The Ming Dynasty was the last Han chinese feudal dynasty in China, and its founder Zhu Yuanzhang's life can be described as very ordinary, he was just an ordinary cattle herder, he did all kinds of dirty work, and even became a monk when he was most depressed.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who laid the foundation of the country, was even more afraid that his foundation would be usurped, and selecting a successor became the most urgent thing in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. At first, he attached great importance to his eldest son Zhu Biao, so he was made crown prince, and the designated successor was Zhu Biao. And Zhu Biao himself is indeed qualified, not only very prestigious among the brothers, but also deeply convinced by the ministers, it can be said that no one will be unconvinced if he becomes emperor.
Unfortunately, a wind chill took Zhu Biao's life. This kind of seemingly mild illness in modern times has caused the Ming Dynasty to rise up, and history has changed since then. Among Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons, in addition to Zhu Biao's appearance, Zhu Di was capable. However, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make his own emperor Grandson Zhu Yunjiao emperor, and for this reason he also killed many ministers Li Wei, and at the same time he also sensed Zhu Di's dissatisfaction, in order to prevent Zhu Di's usurpation, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of many ways.
Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang was once awakened by a dream in which a man wearing armor asked him for the Golden Ruan Temple. Not long after this dream was completed, Zhu Di was born. However, at that time, Zhu Biao was still alive, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to worry about Zhu Biao's ability. But after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that dream again, which made him frightened, and after many times of thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang moved to kill.
One day, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Di to the palace. Just sat down to show a very kind care for Zhu Di, in Zhu Di's eyes, the father and emperor have always been very strict, suddenly treat themselves so gentle, which makes Zhu Di very flattered, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally peeled oranges for him to eat, instantly Zhu Di felt full of love. On this day, Zhu Di was touched and happy, and he went to report the matter to his mother.
But after all, Zhu Di's mother knew her husband very well, realized that things were not good, and said to Zhu Di: 'You run away, the father and emperor want to kill you." Zhu Di was shocked after listening to his mother's explanation, and immediately ordered someone to quickly clean up the mansion, and at the same time applied to Zhu Yuanzhang to let him go to a foreign country to be a prince who did not care about the world. After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he felt that after all, he was his own son, so he dispelled the idea of killing and followed Zhu Di's wishes.
As a result, shortly after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Di rebelled, not only forcing his nephew to die, but also becoming emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that he had tried his best but was still fulfilled by that dream. It is estimated that if he knew that his grandson was such an ending, he would be so angry that the coffin board could not hold back and jump out.
