The inhumanity and inhumanity of the original Ming emperor Chengzu to the old minister of Jianwen Emperor.

What did Emperor Wenjian do or prepare to do with the prisoners of Zhu Yuanzhang who were enfeoffed during his reign? Judging from the ethics respected by China in previous dynasties, Judy's behavior of launching the Jing Nan War and seizing power from her nephew was extremely disgraceful and violated the etiquette system.

From Wen Jian to Ming Chengzu Chengzu, as far as the process of changing owners is concerned, if we only judge by the standards of monarch, minister and minister:

First of all, ministers who gave their lives for Wen Jian to the death are morally tenable. What they maintain and insist on is the orthodoxy and orthodoxy they believe in;

Second, ministers who turned their backs on Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen and supported Judy may be wise. However, to some extent, their behavior can be understood as a surrender to power and greatness, a betrayal of moral standards respected by society, and a coward who loses benevolence and righteousness.

Third, in this world, there may be eternal rivers and mountains, but there is almost no eternal regime. Therefore, it is impossible to answer the complex question of regime change simply from the perspective of orthodoxy and morality. To some extent, Judy's seizure of power and Wang Mang's usurpation of Han Dynasty are essentially the same, both of which are seizing sovereignty. The only difference is that Wang Mang seized the political power of the opposite sex, while Judy seized the rule of the same surname.

Four, as far as the ancient theory is concerned, the world is the world of all people. If this is the case, then this world is not a world of one surname, nor is it a world of individual groups. Therefore, after excluding those concepts that are considered pedantic, anyone who has the ability can win the world. However, in the process of seizing political power, it is often too bloody, and too many innocent people often die; However, after seizing power, those who have a guilty conscience, those who are too petty, those who have no humanity and those who have lost humanity will continue to be cleansed by terror and will continue to poison their lives. This is the crux of caution when the world changes hands, which is also the most cruel aspect of history.

Although, before and after the change of ownership, the cloud of dehumanization will cover that period and poison future generations, it should be noted that the light of those who adhere to morality will still give people a lot of incentives; You know, history will remember the crimes of every shameless person; It should be noted that temporary beautification and concealment will eventually reveal their true colors in the long river of history ... These are the forces of progress; These are places where dictators can't sleep well.

Having said so much, it seems that I haven't done enough, so stop here.

Below, I will briefly talk about the inhumanity and inhumanity of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Yuanzhang according to the second book Li written by the Song Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

I. Huang Zicheng

After Wen Jian's defeat, many relatives of Huang Zicheng were killed.

Huang Zicheng's wife was registered in the Huan Yi branch.

Huan Yi Bureau, commonly known as Jiangjiafang, was signed by eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the eight bureaus serving the palace, ranking second only to the royal restaurant, and providing laundry service for the palace. There is a handprint eunuch, and there is no library supervisor. But this bureau is not in the imperial city.

Huang Zicheng's wife gave birth to a son while working in Huan Yi Branch. After the child is born, he can't be surnamed Huang, but should be called Shunjiaer. When a child is adopted by Zheng, he can only follow Zheng's surname. When the author wrote this letter, Shun's family was still alive.

Huang Zicheng's wife gave birth to four daughters, all of whom were sent to Nanjing West Hospital.

Second, Qitai

After Qi Tai was arrested, he was sentenced to death that year.

Most of Qi Tai's relatives were wiped out.

Qi Tai's uncles Qi Yang Yan and Qi Shiyong were both exiled.

Qi Jingzong, Qi Tai's younger brother, was also executed together.

On the 11th day of the first month of the 11th year of Yongle (A.D. 14 13), Jiaofang Department (Jiaofang Department of Ming Dynasty) was under the Ministry of Rites and was in charge of music, dance and opera. ) and other officials play YunYouAnMen:

"The wicked Ji Tai has two nephews and daughters-in-law, and Huang Zicheng's sister. Four women are guarded by twenty men day and night. All the young people are pregnant. In addition to having children, they also have a three-year-old daughter. "

The emperor personally approved:

"If he doesn't grow up, he is a slut."

