From the commander-in-chief with thousands of troops to a captain with 300 people, this cliff-like demotion is unbearable for ordinary people, and so is Zhi Zhu, but he knows that nothing matters, as long as he is alive, so he accepted the punishment with a clear conscience.
From then on, Zhi Zhu lived a quiet life in Jingzhou city, not seeking great wealth and great wealth, as long as the whole family was safe. Therefore, during the Yongle period, the population of Liao doubled, and its descendants reached more than 20, almost catching up with his father. As the saying goes, "Many children are blessed". Zhi Zhu does have many sons, but "many blessings" are not reflected in him. On the contrary, Zhi Zhu got into trouble because he had too many sons.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, the throne of the captaincy will be inherited by the eldest son or grandson. If not, the eldest son will inherit it. If you can't mix with the prince, you will be named king of the county. Zhi Zhu's eldest son, named Zhu Guitang, was made a prince a long time ago, ready to succeed his father as the king of Liao. Zhu Guitang, who naturally ranks second, is hopeless. In the second year of Yongle, he was named Changyang King as usual.
If all goes well, naturally Zhu Guitang will be like this all his life. Unexpectedly, his eldest brother died when he became the king of Liao, and he died at the age of four. Four-year-old children naturally have no offspring, so Zhu Guitang directly became the prince of Liao country.
It is the dream of many brothers to change from a county king to a prince at once, but this situation cannot happen at any time, and other brothers can only envy it.
Most of Zhu Guidang's brothers can only envy and have no illusions about themselves. After all, there are too many brothers, who can die every day and let themselves be born late, just accept their fate. According to the current situation, Zhu Guitang only needs to wait slowly. The title of King Liao is at your fingertips, but he almost didn't become King Liao, and even put his life in it.
Some people don't accept their fate. The boss is dead. Why do you have to bring your penis? Everyone is involved. Zhu Guixia, the third king of Yuan 'an, and Zhu Guixian, the fifth king of Badong, are not satisfied with their second brother as heirs, and they also want to be the king of Liao. But according to the normal way, there is basically no chance. What shall we do? Finally, they came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to report Zhu Zhimou's rebellion against his father, so that Zhu Zhi and Zhu Gui 'an would be cleaned up, their brotherly relationship would be reused by the emperor because of "putting righteousness above family interests", and the title of prince would be readily available, and they thought that with the bad relationship between Judy and Zhi Zhu, they would succeed.
Sure enough, when the tip-off letter was submitted, Zhu Zhi and Zhu Guixuan had been controlled. They were surprised and frightened when they learned that this was a report by Zhu Guixie and Zhu Guixuan. Because both father and son know that Judy has always regarded Liao Wang as a thorn in her side, but Zhi Zhu has kept a low profile and found no excuse to deal with it. This time, their father and son were reported for rebellion, and they will certainly come to a bad end. At the thought of this, Zhu Zhi died without waiting for the treatment result of the fourth brother. Zhu Gui was young and able to bear the pressure, and it was this suffering that finally brought the result.
Judy didn't give the will to deal with it because Judy didn't return from the Northern Expedition, and Zhu Gaochi, the prince of the army, couldn't handle it.
Judy did not come back alive in the end. He died on his way back from the Northern Expedition, and Zhu Gaochi became king. This man is a generous and kind man. Because I was excluded by my younger brother all the year round, I hated this struggle for the throne. Immediately after he acceded to the throne, posthumous title's 15th uncle "Wang Jingying" made Zhu Guitang inherit the title of Liao Wang, and then held a funeral, which was equal to the conclusion that Liao Wang's rebellion case was not established.
Although the emperor gave the order, Zhu Guitang, the king of Liao, was embarrassed, because Zhu Guixie's brothers had a big funeral and didn't give face to the new king of Liao, the second brother, saying that they would never give Dai Xiao a rebellion.
Zhu Guitang was very unhappy, but before he wrote, the emperor knew what Zhu Guixie's brothers had done and directly wrote letters to abolish the two brothers.
At the moment, Zhu Guitang's heart is very happy. He inherited the Liao king and dealt with two tartars. From then on, the whole Jingzhou city was his own world. It stands to reason that the Liao Wang family has always been a thorn in the emperor's blood, and Zhi Zhu's low-key grandson survived. How did Zhu Can Guitang, as a vassal, be honest and be handed down from generation to generation? But Zhu Guitang is not a good person. Is he here?
