History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"Facts have also proved that Li Shanchang was of great help to Zhu Yuanzhang."

"He is Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank. And Li Shanchang also helped Zhu Yuanzhang a lot in selecting talents."

"Because Zhu Yuanzhang's power was gradually growing at that time, many people took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang. It was Li Shanchang who gave Zhu Yuanzhang advice on who could be used and who could not be used."

"It was with the help of civil servants and generals such as Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun, etc. that Zhu Yuanzhang not only defeated the rivals of the rebel army such as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, but also sent troops northward to capture Burgikin with Dayuan. The Yuan Dynasty forces headed by Tuohuan Timur were expelled from the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang finally replaced the Yuan Dynasty established by Genghis Khan Temujin and his grandson Kublai Khan, thus opening up our country's ancient dynasty and a new era of replacement."

"But Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty. There are no external enemies. What about the internal enemies?"

"At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was gradually entering his old age, had to raise his butcher's knife to deal with those proud heroes!"

Qin Shi Huang: Is this?Another emperor who killed heroes?
Liu Bang: Are you waiting here?I asked why Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question before?It was definitely the elderly Zhu Yuanzhang who asked, is this still the case?

Li Shanchang:? ? ?Is there still me?

Xu Da: Is it because of the problem of "higher merit than master"?Was I killed?
Feng Sheng: There is a bad warning!

Yang Guang: This is really about appointing talented people with outstanding abilities!hehe!No, I'm still afraid of falling off!

"This is Zhu Yuanzhang's fault. It was also because he killed too many heroes that some people called Zhu Yuanzhang a tyrant."

"There were two major cases in the Ming Dynasty, which caused Zhu Yuanzhang to almost massacre all the heroes. One was the "Hu Weiyong Case" and the other was the "Lanyu Case."

"When I ranked Zhu Yuanzhang fourth, I did not admit his fault. Those people who were killed could only deserve it."

"Why don't some people in the Ming Dynasty recognize Zhu Yuanzhang? In fact, everyone hears about some things and cannot see the depth."

"Zhu Yuanzhang is actually very enlightened, and these heroes have indeed made great contributions. But after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, these arrogant soldiers did everything they could. Instead, relying on their own merits, they acted wantonly, trampled on the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and even oppressed the people. This is one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang had to raise the butcher's knife."

"Another point is similar to Liu Bang. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was about to die. He was afraid that after his death, these meritorious veterans would make trouble and the emperor who succeeded him would not be able to control it, so this evil man Zhu Yuanzhang was suitable."

"This butcher knife must be raised. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was a talented emperor, but he also had his ruthlessness and helplessness!"

"It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it."

"In addition to the enfeoffment system, Zhu Yuanzhang used the examples of Han Xin and Peng Yue in the Western Han Dynasty to warn the founding heroes not to be too arrogant, but he was not at ease with the heroes after all."

"So, Zhu Yuanzhang first took action against Prime Minister Hu Weiyong. After killing Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to launch a large-scale party prison, killing Li Shanchang, Lu Zhongheng and others, and implicated more than 3 people."

Li Zhi: Enfeoffment system?Why does this happen again? The example of this big man is right there. Why is there still a system of enfeoffment!

Wu Zetian: I do have doubts, why can a dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty continue to enfeoff the system even though there are living examples there?
"Not only do you have questions, I also have them. When I learned about this period of history, I also had big question marks in my head. I think Zhu Yuanzhang might have lost his mind on this matter!" "You said that you, the founding emperor, didn't know about the Han Dynasty? The history of the Dynasty and Jin Dynasty?”

"Even if you may be illiterate, haven't the great scholars around you, such as Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang, ever taught you about these contents?"

"During the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang divided the princes and kings into feudal states, and the descendants of the old Liu family each had their own fiefs. But after a few decades, the situation changed subtly. The princes and kings were a little too powerful, and they gradually became able to compete with the imperial court. ”

"Under such circumstances, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty planned to cut down the vassals, which resulted in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion."

"Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of money to resolve this disaster, but he failed to solve the problems of the princes and kings."

"If it hadn't been for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's favor order later, the territory of the Western Han Dynasty might not have been enough to seal at all."

"The same goes for the Western Jin Dynasty. The Sima family divided so many princes and kings. As a result, after the stupid emperor Sima Zhong came to power, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out and the world was in chaos, which led to the situation of the Five Husbands disrupting China."

"Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye to these bloody examples."

"Perhaps he was too confident. He felt that the descendants of his old Zhu family were different from those useless fools, so he still divided the princes and kings. As a result, his fourth son, King Yan Zhu Di, rebelled and destroyed his grandson Zhu Yunwen's family. The imperial court.”

"Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty killed a group of heroes, which led to Empress Lu's chaos. No one was willing to speak out for the old Liu family. This is quite chilling."

"In addition, the founding emperor rarely killed heroes, so Zhu Yuanzhang made a bad start by killing heroes, making people unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the old Zhu family."

"This also indirectly led to the situation where Zhu Yunwen had no capable people to appoint and lost the world. In fact, it was already doomed from the time Zhu Yuanzhang killed the hero."

"This Hu Weiyong case has already begun to formulate a plan. It is also a wrong policy that abolished the prime minister system."

"To be honest, the prime minister, as the head of the government, plays a very important role in coordinating the relationship between the monarch and ministers, and in handling world affairs. China has such a long history, and basically all dynasties have had prime ministers."

"But Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system in order to monopolize power, which is obviously unreasonable."

"Moreover, he later realized that it was really impossible without a prime minister. The emperor had to personally deal with every trivial matter. He was really exhausted. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer. He established a cabinet system. In fact, it was a disguised form of driving. If this is the case with the function of prime minister, why did you need to abolish it in the first place?"

"Hu Weiyong was the prime minister at the time, so this case may involve some rights issues. Maybe he is not an ordinary unjust case."

"It can be said that it was not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to become emperor. After becoming emperor, his suspicion became very clear."

"Zhu Yuanzhang has always been uneasy about the power of the country, especially the excessive power of the prime minister. Zhu Yuanzhang also reduced it many times."

"But the prime minister is still inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. It can be said that the existence of the prime minister has always been a potential threat to Zhu Yuanzhang himself."
