Yongle prince exiled to Beijing
1381
Hongwu sent his fourth son Zhu Di to govern the former Yuan capital as Prince of Yan. The posting was meant to be both an honor and a containment. Two decades later Zhu Di would march south and take the throne by force, moving the capital back to Beijing as Yongle emperor.
