The short videos I watched from all dynasties

(Note: This article adopts the view that the five princes, namely, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Prince of Qin Zhu Chong, Prince of Jin Zhu Gang, Prince of Yan Zhu Di, and Prince of Zhou Zhu Su, were all born to Empress Ma.)

It's the last video, so of course I have to watch it to the end. Li Ranran was no longer sleepy and was ready to watch the last episode. This last one must be about Chengzu.

[Who is his biological father? Was his death an injustice or a deliberate murder? Why are there so many different opinions about his life story? 3]

【 Hello everyone, this is a history story every day. Finally, we have come to our last video. Why are there so many different opinions about his life story?

After Zhu Di succeeded in his campaign of rebellion, he destroyed and deleted all the historical materials that were unfavorable to his becoming emperor. Therefore, who Zhu Di's biological mother was has become an eternal mystery.

According to official history, Zhu Di was the fourth son of Empress Ma. The eldest was the Crown Prince, the second was the Prince of Qin, the third was the Prince of Jin, and the fourth was the Prince of Yan. During the Jingnan Campaign, all of Zhu Di's older brothers died, so he was legitimately the emperor.

People deny that Zhu Di was born to Empress Ma because when Crown Prince Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose from the remaining sons but from the Crown Prince's sons. Zhu Yuanzhang always implemented the eldest son inheritance system, so some people say that only Zhu Biao is the legitimate son, and the others are illegitimate sons. 】

[In the "Tianhuang Yudie" compiled by Zhu Di later, it was written even more strangely, saying that Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Prince of Qin Zhu Chong, and Prince of Jin Zhu Tan were all born to Concubine Li Shufei, all of them were illegitimate. Only he and Prince of Zhou Zhu Tan were the legitimate sons of Empress Ma.

There is also a saying that the mothers of Prince of Yan Zhu Di and Prince of Zhou Zhu Su were Concubine Xi, while the mothers of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Prince of Qin, and Prince of Jin were Concubine Li Shu.

It is recorded that Prince of Zhou Zhu Su was Zhu Di's half-brother. When Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen asked Huang Zicheng what to do when he was reducing the power of the princes, Huang Zicheng said, "If we want to punish the criminals, we should start with Zhou. Prince of Zhou is the mother's brother of Yan. To reduce the power of Zhou is to cut off the hands and feet of Yan." So he deposed Prince of Zhou and exiled him to Yunnan. Later, when Prince of Yan became too powerful, he was imprisoned and sent back to Nanjing.

This proves that Zhu Su and Zhu Di were brothers from the same mother. After Zhu Di successfully came to power after the Jingnan Rebellion, he rewarded Zhu Su and gave him some things alone. It can be said that he was not kind to him.

Furthermore, in the "Biographies of Empresses and Concubines in the History of Ming Dynasty", it says: "The emperor, because the concubine had no son, ordered Prince Zhou Su to mourn for his loving mother for three years, and the Crown Prince and all the princes followed suit." When Concubine Sun died, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Su to mourn for her for three years because she had no son.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang choose Zhu Su to mourn for Concubine Sun? Wasn't Zhu Su a legitimate son? Besides, it seemed inappropriate to let her son mourn for a concubine when Empress Ma was still alive. So they said that their mother was actually Concubine Xi, but Zhu Yuanzhang tortured Concubine Xi for being unfaithful, and then gave Zhu Di and Zhu Su to Empress Ma to raise. 】

[There is also a saying that Empress Ma was infertile. In fact, whether it was the Crown Prince or the Prince of Qin, Prince of Jin, Prince of Yan, Prince of Zhou... they were all illegitimate children. It was just that Empress Ma liked children and raised them herself.

Just... um... I think it's outrageous. No matter how you make it up, you can't say that Empress Ma has no children, right? ? ?

The last one is the most outrageous, saying that Zhu Di is actually the posthumous son of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty...

I checked the source and the earliest source is not available, but in "The Origin of Mongolia" written by Sanang Chechen, which is known as one of the three major historical books of the Mongolian people, it is recorded:

"First, in the year of Wushen of Mongolian Toyan Temur Uhagatu Khan (Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty), the Han Chinese Zhu Genuo (Zhu Yuanzhang) Yannian was 25 years old and seized the capital city. He ascended the throne and was called Zhu Hongwu Khan of the Ming Dynasty. The third wife of Uhagahutu Khan (Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty) was the daughter of Hongjilat Tokto, named Gehuledhatun. She was pregnant for seven months and was accepted by Hongwu Khan. Three months later, in the year of Wushen, a boy was born."

This man refers to Zhu Di. This directly declares that Zhu Di is actually the son of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, I personally tend to believe the official history. Empress Ma gave birth to five sons, all of them legitimate sons.

