From the following information, it can be seen that Fang Xiaoru did not write the "Edict of Enthronement" for Zhu Di at all
After Zhu Di occupied Nanjing, Fang Xiaoru really refused to surrender. Because Yao Guangxiao had asked him in advance, Zhu Di did not kill him, but put him in prison.
Zhu Di also respected Fang Xiaoru's literary name. A few days later, when Zhu Di was about to ascend the throne, he wanted to ask Fang Xiaoru to draft an edict for him to ascend the throne. At the same time, he also hoped to use Fang Xiaoru's fame to set an example of surrender for the world's scholars, so Zhu Di repeatedly sent people to prison to recruit Fang Xiaoru to surrender. Fang Xiaoru refused to comply, so Zhu Di sent Fang Xiaoru's students Liao Yong and Liao Ming to persuade him, but they were severely reprimanded by Fang Xiaoru.
In desperation, Zhu Di had no choice but to send someone to forcibly escort Fang Xiaoru to the palace. However, Fang Xiaoru was wearing a beheaded suit (ancient mourning clothes were divided into five levels according to the relationship between the living and the dead, with beheaded being the most severe). Crying profusely. Zhu Di immediately ordered the Jinyi Guards to forcibly tear off Fang Xiaoru's mourning clothes and put on court clothes.
Zhu Di suppressed his anger and personally persuaded Fang Xiaoru. He made an exception and set up a seat for him. He stood up and comforted him: "Sir, don't be sad! I originally wanted to follow the example of Duke Zhou in assisting the king." Fang Xiaoru immediately asked: " Where is King Cheng?" Zhu Di said, "He burned himself to death." Fang Xiaoru asked again, "Why not make King Cheng's son the emperor?" Zhu Di said, "The country must rely on the older monarch to govern." Fang Xiaoru asked further. He said: "Then why don't you make the king's younger brother?"
Zhu Di couldn't answer, so he had to prevaricate: "This is my family matter, sir, don't worry too much." Then he hinted, and forced the pen to him. Fang Xiaoru ordered: "I have to give the imperial edict to the world, and it must be done by Mr. Fang Xiaoru." Fang Xiaoru took the pen and quickly wrote the four words "Yan Thief Usurps the Throne". He threw the pen to the ground and cried loudly. He cried and said: "Death means death, edict." Don't do it."
Zhu Di said angrily: "Don't you care about your nine tribes?" Fang Xiaoru replied angrily: "What can the ten tribes do?" The scolding became louder and louder. Zhu Di was furious and ordered people to cut Fang Xiaoru's mouth open from the corner of his mouth to his ears. Fang Xiaoru's face was covered with blood, but he still kept scolding. Zhu Di sternly said: "How can I let you die so happily? Ten of your clans will be destroyed!"
So, Zhu Di ordered people to continue to imprison Fang Xiaoru, while searching for his relatives, family members and others, as well as His students, counted as one of the ten clans, were escorted to Beijing and killed one by one in front of Fang Xiaoru. After each kill, he asked if he had changed his mind. Fang Xiaoru endured her grief and never succumbed to Zhu Di's power. When his younger brother Fang Xiaoyou was taken into custody, Fang Xiaoru burst into tears looking at his younger brother who was about to be killed because of his involvement.
Fang Xiaoyou calmly recited a poem to comfort Fang Xiaoru: Brother, why should I shed tears? This is where justice becomes benevolence. Thousands of years after the Huabiao stigma, the traveling soul still reaches home. Fang Xiaoru also composed a poem called Jueming: Heaven descends into chaos and separation, who knows the reason? Treacherous ministers have a plan to use it for the sake of the country. Loyal ministers are angry and exchange blood and tears. If they sacrifice themselves for the emperor, what else can they ask for? Alas, it's a shame that I'm not the only one!
If it is not written, it cannot be handed down.
However, there are also data showing that Fang Xiaoru wrote diligently and quickly. Four words: "The Yan thief usurps the throne". But there is no way to study it.
