Previous episode We tell the story of Zhu Gaosui html before his age of 540. In 1424, after his father Zhu Di died, his elder brother Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne.
What kind of story happened in a few years after Zhu Gaosui's life? What impact does the change in his own attitude have on the entire Zhao King branch? Let's continue talking today.

- The elder brother ascended the throne and promoted his annual salary. He was the vassal of Zhangde and abandoned Changshan
After the end of the "Meng Xian Incident", based on the established facts that happened later, we can analyze that Zhu Gaosui had realized.
1424, his elder brother Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne at the age of 46 and became Emperor Hongxi . Zhu Gaochi increased his annual salary to 20,000 stones for King Zhao Zhu Gaosui. Originally, in the 28th year of Hongwu (1395), Zhu Yuanzhang set the prince-level annual salary to 10,000 stones. At this moment, he was able to obtain 20,000 stones of annual salary. shows that Zhu Gaochi was still very fond of and indulged in this younger brother born to his mother.
On May 3 of the following year, Zhu Gaosui, who had been staying in Yongle for 5 years, finally went to his fiefdom to his fiefdom at the age of 42. 's fiefdom is located in Zhangde Prefecture, Henan Province, and its jurisdiction is very large, including Hebi, Linzhou, Henan Province, Tangyin , Anyang , and Hebei Province Shexian, Cixian, Linzhang, Wu'an and other cities and counties. It is a large area of land. The territory of the prefecture is located in Anyang County , and the Zhangde Prefecture Office was changed to Zhaowang Mansion. Since then, the Zhao Wang branch has lived in Zhangde Mansion for generations. After vassalizing Zhangde Mansion, Zhu Gaosui voluntarily gave up the left and right guards of Changshan County, which is now Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.
It is said that the emperor rewarded land, money and grain, and Gao Shu handed over military power. In fact, this was the most appropriate expression at that time.
Under the rule model of Ming Dynasty at that time, the so-called prime minister's power was able to check and balance the imperial power, which gradually evolved into the power of the cabinet in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The executor of imperial power was implemented through eunuchs, so this is also the reason for the huge power of eunuchs in the middle and late Ming dynasties. On the contrary, as a relative of the emperor, even if you are the most noble prince, such as Zhu Gaosui, the protagonist of this article, you have almost no actual power. You are just lying in the fiefdom to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep.
And this is what Zhu Gaosui, the protagonist of this article, does.
- Gao Xu failed and was arrested together. Yang Wenzhen advised Xuanzong to sue
26 days after Zhu Gaosui took office, his elder brother, Emperor Hongxi, Zhu Gaochi, suddenly died, and the prince , Zhu Zhanji, ascended the throne, was Emperor Xuande.
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the next step was the vigorous "Zhu Gaoxu Rebellion". This incident was mentioned many times, so I will not repeat it here. In 1426, when Zhu Zhanji personally led his troops to quell the Gao Xu rebellion, Chen Shan, then Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came to Danqiao, today Hebei Province to welcome Zhu Zhanji's return. According to historical records, at this time, Chen Shan suggested that Emperor Zhu Zhanji quickly capture Zhu Gaosui because he and Zhu Gaoxu had been plotting against each other for a long time. If Zhu Gaosui was not captured, Zhu Gaosui might also rebel in the future, and the emperor might have to work hard to quell the rebellion. The paragraph of comes from the records of " Ming Shi ". We use facts as a basis to judge. Is this statement logical?
The image of Gao Chi, Gao Xu and Gao Sui in the TV series
It is obvious that Shengyu firmly believes that this is illogical. Zhu Gaoxu's affairs have fallen. Zhu Gaosui may have been in love with him back then. Welcoming Zhu Gaoxu's future is entirely determined by Zhu Gaoxu's own attitude. If you want to arrest Zhu Gaosui at this time, is a self-thinking idea to make a "criminal inference" about others, which is obviously irrational. As the Minister of Revenue, if Chen Shan could say such a passage, his decades of books would be in vain. At that time, he was 61 years old and had the position of a Grand Secretary. He had also been the imperial tutor of Zhu Zhanji. So to sum up, I personally think that the Qing Dynasty revision "History of Ming Dynasty" has once again added artistic polish.
is also a record of this "History of Ming Dynasty". After hearing Chen Shan's argument, Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was hesitant. , only one of the "Three Yangs", , Yang Shiqi, , believes that it is not possible, and finally strongly advises that "guess-based arrest" cannot be carried out without any guilt.
Historical records, after Zhu Gaoxu was arrested and went to Beijing, "had sent someone to conspire with Zhu Gaosui." is very fantastic again. Zhu Gaoxu lost his freedom at that time. Who could he send to conspire with Zhu Gaosui? What is the result of the plan? Did Zhu Gaosui agree? There is no historical facts about . So, sometimes, it’s good to watch “History of Ming Dynasty”, and there’s no need to take it seriously.
The exact historical fact is that the next year, Zhu Gaoxu and his family were executed because of the Gaoxu rebellion, and Zhu Gaosui took the initiative to contact Emperor Xuanzong that he was willing to give up Changshan Zhongwei, the group shepherd's office and the Yiwei Department's official school. But in the end, Zhu Zhanji just took back his guards and left the herds office and the official school to Zhu Gaosui. Obviously, the uncle and nephew trust each other.
