A new day has begun again. Zhu Di is sitting on the throne of the emperor, overlooking everything in this empire. The previous life-and-death struggle seems to be still vivid in his memory, but it is no longer important.Because for Zhu Yunqi, the loser in that struggle, the end of his political status means that his life is over, whether he himself is alive or dead.But for Zhu Di, the sun is shining today, he has got everything he wants, and for a long time to come, he will use the power in his hands to realize his dream, a dream of a rich country and a strong army. This dream is not only his, but also his father's.

Of course, before this, he must do a few things first, and if these things are not completed, his seat will not be stable. The most important thing is that he has to prove that he is the legitimate emperor. Although Jiangshan is already in his hands, the power of public opinion cannot be ignored. Anyway, he has already been branded as a rebel. There is no other way, but at least let his descendants be emperors in an upright manner.To achieve this, he used two methods: First, he issued an order, ordering that all the rules and regulations implemented in the era of Emperor Jianwen were different from Zhu Yuanzhang's established rules, all of them should be abolished, and the old ancestors' established laws should prevail. .It's just that if Zhu Di wants to gain the recognition of everyone, he must borrow the prestige of the dead father again to show that he is the one who truly understands the spirit of Taizu's governance.

Second, he ordered his subordinates to revise the "Records of Taizu". It is no longer feasible for Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world from scratch, saying "I am a commoner in Huaiyou", and pretending that he is not afraid of the sky and the earth.No one in this world is willing to be a beggar, so his biological mother was left behind by him, and Empress Ma became his aunt. We will discuss this issue in detail later. In addition, he also instructed his subordinates to add a large number of descriptions of novel style in the memoir, such as Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly reprimanded Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunqi during his lifetime. When he saw Zhu Di, he was all smiles, very happy.Even before his death, he repeatedly asked about Zhu Di's whereabouts, and intended to pass on the throne to Zhu Di.However, due to the conspiracy of the treacherous Zhu Yunqi and others, the legal heir Zhu Di did not receive this instruction from Zhu Yuanzhang.As a result, the throne that should have belonged to Zhu Di was shamelessly deprived of it.Reading these contents, people can't help but feel gratified that Zhu Di was finally able to win his own throne while hating villains such as Zhu Yunqi extremely, and lament that justice has finally won, and good people are rewarded.

When Zhu Di finally completed these two tasks, he was really relieved, and the comments that were not good for him were finally deleted. Countless years later, this Jingnan War will be widely circulated in the name of justice.But as one of the witnesses of this period of history, Zhu Di knew very well in his heart that the truth of history was originally written in those tampered places.He dragged his own father from the grave and redressed himself to prove he deserved it. History has proved that Zhu Di failed, he was not able to deceive himself, nor did he deceive the people who came later, because the real historical pen is not the writing brush of the historian, but the human heart.

Whether it is self-deception or self-comfort, after all, the throne is the most realistic.After dealing with the issue of the legitimacy of the succession, the next step is to reward the heroes, which is an extremely important step.Although the last thing the emperor wants to see is the hero after the great cause has been accomplished, after all, these people have invested a lot of capital in the emperor's great cause, holding shares, and kicking them aside when it comes to dividends is not a good end of.After all, it is impossible for any board of directors to be decided by the chairman alone.

Here is also an introduction to the reward system of the Ming Dynasty. You often see scenes of the emperor rewarding ministers on TV. It is always "a thousand taels of silver". Then an eunuch walks up to the minister with a plate full of taels of silver. Thank you and take the money home.The general process is the same, but in many cases, the directors of TV dramas may not have considered how much a thousand taels of silver is. In their plots, these ministers seem to have practiced iron sand palms in martial arts schools, because no matter how the conversion is Well, one thousand taels of silver is not something that can be easily held up with two hands.Here is also a suggestion. When dealing with such plots in the future, you can change the lines, such as "So-and-so, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, and use a horse-drawn carriage to pull it!"

