"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Zhu Biao died young, so why did he appoint Zhu Yunwen as emperor? It should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang thought a little too much."

"Emperor Jianwen first inherited the throne from another generation. He was young and had no political experience. Then judging from his performance in the four years of his reign, it seems that his IQ and EQ were not high, which was an innate deficiency."

"Furthermore, although his ability is poor, his ambition is high, which means he has great ambition and talent. His grandfather's reign was Hongwu, and his own reign was Jianwen. It is conceivable that he really wanted to achieve something, but he had great ambition and talent."

"In the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died of illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to reconsider the succession to the throne."

"During this period, he thought of Zhu Di, the fourth son of the emperor, because Zhu Di was very similar to himself in many ways. However, when consulting the ministers, Minister Liu Sanwu proposed that if the fourth son of the emperor was established, the second and third sons of the emperor would be Where to stand?"

"At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already divided the kings, and the second, third, and fourth sons of the emperor were named kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan respectively. The three fiefdoms were all important border towns, and they had heavy troops. Once there was internal strife due to competition for the throne, The consequences will be severe."

"Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to make Zhu Biao's second son Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson."

"In the fifth month of the 31st year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness. Zhu Yunwen officially ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Jianwen."

"It is not difficult to see from the reign names that the two emperors, Jianwen and Hongwu, had completely different personalities. Moreover, an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to establish an emperor's grandson was that Zhu Yunwen, like his father, was too weak, too kind, and too accepting. The influence of Confucianism is too serious, and I am afraid that I will not be able to control the ministers in the future."

"After Zhu Yunwen came to the throne, he reused literati such as Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru, etc., contrary to the practices of Ming Taizu, and implemented a series of new policies."

"First of all, we emphasize morality and spare punishment, focus on civilized governance, and advocate ethics and education. As a result, the number of prisoners in the Criminal Department has decreased by two-thirds compared with previous years."

"At the same time, 24 court officials were selected as interview envoys to patrol the country, observe customs, stay in the dark, and establish things that benefit the people."

"The second is to exempt all taxes and servitudes, reduce and reduce the rents of previous years and the taxes on abandoned land all over the world."

"In view of the excessive taxes and servitude in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Emperor Jianwen issued an edict: "The taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are extremely heavy, so it is advisable to pay attention to them and reduce them, and the acres should not exceed one dou. "

"In order to restrict the Buddhist and Taoist forces from occupying fertile land, Emperor Jianwen was very strict with the eunuchs in the court. At the same time, he also ordered local officials to capture and send eunuchs to the capital and severely punish them if they found that eunuchs were acting violently and harming the people."

"This also aroused the resentment of the unscrupulous eunuchs. In the future Jingnan campaign, they either took refuge with King Zhu Di of Yan, or acted as internal agents."

"Emperor Jianwen also carried out reforms in terms of officials, reorganized the official system, vigorously streamlined institutions, and eliminated redundant personnel."

"During the four years of Emperor Jianwen's reign, nine states, 39 counties, and a large number of redundant officials and tax agencies were abolished, which increased the central fiscal revenue and reduced the people's burden."

"It can be said that Emperor Jianwen's series of measures fully reflected his idea of ​​governing the country with benevolence, justice, etiquette and happiness. He reformed many bad policies in the Hongwu period and brought a breath of fresh air to society. It created a world for both the common people and officials. It created a relaxed environment, eased social conflicts, and had a positive effect on social stability. It made the government manageable and harmonious, so future generations have the reputation of "four years of easing the government and relieving the severe frost."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Isn’t this a good ruling?How can you be called a mediocre king!Liu Bang: Lao Zhu!You really love your grandson and don’t see any problem?

"Haha, in our modern terms, the filter is a bit dark."

"First of all, in terms of employment, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng, these three typical ones have false reputations. Fang Xiaoru is the most famous, but this dear friend wants to restore the well-field system. It is known that the well-field system can no longer be carried out in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty when productivity was low."

"And Fang Xiaoru wants to restore the well-field system after nearly 2000 years. You can only imagine how capable he is. He is the seed of scholars in the world? A typical nerd's speech."

"Even if there is no Jingnan, Emperor Jianwen will not be able to govern the country well, and will be controlled by the civil servant group. Emperor Jianwen will definitely lose control of the country early."

"You must know that Zhu Di still controlled the entire empire when he became Emperor Wanli. Although the emperor's power was weak at this time, it was still in a delicate balance. Emperor Jianwen's generation might be regarded as a puppet by the civil servant group. This is not a good sign. !”

"Based on what will happen next, based on historical experience, Emperor Jianwen's performance is unlikely to be better than Zhu Di's."

"The essence of the Jingnan Campaign was that King Yan, who represented the interests of the heroes and clan, replaced Emperor Jianwen who was controlled by civilian officials."

"Emperor Jianwen himself, as the emperor of Zhu Biao's generation, was manipulated by civilian officials without knowing it. This is completely different from Zhu Di's performance as emperor."

"There is also the issue of cutting off Pan. When Emperor Jianwen first came to the throne, the heroes all belonged to the same interest group around Emperor Jianwen. However, the civil servants encouraged Emperor Jianwen to cut down the vassal and replace the heroes in controlling the country and the army. Emperor Jianwen Zhida Caishu didn't know the reason, and directly offended the hero and the entire clan, which led to the subsequent success of the Jingnan Campaign."

"This is very different from Zhu Di's ability to govern when he became emperor. Just like when Li Shimin first became emperor, can the aristocratic family be eliminated? Shouldn't he slowly take control of power and slowly attack their families one by one? Take action."

"One more thing, Emperor Jianwen cut Pan because he also wanted to cut Zhu Di. When Zhu Di was King of Yan, he killed enemies on the battlefield. People said that Zhu Di was cruel to Emperor Jianwen's people, but didn't Emperor Jianwen also want to do that? Zhu Di's life? These ministers were also involved."

"The civil servants of Emperor Jianwen also had a good idea. Let the heroes go to fight King Yan and give them sweet dates when they come back. Isn't this Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release his military power? No one is a fool. At this time, these people are on the battlefield. The generals may not necessarily work hard to fight for the country."

"Isn't this just giving the hero and the clan to each other?"

"During the four years of the Jingnan Campaign, the actual territory that King Yan seized was pitifully small. In the end, the imperial army could no longer continue the showdown and directly had a showdown with Zhu Di. Don't fight one city after another. Go straight to Nanjing. Well, the people over there waiting to open the city gate for you are impatient."

"Otherwise, these civil servants are just a bunch of nerds. They didn't fight King Yan first and let him grow up. During the battle, they fought too little territory and didn't even think about it at all."

"What happened in the "Battle of Jingjiang" was not surprising at all. Who told you not to take the other party seriously and to send two big groups to him? The opportunity was given to Zhu Di. How could he not rebel?"
