The only person in China who climbed to the throne from abject poverty was Zhu Yuanzhang. From a cowherd, a beggar and a monk, he worked hard to lay the foundation of the world and establish a dynasty to become an emperor. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he had a strong sense of small peasant clan in his bones, even more than all the emperors in China's history. Zhu Yuanzhang compiled an imperial edict of Ming Taizu for future generations to regulate the behavior of Zhu's descendants, and formulated many rules of Zhu's royal family, including the generation typesetting of each son's descendants. For example, the direct descendants of Prince Zhu Biao have the following words: Allow Wen to follow the instructions of his ancestors, admire Wu Da Jun to win, meet good luck by the way, and make good use of his teachers.
Zhu Yuanzhang's ranking of each son's word generation has its profound meaning, especially the prince family, which pinned Zhu Yuanzhang's ardent hope for the inheritance of the throne. I just didn't expect that Zhu Biao died before Zhu Yuanzhang. In order to effectively implement his idea of inheriting lineal relatives, Zhu Yuanzhang did not pass the throne to other sons, but was inherited by Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Judy, the prince of Yan, launched a battle of Jing Nan, overthrew Zhu Yunwen, inherited the unification and became the emperor. So what is the word generation of Judy, the prince of Yan? Zhu Yuanzhang has already set the rules: look forward to seeing each other, be generous and often generous, be kind and equal, and be considerate before Emperor Jian Jing.
After Judy ascended the throne, his eldest son Zhu Gaochi was made a prince. After Judy died, he succeeded to the throne of Injong. The Ming Dynasty has been handed down in Judy's department. So, is every emperor passed down from his son? This is uncertain. Although there were 14 emperors from the Ming Dynasty to Judy, there were only ten generations. By who? The word generation was cut off.
During the period of Zhu Qizhen in Ming Yingzong, the young emperor was captured by the Walla Army in the Tubao under the escort of eunuch Wang Zhen, and the emperor was captured. The Ming Dynasty immediately established a new king, but did not make Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen emperor. He is really too young, only 2 years old, and can't afford to turn the tide. With the approval of Empress Sun Shi, Yu Qian and other ministers made Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qizhen's half-brother, king Xi, which was the first time in the Ming Dynasty that a nobleman succeeded to the throne.
Zhu Qiyu was emperor for seven years, and when Ming Yingzong and Zhu Qizhen came back, they launched a rebellion to seize the door and recapture the throne. After Ming Yingzong's death, his first son, Zhu Jianshen, succeeded to the throne, and his prince Zhu Youtang was also his first son, but Zhu Youtang's son was not the first son born to his wife and queen. When the Ming Dynasty arrived in Zhu Houzhao, the first collateral inheritance took place.
After Zhu Houzhao died, he had no children all his life. Under the screening of Yang Tinghe, the cabinet records that Xing's son was appointed as Emperor Jiajing, a famous emperor in history. Later, the throne of the Ming Dynasty was passed down in this branch of Zhu Houzong. Until the death of Zhu Youxiao, the last emperor of the Apocalypse, he had no children, and once again passed the throne to Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen.
