What is the basic determination of the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen?
For more than 600 years, there have been constant disputes among historians about the whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen. Some said he burned himself to death in his palace, while others said he escaped. However, each theory lacked physical evidence until Ningde, Fujian. A Ming Dynasty cassock appeared in the market, and it became possible to solve the mystery of Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts. A precious cassock has been preserved in Zhiti Temple in Ningde City for a long time. There are 9 golden dragons embroidered on both sides of the upper edge of the cassock, and there are another 5 golden dragons in the middle of the cassock. It just fits the meaning of the Nine-Five Lord. Most monks dare not The dragon is embroidered on the cassock, let alone embroidered in this way. Therefore, the identity of the person who once wore this cassock is not simple.
In addition, there is a well-known ancient tomb in Shangjinbei Village in Ningde City. The villagers said that this tomb belonged to a eunuch from the capital. However, cultural relics experts from Ningde City went to investigate and discovered that This ancient tomb can be said to contain the universe.
According to ancient Feng Shui principles, the orientation of this tomb is true north and true south, which is the specification of the emperor’s imperial mausoleum. Moreover, the fire dragon beads and shut-up dragon patterns on the ancient tomb were not only for the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, No one dared to use it without permission, and there was no era name left on the tombstone, probably because they were unwilling to use the era name at that time.
Therefore, many experts speculate that when Zhu Di broke into the Forbidden Palace, Zhu Yunwen took away his grandfather's dragon-patterned cassock when he fled in a hurry, then moved to Ningde City to live in seclusion, and after his death, he was buried in Feng Shui Jue. The best one is Shangjinbei Village. Note:
Some people also pointed out that the death of Emperor Jianwen by self-immolation is a historical fact, because at that time the Yan army came to the city and surrounded the Forbidden Palace. It was too late for Emperor Jianwen to escape, not to mention that after examination, there was no ghost. The door and Yugou escape route.
Emperor Jianwen also knew that his fourth uncle was a power-hungry, ruthless and ruthless warrior. He would never end well in his hands, so it would be better to die.
Zhu Di, King of Yan, would never let Emperor Jianwen live, otherwise, he would not be able to be emperor. In order not to leave a bad reputation for "killing his nephew to seize the throne", Zhu Di deliberately searched hard for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, leaving a historical mystery. This may be Zhu Di's intention. In summary, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he ordered a search for Emperor Jianwen. This is a historical fact.
But his true intentions and the true whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen are still an unsolved historical mystery. All kinds of word books and dictionaries have no choice but to indicate: "Emperor Jianwen did not know where he ended up." Although Zhu Di claimed to have found Emperor Jianwen's body in the palace and held a funeral for him, Zhu Di did not dare to take the rumors that Jianwen was alive lightly.
