not entirely true that it is said that the relationship is peaceful. There is no detailed record of history books. It is speculated that small frictions still exist, and the big contradictions are not dared to be brought to the table.
- Renzong ascended the throne and moved to Wugang . At this time, descendants stayed in Hunan
In the 22nd year of Yongle (1424), Zhu Di died and Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne. For Zhu Gaochi, who is one year younger than him, it is difficult for Zhu Gaochi to have the courage of his father to shock him and Mu Sheng at the same time. What should I do? Then don’t meet.
In the same year, Zhu Gaochi changed Zhu Xi to Wugang Prefecture, Huguang, which is Wugang City in the southwest of Hunan Province. At this point, Zhu Shi and his descendants lived in Hunan for generations.
It has to be said that the reason why Zhu Gaochi was called "Renzong" is not unreasonable. "Benevolence" is the so-called "benevolence loves others". Trying to avoid conflicts and prevent innocent people from getting involved in disputes is also a manifestation of "benevolence". Zhu Shi and Mu Sheng were hindering each other, which was an imperial technique. There was no fault, but it was really too much. Zhu Gaochi understood this very well and completely solved this dilemma by using the method of "you two should not meet".
Shengyu believes that this is worth learning from you and I in the contemporary era.
- In his later years, he watched his five sons fight
The year when Zhu Qi went to Wugang, he was 45 years old. He thought he could finally enjoy his old age, but the children had grown up and he was once again in a tangle.
" The Emperor Ming Zushi " was established by King Min as follows: "Huiyin has received reputation, and he will definitely meet Yong. Chongli was originally consulted, Kuanrong and Ben followed."
Zhu Yu has five sons:
legitimate The eldest son Zhu Huiqiu was born in 1397 and was named Prince Min in 1404;
second son Zhu Huiqiu , born in 1401, was first named King of Zhennan, and was not in harmony with his elder brother;
third son Zhu Hui Qing, born in 1412, was named , Jiangchuan King ;
, the fourth son of the concubine, , Zhu Huiying , the birth year is unknown, and was named King Guangtong;
, the fifth son of the concubine, Zhu Huiying fu, the birth year is unknown, and was named King Yangzong.
Let’s talk about the two people first, Zhu Huihuai and Zhu Huihuai, their birth years are unknown, and they are likely to be born around 1415. Both of them were named princes in 1429, and they were both in the Jingtai period and were surrendered to common people. Jingtai In the third year of (1452), Zhu Huiying was abolished; in the fifth year of Jingtai (1454), Zhu Huiying was abolished. Both of them have descendants, but unfortunately they have been abolished as commoners and have no clan origin.
The reasons for these two deposed are recorded. After their second brother Zhu Huiyan inherited the title of father, the fourth brother was dissatisfied. The fourth brother had a retainer named Duan Youhong. Duan Youhong said that the fourth brother had a strange appearance and was in charge of the world, so he planned to rebel. . Even the era is changed to "Xuanyuan". The emperor will not let you go with your playing method. The fourth brother went to the Miao area, lured the Miao soldiers to participate in the chaos, and attacked Wugang Prefecture, where the second brother, Minwang Mansion, was located. How could such a thing succeed? Soon, after being captured, the fourth and fifth brothers were sent to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb. 1488, in the first year of Hongzhi , Censorate and Ministry of Justice meeting to discuss whether to release Fengyang commoners, Zhu Huiwei, a commoner of the old Wuyang clan who was imprisoned in the same case, but did not mention Lao Si. Zhu Huihuan, it seems that the fourth brother had passed away at that time, and the fifth brother was alive, about 70 years old.
Let’s talk about the third brother, Zhu Huiying.The brothers in the Min Palace were not in harmony, especially the second brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother mentioned above, while the third brother remained silent and remained silent, leaving few records. In the 13th year of Zhengtong (1448), Zhu Huiyi, the king of the Wuyang Sect, took five people from Baoqing Prefecture to Changsha Prefecture, with an intention to go to Beijing to complain about the injustice, but was repatriated by Yingzong. Yingzong sent his uncle, the son-in-law Duwei, to investigate the truth and found out that the fifth mother, Su, was held accountable by the second child for stealing gold and silver, and the second child still forced the fifth child to return the stolen stolen money. What is sad is that Zhu Shi was still alive at that time, at the age of 69, and she was old. Seeing his sons like this, I don’t know what they think. Yingzong scolded the fifth brother, criticized the second brother, and accused the third brother of not correcting his brother's behavior.
Finally, it was said that the eldest and the second brother were the prince at the beginning, and the second brother was dissatisfied. In the first year of Xuande html (1426), the boss violated the ban and went to Beijing without permission. Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji sent someone to ask him to return to Wugang Prefecture immediately and told him that he could communicate with the court if he had something to do. The eldest son then wrote a memorial saying that his younger brother, Zhu Huiwen, the second son of King Zhennan, "slandered the benevolent temple and slandered the court." Xuanzong ordered the two brothers to confront each other, and finally believed that the eldest brother and the envoy Chen Rong were both falsely accused the second brother, and deposed the eldest brother Zhu Huiyan as a commoner, and sent him back to Wugang Prefecture to govern by his father, Zhu Wei, and executed Chen Rong in the capital. At this point, the eldest son's record disappeared from history. Although the eldest son was disgraced because of this, Xuanzong did not make the second son the crown prince. But in the end the second brother was still the winner. Two years after Zhu Qi's death, the second brother Zhu Huixian ascended the throne of King Min.
When Zhu Shi arrived in Wugang, he watched his sons fight every day. Zhu Shi might be extremely sad, but he was powerless, which was sad and lamentable.
- The last of the Taizu's sons died
As mentioned above, Zhu Yu passed away on May 10, 1450 at the age of 71, so he was the last of all Zhu Yuanzhang's sons who died. He was also the great-grandfather of the emperor at that time.
Although he was the last one to die, he did not have the longest life span. The Dai Wang Zhu Gui , which was previously mentioned in the series, has the longest life span.
- ’s impact on today’s society
The following simple question is why Zhu Shi has an impact on today’s society.
A seventeenth generation grandson of Zhu Shi was born in the 1920s. He was named "Jing" according to the genealogy, and was named "Ji" according to the five elements. From the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, he led our country to carry out social changes and devoted himself to it. The old man is 94 years old this year, and I wish him good health and longevity.
But the reason why this branch has been passed down to this day is the story of the Min Wang branch in the next series.