The silver reward mentioned above is just a trivial matter in the reward. Our ancestors understood the truth of the long flow of water very early on.Windfalls come and go quickly, and what is really reliable is the long-term meal ticket.In the Ming Dynasty, this long-term meal ticket was a knighthood. In those days, if your surname was not Zhu, it was very difficult to get this long-term meal ticket. The canteen opened by the old Zhu family had a limited number of seats. Specifically, there are three grades of the meal ticket for the title of nobility, namely the Duke (small stove), the marquis (middle stove), and the earl (big stove). In addition, there is a difference between Liu and Shi. It can only be used by yourself, and your son cannot use it. He is only rich for three generations, and he deserves to starve to death.But the world is different. After you die, your son and son's son can still come to the cafeteria to eat.

Anyone who gets this meal ticket will be issued an iron coupon (certificate) by the emperor to commend the heroic behavior of the person who was sealed.This iron coupon is not simple, it is divided into two versions: ordinary and special.The special editions were issued in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di respectively, because in these two eras it is necessary to work hard to get the iron coupon. The four characters "Founding and Auxiliary Transport" written on the iron coupons of Zhu Yuanzhang's era represent your identity as a founding hero.The four words "Feng Tian Jing Nan" written on the iron coupons of Zhu Di's era represent that you are offering God's will to help me, Zhu Di, usurp power.These two editions are extremely rare, and have never been reprinted in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.Since then, all the iron coupons have been unified into the letter "Shou Zheng Wen Chen" written by the civil minister iron coupons, and the "Xuanli hero" written by the military commander iron coupons.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to get the first two iron coupons, it is not necessarily a good thing.Especially the first edition of "Founding Auxiliary Transport", because according to the statistics of relevant departments, more than 80% of the people who get this iron coupon will be given an additional sightseeing ticket for the underworld by Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang. In addition, there is a special note: one-way ticket, suitable for the whole family, old and young, can be used repeatedly, unlimited number of people. Zhu Di entrusted the heroes who followed him in Jingnan, such as Zhang Yu (whose title was inherited by his son Zhang Fu) and Zhu Neng, etc., were all enfeoffed as hereditary princes. At this time, all the generals were very happy, and the harvest season has come .

But unexpectedly, there was a person who was not interested in conferring rewards at all. In his opinion, these rewards that everyone envied seemed worthless. This person is Dao Yan. Although he has never fought in battle, there is no doubt that he is the number one contributor to Zhu Dijing's success. From planning the rebellion to making suggestions, he is one of the most important persons in charge.It can be said that it was he who helped Zhu Di to the throne.But after he worked so hard to achieve the most important event in the world, he declined all the rewards.In the second year of Yongle (1404), Zhu Di conferred an official title on Daoyan, appointed him as Zishan Doctor, Prince Shaoshi (Zheng Erpin), and officially restored his original name—Yao Guangxiao.

After that, Yao Guangxiao's behavior began to become weird. Zhu Di asked him to grow his hair to return to vulgarity.The world's number one counselor lived in the monk's temple every day, changed into his uniform (official uniform) during the day, and changed into casual clothes (monk's uniform) when he returned to the temple at night. Not only did he not want officials, but he also didn't want money. When he went home to visit his relatives, he gave all the gold and silver treasures that Zhu Di rewarded him to his fellow clansmen.We can't help but ask, why on earth would he do this? In my opinion, there are two reasons why Yao Guangxiao did this. First, he is a smart person. If a resourceful person like him is too presumptuous, Zhu Di will definitely not tolerate him.The words of "Gong Gao Zhen Zhu" were always firmly in his heart. Second, he is different from others, and the purpose of his rebellion is to rebel. I believe many people have been asked, why do you want to study?Generally speaking, the answer to this question is to build the motherland, win glory for the country, etc., but in people's minds, the real purpose of studying is mostly to get promoted, get rich, and to satisfy their various desires.But the facts tell us that doing something for the sake of fame and fortune may be able to gain motivation and success, but to achieve a big career, what is needed is another kind of determination and answer—reading for the sake of reading. Zhu Di rebelled for the throne, and his generals rebelled for the status and honor of the founding heroes.Dao Yan's rebellion is for the sake of rebellion.His vision has never been constrained by money and power, and he has a higher goal.Dao Yan is a bullet, forty years of ups and downs are gunpowder, his tactics are bullets, and Zhu Di is just a lead for him, it doesn’t really matter who the bullet is