Zhao Yi, a literary master, said: "Gai Mingzu is a person, a sage, a haojie, and a thief, and a person who has both." It is true that The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu Zhu Yuanzhang, was a legendary hero of a generation. He was born into poverty, but he laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and he went through several twists and turns, but he enjoyed all the glory and wealth. To some extent, Zhu Yuanzhang's exploits can be called the Emperor of the Ages!
However, his fierce heart and cold-blooded ruthlessness also make people shudder. According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang once put his beloved son Zhu Tan in prison, and his daughter-in-law was also sentenced to Ling Chi. To this day, many people are deeply puzzled by this. What exactly did these two men do wrong? It would make Zhu Yuanzhang so angry.
Grassroots people are born with many tribulations, and their minds are suspicious and murderous
According to historical records, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was born in a poor peasant family, and when he was young, Zhu Yuanzhang returned cattle to the local landlords in order to survive, but although Zhu Yuanzhang was so positive and optimistic about life, he still did not get the kindness of fate. When Zhu Yuanzhang was 17 years old, a plague of locusts and plagues broke out in his hometown, and for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one left in the warm big family. Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken, and after burying the bodies of his parents, he began a life of wandering and begging alone.
In just three years, Zhuge Liang traveled all over the north and south of China's great rivers, and at the same time met many heroes Haojie, and learned about the different customs and customs of the local area. To some extent, this special experience gave Zhu Yuanzhang a wealth of life experience, and also cultivated his tenacious character. By chance, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the ranks of the peasant rebel army, and under Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous means, he did create a series of great achievements. After passing five levels and cutting six generals, Zhu Yuanzhang finally stood at the peak of power and established the Ming Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, which was run by han Chinese.
On the surface, although Zhu Yuanzhang has everything, his inner loneliness is incomprehensible to anyone. It is true that most of the rulers in history were suspicious by nature, but Zhu Yuanzhang was much more exaggerated than others. The throne made him more and more cruel, and gradually, Zhu Yuanzhang began to doubt the motives of everyone around him, and it was not long before Zhu Yuanzhang killed all his close subjects and completely turned himself into a lonely man.
In addition, although Zhu Yuanzhang was a cloth cloth and had never been familiar with any sage books, he knew the truth that it was easy to fight the country and the mountains and the difficulties of defending the country, and in order not to let the rivers and mountains that he had worked so hard to work hard be destroyed, Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly strict when teaching his children. However, although Zhu Yuanzhang taught his son in this way, there were also people who knew the law and broke the law, touching Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line, and this person was his son Zhu Tan.
Doing things out of line provokes controversy, and complaints are full of rumors
Zhu Tan was the son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Ningfei, who was a famous favorite concubine of Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, and Zhu Tan was also deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang for this reason. In addition, Zhu Tan was brilliant and brilliant, and in the two months after his birth, he was crowned king of Lu by Zhu Yuanzhang. When he was young, Zhu Tan was still intelligent and sensible, and gradually grew into an outstanding person under the guidance of his father and teachers. At the age of 14, Zhu Yuanzhang married Zhu Tan and asked him to marry Tang. This Tang clan also has a great beginning, her father is one of the founding heroes, grew up in a traditional educational environment, and Zhu Yuanzhang chose her, but also hopes that she can take good care of her son.
In the imperial family, as long as the prince becomes a relative, he can get rid of the control of his parents, and the princes and princes during the Ming Dynasty will have their own domains. However, at that time, Zhu Tan was just a 16-year-old teenager, his mind was not yet mature, but he was free from the shackles of the world, surrounded by the pursuit of adulterous villains and the lost drunken gold fans. In addition, during the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that the prince who had a fief could not handle political affairs, as long as he indulged in sound and color, so in this way, Zhu Tan's life was much more relaxed.
However, what people did not expect was that Zhu Tan was not long after he became obsessed with the art of immortality, and even sent his men to find Daoists from all sides in order to obtain the elixir. However, since Zhu Tan began to take the Dan medicine, a series of adverse symptoms have appeared. The main substance of the elixir said by the ancients is cinnabar, and cinnabar is mercury, which belongs to heavy metals.
As we all know, if there is a large amount of heavy metals in the human body, it will cause dizziness, weakness, diarrhea, and severe cases will also have symptoms of blood in the urine and sore throat. And the Daoist monks that Zhu Tan found were nothing more than the god sticks that had been abducted and deceived. In order to protect themselves, these people even came up with an evil method, that is, to use the lower bodies of 99 boys as a medicine guide, and refine the elixir to cure Zhu Tan's disease.
However, what people did not expect was that Zhu Tan actually believed it to be true, and in just a few months, he really found dozens of boys. At that time, because the people had lost their children, they were worried and afraid all day long, and they reported to the officials one after another. In order not to alarm the emperor, the local government secretly suppressed the matter, but the water can cover the boat, and it can also carry the boat. As the number of missing boys increased, this matter also reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears. Zhu Yuanzhang sent his henchmen to find out about the matter, but he did not know that the truth was related to his son. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and angry, and said above the court that he must put Zhu Tan and his wife Tang Shi to severe punishment.
It is difficult to escape the cost of capital crimes by killing a hundred li prestige
Not long after, Zhu Tan and his wife Tang Shi were arrested and returned to Nanjing, and Zhu Yuanzhang punished Zhu Tan with a criminal law that was extremely popular at that time, that is, punishment. Punishment is the removal of all the hairs of the tortured person in order to achieve the purpose of humiliating him. This kind of punishment seems insignificant today, but in ancient China it was a great shame, the body was hairy, and if his parents were pulled out of all their hairs, it would be worse than his death.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang was also extremely disappointed in his daughter-in-law, and he originally pointed out that this marriage was to hope that the daughter-in-law could discipline her son instead of herself. But the daughter-in-law knows the law and breaks the law, and conniving at her son's absurd behavior is simply shameless. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that Tang Shi and those Daoist monks who were deceitful and deceitful were all punished in a hurry, in order to warn those who had ill intentions, so that they would not dare to be abducted for some small profits. Although Zhu Yuanzhang hated his son's absurd behavior, he was also very distressed about Zhu Tan. After returning to the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang found a famous doctor in the world to treat his son, but how nai, at that time, Zhu Tan's body had accumulated a large amount of heavy metals, even if the Great Luo Immortal came, he would not be able to return to heaven.
Epilogue:
According to historical records, after Zhu Tan's death, Zhu Yuanzhang built an extremely brilliant tomb for him, and the funerary products in it were even more abundant. To this day, many historians believe that although Zhu Yuanzhang's method of handling things is fair and just on the surface, it actually has a certain selfish intention. The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, but his approach did not implement the word fairness to the end, and it also disappointed the world to the extreme.
