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

"Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, bureaucracies at all levels have been extremely corrupt and corruption has become common. After Zhu Yuanzhang established his Ming Dynasty, this situation still did not change. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty and hated this deeply."

"On the one hand, he advocates integrity, takes the lead in frugality, and requires officials at all levels to abide by the law, be honest and care for the people. On the other hand, he imposes severe penalties on officials who break the law to deter officials from corruption."

"It is a good thing to rectify corrupt officialdom, but it is wrong to go too far."

"Although the "Kongyin Case" and "Guo Huan Case" scared away many potential corrupt behaviors, they also wronged many people, especially the Guo Huan case."

"The Guo Huan case is a case where Guo Huan and others were reported by their real names. However, during the trial, many people were involved, not only high-ranking officials who were in contact with the emperor, but also many common people."

"However, this case was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. The more people were involved in the trial, the more people were involved, so that it became unstoppable."

"The Guo Huan case not only executed many officials, but also killed countless people."

"But many of them were unjust cases, and the people were angry. So, in order to anger the people, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, took advantage of the judges and dealt with some of the people who had tried the case before."

"The four cases cannot be regarded as correct. Zhu Yuanzhang killed too many people. Some people deserved death, and some were beheaded after being implicated at all. It is not without cruelty."

"When we look at history, there are really not many cases where the founding kings massacred heroes. Many people say that Liu Bang massacred heroes, but it was true but not that excessive."

"Liu Bang killed Han Xin because Han Xin was so awesome that no one could suppress him."

"In this case, he had to kill. In addition, Liu Bang killed all princes and kings with different surnames. He was trying to implement the system that no one with the surname Liu could be crowned king."

"Both Xiao He and Zhang Liang survived well. They were important officials who founded the country. Among the military generals, such as Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo, who were not crowned kings, they basically survived. Therefore, we cannot say that Liu Bang slaughtered the heroes indiscriminately."

"Zhu Yuanzhang is different. He is the kind of person who wants to stab everyone he meets."

"Among the civil servants, the deaths of Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Liu Bowen were all related to Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Not to mention military generals, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others were all killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because of their great merit."

"So Zhu Yuanzhang is the only person in history who is truly the best person in the world."

"He has little education and is ruthless. The methods he uses are naturally simple and crude."

"For example, peeling off Lan Yu's skin and giving it to Lan Yu's daughter to keep as a treasure. Is this something a human being would do?"

"Of course, all this is the information provided by Zhang Tingyu in the history books. If someone wants to discredit Lao Zhu, we have nothing to do. Who made his family lose the world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: When did I get skinned? This Zhang Tingyu, you idiot!
Yang Guang: The history of the previous dynasty was written by the people who took over the dynasty. How can they write about your merits?Praising you?Is it Li Shimin?

Li Shimin: I didn’t write random things about you, what I recorded here are all things!
Yang Yong: Who knows?
"Zhu Yuanzhang's mistakes went beyond killing the hero."

"In addition to party prisons, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also engaged in literary prisons." "Ming Taizu came from a poor background. He also became a monk and joined the Red Scarf Army."

"These past experiences are all dark history for Ming Taizu. Therefore, Ming Taizu is always worried that others will expose his dark history or secretly ridicule him."

"So Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, began to find faults in writing. He could kill someone just because of a homophonic word."

"For example, there is a word "ze" in someone's article, and the pronunciation of this word "ze" is somewhat similar to the word "thief".

"In the view of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, this article was a satire on him, insinuating that he had participated in the Red Scarf Army and had been a rebel, so Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang killed this person."

"There are many things like this. Literary prisons have persecuted many literati."

"This is also an indiscriminate killing. Zhu Yuanzhang is too sensitive in this regard."

"The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is very sensitive to words actually stems from his fear of literati."

"As a hero who has gone through troubled times, he has grown from the lowest refugee to the highest emperor. He has seen all kinds of things in the world, and he also knows the reason why he can stand out from the crowd. And how do these intellectuals in the literati group Help him strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away, and he knows it well."

"Therefore, when the literati tried their best to help the Zhu family with suggestions and conquer the empire, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust and reuse of these literati turned into suspicion and rejection, because the literati could help him conquer the empire, and they could also help others to conquer the empire. "

"As a hero who fought from the bottom to become emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang must have known that he had the ability to control the ministers. But after a hundred years, will the children of the Zhu family still be able to command these old ministers who founded the country? This question has become a question in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. pimple."

"So, when Zhu Yuanzhang gradually stabilized the country, the shocking four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty followed one after another."

"As the saying goes, "Treat the other person in his own way." Zhu Yuanzhang hated the pen and ink of literati, so he used words to carry out his "counterattack."

"In the end, almost all the officials in the early Ming Dynasty were killed, and the huge machine of the Ming Empire sailed into the abyss under his will."

""While killing his ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to build his own ideal society. "

"He hoped that the Zhu family's world would be a simple and stable "Great Harmony Society" that could be passed down for generations to come. So while getting rid of the heroes and abolishing the prime ministers to pave the way for future generations, as Taizu, he also began to serve the people of the Ming Dynasty. Planning the rules of life.”

"First, Zhu Yuanzhang deposed the prime minister, allowing the Zhu family to monopolize power. However, although Zhu Yuanzhang, who lost the assistance of the prime minister, had great power, he had to face memorials from the entire country on his own."

"However, he still felt at ease because of this, and even made a ancestral motto: "If anyone in the court dares to mention the appointment of a prime minister again in the future, he will be killed. ""

"However, the energetic Zhu Yuanzhang did not consider the quality and energy of his descendants."

"Take Zhu Di as an example. After he seized power, he felt that there were too many things to do, but he did not dare to violate the precepts of his ancestors, so he had to set up a cabinet to serve as his support group."

"But the cabinet has no real power. The power is still in the hands of the emperor. The promulgation of all regulations requires the emperor's consent. This means that the emperor's quality will determine the current situation and future of the country."
