Gao Xu is the second son of Emperor Wen, and is good at riding and shooting. The Yan vassal army rose up, destroyed the enemy's attacks, and made contributions to the expedition. Renzong is in Qinggong, with a kind nature, a strong body, a fat body, and Gao Xu is gentle, thinking that it can be replaced...
People in the royal family may be accompanied by each royal family member. After all, there is only one prince in the throne, but there are many princes. In the game, they are in power, and the blood of fighting for power and profit flows on their bodies. Therefore, for the supreme power, it is very common for brothers to kill each other.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, military coups occurred continuously in less than a hundred years. During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, because the prince Zhu Biao died early, in order to make up for his debt to his eldest son Zhu Biao, he took Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen, which was equivalent to inheriting the throne from generation to generation.
However, the fourth son of the emperor Zhu Di was dissatisfied, so when Zhu Yunwen reduced his vassals, he launched the Jingnan Campaign on the grounds of clearing the monarchy. Zhu Di won the battle of Jingnan in the four years, won the supreme throne, and became the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
As the saying goes, "Grow beans and get melons and get melons." After seeing his father's feat, his son actually became imitated, but ended up in failure and even made a way to die for himself that is hard to find in the ages. This unlucky person is Zhu Gaoxu .
So, what kind of story is there in it? Let’s talk about it today.
Hanwang Zhu Gaoxu
In 1380 AD, Zhu Gaoxu was born in Beiping . His mother was Empress Xu , so he is also considered a direct bloodline. Historically, Zhu Gaochi was a kind and righteous person, but Zhu Gaochi was exactly the opposite of his brother, but he was very similar to his father Zhu Di's personality.
He was a fierce person since childhood. During the Hongwu period, he went to Beijing to study with the princes of the Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhou. As a result, he not only did not like to study but also often fought. The ancients said, "It's better to be three years old." Perhaps Zhu Gaoxu's brave and impulsive personality was destined at this time.
Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang died in the thirty-one year, and the crown prince Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne and became emperor. In order to stabilize his rule, he began to reduce the vassal states. This policy is useful to others, but Zhu Di was very dissatisfied, so the Jingnan Campaign began.
In this war, Zhu Di spent 4 years to capture Nanjing and achieved the final victory, becoming the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It was a good thing that Zhu Di seized the throne, but he should not want to teach what he did to the next generation, but this does not prevent his son from taking him as a role model.
In fact, although Zhu Di rebelled and won the throne, Zhu Gaoxu has always admired him. In the eyes of his son, his father was a hero. The throne of Ming Dynasty should have belonged to Zhu Di.
During the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Gaoxu always led the way for his father, followed his father and fought all the way into Nanjing, making contributions to Zhu Di's capture of the world. We all know that the ancients all advocated the "primary son inheritance system" because it was conducive to the stability of the dynasty.
However, Zhu Di did have the idea of making Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince. He fought with him without any credit and worked hard, so he should be rewarded well. So in a battle he said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Do it well, your elder brother is in poor health after all!" The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Your elder brother may die early if he is not in good health. By that time, you will be the eldest son, and the world of the Ming Dynasty will be yours. Just this sentence aroused Zhu Gaoxu's desire for the throne and laid the root of disaster for him to go to the end of the future.
The choice of abandoning the inheritance system of the eldest son is obviously a way to cause trouble. After becoming emperor, Zhu Di understood the truth, so he did not fulfill his promise until his death, and Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed.
When Zhu Di grows old, Zhu Gaoxu has become a vassal king. When he thinks about his situation at this time, it is exactly the same as his father's situation back then! During the process of his father seizing the world, he made great contributions and became a move forward with blood and fire. He would surely be very successful in the future.
Although Zhu Di can still protect and protect him when he is alive and can live a stable life for two years, once his father dies, his elder brother Zhu Gaochi ascends the throne, wouldn’t he also have to face the situation of his father at that time?
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu was in panic all day long, but Zhu Gaochi was his elder brother. Everyone, his mother, blood is thicker than water. He also believed that the elder brother would not hurt him. This is indeed the case.
inheritance of the throne
Yongle In the 22nd year, Zhu Di died of illness on his way back to the army in the Northern Expedition. According to the court's system, the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne and became emperor. At that time, Zhu Gaoxu's son happened to be in Beijing. He spyed on the every move of the court, and Zhu Gaoxu also intended to rebel.
However, Zhu Gaochi did not guard against his younger brother after learning about this matter. Instead, he increased his salary and rewarded tens of thousands of treasures. His son was all named king. Zhu Gaoxu, who was in a panic all day long, saw his brother treating him like this, gave up rebellion and handed over everything to God, whether he died or lived or not was left to fate.
Reality shows that Zhu Gaochi did not have any signs of killing Zhu Gaoxu. In fact, the reason is very simple. Zhu Gaochi himself has a kind personality and is not the kind of person who ignores family affection at all.
