There are many beautiful ladies in Zhu Yuanzhang's harem, so there are also many father-in-law. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the whole family of his father-in-law, and this father-in-law was Hu Mei. Hu Mei is a special person, and he really does not rely on his own daughter. In his own right, he was a founding hero and made great contributions to the establishment of neutrality in Daming. Even if it was not Zhu Yuanzhang's father-in-law, the family was still Hou Ye. Then, since Hu Mei also has a lot of merit, or Zhu Yuanzhang's father-in-law, why did he do this?
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's account of this matter, he killed Hu Mei's family because Hu Mei violated the palace prohibition system and entered the harem to visit his daughter. In fact, this matter is problematic if carefully considered.
Zhu Yuanzhang's series of practices after establishing Daming were very harsh. He strictly forbade the harem to interfere in political affairs, and no man could enter the harem at will, and Hu Mei was no exception. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was a very cruel emperor, and he also founded the Jinyi Wei, the purpose of which was to monitor these ministers around him, and the emperor's relatives and relatives were among them. Not to mention hu mei, such a father-in-law, Hu Mei, who has been with him for a long time, is not a fool. Therefore, it was difficult for him to enter the harem without Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, and besides, was there no one to take care of the harem? As long as Zhu Yuanzhang said a word, did these guards listen to Zhu Yuanzhang or Listen to Hu Mei? Moreover, Hu Mei's girl has not yet reached the point of lawlessness in the harem.
Well, in this case, Hu Mei is more stupid than a fool. You must know that when Hu Mei died, Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to kill the heroes, and he did not have to and did not dare to act recklessly.
In fact, to tell the truth, the key to Zhu Yuanzhang's doing so lies in Hu Mei's other identity hero. This is just a typical example of "a cunning rabbit dead lackey cooking a bird and hiding a good bow".
Judging from the hu weiyong case, the blue jade case, and other major cases and unjust cases involving the founding heroes, Hu Mei is only an unjust case. At this time, a person like Hu Mei, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, is no longer a hero, but a heavy minister with a huge threat, so in this case, Zhu Yuanzhang must be eliminated. After all, he had an inextricable relationship with the harem, and when the time came, in case of an unexpected situation, Zhu Yuanzhang had no place to regret it.
Therefore, this can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who is close to human feelings, and in the face of power, any personal feelings are already minimal.