After Zhu Guiyang succeeded to the throne, he cleaned up his father's legacy, and it was a shock to find out. It turned out that my father didn't leave much legacy, and his father's title was the lowest among the princes. How did my father get into this situation?
Zhu Gui Party has no rebellious ambition. He wants to eat, drink and be merry, but how can he satisfy himself with this money? Moreover, as the second generation of Wang, this is really shameful compared with other uncles.
Zhu Guitang wrote to Zhu Gaochi, saying that we are all descendants of Mao and prisoners, but our wages are very low. Now our family has a large population, and we can't make ends meet. For grandpa's sake, help our brother.
Zhu Gaochi felt sorry for his brother when he saw him like this. He also knew the feud between Liao Wang and his father, so he agreed to give Liao Wang a raise.
Zhu Guitang didn't expect a salary increase to be so easy, and he was ecstatic. It seems that the emperor is not so tall and wise, but told a lie and got a raise, so he decided to make persistent efforts. Zhu Gaochi died after ten months as emperor, and Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne. Zhu Guidang did the same thing again, saying that people in need in his family should be taken care of by the emperor's nephew. Zhu Zhanji had just ascended the throne and could not refuse Uncle Liao Wang's request, so he agreed to add 300 followers to him.
Zhu Guidang is very awesome this time. He wanted money and important people, so he began to show off his father Zhu Zhi's attitude of keeping a low profile and being careful to save his life.
Zhu Gui Party will punish his brother at home, and he will establish his absolute authority. Although the third and fifth brothers were dealt with, other brothers still had people who were dissatisfied with him, especially Zhu Gui, the twelfth brother of Hengyang. . Zhu Guidang hated him and his mother, so he used his status as the king of Liao to persecute him in every way. The mother and son of King Hengyang couldn't bear to find the emperor, but it was somebody else's business after all, and the emperor was helpless. They can only reprimand Zhu Guitang for being too kind to her common mother and brother. Unexpectedly, Zhu Guitang's resentment made the persecution more serious. "We can't have any contact with each other, and we can't allow people who give orders around us to be caught, otherwise we can't afford to pay for food and starve all day." Want to starve the mother and son alive.
Externally, he bullied the dead. King Huayang, the second son of Shu Wang, was moved to Fengzhou to seize the throne of Shu Wang, and this vein has remained in Fengzhou. And Fengzhou is very close to Jingzhou. Zhu Guixuan heard that the fruit in Huayang Cemetery is good. Anyway, people are dead and nobody cares, so he specially sent people to rob the dead and make a good cemetery unrecognizable. Queen Huayang naturally didn't want to report it to the emperor, but the emperor was too lazy to take care of it and finally dropped it.
Zhu Zhanji died soon, and his youngest son, Zhu Qizhen, succeeded him to the throne. When there was a new king who succeeded to the throne, Zhu Guidang had a salary increase. This time, a new emperor ascended the throne. He decided to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters again and double his salary.
So Zhu Gui did the same thing again and wrote the application in tears. The content is still the same as before, with low salary and large population. Please ask the emperor for mercy.
Zhu Qizhen was young and ignorant, but Zhang Taihou and his ministers were very angry when they saw this letter. Every time Liao Wang used the new king to fish in troubled waters, the two first emperors could not bear to agree. When will this be the end, if other governors follow suit? In Zhu Qizhen's tone, he issued a will, rejected his request, and rebuked him and his men for saying that your grandfather Zhi Zhu was guilty. Kindness, gave a salary, gave his entourage. You have done your duty as a relative. You must abide by the law. If you don't correct your mistakes, your subordinates will dare to help you make demands. "King Jane has sinned against the court, and Cheng Zu is very kind to him. Injong went to Calo and got 2,000 stones. Xuanzong gave another 300 people to the flag army, and the relatives have arrived. Wang Su is very polite, but government officials don't correct him. Why don't you ask the king? " (Cheng Zu was later changed, and it should be Emperor Taizong at this time)
In the face of the emperor's accusation, Zhu Guidang was very depressed, and his desire for another salary increase fell through. What should I do? No choice, Zhu Guidang had to continue his life of bullying men and women. Once, he saw that the wife of one of his sergeant was very beautiful, and immediately snatched the woman into the palace.
