Zhu Zhanji (A.D. 1398- 1435), the eldest son of Zhu Gaochi, was born in Yanwangfu on February 3rd in the first year of Wen Jian (A.D. 1399). In the ninth year of Yongle (14 1 1), 1 1 month 10 became the great-grandson of the emperor. Twenty-two years (1424), Injong ascended the throne, and on October 11th, he was appointed as the Crown Prince. In the first year of Hongxi (1425), he proclaimed himself emperor on June 12th. The following year, Yuan Xuande was changed. Xuande ten years (1435), died in Gan Qing Palace on the third day of the first month, at the age of 37. The immortal worships Taoism, is wise and sacred, and Qin and Wu Kuanren are pure filial emperors. On June 2, Kloc-0, he was buried in the Ming Tombs.
On the night when Zhu Zhanji was born, his ancestor Judy, then a prince, had a dream. He dreamed that Emperor Mao gave him Adagui, and the Da Gui was engraved with eight characters: "Generations of generations." In ancient times, Da Gui was a symbol of power. Zhu Yuanzhang gave him Da Gui, which just showed that he wanted to give him the country. When Judy woke up, she was recalling the scene in her dream. Suddenly, someone reported that his grandson Zhu Zhanji was born. Judy immediately realized that the scene in her dream was reflected in her grandson. He immediately ran to see his grandson, only to see that Xiao looked like himself and was full of heroic spirit. Judy was very happy after seeing it, which also played a great role in Judy's determination to launch Jingnan in the future.
In 65438, Zhu Zhanji was named a great-grandson by Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. And personally selected the famous civil servants at that time as Zhu Zhanji's teachers, and repeatedly instructed Sun Huang to be a talented person, and he must do his best. Meanwhile, Judy didn't forget to teach him herself. After the mid-Yongle expedition, Judy has been taking Zhu Zhanji with her, letting him know how to lead troops to fight and exercise his courage, which is of great help to Zhu Zhanji's personal expedition. Every time he comes back from an expedition, he will take Zhu Zhanji to the farmhouse. Let the emperor and grandson know the hardships of the peasant family and let him be a good emperor who loves the people in the future. Judy's careful teaching of Zhu Zhanji is of great significance for Zhu Zhanji to become a famous monarch.
To a great extent, he was valued by his son, so the father and son became the eyesore of Zhu and others, and the young one was involved in the struggle. However, with his grandfather's love for him and his courage and wisdom, he always helped his father save the day, and finally made Zhu Gaochi ascend to the throne of the emperor. Who knows that my father's throne was not hot, and he died of sudden illness ten months later.
At that time, Zhu Zhanji was in Nanking. That day, he went to the north. He heard that his uncle and Hanwang Zhu were going to intercept him halfway, and then he would become emperor himself. Both sides advised him to reorganize the army just in case. Zhu Zhanji said, "Who dares to be so bold to your father?" Still intellectual man fit, day and night hardships to Beijing, when Zhu did not send an ambush, he didn't expect to come so early. After returning to Beijing, on the one hand, he properly handled his father's funeral, on the other hand, he strengthened Beijing's security to prevent people from waiting for opportunities to make trouble, and then he ascended the throne calmly, changing the name of Xuanzong of Daming to Xuande, and began his imperial career.
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the biggest problem he faced was the foreign vassal problem left by Mao. This problem was not fundamentally solved in Wen Jian, Yongle and Hongxi Dynasties. Immediately after Zhu Zhanji acceded to the throne, he began to rectify the military and prepare for the challenge of powerful vassals. His uncle Zhu, who made outstanding achievements in the battle of Jingnan, was very good at leading troops. After Yongle was named Le 'an, he never gave up his ambition to seize power by force. Finally, the opportunity came. Renzong died, Xuanzong ascended the throne, the country was in turmoil and the emperor was young. It was a good time to rebel, so after careful preparation, he also raised the banner of "Jun Qing side" like his father, pointing to Xia Yuanji, a veteran of the Five Dynasties. At the suggestion of Yang Rong, the minister of Tang Xuanzong, who had been prepared for the expedition, once overwhelmed the rebels in momentum. Previously agreed to fight with zhu * * * military forces also stay put. The Ming army quickly surrounded Le 'an City and saved the day. Zhu had to abandon the city and surrender. The battle ended with the victory of the Ming army and the arrest of Zhu. All the ministers advised Zhu to teach him, thinking that he was very lenient with the captaincy. Instead of killing him, he abandoned Shu Ren and put him under house arrest in Xi.
After the victorious army returned to Beijing, it immediately summoned another imperial uncle and suggested that he hand over the military power (at that time, the governors all had their own troops, called Wei). Zhu Gaosui did not resist, but obediently handed over three guard horses. Thus, the problem of captaincy for nearly half a century in the early Ming Dynasty was finally solved in Xuande.
Xuanzong has "Sanyang" (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yangpu), Zhouyi and Xia Yuanji; There are also British officials and local governors like Yu Qian and Chen Zhou, who are really talented. This led to political clarity, social stability, people living and working in peace and contentment, and unprecedented economic development, resulting in the prosperity of the famous "benevolent politics and peace" after Kaiyuan. This is also the heyday of the Ming Dynasty for more than 270 years.
Annan issue is also an important issue in Xuande Dynasty. As early as the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, due to Guo's internal struggle, the ruler of the former Guo lost his heir and Annan was in chaos. Zhang Fu, the general sent by Cheng Zu, led the troops to counter the rebellion, and officially built the official residence in Annan and sent people to manage it. However, due to the oppression and historical origin of some corrupt officials, Annan almost never stopped fighting, which made the financial burden heavy in the early Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the problem of Annan became more and more serious, and the imperial army was constantly defeated in Annan. In this case, Xuanzong resolutely decided to make peace and give up the occupation of Annan. This caused great controversy at that time. In the long run, it lightens the burden on the people, saves a lot of manpower and financial resources, and is also conducive to Annan's contacts with the people of all ethnic groups in China.
However, it was a mistake of Xuanzong dynasty, which will be introduced in detail in Yingzong's article. In a word, Emperor Zhu Zhanji of Xuande was a competent emperor, and his contribution to the Ming Dynasty was indelible. He was called Emperor Taiping by historians, a famous emperor in history, and he created the "prosperous time" of the Ming Dynasty. These titles are not exaggerated for Tang Xuanzong.
Ming Taizu Xuanzong preached that Zhu Zhanji loved painting and calligraphy and advocated weaving. His calligraphy works include Song of Snow, and his paintings include Melon and Mouse, Sleeping in Wuhou, Slave Beaver under Flowers, Playing Monkey, Changqingsong, etc., which are handed down from generation to generation and have a high artistic level. Because of his hobby of promoting weaving, Zhu Zhanji was called "the son of heaven" by later generations.
In the first month of the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1435), Zhu Zhanji contracted an unknown disease. When he was critically ill, he was ordered to draft a testament, and the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne. All military affairs should be informed to the queen mother before making a decision. Died in Gan Qing Palace soon.