Zhu Gaoxu survived and let go of the breath in his heart. It would be better for the eldest brother to be a wealthy prince himself.
The ancients said, "There are unexpected changes in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune at any time." In 1425 AD, Zhu Gaochi, who had only been the emperor for a few months, passed away. Zhu Gaoxu, who had already given up the position of emperor, rekindled the fire of hope.
At that time, the prince Zhu Zhanji hurriedly returned from outside to ascend the throne. Zhu Gaoxu felt the opportunity had come for a moment and began to work secretly to fight for the throne. According to historical records, Zhu Gaoxu originally planned to set up an ambush and kill Zhu Zhanji halfway, but failed for various reasons.
Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne after returning to Beijing. Seeing that there was no hope of seizing the throne, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but feel empty, as if he had lost something, but the failure of the assassination could not stop him from ambition to seize the throne.
At this moment, he thought of his father. Didn’t Zhu Di win the position of emperor through the Jingnan Battle of Qingjun? Why couldn’t he follow his father and go to Jingnan Battle again? The current situation is very similar to that of the past.
With this idea, Zhu Gaoxu began his own path of death. The reason why this is a path of death is because the opponent Zhu Gaoxu found for him is not at the same level as the opponent facing Emperor Yongle.
He thought that Zhu Zhanji was the young emperor Zhu Yunwen of that year. In fact, although Zhu Zhanji likes to fight crickets and is addicted to it, he can tell when he should do what he should do and work when he should work.
Zhu Zhanji did not slacken at all in governing the country, and also created a prosperous era. He was well versed in the art of power and strategy. For this reason, he also created the system of literati , that is, let eunuchs participate in political affairs.
Let the eunuchs and civil servants live to the death, but Zhu Zhanji sits in the mountains and watches the tiger fight. How can the monarch who can come up with such a clever plan be a fool? Zhu Zhanji may not be able to compare with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, but the difference is not too big. Zhu Gaoxu chose the wrong opponent this time, which was doomed to fail.
commits his own sins and cannot live. After Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne, he treated Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaosui, especially taking special care of the former. Zhu Zhanji will basically agree and thank any suggestions made by Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu did not take this young boy seriously for Zhu Zhanji's show of kindness. He even thought that his nephew's actions were a manifestation of weakness and incompetence, so he became even more arrogant and arrogant in his usual behavior, and even secretly recruited troops to rebel.
In August 1426, Zhu Gaoxu rebelled and joined forces with his confidants from all over the country to threaten Beijing City . Zhu Gaoxu has strength, but unfortunately he is brave but not resourceful, and he mistakenly regards Zhu Zhanji as a kind of Zhu Yunwen.
He thought his rebellion plan was perfect and no one would know about it at all, but unfortunately, Zhu Zhanji had already seen his ambitions and everything he did in his early years was to praise him.
When Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, Zhu Zhanji calmly led the army at the suggestion of the minister. Because the marching speed was very fast, he soon arrived at Zhu Gaoxu's capital. It was not until the guards of the city reported that His Majesty had arrived that Zhu Gaoxu felt a chill behind him.
The regretful feeling arose in Zhu Gaoxu's heart at this moment, but everything was over. For the sake of the current plan, the only way to surrender was to choose. In the end, this mutiny was strangled in the bud, and Zhu Gaoxu surrendered to his nephew.
Zhu Zhanji has been in a dilemma after arresting Zhu Gaoxu. On the one hand, all civil and military officials wrote a letter to ask him to kill him, and on the other hand, his own uncle. As a nephew, he should not kill his uncle.
thoughts over and over again, Zhu Zhanji demoted Zhu Gaochi to a commoner, and the other main leaders who participated in the rebellion were either exiled or killed. From a certain perspective, Zhu Gaoxu's ending was very good, at least he would have a stable life in his later years.
However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know if the string was tied wrongly, so he actually started to make a death by himself. Once, Zhu Zhanji went to Zhu Gaoxu's home to visit him. Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what he was thinking, but he tripped over Zhu Zhanji who was thinking without knowing his own fault. This was obviously a provocation to the emperor.
Zhu Zhan basically wanted to kill Zhu Gaoxu. After this incident, he simply stopped hiding it. He called a few soldiers and tied Zhu Gaoxu up, then threw it into a big bell and ignited it. Then he locked the big bell on the ground, and Zhu Gaoxu inside was burned to charcoal.
Chapter 0 Although Zhu Gaoxu did not ascend the throne and became the emperor, he also experienced a way of death that was rare in the ages, and it did not waste his life. It’s just a pity that all his family were killed because of Zhu Gaoxu’s conspiracy and executed one by one.
It is really a tragic ending of one person who committed suicide and his whole family was affected. Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, ended up being wiped out by his whole family, which is a pity, but it is also a result of his own fault. What do you think about this?
