In the thirteenth year of Hongwu (1380), Zhu Yuanzhang completed the liquidation of Hu Weiyong, the left chancellor, and killed more than 30,000 people before and after. However, although Zhu Yuanzhang deeply hated Hu Weiyong for his power, he actually did not look up to him very much, in his opinion, Hu Someone did not have many pounds and two, and he was not worthy of being his opponent, and the person behind him who really had enough weight was the person behind him.
The man behind this Hu Weiyong is Li Shanchang.
But Li Shanchang was an old fox, and in the "Hu Prison", he did not let Zhu Yuanzhang catch a strong handle, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only wait patiently and wait for him to make a mistake.
This waited, just waited for 10 years.
In the twenty-third year of Hongwu (1390), Mr. Li Shanchang planned to build a house.
At this time, he was no longer the prime minister of the world, and there was not much strong labor under his hands, so he started The idea of Tang He.
Tang He is a soldier, everything may be lacking, that is, there is no shortage of people, he is Also Li Shanchang's fellow countryman, the relationship between the two has always been good, so Old Li decided to borrow 300 soldiers from Tang He to help, he felt that this busy Tang He would definitely help.
Li Shanchang guessed well, Tang He was indeed willing to sell his face, and happily borrowed 300 soldiers for him, but he forgot that Tang He was a cautious and almost timid person, and it was impossible to help him carry things.
It was this negligence that became the penultimate straw that crushed Li Shanchang.
After lending the soldiers to Li Shanchang, Tang He thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
Although the 300 soldiers could not do anything, in the end they belonged to the transfer of troops, and it was a problem to conceal boss Zhu, so he went into the palace overnight to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for guilt.
Facts have proved that Tang He's judgment of Zhu Yuanzhang was correct, and although he did not cure Tang He of his crime, he killed Li Shanchang.
At this time, Li Shanchang made a second mistake, his relative Ding Bin was sentenced to exile for breaking the law, and Li Shanchang immediately wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang to intercede for his hardcore.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a very suspicious person, he thought, you Li Shanchang is not unaware, Lao Tzu has never been affectionate, how dare you come to intercede? Is there anything catty in there?
So he ordered Ding Bin to be imprisoned and tortured to see if he had any handle on Old Li.
In this trial, there is really a problem.
According to Ding Bin's account, Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi participated in Hu Weiyong's rebellion.
Therefore, Li Cunyi was also arrested and quickly confessed Li Shanchang's "famous words".
According to his account, when he conspired with Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang neither dissuaded nor reported it, but said a word without being salty or light:
"Ru and other self-made".
This sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang sentence Li Shanchang to death in his heart, and when to cut him was only a technical question.
This was not only perceived by the ministers of the DPRK, but also by the slaves of Li Shanchang's family.
After careful analysis and discussion, they determined that old Li would undoubtedly die, and only by "destroying his relatives in great righteousness" and standing up to accuse Li Shanchang could they avoid being implicated by him.
Therefore, these slaves complained to Zhu Yuanzhang that Li Shanchang, a landlord and old man, had been oppressing them for a long time, and they also had the audacity to cooperate with Hu Weiyong in rebellion.
They said that they had noses and eyes, such as Hu Weiyong passed through the palace in a certain month of a certain year, and conspired with Li Shanchang.
To tell the truth, this confession is quite insulting to people's intelligence, if the details of Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong's rebellion are clearly grasped by any one of them, these two people are considered to be white.
But this is not important, anyway, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang wants, Hu Weiyong has already grown grass on the grave, it is impossible to mention Li Shanchang's defense.
After Li Shanchang's house slaves made a start, the officials in the imperial court also automatically followed up, maintaining a formation, and no one could be left behind.
Of course, with the experience and IQ of these old jianghu, it will not be said that Li Shanchang participated in the rebellion. After all, at this time, "Hu Prison" has been 10 years old, and at this time, it is said that Li Shanchang is an accomplice, and zhu Yuanzhang is not sure that Zhu Yuanzhang will come to a sentence: "Why didn't You report it back then?" ", that's not a good thing.
Anyway, there are many crimes, as long as you are willing to think, there is always one that is suitable for Li Shanchang.
Therefore, they quickly listed all kinds of crimes for Li Shanchang, all-encompassing, and it was simply difficult to read.
In the end, Qin Tianjian, who could not be beaten by eight rods, also ran out to join in the fun, exerting his expertise and watching li Shanchang's death date.
They said that there had been a star change in the sky recently, which was not very auspicious, "when the minister moved." ”
This was a perfect reason, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the time was ripe, and it was time to send Li Shanchang on the road.
A few days later, Li Shanchang walked to the execution ground, this year, he was 77 years old.
Li Shanchang was the Ming Dynasty and the last prime minister in Chinese history, and after him, the position was completely abolished.
Was he involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion?
The answer is of course no, just as the kingdom of Yubu Langzhong said in the second year after his execution, Li Shanchang was already an extremely popular subject, and the best result was to rebel with Hu Weiyong, what reason did he have to do so?
In fact, the phrase "Ru and others do it for themselves" has already shown Li Shanchang's bottom line, and his final death and discredit are nothing more than "wanting to add to the sin, there is no excuse for it." Therefore, the rebellion is really a high-risk life, not only nine deaths in the process, even if it is done, it is difficult to escape the fate of rabbit dead dog cooking.
From this point of view, Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release the military power is very benevolent.