After Judy took the throne, she was very strict with the captaincy. Every vassal king basically has the emperor's eyes, especially the Liao king. Therefore, Zhu Zhi was very careful not to be caught by Fourth Brother. Zhu Guixuan can't see all this. The emperor knew all about his previous behavior, but he was too lazy to take care of it. But this time, he robbed the sergeant's wife, which was something that shook the morale of the army. The emperor had to ignore this, so Zhu Qizhen, who was far away in Beijing, quickly reprimanded him.
Originally, the emperor said that Zhu Guidang only had to admit his mistake, and Zhu Guidang didn't even dare to think about it. What he thought was how the emperor in Beijing would know about it. Could there be a mole around him?
Thinking of this, Zhu Gui Party was very angry. His own man betrayed himself, and his bureau can't let this man go. So after some "investigation", he found that the leader Du Shu was a traitor, so he directly killed Du Shu.
Although Du Shu is an official of the palace, he was appointed by the imperial court and he was responsible to the emperor. Therefore, the emperor was very angry when he learned that Zhu Guidang had killed Changshi, and ordered an investigation into Zhu Guidang.
As a result, this survey shocked the ruling and opposition parties. No one expected that the emperor of Liao, who was far from being known, did so many bad things, plundered, plundered money, forced the people to death and so on. What the emperor couldn't bear most was Zhu Guixuan's incest with his sisters Princess Jiangling and Princess Luxi. This is a great shame, a disgrace to Zhujiajian, and a disgrace to the patriarch Zhu Qizhen. Even Zhu Qizhen was angry and cursed "vicious, vicious and obscene". Confuse human relations and undermine justice. Injured and weathered, humiliating the ancestors. "
Angry Zhu Qizhen ordered his grandfather Xu Magu and Zhu Yuanzhang's little son-in-law Zhao Hui to go to Jingzhou to take Zhu Guitang back to Beijing, and then sent the captaincy to discuss how to deal with Zhu Guitang.
Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, as the patriarch of the imperial clan, said that "there is no forgiveness for his crimes" and he was directly executed. As one of Zhu Yuanzhang's last sons in the imperial clan, Zhu Guidang's seventeenth uncle, he said this, representing the opinions of some imperial clans at that time. Indeed, the behavior of the Zhu Gui Party is so bad that it is a disgrace to the Zhu family. However, Zhu Qizhen thought twice and decided to spare Zhu Gui's life. After all, Zhu Gui was not rebellious all his life, and Zhu Qizhen was a grandson, so it was not appropriate to directly kill Zhu Gui's grandfather. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang had a rule that the captaincy "was reduced to Shu Ren without aggravating the punishment", so he decided to abolish Zhu Guitang's throne, demote him to Shu Ren, and send him to the cemetery in Zhi Zhu to guard his father's grave, and show mercy outside the law. His descendants were exempted from punishment and gave him 1000 Shilumi for the aged. "We have sinned against our ancestors and against God, so it is difficult to serve our country. Follow the instructions of ancestors, cut off the aristocratic status, reduced to Shu Ren. Let you keep the tomb of King Liao Jian, and give Mi Lu a thousand stones and half of the rice notes at the age of one. " As for the throne of Liao, it was given to Zhu Guihuo, the fourth son of Zhi Zhu.
Since then, Zhu Guitang can only make a living by looking at graves. Fortunately, with the mercy of the emperor, life was passable, and eventually he died in obscurity in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy.
Zhu Guidang was only deposed to the throne of the Liao Dynasty, but his descendants were not convicted. His eldest son, Zhu Hao Touxian, was appointed as the assistant general. In the tenth year of Chenghua, according to the old example of Yiyang Wang and Jin Fanyong Wang in Fan Ning, he was named the county king. That is to say, Zhu Guidang's son resumed the title of county king. Although he was not the Liao king, the county king was not bad. The title of county king was Zhu Guidang's original Changyang king.
This Changyang King spread to the Ming Dynasty, but it was not abolished with the abolition of Liao vassals. The last generation of Changyang Wang was Zhu Shugui, who fled to Taiwan Province Province as a farmer because of the chaos in the world. Later, because of the reunification of the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Shugui refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and committed suicide, so this disappeared completely.