The workshop secretary came on again.

"At the beginning, Huang Zicheng's wife gave birth to a page, and now she is ten years old. There are historians and little girls with iron cores. "

The emperor batch way:

"Everything depends on him. I respect this. "

Third, Chen Di.

After Judy ascended the throne, Abatti Giresse Concorde was ruled by the clan.

Chandy and his two sons Chen Fengshan and Chen Danshan were executed on the same day.

The family packed Chen Di's bones and buried them on the levee of Jijiaqiao in Xuancheng.

Later, Abatti Giresse Concorde's clan in-laws were banished to the frontier because of Chen Dilian's tiredness, and someone actually dug up Abatti Giresse Concorde's bones and threw them into the river.

According to Chen Di's old biography:

On the day of execution, Chen Di and his son were tied to a post. When the execution was about to begin, Chen Fengshan and others called:

"Father, you are tired of us."

Chen Di said:

"My son, don't say that."

Chen Di is full of curses. So Judy's executioners cut off the tongues, noses and ears of Chen Fengshan and others, fried them, stuffed them into Abatti Giresse Concorde's mouth and forced him to eat.

Later, chandy and others were executed in that year, and their bones were broken.

It was the old slaves in Abatti Giresse Concorde who packed up the bodies of Abatti Giresse Concorde and others, carried them back to Xuancheng and buried them in Jijiaqiao, the home of Chen Di (grandparents' home, that is, my uncle's home).

Fourth, practice safety.

In the fourth year of Wenjian (AD 1402), that is, the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu as Judy called it, in June, Judy captured Nanjing and returned to the clan.

On the 24th day of the first month of Yongle (A.D. 1403), a captain Liu Tong posted:

1. It is evil to lead Zhang Bird (also known as Zhang Bird) and other six men and women to prison; He also listed the evil deeds of 55 1 men and women, including the prisoner Yang Wenshou.

The emperor personally approved:

"yes. What I have learned these days are the relatives of practitioners. From the moment before yesterday, there were people outside the city who refused to come in. Blame and urge him, and beat the security guard. Take this guy to the same criminal trial. If you pick out the close ones, it will be late; Distant relatives, all sent to disperse banishment. Distant relatives are not suitable, and it is too late to say anything close. "

In February of the same year, another 448 men and women, including Zou, were found.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Fang Xiaoru

After the victory, he followed Yao's advice and asked Fang Xiaoru to write a letter to announce his accession to the throne to the world. Fang Xiaoru refused to keep his oath, so he was sentenced to death and killed by barbarians.

The author consulted the books of Fusi Prison in Wei Jinyi Town, Nanjing at that time, and found that the book was damaged except the previous one, and the Fang Xiaoru family was destroyed in the book:

847 people were raided. Check the name of the rescuer:

Fang Xiaoru's uncles Fang Du Wen, Fang Wengong, Fang Fang and Fang Min;

Fang Xiaoru's nephews Liang Fang, Fang Jing and Liang Fang;

On the 25th of the same month, his son Hu was also killed, and his second son Hu was sent to defend the border.

Hu Run's wife has two daughters, both of whom were given to elephant slaves.

(2 17 people died at home. )

Seven, Guo Ren

When Judy entered Nanjing, Guo Ren was slaughtered.

Guo Jing, the son of Guo Ren, aged 30, was also executed in Jinshan on June 25th this year (AD 1402). Guo Ren's son Bao Guo was exiled to Guangxi.

Guo Ren's three daughters were all given to elephant slaves.

Eight, Hou Tai

In the battle of Jingnan, Hou Tai was responsible for transporting food for Zhu Yunwen.

On June 21st, the 4th year of Wen Jian (AD 1402), Hou Tai went to Nanjing, marched to Gaoyou, and was arrested together with Mao Yinzai, a native of Zaoli Gaoshang (now Yichun, Jiangxi). On 26th of this month, Hou Tai was escorted to Fusi Town, Wei Jinyi, and was executed on July 10.

