In the sultry summer of 1402, the grand city of Nanjing, the illustrious capital of the Ming dynasty, found itself under siege not by a foreign invader, but by a figure cloaked in royal betrayal: the emperor’s own uncle, Prince Zhu Di. Sparked by accusations of corruption levied against the young Emperor Jianwen by his influential ministers, Zhu Di ignited the flames of rebellion. Ostensibly aiming to purge the court of its corrupt elements, the prince's true ambition was far more sinister—to usurp the throne and claim power for himself. This bold move set the stage for a dramatic chapter in the annals of imperial China, where family ties clashed with a ruthless quest for supremacy.
