Zhu Shouqian's father, Zhu Wenzheng (), was stripped of his rank and imprisoned on charges of conspiring against Zhu Yuanzhang when Zhu Shouqian was only 4 years old; however, Zhu Yuanzhang personally reassured him, saying: "You have nothing to fear. Your father was unruly and gave me trouble, but I will not punish you for his misdeeds." His name was changed to "Wei" () when Zhu Yuanzhang claimed the title "King of Wu". In 1370, the third year of the Hongwu reign, he was then renamed Shouqian and enfeoffed as the Prince of Jingjiang — the only feudal prince who was not a child of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hongwu Emperor
The Hongwu Emperor (21 October 1328 – 24 June 1398), personal name Zhu Yuanzhang (), courtesy name Guorui (), was the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty of China, reigning from 1368 to 1398. As famine, plagues and peasant revolts increased across China proper in the 14th century, Zhu Yuanzhang rose to command the Red Turban forces that conquered China proper, ending the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty and forcing the remnant Yuan court (known as Northern Yuan in historiography) to retreat to the Mongolian Plateau. Zhu claimed the Mandate of Heaven and established the Ming dynasty at the beginning of 1368 and occupied the Yuan capital, Khanbaliq (present-day Beijing), with his army that same year. Trusting only his family, he made his many sons feudal princes along the northern marches and the Yangtze valley.Chan Hok-lam.Legitimating Usurpation: Historical Revisions under the Ming Yongle Emperor (r. 14021424)".
