Four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty

The order is as follows:

1, Zhu Yuanzhang so Liao Yongzhong.

Simply put, the shorter the time you spend with yourself, the sooner you will be killed. Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to kill Liao Yongzhong on the grounds of "illegal use of dragons and phoenixes".

However, this may be only part of it. Liao Yongzhong used to "spy on me". On the issues of Han Liner and Wang Xiaoming, Liao Yongzhong made Zhu Yuanzhang take the blame. Everyone thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liao Yongzhong to kill Wang Xiaoming. Therefore, this should also be one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang executed Liao Yongzhong.

2. Hu case and aquamarine case.

Since then, it has become more famous, including the Hu case and the Aquamarine case. Take Hu as an example. At that time, the prime minister Hu was very dictatorial, and many things were done without asking Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he learned that Hu had concealed and paid tribute to Zhancheng, and the officials involved shirked their responsibilities, which further annoyed Zhu Yuanzhang and ordered a thorough investigation of the crimes of Hu and others.

This incident did not end with Hu's death. The case lasted for several years, and more and more people were killed, including Li Shanchang, who has always disputed whether he colluded with Hu.

Aquamarine box. Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy with Aquamarine's military strength and strong limelight, and Aquamarine did do something with his prestige. Zhu Yuanzhang finally moved to kill the heart, killed aquamarine and ruled the three families. People who usually associate with aquamarine also suffer the fate of property, and as many as 15000 people died before and after. Through this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang firmly grasped the general power in his own hands and completely eradicated the potential threat of the general power to the imperial power.

3. Li Shanchang, Duke of Korea.

Dingyuan people joined the Zhu Yuanzhang Rebel Army in their early years, "being a staff officer, pre-drawing, and paying the main fee." 1370, Li Shanchang was named Han Gong, left as the prime minister, and ranked first among the heroes. Zhu Yuanzhang compared him to Xiao He in his ci. Later, Li Shanchang played a game with Liu Bowen in Korea, and later elected Hu as prime minister. 1390, Zhu Yuanzhang executed 77-year-old Li Shanchang and a family of more than 70 people on the grounds of "knowing the disadvantages, not acting rashly and treating both ends with suspicion".

4. Ji 'an Hou Lu Zhongheng

Haozhou people/kloc-joined Zhu Yuanzhang Rebel at the age of 0/7. 1370, Lu Zhongheng was named Ji 'an Hou. He was once demoted to the command to catch thieves because of some things, but he soon regained his title. Zhu Yuanzhang often said to people, "This (Lu Zhongheng) made me very anxious at first." . However, when Zhu Yuanzhang punished Hu Dang in 1390, Lu Zhongheng's slaves reported that he had conspired with Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju and executed him.

5. Yan 'an Hou Zong

Haozhou, 18 years old, joined Zhu Yuanzhang Rebel Army. /kloc-in 0/370, Emperor Shengzong of Tang Dynasty was made the marquis of Yan 'an, and was knighted for "riding on a post", but was soon restored. After guarding Liaodong and patrolling Shaanxi, he was executed by the Hu Party in 1390.

6. Song Guogong was prosperous.

Dingyuan people are the first places of interest. In his early years, he married his younger brother Feng to protect himself, and later joined Zhu Yuanzhang. 1370, Shengfeng was made Duke of Song. Zhu Yuanzhang called Feng "winning the blood of brothers" in his letters patent. 1393, aquamarine was killed and Shengfeng was recalled to Beijing. Two years later (1395), Shengfeng was sentenced to death. According to the literature, "it is better to call it than to drink it, and the wine will die suddenly."

7. Fu Youde should be the Lord protector.

Yuan, a native of Dangshan, did not join the Red Scarf Army. Fu Youde worked under Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang, but he was unknown. Later, he joined Zhu Yuanzhang and was reused. 1370, Fu Youde was named as the Hou of Yingchuan. From then on, it will shine brilliantly, equating Bashu, conquering Cisse and cutting Yunnan with the first meritorious service. 1384, JinFeng Ying Guogong. 1394 Fu Youde was sentenced to death, and it is said that he committed suicide in public in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After that, there are many records that are rarely listed.

What kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang?

After reading the above, do you think Zhu Yuanzhang is really ruthless? Among the four major cases that shocked history in the early Ming Dynasty, Hu Lanyu's case was a political case in which Zhu Yuanzhang killed the founding hero. The "empty seal case" should be a case of rectifying official management, while the "Guo Huan case" is biased towards economic cases. At that time, more than150 thousand people died because of these cases. If we only look at these data, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is really a demonic emperor.

We can think of Qin Shihuang. Many of his "crimes" in history have been embellished by later generations, such as "burning books to bury Confucianism". Books were burned, but didn't many ancient books remain in the pre-Qin period? As for cheating Confucianism, that would be too exaggerated. Only killed some gossiping alchemists, but they were called pit Confucianism.

This is probably the case with Zhu Yuanzhang. You can see his portrait clearly and try to make it ugly, so that future generations really think that he has a face with a shoehorn.
