Why did Judy dare not resist Zhu Yuanzhang?

Why did Li Shimin dare to resist Tang gaozu and Judy when he didn't dare to resist Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time?

Through the overall understanding of the ancient history of China, there are always some people who like to compare and analyze the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Because in the eyes of many people, there are many similarities between the famous prosperous Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. For example, both the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty announced the succession of the eldest son, and finally the second son was robbed of the "great unification".

However, although it is a similar incident of robbing the throne, it is very different to study it carefully. Although the "Zhenguan Rule" created by Li Shimin and the "Yongle Period" created by Judy are both peaceful and prosperous times in history that can make people live and work in peace and contentment. However, Li Shimin won the throne while her father was alive, and Judy didn't dare to ascend the throne until her father died.

The famous "Xuanwu Gate Incident" shows the history of Emperor Taizong's Li Shimin forcing his father to ascend to the throne. But Judy waited until his father Zhu Yuanzhang died before she dared to lead the troops to revolt and gain status from his nephew Zhu Yunwen. This means that Li Shimin dared to resist Ethan, but Judy dared not resist Zhu Yuanzhang. What's the difference between these two people? What is Judy afraid of?

0 1 Judy is afraid of traditional ethics

In the ancient history of China, the Li family, which successfully established the Tang Dynasty, actually had a part of Xianbei descent. The Zhu family that founded the Ming Dynasty were all Han Chinese. That is to say, Li Shimin and Judy are different from the traditional ethics accepted since childhood.

Different traditional ethics have different behavior patterns. Li Shimin, who is of Xianbei descent, thinks that the ability is the key to determine the position from an early age. However, Judy, who was deeply influenced by the orthodox ethics of the Han nationality, was taught to strictly abide by ethics.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, thought that right and wrong was a very important matter, even having nothing to do with the identity of the right and wrong person. This can be well proved by Emperor Taizong's reuse of Wei Zhi. That is to say, Li Shimin thinks that as long as he is right, he can completely correct his father. I even think that as long as I can manage the world well, I can completely replace my father and become an emperor.

However, in his mind, Ming abides by the principle of "taking the father as the key link". Even if the father says something wrong or does something wrong, as a son, he can only choose to listen. As a traditional Han Chinese, it is impossible to disobey his father's instructions, let alone to disobey his father or even make a mess.

Therefore, Judy didn't dare to rebel against her father like Li Shimin, because Judy was afraid of violating the traditional morality he had accepted since childhood. For Judy, violating traditional ethics is tantamount to giving up the faith he has always adhered to. This is a situation that Judy will never tolerate. Not only that, Judy is also afraid of being criticized by future generations.

Judy is afraid of being criticized by the world.

There are differences in folk culture between Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, folk customs were quite civilized. Even this civilization began in the Sui Dynasty. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the stage when ethnic minorities took power and oppressed the Han nationality. At that time. Sinicization was greatly oppressed and even destroyed, so the traditional Chinese culture was highly respected in the Ming Dynasty.

People in the Tang Dynasty paid great attention to the level of personal ability. The sentence "Heroes don't ask the source" was well reflected in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Li Yuanba, for example, can become "the first hero of Wagangzhai" at a young age. Heroes who are very mature in age, generation and even family background are willing to be inferior. On the other hand, it was despised by people in the Tang Dynasty, who were inferior to others and pretended to be big.

It is precisely because of this reason that Li Shimin succeeded in usurping the throne and was not criticized by later generations. After all, in terms of political and military capabilities, both Tang Dynasty and Li are inferior. This matter has been circulating among the people for a long time, and some even think that the Li family's Jiangshan was defeated by the new army.

Unlike people in the Tang Dynasty, people in the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to rigid principles and ethics emphasized in Chinese culture. In Han culture, there is a strict hierarchy. For example, in ancient Han women, we must strictly follow the principle of "obeying the father at home, marrying the husband, and obeying the husband's death." The same is true of ancient men, who need to "obey their father at home and not disobey, even if it is bad."

In other words, for people in Amin dynasty, filial piety is often more important than right and wrong. Therefore, if Judy rebelled when her father Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he would be laughed at and criticized by all the people in the world. At that time, even if Judy rebelled successfully and became emperor, I'm afraid it would be unpopular and it would be difficult to keep the position of emperor.

Judy is afraid of weak forces.

In fact, not only rebellious success will be criticized by the world, but even success itself is a very difficult thing. You know, the Ming emperor Judy didn't dare to resist her father Zhu Yuanzhang, because Judy's strength was far less than her father Zhu Yuanzhang's.

Zhu Yuanzhang can start from one person, accumulate over time, and lay a solid foundation for Daming Mountain. Naturally, his strength should not be underestimated. As the second son of the Zhu family, Judy was raised and protected by her father. No matter in military action or political strategy, he has no strength to compete with his father.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was immersed in bitter days since he was a child, and his personality was very hateful as an adult. Zhu Yuanzhang, who became emperor, was even more drastic. After his wife died, he used the "Hu case" to kill almost no one in court. Zhu Yuanzhang's fearlessness and decisive battle made Judy daunting.

Judy is worried that the road will change.

In addition to strength, the distance from the palace is different. Before the Li Shimin Uprising, Emperor Taizong was awarded the title of "King of Qin" and lived in Qin Gong. That is to say, it is quite convenient for Li Shimin to want to enter the palace for rebellion.

Ming Taizu Judy was sent to a place thousands of miles away to defend the border during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor. If Judy wants to lead troops to revolt, he needs to travel all the way back to Beijing from other places. As we all know, the way of marching in ancient China was very simple, and there was no such developed machinery as today. Take Wan Li Road, and it will take a month at the earliest.

The so-called "big sleep", let alone a month. If even a little word of the rebellion gets out, the probability of the failure of the rebellion will greatly increase. Once the rebellion fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. After all, Judy knew what a cruel emperor his father Zhu Yuanzhang was.

In addition, the long journey will also hurt the bodies of soldiers, and the combat capability of military forces will naturally be greatly reduced. Therefore, the reason why Judy didn't dare to resist Zhu Yuanzhang was because she was too far away and was afraid of changes.

05 abstract:

Unlike Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, who dared to resist Tang Taizu Li Yuan, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, dared not resist his father, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu. After all, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion, Judy is afraid of traditional ethics, the criticism of the world, the lack of strength and the change of Lu Yao.
