I believe that all friends should know better that Zhu Yuanzhang was not literate at all since he was a child. It was because his family was relatively poor at that time and could not even have a full meal, so he was even less able to accept it. Educated. However, since he ascended the throne, he has become very interested in poetry and poetry, and has always used very high requirements to educate his children and grandchildren. In the process of educating his children, he unexpectedly discovered that his son Zhu Di had the temperament to be a good emperor in his bones. However, what surprised us all was that even though Zhu Di appeared to be very smart on the surface, Zhu Yuanzhang still planned to make him a good emperor in the end. His throne was passed to his eldest son Zhu Biao. What was Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose in doing so? Why did Zhu Di lose to his eldest brother?
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor family. He originally fed cattle to fill his stomach, and even became a monk. However, through his own efforts, he later became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, most people have different evaluations of him. Many people feel that he is a relatively smart king, but many people feel that he is just a murderous demon. Since he took the position of emperor, he killed all the heroes who followed him to conquer the world. Moreover, his policies were very cruel both inside and outside the court, which made many ministers and people feel very panic. In fact, in my opinion, his eldest son Zhu Biao was also very dissatisfied with the strategies he implemented. He felt that his father was strict in everything he did.
Zhu Biao is the biological son of Empress Ma. At that time, before Zhu Yuanzhang could reach the position of emperor, he had been established as the heir apparent. Later, he studied Confucian classics with the great scholar Song Lian. It was precisely because of this situation that he cultivated such a kind and generous character. He was caring towards everyone around him. Even if the ministers around him made mistakes, they would always respond. He protected these ministers in front of his own father, so the prestige around him became higher and higher, and he established a very high reputation in the minds of many ministers. Zhu Yuanzhang saw all these things, so he had higher expectations for his eldest son than the other sons. In the eyes of his father, it seems that Zhu Biao himself is relatively generous. If he loses his throne in the future, If you pass it on to him, he will become a wise king.
So in your heart, you feel that Zhu Biao is more suitable for the position of emperor. Only if he reaches the position of emperor can he benefit the court. But what’s more interesting is that their sons are very good at integrating their father’s genes, and they also have special skills in their respective territories, and each of them can hold up a sky. It is precisely because of their abilities that they became the leaders of the Ming Dynasty. pillar. Among so many Pan kings, the one who performed best was Zhu Di. Zhu Di himself was Zhu Yuanzhang’s fourth son. When he was just born, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were fighting. It was precisely because of the emergency of the war ahead that at that time Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even have time to look at his son, so he hurried to the front line to take command.
You can imagine here that Zhu Di grew up in this kind of war environment. Perhaps it was because of the environment he experienced that he grew into a particularly outstanding soldier at the fastest speed. military strategist. Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, he passed the throne of emperor to his grandson Zhu Yunwen. His grandson's character was somewhat similar to that of his son Zhu Biao. Although he was more generous, he just lacked the courage to do anything. The catastrophe that brought about the Jingnan War. Zhu Yunwen not only has great abilities in himself, but he is also very powerful in poetry and poetry. But in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, although he was a good poet, he just lacked a kind of vigorous vitality. The poems written by the two of them hinted at their unconfidence in the throne of the monarch in the future.
Looking back at Zhu Di's poetry style, it is different. Once during a trip, Zhu Yuanzhang told his son Zhu Di the first couplet and asked his son to read the second couplet. At this time, Zhu Di calmly corrected the second line, and after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this line, he nodded with satisfaction. In fact, it can be seen here that his father is quite satisfied with Zhu Di. He has a very strong affirmation that his civil and military talents are not inferior to Zhu Biao. But the only thing that is inferior to the prince is his personality, because in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, if he wants to manage his country well, he must have a tolerant heart, and at the same time, he must be ruthless at critical moments, so that the people Only then can we abide by the law and govern, and only then can our country's rule be stable for a long time.
So after Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, he felt in his heart that there must be a benevolent monarch to bring kindness to the people. At this time, he chose the prince Zhu Biao, thus excluding the resident with a strong personality. However, it is a pity that the prince Zhu Biaohao died prematurely, so in desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang could only pass the position of emperor to his grandson.
