Among Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons, the one who looks the most like him is his fourth son Zhu Di.

Whether in terms of personality or in terms of officials and civilians, Zhu Di is almost a copy of Zhu Yuanzhang from another perspective.

Even in early experiences, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang had many similarities.

Both of them have high military talents and are extremely sensitive to military warfare.

In Zhu Di's heart, the person he admires the most was his father Zhu Yuanzhang. He even subconsciously imitated his father in some details.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a working meal of four dishes and one soup. After Zhu Di took office, basically no one cared about it, but Zhu Di cared very much and kept sticking to it.

Zhu Di's literary talent is a little worse, which is related to his childhood education and interests, but this does not mean that his ability to govern the country is weak.

The Yongle Bell was cast and the Yongle Ceremony was revised. Chen Cheng went to the Western Regions. Zheng He voyaged seven times in the West, established the Nuergandus, Uszangdus, and Hamiwei, and incorporated Jiaozhi into the Ming Dynasty, defeated Mongolia to fall and flowing water, built the Dabaoen Temple, and dredged the canal.

Many deeds can prove that Zhu Di deserves the title of Emperor Yongle.

Looking at the 16 Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, 276th year.

Zhu Di's contribution to the Ming Dynasty cannot be ignored. Only the "Hongzhi Restoration" of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Youzhang.

Zhu Di's biggest stain was that he was slaughtered a large number of ministers of the previous dynasty and was incorrect in his throne.

The various slanderings against Zhu Di in later generations mainly came from the Donglin literati in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, the fact that Zhu Di was able to rise to power was in fact in the final analysis, it was still inseparable from Yao Guangxiao's help.

It can be said that without Yao Guangxiao, there would be no Emperor Yongle in the future.

In history, Yao Guangxiao's contributions were not introduced in detail, but he was meaninglessly designated as the number one hero to Zhu Di.

So where is his credit reflected?

Let’s talk about war. He is a monk who works as a part-time Taoist priest and has not brought soldiers for four years in Jingnan.

Let’s talk about governing the government. After Zhu Di took office, he ordered Yao Guangxiao to return to secular life, but was rejected by Yao Guangxiao.

He also gave him a mansion, but Yao Guangxiao still refused to accept it. He just lived in a temple. He put on court clothes when he went to court, and after leaving court, he still changed back to monk's robes.

When Yao Guangxiao went to Suhu to provide disaster relief, he went to Changzhou and distributed all the gold he received to the clan villagers. He didn't care much about gold, silver and wealth.

The only thing worth mentioning is that during the Jing Dynasty, Zhu Di put forward several decisive suggestions.

But just this is the only one, I can't be the first hero.

As mentioned in the previous article, Yao Guangxiao has a very close relationship with the leaders of the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.

So since Yao Guangxiao has inherited the Yin-Yang School, how could he not lay some secrets?

Few people know that Huang Zicheng, as a Confucian student, had a very good personal relationship with Yao Guangxiao.

The circle of top literati in the Ming Dynasty was that big.

Yao Guangxiao was young and studious, and was good at writing poetry. He was good at writing poetry. He was good friends with Wang Bin, Gao Qi, and Yang Mengzai. Song Lian and Su Boheng also recommended him.

Huang Zicheng was the first in the imperial examination and was once an editor of the Hanlin Academy. These top literati circles are naturally very familiar.

Even the matter of reducing the vassal states was largely influenced by Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao knew that if the world was not in chaos, he would have no soil for rebellion.

He, who is proficient in Yin-Yang numerology, may have calculated Zhu Biaoshou to a certain extent.

It is quite mysterious to say that these are, but even after Zhu Biao's death, he still had enough time to plan.

From September of the 20th year of Hongwu to the death of Zhu Yuanzhang in the 31st year of Hongwu.

There were six years in this.

As a monk, he didn't need to be trapped in the vassal state like Zhu Di.

Because Zhu Di was the prince, the Jinyiwei would not monitor him too much.

This gave Yao Guangxiao room to play.

After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Huang Zicheng immediately talked with Zhu Yunwen about the issue of reducing the vassal states.

Because Huang Zicheng was the first to follow Zhu Yunwen, his status in Zhu Yunwen's heart is also very high.