shot at, it’s his property to be fired. wishes. Yao Guangxiao, a person who is called "the prime minister in black" by later generations, is a very controversial person, a person who is deep and simple, and shrouded in mystery. His wish is actually very simple: It is enough to show your ambitions and live up to what you have learned in your life. During the period of Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di was the vassal king. Emperor Jianwen wanted to cut the vassal. Zhu Di opposed it and finally rebelled. Now that Zhu Di is the emperor, he also wants to cut the vassal. The surviving vassal kings will naturally oppose it, but it is different from before Unfortunately, they were powerless to rebel. After the struggle against the reduction of feudal clans was finally won, Zhu Di, who was on the same front as his brothers, suddenly drew his sword and pointed at these comrades-in-arms not long ago. It's not a big deal, since ancient times, it's been common for fathers and sons to fight each other.And it seems that we can't just find the reason from the cruelty of human nature. They did this kind of behavior only because they were tempted irresistibly, and this temptation is supreme power. If you have the power, you can get rid of all the people you don't like, you can get all the things you want, you can order the world, and you can do whatever you want!Since ancient times, countless moral gentlemen and modest gentlemen have worshiped at its feet, and no one can resist its temptation, so what are brothers? The first one to be "placed" was King Ning, who was forced to follow Zhu Di to "quiet difficulties". In exchange for his wholehearted support, Zhu Di also gave him a blank check as usual, "Everything will be divided into the world".Of course, Zhu Di, a banker who never cashed checks, was no exception this time. After Jing Nan succeeded, he put this sentence behind him. Ning Wang Zhu Quan is also a sensible person. He knows that the so-called promise of splitting the world is purely fictional, and there is no similarity. It is very possible to split his head, so he proposed to Zhu Di very pragmatically, I don’t want to go to the north. I also don't want to control the military power, I hope you can seal me to Suzhou and live a comfortable life for two days. Zhu Di's answer was no. Then go to the Qiantang area, it's not bad there either. Still not good, Zhu Di promised him again: Except for these two places, the whole country is up to you to choose! King Ning Zhu Quan smiled wryly and said: "Do you still dare to choose again? You can figure it out." Therefore, Zhu Quan was sealed to Nanchang, which was carefully selected by Zhu Di for him.And Zhu Quan, who was forcibly assigned, would not be in a happy mood. He, who has always been competitive, was ruthlessly exploited. He will never be convinced. This kind of emotion is like a poisonous bud. , which grew in his heart and passed on to his children and grandchildren. The opportunity for revenge will eventually come. In May of the fourth year of Yongle (1406), Qi Wang's title and officials were cut off, and in August, he was abolished as a commoner. In the sixth year of Yongle (1408), the officials and guards of King Min were cut off. In the tenth year of Yongle (1412), the officials and guards of the Liao king were cut off. In the nineteenth year of Yongle (1421), Zhou Wang's guards were cut off. Therefore, the unsolved problems of Emperor Jianwen were finally solved by his uncle Zhu Di.It is a great irony that the most important event in the period of Emperor Jianwen, the cutting of the vassals, was finally done by the vassal king Zhu Di. After completing these aftermaths, Zhu Di can finally focus on dealing with major national affairs. Facts have proved that he does have the qualities of an excellent emperor, and we will also resume production of those things that Mingjun did after he succeeded to the throne in history. Politics and other stereotypes were put on him.It was another piece of singing and dancing, peace and prosperity. In view of this, the following narrative should be extremely dull. It's a pity that Zhu Di is not an ordinary wise emperor. His story is far more tortuous and mysterious than those of the Taiping emperors, because there are always two mysteries surrounding him. These two mysteries have plagued future generations for hundreds of years. Below we conduct our own exploration of these mysteries in the hope of finding out the truth. "Yongle Shilu" records: Empress Gao (Empress Ma) gave birth to five sons, Prince Changyiwen Prince Biao... the next time (Zhu Di), and the next week Wang Huan.This is the official history record, from which it can be seen that Zhu Di is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma. But is this really the case? In the twenty years from Yuan to Zhengzheng (AD 1360), Zhu Di was born in the flames of war. He is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. But it was not Empress Ma. The woman who watched his birth with a happy smile had already been obliterated by history. In fact, after hundreds of years of research by historians, until now, we do not know the real name of this mother, and even her real identity is controversial.These mysteries are man-made.Because some people don't want this mother to reveal her identity and deny that he has a son named Zhu Di. The person who concealed the truth was Zhu Di himself. Because Zhu Di is the emperor and the emperor