Why is Zhu Di so partial to Zhu Zhanji when he is obviously just a child?
According to historical records, Zhu Di seems to be dissatisfied with his eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, and always prefers his second son, Zhu Gaoxu. However, considering Zhu Gaochi's son, Zhu Zhanji, he finally chose Zhu Gaochi as his heir to the throne. Why does Zhu Di favor Zhu Zhanji so much?
On the eve of Zhu Zhanji's birth, Zhu Di dreamed that his father, Emperor Hong Wudi, Zhu Yuanzhang, gave him a Da Gui and said to him, "The grandson handed down from generation to generation will prosper forever.". After waking up, Zhu Di was smashing the taste, and a servant came to report that his eldest son, grandson Zhu Zhanji, had just been born. Zhu Di immediately thought of the dream he had just had, and thought it was due to his grandson.
Because Da Gui is a symbol of dignitaries, it indicates that Zhu Zhanji will be rich and expensive. In the second year, when Zhu Di was run by Zhu Yunwen, he remembered this dream, and then he was full of confidence in the future and strengthened his determination to launch the Jing Nan change. So this dream about Zhu Zhanji gave Zhu Di a great hint. As the hero of the dream, Zhu Zhanji can also be called Zhu Di's mascot. Since his birth, his grandfather Zhu Di has been invincible, won the world and succeeded in becoming emperor.
When Zhu Zhanji was just born, Zhu Di went to see him. He saw that Xiao Zhanji looked quite like himself and his face was full of heroic spirit. He was very happy. He said at that time, "This is a blessing of the Ming Dynasty." In the process of growing up, Zhu Zhanji didn't grow crooked. He not only studied Confucianism under the arrangement of his grandfather, but also studied both civil and military as an ambitious child. His early wisdom attracted Zhu Di's attention and was carefully cultivated. "History of Ming Dynasty" recorded the seven years of Yongle, and he was fortunate to Beijing, so that he could observe agricultural tools and food and clothing for the family, and made a "Wu Ben Xun" to give it. In eight years, Cheng Zu conquered the desert and ordered him to stay in Beijing. In November, 1999, he became the great-grandson of the emperor. Naturally, the expedition and conquest are all from. Hu Guang, a bachelor of taste, told the grandson about the history of classics in the army.
Zhu Di not only taught him by example, but also personally arranged his studies. Zhu Gaochi was too weak to fight on horseback, which made Zhu Di, who was going to win the world at once, very dissatisfied with him, and even had the idea of making his second son a prince. Different from his own father, Zhu Zhanji is brave and powerful, and he looks like the ancestor both inside and outside, which also adds a lot to Zhu Gaochi's position.
