Zhu Biao was relatively kind, but not weak. There were three main reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to pass the throne to Zhu Biao.

First, the system of primogeniture.

In ancient times, the system of primogeniture was the most stable and most commonly adopted method of succession to the throne in all dynasties. Zhu Biao was Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son, and legally speaking, he was the recognized crown prince.

Second, his feelings towards the queen.

In his early years, Zhu Yuanzhang was persecuted by Guo Zixing and almost starved to death. It was Empress Ma who sent him food and found ways to rescue him. Only then was he saved. The couple showed their deep love for each other in times of adversity.

Zhu Yuanzhang made Empress Ma's eldest son Zhu Biao the crown prince, which was also a manifestation of his deep affection for Empress Ma.

Third, Zhu Biao is the most suitable heir to the throne.

Among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were the most capable. Zhu Di often went on expeditions with the army. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, it was more appropriate for him to be a general guarding the border.

Although Zhu Biao was kind and not as ruthless as Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also a qualified crown prince. Zhu Yuanzhang devoted all his attention to Zhu Biao and devoted himself to training a successor to the empire.

Zhu Yuanzhang found the best teacher for Zhu Biao - Song Lian, the first civil official of the Ming Dynasty. He often taught Zhu Biao hand in hand and let him practice handling state affairs.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also trusted Zhu Biao very much, and even directly granted him the power to mobilize troops, which was simply incredible in the eyes of other dynasties and other emperors in ancient times.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's dedicated training, Zhu Biao handled state affairs in an orderly manner and had no bad habits. He was a completely qualified candidate for king. Unfortunately, Zhu Biao did not survive Zhu Yuanzhang and died young.
