Zhu Yuanzhang was a famous emperor in history. In addition to his legendary experience from cattle herding baby to emperor, the most important thing is his contribution to history. The greater his contribution to history, the more he will inevitably give. We all know zhu Yuanzhang's death, he died of exhaustion.
Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the few diligent emperors in history. So how diligent is Zhu Yuanzhang? Many people can't imagine that Zhu Yuanzhang has to deal with a lot of things every day, some things are afraid to forget, just write on the paper and pin it around the waist, wait for the retreat to deal with it, often at the end of the day, there are too many other papers around the waist, and when you calm down, you find yourself like a hedgehog. It is really not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily rationale. From three aspects, we can know how diligent Zhu Yuanzhang is.
On May 10, 31, Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died at the Yingtian Palace, and as the saying goes, people will die and their words are good. Zhu Yuanzhang's last words before his death best explained his inner thoughts. The edict said that during his 31 years as emperor, he had been thinking about worries and dangers every day, and he did not dare to laxly manage politics for the sake of managing the people of the world. But still modestly said, born in a humble background, liked friendly, hated evil people. Still far behind compared to ancient monarchs.
What Zhu Yuanzhang said was not a false statement, Zhu Yuanzhang did just that. To what extent is Zhu Yuanzhang diligent? It can be said that no one has ever come. Zhu Yuanzhang went to the court 3 times a day, in the morning, at noon and in the evening. In addition to working in the palace, he often visited private micro-service trips to learn about the suffering of the people.
Therefore, often do not sleep well at night, if you do not deal with one thing every day, you will worry about the suffering and suffering of the people all day long. These are by no means stories that allow future generations to glorify him, but facts. Ancient people were basically superstitious due to the influence of feudal customs, and sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang would wake up at night to observe the heavens. If the astronomical phenomenon is abnormal, it means that he has done something wrong. Maybe God wanted to punish him, so he was more diligent in governing. Zhu Yuanzhang said that since he took office, he has been very diligent every day. He went to work in the Upper Dynasty before dawn. He returned to the palace at midnight. After returning to the palace every night, he had to deal with major state affairs. If handled well, you will only sleep well. Zhu Yuanzhang, as an emperor who rose from the bottom of society, knew that only by being good at handling the people's affairs and making the people live and work in peace and contentment could he make society stable, because he personally experienced the suffering of the people. As a result, his diligence and energy are unparalleled.
According to historical statistics, Zhu Yuanzhang has processed 1160 recitals in 8 days. If one sonata is conservatively counted as 1,000 words, then 1160 sonatas are 1.16 million words, and the average number of characters read per day is 150,000. Moreover, it is impossible to write only one thing in each recital, and some have long speeches. During these 8 days, there are thousands of things that are likely to be involved. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang has to deal with hundreds of things on average every day, which is a bit unreasonable in daily use.
The history of the Ming Dynasty was compiled by the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus, Zhu Yuanzhang was highly praised. The phrase "The Han, Tang, and Song monarchs are incomparable" is by no means an exaggeration of Zhu Yuanzhang, but is true. According to records, Liu Bang, Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty were not comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang. This is not only the Manchu views and history books, but also the Manchu emperors.
Shunzhi Emperor: "I don't think the wise monarchs of the past were better than Hongwu. How can the virtues of the monarch and the security, the good people and the imperfect monarch be brought together. In terms of rules and regulations, the plan is meticulous, so I say that the monarchs of the past dynasties were also inferior to Hongwu. ”
The Shunzhi Emperor was the first emperor after entering the Qing Dynasty. Shunzhi said that the wise monarchs of the past dynasties could not be compared with Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang. The Shunzhi Emperor praised Zhu Yuanzhang so highly, which was really remarkable. Because the Qing Dynasty was the power of the Ming Dynasty, it was logical to think that the Qing Dynasty should belittle Zhu Yuanzhang, but as an enemy, Shunzhi not only did not demean Zhu Yuanzhang, but also respected him.
Many histories have proved that Zhu Yuanzhang's diligence and love for the people were unmatched in the past dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang's motivation to be diligent and love the people stemmed from the suffering of his own background. Zhu Yuanzhang's last will and testament and the "History of Ming" also prove that Zhu Yuanzhang's diligence is by no means a beautification, but a fact. This was the admiration of Zhu Yuanzhang's enemy, the Shunzhi Emperor.
