Not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a bitter cold and had no food at home. He went to be a monk for a while in his teens. In fact, he is a "legal" beggar. It can be seen that although Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are both civilians, they are not honest farmers. Both of them have seen a little bit of "the world" and a little bit of hooliganism and heroism. Otherwise, how could they come out to see the world? In fact, isn't this the case with Li Zicheng and Zhang? But this is another topic. Let's talk about it later.
Some people will say that Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms, are not also grassroots? Actually, it is not! Liu Xiu was an imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, and his father Liu Qin was also a county magistrate. Liu Xiu is an authentic revolutionary cadre family background. What about Liu Bei? Although he was so poor that he could only "make up seats and sell shoes", his ancestor was Liu Sheng, the son of Hanjing, the king of Zhongshan. Therefore, Liu Bei is also a descendant of a real "revolutionary martyr".
At that time, it was almost impossible to pretend to be a royal family, let alone an uncle today. Moreover, Liu Bei's early family was not poor. He went abroad to study at the age of fifteen, studied under the same clan Liu Deran and Gongsun Zan Bai Luzhi, and became friends with Gongsun Zan, which shows that his noble family style is still there. Without this capital and experience, Liu Bei could not have reached the peak in politics in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. I found that Liu Xiu, Liu Bei, Sui Wendi, Li Yuan and Zhao Kuangyin, who were born in a royal or noble family, were very polite to the founding fathers. Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from common people, killed almost all the heroes.
Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, is known as "the pinnacle of China emperors". Literary talent, looks and personality have all reached an unparalleled level. "In fact, this is really not a compliment. Liu Xiu's greatest feature is being kind to others, loving people like children, and being really kind to heroes. On the issue of how to treat the founding heroes, Liu Xiu did the best. Treat the founding heroes with a high standard of life, certain power in government affairs and lofty honor in politics. The portraits of 28 heroes of Liu Wei are hung in Lingyun Pavilion, and they are called "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai". These founding heroes are also very "sensible", and most of them have done a good job from beginning to end, leaving a long story.
Liu Bei, the first master of Shu Han, is also a benevolent king. He took his brother as his brother and his wife as his clothes, and entrusted some things to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other subordinates. Liu Feng, Liu Bei's adopted son, was killed for Guan Yu and did not hesitate to violate the national policy. He sent his troops to Wudong for revenge, was burned and killed Bai Di. Blending with Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage first and entrusted state affairs at his deathbed. Treat you with courtesy and serve you with loyalty. Guan Yu sealed Liu Bei and rode a thousand miles alone, flooding seven armies. Although he walked through Maicheng, he did not hesitate to die. Zhuge Liang joined forces with Wu to resist Wei, went out of Qishan six times, did his best, and died.
The Founding Fathers of Sui and Tang Dynasties treated the Founding Fathers well. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, even imitated Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, and ordered the portraits of 24 heroes to be hung in Lingyan Temple.
Song Taizu is also very tolerant of heroes. With the ingenious method of "relieving soldiers from drinking with a glass of wine", he broke the tradition of arrogance and bossiness of officers and men since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and ended decades of turbulent political situation in China. He also laid down the rule of not killing ministers, which laid the foundation for Dasong to reach the peak of China's autocratic economy and culture.
It can be seen that the founding emperor, who was born in a famous master's family, gave preferential treatment to the founding fathers. So how did Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were born in common people, do it?
Let's talk about Liu Bang and Emperor Gaozu. Liu Bang killed almost all the heroes, and Han Xin, the number one hero, was the most representative. Ever since Han Xin led the troops, he has been invincible. Without him, Liu Bang could not have won the world. However, the world decided that Liu Bang immediately took off the title of King Chu of Han Xin and was demoted to Huaiyin Hou, leaving Chang 'an idle. Lv Hou defiled the rebellion in Han Xin and killed it. At that time, Han Xin also defended Liu Bang, but he asked Liu Bang for "three noes", that is, no killing in heaven, no killing in earth and no killing in iron, and Liu Bang readily agreed. Han Xin means that as long as it is underground, you can't kill me. As a result, Han Xin was hung in a cage and Nian disappeared; Covered with white cloth, the sky is gone; Then stab him alive with sharpened bamboo, leaving no iron! If you want to add a crime, why not stop here? If you want to kill someone, why not? The number one hero of the founding of the Han dynasty died so unjustly, and everyone else was a cinch. It's just a matter of life.
Besides, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang was the lowest position among the founding emperors of past dynasties, but he killed heroes the most ruthlessly. The world decided, and he began to gradually purge heroes, killing Hua Yunlong and Liao Yongzhong first. During this period, Liu Bowen, who had already retired from the torrent, died in his hometown. -
Zhu Yuanzhang's great effort to kill heroes was to launch Hu and Aquamarine unjust imprisonment. A * * * killed tens of thousands of people and thoroughly cleaned the Huaixi political group that helped him win the world. First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang killed a large number of heroes, including Prime Minister Hu He1more than 5,000 officials. Hu Dang later killed heroes such as Tang Shengzong, and finally even killed one of the most powerful heroes, Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang is "Dr. Guanglute, a surname in Zuozhong, and a prime minister in Zuozhong. He is a North Korean official, and his descendants are 4000 years old. Save two lives for the iron coupon and save your son's life. " It is extremely important to be one with your majesty, to give up a thousand deaths to win the world, to respect ministers first, to serve the public, to die as a king, to be a princess, and to respect officials as ministers. "Zhu Yuanzhang regarded it as the number one patriarch of" competing with Xiao He ". But at the age of 77, more than 70 members of his family were beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang, while Li Shanchang was given the whole body.
Through the Hu case, Zhu Yuanzhang eradicated the founding minister and then targeted the military commanders. At that time, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others. Led by Sheng Feng, Fu Youde and Aquamarine. Aquamarine is Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man. Zhu Yuanzhang once compared him to Wei Qing. However, Zhu Yuanzhang raised the butcher knife at him. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang executed aquamarine for treason, implicated thirteen princes and two uncles, and killed more than 20,000 people successively, leaving the army empty.
After Aquamarine was killed unjustly, Wang Bi said to Fu Youde, "The emperor killed me last year, so there are very few people in my generation." As a result, the conversation was discovered by Jin Yiwei and Wang Bi was sentenced to death. Then Zhu Yuanzhang killed the last two generals, Sheng Feng and Fu Youde. Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was the first general after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). "He has no pride, no love for women, no treasures, no integrity, no light of the sun and the moon. He is just a general. " He was always cautious, and Hongwu died in eighteen years. But so far, some people think that Xu Da was poisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Da was ill and couldn't eat steamed food. Zhu Yuanzhang specially made steamed geese for Xu Da. Xu Da knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, ate with tears in his eyes, and soon died of gang fever.
As for the result of indiscriminate killing, Zhao Yi, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, said that Zhu Yuanzhang "won the position of the world by taking advantage of the hero in the world, that is, killing all the people in the world, and his cruelty was unprecedented." This statement is not absurd!
