Li Shanchang, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty who was already in his twilight years, could not escape death, and the best proof of the sentence "if you don't die, you won't die" is the sentence. Li Shanchang's contribution to Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Ming Dynasty was still great. Although he was not a military general and had never gone into battle to kill the enemy, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's most important staff officer. He gave advice to Zhu Yuanzhang, dispatched grain and grass in wartime, managed the logistics of the army, and knew people and made good use of them.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang was a meritorious minister, he had a very high evaluation of him. It is believed that although he did not go to war and did not make any meritorious contributions, his contributions such as supplying grain and grass were extremely great, and he should be crowned a big country. The reward for Li Shanchang was also extremely high, and he was named the Duke of Korea, with 4,000 stones per year, and gave him an iron coupon to avoid death, which could save Li Shanchang from two deaths and his son from death. However, how could the founding hero who was so valued by Zhu Yuanzhang end up dying, and his wife, daughter, and brothers and nephews were all killed because of Zhu Lian?
In the Case of Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong had accused Li Shanchang of plotting rebellion before the incident, but at that time, Old Zhu did not care, and he also knew that Li Shanchang could not rebel. Later, when Hu Weiyong was killed, Lao Zhu learned that Hu Weiyong had plotted against Li Shanchang, but Li Shanchang did not agree. However, this matter was an inability to pass in Lao Zhu's heart, and since this was the case, Li Shanchang must have known that Hu Weiyong had ill intentions, but he did not report it to Lao Zhu, knowing that it was a sin not to report it, and not liquidating at that time was because it was not his turn.
After waiting for a few years, although Li Shanchang had already returned to his hometown, Old Zhu had never forgotten him, and in his life, he often sent Jinyi Guards to ask for warmth, just to see what he was doing. Moreover, it should be known that Hu Weiyong was pulled up by Li Shanchang, or he accepted bribes from Hu Weiyong. In the Case of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang had an inseparable stake, at least in the use of personnel, which also had to be punished.
Not to mention that Old Zhu was originally small in temperament, he said that he accepted bribes, misidentified people, knew but did not report, and this one old Zhu could list things separately. Therefore, Li Shanchang's death blamed old Zhu For his small amount of qi, and he also blamed himself for being careless. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang killed him just to show the people of the world! I can even kill the founding fathers, those civilian strategists, those arrogant and fierce generals, not to mention, that is, to let those people with different surnames in the world do their own things in peace and stability as soon as possible.
