In history, Zhu Yuanzhang was famous for his cruelty and viciousness. Many scholars call him the butcher emperor, which is no exaggeration. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, heroes and literati died inexplicably under his butcher's knife; Even some women who are far away from politics are bullied and disabled by him. Among these unscrupulous women, there are village girls, talented folk women, prostitutes in brothels, subordinate aunts, wives who have made contributions, and Zhu Yuanzhang's own women. Looking through historical materials, Zhu Yuanzhang's record of killing women is shocking. -"Ning Yue has a daughter, Lu" talks about astronomy, telling disasters and confusing people. I thought the people were in chaos, and my life was in the city. "("A Record of Ming Taizu ")-"Mao personally levied five continents, and a nephew entered a woman, about twenty years old, and could write poetry. Mao said, "If I take the world, I will try my best to punish the city with women as my heart." ("The Deeds of the Beginning of the Country")-"Wenzhong stayed in Yanzhou and took the prostitute Han's home for the night. When Mao knew it, he sent someone to punish Han. " (Deeds of the Early Founding of the People's Republic of China)-"Give a banquet to entertain friends, order Guozhen Ye to accompany them to drink, and match 10 many geisha. Taizu ordered the official to watch, and the later Guo Zhen ordered the geisha to take off the soap crown, wipe her hands and sit down, dressed luxuriantly. Mao was furious, and the strong man arrested the national treasure, locked it in the stable with the prostitute, and the prostitute cut her nose. " ("The Founding of the People's Republic of China")-"The Taste of Mao" was listened to. It turned out that a female monk lured the housekeeper in Beijing, and Gao Hua and Hu Dahai's wife worshipped two monks and practiced the Golden Heaven teaching method. Mao was furious and threw the two women and the monk into the river. "("the deeds of the early days of the country ")-"Saint Benjamin Chang Kaiping, spring childless, given two maids, his wife fierce dare not royal. ..... when the Pope asked him, he didn't dare to answer ... He ordered Lux to dismember his wife and give it to the hero, and wrote, "The flesh of a shrew." ("The Biography of Longxing Ci")-"Mrs. Wang of Wuning, Zhongshan, Xie (referring to Zhang), has extraordinary brawn and often weighs a hundred kilograms with iron, and goes with the army. After Mao boarded Dabao, Zhongshan was blocked, and every time she saw the Queen Mother, Mrs. Xie was unfair. There is a saying that' my home is not as good as yours'. ..... One day, I called a banquet in the inner court, Zhongshan and Yan, and ordered the warriors to kill Mrs. Xie at the first time. " (The Story of the North Window) In addition to killing women who have nothing to do with ......................................................................................................................................................................., Zhu Yuanzhang is also extremely cruel and despicable to his own women. After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, beautiful women were widely accumulated like emperors in previous dynasties, and a large number of young girls entered the harem. In order to restrain the normal physiological needs of ladies-in-waiting, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them to be claustrophobic like "* * *" men, so that "women often die more". This way of treating maids like animals is extremely abnormal. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also killed those sinful women who did menial work in Huan Yi hospital. From Zhu Yuanzhang's side, the "Kingsguard" was in Ben's hand, and the Chronicle recorded that "more than 5,000 women were skinned to store grass for public display", which could not help but remind people of the word "frightening". The ladies-in-waiting have suffered so much, and the lives of those concubines are on the line. Maybe something will make Zhu Yuanzhang pick up the butcher knife. Princess B gave birth to Judy one month in advance because of premature delivery, so that Zhu Yuanzhang was punished by "iron skirt" and burned alive if he ate flies; In a rage, Zhu Yuanzhang convicted and executed Guo Ningfei, Li Xianfei and Ge at the same time. Three bodies were packed in a big laundry list and buried outside the emergency exit. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and his anger eased a little. He wanted to bury the three men separately, but the three bodies had rotted together, so he had to set up two mounds beside them as the graves of three concubines. In the 14th year of Hongwu (138 1), there was a scandal in the palace. Someone salvaged a premature baby in the Yu He River, apparently thrown away after the harem concubines aborted. Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage when he heard the news. He suspected that the widow Hu Chongfei had done it for no reason, killed her himself and dumped her outside the city. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Hu Chongfei was nearly fifty years old and was unlikely to do such a ridiculous thing, so he named her Princess Zhao. Although things have passed, the mystery of Yu He's abandoned baby case has remained in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), it was reported that Hu Mei and her son-in-law were secretly in contact with the imperial court, which aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion of Hu Shunfei. As a result, Hu Shunfei became another victim of abortion. Many concubines of Zhu Yuanzhang were executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and some concubines were even thrown into the wilderness like dead dogs and cats. Although some concubines were lucky enough to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang through his life, they also came to the end of their lives. Li Xianfei is smart, handsome, well-read, courteous and honest, calculating, clean and neat, and very statesmanlike. She was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang as the Ban Jieyu of the Han Dynasty. When Judy was the prince of Yan, she sent someone to secretly contact Li Xianfei, hoping that she could persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to make him a prince, but Li Xianfei sternly refused. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu (1398), Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously ill. He was worried that Li Xianfei, a talented woman, would follow in the footsteps of Wu Zetian, usurp Zhu's country and commit suicide to avoid future troubles. Zhu Yuanzhang killed women when he was alive, and pulled a group of women cruelly when he died. According to "Ming History", "Taizu collapsed, and many imperial secretaries died. "When Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously ill, Weng Fei and Li waited on Tang. Zhu Yuanzhang loathed to give up these two beautiful young concubines, so he took their hands, gave them a white practice and ordered them to commit suicide. On his deathbed, Zhu Yuanzhang also announced: "Anyone buried in the Imperial Palace will be promoted by his father and brother and passed down from generation to generation. "Some imperial concubines can't live any longer, knowing that the sea of suffering is endless, and they would rather die than earn an industry for their families, and were forced to die for Zhu Yuanzhang. According to Zheng Xiao's Jin Yan in Ming Dynasty and Mao Qiling's Notes on General History in early Qing Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, there were as many as 46 concubines buried in the Ming Tombs. More than 600 years have passed, and the image left by Zhu Yuanzhang to future generations is a corporal who is polite and waiting for the opportunity; Expel the Tatars and restore China; Great talent, unify the whole country; Make great efforts to govern, be diligent and honest; Severe punishment and strict law, ruling the country with righteousness and virtue; Be tough and destroy the hero. But through these scattered materials, people can see the other side of Zhu Yuanzhang's almost crazy killing behavior towards women, and deepen some perceptual knowledge of Zhu Yuanzhang's character and style.