who robbed his nephew of the throne, he must be the son of Empress Ma, because only in this way can he be a descendant and have enough capital to inherit the throne. He must not be the son of a lowly concubine, absolutely not! It is precisely because of these political reasons that this mother is deprived of the right to have a son. She will never be able to watch her children grow up like other mothers, and proudly say to those around them when they grow up: "Look, that's my son!" In all the official history books, she is just an ordinary concubine with no prominent family background and no proud children. She lived an ordinary life and died an ordinary one. Although Zhu Di repeatedly revised the history books and eliminated many evidences, it is very reasonable that history cannot hide this sentence. There are flaws, and what is even more unbelievable is that it exists in the official history books. The first flaw is in the Ming History "Huang Zicheng Biography", which records: "Zicheng said: King Zhou, the mother and brother of King Yan." From this sentence, we can clearly understand the fact that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, He and Zhou Wang are brothers of the same father and mother.Some people may think this is nonsense, because "Yongle Shilu" also records that the two of them are brothers from the same mother, but the question is, who is their mother? So below we will lead to the second flaw. In the "Biography of Taizu Cheng Musun Guifei", it is recorded as follows: "Hongwu passed away in September of the seventh year, and there were two at the thirtieth year. The emperor ordered the king of Zhou to serve his mother with no children Three years." This sentence means that after the death of the imperial concubine, because there is no son, the king of Zhou is appointed to serve as the imperial concubine for three years, but the key sentence comes later: "The concubine serves the biological mother for three years, and the sons serve as the concubine mother. Period, starting from the concubine." "The concubine served his birth mother for three years!" Seeing this sentence clearly, the key lies here.It is precisely because Zhou Wang is a concubine that he can recognize his concubine as a loving mother and serve her for three years.Then introduce the condition that King Yan and King Zhou are brothers before us, and everyone should have a clear understanding of Zhu Di's identity. If someone doesn't understand, I can describe this inference process in a simpler and clearer way. Condition A, King Zhou and King Yan are brothers from the same mother; Condition B. King Zhou is a concubine; Come to the conclusion that C. King Yan is a bastard. This is recorded in official history books, and there are countless unofficial histories. Since this is an extremely important issue, we do not quote unofficial histories, but there is another "Nanjing Taichang Temple Records" that should be recorded in official historical records. The true identity of the mother - concubine 碽. Here we first talk about what kind of institution Taichang Temple is. Taichang Temple is a ceremonial institution, which is mainly responsible for sacrifices, rituals and music. The organization implements etiquette, so its records are the most accurate. It is said that with the records of Taichang Temple, there is nothing to dispute about this matter, but it took a long time for it to happen, and a new problem emerged. This book has been lost. Maybe seeing this, someone is going to scold me. After talking so much, the result is empty talk, isn't it funny? I'm really sorry, because I didn't lose this book. Even if you search all the libraries, you can't find this book, but don't worry, because although I haven't read this book, the ancients did read it. and recorded it in his own book.For example, it is recorded in "National History Variations" and "Sanyuan Notes". It is indeed stated in "Nanjing Taichang Temple Chronicles" that Zhu Di's mother is a concubine, and the God of Xiaoling is at the mercy of the left concubine Li Shu. Crown Prince Zhu Biao, King Qin, King Jin, and Concubine Yu on the right, were born ancestors Zhu Di. You must know that in ancient times, the order of the gods was not arranged according to the strokes of the surnames, but strictly according to the status. The "Sanyuan Notes" even pointed out that Qian Qianyi (a scholar at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty) paid homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty on New Year's Day in 1645, and found that the gods of the Xiaoling Mausoleum were arranged just as in the Chronicles of Taichang Temple in Nanjing. According to the records, the spiritual position of Concubine Yu is the first on the right, which shows her high status. Although the strength of the proof mentioned above cannot be compared with Ming history, from a legal point of view, it can be regarded as witness testimony, which is indirect evidence. When we connect all the evidence, we will find that the identity of Zhu Di's biological mother should be very clear up. It is also specially noted here that the issue of the identity of Chengzu's biological mother has been demonstrated by two famous historians in my country, Mr. Wu Han and Mr. Fu Sinian. Here, I would like to pay tribute to these two great ancestors. The mystery restores the truth of history. But unfortunately, we have no way of knowing the life of the mother who gave birth to Zhu