The Huanghuang Jingluo Xing has a saying: "The Five Punishments of Huaiyin; the Bird Vaults; the Preservation of The Full Name; and only the Sub-Room." "In the great cause of the founding of the country, many emperors have done this kind of bird-to-bow hiding, such as Song Taizu's cup of wine to release the military power, Liu Bang's ruthlessness towards Han Xin, and even more ruthlessly, zhu Yuanzhang and his founding heroes, almost none of whom survived.
And the reason why they do this is because their suspicions are too serious, not only because they are worried that someone will assassinate them, but also because they will plot to seize their thrones. Because imperial power is supreme after all, everyone wants to stand in the most admired place. Ordinary people's families may not have such thoughts, but those who are high-ranking officials, nobles, and extremely popular subjects may not be able to say, such as the prime minister and the founding marshal, these are the objects of the emperor's suspicions. Especially when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he directly canceled the prime minister's own approval until late at night, and the palace maid brought a bowl of hot porridge, and Zhu Yuanzhang actually ordered the porridge to stay, and the people were beheaded.
Emperors in history are almost all rich and noble people, but there are two exceptions, Liu Bang was only a small pavilion chief before becoming emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a poor boy before this, they were weak, so the possibility of being overthrown was higher, even if they had a group of people around them who fought with him in the world, they were still unwilling to believe them after becoming emperors.
As a cow herding baby, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not have enough to eat when he was a child, but also was exploited by landlords and others. What is even more tragic is that his relatives have also died one after another, and he can only rely on begging to make a living, and later in order to survive, he even became a monk, you know, in ancient times, he attached great importance to heirs, and being a monk meant that he would not marry his daughter-in-law, let alone have children. Although he was a monk, Zhu Yuanzhang's life was not very peaceful, and at that time, it was in the chaotic world of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to survive. It was not until 1352, when he joined Guo Zixing's Red Turban Army, that fate began to take a turn.
Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work on the battlefield, he also discovered his military talent, especially with the help of Chang Yuchun, Xu Da and others, he got rid of the control of the Yuan Dynasty in Jiangnan and then broke the Yuan Capital, establishing the Ming Dynasty in 1368. From a small beggar to the head of a country, Zhu Yuanzhang has experienced too much in the middle, so even if he is also an emperor, it is difficult for anyone to understand Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings.
After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was also a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people, but his suspicions about those founding ministers became more and more serious, and he not only cancelled the official position of prime minister and put all state affairs on himself, but he also killed all his founding heroes in various ways. Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang was still suspicious, and he did not even let go of a small palace girl.
At that time, there was a small palace girl who hoped to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's favor in order to fly Huang Tengda, but when she brought the hot porridge to Zhu Yuanzhang' face, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, and he left the bowl of hot porridge behind, and the palace girl was beheaded. Why is that? Zhu Yuanzhang believes that the people around him are all selected layer by layer, and there can be no suspicious people near him, even if it is a close father-in-law, he must keep a distance from himself, but it is obvious that this palace girl has exceeded such a distance, so he was treated as an assassin by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the bowl of porridge she brought was naturally poisonous.
And even if this palace girl was not poisoned, she must have come here to deliver porridge for a purpose, and the pusher behind the little palace girl was the person he was most afraid of. And once this little palace girl dies, whether it is the pusher behind her, or the harem is similar to this kind of person who wants to fly up the branch and become a phoenix, he will be jealous. Therefore, for this little palace girl, he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
After the death of the little palace girl, Zhu Yuanzhang still ordered someone to investigate the background of the little palace girl, and found that she actually only gave all the money she had saved to the guards outside the door, and the guards outside the door also put the palace maid in after checking that the porridge was not poisonous. And the reason why they let her in was because they felt that if this little palace girl flew yellow and tengda, they could also eat and drink spicy, but they didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was so suspicious of the disease, and they also followed the little palace girl and died.
From this point of view, although Zhu Yuanzhang rose up at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, unified the chaotic world, and established the Ming Dynasty, his merits cannot be said to be insignificant, but at the same time, he also left an indelible stain because of his indiscriminate killing of innocents and suspicious loyal subjects. Although later people will praise him, they will not forget that he was a very suspicious emperor, so it seems that this is already a stain that he cannot erase in his life.

China has a long history, and there are many emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang who established new dynasties, but few have the same experience as him, which may be the reason why he is more suspicious than other emperors. When he got the right, he knew that the right was not easy to come by, so he was unwilling to let go, and he always couldn't rest assured of the people around him, which showed that the right would really make people not recognize it.
