In May of the first year of Yongle, the emperor left Beijing.
On that day, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi personally led hundreds of officials out of Xuanwu Gate to see him off.
Since the Queen's Qianqiu Festival Palace Banquet, most of the princes stayed in the Wenhua Palace on the pretext of studying, and could not come unless summoned by the emperor. Since he fainted a few days ago, the imperial doctor said that the prince's heart is depressed, his body is weak, and he needs to rest. The emperor specially ordered his son not to enter the Fengtian Palace to attend court hearings, but to rest and recuperate. This order shocked Xie Jin and others who supported Zhu Gaochi's ascension to the crown prince.
If he is not granted the title of crown prince, he is not even allowed to listen to politics. This does not mean caring about the prince, it is clearly excluding the prince from the court.
In contrast, the king of Gaoyang County was leading troops outside, but his favor was growing day by day.