After all, didn’t Zhu Yunwen say, “I am the closest relative to Prince Di, and I cannot bear to investigate his affairs thoroughly.” And during the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di also used the fact that he was the younger brother of Prince Yiwen to gain sympathy…

Well, everyone has their own opinions. If you have any questions, please discuss them in the comment section. Bye! 】

＜The most unbelievable one is the one who said he was the posthumous son of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty. The time doesn't match at all. Moreover, Zhu Di said at the beginning of the Jingnan Campaign that he was the legitimate son of Emperor Taizu Gao and Empress Xiaoci Gao. As long as he was not Zhu Yunwen, there would definitely be a public opinion offensive...＞

＜Zhu Di was definitely not born to Empress Ma. The first and second sons died before they were 40, and the third son died at the age of 41. Empress Ma also died of illness at the age of 51. Then what about Zhu Di? He fought wars every day and lived for more than 60 years…＞

＜That’s it??? Zhu Di’s younger brother Zhu Su was also over 60 years old, and their father Zhu Yuanzhang lived to be 71 years old [speechless]…＞

＜Let’s not talk about anything else. The second child died a violent death at that time. It was his own fault. How can this be accounted for? ? ?＞

＜ The Tianhuang Yudie is controversial. It is said that it was changed twice. At first, all five of them were legitimate children. Later, during the Jiajing period, it became only him and his younger brother Zhu Chong. Then, during the Wanli period, it was changed back again... ＞

＜ Anyway, I think the history of Ming Dynasty is so confusing. Zhu Di made changes to it himself and the Qing Dynasty also spent a hundred years compiling the history of Ming Dynasty…＞

＜ The last one is about unofficial history, right? I can list them for you: Wanyan clan is the descendant of Wang clan of Langya, Jin Wushu is the reincarnation of Zhao Kuangyin, Temujin is the descendant of Liu Bang, Emperor Shun of Yuan is the son of Emperor Gongzong of Song, Zhu Di is the son of Emperor Shun of Yuan, Aisin-Gioro is the descendant of Emperor Huizong of Song…＞

＜ My personal answer to Zhu Yuanzhang: I am a legitimate child＞

＜Image Comments: Picture of Empress Ma, Picture of Zhu Di

Look how similar they look. How can they not be biological children? >

＜ Okay, okay, stop arguing. Why don’t we just dig up Zhu Yuanzhang, who lives in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, and Zhu Di, who lives in the Changling Mausoleum in Beijing, and do a paternity test? ［狗头］＞

……

Is this true or not? Regarding Zhu Di’s biological mother, Li Ranran once believed in unofficial history. Aren’t there many experts who say that Zhu Di was not born to Empress Ma?

The other people under the sky curtain really ate a big bite of melon, and the people who were pointed out by the sky curtain were going crazy. What kind of wild history is this!!!

Also, is the future so cruel? They will open tombs and dig up corpses!

The Zhu family is the craziest.

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 26th year

Being a brother to Zhu Di is really unlucky! I, the son of the queen of the Prince of Qin/Prince of Jin, am still being questioned because of Zhu Di!

Damn, how come it only proves that my fourth brother and I are born from the same mother? I am also the mother's biological child, right? ! ! It turns out that it is not good to be too tightly locked with my fourth brother...

When they saw the part about reducing the power of princes, the princes were shocked and glared at Zhu Yunwen. Well, he looked simple, kind and filial, but he turned his back on his relatives after he came to power!

Zhu Yunwen was a little scared. Well... this... he must reduce the power of the princes!

Prince of Zhou Zhu Su looked at Zhu Di lovingly and said, "Fourth brother is still the best. He released me as soon as he came to the throne and is still so good to me. Fourth brother is still the best person in the world."

Zhu Di also smiled back at Zhu Su.

"You wicked grandson! You imprisoned my son!" Zhu Yuanzhang roared. He could reduce the power of the vassal states, but couldn't he treat them well? He abolished them and exiled them to Yunnan. Zhu Yuanzhang felt uneasy, thinking that no one would die, so he gave Zhu Yunwen a fierce look.

Zhu Yunwen also began to panic, what did I do in the future? ? ?

"Why did I die an unnatural death? Why did I suffer the consequences of my own actions? Tianmu, will you die if you say more?" King Qin Zhu Chong was anxious now.

The Prince of Jin, Zhu Gang, who shared the same suffering, was also panicked: "Is this prince dying of illness? This prince is in his prime?"

Another old person dies a young person. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qin Wang Zhu Chong and Jin Wang Zhu Gang in silence. Although these two are good-for-nothings, God still wants me to experience the pain of losing my sons!

Unable to find a way to vent his anger, he said to Zhu Di: "I told you not to change the historical data! Zhu Di! You even killed your eldest brother's legitimate eldest son. Why don't you tell me who your mother is? How could my old Ma be childless? I have five sons and two daughters! How did you become the posthumous child of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty?"

Zhu Di felt wronged: "Dad, I am your biological son..."

"Bullshit, you were born by your mother, I really don't want to acknowledge you!"

"It's just usurping the throne. What did you change? Didn't you see it? The more you change, the more suspicious I become! It's fine if you implicate yourself, but what about implicate your own parents and your elder brother?"

Qin Wang Zhu Chong fanned the flames: "That's right, one has an extra hat, one is rumored to be infertile, and the other is forced to become a bastard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and kicked Qin Wang Zhu Chong again, saying, "You are so talkative! You have an extra hat!"

When he saw the last sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious again: "You also moved the capital for me? Explain why you are in Changling, Beijing?"

Zhu Di: “…” How do I know?

"Perhaps I am more familiar with Peking?"

"Oh, what do you mean by familiar? It's obviously you who rebelled and are afraid to live in Nanjing!" Jin Wang Zhu Gang added.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered these princes to go to Fengyang to experience life after the Tianmu ended. Didn't Tianmu say that his vassal policy was not good for raising pigs? It seems that how to deal with the vassal kings is still under discussion.
