Not registering Zhu Changluo as the crown prince means that Zhu Yijun will not be able to get rid of the suspicion of deposing the elder and establishing the younger.

Since Zhu Yijun cannot clear himself of suspicion, the civil servant group represented by Wang Xijue, the chief minister of the cabinet, can use their ultimate nirvana: Zhu Yuanzhang's family law of "with direct descendants, without direct descendants", and

The rule of Wen and Jing in the Han Dynasty benefited from the early establishment of the crown prince, and the shortest life span of the kings in the late Tang Dynasty was due to the failure to establish the crown prince early.

After the civil service group used its ultimate move, Zhu Yijun was indeed put into a very passive situation, forcing him to adopt the last resort of delaying.

However, Zhu Yijun is not a wise and foolish person like his father. He is smart and has inherited some of his grandfather Jiajing's temper from generation to generation. He will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Therefore, in order to weaken the power of the civil service group and the masterminds behind it, Zhu Yijun

Two measures were taken: not filling the vacant officials and dispatching mine supervisors and tax envoys.

However, the civil servant group and the masterminds behind it did not compromise with Zhu Yijun because of this. Since your emperor has no official to fill, the civil servant group will make its own decisions when dealing with government affairs that do not involve military affairs.

Since your emperor has sent out mine supervisors and tax envoys, the masterminds behind the civil service group have organized massive anti-mine supervisors and tax envoys campaigns time and time again on the pretext of "competing with the people for profit", and even directly incited the people to engage in many "

Riots against mining tax.

In the end, Zhu Yijun was helpless and was forced to appoint Zhu Changluo as the crown prince in the 29th year of Wanli. At this point, the nature of the national dispute at this stage became clear.

On the surface, the various efforts of the civil service group are just to get Zhu Yijun to appoint Zhu Changluo as the crown prince as soon as possible, but its deeper meaning is actually that the civil service group and the black hands behind it want to use Zhu Yuanzhang's family law and the rise and fall of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The old events can constrain and limit the imperial power, and then achieve the purpose of the emperor ruling by doing nothing, while the civil servant group and its behind-the-scenes masterminds take charge.

At the same time, in order to prevent himself from being forced to rule by inaction, Zhu Yijun could not find a more high-sounding reason to resist, so he could only resist by not filling the missing officials and sending out mine supervisors and tax envoys.

After Zhu Changluo was appointed as the crown prince, the struggle over the country did not end. In order to retaliate against the civil service group and the masterminds behind it, Zhu Yijun did not stop filling the vacancies and recalled the mine supervisors and tax envoys. Moreover, in order to wait for the opportunity, he

It also broke the convention that the vassal king had to go to the fiefdom to join the vassal when he came of age, and allowed Zhu Changxun, who had been named Prince Fu, to stay in the capital as usual.

Finally, in the forty-second year of Wanli, with the inexplicable assassination of Crown Prince Zhu Changluo, the war over the country finally came to an end. Because Zhu Yijun did not take any new measures in this last stage.

, so the essence of this stage is Zhu Yijun’s final struggle.

If you understand the above principles, you can understand Zhu Yijun's pretense of stupidity at this time.

Essentially, from the perspective of the entire civil service group, they don't really care much about who Zhu Yijun appoints as prince. Who he appoints as prince only affects the interests of individual factions - because the Xin School supports Zhu Changluo and the Practical School supports Zhu Chang.

Hao ma.

As for why the Xin School insists on supporting Zhu Changluo, it is because of what happened before, which caused the "sunk costs" of the Xin School to be too high. This has been said before.

In short, although the civil service group has its own ideas about who to establish, the essence of the "national dispute" has never been about who to establish or not, but to let the emperor know one thing: imperial power is limited, and Confucianism cannot be violated

!

And now? The emperor wants to play dumb.
