The establishment and rise of each dynasty is a legend that cannot be copied. To say that the most important of them is the Kai Dynasty Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was a representative figure among the self-made emperors of previous dynasties, and his prestige can be said to be well known to posterity. In addition to tough means, fierce heart is his representative noun.
Ruthless is the most imperial family, and this statement is not too much to put on Zhu Yuanzhang. In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang was only a big soldier in the army, but fortunately, thanks to Bole's appreciation, he had the opportunity to ascend the throne. This Bole was his father-in-law, Guo Zixing. Zhu Yuanzhang married Guo Zixing's daughter and killed his two sons with his backhand, and the reason for this was even more shocking.
First, the first encounter with Zhu Yuanzhang
Guo Zixing's ancestors were from Caozhou, and his father, Guo Gong, traveled around Dingyuan as a bumist when he was young, specifically to predict bad luck for people. It can be said that he is a free prophet, the key is that his prophecies are very accurate, and almost every prophecy spoken can finally come true.
Maybe it was that his name gradually went out, and when he went to a rich family in the city to propose to him, the family did not refuse. The woman he proposed was the unmarried blind woman of this rich family. Maybe he calculated that the woman was related to him, or that he had married the woman for some other reason.
After the two became intimate, the life in the family slowly became richer. They had three children in total, and Guo Zixing was the second son. Before Guo Zixing was born, Guo Gong gave the child a blessing according to the custom. The calculation was auspicious, and Guo Gong was naturally happy. In the process of Guo Zixing's growth, he slowly developed a chivalrous character.
When he grew up, Guo Zixing liked to make friends everywhere, liked to eliminate violence and be good, and the whole person was full of righteousness. The imperial court became increasingly corrupt, the officials were lazy and faint, the world was in turmoil, and the people were afraid. When Guo Zixing heard the news, he immediately turned over his family property and killed cattle to prepare wine and spread Haojie.
Of course, he did this only for one thing, which was to expose the uprising. After gathering thousands of young and strong youths, Guo Zixing felt that the time had come, and immediately raised an army to capture Haozhou. At this time, Guo Zixing met Zhu Yuanzhang, who later dominated the world. After he attacked the city, Zhu Yuanzhang came to join him.
Guo Zixing's doorman saw that Zhu Yuanzhang did not look like a righteous person and suspected that he was a spy of the imperial court. Directly let zhu Yuanzhang tie up, and then informed Guo Zixing of the matter. Guo Zixing now is the time to employ people, of course, he will not easily miss anyone who comes to him.
Guo Zixing carefully examined Zhu Yuanzhang and concluded that he was not a spy of the imperial court. He also felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance was not ordinary, so he ordered people to untie the rope that bound Zhu Yuanzhang. After the two had a long talk, Guo Zixing took Zhu Yuanzhang under the account and promoted him to the position of tenth husband.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not live up to Guo Zixing's expectations, and over the years he has been following Guo Zixing around to fight and make many military achievements. Guo Zixing has such a subordinate, of course, he is very happy, and has always praised Zhu Yuanzhang as a strange person.
Just as the so-called fat water does not flow to outsiders, Guo Zixing married the daughter of Ma Gong, whom he raised, to Zhu Yuanzhang. The daughter of this Ma Gong was the empress dowager who later became famous.
There were a total of four people who followed Guo Zixing's righteousness, and counting Guo Zixing, it was five people. Several of them called each other handsome and did not give in to each other. However, in addition to Guo Zixing, the four people have a very strong personality and are very reckless, often doing some things to rob the family.
Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed with this and advised Guo Zixing when there was no one around him. The other four gradually turned against them, telling Guo Zixing to be careful. But Guo Zixing did not listen.
Second, several times captured
After the Yuan army attacked Xuzhou, the Xuzhou defenders Peng Da and Zhao Junyong led the remaining generals to Haozhou. Sun Deya and others, that is, these people who revolted with Guo Zixing. I think that Peng Da and these two people were famous bandit leaders before, and their brains were very flexible. Together, they recommended the two of them to Guo Zixing, willing to let them be on their own.
Among them, Peng Da is even more intelligent, and Guo Zixing reuses Peng Da and despises Zhao Junyong. Sun Deya took the opportunity to provoke Zhao Junyong to say to him: "Guo Zixing only knows General Peng, but does not know you General Zhao!" Zhao Jun was furious when he heard the consequences, and took the opportunity to capture Guo Zixing and imprison him in Sun Deya's house.
After Zhu Yuanzhang returned from going out, he was surprised to learn about this matter. He quickly took Guo Zixing's two sons and told Peng Da about this matter. Peng Da told Zhu Yuanzhang that as long as he was there, no one would dare to hurt Guo Zixing. Several people rushed to Sun Deya's house together and smashed the chains to rescue Guo Zixing.
After that, there was a gap in the hearts of these people, until the Yuan army began to besiege Haozhou, and several people let go of the mustard in their hearts. After the siege was lifted, these barriers were reopened, and Peng Da died not long after.
Zhao Junyong became more and more tyrannical day by day, and he even kidnapped Guo Zixing to attack Sizhou, not only that, he also wanted to harm Guo Zixing. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already captured Chuyang, and when he heard about this, he immediately sent someone to persuade Zhao Junyong.
When he was first hunted down and killed, it was Guo Zixing who accepted him, but now he has betrayed his faith and taken revenge. Even if Zhao Junyong is now full of wings, but Guo Zixing's army is also quite a lot, if he kills Guo Zixing, he will not regret it?
Zhao Junyong knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's army was very powerful, and his heart was inevitably afraid. Zhu Yuanzhang also sent someone to bribe Zhao Junyong's right and left arm, and Guo Zixing escaped the disaster.
Guo Zixing was an irritable and suspicious person, and when he encountered an emergency, he obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's plan. As soon as he got out of danger, he immediately listened to rumors to alienate Zhu Yuanzhang. And it was Guo Zixing's two sons who spoke to Guo Zixing.
Third, depression ends
They were worried that Zhu Yuanzhang's fame was getting bigger and bigger, and it was bound to affect them in the future. He even secretly poisoned Zhu Yuanzhang's wine. However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw through the plan and did not succeed.
Guo Zixing gradually deprived Zhu Yuanzhang of his military powers, and Zhu Yuanzhang could only be more cautious when doing things. The soldiers have something to offer. Empress Ma also gave all the money to Guo Zixing's wife. Sun Deya heard that Guo Zixing had arrived in Hezhou and tried to lure the troops away. The two sides also began a real battle.
Guo Zixing captured Zhao Junyong, but learned that Zhu Yuanzhang was captured by Zhao Junyong's men. Guo Zixing immediately asked Xu Da to replace Zhu Yuanzhang. Both escaped successfully, and Guo Zixing also hated Sun Deya and wanted to get rid of him quickly, but only because Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly let him go.
Guo Zixing had been sullen and unhappy because of this matter and died of illness soon after. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to replace Guo Zixing, and he naturally could not leave Guo Zixing's two sons behind, after all, these two people only thought about how to kill themselves every day.
summary
People in high positions will always be shaken by the people around them, and Guo Zixing's righteousness when he was a teenager has long disappeared with successive years of conquest, leaving only a full belly of suspicion. If Zhu Yuanzhang's means were not strong enough, it is estimated that he would have died at the hands of Guo Zixing's two sons long ago. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was rumored to be fierce in later generations, may also have a lot of last resorts.
