Presumably, Zhu Yuanzhang's name is something that everyone has heard of, soaring from the grassroots all the way to the emperor, and is a full-fledged figure.
One day he was going to go to the chancellor's house for a drink, but he was stopped by a eunuch, who supposedly had no reason to stop the emperor's way and kill him. But this eunuch had nothing to do, but the chancellor was raided, why was this?
Let's first talk about this Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.
To tell the truth, this Hu Weiyong is indeed, very mediocre. Why? After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became emperor, he unceremoniously began to unload and kill donkeys, and a large number of people who followed him to fight in the country fell. And what is surprising is that Hu Weiyong survived, not only survived, but also became the prime minister.
On the one hand, he and Zhu Yuanzhang were fellow countrymen, and Zhu Yuanzhang was psychologically better to him in this regard. In addition, as mentioned above, he was too peaceful and did not pose any decent threat to Zhu Yuanzhang. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also used Hu Weiyong to borrow a knife to kill people and took down Liu Bowen.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew the weight of his prime minister, but Hu Weiyong himself did not know it, and after becoming prime minister, he began to use his rights and wrists to exclude dissidents and intersperse his cronies everywhere. Corruption and bribery are enough, and sometimes they intercept the folds, and after reading it themselves, they don't give It to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew these things, but turned a blind eye to Hu Weiyong and did not speak, so he simply did so.
But think about it, what a cruel person Zhu Yuanzhang is, can he indulge his ministers to cross the line at will? This is necessarily impossible.
Hu Weiyong felt that God was unconscious, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger. In May of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong once said to the emperor: "There is a vision in the family of the courtiers today, and a spring has appeared, specially producing fine wine, and I hope that Your Majesty will have time to take a look." ”
This is something that everyone can hear is fake, right? As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not question it, but happily agreed.
Is Hu Weiyong inviting Zhu Yuanzhang to play? That must not be ah, there must be something.
But the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang was still excited to sit in a palanquin and prepare to leave.
Not long after going out, a small eunuch broke out and stopped Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's bodyguards also thought they were assassins, and when they went up, they punched and kicked the eunuch to death. If the Assassin had been an Assassin he could have escaped, but the little eunuch was still standing still there.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and found that things were not so simple.
So he brought the eunuch over and asked what was going on. Because he was almost beaten, he couldn't speak, so he desperately raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Hu Weiyong's family.
The emperor realized that there was a situation, so he climbed the tower of Xihua Gate and found that Hu Weiyong's home was under black pressure, and Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Hu Weiyong was going to rebel. So he ordered someone to arrest Hu Weiyong and raid his home. Incidentally, the system of prime ministers was abolished, and the imperial power was further expanded.
