Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, before the unification of the Central Plains, he was only a grass dweller, and even begged for food, and became a monk, but later he relied on his extraordinary wisdom to seize the throne in the chaotic world, and the whole world belonged to him alone, but he still maintained the quality of hard struggle, and the "four dishes and one soup" he invented can be described as the most simple Chinese New Year's Eve meal in the imperial palace. Next, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

"Heroes from a chaotic world", the founding emperors of each dynasty, have unified the country and mountains with their own abilities in the chaotic world. Their origins vary greatly, some are former courtiers, some are descendants of emperors, and some are from poor backgrounds. For example, before the Western Han Dynasty's founding emperor Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Rebellion, he was only a Surabaya pavilion chief; Liu Xuande, the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms shu Han Han Zhaolie, also woven mats and sold shoes.
But if you want to talk about the founding emperor who was born the poorest, it is zhu Yuanzhang. He was not only from a poor family, but also entered the temple in order to survive, but it was this "son of the cold door" who led the army to unify Jiangnan, established daming, and even conquered the Northern Yuan before and after the eight conquests, completely overthrowing the reign of the Yuan Dynasty and opening up a new dynasty.
In the first year of Hongwu, that is, in 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang was called emperor in Yingtianfu, which is today's Nanjing, and the name of the country was "Daming", and at the end of the year, the city of Nanjing was a lively scene of lights, and the group of courtiers was invited to the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang for dinner in the "Great Chinese New Year's Eve", and everyone thought that this time they would inevitably be able to taste the taste of mountains and treasures, jade plate delicacies, and jade dew qiong pulp.
Everyone came to the palace with great joy and took their seats according to the level of their positions, at this time Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Golden Palace, he waved a big hand, the maids in the palace began to serve, and everyone looked at the dishes that came up, they were all dumbfounded, did not know what to say, and looked embarrassed one by one. Only to see that each person put five dishes on the table, that is, the earliest "four dishes and one soup" in history, namely stir-fried radish shreds, fried leeks, fried cabbage, fried greens and green onion tofu soup, these four dishes and a soup, not even a meat fishy, not to mention what mountain treasures and seafood, everyone you look at me, I look at you, all expressed puzzlement, the scene is very embarrassing.
Empress Ma stood up, walked over to Zhu Yuanzhang's ear and whispered, "Concubines know that the emperor loves simplicity, but on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, these five dishes are inevitably too simple, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang listened to this, stood up with a big laugh, cleared his throat, and said: "I know that Aifei is for the appetite of everyone, as well as to take care of the court's noodles, but my five dishes also have their own exquisiteness, 'turnips on the table, pharmacy no sale', 'leeks are green and green, stable to the hearts of the people', 'two plates of green vegetables are as fragrant, two sleeves of fresh wind is good', 'small onions and tofu are green and white, just and clean as the moon'. ”
Then he paused again, and righteously said: "I know that all of you are poor people, and now everyone is developed, but you must not forget the roots, you must know that the people, when you can eat this kind of 'feast' in the New Year, it is considered a gourmet dish, and you must not forget the book!" Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang also set a rule, when the Chinese Wu Baiguan invited guests to the table, the specifications should not exceed today's four dishes and one soup.
Since then, "four dishes and one soup" has spread from the palace to the people, and Zhu Yuanzhang has also become a famous and honest emperor in history, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is not only a good hand at "fighting the Jiangshan", but also doing a good job in "guarding the Jiangshan", he is a rare good emperor.
