In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang successfully became emperor, because he was born relatively low when he was young, so he tasted the cold and warmth of the world, which can be described as a deep hatred for those corrupt officials. After becoming emperor, he liked to punish these corrupt officials with such severe punishments, even if you only embezzled a few dozen taels of silver, you would be beheaded, and those who were particularly bad would skin it.
Of course, no matter how tragic the death of these corrupt officials, in fact, they deserve it, and not many people will give them sympathy. There was such a Qing official in history, because the official was too clean and honest, there was not much oil and water, and finally because of some things, Zhu Yuanzhang was sentenced to capital punishment, this person is Zeng Bingzheng Hongwu in the early years, Zeng Bingzheng entered the official, but his path to becoming an official is a little different, not the way of ordinary people, because he did not take the regular road.
It was through the recommendation of friends that he became an official, completely because the Ming Dynasty had just been founded for a short time, so there was an urgent need for this kind of talent. If the examination system is opened to admit talents, it will take a while, so when the imperial court selects officials, it generally adopts the recommendation system, and Zeng Bingzheng has successfully obtained the benefits of this system, and the position of officials who enter through recommendation is very low.
Moreover, the possibility of ascending to the throne is relatively small, and some of the officials who really hold important powers are basically appointed through formal examinations. During his induction period, Zeng Bingzheng only served as a petty official, because he was very remote in Haizhou, and now he was just an education bureau chief in a poor county, which was definitely good for ordinary people. But for those recorded in history, this is a petty official the size of a mung bean.
But it also allowed him to seize the opportunity. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a holy decree to let everyone go and give him advice, and he wrote a long letter of suggestion, and he changed from a local official to an official in the capital. In fact, there is nothing substantive on this letter, most of them are praise for the emperor, and slap the horse's ass. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very useful, but after listening more, he was definitely impatient and directly let him retire.
Zeng Bingzheng certainly could not express this opinion, saying that I would tell the old man to go back to his hometown to pack up his things and prepare to go home, only to find that he was too incorruptible as an official, and he did not even have the cost of the road home. Zeng Bingzheng sold his 4-year-old daughter in order to make up for the travel expenses, which was a relatively explosive act at the time. Tiger poison does not eat children. This news reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, and according to historical records, "Bingzheng was in power and neglected to do things, and the emperor was quite tolerant."
The search for the end is to stop with a will. Poor can not return, the four-year-old girl. Emperor Wen was furious, put the punishment of corruption, and did not know the end", Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor family, his parents died since childhood, and then wandered around, so he attached great importance to family affection, and Zeng Bingzheng's practice obviously angered Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that since he did not know how to be a father, he would not do it in the future, and then after he was arrested, he was in capital punishment.
After that, there is no record of this person in history, people say that even if the tiger is vicious, it will not eat its own children, but it directly sold its little daughter because of some small travel expenses, Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior is somewhat cruel, but it has been understood by many people, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is just looking for an excuse, except for him.
