The second emperor of Jianwen Emperor Zhu once knocked on the lottery. After he ascended the throne, he took many measures, widely implemented benevolent policies and observed his actions. In all fairness, he is a sacred Lord. First, implement benevolent policies. During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the laws were harsh, especially in the three major cases, hundreds of thousands of people were severely punished and tens of thousands of people were killed or exiled. Zhu Yuanzhang also issued many orders in the form of letters patent, which were extremely strict and above the law. Zhu Yunshan slowly abolished those patents, revised the overly strict provisions in the Daming Law, and * * * produced a lot of unjust, false and wrong cases. Second, tax cuts. During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, heavy taxes were levied on the rich Jiangnan area, because in the war of that year, Jiangsu and Zhejiang people supported Zhang Shicheng. Zhu Yunshan's tax reduction abolished this unreasonable regulation. Third, reuse intellectuals. Zhu Yunshan insisted on running the country with Confucianism, standardized the imperial examination and promoted a large number of intellectuals, especially Fang Xiaoru, Qi Taihe and Huang Zicheng. Fourth, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on reducing vassals. In order to consolidate Lao Zhu's country, he took measures to overthrow the feudal system. The vassal fiefs are vast, and the Mazhuang soldiers are strong. In the era of Wen Jian, the situation was too big to fail, which seriously threatened national security. Zhu Yun bluffed and talked nonsense, and adopted the strategy of reducing the number of vassals, but misused Li Jinglong, and finally failed.
Another view is that Wen Jian's performance in the battle of Jing Nan is average. If he is king for a long time, it may be beneficial to the people, but it will hinder the political development of the Ming Dynasty. In history, his evaluation is that "different people have different opinions", that is, he is kind and weak. However, this statement seems to be contradictory. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Wen Jian banned local governors from attending funerals in Beijing. This is actually unfilial, so whether he can be called "benevolence" still needs to be questioned. But "softness" is true, which led Wen Jian to be indecisive and procrastinating when cutting down the princes, and finally led to the prince's rebellion. And this time his thoughts have been controlled by JiTai and Huang Zicheng. If Jing is difficult, it is really difficult to ensure that these two people will not become powerful ministers.
The replacement of Emperor Jianwen by Cheng Zu was the progress of the Ming Dynasty. It is believed that if Wen Jian succeeded in cutting off the vassals, the wars of Emperor Cheng Zu against the North would not happen in the next few times. And because the prince was cut, no one can stop the Mongolian fighters from going south (as can be seen from the fact that Emperor Wen Jian sent a prince, there was no one who could fight under him), and the Ming Dynasty may soon perish. Later, Cheng Zu moved the capital to Beijing, which was also a very influential historical event, and decided the capital of China in the next few hundred years. After the ancestor's rule, the political structure of China moved north and south, either Beijing or Nanjing, which has never established its capital for more than 50 years.
Culturally speaking, the decision of Yongle ceremony is the achievement of Chengzu. If Wen were alive, he might not do this project for fear of wasting his national strength. Moreover, the political structure of Jianwen Emperor doomed such a cause to be a failure. (Of course, this is also an inference. It is impossible for Wen Jian, who pays attention to the Confucian theory of governing the country, not to do such a career. Although Zheng He's voyages to the West really wasted people and money, it had a far-reaching impact on the world. If Wen Jian were here, this kind of thing would never happen. Of course, when Cheng Zu came to power in the Ming Dynasty, two points were criticized by later generations: the power of eunuchs was developed, which created objective conditions for the palace punishment in the Ming Dynasty. Another thing is killing too many people. If Wen Jian were alive, these two points would never appear. But on the whole, Cheng Zujing's failure did more good than harm to the Ming Dynasty.
