Why did Judy choose Zhu Gaochi?
As Emperor Yongle, Judy has always been decisive in military and political affairs. However, one thing bothered him for a long time, which made Judy make up her mind for a long time. This matter is: Who will be the next emperor?

Under normal circumstances, this problem has long been solved, because the prince has always been the only candidate, that is, Zhu Gaochi, and has never changed. Supposedly, with the prince, the prince will become the next emperor, but not the people around Judy. The prince's position in Zhu Gaochi has been unstable for a long time, and he may be replaced at any time.

The reason is the same as many cases in history. When the father is eccentric, he doesn't like the boss and likes the little one, such as Liu Bang, Yuan Shao and others in history.

Supposedly, with Judy's personality, he just doesn't like change. There are too many questions. But Judy can be a great emperor for a reason. He knows that the choice of the throne is not determined by personal preference, and the most suitable one must be chosen.

Although he doesn't like it, he prefers Zhu. After all, Zhu, like him, is proficient in military affairs and is also good at marching and fighting. Eldest brother Zhu Gaochi is a fat man with poor health. He has to be helped when he walks, which is even worse. What does Judy think of Zhu Gaochi and how does he feel uncomfortable? He thinks he is as clever as SHEN WOO. How can the heir be so fat?

Zhu Gaochi and Judy have different personalities. Zhu Gaochi treats people very kindly, even generously, and everyone he meets is very happy. If he is grounded, he will "scold three times and don't fart", which makes Judy even more disgusted with Zhu Gaochi.

However, Zhu Gaochi was the eldest son, and the rule in the Ming Dynasty was to set up a long office. Now Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son and the prince, and the ministers in the DPRK, especially the civil servants, firmly support Zhu Gaochi. Besides, Judy and Zhu Yuanzhang are both figures who can fight, so it is too difficult for ministers to work under these two men. Now Zhu Gaochi is obviously a generous king, so it certainly must be supported.

What's more, Judy fought in the name of "clearing the monarch's side and calming the country's disaster". The banner she played was that his traitor blinded him and changed many of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies. Now Judy's rebellion is successful, so in order to maintain his orthodoxy, he must abide by the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, one of which is to be upright and hold his head high, so it is difficult for Judy to make up her mind to replace Zhu Gaochi.

Moreover, there are too many lessons in history. King Wuling of Zhao was far away, and finally his father and son killed each other. Yuan Shao and Liu Biao in the Three Kingdoms period were all abandoned in a big mess, and even the hard-won foundation was gone. Besides, Judy's position on the throne itself is not correct. If we waste time and make a mistake, it will not be in our own interest to make another mistake.

More importantly, despite his shortcomings, Zhu Gaochi is a real master of internal affairs. If nothing else, in the "Battle of Jingnan", Judy was able to fight at the front line with confidence because Zhu Gaochi managed the internal affairs and supplies in an orderly way. Otherwise, you won't see that place in Peiping for three years.

For Judy, the foreign enemy has been defeated by herself and her father, and there is no power to threaten the Ming Dynasty for the time being. For a unified dynasty, it is not necessary for an emperor to fight, but whether he can govern the country well and stably is the most important thing. In this respect, there are too many differences between Zhu and He. In addition, Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji is also a model of a wise monarch. If the throne is handed over to Zhu Gaochi, at least the smooth handover of the last two generations can be guaranteed, and Judy really likes Zhu Zhanji, a close grandson. Zhu does not have this condition. Although Zhu Neng is at war, what is needed to govern the country is not to fight, but to coordinate domestic affairs normally. Besides, Zhu doesn't have a son like that.

Since ancient times, the smooth handover of the throne has been something that emperors must consider. It is too easy to cause unrest, because it is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty at that time. In the face of national interests, Judy's personal preferences must also regress.

Finally, Judy gave up the plan of easy storage. Later, Judy died of illness in the army, and Zhu Gaochi officially became emperor on1September 7, 424. History will tell Judy that he was right to choose Zhu Gaochi, and it was Zhu Gaochi who initiated "benevolent government". Zhu Gaochi did not live up to Judy's expectations.
