A school bully who does not take Zhu Yuanzhang in his eyes

Wu Bozong, a native of Xintian, Jinxi (now Dongxiang County, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province) in the early Ming Dynasty, was the first founding leader of the Ming Dynasty, a typical scholar-tyrant intellectual, who looked at the two most representative things he did in his life, "rebuking Hu Weiyong" and "translating and writing books". If we only evaluate these two things, Wu Bozong must be a person who is not attached to power, upright and firm, and has super talents and talents. Well, the conclusion is out, and we can cover the book. It's just that I will look back and think, is such a history alive? Man is complex, man has his personality, and for me, peeling off the surface of history, exploring the details hidden in the depths, and discovering that there is flesh and blood history is what interests me the most.

Wu Bozong's life is not much to take to the big book, but there are one or two things that make me feel confused or even speechless, thinking"I go, what is he thinking?" Due to the lack of historical data, the origin of the matter can not be explained, I can only offensively speculate on the heart of ancient intellectuals from the perspective of a modern social animal, trying to find some rationalized explanation to fill my damn curiosity, pure idleness, if there is a misunderstanding, please do not have to be more true.

Starting from Hu Weiyong, who was the most powerful minister in the early days of Hongwu? Is Li Shanchang, the first founding hero of the people's republic of China? No, it's Hu Weiyong! The two most disobedient things Li Shanchang did were to poison Liu Ji and hu Weiyong plotted against him and did not report it. But he said that in the end he was still a person who lectured on morality, and when Zuo Cheng was in charge of Emperor Zhu, the Ming Dynasty was still a thriving scene.

But what about Hu Weiyong?

From the perspective of power plots, it has to be admitted that Hu Weiyong is a very bullish figure, he is not a founding hero, has no background, but only spent more than twenty years from the most basic county order (county order before the county order was also the county lord Bo) step by step to the top of power. First he climbed Li Shanchang, and then emperor Zhu felt that Hu Weiyong knew his heart better than Liu Ji and Li Shanchang, and was very fond of him, so that he sat in Li Shanchang's position and tilted his power to the opposition. Up to now, he must be the kind of successful person who stands behind the podium and shines, full of inspirational sense of counterattack.

But he was very greedy and ambitious. When he was in charge, he did whatever he wanted, and did what he wanted. Even to the point where as long as there were things unfavorable to him in the chapters of the various gates, he concealed and deceived them. Manchu Wenwu was very careful about what he did, but there were very few people who could expose him from the depths of his soul.

Wu Bozong is one!

What are we doing at this time? He was demoted by Hu Weiyong to Fengyang (凤陽, in present-day Anhui Province).

Wu Bozong successfully won the title for some dramatic reasons (Zhuangyuan originally had another person, but Lao Zhu said that Wu Bozong was handsome), and there were a lot of award certificates, which should have been the starting point of his life peak, but this was one of the two peak moments of his life.

The dazzling light of the first title of the Ming Dynasty, which combines the talents of appearance and talent, certainly attracted the attention of Hu Weiyong. At this time, Hu Weiyong's power was tilted toward the opposition, and the only one who dared to argue with him was Liu Ji. In order to cultivate his henchmen, such an excellent potential stock is of course the object of his key co-optation. Hu Weiyong hinted at Yuanyuan In the open and in the dark

"Come, hurry up and beat me up"

"Don't even think about it, you're so ugly!"

Wu Bozong jinshi and later were awarded by Lao Zhu to participate in the revision of the book, and the intellectuals who wrote the book should have been indisputable from the world, but because they refused to become Hu Weiyong's man, they were relegated to Fengyang.

I'd rather offend the villain than the intellectuals! The revenge of the intellectuals is likely to be the last straw that crushes the camel!

When he arrived in Fengyang, The unwilling Wu Bozong did not idle, and immediately wrote a letter accusing Hu Weiyong of being arbitrary and disrupting the government. The brilliant writing of the Yuanyuan makes this sonata a king fried! After reading the recital, Comrade Zhu was very happy in his heart, and thought that this young man was handsome, and the written recital was also clear and clear, and the words were heartfelt. I was trying to clean up Hu Weiyong, who happened to be a pawn of the union, and he was lucky. Such a person must be promoted. Immediately recalled Wu Bozong to send him on an envoy to Vietnam. Soon after, Hu Weiyong was accused of plotting rebellion against the Nine Tribes.

