"To put it bluntly, Emperor Jianwen is also a nerd. Finally, if we analyze the two sides in the Jingnan Campaign from Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective, Zhu Di is more suitable than Emperor Jianwen in every aspect."

"From a family perspective, Emperor Jianwen cut down vassals and abandoned the clan. This was definitely against Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes. Who wants to build a successful career and not want to benefit future generations?"

"From a national perspective, Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yuanzhang made a big move to abolish the post of prime minister in order to consolidate the imperial power. Emperor Jianwen became a puppet of the civil service group as soon as he succeeded to the throne. This was obviously not what the powerful Zhu Yuanzhang wanted. have witnessed."

"Looking at the victorious King Yan, he not only ensured the interests of the clan, but also further strengthened the imperial power."

"In order to strengthen the imperial power, Zhu Di restored the Imperial Guard and established the East Factory."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Jinyiwei?
"Yes, Zhu Di restored Jinyiwei. Both were restored because of political needs."

Ying Zheng: What kind of guard is this Jin Yiwei?
"The original Jinyiwei was one of the emperor's 26 personal guards. They were in charge of the emperor's security work and the etiquette of attending court for civil and military officials. Later, it was changed to a special organization."

"If Zhu Biao were alive, perhaps there would be no need to consider the issue of Jin Yiwei. The main reason is that Zhu Biao died young and Zhu Yunwen was weak and ignorant. In this case, if Zhu Yuanzhang did not set up Jin Yiwei, Zhu Di would not be able to suppress him."

"Zhu Yunwen is different from Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao was born in the 15th year of Zhizheng. He had been with Zhu Yuanzhang as early as the founding of the country and experienced the bloody period of the founding of the country."

"And his teachers were Song Lian, the greatest scholar in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang, the first civil servant in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Da, the first military general in the founding of the Ming Dynasty."

"Zhu Biao grew up in this kind of environment. Zhu Yuanzhang left the country to him without any worries, but Zhu Yunwen is different."

"How weak is Zhu Yunwen?"

"Zhu Yunwen was born in the [-]th year of Hongwu, when the Ming Dynasty had already been founded. The education he received was the same as that received by other princes in previous dynasties, which was traditional Confucian education."

"And the environment in which he lives is nothing more than the palace, which makes Zhu Yunwen weak and ignorant by nature."

"Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't dare to make any move to resist."

"You know, although Zhu Di is his uncle, the royal family does not talk this way. After all, if the royal family wants to talk this way, doesn't every new emperor have a lot of people to respect?"

"Because his grandfather and father are both emperors, and he has many wives and concubines. There must be many people above him in seniority. How should he be the emperor?"

"You know, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was playing chess with Liu Xian, the eldest son of King Wu, he immediately picked up the chessboard and hit Liu Xian on the head because of a dispute with Liu Xian, killing Liu Xian. , my majestic prince, how can you, the heir apparent, challenge me?"

"Even if Zhu Yunwen slapped Zhu Di on the face at that time, he was still on the right side, but he didn't dare."

"It doesn't matter if he is weak, he is still ignorant, which can be seen from the reduction of vassals."

"In fact, if he had had the foresight, the Battle of Jingnan would not have happened at all, because when the new monarch succeeded, the vassal king would definitely have to meet the new monarch. If he had captured Zhu Di at this time, there would have been no subsequent Battle of Jingnan.”

"You know, from the beginning, Zhu Di was his only focus, because among the vassal kings, only Zhu Di had provoked him, and Zhu Di still had the capital to rebel."

"Most of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were in the interior, and Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose of dividing the vassal kings into various places was to prevent Mongolia from moving south."

"Since it's in the interior, the number of soldiers and horses will definitely not be much. The largest army is only about [-]. And the nine vassal kings on the border all have their own troops, and the heaviest among them is Zhu Di." "Because Peiping, where Zhu Di is stationed, is too important and faces Mongolia. If it is hit, it must be the first target."

"In addition, his military ability is the most outstanding among many brothers. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, he surrendered Taiwei Beiyuan without spending a single soldier."

"Why can he not waste a single soldier? Because he surrounded Naerbuhua."

"Isn't Naer easily surrounded?"

"No, because it was winter at the time, and Naerbuhua never thought that Zhu Di would dare to march in the cold winter."

"The King of Jin who marched with Zhu Di only circled Mongolia a few times before retreating, without any results. If we want to talk about results, it is to highlight Zhu Di's strength."

"Zhu Yunwen doesn't know how to catch the prey that comes to his door and put it in a cage. How do you expect him to successfully cut down the feudal clan? That's simply a fantasy!"

"Based on Zhu Yunwen's character, it would be impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to set up a royal guard, because Zhu Yunwen could not even suppress Zhu Di, let alone the civil servants and generals who founded the country with Zhu Yuanzhang."

"No matter whether the emperor is incompetent or not, in the eyes of other people, he is the supreme being. Some people will even be scared to the point where their legs weaken when they see the emperor, because in traditional thinking, the emperor is second only to heaven."

"But in the eyes of the founding heroes, this was not the case, because they were once the closest people to the emperor, and they knew that the emperor was just an ordinary person, and he did not have any majesty in their eyes."

"The reason why they surrendered to the emperor was only because of the power in the emperor's hands."

"What will they do if the emperor is incompetent?"

"He will rebel. After all, the position of emperor is something that countless people aspire to."

"And Zhu Yuanzhang made his fortune from a broken bowl. He knows better than previous emperors how hard-won a country is. Therefore, he will never allow any instability in his country."

"The most important thing to massacre heroes is a crime. It is impossible to massacre heroes casually. Where can I find the crime?"

"It is impossible to count on the three judicial departments, that is, the Ministry of Justice, the Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple."

"Because they are an open judicial department. If we ask them to frame someone up, everyone in the government will know about it in less than a day, and I don't have that much energy on my own."

"Therefore, it is necessary to create a secret service. This secret service is not only responsible for arresting and interrogating, but also responsible for framing people. Jin Yiwei is the best choice."

"Because Jinyiwei was originally Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard and was only responsible to Zhu Yuanzhang, so the confidentiality was quite good."

"And because his main job on weekdays is not to protect Zhu Yuanzhang, but to supervise the appearance of the ministers, he has a certain degree of dignity in the hearts of the ministers."

"Facts have proven that Zhu Yuanzhang was right. The Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case are all obvious examples."

"As long as there are Jin Yiwei, no matter who Zhu Yuanzhang wants to die, Jin Yiwei can give a perfect answer." (End of Chapter)
