What did Zhu Yuanzhang say that scared Prince Zhu Biao to death?

Yesterday, the editor introduced the direct influence of Zhu Biao's death on Zhu Yuanzhang, prompting him to make up his mind to get rid of all military commanders who can get used to fighting. But there is still a problem. I didn't make it clear yesterday. Zhu Biao was highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang. He is a qualified heir. How did he suddenly die? In fact, it's hard to think that Zhu Biao's death was caused by Zhu Yuanzhang! What's going on here? Look at Du, the editor of 5, years, together!

about Zhu Biao's death, the records of Ming history are very brief. "It's better than going back, presenting a map of Shaanxi and getting sick. In my illness, I talked about establishing the capital. In April next year, Bingzi will die and the emperor will cry. " That is to say, after Zhu Biao came back from a trip to Shaanxi, he fell ill and died in April of the following year. The history books are vague and don't reveal any diseases at all. It was compiled by the Qing dynasty according to the national history of the Ming dynasty, and most of the contents adopted the official statement of the Ming dynasty. Therefore, we have to start with the private history books written by the Ming Dynasty.

According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao did not suffer from illness after his return from Shaanxi, but he was ordered to patrol the prison with Zhang Hui, the official department minister, to inspect the criminals. Zhu Biao was generous and kind, and advocated pardoning a group of criminals with light guilt. However, he was strongly opposed by Zhan Hui, and suggested to change to heavy punishment. The two men couldn't argue, so they asked Zhu Yuanzhang to rule. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang helped the "Fa", not his relatives, saying that "the emblem is the Fa".

Zhu Biao was gentle and kind by nature. He couldn't bear to see so many people punished, so he knelt on the ground and said, "I know the way to build a country, and kindness is the foundation. Law, attached, not attached. " Zhu Biao means that governing the country should be based on benevolence, and law should be attached to benevolence, not benevolence to law.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this sentence, he flew into a rage and shouted, "I am willing to teach you!" This son of a bitch wants to be emperor. Teach Lao Tzu a lesson! There is another saying, Zhu Yuanzhang said at that time, "Do it as soon as there is a world."

Hearing these words, Zhu Biao was completely blinded and jumped into Jinshui River in a panic, trying to commit suicide. Although he was rescued by the attendants, he was still sick. "The prince is sick and very nervous." In other words, Zhu Biao was scared to death by his father's words. After Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang was faced with the choice of successor. Maybe he apologized for a reason. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't choose his son, but let Zhu Biao's son be his grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang had high hopes for Zhu Biao, but in fact the relationship between them was already tense, which was due to their different political ideas. Zhu Yuanzhang advocated the use of heavy codes in troubled times, while Zhu Biao was deeply influenced by Confucianism, generous and benevolent. For example, the two men had a conflict on the issue of murder before.

one day, Zhu Yuanzhang tried to kill again, and the prince advised him. Zhu Yuanzhang took out a stick full of thorns and educated Zhu Biao. Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao retorted: "There is a king of Yao and Shun above, and a minister of Yao and Shun below." At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he threw something at the prince. In fact, the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao was very stiff at that time, somewhat similar to that between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Liu Wei. The differences between father and son in feelings and political ideas are as cold as ice.

The content of Zhu Biao's death is mainly recorded by He, a historian in Ming Dynasty. Although Qiao Yuan lived in the late Ming Dynasty, he read widely and devoted himself to writing books for more than 2 years. Coupled with his integrity, he is famous for daring to write straight, so his records are even more reliable than the national history of the Ming Dynasty.
