When it comes to the emperor who killed the most in ancient times, everyone often thinks of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ming emperor, because during his reign of Hongwu, the four famous hongwu cases in history occurred, not including the late north-south list case. These four major cases can be divided into two political cases, that is, specially purging political opponents to kill heroes, such as the Hu Weiyong case of Hongwu in the thirteenth year, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had such a big case, the purpose is very simple, the prime minister has too many powers, and Hu Weiyong himself has done too many things without power. Comparatively speaking, the warrior is more reliable than the Venchen in this regard. As the last prime minister in Chinese history, Hu Weiyong's death not only implicated tens of thousands of people to be killed, but also those who deserved to be killed and those who were innocent, of course, counting their families together. The main purpose is to abolish the Zhongshu province system that has been handed down for thousands of years, because of the lessons of the Yuan Dynasty, the reason why the Yuan Dynasty did not pass a hundred years is because the Zhongshu Province centralized power, and in just a few decades, more than a dozen emperors were changed, and many emperors were killed by the power of the conspirators, and the regime was unstable. When Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he had to learn a lesson. Another blue jade case occurred at the end of the Hongwu period, mainly because the crown prince Zhu Biao died early, and his son Was zhu Yunjiao was made the emperor's grandson, this grandson was not as prestigious as Zhu Biao first, and secondly more benevolent than his father, Zhu Yuanzhang had to make up his mind, plus Blue Jade himself was arrogant, and did a lot of illegal things during the Northern Expedition, giving Zhu Yuanzhang an excuse. In the last instant, tens of thousands of people were killed.
?? The above is only the Late Nanbei Bang Case and the Hu Weiyong Case Blue Jade Case, and there are two economic cases that have killed many people, and these two cases are mainly purged of corrupt officials. During Zhu Yuanzhang's period, the anti-corruption methods were very cruel, and one was called the Guo Huan case, which mainly talked about the embezzlement and bribery of Guo Huan, a household attendant, and implicated many people related to him. After all, Lao Zhu was the emperor of the peasants' family, and naturally could not tolerate many corrupt officials and illegal things, and finally threw bricks and jade and killed nearly tens of thousands of people, and there was another case called the empty seal case, because of the bloody case of the blank letter of introduction. This case is an unjust case, because the local officials have a place far away from the beijing household department and a considerable distance, and if they run around, it will take up to year. Of course, it was impossible to have trains and planes as developed as it is today, when there was nothing but to rely on fast horses. If the local official gets the account and the household department can't match it, he will run to change the trouble, so he uses a blank letter to stamp it and directly take it to the capital to fill it out! Lao Zhu felt that there might be an article in it, so he went on a killing spree and killed many innocent people.
?? In addition to the above-mentioned cases, of course, there were also literal prisons during the Zhu Yuanzhang period in the early Ming Dynasty, but they were not as serious as the imprisoned ideas during the Kang Yongqian period of the Qing Dynasty. Many people can write well, and if the poems are not the right name or title with the emperor of the dynasty, then you will be unlucky, and many people will die. Although the Ming Dynasty was better than the Qing Dynasty in this regard, it was far inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties. Especially when the Tang Dynasty was open, the famous poet Li Bai did not blame him no matter how he wrote.
?? No matter which emperor can not think so perfect, for example, although Tang Taizong is very great and has made many contributions to future generations, the change of Xuanwumen is a stain that he cannot erase in his lifetime. Zhu Yuanzhang's killings are indeed the most common in the past, but he is really good to the people, afraid that the people will be bullied, each person will be given a copy of his own personal writing, if the local officials have anything to do, they can take this to sue him. Therefore, Hongwu has always been politically clear and clear, supported by the people, and finally the Ming Dynasty has enjoyed nearly 300 years of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang's contribution is indispensable!