Wu Bozong did not fail in his mission, and after returning from Vietnam in triumph, he was appointed as a teaching assistant by Comrade Lao Zhu and changed to Hanlin Classics (from Ba pin, equivalent to library director).

(This matter is somewhat puzzling, Wu Bozong was awarded the title of Wai Gao from Wupin after he passed the title, and although he was demoted to Fengyang by Hu Weiyong in the middle of the way, he still had a certain boost to Lao Zhu's removal of Hu Weiyong.) Secondly, the triumphant return of Vietnam was also a great achievement, why did he only give him a librarian (Hanlin classics) from Ba Pin with these two meritorious blessings? The reason is unknown)

Does Wu Bozong have any thoughts about Lao Zhu's arrangement? There are no historical records, but thinking about what happened later, it is possible that Wu Bozong was dissatisfied with Emperor Zhu's arrangement at that time.

The thing is, one day, Emperor Zhu did not know why he was in a very good mood, asked people to call Wu Bozong, the scene came out of 10 questions to let him improvise on the endowment, Zhuangyuan concentrated a little thought, suddenly vibrated the pen disease book, chua! chua！ chua！ Fu Wen immediately jumped into the eyes of Emperor Zhu, the words and sentences written were creative in pattern, and Old Zhu was excited after seeing it (Zongzong yyds), slapping the dragon chair to give him a promotion.

"Love bean literary brilliance, the library director has wronged you, how not to let you go to Taichang Temple to be a temple beggar (Zheng Liupin, the three hands in charge of the sacrifice of the Zongmiao Temple)

"Thanks, I don't do it!"

"Don't like it? How about going to Guozijian as a siye (正六品, equivalent to the vice president of a public university now)?

"You don't go there or that, do you look down on my old Zhu?" Since you are so ignorant of lifting, then go to Jin County and become a professor (from Jiupin)! ”

"Okay!"

This is really a puzzling thing, according to the reason, the errand arranged by the emperor must be done with tears, and it is still a good thing to be promoted to the fifth level in a row. Secondly, even if you don't like his arrangement, you say what you want to do, and Lao Zhu's mood at that time is good to discuss. Why treat Emperor Zhu in such a contradictory way?

There are two possibilities:

The first, it may be that after his return from Vietnam, Emperor Chu only gave a librarian from Ba Pin and was dissatisfied. Thus adopting a passive and contradictory attitude toward Emperor Zhu's arrangement.

Second, it is also possible that Yuanyuan feels that with his talents and learning, he should not be able to enter the Zhongshu Province and the cabinet and at least have a place in the six departments. But old Zhu you are not aware of the goods, only gave some cultural work, a gamble and a stomp with the boss to do.

The real reason is not recorded in the historical records, but in any case, Wu Bozong missed a very good opportunity in his life. Sadly, missing out on opportunities in this way wasn't the last time in his life.

In the winter of the sixteenth year of Hongwu, Wu Bozong was demoted from a scholar of Wuyingdian University (正五品) to a review (from Qipin) due to the influence of his brother Zhu Lian. But Old Comrade Zhu was still worried about him in his heart, and occasionally asked him for advice on some state affairs and political affairs, and our leader came to a wave of confused operations, he said, I am no longer in the position of the Hanlin Academy, and it is difficult for me to answer the things you ask. Wu Bozong's reply deeply hurt Comrade Zhu, and as a result, he was relegated to Yunnan, and on the way to Yunnan, Wu Bozong was violent.

This is another operation that makes me puzzled and speechless, and it is reasonable to say that your brother makes a mistake and you are demoted. After being demoted, Comrade Lao Zhu found some excuses from time to time to ask questions, proving that Old Zhu had a clear mind and knew that Wu Bozong was talented, not a kind of powerful minister or corrupt official, and he never forgot you. If you put your attitude right for yourself and the world, and answer the questions seriously, perhaps Lao Zhu will feel that there are steps down and let you reinstate your official duties. But what about Wu Bozong? Contributed two waves of fan operations at two crucial moments in life
