Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that among the 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, only Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di were diligent in government affairs and relatively accomplished, while the rest of the emperors were generally absurd and incompetent, and one was more lazy than the other.

After Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he only allowed Buddhism and Taoism to spread, and banned all other religions. This may be related to his experience as a monk.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was very different from his father and became a great Taoist worshiper.

Zhu Di started his rebellion in the north. According to Taoism, the patron saint of the north is Zhenwu Emperor, so it is most appropriate to choose Zhenwu Emperor as his patron saint. So, from the beginning of his rebellion, he took every opportunity to show that he was often assisted by Zhenwu Emperor.

In the three-year-long Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di often used the secret help of Zhenwu Emperor to boost morale, and from time to time he flew flags with the word "Zhenwu" in the army, so that the soldiers of Emperor Jianwen also mistakenly believed that Zhenwu Emperor was helping Emperor Chengzu. This not only motivated his own soldiers, but also created a psychological deterrent for the soldiers of Emperor Jianwen. Zhu Di started his army with 800 people, and he was often able to turn danger into safety in the Jingnan Campaign, and eventually seized the throne.
