"I am a commoner in Huaiyou, what can the world do to me?" When a common man rises up, there is no suspicion of relying on power; to eliminate violence for the people, there is no intention of foreshadowing the divine weapon.
Zhu Chongba, who was born into a poor peasant family in Haozhou, was appointed by the God of Destiny with his extraordinary talent and became a shining orb in the long history.
He broke through the limitations of a powerful family, from a monk who wandered around begging for food, to the temple step by step, and became the emperor with the most humble background; he broke the fixed pattern of historical battles and became the first, He was also the only emperor to complete the unification from south to north. Since the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, it is no coincidence that the book has been written
"Since the three generations of China, the most righteous people have been the Han and Ming Dynasties." They do not rely on ancestors or inheritance. These two people are clear and true. A country conquered with bare hands. Coincidentally, Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors lived in Peixian County, and it was not until his father's generation that he moved to Haozhou. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was a native of Peixian County. The two people can be considered to have the same roots.
Zhu Yuanzhang compares himself to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. In addition to imitating his recruitment of talents, knowing people and assigning them well, Zhu Yuanzhang even experienced a very similar scene at the Hongmen Banquet that Liu Bang attended.
In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang rose rapidly and occupied Hao, Si, Chu and 4 states. Among the Red Scarf Army, the original general Sun Deya was afraid of his growth and wanted to get rid of him quickly. He ordered someone to write a letter and invite Zhu Yuanzhang to a banquet. During the banquet, Sun Deya ordered his general Wu Tong to dance with his sword. Wu Tong understood and drew his sword and stabbed Zhu Yuanzhang directly in the throat. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was prepared and escaped safely. Once upon a time, "Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with the intention of Pei Gong", and at this time Wu Tong was also dancing with the sword with the intention of Minggong.
Similar origins and the same destiny. After Zhu Yuanzhang established himself as King of Wu, he marched westward and led his army upstream. When he fought against Chen Youliang, he once wrote a poem: The fragrance of clover at the head of Madu River is like clouds. The rain passes over Xiaoxiang. The east wind awakens the heroic dream, not in Xianyang but in Luoyang.
In the battle between Chu and Han, the Battle of Chenggao, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, occupied Luoyang, defeated his opponent Xiang Yu, and finally won the world. Now Zhu Yuanzhang has overcome all obstacles, regained Yanyun, and driven out the barbarians. He has passed the "Xianyang" level, and only "Luoyang" is left. Facing his "Xiang Yu" - Chen Youliang, he hopes to be able to dominate the world like Liu Bang. Rebuild rivers and mountains. Safeguard the people of the country and be friendly to neighboring countries
Throughout the past emperors, none have been luxurious and long-lasting. So Yang Jian "lived and had fun, and was frugal." He was not only strict with himself, but also ordered and prohibited, so he changed it from top to bottom. "Between Kaihuang and Renshou, the husband did not wear silk or silk, nor any ornaments of gold and jade, but his regular clothes were made of silk."
As an emperor, it is commendable to practice frugality, but "it is not as good as maintaining it and making it abundant" It's hard to keep it in check."
We need to be moderate in everything and treat others with generosity.
However, Yang Jian only judged and inspected his sons based on whether they were thrifty. The eldest son Yang Yong was deposed from the crown prince because of his "increasing luxury" and "many favors". Although Yang Yong was tolerant and kind-hearted. , quite political views.
The third son, Yang Jun, was dismissed from his official post because he "managed the palace in a prosperous manner and was extremely luxurious and luxurious", even though Yang Jun was "well-known for his kindness and kindness".
The second son, Yang Guang, deceived Yang Jian because he was good at pretentiousness and seeking fame. He became more favored and favored by his mother, Empress Dugu, and was made the prince. The fate of the Sui Dynasty was buried at this moment. A thunder bomb was dropped that shattered the body and destroyed the country and the family. In the late Yuan Dynasty, the politics were dark, the people were in dire straits, the people were resentful, and uprisings were insurrectionary. It was in this context that Zhu Yuanzhang broke through the siege and changed dynasties, so he knew deeply that "the consequences of emergency are "If the people are anxious, there will be chaos; if the people are poor, they will be separated; if the people are rich, they will be close." "If the people cannot live in peace, how can the king live in peace?"
The spring snow was falling, and it lasted for ten days. Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the hardships he had suffered in the past when he lived in a humble place with little food and clothing. He must have been lonely and old in the capital, and now he must be miserable and helpless, so he issued an edict to help the poor. And so on and so forth. Precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the fields, he was more considerate of the people's sentiments and provided for the people's livelihood.
