Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a poem on the wall, but the monk erased it directly. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed: he was rewarded heavily

The history of our country can be said to be a history of poetry. Every dynasty change in the history of our country can be reflected in poetry. Especially during the Tang Dynasty, poetry became synonymous with the Tang Dynasty. In the history of our country, there were also many emperors who liked to write poems. For example, Emperor Qianlong, who loved to write poems the most, wrote more than 40,000 poems in his life. In this way, the number is comparable to the "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty"

In addition to Emperor Qianlong, there was another emperor in the history of our country who also wrote poetry. This emperor was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When mentioning Zhu Yuanzhang, many people will have a question in their minds. Zhu Yuanzhang never went to school since he was a child. He probably couldn't even write his own name. How could he write poetry? In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed illiterate at the beginning, but who made him motivated? After joining the army and becoming emperor, he continued to enrich himself. Gradually I was able to understand the memorials, and I could write poems and couplets in my daily life.

It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting in the Jianghuai area, he came to a temple in Taiping Mansion in disguise. The people in the temple were very strange when they saw this man (perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance frightened them), so they went up and asked his name. Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to answer, so he wrote a poem and inscribed it on the wall of the temple. Above, the name of this poem is "Showing the Monk" and the content is "Killing all the millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, the sword on his waist is still bloody! The old monk doesn't know the hero, so he just asks for his name."

This Although the rhetoric of the poem is not gorgeous, this poem is very straightforward and directly describes the situation at that time. The more Zhu Yuanzhang read this poem, the more satisfied he became. After Zhu Yuanzhang left, the monk in the temple saw this poem and guessed that this person was someone that ordinary people could not afford to offend. However, it was a troubled time at that time, and such a poem would be useless in the temple as a bomb. So after Zhu Yuanzhang left, the monks in the temple immediately painted out the poem.

Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he passed by here and wanted to see if the poem was still there, but he saw that it had been erased by the monk. Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry. He must have been very angry and wanted to kill someone. Yes, I don’t know who is so bold as to erase the poem he wrote. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

So he wanted to kill all the monks in the temple. The monk had an idea and immediately recited a poem and replied: "I dare not keep the poems written by the emperor, because I am often afraid of ghosts and gods, so I wash them gently with the Dharma water. , There is still light to shoot the bullfight." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after hearing what the monk said, and released the monk in the temple and rewarded him heavily.
