Zhu Yuanzhang made a joke by deleting Mencius.

In the twenty-second year of Wu Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang did the most cultured and uneducated thing, that is, abridged Mencius and dared to challenge Yasheng.

Twenty years ago, the peasant-born emperor rebelled, became a monk and a thief, and clashed with civilization, culture, literati and articles, and ordered Mencius' memorial tablet to be withdrawn from the Confucian Temple and disqualified. Wen panicked. Everyone is a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, and it is extremely absurd to obey others. Fortunately, Qin's astrologer came out to speak. He said, "Confusion is a harbinger of anger. Does your majesty have any policies and measures that make heaven feel uneasy? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was dazed. First, after all, he is a farmer, and he is an extremely poor farmer who depends on the weather for food in a small-scale peasant economy society. Because he lives on the weather, this fear of the sky is in his genes. Others dare not lose their temper with him, but he still has to care whether God loses his temper. Second, although he is the son of heaven, he is the monarch, and the monarch is blessed. No one can do anything about him. However, no matter how great and clever he is, his life is in the hands of God, and the king of hell wants you to die before dawn. As a result, this man, who was essentially a farmer, gave in, revoked the imperial edict, and finally allowed Master Meng to eat a plate of cold pig's head when offering sacrifices to the Confucius.

Qi Qi Ting Ji in Qing Dynasty recorded the farce of the peasant emperor abdicating Meng.

How could monks in the Warring States period offend Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty? No one dared to test the truth at that time. Dare not, you will lose your head. Hongwu twenty-two years, from twenty years, the court, this matter has been completely forgotten. Unexpectedly, the little man's jealousy really reached the point where "this endless sorrow is endless", and his hatred for Ah Sheng somehow became neurotic again. Well, this time Zhu Yuanzhang ordered all Mencius' books to be banned, and people finally understood why Mencius hated him.
