Zhu Yuanzhang's origin was very low, and after he was lucky enough to become an emperor, he was very insecure in his heart, and the first thing he did was to massacre the heroes, and almost all the heroes failed to escape the emperor's butcher's knife.
Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, Wenzhi martial arts everyone is there for all to see, to say that he is a cruel and faint emperor, of course, he is not, but to say that he is a benevolent emperor, it is too exaggerated.
The "Hu Weiyong case" made half of the Ming Dynasty soaked in blood, saying that the emperor did not need any reason to clear the obstacles, and felt that you had the ability to do it, and it was enough to fabricate a crime.
However, historians believe that Zhu Yuanzhang wantonly slaughtered the heroes for the sake of the crown prince Zhu Biao, this prince is different from Zhu Yuanzhang, kind-hearted, can not see the killing, every time Zhu Yuanzhang came out to kill, the prince came out to obstruct, saying that this matter can not be, too cruel, over time Zhu Yuanzhang was terrified, thinking that Daming Jiangshan may be ruined in the hands of his son who was indoctrinated by Confucianism.
He is too kind, kind to the point of being almost cowardly, in fact, Zhu Biao is also very smart, that is, his heart is not fierce, Zhu Yuanzhang is a bit disdainful of him.
But after all, he was the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also wanted to pass the throne to Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite emperor, Zhu Yunjiao.
Zhu Yuanzhang also used blue jade as Zhu Biao's team and vigorously cultivated, and he also let Blue Jade's niece marry Zhu Biao and make him Zhu Biao's uncle, so as to tie up Blue Jade and make him more determined to assist Zhu Biao.
Unfortunately, the relationship between Blue Jade and Zhu Biao in the later period was too good, and he was proud of his achievements, so that Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous of him, in fact, Zhu Biao did not die, Blue Jade did not have to die, Zhu Biao died, Blue Jade must die, because Zhu Yunjiao could not stop him.
If there was an excellent military team of the blue jade commanding the imperial court, where would there be room for Zhu Di to rebel? Zhu Di is not an opponent either. Zhu Yuanzhang was too slaughtering heroes, and thought that after cleaning up Zhu Biao's martial clique, Zhu Yunjiao would sit back and relax, who knew that "if there is a benefit, there must be a disadvantage", Zhu Yunjiao also lost the biggest "protective umbrella", and the throne became more precarious.
Among the many heroes, almost no one can retreat completely, only one person has a good ending, he is xu da, the first hero of the Ming Dynasty and the founding six dukes of the Ming Dynasty.
Folklore zhu Yuanzhang has always wanted to kill Xu Da, so he gave Xu Da a steamed goose feast, Xu Da said with tears: "It seems that I will not live tomorrow", and the result was fulfilled.
The goose is a hair object, Xu Da suffers from back gangrene, eating goose has great toxicity, but because Xu Da did not dare to disobey the holy will, he ate goose meat with tears, and soon died of poison.
But the credibility of this rumor is not high, purely smeared, because it comes from a notebook novel, which is itself a "wild history", plus it is not logical.
Later, Ming historians in our country said that although Xu Da had made great contributions, he never formed a party for personal gain, nor did he exceed his duty. Xu Da's descendants were not arrogant, so Zhu Yuanzhang had no reason to kill Xu Da.
Moreover, if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to assassinate the heroes, he would also send imperial doctors to attack, and he would not use such inferior means, let alone make everyone known.
And steaming the goose will make a martial general full of strength poisoned to death, which is unreliable and has no scientific basis.
Xu Da is a person who is proficient in the art of war, he is very clever, and very decisive, when he gives orders in the army, "orders are not two", which shows how much this person is in line with the temperament of a military general, but in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is silent, cautious as if he can't speak, Zhu Yuanzhang no matter what he says, he uses the shortest answer, never say a word of nonsense, which shows Xu Da's caution as a person.
"Evil comes from the mouth", Xu Da knows that his merits are too great, and if he wants to save himself, he must be careful in words and deeds. Although Xu Da is Zhu Yuanzhang's hair small, but Zhu Yuanzhang has changed, he no longer cares about small emotions, there is no true feeling in his heart, and he can ask for the life of a hero with a single sentence.
Military experts can play chess, and most of them are good at playing Go, Xu Da can win all people, but zhu Yuanzhang, once Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and said, you let me do this again, even if you are "the crime of deception", Xu Da only promises.
As a result, Xu Da still lost, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry, Xu Da said: "Your Majesty don't be angry, look at the words on the chessboard", Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, the two words "Long live" on the chessboard, and the anger suddenly disappeared.
When Xu Da was pacifying the north, Zhu Yuanzhang once pretended to kill him, and everyone was shocked left and right, Li Shanchang knelt down and begged for the emperor's favor, zhu Yuanzhang let Xu Da go, some people said that Zhu Yuanzhang was "killing one to make an example", as a show, but in fact, whether Zhu Yuanzhang was really doing it in a fake play, none of us know.
However, we carefully look at the time when Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes, and the time of Xu Da's death was Eighteen Years of Hongwu, which is very intriguing. And Zhu Yuanzhang first killed Hu Weiyong and then cleaned up the Huaixi heroes, if he did not have the idea of killing Xu Da, this seems to make no sense.
It is a terrible thing to be a hero under Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xu Da, who can die well, can be said to be very lucky.
