Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a humble background, he was poor in childhood and made a living by herding cattle, and later entered the Huangjue Temple as a monk, and traveled in all directions. Coinciding with the turmoil, Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely joined Guo Zixing's rebel army to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty.
In the 24 years since then, Zhu Yuanzhang first eliminated the major forces that were divided and proclaimed himself the King of Wu. Subsequently, with the call of "expelling Hu Yu and restoring China", He sent Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to raise troops to the Northern Expedition to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty.'
Zhu Yuanzhang's northern expedition to his emperor's residence in Yingtianfu lasted only 1 year, and at the beginning of the new year, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the name of the country to Daming and the era name to Hongwu Nian.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who killed and decided to rule the country with an iron fist, and created countless major court cases, each of which involved a wide range of shocks to the government and the opposition.
Zhu Yuanzhang's crown prince Zhu Biao had a gentle personality, and in his later years, in order to give the prince an easy to govern court, he wantonly slaughtered the founding heroes, so that he left a brutal impression on future generations. Zhu Yuanzhang created countless major cases of the government and the opposition in his lifetime, and the most eye-catching of them was none other than the "Hu Weiyong case."
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang murdered hu Weiyong, the chancellor, in the name of plotting misdeeds, and slaughtered the three tribes and his relatives and friends, and more than 15,000 people were involved in the case.
Subsequently, he used the case to build up several prisons, so that the "Hu Weiyong case" was constantly implicated and expanded, and even 10 years after the case, the meritorious master Li Zhi and others were also given death for having dealings with Hu Weiyong, and more than seventy adults in their families were killed.
There were also some courtiers who had not yet been involved in the case too deeply, and the whole family was relegated to a remote area, and the total number of princes and nobles before and after this case was a total of 30,000 people, and the data was shocking.
After Zhu Yuanzhang killed Hu Weiyong, he announced the abolition of Zhongshu Province and the establishment of a no longer a chancellor, and Hu Weiyong became the last Zhongshu provincial chancellor.
Hu Weiyong was the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, he was invested in zhu Yuanzhang's account when he was not called emperor, and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong official Yun Hengtong, only 6 years to worship the official, ranking first among the hundred officials.
Hu Weiyong has been a minister for 7 years, he knows very well that Bo Zhu Yuanzhang is happy, and with his talents, Hu Weiyong's position of power is not comparable to that of ordinary officials.
The position above ten thousand people under one person has been sitting for a long time, and it is only one step away from the highest position, perhaps because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang has become jealous of him.
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong claimed that a large number of liquan springs were gushing out of his well, and then he invited Zhu Yuanzhang to him to see the auspicious omen.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the xiangrui elephant appeared in the family of Xiangxiang and gladly went, who knew that just as he walked to the Xihua Gate, a eunuch named Yun Qi suddenly rushed to the emperor's carriage and horse, and tightly pulled on the reins to prevent him from continuing to move forward.
The guards took the eunuch down and put it down together, but the eunuch still pointed in the direction of Hu Weiyong's house and refused to retreat, Zhu Yuanzhang felt bad and immediately climbed the city wall to look out.
From a high place, he looked at the soldiers hidden in the wall of Hu Weiyong's home, and the swords and guns were lined up, as if a circle was set up waiting for who to "enter the urn".
Immediately after that, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that Hu Weiyong's entire family be beheaded, and this major case that lasted for more than 10 years in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty also began.
Most of the later records of Hu Weiyong are derived from the literature records of the Ming Dynasty, and many people believe that Hu Weiyong has a disobedient heart, which is considered to be self-inflicted. Some people also questioned this, four days before Hu Weiyong invited Zhu Yuanzhang to his home, someone accused him of plotting rebellion, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious character, how could he gladly go to the banquet? From this point of view, yunqi's beautiful talk of stopping the car and saving the car is purely fabricated.
In addition, there are many contradictions in the records of the Hu Weiyong case in the Ming Dynasty historical records, at that time, there was no evidence for some people to suspect whether Hu Weiyong rebelled, and from Zhu Yuanzhang's imprisonment several times through this matter, it can also be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was playing on the topic in order to promote the centralized system, and it is very likely that the crime he gave to Hu Weiyong was a false reason.
From a macroscopic historical point of view, the monarchy and the xiangquan at that time had begun to contradict each other, and the Hu Weiyong case was a trigger for the emperor to depose the xiang system, in order to completely deprive the xiangquan and further strengthen the monarchy.
The impact of the Hu Weiyong case on history is of great significance, and since then there has been no chancellor in history, and the absolute monarchy has further deepened. Some contemporary historians have drawn on historical materials for in-depth analysis and finally concluded that Hu Weiyong's case was an unjust case from beginning to end.
Of course, whether the Hu Weiyong case is an unjust case has not yet been officially verified by authority, the matter has passed hundreds of years, and many details have been annihilated in the torrent of history.
