It is said that during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Pu was already a very honest and frank person, and he often remonstrated with Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang often argued with him until his ears were red. Although this made Zhu Yuanzhang very unhappy, this Wang Pu is a talented person. Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him, he was reluctant to part with Wang Pu.
Until one day, Wang Pu spoke out again, which made Zhu Yuanzhang furious and unbearable. In the afternoon, he sent someone directly to drag him down for questioning. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had calmed down when Wang Pu was taken away and knew that he had done something wrong. But Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, and he couldn't pull his face down to admit his mistake, so he asked Wang Pu if he had admitted his mistake. But this Wang Pu is very upright and refuses to go down the steps given by Zhu Yuanzhang. Wang Pu directly asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Since your Majesty thinks I am guilty, why should you pardon me?" If your majesty thinks I'm innocent, then why kill me? " Zhu Yuanzhang was even more annoyed after hearing this sentence, so he killed Wang Pu.
Wang pu wrote a poem about Jueming when he was beheaded. Later, the beheading officer also mentioned it when he told Zhu Yuanzhang to call me back. Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the poem told by the prison officer, and remembered that he killed a loyal minister like Wang Pu in a fit of pique today. He was even more annoyed in his heart and directly killed these prison officers.
So Zhu Yuanzhang killed the executioner, not because he wanted to hide anything, but because he was so angry that he killed a loyal minister like Wang Pu, and he felt guilty. At best, these executioners are Zhu Yuanzhang's vent bag.
