Zhu Di’s life was that of a wise and martial emperor. He went to Mobei five times and laid a solid foundation for the stability of the north. Zhu Di also sent Zheng He as ambassador to the West on many occasions to promote Ming’s heavenly prestige abroad. He also moved the capital to Beijing, where the emperor guarded the country, laying the foundation for Beijing’s status. Zhu Di also ordered people to compile the “Yongle Dadian”, creating a generation of prosperity: “Yongle Shengshi”.
Zhu Di’s achievements are enough to place him among the elite emperors in Chinese history. However, Zhu Di’s iron-blooded rule is strikingly similar to that of his father Zhu Yuanzhang. He is brutally bloody and suspicious, and has caused many major cases. When Zhu Di ousted the Emperor of Jianwen, Zhu Yunxi, from power, he decisively purged the former officials of the Emperor of Jianwen and thus consolidated his rule. But in reality he killed three thousand court ladies in two bloodbaths for two women.

One of them is the concubine Quan Xian of North Korea. Zhu Di’s special favor is unique to Zhu Di due to her beautiful appearance. Even Zhu Di took her on the expedition to Mobei, but unfortunately she died on the way home in triumph. Zhu Di was heartbroken. After returning to the palace, he was informed by a court lady that the concubine Quan Xian was killed by the court lady who was accompanying her, Lu, Zhu Di thoroughly investigated the matter. It turned out that Lu was with the concubine Quan Xian. The maidens who entered the palace together, because they were jealous of the concubine Quan’s special favor, held a grudge and secretly poisoned her to death. But Lu’s defense was that she framed herself, and the real person behind the murder of concubine Quan Xian was Jia Lu.
Zhu Di immediately became angry when he heard this. Zhu Di dealt with this situation very simply and decisively. In fact, he executed over 100 court ladies, including Lu and Jia Lu, so his anger was mostly removed. It took a long time for Zhu Di to slowly forget the concubine Quan Xian. It can be seen that Zhu Di, an emperor with extremely cruel ruling methods, also has an infatuated side.
The other is Wang Guifei, who is also a great beauty that is like a fake, but the tragic thing is that Zhu Di, who was relieved from the grief of losing Quan Xianfei, was lost again after being named queen and died of an illness. Concubine Wang’s grief. At this time, Zhu Di was furious and thoroughly investigated the relationship between court lady Yushi and the young eunuch. This investigation revealed that a court lady was going to assassinate the emperor. Zhu Di said nothing and immediately carried out the harem again. The purge, this time a large number of palace ladies killings, is extremely cruel, rare in history.

According to incomplete statistics, there were almost 2,800 court ladies who were punished by gangsters at that time. In addition to the more than 100 court ladies he killed in the early Yongle years, nearly 3,000 court ladies died under Ming Cheng Zu Zhu Di’s butcher knife.
According to Li Chao’s Record, when the palace was tragically assassinated, some palaces were hit by thunder and lightning. The palaces were very happy, thinking that Zhu Di would stop killing for fear of reprisals, but Zhu Di still did the same, in the least “don’t think Quit, slaughter at will, it’s the same old thing.
According to historical records, “Ming Chengzu suffered from illnesses in his later years, easily angered, uncontrollable, and even hysterical. He himself was cruel and easy to kill, and suffered from illnesses in his later years, thus becoming more violent and abnormal. “. This is probably a punishment from heaven for killing him too much.
