By the Ming Dynasty, Qingzhou had been enfeoffed by three princes, namely Zhu Chu, the seventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the second son of Judy in Ming Taizu, and You Zhu, the seventh son of Zhu Jianshen in Ming Taizu. Among them, King Heng came to Qingzhou in the 13th year of Hongzhi of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty (AD 1499), which was 130 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yimai has been circulating in Qingzhou for nearly 150 years. Zhu Youchang, the last king of Heng Dynasty, fell to the Qing Dynasty in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (A.D. 1644) and was killed by the Qing court in the third year of Shunzhi (A.D. 1646).
Hanwang Zhu made great contributions to the neutrality in the Jingnan War, so he often coveted the position of Prince. When Judy first gave him the title of Yunnan, Hanwang rolled around in Nanjing and refused to leave. Emperor Yongle couldn't beat him and changed his name to Qingzhou. This time, Hanwang did not explicitly object, but stayed in Nanjing for many years, but did not go to San Francisco. This delay lasted until the fourteenth year of Yongle. Determined, Judy asked Hou Mengying of Baoding and Shi Kui, the right assistant minister of the official department, to build the Han Palace and the Han Shizi House, and changed the guard of the Han House to Qingzhou. However, in March of the fifteenth year of Yongle, Hanwang's plot to "support the dead and recruit orphans" was exposed. Although Judy didn't abolish his son at the suggestion of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, he was sent to Lean County, which is close to Beijing and Nanjing. In case of Hanwang's insurrection, the imperial court can quickly dispatch troops to annihilate them. Eight years later, Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, personally proved the wisdom of his grandfather.
Then it is obvious that Zhu Chu, the king of Qi, was the first to be assigned to Qingzhou. Why did Judy let her son go to Qingzhou after the disaster? Where did Zhu Cong, who was originally sealed here, go? Today, the author will talk about the life of the King of Qi.
Zhu Cong was born in Zheng Zhi, Yuan Shundi, in the 24th year (A.D. 1364),165438+1October 29th, and his biological mother was Da Shi Ding Fei. Dashi is said to be the concubine of Chen Youliang, Emperor Gaozu of the late Yuan Dynasty, and was brought into the harem as a trophy by Zhu Yuanzhang. 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, but in fact, judging from the month, the King of Qi is more likely. It is precisely because he has nothing that can be used to denigrate Ming Taizu that later scholars put the title of "posthumous child" on his brother Wang Tan's head.
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. For the civil servants in the palace, Lao Zhu spared no effort to transfer the rural children who told stories in Wenhua and Wuying Hall to the palace. For example, the clerks in Qixiang Prefecture supervised the expansion of the empire. The history of Qixiang government is assistant professor Hu Long. In terms of military accomplishment, from October of the ninth year of Hongwu (AD 1376), the King of Qi and his brothers, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the Prince of Yan, the King of Wu and the King of Chu, went to Fengyang for a one-year special training. After the enfeoffment of the kings of Qin Jin, the King of Qi began to return to Fengyang for special training in March of the eleventh year of Hongwu (AD 1378) and did not return to Nanjing until the first month of the following year.
In October of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Chu, king of Qi, officially became Qingzhou. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, as a part of Zhu Yuanzhang's Yunnan policy, the Dali family, which had been prominent in the local area for hundreds of years, was moved to the mainland. Its leaders, Duan Shihe and Xuanwei, were moved to Qingzhou to serve in the army of the King of Qi. At that time, the king of Qi was on the ground in Shandong, and that was called a soldier who could fight. According to the data of Hongwu for twenty-two years, the total number of left-back noncommissioned officers in Shandong and Qingzhou is 674 10.
In the 23rd year of Hongwu (A.D. 1390), the King of Qi ushered in the first expedition in his life. In addition to Qingzhou Guards, there are 20,000 Shandong Dusi, Yanzhou Guards and Xu Pi's elite sergeant "Ma bu" or horse stance just look. The King of Qi commanded the expedition and cooperated with Prince Judy in the Northern Expedition. In March of the following year, Zhu Chu once again led the escort cavalry to hunt in Kaiping. Zhu Yuanzhang specially warned his son not to compete with his generals.
In the 31st year of Hongwu (A.D. 1398), Zhu Yuanzhang died and Zhu Yunwen, the great-grandson of the emperor, succeeded to the throne. When Zhu Yunwen was a great-great-grandson, he and his aides made a national policy, that is, to cut off the border prince. Although the King of Qi in Hongwu period made outstanding achievements, his rough character doomed his attack.
