Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and we all know that he was once a low-level figure who was violently trampled on the ground by fate.
Successive misfortunes, successive loss of relatives, and finally in order to survive, he became a monk, but the world is not peaceful, and it is not an easy thing to rely on being a monk to mix food, and a new monk like Zhu Yuanzhang will be sent out to "swim for food". It is said that while traveling, he is actually a monk who fled, so at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, rather than a monk, is more of a beggar than a monk.
Fate has gone through several twists and turns, and Zhu Yuanzhang almost died in this chaotic world, but in the end he survived. Looking at the anti-yuan team everywhere, he also calculated for himself, and the gua elephant told him that he could only take the anti-yuan road.
On this road, as soon as he walked, he stepped out of a new dynasty, and he also changed from a beggar to an emperor and became the only grassroots emperor in Chinese history.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, and he also knew how difficult the life of the people at the bottom was, so when he held the Jiangshan in his hands, he wanted to know whether the people's lives had gotten better or worse after his own governance.
One day, with such a question, he instructed the people to go out on a tour in small clothes and make simple arrangements. Since it is a micro-service tour, the purpose is to experience the folk life, can not expose the identity, then the results of the observation is effective.
With a few people, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party walked aimlessly, looking at the scene of prosperity, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and living a rich life. Zhu Yuanzhang was comfortable looking at it, but he thought to himself, it is estimated that he could not see anything in this city, so he decided to go to the countryside for a walk.
From the city to the countryside, there are no cars and horses, and it is still very hard to walk over, so on the road they are also tired and thirsty, looking for a place to rest their feet, just not far away there is a watermelon field, happily walking towards the watermelon field.
Next to the watermelon field is an old farmer, dressed as a village farmer, sitting on the field with his sleeves rolled up and eating watermelon, that pair of eating faces, and the watermelon juice that flows down, the people watching it drool.
Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and asked, Old Uncle, we are passing through this place, tired and thirsty, want to rest in your feet here, quench your thirst, do you see if it is okay?
The melon farmer looked up at the group of people, all dressed in extraordinary clothes, and thought to himself, where did these noble people come from? On the lips, he replied zhu Yuanzhang, yes, yes. Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, is it okay to buy a watermelon? Of course, the melon farmer said yes, and personally helped them pick a good melon, and also helped cut it, and the melon farmer handed the best piece of the sliced watermelon to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Of course, this is because the melon farmers are not stupid, and when they see this group of people, they know that Zhu Yuanzhang is their leader, so they gave him the best piece of melon.
But in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he thought that he was originally just a micro-service out of the tour, and he couldn't imagine that in such a barren countryside, he was seen by an ordinary melon farmer, he was the boss of a group of people, and this person was really powerful. So I was interested, and simply sat on the roots of the field together and chatted with the melon farmers.
This chatting and chatting stunned Zhu Yuanzhang, because they talked from melon to country, a melon needs a whole watermelon field to take care of it to have a good taste, and the same is true for governing the country. What the melon farmer said was very cryptic, but Zhu Yuanzhang came all the way, how could he not hear what the melon farmer said, this melon farmer's insight, it seems not so simple, not like a simple melon farmer.
As the king of a country, Zhu Yuanzhang's most important thing is of course the talent of a country, which is what he values most. Therefore, he had the intention of gathering the melon farmers in his heart, thinking of offering high-ranking officials to the melon farmers and recruiting him to become an official in the DYNASTY, but what was unexpected was that this melon farmer refused Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness and was unwilling to accept the invitation no matter what he said.
Zhu Yuanzhang was rejected by the melon farmers and had to leave in ashes.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who returned to the palace, still couldn't put down the matter of the melon farmer, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, a melon farmer could say such a thing, but he was so calm and self-assured in the face of the court's solicitation, he should have guessed his identity. In addition, this melon farmer is unmoved by the temptation of power and money, and is by no means an ordinary person.
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he was afraid, if the melon farmer had already guessed his identity, then if he wanted to murder himself, wouldn't he have died a long time ago? Moreover, such an extraordinary figure staying outside is also a hidden danger for Zhu Yuanzhang, who has just stabilized the country, and if he cannot be used by himself, he must not be left behind.
So Zhu Yuanzhang sent people back to the watermelon field to execute the melon farmer, but the man had long disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the melon farmer had long left, and he was more certain that this person was a "Liu Bowen-like" figure, perhaps more powerful than Liu Bowen, and he could not help but have some regrets in his heart. But since you have missed the opportunity, all that remains is regret.
The veracity of this story is still unknown, because Zhu Yuanzhang, as the king of a country, always has some people who have bad intentions and use many false things to push him to the cusp of the storm and make him an unkind emperor who kills innocents indiscriminately. Therefore, to read history, we need to think rationally, but one thing is certain, that is, in the country ruled by Zhu Yuanzhang, many of the policies implemented are beneficial to the people.
