Why couldn't Zhu Yuanzhang learn from the Song Dynasty's drunkenness to release military power, but chose to brutally massacre the heroes?

1. After the death of the prince and the creation of an emperor's grandson, the master of the young country suspected of killing him

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally an extreme and cruel person. In the words of Mingyue that year, he would either do nothing. , or do nothing. In other words, either don’t kill or kill them all.

In 1392, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao returned from inspecting work in Shaanxi. He caught wind and cold and died of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken when he sent a white-headed man to a black-headed man.

In desperation, Zhu Yunwen, a teenager, was made the grandson of the emperor and would inherit the throne in the future.

But the emperor's grandson is young, and his personality is similar to that of the prince Zhu Biao, gentle and elegant. The old Zhu Yuanzhang thought, if I die, will those living proud soldiers rebel?

So, the second year after Zhu Biao's death, that is, in 1393, someone reported Lan Yu's rebellion. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to make a big connection and killed 10,000 or 20,000 people. Among them, there are many more unjust deaths than those who deserve to die.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already perverted, but this time he became even more perverted.

2. He secretly built a plank road to assassinate Chen Cang, killed Hu Weiyong openly, and took the opportunity to abolish the prime minister system

In 1380, Zhu Yuanzhang exterminated the nine clans of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong for treason, and at the same time killed Chen Ning, the imperial censor. , Zhongcheng Tujie and several others. After getting rid of Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system and appointed college students to serve as advisers to the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang used the Hu Weiyong case to end China's prime minister system.

Whether Hu Weiyong rebelled, there is still no conclusion in Chinese historical circles. Although Hu Weiyong acted dictatorially, often without consulting the emperor, and was corrupt and formed a party for personal gain, there has always been doubts about whether he rebelled.

Zhu Yuanzhang borrowed Hu Weiyong's head to build a plank road to visit Chen Cang secretly, thereby completely abolishing the prime minister system.

In 1390, Zhu Yuanzhang executed the founding heroes such as Li Shanchang, Duke of South Korea, Lu Zhongheng, the descendants of the late Duke Gu Shi of Teng, and others for being a party member of Hu Weiyong. Later, Hu Weiyong was responsible for the Japanese and Tongyuan (Northern Yuan Dynasty), and his party members were investigated. He killed more than 30,000 people in succession, which was called "Hu Prison" at that time.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a murderer, was involved in a hysterical massacre this time.

3. Extreme cruelty is very perverted,? Skinning and pulling grass? Inhumane

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in an extremely poor family. He grew up from blood and tears and lacked normal sympathy and empathy. , basically inhumane.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been tortured by corrupt officials since he was a child, and he had a deep hatred for corrupt officials. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he severely punished corrupt officials. However, the methods were too cruel, such as skinning and pulling grass, picking tendons, amputating fingers, hands, and cutting off knees. The criminal law of "peeling and removing straw" is to drag those corrupt officials to the "peechang temple" set up in every prefecture, state, and county to peel their skins, then fill the skins with straw and lime, and put them on the court table where the corrupt officials will be executed. Next to the seat, to warn the succeeding officials not to repeat the same mistakes, otherwise, this "scumbag" will be his fate.

In the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang made countless unjust, false and wrong cases, many of which were jokes. For example, when Lan Yu was accused of treason, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang appointed the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen and the official minister Zhan Hui to interrogate Lan Yu. The official official official Zhan Hui was shocked and said, "Lanyu, recruit your accomplices."

Zhan Hui was also killed. In the Lan Yu case, the criminals fought with each other and tens of thousands of innocent people died. In the Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu cases, as many as 40,000 people were killed.

Zhan Hui’s death was completely a false accusation and attack by Lan Yu. I will drag anyone into trouble who dares to interrogate me.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't even see this, so he was a fool with a poor IQ. Later, the throne was snatched away by his fourth uncle Zhu Di, and he deserved it. Zhu Yuanzhang was not confused at all. He used Hu Weiyong Lanyu's case to wipe out the power of the founding fathers and their descendants, fully exposing Zhu Yuanzhang's bestiality and showing Zhu Yuanzhang's inhumanity in order to maintain his rule. the truth.
