China has experienced more than two thousand years of feudal society, during which countless princes and generals were born, and basically every emperor had a certain contribution to the country during his reign. Some of them took over the power from their fathers, that is, the inheritance system of the eldest son under the hereditary system, and received relevant education as a national recognition training from an early age, and it was natural to ascend to the throne;
There were also some people who revolted when they were not satisfied with their rule, zhu Yuanzhang was the latter, he was a young name, and his ancestors from a poor family had lived on agriculture for generations, and they often hid their debts in arrears of taxes.
In ancient times, Zhu Yuanzhang also had several children in his family, but only a few survived in the end, because the family was poor and could not provide him with school, Zhu Yuanzhang could only herd cattle for the landlord and make a living.
Later, in the face of the locust plague, the people were not happy, countless people were displaced and starved, their parents and brothers died one after another, Zhu Yuanzhang began to make a living for himself, and later defected to Huangjue Temple to shave his hair as a monk and a child.
In the chaotic times, the temple can be described as a refuge, a place where he can eat and live for free without spending money, but the temple did not last long before he disbanded and had to wander, and joined the rebel army under the wrong yin and yang to achieve hegemony.
From cattle herding to a generation of emperors, he has experienced a lot, and the ministers around him who are willing to follow him are indispensable, but after ascending the throne, his suspicions have gradually reckoned with many heroes.
01 Tang He is closely related to Zhu Yuanzhang
Tang He is one of the founding heroes and a fellow zhu Yuanzhang, who had great ambitions in his childhood.
As the saying goes, "three years old to see small, seven years old to see old", when he was a child, he liked to be a leader and led other small partners to practice play, and when he became an adult, he also had the temperament of a leader, and his thinking was quick and calm.
In 1352, he led more than ten friends to join the rebel army, and also wrote a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang to solicit him, but he did not expect that the letter was found by the other party to inform, and was forced to join the Red Turban Army, it can be said that his path of uprising was Tang he guided.
Jointly completed the great cause of Tang and was named the marshal of the unified army for a time, and later offered to disarm and return to the field, before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him what he wanted, and the other party replied: a hundred beautiful women.
Relevant history records that he did have more than a hundred concubines. Everyone thought that the emperor would not agree and did not expect to allow it directly, And Tang He returned to his hometown with a beautiful woman, but in fact, this is the embodiment of wisdom.
02 The cleverness of the soup and
In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions became more and more serious, and he was afraid that the generals would support the army and respect themselves, and he executed many of his brothers who were born and died with him, and in order to strengthen the centralization of power, under the pretext of the rebellion of The Duke of Liangguo, Lan Yu, history records that this man was arrogant and arrogant, "Yu Bu le lived under the two dukes of Song and Ying, and said: "I can't bear Taishiye."
He was originally the right arm of Zhu Yuanzhang, the left son of Zhu Biao, but the crown prince died and the emperor's grandson could not suppress the blue jade at a young age, so he changed from helping to hidden danger, so Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get rid of him.
The blue jade case and the Hu Weiyong case, which caused a sensation in the country, both emitted a message: the emperor was jealous of veterans.
Tang He saw his intentions and took the initiative to intercede for retirement, but also wanted a hundred beautiful women to defile themselves, wanting the emperor to think that he was addicted to beauty and was not interested in political affairs, and the superior was not afraid of the greed of his subordinates, afraid that he was too upright and did not like anything.
Money and beauty can not buy the heart of the person firm, if greed for money or greed for the right medicine can prove that he has shortcomings, such a person is less likely to usurp the throne.
Tang He was very clever to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang with a request, compared to other veteran ministers, he was dying of his life, and he was still favored by the emperor in his later years.
Illness can not speak Zhu Yuanzhang personally visited, the aggravation of the disease can not stand the emperor ordered him to take a car to see, the two often talk about the past and hometown friends and the current development, may be for the emperor he is not only an old minister, but also a witness to years of suffering.
