Among these 26 sons, Zhu Biao, the eldest son, and Judy, the fourth son, are the best known. These two men were originally iron future emperors, but they walked in front of their parents and missed the throne. The other was originally a vassal, but he rose up and rebelled, and finally succeeded in dismounting his nephew and sitting on the throne himself, creating a prosperous time. It's normal to have a high reputation.
So what happened to Zhu Yuanzhang's other sons? Let's have a look.
1, the well-off emperor Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao was born in Zheng Zheng for fifteen years (1355), and his biological mother was Ma Huanghou, Zhu Yuanzhang's original wife. It is precisely because of his eldest son's identity that Zhu Biao was valued by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, and he taught him carefully, and his Confucian attainments were not low.
In the first year of Hongwu (1368), Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and made Zhu Biao the Crown Prince. In fact, there are no other candidates. First, Zhu Biao is the eldest son, and his identity is there; Secondly, Zhu Biao is generous and very friendly to his younger brothers. He intercedes for anyone who commits a crime, so he enjoys high prestige among his younger brother.
However, Zhu Biao did not live Zhu Yuanzhang. In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1392), he returned to Ning from Shaanxi and died of cold at the age of 38. He was named "Prince Wen Yi".
In the first year of Wen Jian (1399), Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, honoring his father Zhu Biao as a well-off emperor. However, it was later abolished by Judy, and the Hong Guang regime in Nanming was also called the well-off emperor, so the history of the Ming Dynasty continued.
2. Qin Wangzhu.
Zhu Biao, the same mother and brother, was clever when he was young. Yan Yiying and Hong Wu were crowned King of Qin in three years (1370), when he was fifteen years old. In the 11th year of Hongwu (1378), Zhushang became a vassal state of Xi 'an and one of the most prosperous nine cities in Ming Dynasty.
There is nothing wrong with Zhu Shang guarding the border, but he usually makes a lot of mistakes. Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with this, so he recalled Nanjing and asked Zhu Biao to visit Guanshan.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, Zhu Shang estimated that he would spend the rest of his life in Nanjing. However, Zhu Biao, who came back from the cruise, tried his best to defend Zhu Shang, but Zhu Yuanzhang relented and let Zhu Shang return to China.
In the 28th year of Hongwu (1395), in the first month, on the orders of his father, Zhu Shang led Pingqiang general Zheng Ning and others to conquer Zhou Tao (in present-day Gansu) and received a lot of rewards.
In the same year, Zhu Shang died, and he was called "Lu", which was a kind of sympathy.
3. Gong Jin Wang Zhu.
Like his mother and brother, Zhu Biao's nine major cities are crowded with Wang Zhiyi.
Zhu Yan's face value is very high, and she looks imposing and has a high IQ. She studied literature from Song Lian and calligraphy from Du Huan. These were famous artists at that time, and Zhu Yuanzhang specially asked her to teach the prince, so Zhu received a very comprehensive education.
In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Zhu Feng was the king of Jin, and in the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378), he was in Taiyuan.
Zhu's cultural level is not low, but his quality is really hard to say. On the way to Jiufan, he whipped the cook and was admonished by Zhu Yuanzhang. No one can hit a chef. Do you want to be poisoned?
But because of Zhu's nature, Zhu Yuanzhang's advice can only be used for a few days. He acts recklessly at home and often breaks the law. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang accused him. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and wanted to be punished. It was Zhu Biao's full protection that made him safe and sound.
After this incident, Zhu became more mature and more respectful to Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang paid more attention to Zhu and controlled the founding generals such as Song Guogong and Ying Guogong Fu Youde.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu (1398), Zhu died in posthumous title.
4. Ming Zhu.
Judy was born in Zheng Zheng for twenty years (1360) in Yingtianfu (now Nanjing). His birth mother has many doubts. Judy claims to have been born in Ma Huanghou, but his credibility is disputed.
In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Judy, aged 10, was made the Prince of Yan. In the 13th year of Hongwu (1380), Judy became a vassal of Beiping and one of the nine major cities in Wang Zhiyi.
In Peiping, Judy was ordered to participate in northern military activities many times, led two northern expeditions, and once captured Mongolian Nair Buhua alive, and captured the general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Sorin Timur alive. His brilliant military achievements made Judy establish her influence in the northern army.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's later years, Zhu Biao, Zhu Shang and Zhu died one after another and became the first kings. He also thought that he might become the heir to the throne. Who thought that Zhu Yuanzhang decided that his nephew Zhu Yunwen was the great-grandson of the emperor, and the throne was out of reach with Judy?
But fate, who knows? Under the pressure of Zhu Yunwen's strategy of reducing vassals, Judy launched the battle of Jingnan and successfully entered Nanjing. His life and death are unknown. Judy ascended the throne in Nanjing, changed to Yongle, and began his world tour.
During Judy's reign, she set up the Special Affairs Council of Guizhou Province, sent Zheng He to the Western Seas many times, ordered people to compile the Yongle Grand Ceremony, moved the capital to Beijing, and levied taxes on Mongolia. It strengthened the rule of the Ming Dynasty and developed into a prosperous time with prosperous economy and strong national strength, which is called "Yongle Prosperity" in history.
In the 22nd year of Yongle (1424), he died in Yumuchuan on his way back to Li in the Northern Expedition and was buried in Changling, with the temple name Taizong.
5. Zhou Zhu.
Judy, her mother and her younger brother were raised by Cheng Mu's imperial concubine since childhood. After the death of Sun Guifei, Zhu Kui mourned for three years.
In the third year of Hongwu (1370), he was named King of Wu. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Wu was a land of national wealth and was not suitable for building princes. In the 11th year of Hongwu (1378), Zhu was renamed King Zhou and lived in Fengyang with King Chu and King Zhu Chu of Qi.
In the 14th year of Hongwu (138 1 year), Zhu Kui became a vassal of Kaifeng, making Song Palace his home. Later, he was ordered to personally lead the military service to Beiping to help deliver food and grass.
In the twenty-second year of Hongwu (1389), Zhu Kuiyin left the fief for Fengyang without authorization, and was moved to Yunnan by Zhu Yuanzhang. In fact, he was exiled. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly changed his decision, leaving Zhu Xi in Nanjing and putting him back in the fief two years later.
After Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he began to separate the princes. Judy, the prince of Yan, is the most powerful of all kings, and is the key point of the warlord's separatist regime, and Zhu Kui is Judy's half-brother. Zhu Yunwen is worried that he will support Judy and take care of him.
Zhu himself had an idea. He pretended to be crazy, left his job and went home to prepare, but his second son reported him. Li Jinglong led an army to raid Kaifeng and arrested Zhu. Zhu was exiled to Yunnan and later recalled to Nanjing for imprisonment.
After Judy acceded to the throne, Zhu Hui resumed his title and returned to China. After that, he voluntarily surrendered the military power and collected books safely.
Zhu Kui once organized the compilation of medical classics such as Life-saving, Pocket Prescription, Puji Prescription and Herb for Saving Wild Grass, and spread them during his exile in Yunnan, which made great contributions to the development of southwest medicine and even had an important impact on medical classics in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica quoted many classics.
In the first year of Emperor Hongxi's Injong in Ming Dynasty (1425), Zhu died of illness and posthumous title was "settled".