In April of the first year of Wen Jian (A.D. 1399), the King of Qi was deposed as Shu Ren and stayed in Nanjing for three years. In the fourth year of Wen Jian (AD 1402), in June 13, Prince Judy broke through Jinchuan Gate and entered Beijing. In order to ensure the safety of King Zhou and King Qi, Judy specially sent a thousand cavalry to rush in and rescue the two kings (although I thought this cavalry actually went to the palace to kill the emperor, just to save the two kings conveniently).
In July of the same year, it was ordered to rebuild the palace of Qi State. In August, his three sons were named King Le 'an, King Changshan and King Pingyuan respectively. In September, he was ordered to restore Qingzhou and give musicians, colored coins and paper money. In December, I ordered the Ministry to give 10-year-old Qi Wang Lumi ten thousand stones.
At the beginning of the re-sealing, the King of Qi behaved quite normally. In May of the first year of Yongle (A.D. 1403), Zhu Cong also sent Zhong Xin, commander in chief, to Beijing to pay tribute to stone beds and dragon palm boots. Judy also generously returned sandalwood, Dalbergia odorifera, real fragrance, black fragrance, instant fragrance, frankincense and other spices. In the second year of Yongle, the King of Qi came to Korea, and Judy specially hosted a banquet for her younger brother in Gaihua Hall. When scholars from the King of Qi went to North Korea, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi hosted a banquet in the Cultural Houdian.
However, in the three years of Yongle, things have changed. At that time, the King of Qi, under the escort of Wang Fu, took over the Yugoslav capital of Qingzhou North Gate, and built a wall between the city gate and Guang Zhi Gate in Wang Fu. In this way, the area around the north gate of Qingzhou has completely become the independent kingdom of the King of Qi, and it is impossible for local departments to supervise it. Judy specially presented books to the King of Qi, pointing out that he was abandoned during the construction of the city as a warning.
In that year 1 1 month, the king of qi first expressed regret and apology, and in April of the following year, he sent Zhu Xianyu, the king of Changshan, to the DPRK, expressing his hope to come to Beijing in person to "meet each other and hate each other late". With Judy's consent, Zhu Cong arrived in Nanjing in May. It stands to reason that with so many preparations ahead, Zhu's trip to Nanjing is just a formality, so he won't be harsh. However, when Wu rushed to the court to impeach the King of Qi, he was angered and blurted out a sentence that completely changed his fate: "When the treacherous court officials want to speak effectively, do they want to kill me again?" I want to kill this generation! "
The king of Qi is really out of the question. He compared Judy's courtiers to Zhu Yunwen's "traitors". Judy will also be the king of national subjugation. Isn't that a curse? So in a rage, Judy put Zhu Cong under house arrest in Nanjing, and his squire guards and officials such as Changshi were dismissed. Qingzhou Zhongwei and Zuowei were all removed, while the chief history department, instrument and health department, loyalist and a captain of the Qi government were all transferred to nearby health centers.
In fact, Judy has not decided whether to abolish Zhu Cong's throne at this time, but when he was in Nanjing, he could not reflect on himself, but complained. So in August, Judy called his son to the capital and abolished Shu Ren.
According to the words of Zhang Yun, Minister of Industry in July of the third year of Hongwu, the State of Qi established the original Yidu county government on the basis of Qingzhou. At the end of the 12th year of Hongwu (A.D. 1379), Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hou Wuliang, the father-in-law of the King of Qi and the founding father of Jiangyin, to personally supervise the renovation of the palace for his son-in-law. Wu Liang stayed in Qingzhou for two years, and even finally died in Qingzhou.
According to textual research, the south wall of Qi should be in the south of the Academy, the Dong Xiao wall is close to Tea Garden Lane, and the Xixiao wall is in the north of Chenghuang Temple, with the same width from east to west. The aforementioned gate is Qi's north gate, and there is a garden between this gate and the north gate of Qingzhou City, which is surrounded and becomes an important inducement for his final downfall.
In the second year of Jingtai (A.D. 145 1), a fire broke out in the Yunzheng Hall, the Yizhi Hall and the Palace Gate of the King of Qi. Three years later, officials from the Third Division of Shandong Province suggested that the Qi Palace was either burned or decayed, so please hand it over to the garrison. By the first year of Tianshun (A.D. 1457), all the remaining copper and iron vessels in the palace were transported to Beijing, and the Qi Palace was completely abandoned.
