Zhu Yuanzhang, one of the most famous emperors in Chinese history, is not an exaggeration to describe his life as a legend. Such a man, from a nameless junior to an emperor of a country, in addition to strong strength, the most important thing is excellent IQ and emotional intelligence. It was only when those heroes who shared his sufferings and hardships that they realized until their deaths that the emperor they had been following was not suitable for common wealth. Countless people were brutally killed, causing a bloody storm for a while.
There was a rumor in that year that Zhu Yuanzhang specially invited old ministers to a banquet, including Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen was very wise, he quietly pressed the corner of the dragon robe under his body, and he did not expect that this action finally saved his own life! So what's going on in between? How terrifying is Zhu Yuanzhang's real purpose in hosting the banquet? Next, let's dig deeper into the inside story.
Zhu Yuanzhang's growth history
First, let's understand the many storms that Zhu Yuanzhang experienced when he was a child. In ancient China, there was a very strange phenomenon that the poorer the family, the more the number of heirs, and the future generations were endless. Zhu Yuanzhang's family is exactly like this, parents have no culture, giving birth to children can only be named according to the calendar, when Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the day of the heavy eight, the second elder directly named Zhu Zhongba. Coming from an ordinary old peasant family, he felt the cold of the world from an early age, the family had no money for him to study, very early let him go outside as an apprentice to make money, the money that came and went did not make much, but he was swallowed into the stomach by the grievances of bullying.
There was really no way, Zhu Yuanzhang ran to his old friend Tang He, Tang He was working under Guo Zixing at the time, relying on this relationship Zhu Yuanzhang gradually developed in his career. I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to see people's eyes is really high, and he has suffered so much bitterness in his early years. Exercising this skill is also a blessing in disguise.
Later, Guo Zixing died in the war, Zhu Yuanzhang rose with the trend, and the connections accumulated over the years helped him stabilize his position in the army, and step by step he actually established a new dynasty. Prior to this, Zhu Yuanzhang married the virtuous Ma Shi, and this woman became the biggest spiritual reliance in his life path, it can be said that without Ma Shi, there would be no Zhu Yuanzhang's brilliant achievements.
The Ming Dynasty was established, and Zhu Yuanzhang changed his face
In 1370, the Year ming Dynasty was officially established. In order to commend those ministers who followed him to the south and north, Zhu Yuanzhang gave them the honor of being a duke, and the scenery was unique for a while. In the past, the friendship between the emperor and these people was very deep, and after he became emperor, he did not hesitate to marry the princess and the children of the ministers in the palace. Layer after layer of relationship was blessed, and I thought that their relationship would become more and more harmonious, and the situation of the Ming Dynasty being ruined would soon pass. But I didn't think that everything was developing in a completely different direction!
These ministers suddenly changed from a tired war life to a rich and arrogant living environment, coupled with the countless honors given by the emperor, and the gold medal of death was added. In this way, they began to be arrogant, and even did things that endangered people's lives, how not to make people feel cold? However, these people have always relied on the gold medal to avoid death, and even if the emperor is not used to it, he will look at the gold medal face and tolerate a step. With the passage of time, the ministers relied on their status as relatives of the emperor and the state, and ran amok, and Zhu Yuanzhang finally broke out.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to build a celebration building to feast on those who had made outstanding achievements. This time, he specially invited those who had heavy soldiers in hand to prepare for a feast at the Hongmen Gate. A group of ministers agreed to participate, and they came to the scene in full costumes and excitedly, looking at the table full of mountain treasures and seafood, eager to try. The ministers did not have the slightest sense of crisis, and they ate happily at the emperor's behest, and the wine was even more powerful and sang without taking the emperor in his eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, taking advantage of this lively energy to obey them, and the scene was even more exciting.
Liu Bowen accompanied him to pay attention to Zhu Yuanzhang
Unlike the ministers present, Liu Bowen was sitting precariously during the whole process, and he intentionally or unintentionally placed himself behind Zhu Yuanzhang to observe his every move. In order to better understand Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, Liu Bowen quietly pressed his dragon robe under his body, and then complied, and there was nothing wrong with it. Looking at the ministers in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fluctuated greatly, recalling the journey he had experienced together in the past, and his relationship with these people would change to this point, and he was very impressed in his heart.
After drinking a little wine, Zhu Yuanzhang left the Hall of Celebration with the support of his subordinates. Liu Bowen immediately woke up, and he quietly left the back door and smoothly left this place of right and wrong. And not long after he left on his front foot, the door of the banquet hall was tightly locked by people with hearts, and poor ministers who were immersed in fine wine and delicacies inside did not realize that they had fallen into a trap. The fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and finally someone was waking up, and they were frantically pounding on the door in hopes of escaping. The gates were locked and there was still a chance for them to survive, and as time went on, the sound inside became quieter and quieter until it was drowned out.
The ministers could not have imagined that the glory they had bought all their lives would end in this way. Zhu Yuanzhang also proved with strength that he could share hardships but could not share wealth. And Liu Bowen, the only survivor of this disaster, could not help but pinch a handful of sweat for himself. At first, he realized that Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was not pure, but he did not expect that he was so vicious, which also caused Liu Bowen and the emperor to be separated, and after a few years, he retreated into the background and ended in illness and death.
Some people say that Liu Bowen's death was inseparable from Zhu Yuanzhang, and the emperor was far away in the temple but still suspected Liu Bowen, so he let Hu Weiyong design to kill him. Some people also say that Liu Bowen is not a genius, secretly desecrated the way of mystery, and went to heaven in accordance with the mandate of heaven! In any case, it was an undeniable fact that he and the emperor were separated.
epilogue
This fire engulfed Zhu Yuanzhang's last conscience, and the ministers who were burned to death in the fire also made the remaining loyal generals panic. Everyone knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was fierce, and since then, the situation in the DPRK and China has become more and more strange, and the ministers are worried that their every move will affect their future fate. However, objectively speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's celebration banquet "unintentionally" assassinated many courtiers, which did solve his troubles and control the situation. However, vicious means are not the solution after all, which is also an important reason for Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation to decline.
