Zhu Biao definitely died young.

But this incident was a heavy blow to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even the death of Queen Ma was even more intense.

He would never have thought that Zhu Biao, whom he had worked hard to cultivate and support wholeheartedly, and had named his eldest son the crown prince since the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China, would suddenly go to see the King of Hell in his prime.

What he never expected was that Zhu Biao's death would cause a series of chain reactions.

Caused an uproar.

It even had a huge impact on future generations.

From the perspective of my personal understanding of history, Zhu Biao's death not only affected the Ming Dynasty, but had a profound impact on the Qing Dynasty and even further history.

The most typical representative here is undoubtedly the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

I personally think that the reason why Kangxi never established a crown prince is because he saw Zhu Yuanzhang’s lesson.

He was also afraid that if he established the crown prince too early, something like Zhu Biao's sudden death would occur.

But the facts tell us: it is indeed bad to establish the prince too early, but it is not necessarily a good thing to establish the prince too late.

Because in order to compete for the legitimate throne, the princes can turn against each other and even kill each other in front of the old man.

Finally, kill the old man.

This was something Kangxi did not expect!

If you want to achieve the most perfect result for something, only at the right time, with the right means, and by relying on the right time, place, and people, can you achieve the ideal state.

After the death of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang was faced with many difficult problems in addition to pain and helplessness.

First of all, the first point is the vacancy of the crown prince's legitimate position.

Zhu Biao is dead, but the position of the prince cannot remain vacant.

Someone must be found to replace him.

Who is this person?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't make up his mind.

He must have had the idea of ​​selecting one of his 26 sons as his successor, but considering that the kings at that time had already divided their kingdoms into separate powers, it was difficult to achieve this.

Because except for a few real bastards, few of these sons are softies.

There are many people with strong military strength here, such as the third child Zhu Fan, the fifth child Zhu Li (sù), and the famous fourth child.

King Yan, Zhu Di.

These people actually have their own military power in their hands.

If you pull out any of these people, they are not simple things.

They not only have guns in their hands, but also soldiers.

Each of them possesses an army of elite soldiers and generals capable of guarding the frontier and capable of fighting the central court to the death.

The idea of ​​selecting one of these people to be the successor is theoretically possible.

But from a logical thinking analysis point of view, it doesn't work.

why?

Because according to the order of elder and younger, the most appropriate and reasonable heir is the second child.

That is, the second son of the emperor, Zhu Xi.

But this guy is a pure bastard.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's original words, this guy is a ridiculous thing!

This guy can be said to be a prodigal and a cheater all in one, a pure cheater who does good things but never does bad things.

For the special group of rich second generation people, I am used to dividing them into two major categories.

One type is positive people.

This type of people can also be subdivided into two types.

One type is a group of people who rely on their family connections to climb up the ladder.

This group of people are motivated, but their motivation is not strong. They do not have the great ideal to independently create a career on their own.

They only hope to rely on their own abilities and the power of the family to push the family to a higher peak.

There is a premise here, that is, family power must always exist.

Once a family breaks up, it will be difficult for them to develop.

Psychology calls this type of person: dependent personality.

Another kind of person is more special.

This type of people also come from wealthy families, but they hate wealthy families extremely.

They feel that the influence of wealthy families has seriously hindered their future development and career expansion.

For extremely wealthy families, they are more likely to be born into the common people and do not have that easy sense of superiority. They can start from scratch and create their own independent kingdom through their own efforts without being attached to anyone.

Although there are not many such people in history, they do exist.

For example, the famous Jewish philosopher, Wittgenstein.

For example, Buddha and Sakyamuni.

Another example is Wang Xizhi, who is known as the "Sage of Calligraphy" and author of "Lanting Preface".

As long as they have this kind of personality, they are extraordinary. Often such people are just fine if they don't make a sound, but when they make a sound, they are often astonishing.

I call this kind of person: rebellious personality.

Of course, in addition to the above two types of people, another group of people must be mentioned.

This kind of people have a loud and great title.

spendthrift.

This kind of people take prodigality and having fun as their lifelong mission, and they do no harm and no one does anything wrong. They rely on their excellent genes and the outstanding power of their family to do evil, bully and dominate the market, and even openly defy the authority of the law.

They can be confident because the huge family power is the backer they can rely on.

It can be said that there is nothing these people would not dare to do.

Murder, arson, rape and blackmail are all their specialties. To them, these crimes are no different from children playing house. At most, they can just pay a few dollars. Anyway, I have plenty of money.

But it is absolutely impossible for me to apologize.

Losing money is a small matter, but saving face is a big deal.

We rich second generation also have the exclusive dignity of the rich second generation.

Our dignity is sacrosanct.

Unfortunately, there are also a few of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons.

There are two typical representatives here.

The second ranked ones should be: Huang Shizi, King Lu, and Zhu Tan.

Before talking about him, I need to mention to everyone Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of this son.

After Zhu Tan died, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a posthumous title (the evaluation of a person after his death in ancient times).

Absurd (absurd)!

The reason why he is said to be ridiculous is because he and his wife (Tang He's daughter) did a big thing, a big thing that really ended their children.

The couple took advantage of their status as Crown Prince and Crown Princess to do one thing every day.

Make eunuchs!

The two of them did nothing else every day. They wandered around the streets all day long, looking at whose little boy looked good. In our current words, the child looked cute. They asked the guards to catch the child, and then took out the breakfast. The prepared knife was inserted into the child's lifeline.

Castrate the child into a eunuch with your own hands, and then return the child to his parents.

Finally, I have to ask my parents to visit me again to say thank you.

This is the true sense of being a master of extinction.

This is a bit like the practice of professional eunuchs who are absolutely nonsense, but it was actually happening at the time.

In addition to King Lu, the second person who ranks highest in outstanding contributions to the prodigal family is undoubtedly the second child.

King Qin, Zhu Xiang.

This guy doesn't play Lao Shi's tricks of exterminating Master Tai. As the second oldest child in a thousand years, his tricks are much stranger than Lao Shi's.

First of all, he thought that his palace was too small and could not show off his aristocratic status as a prince at all.

So he asked people to build large-scale construction projects around the palace and build pavilions and pavilions.

In terms of style, I live in a better place than my brother or even my father, and my penis is even higher. I have to have things in my father’s palace, and I want to have things that my brother doesn’t have!
