Prince Zhu Gaoxi (Chinese: 朱高爔; 18 January 1392[b] – 1392) was a prince of the Ming dynasty. He was born on 18 January 1392 as the fourth son of the Yongle Emperor,[1][2] who was then Prince of Yan, and died within a month of birth. After the Yongle Emperor ascended the throne, he was not given any peerage.[2]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ In the Ming dynasty's official history, the Ming Veritable Records, and many other Ming dynasty history books, as well as the Qing dynasty's History of Ming, there is no record of Zhu Gaoxi's biological mother. However, in the Book of Ming written by Fu Weilin (傅維麟) during the Qing dynasty, Zhu Gaoxi's biological mother is recorded as Consort Hui.
  2. ^ According to Wang Shizhen's Alternative series of Yanshan Hall (弇山堂別集), Zhu Gaoxi was born in the 24th year of Hongwu (1391).