Di. We only know that his son erased almost all traces of her in the world and refused to admit that he was her son. Zhu Di once again saluted Empress Ma's god. Although Empress Ma is indeed a kind elder, and although she has taken care of him meticulously, she is not his mother after all. I also have no other choice. In order to sit on the throne, I have already narrowly escaped death. How can I convince everyone if I take on the title of a bastard again?How can you feel at ease? So I amended the records, so I annihilated the evidence, and I must never admit that you are my mother!The only thing I can do is to remove your god position and improve your status, that's all I can do.I know these are not enough, nor enough to repay your kindness, but I have no other choice. You are my mother, only in my heart, forever. Is Emperor Jianwen really dead?This was a question that Zhu Di had thought about for a long time. He had thought about it for 22 years, starting from the success of Jingnan in the fourth year of Jianwen (AD 1402) and ending in the 21st year of Yongle (AD 1423).To his credit, he finally found the answer to this question, just a year before his death. Let us go back to the summer of the fourth year of Jianwen (AD 1402) to see the beginning of the mystery. On June 13th, Li Jinglong opened the Jinchuan Gate, became a shameless traitor, and let the northern army enter the city, but Zhu Di did not immediately attack the inner city. His purpose was to wait for Emperor Jianwen to commit suicide or surrender. There are no other options besides the two roads.However, Emperor Jianwen was destined to oppose him all his life.He chose the third way. When Zhu Di, who was camped at the Longjiang Station, found that the palace city was on fire, he was very flustered and immediately ordered soldiers to enter the city. Fighting the fire was the second priority. The most important thing was to find one thing—Emperor Jianwen. To see people!Dead to see the corpse! Zhu Di was very aware of the stakes in this matter. Even if Emperor Jianwen died, he would be charged with forcing his lord to death.If he is alive, he can be locked up, and he is not afraid of flying to the sky. But the most frightening thing is disappearance. It would be troublesome if the emperor disappeared. After all, Zhu Yunqi is the legal emperor, and he just occupied the capital. Most of the country is still loyal to him. If he slips out, find a place to call on the minister Qin Wang and lead troops to attack him. When the time comes, the outcome It's really unknown. But what they were afraid of, after investigation, Zhu Yunqi's body was really not found!Zhu Di was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and ordered the soldiers to step up the investigation, but still found nothing.Some people may wonder, Zhu Di has already controlled the political power, is it not easy to find someone? To tell you the truth, it is really not easy, because this person cannot be found publicly. First of all, you can’t post a missing person notice, and it will definitely not be effective if you see the notice and return quickly. Secondly, you can’t post a wanted warrant, write something like a big reward if you catch it, because Zhu Di’s actions According to his own statement, it is Jing Nan, that is, the so-called sweeping out traitors, the emperor is not wrong, how can he be wanted, so this is not acceptable.In the end, he couldn't openly send people to search for it on a large scale, because it would be tantamount to telling everyone that Emperor Jianwen was still alive, and those with ulterior motives in their hearts would be ready to move, and the throne was destined to be unstable. But I have to look for it. In case a Jianwen emperor pops up one day, regardless of whether it is true or not, there must be some appeal. Even if it is settled down, two or three may come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which will not make people feel at ease. ?Don't you see that a so-called "Third Prince Zhu" made the Qing Dynasty restless for more than a hundred years, so this is really a terrible thing. To solve this problem, Zhu Di came up with an excellent plan, which is divided into two parts: First of all, to announce to the outside world that Emperor Jianwen had set himself on fire in the palace and found the body, which means that all loyal ministers of Emperor Jianwen, you should give up your heart. Secondly, they sent people to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. The specific investigation work was done by two people, and the routes of the two people were also different, namely local and overseas.The names of these two people, one is Hu Wei and the other is Zheng He. Everyone is familiar with the story of Zheng He, and we will introduce in detail the great feats caused by this accident in the following chapters. Here, we will mainly talk about the problems of Hu Wei's journey. Hu Wei, a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, was neither a descendant of Jingnan nor a descendant of an important minister.He is an inconspicuous figure in the court. But Zhu Di chose him, because it is such a person who is suitable to carry out such a secret mission. No one cares, no one cares, even if something happens, you can declare that this person has nothing to do with you, who will you go? In the fifth year of Yongle (AD 1407), Hu Wei set off with a top-secret mission, and Zhu Di gave him a business name as