Born to Princess Dading. In the third year of Hongwu (1370), he was named King of Qi. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), he became a vassal of Qingzhou Prefecture (in present-day Shandong Province).
Hongwu participated in the Northern Expedition, so he was proud of his military achievements. During Zhu Chu's reign, he was exiled by Zhu Yunwen for crimes, then abandoned as Shu Ren and imprisoned in Beijing.
After Judy ascended the throne, he restored the throne of Zhu Cong and made him a vassal. However, a few years later, due to misconduct, Judy cut the seal again, abolished it as Shu Ren, and placed it under house arrest until her death.
In the third year of Xuanzong Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1428), there was a man in Fujian who claimed to be the "King of Seven Houses and Little Qi" with bad intentions and was later suppressed. In the same year, Zhu Chu and his three sons all died suddenly, at the age of 64. There was no posthumous title, and Nan Ming chased posthumous title.
8. Wang Tan Zhu Xi.
Born to Princess Dading, Hongwu became the altar king in the third year (1370). Hongwu lived in Changsha in the eighteenth year (1385).
Zhu Zi should be studious and good at writing articles. He usually likes to ask literati to write poems and hold banquets. In addition, his fief is not at the border, so it is very leisurely.
However, this leisure was broken in the 23rd year of Hongwu (1390). This year, Hu committed a crime and Zhu Yuanzhang killed someone. Zhu Xi's father-in-law Yu Xian and brother-in-law Yu Hu were involved in the Hu case and lost their lives. Zhu Xi, who knew that his father was a man, was extremely distressed.
Soon Zhu Yuanzhang sent condolences to Zhu Xi and called him into the palace. Zhu Xi was scared to death. Finally, he gritted his teeth and set himself on fire with Princess Yu. Without children, the country is ruined and not dead.
9. Zhu.
In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Wang Zhao was blocked, and he died in December of the same year, at the age of three, without posthumous title.

Chun Zhu loves literature, has elegant manners, and has many contacts with celebrities. He should be the most learned of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, and Zhu Yuanzhang called him "the top scholar in Sichuan".
Chun Zhu's low-tax civil administration in Shu greatly prospered the culture and economy of Shu, while Chun Zhu successfully escaped the exile of Zhu Yunwen and Judy because he didn't run an army, and died safely in the 21st year of Yongle (1423) at the age of 53. Posthumous title "offered".

Bai Zhu once led troops to pacify the rebellion in Changde, and also crusaded against Guzhou Man with Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu. However, during the Crusade, Bai Zhu fully showed his Taoist tendency, calling himself Xu Zi, and took the opportunity to travel.
Although Bai Zhu had a tendency of Taoist thought, he did not forget the affairs of state, which was obviously what the emperor was worried about. Therefore, during the reign of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen summoned Bai Zhu for questioning on the grounds of printing money privately.
Bai Zhu knew that most of his travels were doomed to failure, so he simply took his own life and set himself on fire behind closed doors.

After Judy acceded to the throne, she restored Zhu Gui's title, but Zhu Gui's character doomed him to be stabbed, which was the focus of Judy's reduction of vassals.

It is also because of its powerful strength that Zhu Quan, who has been holding a wait-and-see attitude, took aim at Judy, dragged him down from the muddy water of the Jingnan War and turned against Zhu Yunwen. After Judy proclaimed herself emperor, she was on high alert for Zhu Quan, renamed Nanchang, and constantly put pressure on it.
