The minister asked Zhu Yuanzhang for 6 days of leave, and on the 7th day of the court, Zhu Yuanzhang said: Push out and kill
Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes
In 1368, after defeating Chen Youyi, Zhang Shicheng, and the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang, like some emperors, began to give rewards to various ministers for their merits and deeds, and to pay homage to the marquis.
However, for the world of Daming, Zhu Yuanzhang has always regarded it as his "private property", and anyone who can threaten it will be regarded as a "hidden danger" by Zhu Yuanzhang, even if it is his own brother.
In the film and television drama "Zhu Yuanzhang", Emperor Zhu once said such a sentence to his brother Tang He: "The general can be abolished, and the country and mountains cannot be destroyed." To put it simply, even if the brothers are gone, they cannot be without Jiangshan, which shows how fierce and desperate Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is.
During the Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong was a very capable official, although he later joined the Zhu Yuanzhang clique, but he developed very quickly, and was deeply valued and liked by Zhu Yuanzhang. However, Hu Weiyong did not know how to restrain his edge.
What the kings of the past hated most was "forming parties for personal gain", as was the case with Hu Weiyong during his tenure as chancellor, which seriously threatened the position of Emperor Zhu. In the film and television drama "Zhu Yuanzhang", Zhu Yuanzhang once said: "I am not afraid of the high merits of the military generals, nor are I afraid of the civil servants to gain power, I am afraid that the military generals and the civilians will unite ..."
From a certain point of view, Hu Weiyong was the "glue" that could unite the civilian and military generals, which made Zhu Yuanzhang have to kill him. In this way, a hugely influential "Hu Weiyong case" appeared, and tens of thousands of people were implicated.
During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang was very sensitive, and many ministers did not dare to touch his brow. However, there was one person who ignored it, and as a result, he gave Emperor Zhu the opportunity to kill him, and this person was Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng took a leave of absence and was killed as a result
It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Heng was also a good official, he was promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang from the end of the year, so he was more grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang for his kindness, and after entering the army, he also made a lot of contributions to repay Zhu Yuanzhang.
Once, Zhou Heng did not know what reason to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for leave to go home, and Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed to him. At that time, Zhou Heng asked Zhu Yuanzhang for a "6-day leave", but he only returned on the 7th.
Therefore, when he went to the court the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhou Heng, "Didn't you say that you would come back after 6 days of leave?" Why did he ask for seven days now, and he actually spoke in a rebellious manner..." Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Zhou Heng.
According to normal circumstances, the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Heng should be very good, why did the former kill the latter? In fact, it can only be said that Zhou Heng touched Zhu Yuanzhang's brow, and the timing was not good.
As mentioned above, when Zhou Heng asked for leave, it was just shortly after the outbreak of Hu Weiyong's case, and at this sensitive juncture, Zhou Heng's request for leave undoubtedly made Zhu Yuanzhang see that he also "wanted to rebel", and he had the idea of killing him in his heart.
In addition, Zhou Heng and Zhu Yuanzhang also have a little "festival". In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because of the long-term war, the people's lives were very difficult, so Zhu Yuanzhang reduced taxes and exemptions for the people of the world to win the hearts and minds of the people and stabilize the regime.
Later, with the stability of the regime and the relatively tight financial situation of the national treasury, Zhu Yuanzhang had the idea of raising taxes again. As a result, during the discussion, other ministers did not dare to oppose Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhou Heng cited Zhu Yuanzhang's practice as "contrary to the will of the people."
At the same time, increasing taxes now is also contrary to what one has said before (words do not count), and it is a loss of the majesty of the emperor. After being criticized by Zhou Heng, Zhu Yuanzhang could only shelve this matter, but in his heart he "remembered" Zhou Heng.
The picture returns to Zhou Heng's leave, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhou Heng said that he took a leave of absence for 6 days, but in fact he rested for 7 days, which undoubtedly did not count his words, so that Emperor Zhu felt that he was a person with a calm appearance and different appearances.
Coupled with the dangerous atmosphere created by Hu Weiyong's case, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Zhou Heng. It can be said that Zhou Heng's death was not because he had committed any major crimes, but because "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger".
Suspicious personality, perhaps related to origin
As the saying goes: "The cunning rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird hides the bow as well as possible", which is the law since ancient times. Zhu Yuanzhang killed heroes after the founding of the people's republic, and many people also classified it as this sentence, in fact, this statement is somewhat biased.
In a chaotic world, the world will be in full swing, the world will be prosperous, and the horse will rule the world, this is indeed an eternal truth, and the military generals of the prosperous world are also prone to trouble, and it is also the trend of the times to "shelve" them, but the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes is not just a sentence of "cunning rabbit dead running dog cooking".
We may be able to see a thing or two from his experience! We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang was born into poverty, grew up herding cattle for the rich, his parents and brothers starved to death, he wandered the streets, in order to survive, he also went to the temple to work as a monk.
After becoming the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps in the hearts of the common people, Zhu Yuanzhang was the son of heaven on high. However, in the eyes of those brothers who fought together, he was still the ordinary Zhu Zhongba, who had no aristocratic blood and was not sincerely convinced of him.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the temple to become a monk, especially reluctant to let people mention it, and even created a literal prison. From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang is very inferior in his heart, and this inferiority also makes his suspicions heavier than others, seeing that everyone wants to steal Daming Jiangshan.
If you want to ensure the stability of Daming Jiangshan, you can only kill these people, after all, the martial generals can help themselves to fight the world, and they can also lay a foundation for themselves, after all, they are from the same background.
In general, there is no strong background, which is Zhu Yuanzhang's "hard wound", and it is also the reason why he does not have self-confidence and does not trust others, which he is even worse than Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty.
What do you think about that?
