Cangjie made words, rained and millet, and ghosts cried at night
The discovery of characters has made great strides in human society, and the Chinese characters in its Chinese characters are the bright stars in the cultural treasures of the Chinese nation. However, everything has two sides, and I did not expect that Chinese characters would one day become a weapon for killing people.
Once in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the literal prison began to prevail, because of this, the number of people who were raided was innumerable.
Zhu Yuanzhang's most taboo word
Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the last three dynasties of China, the "Yuan ming and Qing dynasties", the situation between the two dynasties is more complicated. Let's not mention the politics of the Yuan Dynasty, because it is related to the cultural background of different ethnic groups. However, after the Ming Dynasty had a "Yongle prosperous era", it was gradually declining, which was related to its gradually centralized political system.
At that time, the current dynasty was bent on controlling the government, and even the people's writing had to be controlled.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many literary prisons, but I did not expect that the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also had such a history. Zhu Yuanzhang has many taboo words in this life, but the most taboo is one
"Then"
word.
Because at that time, an official said in the article that "the constitution is re-constitutional", and the actual "then" is homophonous with "thief". The so-called "chaotic thieves" are the same reason
Zhu Yuanzhang gained absolute power through the peasant uprising, which from the perspective of the onlooker is like a thief gaining power in a strong way, even if the starting point of the uprising is good. Therefore, seeing such words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt uncomfortable and felt that he was secretly satirized, and this official eventually buried his own life.
There is a reason for a person's sensitivity to a thing, and presumably this thing has given him a deep impression, and such an impression is either great joy or great sorrow.
Through historical descriptions, we find that Zhu Yuanzhang is actually a very insecure person, and he himself rose all the way from the commoners to the supreme ruler of the country, which is an insecure thing in itself.
In the ancient feudal society, great attention was paid to the relationship of blood, otherwise there would not be such a statement as the orthodox concubine following the official position, and for the ruler,
The people pay more attention to the righteousness and obedience of Providence.
Many emperors in ancient times
Because they want to win the hearts and minds of the people, they will compile themselves to ascend the throne in accordance with the will of God.
Just like the original Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, there must always be some reason. Similarly, Zhu Yuanzhang also used the same method. But even so, he remained insecure after ascending to the throne. Presumably, what happened to him was indeed a scar in his heart.
How Zhu Yuanzhang ascended to the throne
The era in which Zhu Yuanzhang lived was already the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and naturally it was also a dark period. At that time, the upper-level officials did not know how to observe the people's feelings, but only knew how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment. To make matters worse for the people, the rulers also paid no attention to the chaos of the government. And how the superstructure is, in fact, the most direct victim is the people at the bottom. During such a period, the life of Zhu Yuanzhang's family was also very embarrassing.
Zhu Yuanzhang's family was very poor
Many children were born in the family but were given away because they could not be raised. Fortunately, although Zhu Yuanzhang was the youngest, he was not starved to death or sent away. When he grew up a little, he went out to work in exchange for money to support his family, and because of this, the little Zhu Yuanzhang also worked as a cattle herder for several years.
However, even such a comfortable life at the lowest level did not last long, when Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown had a very serious drought, and such a disaster was even worse
Let the originally heavy taxation and servitude become the last straw that overwhelmed the people. Zhu Yuanzhang's family also died in this disaster, and it seems that he is only a lonely person left in this world.
In order to make a living, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the temple and became a small monk
。 In ancient times, although the life of the temple was poor, it was better than the oppression of the people at the bottom. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was often beaten and scolded by old monks in the temple, it was also a benefit to solve the most basic problem of food and clothing. But slowly, the temple was no longer a great sanctuary, and it could no longer even afford the monks' food problems.
In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang had to enter the life of exile once again.
However, the dark politics of the Yuan Dynasty is also coming to an end. Because, in ancient times, the most important thing was the temple, and this is their belief, naturally they will give preferential treatment to the temple. When the temples could not hold on, it was natural that a political system began to disintegrate.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang came out of the temple and could only walk all the way to life, and because of this, he had seen the customs and customs of almost the entire country at that time, which also laid the foundation for his later Xiongtao.
What really changed Zhu Yuanzhang's fate was actually to participate in the peasant uprising, he entered the peasant rebel army led by Guo Zixing, cut through thorns all the way, and finally gained absolute rule.
But even if he finally ascended to the throne and became the highest-ranking person at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt in his heart that his background was not so strong, so there would be some inferiority that was difficult for others to detect.
The reason for the literal prison in Zhu Yuanzhang's period was not only the word "ze", but also the word "sheng" (same as "monk"), all of which were related to his past experiences.
Those things of the Ming Dynasty
Like Zhu Yuanzhang, zhu di also had some inferiority in his heart
, the emperor who created the Yongle prosperous world. Although he tried hard to cure his life, he still lost on his own doubts. As we all know, Zhu Di launched the Jing Dynasty and seized the world of the former Jianwen Emperor, and thus planted a seed in his heart, a seed of brothers killing each other.
To say that Zhu Di's life seems to be no different from Zhu Yuanzhang's, both are in the process of conquest, so the two may have a more urgent yearning for power
。 However, the only difference between the two people is that Zhu Yuanzhang's battle is more just, while Zhu Di's battle is like being forced by the division of power.
Later, after Zhu Di ascended to the position of The Yongle Emperor, he seemed to have no scruples about the politics of the court, but the most worrying thing was that his three sons had been constantly testing their sons, even the only grandson, in order to compete for the throne. But after the accumulation of labor and death, Zhu Di's biggest fear still happened.
Compared with the emperors of other dynasties, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty seem to have a little more of an atmosphere of the people, which may be related to the fact that they have not received the so-called aristocratic education.
However, the subsequent emergence of the word prison should be the biggest drawback of this situation, and they are particularly afraid of the disappearance of the politics they manipulate, so they are particularly careful with words.
