In 1392, the emperor's eldest son and crown prince, [[Zhu Biao]], died. The court then discussed who would succeed him, and ultimately, the primogeniture viewpoint, advocated by scholars from the [[Hanlin Academy]] and high officials, prevailed. As a result, Zhu Biao's son, [[Zhu Yunwen]], was appointed as the new successor. Generals Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu (who were related to the successor by blood) were chosen as his tutors and teachers.{{sfnp|Tsai|2002|p=50}} However, due to a recommendation from Zhu Di, the Hongwu Emperor began to suspect the three generals of treason.{{sfnp|Tsai|2002|p=51}}
The Hongwu Emperor, who was deeply affected by the death of his two eldest sons and the strained relations between his remaining sons and the heir, made the decision to revise the rules governing the imperial family for the fourth time.{{sfnp|Tsai|2002|p=52}} The new edition significantly limited the rights of the princes.{{efn-lr|The prince's right to visit his brothers after three or five years was lost.

For example, he did not object to the execution of his generals Nayur Buqa and Alu Temür, who were accused of treason. He also exercised caution in diplomatic relations, such as when he welcomed Korean delegations passing through Beiping, to avoid any indication of disrespect towards the emperor's authority.{{sfnp|Tsai|2002|p=53}}
