In the long history of our country, there have been more than 420 emperors, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandfather of the Ming Dynasty, is one of them, who experienced many human sufferings before he ascended the throne, so after he ascended the throne, he has always adhered to the good habit of thrift and thrift, and waiting for people.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang had a very interesting thing happen because of a name, because it was raining heavily, Zhu Yuanzhang had to go to a family to avoid the rain. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the farmer's noble surname, and the farmer's clever answer with high emotional intelligence made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied, and at the same time changed the fate of his life.
Speaking of this, perhaps everyone was impressed by the farmer's high emotional intelligence, and at the same time, they were very curious about what the farmer said to Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, which could change the fate of himself and future generations.
Zhu Yuanzhang built a mausoleum, creating problems
Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty, every emperor has paid great attention to the construction of the mausoleum, and for them, the construction of the mausoleum is an extremely important thing.
The reason why they pay so much attention to the construction of the mausoleum is actually the influence of many factors. The three most important factors are traditional ideas, one's own selfish desires, and the influence of feudal superstitions.
First of all, as far as the traditional concept is concerned, the emperors of all the dynasties in China have attached great importance to the construction of the palace, so when Zhu Yuanzhang came here, he should also pay attention to the construction of the mausoleum, which is a tradition.
Another important factor is that each emperor has his own selfish desires, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor who loves the people and loves his son, is diligent and thrifty, but he will also like to enjoy the glory and wealth, whether before he dies or after he dies.
In fact, the most important factor for the emperors to build mausoleums is the influence of feudal superstition, because in ancient times there has always been such a saying, that is, "the tomb has no head, the poor three generations, the fox guarding the tomb, the rich three generations." ”
Therefore, in ancient times, whether you were a common person or a high-ranking emperor, you could not escape this statement, so the emperor would choose to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build a mausoleum in order for his children and grandchildren to live happily.
After Zhu Yuanzhang had just ascended the throne, he did not rush to build the mausoleum, but only began to build the mausoleum after properly handling all the affairs of the government. In fact, Before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he experienced many tribulations, he not only worked as a monk but also as a beggar, and finally the kung fu paid off, and he embarked on the peak of his life.
It is also these experiences that have allowed him to carry forward the quality of thrift and thrift in his later life. However, for the construction of the mausoleum, he changed the habit of thrift and thrift in the past. During the construction period, he spent a huge amount of money and mobilized 100,000 people, and it took 25 years to successfully build his mausoleum.
In the process of construction, because the environment around the mausoleum was very superior, Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea at this time, that is, to set up a range around the mausoleum and train some Maxima to prepare for future wars.
Shelter from the rain meets the farmer, and the problem is solved
But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang encountered a very serious problem, that is, there was no professional feeding staff to feed these Maxima, because the country's talent shortage at that time, there were many vacancies in the DPRK.
I have to say that this problem makes Zhu Yuanzhang a headache, even if many ministers around him will recommend some people to him to serve in the official position of cultivating Maxima, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not very satisfied. Until a chance, Zhu Yuanzhang met a very suitable candidate.
On that day, no different from usual, Zhu Yuanzhang took the guards around him and dressed in ordinary people's clothes to inspect the people's feelings. Just as they were walking on the country road, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and it began to rain heavily.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang and his party a little helpless, and just when they didn't know what to do, a family came into view, so they rushed to this family, hoping to take them in.
The owner of this family was very kind, and without saying a word, he agreed to the request of Zhu Yuanzhang and his party. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought in his heart: "Just take this opportunity to understand the people's feelings, killing two birds with one stone." ”
Immediately after that, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him what the income of the local people was and what the local people's feelings were, and the owners of the family answered one by one. After hearing this person's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was very happy and felt that it was very useful in his own governance.
In this way, the two happily chatted about homely routines, the atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious, and even when it was time to eat at noon, several people were still talking and laughing at the dinner table.
Unconsciously, the rain passed and the time gradually reached the afternoon. Zhu Yuanzhang also planned to leave here at this time. Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang specifically asked the owner of the family, "What is your name?" ”
Seeing that he hesitated for a moment, he said, "My surname is Dong, and my name is Mao." Only to see Zhu Yuanzhang after hearing this name, he looked at the sky and thought for a while, and then laughed. This made the people around them very surprised, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Immediately afterward, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the owner of this household and said: "It is better that you be my "Sima Ma".
Officialdom continued from generation to generation
It turned out that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang made this ordinary citizen an official in the dprk was mainly due to his name. First of all, when the Dong character is taken apart, it is "grass, thousand, li," and Mao means luxuriant, and these words are combined to mean "there is a thousand miles of grass, very lush".
On such a good day when the rain is over and the sky is sunny, the appearance of a name with such a good meaning is the best gift for Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang made Dong Mao the Sima of Xiaolingwei.
Dong Mao originally thought that sealing officials was already the best thing, but who knows, when Zhu Yuanzhang was crowned an official, he also added two enviable rewards to Dong Mao, first of all, the official position should always be hereditary, and the other is that all the expenses of the Dong family in the future will be borne by the imperial court.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not look away, and the Dong clan had been serving the country for generations, closely following the emperor and serving his loyalty, guarding the Ming Tomb for 167 years.
epilogue
Throughout Dong Mao's life, he was originally an ordinary citizen, but because of zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation, Dong Mao's life was not only improved, but also allowed his descendants to have a better development.
At the same time, we also have to sigh Zhu Yuanzhang's unique vision, it is precisely because of the existence of the Dong Mao family that the Ming Tomb can be protected and the country's political situation has been stabilized. Indeed, whether in the past or in the modern and technologically advanced times, a good name is extremely important to a person, and maybe good luck will really come to us that day.
