Zhu Yuanzhang feasted on the founding heroes, Liu Bowen did not dare to move his chopsticks after seeing the dish, turned to Xu Da and said: We are finished!
From ancient times to the present, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has been a controversial figure, and the positive critics of it are usually focused on his efforts to fight corruption and restore the economy and people's livelihood, and there are relevant records in the history books. Negative critics, on the other hand, mostly look at the killing of founding fathers. In the sixth year of Ming Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, because the founding fathers relied on many merits to break the law, ran amok in the countryside, ordered the Ministry of Works to make a cast iron list, and wrote the ordinance of the Duke of Shenjing, which has revealed the signal of future killing from the side. Zhu Yuanzhang feasted on the heroes, and these three dishes frightened Liu Bowen in a cold sweat: the emperor wanted to kill the ring.
Zhu Yuanzhang is one of the rare peasant emperors in Chinese history, his ascension to the throne is still very inspiring, his contribution to China is also very large, and the Ming Dynasty he established is one of the most powerful dynasties in Chinese history. Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Central Plains Dynasty was very afraid of the northern nomads, bowing to the knees, Shi Jingyao even recognized the emperor of the Liao State as his father, and the Southern Song Emperor also declared himself a vassal to the Jin Kingdom, this situation was completely changed in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, and repeatedly went north to Mongolia, making the Ming Dynasty a powerful dynasty.
One day empress Ma celebrated her birthday, and Zhu Yuanzhang gathered all the ministers to celebrate together for a dinner. The emperor invited guests, who dares not come? Everyone was looking forward to tasting the food of the palace after they were seated, but the dishes on the table turned out to be vegetarian dishes. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that everyone did not eat, so he said: "Since everyone does not like to eat vegetarian dishes, let's withdraw it and change it to something else." So the vegetarian dish was served, and the waiter served four hard dishes in succession. Everyone had sold their lives on the battlefield, and soon the atmosphere became active. The general Xu Da was eating happily, but when he looked up, he found that Liu Bowen did not move his chopsticks, but just looked down and drank.
Liu Bowen told him that in the future, if Zhu Yuanzhang let his courtiers enter the palace for a banquet, Xu Da must follow Zhu Yuanzhang closely, otherwise there is a high probability of disaster. Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang did invite many ministers to the palace for a banquet again, this time Xu Da sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang when eating according to Liu Bowen's words, and when Zhu Yuanzhang left the table, Xu Da also followed suit. Not long after Xu Da left the table, he heard that the Qinggong Building where they were eating had been burned, and none of the courtiers present escaped, and everyone knew who put the fire. Only Liu Bowen understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, and it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang had already shown his intention to kill at this time.
