After two days and two nights of continuous work, Fang Datong sat weakly on the sofa. He didn't mention anything.
After the video was uploaded, this screen appeared in front of the emperors of the universe again.
Because he had already obtained information from the Myriad Worlds Providence Platform.
Everyone was also calm, and even wanted to order some peanut melon seeds eight-treasure porridge
Pui! Pui!
Everyone retreated to their left and right and focused on the screen.
............
In April of the third year of Hongwu (1370), Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, tried every means to strengthen the power of the royal family to ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty.
The specific method was to endow the various sons with the title of king. He made twenty-five members of the imperial clan (twenty-four sons and one great-grandson) vassals and stationed them in the north.
They wanted to use them to suppress the royal family.
Zhu Yuanzhang once said,"The world is so big that it is necessary to build a barrier to protect the country and the people. Now that the sons of the princes have grown up, they should each have their own titles and towns."
The various countries."
Looking at the whole country, there were two main types of vassals: One was the abdomen, and the other was the frontier fortress. The conferred kings established kings in their fiefs
House, set up officials, status is very high, public marquis minister into the prince can kneel down to pay homage.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, every vassal king had military command in addition to food. The vassal king set up a prince guard command department in the prince's residence, with three armies under his jurisdiction.
Guards. There were at least 3000 guards and at most 19,000. The Nine Sai Kings (Liao, Ning, Yan, Gu, Dai, Jin, Qin, Qing, Su)
They had the heavy responsibility of defending against the invasion of the Mongol nobles, so they had many guards. Zhu Di, the fourth son of the emperor of Beiping, had an army of 100,000.
The seventh son, King Ning Zhu Quan, had 80,000 soldiers and 6,000 chariots.
They were in charge of building cities and opening up wasteland, training generals and soldiers, patrolling vital points, and supervising the manufacture of weapons. The King of Jin and the King of Yan went out to fight many times and defeated Meng.
The remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty were especially valued by Ming Taizu, and the generals in the army were all under his control. He even issued a special edict to the two kings 'armies to decide on small matters by themselves, and only then did the major events begin.
The imperial court reported.
Especially the King of Yan, Zhu Di. Because of his outstanding achievements, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to "control the soldiers and horses along the border" and had a supreme status. The expansion of the vassal king's power,
It would definitely pose a threat to the central government. When Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the titles of kings, Ye Boju, who was the instructor of Pingyao County at that time,
He pointed out that the vassal kings were too powerful and would not fall after a few generations. At that time, if they were to cut off the vassals, it would probably lead to the "rebellion of the seven kingdoms" in the Han Dynasty.
The tragedy of the Rebellion of the Eight Princes in the Western Jin Dynasty. He reminded Zhu Yuanzhang to "restrict the system of his capital, reduce his guards, and limit his territory." Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang not listen,
Instead of persuading him, he put him in prison and died.
In the enfeoffment, Zhu Yuanzhang once stipulated that all the kings who were conferred must leave the capital and go to the fief. The princes are not allowed to go to each other
Even if they entered the court, they could not come at the same time. One King had to leave the capital before the other King could set off. The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's move was to avoid the kings
They connected with each other and fought against the center. Therefore, when the kings went to the vassal states, it could be said to be a parting of life and death. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's good intentions failed to
He received the expected result.
In July of the 31st year of Hongwu (1398), Emperor Jianwen cut off the title of King Zhu of Zhou. Because the king of Zhou Zhu Wei is the brother of the king of Yan, and Zhu Yunwen and Yan
The king was in cahoots, so he decided to abolish the king first. At that time, the second son of the King of Zhou, Zhu Youyu, reported his father's rebellion, so he sent Cao Guogong Li Jinglong to guard the border.
After passing Kaifeng, he escorted the whole family of the King of Zhou back to Nanjing, deposed them as commoners, and moved to Menghua, Yunnan (now west of Kunming and south of Dali).
In April of the first year of Jianwen (1399), the imperial court cut off the three princes of Qi, Xiang, and Dai and deposed them as commoners. Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, couldn't bear to be humiliated, so he kept his reputation.
Liu Jie's family self-immolated, King of Qi Zhu was placed under house arrest in Nanjing; The acting king, Zhu Gui, was placed under house arrest in his fief, Datong. Two months later, the Ming court removed the King of Min, Zhu Wei, and deposed him.
As a civilian, he was transferred to Zhangzhou.
As the imperial court cut the vassals and intensified the conflict, the vassal kings and the imperial court began to break off. At this time, the strongest King of Yan became the real leader of the vassals. and
The game between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di also gradually intensified. In December of the 31st year of Hongwu (1398), in order to guard against the rebellion of the King of Yan, Zhu Yunwen
Zhang Wei, assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed as the governor of Peiping, and Xie Gui and Zhang Xin were appointed as the commanders of Peiping. Then, he ordered Governor Song Zhong to station his troops.
He also transferred the troops under the jurisdiction of the King of Yan from the Northern Plains.
When the King of Yan, Zhu Di, saw that several vassal kings had been cut off one after another, he understood that he would not be able to escape this disaster if this continued, so he fought for time while fighting.
Get ready. In order to buy time, in the first year of Jianwen (1399), Zhu Di pretended to be ill and asked Emperor Hui to release his three sons back to Peiping. Later, because his subordinates were courted
The court sentenced him to death and pretended to be crazy. However, due to the betrayal of the Prince's Mansion Chief Shi Ge Cheng, he secretly reported to the court that the King of Yan was pretending to be ill. Zhu Di pretended to be crazy and was discovered. And my heart has long
He was dissatisfied with his father's appointment of his nephew as his great-grandson, so he immediately lured Yu Jianwen, a general who came to carry out the surveillance and arrest mission, to death.
In July of the first year (1399), they rebelled against the central government of the Ming Dynasty.
..........
At this moment, in Taiming Imperial Palace.
Zhu Di clenched his fists.
Half a month ago.
He allied with Ning Wang and the other vassal kings to attack Emperor Jianwen's capital.
He forced Emperor Jianwen to abandon the city and flee overseas.
After Zhu Di sat on the throne, he should have been in high spirits.
However, the civil officials, scholars, and even the common people all said that he was a traitor who killed the emperor and seized power.
There was also Fang Xiaoru who refused to draft an edict for him. Zhu Di was so angry that he wanted to kill Fang Xiaoru's ten clans!
Zhu Di felt that he was right.
But he couldn't shut everyone up.
Moreover, he would have to bear the eternal infamy of regicide and usurpation of power.
He felt empty and anxious.
After becoming the most powerful person in the world, he realized that his wife seemed to be estranged from him. His son was also starting to be afraid of him. He was really alone!
He didn't need to be recognized by others, but he hoped to receive a fair evaluation from history.
.........
Zhu Yuanzhang spat out a mouthful of blood.
These were all his biological sons. Each and every one of them had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He did not expect that after his death, each and every one of them would end up in such a miserable state.
A tragic ending!
He kept talking about his son, especially Prince Xiang. He was his most beloved son!
At the thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife. His eyes rolled back and he fell on his back!
The Great Ming Imperial Palace instantly fell into chaos.
