Although these legends are unreliable, it also proves from the side that Emperor Jianwen may have been a monk, and he could only be safe if he was tonsured. After all, to the enemy, losing his hair was equivalent to being unfilial. Such a person
, naturally you are not qualified to compete with others for the throne.
Therefore, those who failed to compete for the throne throughout the ages would become monks. In this way, this person usually disappeared without a trace in historical records. Did he really disappear?
As a victor, as the leader of a country, if you want to find someone, how can you not find him?
It's just that others have already admitted defeat, so the victor no longer kills everyone in order to show mercy.
This was the case with Emperor Jianwen. Since he was no longer qualified to compete with Zhu Di for the throne, and as his uncle, Zhu Di naturally stopped eradicating the roots.
Therefore, if the above legend is true, it is definitely not that Zhu Yuanzhang had any foresight, but that he gave his most beloved grandson a last resort way to save his life.
Originally, Han Kongque and the others suspected that a tomb here belonged to Emperor Jianwen or King Zhou Ding. Now that they saw this man with obvious signs of tonsure, they naturally thought it was Emperor Jianwen.
"Then what are the identities of the other two people?" Seeing this situation, Professor Wang asked.
Han Kongque said: "The woman among them should be the empress of Emperor Jianwen at that time, Empress Ma. The only possibility for the other man is that he is the son of Emperor Jianwen and Empress Ma."
The empress of Emperor Jianwen was Empress Xiao Minrang. In 1402 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son Zhu Di, under the name "Qing Jun Side", led his troops to attack the Jinchuan Gate of Nanjing and occupied Nanjing, ending the three-year Jingnan Campaign.
.
When Nanjing was conquered, Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen, did not know where he ended up, and Queen Ma died in an accident. She was later posthumously given the title of: Empress Xiaomin, Wenzhen, Zherui, Sulie, Xiangtian, Bishengrang.
Empress Ma's son Zhu Wengui, who was only two years old at that time, was imprisoned in Guang'an Palace in Zhongdu (Feng, Yang) for a long time by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. People at that time called him "Jian Shuren".
In the first year of Tianshun of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty (Ding Chou, 1457 AD), after Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he released Zhu Wengui, who had been imprisoned for fifty-five years. He also ordered a house to be built for him in Feng and Yang, allowing him to come and go freely, and returned the house to him.
Jiansu people marry wives to have children, and send people to take care of Jiansu people's daily life.
The eunuch Niu Yu was sent to Feng Yang to tell the Jianshu people. When the Jianshu people heard about it, they were both sad and happy, saying that they had not expected Sheng En to be like this.
Zhu Wengui, a commoner, was fifty-six or seven years old when he was released. Because Zhu Wengui had been imprisoned since he was a child, he was unable to contact the outside world. When he was released, he did not even recognize cattle and horses, and he died soon after.
During the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Wengui was posthumously named King Runhuai or King Huai.
"If this is true, it makes sense. After all, some of those who fled with Emperor Jianwen were very powerful." Professor Wang also agreed with Han Kongque's explanation.
"Yes! Perhaps it was with the help of these people that Zhu Yunwen's family could be buried here." Han Kongque said.
"Yes! Although Zhu Yunwen lost the throne, there are still many people loyal to him, but these cannot be confirmed." Professor Wang said.
Legend has it that there were many people loyal to Zhu Yunwen, and one of them was Pu Qia. As soon as Zhu Di ascended the throne, he imprisoned a minister under Emperor Jianwen without any charges, and he was imprisoned for twenty years.
This person's name is Pu Qia.
There was only one reason why Zhu Di wanted to arrest him. It was the most rumored at that time that Pu Qia knew the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen.
But Zhu Di had been forcing him for twenty years, but in the end he never got what he wanted. Later, Zhu Di sent Zhenghe to the West seven times, but failed to find him.
"Professor Wang, look, there is a manuscript on the coffin." At this time, those who were cleaning the coffin made a discovery on the coffin.
Han Kongque and Professor Wang looked over quickly. It turned out to be a discount.
Han Peacock put on his gloves and turned them over: "Huh? Just two names?"
"Zheng Qia, is this Dao Yan behind?" Professor Wang asked in surprise.
"It's not surprising that Zheng Qia appears here, but what's going on with Dao Yan? These are obviously the notes of two people. It can't be the autographs of these two people, right?" Han Kongque was also surprised.
Professor Wang smiled and said: "The two of them signed their names just to prove that they have been here before, right?"
Han Kongque also smiled: "Maybe that's what it means. The first name is Zheng Qia. He signed and left his name. He should be the one who sent Zhu Yunwen to the funeral. He should be the one handling the affairs here. And Dao Yan appears here.
What’s more interesting, is he here to confirm whether Zhu Yunwen is dead or not?”
Legend has it that there were a total of 22 people who followed Zhu Yunwen at that time. Of course, some said they were the ** people. This is not important. The important thing is that there was a Hanlin scholar named Zheng Qia who was a member of the ** disciples.
The Zheng family of the Han Dynasty hid Emperor Jianwen in places such as Wansongling (near today's Old Buddhist Temple) and the western foot of Dongming Mountain (near today's Wangqianong Village) where ancient trees cover the sky.
