After Zhu Di seized the throne, he found an imperial edict. Why did he burst into tears: Father, have you done me a terrible job?

This imperial edict was issued by Zhu Yunwen, and the content in it was to excuse Zhu Di and others, claiming that they had to rebel, hoping that when the two armies confronted each other, they would not hurt their uncles' lives. And through the content of the imperial edict, we can also know that Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that Zhu Di would rebel in the future. It was these two factors that made Zhu Di claim that his father had hurt him badly, knowing that he would rebel, but he didn't say anything, thus making him bear the name of rebellion and killing Zhu Yunwen, who still had an uncle's affection for himself.

However, after careful analysis, this is just a show by Zhu Di, and even the imperial edict issued by Zhu Yunwen is a show. Let's talk about Zhu Yunwen's show first. If he really has an uncle's affection for Zhu Di, then may I ask several princes who were previously forced to death by him, aren't they his own uncles? Other uncles can be forced to die, and it's Chu Di's turn to start thinking about the feelings of an uncle? It can be seen how hypocritical.

As for Zhu Di, it's even more of a show. Isn't rebellion his own consciousness? Not only did he take the initiative, but he also acted very quickly. In just a few years, he ousted his nephew. If this is out of helplessness, what is the explanation for his enthusiasm? What's more, even if Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear, or openly threatened him not to rebel, would he certainly listen? I'm afraid I will do it more actively. After all, my father can say that, which means he has the strength to rebel.

In fact, Zhu Di burst into tears, on the one hand, to show his courtiers that he felt guilty about killing his nephew; On the other hand, he was actually complaining to Zhu Yuanzhang, blaming his father for not making him Chu Jun. If Zhu Yuanzhang had made him instead of Zhu Yunwen, this series of things would not have happened later, and he could be an emperor without having to go back to the charges of conspiring against regicide before becoming the emperor.
