Zhu Yuanzhang, as a founding emperor who walked from the bottom of society to the dragon chair, he was definitely a successful person, and the reason why he could succeed was largely due to his employment.
At the beginning of his business, because of the needs of the situation, he was "not afraid of meat" in the employment of people, but after he became the emperor, he began to play the "imperial heart technique" to the ministers.
Zhu Yuanzhang's "Imperial Heart Technique" can be mainly divided into three categories:
Heroes and heroes, continuous beating and pressing
Since ancient times, few of the founding emperors have been able to treat their "dragon ministers" kindly, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself is no exception.
So why did the founding emperor "unload and kill donkeys"?
There are two main reasons for this:
First, these heroes and generals are often very familiar with the emperor himself, and even some of them are friends who grew up together, and they can be said to be familiar with the situation of the emperor himself. Therefore, some of them, when they fought hard together with the emperor himself in the early days of the "revolution", only regarded the emperor as their leading big brother, and thought that everyone was generally considered to be "equal".
However, after the establishment of the new country, the leading big brother suddenly became a "father", you lived with me when you were a child, you were scared to call your mother when you fought, you were afraid when you faced pressure, you could become the emperor but lucky, since you can, then why can't I...
Once your thinking cannot be changed, you will show it in your daily life, and his majesty the great emperor does not want face, are you laughing at me in such a performance, or do you want to challenge my authority...
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang killed Blue Jade is largely because Blue Jade did not clip his tail, if you are as low-key as Tang He, you may not be able to end well.
Second, although the meritorious general did not finally become the emperor, but the people also came out of the sea of blood and corpses, the merits of the people may be greater than your emperor himself, when the people come step by step, they cultivate in addition to how many comrades who lick the blood with a knife, people want prestige and prestige, they want connections, and I can kneel to the emperor of the world together, but your descendants, I may not be.
If you comb through Zhu Yuanzhang's killing timeline, you will find that before the death of his son Zhu Biao, although his hands were not soft, he was still relatively restrained, but when Zhu Biao died, when he was ready to pass the seat to his grandson, his temperament "suddenly changed greatly", and many meritorious generals were killed by him, that is, those who were not killed by him were basically suppressed to varying degrees.
What he did at this time was no longer to "kill chickens and scare monkeys" to remind everyone to abide by the rules, but to pull out thorns for his grandson and pave the way to the dragon chair.
Traitors and villains, kill when they run out
Historically, only emperors with real brains would directly slaughter ministers, and clever emperors often "borrowed knives to kill people", and Zhu Yuanzhang obviously belonged to the latter.
In 1373, a person who had been unknown in the early days of Zhu Yuanzhang's business suddenly became the head of the hundred officials of Daming.
This man's name is Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong and Zhu Yuanzhang are half fellow villagers, but the one who really has the "grace of knowing" him is his fellow countryman Li Shanchang.
Judging from the records of the "History of Ming", it is not too late for Hu Weiyong to join the revolution, but because of his ability to "command the army to win a hundred victories", he is not even worthy of giving Xu Dati shoes, and the skill of "strategizing" cannot be compared with Liu Bowen's "divine machine army division", and his ability to "full of soldiers and enough food" is not as good as his compatriot Li Shanchang, so he was an "invisible man" at that time.
So how did he "come out of nowhere"?
It turned out that after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he thought that Li Shanchang's education was not high, and he was a wild roadman, so he wanted to replace him (Zhu Yuanzhang's real purpose should be to suppress the old minister). At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang selected three people and consulted Liu Bowen's opinion, and Liu Bowen saw that they were three "new people" and gave them all no. (Liu Bowen was also stupid at this time, the leader let you choose, you dared to give it all no)
Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang "extensively solicited democratic opinions", he let half of his compatriots become ministers, and after Hu Weiyong stepped into the clouds, he fully played the role of a "good knife", Liu Bowen died directly because of him, and even Xu Da was almost framed by him. Because Hu Weiyong was doing things in the right direction, he was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Under zhu yuanzhang's "connivance," Hu Weiyong began to slowly expand, and when his power was at its peak, he even dared to have some undeserved thoughts, and as a result, zhu Yuanzhang saw that the night pot was full, and immediately concocted the "Hu Weiyong case" that shocked future generations, and took the opportunity to abolish the system of prime ministers.
Junior newcomers, slowly promoted
If Zhu Yuanzhang only blindly creates killing, then he is a powerful emperor, then he is a tyrant through and through, so where can we see that he is not blindly pursuing killing?
During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he persuaded two of the world's cattle people to return home.
The first person was named Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru was born in a family of eunuchs, and his father was implicated because of the "empty seal case", so he was inconvenient to enter the army, but he was very talented in learning, and became a proud protégé of Song Lian, a big coffee in Shilin, because of Song Lian's jianghu status and Fang Xiaoru's own talent, so he later became a big banner of Shilin.
In order to make this flag fly better, Shilin sent him to Zhu Yuanzhang through connections, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very optimistic about him, but Fang Xiaoru's proposition was contrary to what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to do at that time, so after Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a reputation, he persuaded him to return home, planning to leave it for his grandson.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was a tyrant, he would not allow a "seed of a reader" who disagreed with him to continue to take root and sprout, he might have directly cut the grass and removed the roots, but he did not.
Zhu Yuanzhang's second person to persuade him to retreat was Xie Jin, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty. Xie Jin was talented in his early years and was also a bully when he grew up, but the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang personally dissuaded Xie Jin was actually because of Xie Jin's father. Xie Jin's father did not enter the court as an official, but he was a high-ranking person in the people, so Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to him and often brought him to the palace for academic exchanges.
Because of the relationship played by Xie Jin's father, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Xie Jin differently, and even said things like "morally we are monarchs, and emotionally we are father and son." However, although Xie Jin was later ranked as one of the three talents of the Ming Dynasty, his political quality was actually very general.
Xie Jin had written to his "cheap father" many times, saying that it was not right for your old man's family, and after Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed by him, he did not cut him with a knife, but only persuaded him to return home, hoping that he could return the fire and then continue to serve the imperial court.
Later, these two people, one became a confidant of Emperor Jianwen, and the other established Zhu Di's cabinet chief assistant.
brief summary
From the above content, we can see that although Zhu Yuanzhang was not born high, and said that the empress dowager had vainly killed the ring, this did not affect his completion of his own work, and we can clearly see from his employment that Zhu Yuanzhang's "imperial art" was already pure fire. His employment routine is not only useful for emperors in ancient times, but also for today's workplace.
