No one will deny that in ancient times, the emperor was a very deformed existence, they held the imperial power, they could not move to carry out punishment, almost a word, a bad mood can decide the life and death of a minister or a group of people, of course, there are very few emperors who kill people for no reason, but the emperor who abuses his power is really not a small number in history.
Like Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because he particularly hated a surname, the man who had this surname was a slave for generations, and the female was a prostitute for generations.
In other words, why did Zhu Yuanzhang hate this surname so much?
This surname is also a less common surname today , Pu. And all this has to start from a person named Pu Shou Geng, who was a businessman at that time, and Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen Pu Shou Geng, and The year of Pu Shou Geng's birth was in 1205, so what was the origin of the two of them?
Carefully speaking, Pu Shou Geng is not a Chinese, but a Vietnamese, but at that time, Vietnam, still belongs to a part of China's territory, at that time Pu Shou Geng because of the business family, traveled through many countries, but also learned a lot of languages, so in the eyes of friends, Pu Shou Geng is a well-informed person.
With the growth of vision, Pu Shou Geng came to China to develop, when it was the most prosperous moment of the Song Dynasty, Pu Shou Geng, who had business experience, naturally in China is also mixed like a fish, over time, Pu Shou Geng This person earns more and more money, and the result is slowly that some mental skills are not right.
At that time, it was the last year of the Southern Song Dynasty, Pu Shou Geng looked at the dying Song Dynasty, thinking that this great Song Dynasty was no more than this, so he killed innocents indiscriminately, and also went after and killed the ministers and young lords of the Southern Song Dynasty who were on the run.
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was also gradually growing, Pu Shou Geng went to the Yuan Dynasty, and also brought the evidence of his pursuit and killing of the Southern Song Dynasty ministers to the Yuan Dynasty, so Pu Shou Geng was also welcomed by the Yuan Dynasty, living a very rich life without business, until 1290, Pu Shou Geng died, at the age of 85.
But is Pu Shou Geng's story over? Just after Pu Shou Geng's death, the Yuan Dynasty came to Quanzhou, where Pu Shou Geng once did business, and looted all of Pu Shou Geng's family property, and Pu Shou Geng's descendants also died and fled, and did not get the kindness of the Yuan Dynasty.
And Pu Shou Geng's story has no end to this, but how did Zhu Yuanzhang relate to Pu Shou Geng? This brings us to a very obvious personality trait of Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed an emperor who can kill people, but he is also an emperor with a clear distinction between right and wrong.
Just after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang heard about Pu ShouGeng, because in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Pu ShouGeng's traitorous behavior was the most disdainful to him, so he also deliberately found Pu Shougeng's grave, dug out his bones and exposed it to the sun, and also ordered Pu Shougeng's surname, the clan was assigned to the frontier, men were slaves for generations, and women were also prostitutes for generations, which was probably the largest strain in the Ming Dynasty, fortunately, the surname Pu was not much, otherwise there were too many people who suffered and suffered.
I have to say that fortunately, the literary scholar "Pu Songling" was born in the Qing Dynasty, otherwise in the Ming Dynasty, it would really be too much to suffer. And Zhu Yuanzhang's decision on the fate of other people's lives has also been greatly controversial, which can also be regarded as a criticism of feudal society, like the emperor's casual, with his own mood to determine the fate of the people's profession, it is really difficult to say a word.
