A good minister can be suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang, let alone a minister with problems of his own. Such a minister is simply suicidal. Was there really such a minister in Zhu Yuanzhang's period? Die? Minister, but when this minister was executed, Zhu Yuanzhang was not enthroned, he was just the king of Wu, and this man was Zhang Chang.
Zhang Chang was a senior official of the Ministry of Finance of Yuan Shundi in the late Yuan Dynasty. His talent is outstanding, and he is highly valued by Yuan Shundi. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng and others launched a series of rebellions and competed for territory, which was likely to replace them. Yuan Shundi quickly sent Zhang Chang to be a lobbyist, trying to get Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender and give up the rebellion, so that you can get peace without a single soldier. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shundi's move was a big mistake. Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not give up the uprising, but also left the eloquent Zhang Changjiang with him.
Zhu Yuanzhang made a good abacus. He has the ambition to be emperor. As a senior minister in Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Chang was familiar with laws, regulations, classics and other aspects. With such a person around, he can play a great role in the initial creation of this country, and Zhang Chang has lived up to his expectations. All the rules and regulations are perfect and the work is carried out in an orderly way. Besides, Zhang Chang is very clean. Unlike other extravagant officials, Zhang Chang always wears shabby clothes. Zhu Yuanzhang praised Zhang Chang's ability and honesty, and he slowly became proud of himself. It's really wise to leave Zhang Chang.
But Zhang Chang is not happy. His mind is in the north. He was unhappy because he was an old minister of the Yuan Dynasty, but most of the Yuan Dynasty was still in the hands of Yuan Shundi. So Zhang Chang still wanted to be loyal to the Yuan Dynasty. He once said to people close to him: If I get my money back, I still have money. ? It is difficult to judge whether this sentence is really what he said, but in fact, his situation is not good. On the one hand, he really cared about the Yuan Dynasty, on the other hand, he did a lot for Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was impossible to win the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang completely.
Zhang Chang secretly hoped that the Yuan Dynasty could quell the rebellion, so he returned to the Yuan Dynasty. To this end, he began to pit Zhu Yuanzhang step by step. Zhang Chang encouraged some ministers to praise Zhu Yuanzhang and advised him to eat, drink and be merry in time. Zhu Yuanzhang is not stupid. He said to Liu Bowen? It's for Zhao Gao. ? When Zhao Gao assisted Qin Ershi in his succession, that's how he raised the little emperor. Liu Bowen really felt something was wrong with Zhang Chang. Just because he always wears old clothes, he can see that it is unusual. It is indeed an advantage that a person is not extravagant, but if he always likes to wear clothes of the former dynasty, it is not nostalgia, which means that Zhang Chang's heart is still in the Yuan Dynasty, so this person can't stay. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was now on the alert, Liu Bowen was relieved and persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to get rid of Zhang Chang.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that Zhang Chang was indeed a courtier with extraordinary ability, and it would be a pity to be executed. Just a little reprimand leaked this page. But Zhang Chang didn't stop his plan. When did Zhu Yuanzhang order the compilation of Daming Law? Persuade people to attach importance to criminal law, break the merger house and learn more from Chen Limin. ? In order to make Zhu Yuanzhang lose popularity, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen to Zhang Chang, but Zhu Yuanzhang insisted? Qin, T-shirt, is this a punishment? .
Zhang Chang's plan to revive the Yuan Dynasty seems to have no effect. At this time, Zhang Chang was also afraid. It happened that an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty came to Nanjing. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang actually planned to let Zhang Chang return to the Yuan Dynasty, but it was destroyed by Zhang Chang himself. He asked the envoy to bring his watch to Yuan Shundi and asked about his son. Coincidentally, it happened that Zhang Chang. Being in the south of the Yangtze River, my heart is in the north. ?
Needless to say, Zhang Chang's thoughts were all in the Yuan Dynasty. If you keep it, it will be useless to Zhu Yuanzhang. If it is back to the Yuan Dynasty, it will definitely be bad for Zhu Yuanzhang's official career. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the execution of Zhang Chang. Interestingly, the next year, Zhu Yuanzhang entered the Yuan Dynasty, and then the Yuan Dynasty perished. Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country in Nanjing.