- Death in Anyang, and his eldest son died young and his second son
has been returned to the guards of Changshan, since 1427, there have been few records of Zhu Gaosui. We have a high probability of guessing that he is determined to live his life in his Changde Mansion. After all, in 1427, he was 44 years old and well maintained, and perhaps he could live longer.
was born as a general with sharp eyes
1431, Zhu Gaosui passed away at the age of 48. However, according to the customs of the ancients, because he was born in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 1382, the Ming Dynasty, whose age was not considered as 50 years old, would be considered as cognitive. After his death, Zhu Gaosui was named "Jian", which is said to be "Jian", "A virtue is called "Jian"; a simple and unruly person is called "Jian"; a simple and unruly person is called "Jian"; an upright and innocent person is called "Jian". Obviously, this is a beautiful posthumous, so Zhu Gaosui is also known in history as Zhao Jianwang .
Zhu Gaosui is not like his eldest brother, the second brother has many children, he only has three sons. However, although his second brother had more than a dozen sons, he failed to leave a single descendant. They were all sentenced to death by Xuanzong after the Gao Xu rebellion.
The eldest son Zhu Zhan Ni was born in November 1411, with his mother Weng;
second son Zhu Zhan Han , born in December 1412, with his mother Weng;
third son is not named, a few days younger than the second son, and died after birth, no other records are found.
When his eldest son was born, Zhu Gaosui was 28 years old. It seems that it can be confirmed from the side that Zhu Gaosui is not a free-spirited prince who does nothing but knows how to create people with boredom. We can logically guess that he may be very similar to his father, hoping to expand his territory and realize his life value in the war. Of course, there is no evidence, so it is purely speculation.
1424, after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he appointed Zhu Gaosui's eldest son Zhu Zhandi as the prince of Zhao. Unfortunately, Zhu Zhandi died in 1427 at the age of 16 and had no descendants. After Zhu Gaosui passed away, his only surviving son Zhu Zhanhan succeeded to the throne of King Zhao as the county king Anyang king.
- Two princesses first abolished their soldiers, and finally Weng was born with him
Zhu Gaosui also has a little uniqueness. He had three princesses in his life.
Here, let’s talk about the marriage system in ancient times. Speaking of this, perhaps some friends will blurt out the “polygamy” system, which is a mistake! The correct statement should be "monogamy and multiple concubines".
In ancient China, etiquette and status were very important. There could not be many wives, only one, and the rest of the women could not be called wives, but only concubines. Similarly, the same is true for the royal family. There is only one princess, and the rest are called "concubines".
So why did Zhu Gaosui experience three princesses? Because of the first two princesses, they died one after another.
The first princess is Xu, the niece of the Ming Dynasty general He Fu , which we mentioned in the previous series. Xu is also the daughter of civil servant Xu Zhang. 1410, He Fu committed suicide, or was "successful". This Xu family was largely implicated by their uncle He Fu. In 1411, Xu was abolished for being "no child" and "a few more deceitful deeds". At that time, it only took one reason to abolish the family of a criminal. The fate of the deposed Xu family is beyond proof of history, and it is likely to die of anger.
The second princess was enthroned after Xu was deposed. In the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 1411, Mu Shi, the daughter of Duke Qian of Mu Sheng, was enthroned as a princess. Mu Sheng, will this name look familiar? Please read the article "Selected Lectures of the Ming Dynasty's Void Kings-Min Wang Zhu Yu", which tells in detail the decades of struggle between him and Min Wang Zhu Yu in Yunnan. Mu had not given birth to a son for Zhu Gaosui. Whether he had ever given birth to a daughter cannot be verified. Zhu Gaosui had three daughters in his life, and none of them recorded their birth year and their mother. In 1423, Mu passed away. After the two princesses left one after another, Zhu Gaosui strongly advocated the support of Weng, the concubine who gave birth to her eldest son and second son, and became the third princess. Weng was born in 1489 and was 34 years old at the time. Weng's father was Weng Lu, the general of the Changshan Zhongwei Punishment under Zhu Gaosui. Since then, Weng has accompanied Zhu Gaosui for the rest of his life.
1440, Weng died at the age of 51, which is called 52 years old according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty. Weng was buried with Zhu Gaosui in Shou'an Mountain, Anyang City, Henan Province.
- In his later years, Gao Shui may have thought about himself, and later King Zhao was low-key
According to historical facts, we can logically judge that after received courtesy from two emperors Renzong Xuanzong, Zhu Gaoshu really began to think about his life.
One is the eldest brother and the other is the eldest nephew. Even the Qing Dynasty dare not erase the glory of " Renxuan Zhizhi ". It can be imagined that Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji can definitely be regarded as virtuous kings. So, after the Gao Xu rebellion, Zhu Gaosui also completely kept a low profile. Of course, the TV series is about him being "forever banned" by Zhu Zhanji. This is a bit magical. It seems that this record is not found in history books.
Because Zhu Gaosui figured out some problems in his later years and stopped making trouble. Of course, he couldn't make trouble when he was old. This also affected the King of Zhao in later generations. We can say responsibly that King of Zhao in later generations of basically lived a low-key life.
If you want to know the little stories in the Zhao King branch in later generations, we will continue to talk about it in the next episode.
