After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent all his sons except the prince to all parts of the country as prisoners in order to prevent the fighting between his sons. In the early days, this practice can really ensure the harmony between princes and princes. But after a long time, the power of the captaincy is still growing quietly. 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son died unfortunately and was succeeded by his grandson Zhu Yunwen.
After Zhu Yunwen inherited the unification, he first pointed the finger at Judy. He deployed a large number of troops near the capital and moved Judy to the border area. Judy also felt his hostility towards herself, so he decided to strike first. 1399, Judy uprising. In 1402, Judy and his army had breached the capital.
However, it is puzzling that although Judy ascended the throne, she never saw the shadow of Jianwen Emperor. Some people say that Emperor Wen Jian thought his death was coming, so he set himself on fire in the palace. However, this statement obviously has logical loopholes, and it comes from Judy and his advisers, which naturally means explaining Judy's usurpation.
Others said that when Wen Jian discovered that Judy had breached the palace, she fled overseas with the help of others. This statement is not groundless. Later, some historians pointed out through textual research and investigation that Zheng He's voyage to the West in the Ming Dynasty had a hidden purpose besides enhancing national prestige and strengthening foreign political ties, and that was to find the missing emperor Wen Jian.
In addition to these two speculations, some people say that Emperor Wen Jian escaped from the palace by creating the illusion of self-immolation, and then escaped into an empty door. However, there is not enough evidence to support this statement. It was not until 2008 that a tomb of Amin monk was discovered in Ningde City, Fujian Province that people were excited again.
People associate the owner of the mausoleum with the missing emperor Wen Jian because two treasures were found in the mausoleum. One is the stupa, which is exactly the same as the stupa found in the tomb of Fengyang, Anhui Province. You know, in the Ming Dynasty, only the royal family was qualified to make such a stupa. Not only that, but also a brocade cassock appeared in the tomb.
The robe is embroidered with the shape of a golden dragon, which is exactly the same as the dragon embroidered on the clothes of the Ming emperor. These two treasures undoubtedly prove that the owner of the tomb is by no means an idle person. But was he the unknown emperor Wen Jian of that era? In order to be conservative, archaeologists also conducted a week-long systematic study and investigation of this ancient tomb.
But the result was somewhat disappointing. The owner of Jinbei Tomb is not the missing Jianwen Emperor. The owner of the cassock and stupa was a monk named Cang Haizhu, who was in the transitional period from the end of Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of Ming Dynasty. As for where the Emperor Wen Jian went in those days and how he found the treasure with the same shape as the royal funerary wares in the tomb of the sea pearl, no one can get the answer so far.