During the Yuan Dynasty, people were divided into four classes. Song people and Han people were at the lowest level and were exploited and suppressed. Zhu Yuanzhang once wrote a poem: "China is in the mountains and rivers, and the sun and moon will reopen in the Song Dynasty!" He really reopened the "Great Song Dynasty". After the Han people regained the sovereignty of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang used his broad mind to tolerate the world. If you can embody the goodness of God and harmonize people and gods, you will receive endless wealth." And "all the people in Mongolia are my sons, and if they have talents, they can be promoted together." This is a true way of repaying evil with kindness and embracing all rivers. Withdrawing the prime minister and taking over the power, he diligently settled the case himself
The country was initially determined and the country was peaceful and the people were safe. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Prime Minister Hu Weiyong to stay in Beijing to handle military and political affairs, while he took a dragon boat up the river. I express my love for landscapes and write poems and rhymes. On the way, he wrote "Jiangliu Ode": "The Yangtze River is swaying, and the green water is long. Looking up from a distance, the sun is long and the sky is fighting with color. Lowering your head and looking closer, the sun blends together to compete for glory... This river is far away and can accommodate thousands of streams. , the general holds the post of three stations; he is far away from the sea, and he has the power of the prime minister."
The poem reveals his concern about the power of the prime minister. When he returned to the court after returning from his tour, Zhu Yuanzhang quietly came to the prime minister's house. , I saw busy traffic and bustling streets. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became murderous, implicated the Hu Party, and destroyed nine ethnic groups. From then on, he dismissed the post of prime minister and established five offices and six ministries to handle the common affairs of the world, and everything was under the control of the imperial court.
As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang not only seized the prime minister's job, but also monopolized the power. He even decided the case personally, discerning every detail and not neglecting the minor powers. According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote 192 judgments, and he personally interrogated countless cases.
He was very hands-on, working day and night, not only reading memorials in person, but also paying private visits incognito; He wrote a fable - "The Theory of Diligence and Lazyness": "In the past, there were Diligent and Lazy, who lived in the same hometown. Their ambitions were the same, but their conduct was different." It is reasonable and interesting, and is used to spur oneself and educate future generations. For a commoner emperor who was born in a rural area and had only read briefly for two years, Zhu Yuanzhang, who never stopped writing, was indeed diligent and admirable. Punishing corruption for the sake of the country, killing ministers to protect the dynasty
Although he ascended to the throne of God and could control the wind and rain and enjoy all the glory, as the son of a farmer, Zhu Yuanzhang still maintained his frugal and simple nature. He ordered that all items used in chariots and chariots should be replaced with gold ornaments, and they should be replaced with copper. They should not waste people or money and pursue luxury. He practices it personally and is strict with himself and even more strict with the officials.
When he was young, Zhu Yuanzhang was oppressed by corrupt officials and felt resentful. He knew very well that when corrupt officials oppressed the people, the people would rise up to resist and overthrow the dynasty he had worked so hard to establish. In order to protect the country and the country, he strictly enacted laws. Forbidden, sin will not be forgiven. In the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, the "Kongyin Case" involved many people, and everyone was punished one by one, and no one was spared. In Zhu Yuanzhang's case, there is no law but punishment, only punishment. His vigorous and resolute actions, regardless of the cost, made the number of honest officials during the Hongwu period account for two-thirds of the entire Ming Dynasty.
There are few objections to punishing corrupt officials, but massacring heroes has become the biggest stain in his life. His label of "bloodthirsty" has never been removed.
When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked. After the world was settled, Zhu Yuanzhang extended his butcher knife to the brothers who fought side by side in the past. Except for those who died of illness early or died in battle, almost none of the founding members died well!
The prince died young and the emperor's grandson was young. In order to ensure that the dynasty would not fall into the hands of others, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes and generals. However, things are unpredictable. He guarded against outsiders, but neglected his son. During the Battle of Jingnan, King Zhu Di of Yan rebelled, but at this time there was no one available in the court. Perhaps, as long as the Zhu family dynasty remains, this is the best ending Zhu Yuanzhang can accept.
In 1398 AD, the 71-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill in the West Palace and died suddenly.
The time goes back to January 4, 1368 AD. The 41-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits. He wore a crown, a dragon, and court boots. Facing the civil and military officials in the hall, He playfully composed a poem: The rooster crows once and pouts once, and the rooster crows twice and pouts twice. Call out the Fusang Sun three times and sweep away the remaining stars and the dawning moon.
With the vulgarity of the countryside and the spirit of an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was just such a beggar emperor, breaking rules and stirring up heaven and earth.
I am a commoner in Huaiyou, how can the world compare to me?
