We can see from the historical data that many emperors went out on tour, today we will talk about Zhu Yuanzhang pretending to be a beggar to ask for food, the impression of future generations on Zhu Yuanzhang is more polarized, some people think that Zhu Yuanzhang is an ungrateful person, after ascending the throne, he gave death to the founding heroes who followed him, but some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang is a Ming Jun, at least sincerely for the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang's life is quite legendary, no background, no family, from the poor people, step by step to lay down his own world, so how can he not be cautious and cherish it? Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a chaotic world, the family is very poor, the family often can not eat, one spring caught up with the plague, Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and brothers have died one after another, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang and the second brother to live together. Not long after, the two brothers were also separated, so Zhu Yuanzhang had been alone since he was a child, his suspicions were very serious, and he was very cautious in doing anything.
In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang begged everywhere, cultivated the character of being able to endure hardships in difficult circumstances, and at the same time experienced the sufferings of the people, all of which came from the inaction of corrupt officials, so that the people could not eat enough to wear and warm. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was a direct victim, which made him hate corrupt officials and profiteers all his life. In 1936, Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Ming Dynasty's rule, single-handedly created the Ming Dynasty regime, reached the peak of his life, and began to carry out reforms in all aspects.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow disloyal and unjust people to exist in the imperial court, so under his rectification, those who embezzled more than sixty taels of silver would be directly sentenced to death, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation. Facts have proved that Zhu Yuanzhang has done a very good job in this regard, and this period is the period when corrupt officials and officials are the least corrupt. Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that he could get close to the people, and during his 31-year reign, about 100,000 corrupt officials were executed, which was a shocking number.
In the 19th year of Hongwu, there was an unprecedented drought in Huainan, the people could hardly eat or drink, Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken after learning the news, and immediately opened a warehouse to release grain to save the people and the water and fire. However, after a period of time, the situation of the great drought did not improve much, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very confused, so he had a plan and planned to personally go to the people to check it out. In order not to scare the snake, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to hide his identity, micro-service private visits to the people, pretending to be a beggar.
Zhu Yuanzhang once had the experience of begging for food, so it was handy to pretend to be a beggar. Zhu Yuanzhang disguised himself as a beggar and mixed into the crowd, and began to understand why the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain still did not play a role in the disaster. He didn't know this, and when he asked, he was shocked, and the grain and silver money for the original disaster relief, after going down layer by layer, really reached very few people here, and they had long been plundered by the officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the refugees in front of him and saw his mother holding the child who was about to starve to death, and suddenly became angry, and after Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the imperial court, he immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and the people involved must be dealt with severely. Zhu Yuanzhang even went directly to various levels of office to understand step by step what the officials of the imperial court were doing.
After half a month of investigation, there were 61 people who embezzled and accepted bribes, five of whom were important ministers in the DPRK, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry in his heart, and the people he trusted were so, so he directly ordered the execution of 5 Yipin ministers, and all the remaining suspected of this matter were distributed to the frontier and could never return to the DPRK. I have to say that these people are also moving the soil at the age of too old, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang is also from a poor family, hating such things the most, and so boldly moving the money of the housemen, responding to that sentence, the evil fruits planted by themselves, and finally can only taste themselves.
