There is such a grassroots emperor in history, from a poor peasant family's hairy boy, after years of hard work, transformed into an emperor, this person is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no doubt that his life can be described as both legendary and very inspiring, and he is also conscientious in governing the Ming Dynasty, laying the foundation for the development of the future Ming Dynasty.
It is a generation of Ming Jun, but Zhu Yuanzhang also has his shortcomings, that is, too much attention to the throne, and love to kill, there was a strange thing that happened to him, it is said that once Zhu Yuanzhang was full of praise after eating an old woman's tofu soup, but after turning around and leaving, he ordered to kill her immediately, so why did Zhu Yuanzhang do this? What kind of story is this?
Zhu Yuanzhang's early years were turbulent and displaced
Zhu Yuanzhang, whose original name was Zhu Chongba, was born in a poor peasant family at that time, and lived a life of insufficient food and warm clothing since he was a child, and since he was a child, he also herded cattle for the landlord's family to earn some living expenses and subsidize the family, even so it was difficult to alleviate the plight of the family's life, because at that time, the corrupt rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the local government carried out heavy oppression and exploitation of the people, which led to Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and brothers and sisters being starved to death.
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang also had to leave his hometown to seek a way to make a living, but since he was a child, he naturally could not hold any official position, and he did not have any skills, so it was difficult to gain a foothold in the society at that time, so that later Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a problem, and he had no choice but to choose to become a monk, so I could only reluctantly let Zhu Yuanzhang eat a full meal with this method.
But what he did not expect was that in his few years as a monk, the world was in chaos, and it was catching up with the drought, and the unpeace of the world made it difficult for the temple to maintain, many monks had to go down the mountain to change their fate, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the monk who came in with fish in muddy waters, was ruthlessly driven out of the temple by the abbot at that time, which made him completely become a beggar on the street, who could have imagined that in the future, the Ming Emperor who was once high in the sky was actually begging for rice flowers from others at that time.
In the early years, such a turbulent and miserable life made Zhu Yuanzhang see the darkness and decay under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and let him hate the rulers of the dynasty, so he also silently made an ambition in his heart, he must change his fate and change this chaotic society, but at this time, he only had a warm blood in the end, and there was no place to show his ability, but then the appearance of a person changed Zhu Yuanzhang's fate, and changed the fate of the world.
Friends Tang He invited him to join the rebel army
This person is Zhu Yuanzhang's former good friend Tang He, Tang He heard that Zhu Yuanzhang has fallen to the street to ask for food, his heart is full of resentment against the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, so it is better to pull his good brother into the rebel army and fight with him to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, after receiving a letter from his friend Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to join it, after all, in such an army at least can fill the stomach, not to wander the streets.
After joining Guo Zixing's rebel army, Zhu Yuanzhang made extraordinary achievements in the army by virtue of his bravery and good fighting ability, which made Guo Zixing pay special attention to him, and constantly promoted him to make him a general in the army, and even later simply appointed Zhu Yuanzhang as a righteous son and married his adopted daughter to him, this adopted daughter was the woman Empress Ma, who later Zhu Yuanzhang loved all his life.
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang was a complete salted fish turnover, which was also the biggest turning point in his life, and later after The death of Guo Zixing, he officially took over the rebel army as a righteous son, and with the help of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other generals, he continued to develop and grow the army, and at the same time recruited talents and recruited talents, found Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, such a rare strategist, with the help of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youyu two powerful rebels, and finally realized his wish to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, on the basis of which the Ming Dynasty was established.
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he did not treat those brothers who were born and died with him, nor did he give preferential treatment to the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, but also brutally killed these people, to say why he did this, the reason is that the early experience made Zhu Yuanzhang ascend to the throne that the emperor suffered from loss and loss, he was afraid that these soldiers under his command would seek power and usurp the throne, after all, the merits of these people are not under him Zhu Yuanzhang, but on the mind and wisdom, Even if there were ten of his advisers, he could not match one of them.
Such a situation also inevitably made Zhu Yuanzhang suspicious of the people around him, and his personality became more and more suspicious, coupled with the perennial conquest and slaughter, which made him extremely fond of killing, so there was also the famous Hu Weiyong blood case in history, the Blue Jade Blood Case, and some other large and small events, these people were executed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the name of rebellion, and even Liu Bowen, who wholeheartedly assisted him, was also brutally killed by him with poisoned wine, in short, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had been blinded by power. All I had in mind was how to maintain the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
Will Grace avenge the old woman who once rescued him?
In the process of Zhu Yuanzhang's conquest of the world, it must not be smooth sailing, victory and defeat are common affairs of soldiers, so eating defeat is also a common thing for Zhu Yuanzhang, and once after his great defeat, he was separated from the army, and on the way to escape, he fainted on the side of the road due to overwork and physical weakness, at this time he happened to pass by a white-haired old woman, and saw a young man who fainted from hunger, and the old woman was also anxious, but the people at that time were very poor, and how could they have grain in their hands to help him.
In desperation, the old woman could only find rotten vegetable leaves and stinky tofu, mixed these two things in the pot and boiled them, and then handed them to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hungry and had Venus in his eyes, at this time, he did not care what ingredients were good or bad, and took up the tofu soup to argue that it was clean, although it was not a soup made of good ingredients, but the taste was exceptionally unique, which made Zhu Yuanzhang remember very deeply.
After drinking this bowl of tofu soup, because there are still important things in his body, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly bid farewell to the old woman who had rescued him, and this farewell went until Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, and when the world was stable, he wanted to look for this mother-in-law who had once rescued him, and under the inquiry of many parties, Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of people to a shop selling tofu soup, and walked to the store Where the two people looked at each other and recognized each other.
Zhu Yuanzhang came here, not to ask for anything else, one is to repay the kindness of the past, the other is to taste the unique tofu soup that he once ate, after hearing such a request, the old woman also hurriedly did not get up, made a good tofu soup, when he drank tofu soup, the old woman told Zhu Yuanzhang on the side, and the people accompanying him one by one about the situation of saving him, and also told zhu Yuanzhang's past that had been lost.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, and the people accompanying him also felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and then Zhu Yuanzhang got up to say goodbye, and did not forget to praise the tofu soup made by the old woman for being delicious, but after turning around and leaving the door, he said to the accompanying guards to kill her immediately, and then not long after, a scream came from the shop, and the old woman was killed inexplicably.
epilogue
To say why Zhu Yuanzhang did this, the main reason is that this old woman really did not care about Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and told everyone the dark past that he once did not want to mention, which undoubtedly damaged his image and dignity as an emperor, even if he once had the grace of salvation for himself.
But in the end, it is difficult to compare the importance of personal interests, through this matter, we also see Zhu Yuanzhang's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness as a ruler, which is really outrageous.
