Zhu Chu, the seventh son of the Emperor, sealed the King of Qi, first sealed Qingzhou, and then settled in Kaiping. In his early years, Zhu Chu made outstanding achievements in the military and was arrogant. He was expelled from the vassal state during the period of Wen Jian, and was later restored as a vassal state by Judy. However, he was deposed because of disrespect for statutes, and Xuande died strangely in three years, namely 1428, at the age of 65.

Zhu Cong's life

Zhu Chu's biological mother is a princess named Da Shi. The legend of Da's family is the concubine of Chen Youliang, the emperor gaozu of the late Yuan Dynasty, who was brought into the harem by Zhu Yuanzhang as a trophy. Tuas gave birth to two sons for Zhu Yuanzhang, namely the seventh son Zhu Chu, King of Qi, and the eighth son Zhu Zi, King of Tan.

There have been rumors in later generations that King Tan is the posthumous son of Chen Youliang. In fact, in terms of months, it is more likely that the King of Qi will be king. Because he has nothing to slander, later scholars forced the title of "posthumous child" on his younger brother Tan.

In April of the third year of Hongwu (AD 1370), Zhu Chu was registered as the King of Qi, and his country was sealed in Qingzhou, Shandong. In March of the seventh year of Hongwu (AD 1374), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the establishment of Qingzhou Guards. Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of money to train these former kings.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen acceded to the throne and showed no pity for his lawless uncle. When dealing with Queen Zhou, Zhu Chu jumped into his sight. I was about to deal with the captaincy, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door. Taking his flag as an example, Zhu Chu's guilt was easily discovered. Any one of them is a capital crime, so Zhu Yunwen immediately took Zhu Chu to Nanjing, abolished Nanjing as Shu Ren according to his crimes, and then put him in prison and his seventh uncle in prison.
