Ming-era city gate in Nanjing
  • July 13 : After defectors opened the gates of Nanjing to the rebellious army of Zhū Di, a fire broke out in the imperial palace, killing Emperor Jianwen and his wife. Years later, rumors persist that the emperor, who may have started the fire himself, escaped disguised as a monk.
  • July 17 : Jianwens uncle Zhū Dì is after a bloody war of succession emperor of China and under the Äranamen Yǒnglè the third ruler of the Ming Dynasty .
  • The Jianwen reign is deleted from the historical records, the missing time simply added to the Hongwu era. First, the new emperor begins a large-scale cleanup. He has all of his nephew's advisors executed along with their families. Large parts of the official staff are also eliminated. The remaining two sons of Jianwen and his three brothers are all executed as potential rivals. Around 20,000 people fell victim to the purges in the capital. After that, Yongle gradually disempowered his male relatives and deprived them of control over their troops as well as financial resources in order to avoid another civil war. Despite the bloody beginning, the reign of Emperor Yongle goes down in Chinese history as a heyday of the empire .