The gate was tight on the inside and loose on the outside. Only a small area knew about it, and the reception was very good to Emperor Jianwen and others.
Until the Lantern Festival of the next year, according to the old custom, the clan would hold a dragon lantern competition. Emperor Jianwen went out incognito to watch the lanterns and watch the excitement. When the Zheng clan leader, who was leading the incense parade, saw Emperor Jianwen, he subconsciously knelt down and bowed.
, the leaders of the Yinglong Lantern also raised their lamp holders and nodded three times to Emperor Jianwen to show their respect.
This move alarmed the people, and Emperor Jianwen's identity was exposed, and he had a premonition that something was not going well.
The leader of the ** clan quickly hid him in a dry well.
King Zhu Di of Yan had long suspected that Emperor Jianwen might sneak into the imperial court, so he sent his confidants and guards in brocade uniforms to the county government.
A man named Chen Zhong immediately went to the county government to report it. The county government quickly sent Tiqi to Zheng's house, surrounded them, gathered the whole clan, and searched all the gates, but Emperor Jianwen was not found.
Perhaps it was God's will that the dry well was quickly covered with spider webs. The guards ignored the dry well when they saw it was covered with spider webs. Emperor Jianwen escaped from the dry well and the Zheng family was spared the disaster.
Legend has it that Emperor Jianwen dropped a boot in a dry well in a hurry and was picked up by the descendants of the Zheng family. Every time they worshiped him, the boot was always enshrined on the sacred table.
Although Emperor Jianwen escaped, he could no longer take refuge here, so he had to flee again.
Where Emperor Jianwen fled in the end is still one of the top ten mysteries in history.
The other name Dao Yan is indeed more interesting. This Dao Yan is Zhu Di's general.
The Battle of Jingnan lasted four years, and Emperor Jianwen's army could be said to have been retreating steadily. There were many reasons for this result, and some people attributed them to a few points.
The first point is Zhu Di's bravery and skill in fighting and his love for the soldiers. When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Bianhu, Zhu Di made great achievements in battle. He led by example on the battlefield and was very good at motivating the soldiers. How could such a "tiger" be the "sheep" of Emperor Jianwen?
"What's comparable?"
The second point is Monk Daoyan. In history, Daoyan was an out-and-out "Black Zhuge". Many people may not know him because he has always been a rear counselor.
Legend has it that when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he found a monk as a "teacher" for each vassal king, and Daoyan was one of them.
He took a fancy to Zhu Di's ambition, and he knew that Zhu Di could be his support, so he made Zhu Di choose him with just one look.
No one knows what kind of look that looks like, but his strategy and foresight are imaginable. It is naturally unusual for such a character's name to appear now.
"Now it is certain that this is Zhu Yunwen's mausoleum. It seems that even if Zhu Yunwen lost the throne, his treatment will not decline." Professor Wang said.
The three coffins here are all painted with vermilion lacquer, the coffins are made of pine wood, and the coffins are made of nanmu.
Of the three coffins, only one was relatively well preserved. The other two were badly decayed. One of them even rotted and collapsed. This should be the coffin of Queen Ma, because Han Kongque speculated that it was moved here later.
, of course, the coffin of Zhu Wengui, the son of Empress Ma, was probably moved here later.
Faced with these three coffins with varying degrees of decay, Professor Wang decided to clean up Queen Ma's coffin first.
While the coffin was being cleaned, several staff members suddenly turned around and ran away, interrupting the discussion between Han Kongque and Professor Wang.
When they realized what had happened, both Han Kongque and Professor Wang were dumbfounded.
In the past, when archeological excavations were conducted to clean up ancient tombs, the clothes, coffins, etc. were often all rotted away, leaving only bones, bronzes, ceramics and other non-perishable objects, but they were not very scary.
But this one is different. It is very close to modern times. The clothes of the deceased in the coffin have not rotted away. Some of the clothes and silk brocade are very bright in color, just like new ones, but not as tough as new ones. Therefore, it is not as tough as new ones.
The team members had a sense of fear.
When the team members took out the birthday quilts and birthday sheets that the deceased was covered with in the coffin, as well as the pieces of brocade stuffed on both sides of the coffin, they took out the quilts and birthday sheets that Queen Ma was covered with.
, revealing the deceased’s belly, which was covered in a yellow brocade coat.
One team member pressed his hand and his abdomen was still tingling. At that time, he thought the body had not decomposed yet, so he was so frightened that he picked up his tool bag and ran up.
Not knowing what was going on, the other team members also ran up from the underground palace.
Seeing their surprise, Han Kongque hurriedly asked him what was going on.
He said the body was not broken yet, and when he pressed it with his hand, his stomach was still squirming.
After a brief inspection, Han Peacock discovered that it was not that the body was not damaged, but that the yellow brocade coat worn by Queen Ma was elastic.
The corpse had decomposed and only the skeleton remained. This incident gave everyone a false alarm.
Queen Ma's coffin was not only buried with bundles of brocade, clothes, gold and silverware, but also two pairs of jewelry placed on her head.
Han Kongque analyzed that one of them was buried with her when she died, and the other was buried with her during relocation. This also proves her identity from another aspect. Her relocation may also be due to the credit of Monk Daoyan.
