With the death of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, imperial power was always unstable. The rebellion from Zhu Laosi and his ambiguous attitude towards his two sons did not stabilize until the big fat man came to the throne. Anyone who likes the history of the Ming Dynasty knows that the big fat man can ascend to Dabao and become the ninth five-year glory. In fact, a large part of the reason is that he has a good son, including the fact that he can become the prince because he has a good grandson. Otherwise, Zhu Di's heart will always wander. But why does Zhu Di like his grandson Zhu Zhanji so much?
First of all, judging from their portraits, do they look alike? They are all big, dark and fat. The top is Zhu Di and the bottom is Zhu Zhanji.
In ancient times, people believed that many children would bring blessings, but Zhu Di’s third son, there was no new male in the entire Yan Wangmi family, so the birth of Zhu Zhanji was considered by everyone to be a good sign.
There are also rumors that when Zhu Zhanji was alive, he dreamed that Zhu Daba gave him a gui. You must know that the ancient Dagui symbolized power, and strangely, the descendants of the Bazi Zhuan were written on the Dagui, which will be immortalized forever. You know, Zhu Di was just a prince at that time. When he woke up, a servant came to report that his grandson had been born. The ancients were superstitious and naturally combined dreams with his grandson. Mo Sheng ran to see his grandson again and felt that he looked very much like himself. The next year, Zhu Di launched Jingnan. It is estimated that this dream of his grandson strengthened his confidence.
Later, when they won the world, they paid more attention to Zhu Zhanji's training as a hunter. They choose civil servants to be teachers for their grandchildren and require those people to do their best. Zhu Di himself often asked him to follow him around, broaden his horizons, learn the military skills of running a country, and even go to Mobei with him. He almost had an accident.
In the end, Zhu Zhanji lived up to his expectations and began a prosperous life. Unfortunately, his life was too short. After that, this useless son made Ming Dynasty start to decline.