usual-looking for immortals.This name is really appropriate, because immortals are originally invisible, but they are indeed worth looking for. If they can't be found in a hundred years, no one will doubt them.Hu Wei thus started the most important task in his life - finding people. Of course, both Zhu Di and himself knew that what he was looking for was not a fairy, but a dead person, at least a person who had been issued a death certificate. Zhu Di looked at the disappearing figure of Hu Min, and hoped that the news of that person would reach his ears as soon as possible, whether he was dead or alive, as long as he let me know.As always, he believed he was making the right choice and that this man would have to tell me the answer to my question. His judgment was correct, and Hu Wei would indeed give him the answer.He was also prepared for a long wait, but he didn't expect that the waiting time would be really long. Hu Wei began to faithfully perform his duties. He "traveled all over the world, counties, towns, and towns, secretly investigating the presence of Emperor Jianwen". During this period, even when his mother died, he did not go home to visit, but continued his work , Exploring this secret has become an important part of his life.His efforts were not in vain, and finally, he found the answer, sixteen years later. Now that the answer will be revealed sixteen years later, let’s take a look at why there is such a big controversy about the death of Emperor Jianwen. In fact, most of the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty believe that Emperor Jianwen did not die, and there are some unofficial records in detail. Although it is not credible to understand the various situations when Emperor Jianwen fled, it is still worth seeing. According to the book "Zhi Shen Lu" published during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jianwen was completely hopeless on the day the city was destroyed and wanted to commit suicide. At this time, an eunuch suddenly stood up and said: "When the ancestor died, he left a box. , Said that you can only open the box when you encounter a catastrophe, now is the time, please open the box, Your Majesty." Then, they took out the box and opened it, and found everything inside, including the monk's ultimatum, cassock, monk's hat, razor, and even twelve taels of platinum.What is even more amazing is that there are also Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang's personal instructions, indicating the escape route.Therefore, Emperor Jianwen and others escaped and ascended to heaven. After reading the above records, I believe that everyone may have a feeling of deja vu. Yes, these records seem to contain the writing and plot of martial arts novels. Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed clever, but not to this extent. Even if he foresees his grandson's future If he wanted to run, but he could prepare clothing props and tolls in advance, and he could even clearly indicate the route of running, so it was obviously nonsense.Just like in martial arts novels, a certain hero falls off a cliff, and then meets a living senior who has not been on the mountain for decades, or digs up the relics left by the dead senior, and such legendary plots have never been seen in history. Rare. Although there are these almost absurd records, most of the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty believe that Emperor Jianwen did not die, so why does this issue still cause so much controversy?This is because later, an event happened that made the life and death of Emperor Jianwen no longer a purely historical issue, but an extremely complicated political issue. This incident is the "Third Prince Zhu" incident, that is, when the Ming Dynasty fell, the third prince Zhu did not die, but survived and continued to organize anti-Qing events. If you say that the third prince Zhu is really a god, From Shunzhi to Kangxi and Yongzheng, after three dynasties, he haunted the rulers of the Qing Dynasty like a ghost, until the death of the three emperors, he was always fighting on the front line of anti-Qing.The Qing government was extremely troubled by this ghost.Obviously, there are many similarities between the story of Emperor Jianwen and the third prince Zhu. Therefore, when compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing government ordered the historians to change this history, insisting that Emperor Jianwen committed suicide and died. What is worthy of recognition is that many historians adhered to their principles, withstood the pressure, and insisted that Emperor Jianwen was not dead, but there will always be shameless people no matter which dynasty they are in. University scholar Wang Hongxu is such a person.His character is obviously not as good as his knowledge. In order to cater to the Qing government, he privately revised the Ming History Draft (Ming History Draft), and determined that Emperor Jianwen was dead.Since the history of the Ming Dynasty is an official history book after all, it has influenced many people's views on the death of Emperor Jianwen. It was not until modern times that the historians had a relatively positive opinion on the issue of Emperor Jianwen's death. The truth of history has always been shrouded in fog, and countless people have modified and distorted it for various purposes to suit their own needs. But I always believe that there is only one truth, and it must be revealed one day.
