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

"At the same time, most of the prime ministers in Zhu Yuanzhang's life were virtuous prime ministers. It can be said that basically no crime of committing crimes can be found. Therefore, chasing the wind and chasing the shadow can be said to be the most important means of reducing power."

"Thirteen years after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, a spring was discovered in Hu Weiyong's home. Due to the influence of the feudal thinking at the time, Hu Weiyong thought this was a good omen and wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to go to his home to check."

"But Hu Weiyong did not expect that his actions would bring him death."

"When Zhu Yuanzhang went to Hu Weiyong's home, the eunuchs around him felt that something was wrong with the situation. Zhu Yuanzhang went up to the city gate to look at Hu Weiyong's home and found a large number of hidden soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and executed Hu Weiyong on the spot that day."

"Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and executed Hu Weiyong, Chen Ning and others that day on charges of perverting the law, falsely accusing virtuous people, and harming politics."

"At the same time, under the pretext of pursuing his friendship, a large number of senior generals, including the first hero of the founding of the Republic of Korea, Lee Sun-chang, were implicated, resulting in the death of more than [-] people. This is known as the Hu Weiyong case in history."

"The truth has always been unclear. Maybe it was Hu Weiyong's conspiracy to commit rebellion, or maybe it was Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberate attempt to reduce the power of the prime minister. Who knows?"

"Why is Li Shanchang involved? Hu Weiyong was actually recommended by Li Shanchang, and Li Shanchang's nephew Li You married Hu Weiyong's daughter, so if Hu Weiyong committed a crime, Li Shanchang would not be able to escape. After all, Li Shanchang was also in Hu Weiyong's house. My subordinates, nine tribes.”

"If Zhu Yuanzhang killed Hu Weiyong to abolish the prime minister system, then killing Li Shanchang was purely to eliminate the heroes."

"The founding hero played a pioneering role in the founding of the country. He was the hero. But after the founding of the country, the hero became the threat. No one will let his threat live."

"But it is not easy to kill a hero, because he has made huge contributions. If you kill him for no reason, what will happen? No one can predict."

"So to kill a hero, you must find a suitable reason. In the Hu Weiyong case, we have no way of knowing that aspect. Only Zhu Yuanzhang himself knows."

"Some people may think that Zhu Yuanzhang is not such a person, but he is a man who conquered the world in civilian clothes. Who can understand him? Even if Hu Weiyong deserves it, why did Li Shanchang kill him?"

"Li Shanchang was killed ten years after the Hu Weiyong case broke out. Why is this case still involved ten years later?"

"I personally think that the reason for killing Li Shanchang may be really difficult to find, just like Yue Fei, it was an unfounded crime."

"Li Shanchang is Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted minister. I wonder if Zhu Yuanzhang has ever been unable to take action."

"Speaking of which, if Li Shanchang had died earlier, the tragedy would not have happened, but Li Shanchang was able to live, and he lived to be 76 years old in one breath."

"Zhu Yuanzhang must not be able to bear it anymore. If he continues to live like this, he may be gone. Li Shanchang is still alive. He is paving the way for his eldest grandson. If I don't kill you, who will I kill?"

"In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to raise his butcher knife and kill all the more than [-] members of Li Shanchang's family."

"And the reason makes people laugh. It is actually related to Hu Weiyong's case ten years ago. The emperor really dared to find any reason for killing people." Yang Guang: Haha!It is indeed quite possible to live. Can you not die? This is a very powerful reason!
Qin Shihuang: Longevity is indeed a problem. This problem is really a common problem among emperors. It is the same for everyone. They kill the heroes.

Yongzheng: In fact, Li Shanchang deserves to die, and Hu Weiyong deserves it even more. You, Li Shanchang, are the hero who recommended your fellow countryman and in-law Hu Weiyong to be the right prime minister.

Later, he was promoted to Prime Minister Zuo and served as prime minister for 7 years. During his tenure, he planted cronies all over the country and spared no effort to attack dissidents, which made the Huaixi clique's power continue to expand.

You should know what Liu Bowen is like, right?He once assisted Zhu Yuanzhang and made great contributions, but due to conflicts with the Huaixi clique, he was never reused.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was granted the title of meritorious official, while Liu Bowen was only granted the title of Uncle Chengyi, with an annual salary of only 240 shi.

Li Shanchang, on the other hand, was granted the title of Duke of Korea, with an annual salary of 4000 dan.

The next year, he retired and returned to his hometown. Because he told Zhu Yuanzhang that Hu Weiyong was not suitable for prime ministership, he hated him and was directly fired and stripped of his salary.

Moreover, in the eighth year of Hongwu, Liu Bowen fell ill, and Hu Weiyong sent a doctor to visit him. However, Liu Bowen died shortly after taking the medicine. Whether it was a cure or a fatality, you know it in your heart. Being the prime minister is very ambitious. , Li Shanchang didn’t ask any questions, shouldn’t he die?With such a big political issue, how could Zhu Yuanzhang let you live for the sake of succession.

Kangxi: Haha!thorough!Is it that such a big rat eats your food every day without beating it to death and you still keep it?
Shangguan Wan'er: Isn't this just a mouse?I'll steal from your house. If you can't catch me, I'll steal again next time, haha!

Cao Cao: What metaphors are you talking about?But you're right. If you don't restrain yourself, can you still live?

"Emperor Yongzheng's point of view is also correct. In fact, the crux of the Hu case is that he is too arbitrary. He often handles many major cases such as life and death without asking Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions. This naturally makes the extremely power-hungry person Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply aware of the crisis of the prime minister's exclusive power and the fall of imperial power."

"After getting rid of Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the left and right prime ministers, abolished Zhongshu Province, and organized six departments to manage the matter. His son Zhu Di appointed another palace scholar as an adviser to the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang ended the prime minister system and strengthened the autocratic imperial power."

"However, the Hu Weiyong case has involved so many people and is not over yet. The other murder of a hero, the "Blue Jade Case," can be said to be even more involved. This is the one who killed the hero on the bright side."

"As many as 15000 heroes were implicated in the "Lanye Case", and the indirect victims are even more difficult to count. Even the generals Fu Youde and Feng Sheng, whom Zhu Yuanzhang originally trusted, were also implicated."

"There were too many cases of killing heroes in the Ming Dynasty. Not only the generals, but also the civil servants were almost wiped out by Zhu Yuanzhang. I will continue to talk about the "Blue Jade Case"!"

Li Shimin: Did I hear it wrong and read an extra digit? Why are there so many?
Meng Yi: Is this a purge of all the ministers?
Liu Bang: You can’t say this about me anymore. I really can’t compare to this person.

"Zhu Yuanzhang found many reasons to kill Lan Yu, saying that Lan Yu was rebellious. This reason was a bit of an unfounded accusation."

"Lanyu has adopted many adopted sons, and these adopted sons serve in various important responsibilities in the Lanyu Army. But the key is that they only listen to Lanyu alone, not the emperor."