The records of Princess Qi in the history books are very contradictory. According to the above statement, Zhu Yuanzhang was engaged to his son early, and the princess should be the daughter of Hou Wuliang in Jiangyin. This is clearly stated in Zhu's letter to Wu Liang:
As the New Year approaches, the King of Qi can already remember to give gifts to his future father-in-law, which shows that this marriage is certain. But strangely, in February of the fifteenth year of Hongwu (AD 1383), it was suddenly recorded in the memoirs that the daughter of Hou Wufu of Anlu was registered as Princess Qi, just three months after Hou Wuliang died in Jiangyin.
Is this a mistake in recording, or does Zhu have other plans? I checked the Biography of the Kings of Qi in the Ming Dynasty and didn't mention anything about the princess. Cha Liangchuan, it is said that his daughter is a princess of Qi.
However, in Wu Fu's biography, there is no record that his daughter is a princess of Qi. In addition, it is recorded in Gongkao, Tribute CollectionNo. 1 in the seventeenth year of Wanli: "Wu Fei died first and was buried in Qingzhou". In addition, the reason why Jiangyin Hou Wugao (the son of Wu Liang), who was guarding Liaodong during the Wen Jian period, was easily ousted by Judy with trickery was probably because he was Wang Qi's big brother. Therefore, the author thinks that the record in A Record is wrong, and the princess of the King of Qi should still be the daughter of Wu Liang.
According to records, the King of Qi had two sons during the Hongwu period. The eldest son, Zhu Xianyu, was born on June 2, the seventeenth year of Hongwu, and was named King Le 'an. The second son, Zhu Xianyu, was born in the 18th year of Hongwu (65438+February 30th) and was named the King of Changshan. Judging from their titles, both of them are illegitimate children of the King of Qi, not born of Princess Wu. As for the King of the Plain mentioned above, he should have been born in the period of Wen Jian.
After the restoration of Qi Huangong, due to the death of Princess Wu, in July of the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu (that is, four years), the daughter of Deng Yu, the late Duke of Wei, was recorded as the Princess of Qi. It is also quite tragic to say that Deng Yu's daughter is not the second princess of the King of Qin, but the second princess of the King of Qi, the daughter of six founding dukes. Why can't she get a princess?
After being abolished, his concubine Deng Yu Yongle died in the ninth year (AD 14 1 1). At that time, officials of the Ministry of Rites proposed that Shu Ren be buried as a gift, but Judy could not bear it and ordered Wang Feili to be buried.
In the 11th year of Yongle (A.D. 14 13), Zhu Xianyu, the king of Changshan, died, and Judy still ordered people to hold a funeral for him.
As for Zhu Xun himself, it is said that he died in Xuande for three years (AD 1428). When Lou Lian, a native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, rebelled in Fujian, he was called the King of Seven Rooms and Little Qi. After this matter was settled by Fujian provincial capital, Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong, implicated hundreds of his colleagues. Ming History immediately pointed out that the King of Qi and his three sons died suddenly, and only the youngest son was placed in Luzhou, suggesting that the death of the King of Qi was directly related to Ming Xuanzong.
In the fifth year of Jingtai (A.D. 1453), the youngest son of the King of Qi and his family of six were placed in Nanjing and given some freedom. This man lived a long life until the first year of Ming Xianzong Chenghua (A.D. 1465). He also read about him in the records and gave birth to three children. According to the records in the Book of Filial Piety, his son's name is Zhu Nengzeng, which conforms to the naming rules of Qi and Wang. The word generation of the King of Qi: "Praise be to the wise, and their wisdom is really honorable. His cultivation period is profound and elegant, and his thoughts can be restored. "
According to Ming History, in the 13th year of Jiajing (A.D. 1534), Zhu Changkuai, the son of great-grandson, was released completely. Since then, descendants of the King of Qi have been bullying in Nanjing, regardless of the government.
Conclusion: As the only prince who was abolished twice in the history of Ming Dynasty, the tragedy of King Qi is more likely due to his own character. In the early Ming Dynasty, a story was recorded in the secret archives of Emperor Mao Qin:
In fact, chopping pigeons and burning sparrows, if done by children, is still a lesson, although it is a bit cruel. But the King of Qi, who made this behavior, was already 15 years old. I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang saw it and called him back to Beijing to teach him a lesson. Unfortunately, the results are not significant. In the end, Zhu Shu was abolished twice, which can be said to be due to his tyrannical character.
