Historical records of later generations: "Records of Ming Taizu":
At the end of the tenth month of winter in the seventh year of Hongwu, Sun Xiongying, the eldest son of the emperor, was born.
On the first day of May in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the emperor's eldest son, Sun Xiongying, passed away. He left the court and was buried in Zhongshan. The courtiers all wore plain clothes and walked to the funeral. He was posthumously named King Yu, and his posthumous title was Huai.
Perhaps when others saw the portrait, their first impression was that he looked very similar to Prince Zhu Biao.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was not.
The eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying was born because he was the first grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.
This kind of pampering from a cross-generational parent is unparalleled.
Even the number of times that biological mother Chang and her biological son Zhu Xiongying slept together were very few.
The palace has its own wet nurse. This matter has been stable for seven years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao has also grown up and can take charge of her own role.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma's life was relatively leisurely.
I just live a life of taking care of my children every day.
Every day when Zhu Xiongying went to bed, he was sandwiched between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang even snored while sleeping, which disturbed his eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, who woke up in the middle of the night and screamed.
I was kicked out of the palace by Queen Ma countless times.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still enjoyed it.
Only those who have raised children can understand the joy of this.
In order to prevent Zhu Xiongying from being crushed by Zhu Yuanzhang while sleeping, several palace maids and eunuchs attended his bed every day.
As the eldest grandson of Zhu Xiongying, he was either attached to Zhu Yuanzhang or in the arms of Empress Ma since childhood.
It's really afraid of melting when you hold it in your mouth, and afraid of falling when you hold it in your hand.
Zhu Biao looks like his mother, and Zhu Xiongying looks like his father.
Perhaps it's because of who brought up the elephant, Zhu Xiongying seems to be more like Queen Ma.
When he was four or five years old, envoys from small countries came to pay tribute.
When I saw Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma, I thought they were Queen Ma's biological children.
This made Empress Ma beam with joy.
When Prince Zhu Biao was born, war was raging, and even Zhu Yuanzhang was in an unstable situation at that time.
Although I like him, he has too many things to deal with, so he is much less close to Zhu Biao.
But Zhu Xiongying is completely different. Zhu Yuanzhang spends a lot of time with him every day.
The eight years from the seventh year of Hongwu to the fifteenth year of Hongwu.
It can be said to be the happiest day in Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
With his wife, children, and grandchildren by his side, his family and country are stable, he will win every battle, and the Ming Empire is flourishing.
It seems that everything is heading towards beauty.
In early March of the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Xiongying suddenly fell seriously ill.
Many great doctors and imperial doctors from Tai Hospital consulted, but to no avail.
Empress Ma shed tears every day, grieving endlessly and becoming more and more haggard.
Since the beginning of April, Queen Ma has been extremely sad and melancholy and has been seriously ill in bed.
In early May, the emperor's eldest son, Sun Xiongying, passed away.
Queen Ma was in bed, grief-stricken and missing her day and night.
Therefore, the medicine for heart disease was of no use, and in August, Queen Ma passed away.
At this time, the air seal case broke out.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was at his most crazy.
So he ordered that all the chief seal holders in various places be put to death, punished with a hundred canes, and sent into military exile. Hundreds of people were implicated in this case at one time.
It may seem that there are not many people in the hundreds, but in fact, you must understand that these hundreds of people are all seal-holding officials, equivalent to the level of local governors.
Obviously, the Kongyin case was a complete injustice. After all, neither the officials who were beheaded nor the officials who were exiled actually committed corruption or bribery.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted, but he was not relieved.
Few people know that this involves a palace secret.
The "Biography of Zheng Shili" in Volume 139 of "History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "The stars changed and asked for words. Shili said, 'Yes'".
Chapter 7-1 of "The Biography of Zhu Yuanzhang" written by Wu Han, a famous Ming historian of later generations: "Zhu Yuanzhang pretended that there was a change in the stars, and he should kill the ministers to cope with the disaster."
The content is not the key point, the key point is the star transformation.
From these two places, we can know that in the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, a star change occurred.