Hou Tai's younger brother Hou Jingzu and his son Hou Gui were both punished on July 15.

Most of Hou Tai's other children died in exile.

Chen Jizhi's daughter Jin Chen slave, thirteen years old, was assigned to Yuan Jiang, commander of the Royal Guards, as a slave; His daughter, Chen Jing, was one year old and died in the early years of Yongle.

Chen Jizhi's younger brother Xiang was also all exiled.

Gaoxiang

After Judy came to power, she had already heard Gao Xiang's name, and she was ready to call and promote her appointment.

Gao Xiang went to see Judy in mourning. Between words, gaoxiang touched Judy again. Therefore, Judy sent someone to kill Gao Xiang at home, leaving him no property.

Those tenants who used to be Gao Xiang's family were later punished and demanded to pay double taxes.

Judy's purpose is:

"Anger at the history of the empire with the world."

In other words, to double the tax on those people is to ask them to curse Gao Xiang's heavy tax for generations.

Gao Xiang's relatives were exiled.

Xi。 Xie Sheng

Xie Sheng's father Wang Xie is 74 years old. My son, Xie Bite, was twenty years old. After Xie Sheng's death, they were all sent to Jinya Guard (located at the westernmost end of the guard office under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Dusi) on the second day of October of the same year.

Xie Sheng's four daughters were sent to the Huan Yi branch.

His wife Han, then 39 years old, sent her to Qi Huangong on September 20th this year, and began to engage in prostitution. (This completely dehumanizing animal behavior is Judy's way of punishing the loyal subjects of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen. )

In other words, after crossing the river, Judy captured Tie Xuan with a trick.

Tiexuan is unyielding.

Judy was furious and ordered Lux to break Jing Qing's teeth with melon. Jing Qing was cursing till his death.

After Jing Qing died, he stripped the grass.

The foot soldiers guarding Jing Qing played:

"The body will move by itself."

Judy was very scared after hearing this.

That night, Judy dreamed that Jing Qing was vomiting blood and shouting. After Judy woke up, he looked at the clothes he was wearing in his dream, and there seemed to be blood dripping on them.

So Judy ordered a treacherous raid on Jing Qing Jiuzu.

Later, his descendants fled and changed their surname to Li. These descendants, regardless of rank, are called Li Jingmou.

postscript

About the cleaning of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen's old ministers after Judy succeeded to the throne, the relevant information is summarized as follows:

In the fourth year of her reign (A.D. 1402), on June 25th, Judy killed Ji Tai, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru and wiped out their families, including:

Because Fang Xiaoru was implicated, 873 people died and more than a thousand people were exiled.

There are 345 people involved in Huang Zicheng.

After Jing Qing's fake surrender, his plot to assassinate failed, and he was killed on August 12, destroying the nine clans; After killing the hometown, it was called "full copy of melons".

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang and many of his old ministers, such as Zhuo Jing, Bao Zhao, Lian, Mao Tai, Guo Ren, Lu Zhi, Dai Deyi, Wang Gen, Wang Shuying, Xie Sheng, Ding Zhifang, Gan Lin, Yong Dong, Chen Jizhi, Han Yong, Ye Fu, Liu Duan, Huang Guan, Hou Tai, Mao Dafang and Huang Guan.

These iron clank characters, history books say:

"Loyalty and indignation depend on whether the knife and saw tripod are sweet, immortal and alive."

Family members and relatives of these people were implicated, many people died, and many others were exiled, forced into prostitution and punished in other ways.

Most people were pardoned only after the reign of Emperor Zhu Gaochi (1424 to 1425). The descendants of the rest were not pardoned until Zhu Yijun in Ming Shenzong (1572- 1620 reigned).

Besides wanton killing, in the same month, Judy imprisoned Wang Wei Xu Huizu (son of Xu Da), and later released him and knighted him. After Xu Huizu's death, his son, Wei Gong.

Huang Guan was jealous of Judy, and his position as the No.1 scholar was cancelled.
