Zhu was the third son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His background made Zhu Yuanzhang have high hopes for him. In the third year of Hongwu, he was named King Jin and became a vassal of Taiyuan.
Before Zhu Jiufan, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he could not talk about things on the basis of meanness, so he specially asked you to send him away. After arriving in Taiyuan, Zhu asked the boatman Wang to take care of himself. Wang is a sly man, so he suggested writing a letter to report the matter. After Zhu Yuanzhang knew it, he ordered the arrest of Wang and escorted him to Liaodong. Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with the queen and warned Zhu to stay away from villains and abide by the statutes.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu, Zhu asked his father to send some officials in the palace to the relevant departments for trial for corruption. During the trial, Fu Xishi, the brain trust of Jin He, was accidentally found guilty. Fu Diji colluded with Dai Deru and others, deceiving his superiors and deceiving his subordinates, which disturbed the normal order of Jin.

Liu Chen was later arrested and killed, Fu Diji was sentenced to death, and Dai Deru was beheaded. Princess Jin is the sister of King Pengcheng. Princess Pengcheng was also sentenced to death because her brother's case was implicated.
