"So in the final analysis, it's for your grandson, for an unwarranted life. Don't you think this is too selfish and too narrow-minded?" Zhang Yanxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's comments and frowned. She couldn't agree with it. It's like now It's the same as those families that favor sons over friends. As long as the son can carry on the family line, the exhausting work of being a parent will be fine.

Wei Zheng: As far as the literary prison incident is concerned, Ming Taizu was indeed narrow-minded.

Zhu Di: Look at the mistakes my father made one after another. Which one was not for his grandson?
Liu Bang: Just like when I died, I couldn't let go of those people. How can I tolerate a little mistake after finally conquering the country?

"The information I have here is a passage I found in the "Da Ming Calendar", a later book. I don't know if it really exists."

"There is a record in this book that when the day of burial came, the eunuchs prepared an extremely sumptuous banquet for them in the harem, but maybe these innocent women were not in the mood to enjoy it."

"After the meal time was over, the eunuchs took them to the hall they had chosen long ago."

"The chairs have been arranged here in advance. Just waiting for the innocent victims to stand on them and stick their heads into the hanging white silk, the eunuchs will remove the chairs and the mission will be successfully completed, and those women will soon be fragrant. Xiaoyu is dead."

"There were a total of 61 women buried with them at that time. Nine women survived for a while because they resisted too fiercely, but in the end they were strangled to death by the eunuch using white silk."

"There was a woman who couldn't stop breathing, so the eunuchs had no choice but to pour mercury into her, which finally ended the tragedy."

"These women had no choice but to give up their innocent lives because of Zhu Yuanzhang's selfish desires, but even if they were buried, their status was very low."

"These innocent women were not even allowed to be buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum where Ming Taizu was located. Instead, they could only be buried in simple tombs built in advance in the surrounding areas."

"Just like their fate in life, this arrangement is so that they can still serve Zhu Yuanzhang well in that world."

"I think Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that after his death, these concubines would be unable to control him and mess up the harem. Fundamentally speaking, this is just an excuse."

"These women will never leave the palace for the rest of their lives. Considering the strict guards in the palace and the fact that most of the men are eunuchs, the success rate of these women messing up the harem is not as good as saying that Sima Zhong can unify it?"

Sima Zhong:...

Sima Yi: This unworthy descendant, now that he is invisible and has no name, he often hears ridicule from people around him, which is very annoying!
Liu Bei: Is this Sima Yi not dead yet?Thief Cao, aren't you good enough to let others live incognito?

Cao Cao: It’s not my side. I just wiped out their Sima family.

Wu Zetian: Stop it. This is a "robber" mentality. It is just an excuse to satisfy their own selfish desires. Are they living because they are afraid of wasting your Ming Dynasty's food?

Xiaozhuang: More than that?After the burial system ended, Zhu Yunwen also pretended to be a wise king and promoted the family members of these innocent victims to honorary titles in recognition of their sacrifices. It was as if the people were not forced to die by them, but voluntarily died for their love. It was really Extremely shameless!
Qianlong: Our "God of War" has done a good thing.

Zhu Qizhen: ...

"Haha! Indeed, you deserve to be praised!" Zhu Qizhen still knew that he had come out to claim the title.

"After Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne, although he did not make any achievements in civil affairs and martial arts, the changes to the civil fortress made him a joke." "But for those innocent women who will be buried, he is indeed better than those in history. Any wise king must be a wise king.”

"Because he fought against all opinions and abolished the "martyrdom system". This was the greatest kindness in Zhu Qizhen's life and his greatest achievement."

"In general, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to transform from a poor beggar into a king through his continuous efforts. His IQ and EQ are definitely world-class."

"The ability in the early stage is also outstanding, but in the later stage it is a bit outrageous. Judging from these results, Zhu Yuanzhang in the later stage is definitely a "selfish ghost"!"

"In ancient times when there were no measures, if rich people had enough money to marry enough wives, how many children could they have?"

"Kangxi gave birth to more than 70 children, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to more than 40. So the reproductive ability of the rich and powerful Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants is worse than that of Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of hardships since he was a child. He wanted to create a forever happy environment for his descendants. Zhu Biao accompanied him to conquer the country. Aiwu and Wu, coupled with the death of his own son, doted on this emperor's grandson even more. He couldn't see anyone else. With your son's ability, you still fear that he will become a threat? Isn't this alienating!"

"In order to ensure that the legacy of Lao Zhu's family lasts for generations to come, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly changed from a "god of murder" to a "selfish ghost" after he secured his position."

"You see, after killing 10,000+ ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang was still uneasy and established a special agent organization called Jin Yiwei to monitor his ministers at all times."

"A son will be blessed with children and grandchildren. If he is confused for the sake of his children and grandchildren, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks too much about his children and grandchildren."

"There is also the salary aspect. As long as they are their descendants, everyone will have a title and salary, and their salary is several times that of officials."

"By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the finances of Henan and Shanxi were no longer enough to support the vassal kings of their provinces, and local princes like Prince Fu were even more wealthy than the rest of the country."

"Zhu Yuanzhang's design not only harmed his descendants, but also harmed the Ming Dynasty. A large part of the financial crisis in the late Ming Dynasty came from the descendants of Zhu."

"My family's salary has been high. You said it's okay for ministers not to have an increase, but it actually went down. As far as I'm concerned, who would work with a boss who often deducts wages? Are you treating people like fools?"

"Whether it was the sea ban, the imperial guards, the support of the Ming Dynasty royal family, the salary of killing heroes and frivolous officials, Zhu Yuanzhang had only one purpose, and that was to make everyone work for his old Zhu family, and he, Zhu Yuanzhang, did not want to give this group of money Officials receive benefits and high wages.”

"If you were officials of the Ming Dynasty and you worked for a stingy and strict boss like Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn't you scold him in your heart?"

Liu Bang: Tsk, tsk, tsk!It's me, and I have to take a beating if I have a boss like this.

Cheng Yaojin: I, old Cheng, can't control his bad temper. It's possible that someone with a good temper can get away with just a few curses in secret. Like me, you should wait for a sack later!

Wei Zifu: That’s it!No matter how much you pay me, I will do as much work for you. You are said to be a hero, so why do you still pay less?It's really quite chilling.