Even if it was Qi Tai, who was given the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, was to be downgraded to Zhu Yunwen's heart.

Qi Tai proposed that the first person to be cut was Zhu Di. Among the many vassal kings, Zhu Di was the strongest, so he continued to do so, and the rest was not worth worrying about.

Obviously, if Zhu Yunwen accepted Qi Tai's suggestion, Zhu Di would have nothing to do.

How could Yao Guangxiao, as a Yin-Yang family, be unprepared for such a situation?

Yao Guangxiao had already discussed the matter of reducing the vassal states many times, laying the groundwork.

Sure enough, Huang Zicheng believed that the kings of Zhou, Qi, Xiang, Dai and Min did a lot of illegal things during the time of the late emperor and were famous.

Now if you want to ask for guilt, you should start with the King of Zhou. King Zhou is the mother's brother of King Yan, and cutting Zhou is to cut off the brothers and feet of King Yan.

Even so, Zhu Di has no chance of winning now, otherwise he would not have to pretend to be crazy.

The most critical step is here.

Li Jinglong, who was nicknamed by later generations, appeared on the stage.

Earlier, Zhu Yunwen sent veteran Geng Bingwen to attack, but Geng Bingwen, a veteran, was not good at attacking difficulties, but was good at defending his achievements.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the Ming Dynasty had been stable now, and after establishing some unsupported countries, those generals who could fight well would be useless, so he simply took them all with one go.

As the King of Seychelles, Zhu Di had long fought against the Mongols and had extremely high military talent. In response, Geng Bingwen was defeated in the first battle.

Li Jinglong was the son of Li Wenzhong, a founding hero of the early Ming Dynasty.

Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. He had outstanding military achievements. After he died of illness in the 17th year of Hongwu,

He was posthumously named King Qiyang, posthumously named "Wujing", and was granted the title of Taimiao. His portrait was hung in the temple of meritorious officials, ranked third, and was buried in Zhongshan.

Li Jinglong inherited the Duke of Cao.

Li Jinglong has an excellent appearance, tall figure, sparse eyebrows, magnificent look, and elegant.

The Ming Dynasty's emphasis on appearance was no less than that of later generations, and even more prominent. For example, the top scholar of the dynasty would not be as good as that of the previous generations. If it weren't for the positive facial features and handsome face.

Even if you are very literary and look crooked, you will definitely not be able to be.

Zhu Di spent his childhood in the army, and he had a good relationship with his cousin Li Wenzhong.

Because there is a big difference in age, my cousin's son Li Jinglong naturally became Zhu Di's childhood playmate.

Because of his childhood experience, Zhu Di was relatively precocious and was very accurate in judging people. After dating Li Jinglong for a while, he discovered that his cousin was actually the "Zhao Kuo" who talked about war on paper.

During many secret talks between Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di, Zhu Di also told Yao Guangxiao about this matter.

Huang Zicheng admires Li Jinglong very much, and Yao Guangxiao’s matchmaking is naturally indispensable.

As expected, after Geng Bingwen's defeat, Huang Zicheng suggested to let Li Jinglong play like Zhu Yunwen.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by Qi Tai at that time.

In the 28th year of Hongwu, Qi Tai was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Yuanzhang casually asked him about the name of the border general, and Qi Tai said it well.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang asked him about some terrain, mountain and landscape on the border.

Qi Tai handed over the terrain manual he carried with him to Zhu Yuanzhang and gave a detailed explanation.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang value him very much, so he decided to let him assist Zhu Yunwen.

From this we can see that Qi Tai has a high understanding of the general, and Li Jinglong's erotic posture may be hidden from him.

But if he had opposed it any more, Zhu Yunwen finally followed Huang Zicheng's advice and let the "God of War of Ming Dynasty" Li Jinglong appear.

These actions seem extremely simple now, but by putting themselves in the shoes of the Yin-Yang family, you can understand how powerful Yao Guangxiao, as a Yin-Yang family, is.

After the morning court the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang came directly to the yard without Zhu An's expectations.

After early, Zhu Yuanzhang did not rush to ask about the "work-for-relief".

Instead, he asked Zhu An, who believed that the minister in the Ming Dynasty was the most valued by the Grandson.

Zhu An pondered for a moment and said, "Yao Guangxiao."