Star change means the movement of stars. In ancient times, especially in the eyes of emperors, this was not a trivial matter and they took it very seriously.
However, few people know.
The star change occurred on the night of the second day of May in the fifteenth year of Hongwu.
This night was the night after the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying was buried.
At that time, a secret happened that was not recorded in the world.
On this night, the dragon rolled over the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan, and the tomb of the eldest grandson collapsed into the ground.
Coinciding with the star change, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the Qintian Supervisor to inquire.
Qin Tianjian not only knew about astronomy and geography, he observed celestial phenomena, calculated solar terms, and formulated calendars.
He even adjusts the leakage of pots with his hands, measures the stars, compares yin and yang, and uses divination to build buildings.
There are many studies on the theory of Feng Shui gods and ghosts.
Among them, members of Qin Tian Jian are not recruited from outside and are passed down from generation to generation.
Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the Qin Tian Jian was not allowed to move forever, and his descendants could only learn astronomy and calculus, and were not allowed to learn other professions. Those who did not learn would be sent to the South China Sea to serve as soldiers.
Qintian Supervisor was facing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry at this moment. He was silent for a long time before he said:
"I am afraid that His Majesty Changsun may have died prematurely. I feel unwilling to do so, and my resentment will surge up to the sky, causing the stars to shift, and my unwillingness to do so will cause the earth to roll."
Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Jian Zheng meant.
Normally speaking, the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying was the destined heir to the throne, but he died young, so he was very resentful.
Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears. Remembering that Queen Ma was seriously ill in bed at the moment, he choked and asked, "What should I do to let my grandson rest in peace?"
The prisoner knelt on the ground, bowed and said, "I can only offer sacrifices to him."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and then he ordered that the Xiaoling Guards should be investigated for their negligence in guarding the tomb, and that 1,500 elite soldiers should be buried in order to appease Changsun's resentment.
Then, as the record says, the star was used as an excuse to kill the ministers in response to the disaster.
The Xiaoling Guard is composed of 5,600 elite royal guards personally selected by him from his most trusted hometown, Zhou and Li families.
Each of them is an absolute elite, and their combat power is higher than that of the Jinyi Guards. They are also the most mysterious and powerful guards in the Ming Dynasty.
According to Qin Tian Jian Jian Zheng's wishes, only such warriors offering sacrifices can appease the eldest grandson's resentment and rest in peace.
Of course, not only these people were sacrificed for burial, but also the palace maids and eunuchs who might have known about it.
Including the Qintian Supervisor who proposed the sacrifice, as well as some of the Qintian Supervisor officials who knew the details, no one was spared, and they were all buried.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since this incident.
That’s when I thought no one would mention this matter again.
He didn't expect that Jiang Wei actually presented a portrait.
After raising a child for eight years, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately recognized that the person in the portrait was his eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying.
He was frightened, uneasy, and frightened. He grabbed Jiang Wei's clothes and asked him sharply.
Before Jiang Wei could answer, Zhu Yuanzhang slumped on his seat again.
He murmured in his mouth: "Dasun, are you back? Do you blame grandpa for not taking good care of you, so you want to take grandpa away now?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears.
Jiang Wei was shocked.
I am afraid that His Majesty is a little insane because he misses His Highness the Crown Prince and starts talking nonsense.
Jiang Wei took up the post of commander of the Jinyi Guards only after Mao Xiang's death last year.
Naturally, I don’t know the secrets of the palace ten years ago.
Seeing His Majesty like this, Jiang Wei quickly said: "Your Majesty, the person in the portrait is in the capital at the moment."
"I saw that he looks exactly like His Highness the Crown Prince, and I hereby report it."
The crying stopped suddenly.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and asked quietly: "You mean, the person in the portrait is still alive and in the capital?"
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I saw it with my own eyes this morning."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but tremble, either excited or uneasy.
After a moment, he said in a somewhat urgent tone: "Take us there to meet you immediately!"
"I obey the decree!"
As soon as Jiang Wei finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the door and strode away.
Jiang Wei didn't have time to say anything more, so he could only follow him quickly.
