In the ancient Dynasties of China, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had a very miserable life. This is because the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang came from a poor background and hated corrupt officials the most in his life. When he was a child, he was poor and suffered from corrupt officials. Therefore, after taking power, a series of cruel laws were set up, which were specially used to rectify the greedy atmosphere of the officialdom.
At the same time, the salaries set by Zhu Yuanzhang for his officials were also very meager, and it was not enough to support his family. With empty money bags on one side and the emperor's high-pressure ruling policy on the other, it was not an easy task to become an official in the Ming Dynasty. And Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials, and Qing officials did not get any benefits under him. A Qing official named Zeng Bingzheng, because he was too clean and honest, finally greatly offended Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was arrested and made a eunuch in the palace.
Zeng Bingzheng was originally just an obscure local petty official. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he happened to see an article by Zeng Bingzheng and praised his talent, so he promoted his official with a holy decree. Zeng Bingzheng was thus able to enter Beijing as an official and became a close subject of Tianzi. Although Zeng Bingzheng was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, he had a high IQ and low emotional intelligence, and he had a full belly, but he was very unkind. Zeng Bingzheng was promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang and vowed to be an orphan minister.
He was very unaccustomed to the atmosphere of the officials and officials in the official field, so he never interacted with other colleagues, usually acted according to the law, and absolutely did not open the back door for anyone. Zeng Bingzheng offended many people because of this, but after Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it, he praised Zeng Bingzheng, saying that he was a good official with good ability. However, Zeng Bingzheng was not only ruthless in front of his colleagues, even in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he spoke straight.
Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes made mistakes in his speech, and Zeng Bingzheng directly pointed out Zhu Yuanzhang's mistakes in front of many ministers, and did not leave him any face. Over time, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually became dissatisfied with Zeng Bingzheng. At that time, Zeng Bingzheng was already in a high position among the three key members, but he still did not have any progress in his actions. Later, Zeng Bingzheng once again accused Zhu Yuanzhang in front of the ministers, and Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't bear it, so he directly removed Zeng Bingzheng from his post and sent him back to his hometown to retire.
Zeng Bingzheng had offended many people in normal times, and naturally no one was willing to speak for him at this time. Zeng Bingzheng had no choice but to obey the holy will, pack his bags, and take the family to prepare to return to his hometown. But at this time, Zeng Bingzheng found that his own Feng Lu had already spent seven or seven eight eight, and he couldn't even get out of the coils that returned to his hometown. It was really helpless, Zeng Bingzheng could only sell his daughter who had just turned 4 years old to a trafficker, which was only in exchange for a little travel fee.
But I didn't expect that the money was raised, but Zeng Bingzheng did not succeed in the end. After Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this matter, he was furious. He thought that he had given Zeng Bingzheng enough to retire him. But he openly sold his daughter to raise money for the road, which was obviously to make things bigger.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zeng Bingzheng's move was to humiliate himself, as if he had treated his courtiers so harshly. So Zhu Yuanzhang issued another holy decree, he reprimanded Zeng Bingzheng for selling women as a shameless act and unworthy of being a father. So he sentenced Zeng Bingzheng to prison and took him into the palace as a eunuch. Since then, there has been no record of Zeng Bingzheng in the history books.
