In 2002 BC, Liu conquered the world, and in 200 BC1year, Han Xin was beheaded. This pair of princes and ministers who once had conflicts with * * * only spent a little more than a year together after the world was settled. No wonder Han Xin lamented "a sly rabbit, a running dog and a cook" before his execution. Birds are exhausted, bows are hidden; When the enemy breaks, the counselor dies. In the six years after Han Xin's execution, Liu assisted in beheading the Prince of Yan and Ying Bu in Huainan, all of which made great contributions to the fields. Lu Wan, who was later enfeoffed by Yan, was abolished as a civilian, and even Zhang Ao, the son-in-law, was abolished. Han Xin narrowly escaped to the Huns, leaving only Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, to live in a corner of the Han Dynasty, which did not pose a substantial threat to the Han Empire. Liu Gang's notoriety as a murder hero also goes down in history.

Liu Bang's reputation for killing heroes is the loudest, but he is not the most outstanding figure. Compared with the other two emperors in history, Gou Jian and Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bang's behavior is as simple and kind as the legendary Guanyin. Although Liu Bang's six different-surname kings made great contributions to the country, the country they sealed spanned counties and counties, each with strong military and financial strength, which posed a substantial threat to the Han Dynasty. Even if they don't rebel and send troops to their comrades in the same trench as Liu Bangzeng, whether their descendants can still care about this feeling is unknown. Once their strength has expanded to a certain extent, it is not impossible to challenge their masters. What's more, these six recruited kings are all heroes of fate, much younger than Liu Bang. It is naturally difficult to deal with the rebellion against the imperial court. Liu Bang's resistance does not mean that his descendants can also resist.

Therefore, once those powerful princes become immortals, the Han empire will never have peace. Liu Bang himself became emperor because he rebelled against Xiang Yu. Therefore, he was skeptical about the loyalty of vassal States. The safest way is to eliminate hidden dangers in advance, destroy vassal States or weaken their power to the point where they cannot accumulate mutinous capital. When Han Xin was king of Chu, he took in Liu Gang's natural enemy, Zhong Limei, the general of Xiang Yu. It is taboo to subdue rebellious generals and even friends, not to mention courtiers who have the power to shake the country. So Liu Gang's suspicion of Han Xin is not groundless. Yue was killed because he did not fulfill his obligation to send troops to help the Lord. Ying Bu, the king of Huainan, took the lead and dispatched troops. Liu Banglian had no room to escape. Therefore, for the future of the empire, Liu Bang killed heroes for some convincing reasons. Not just because he is too jealous or narrow-minded. Like Sean and Xiao He, whom Han Xin called "three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty", Liu Bang not only didn't kill them, but entrusted an important task to other heroes.

Now let's take a look at how Gou Jian and Zhu Yuanzhang treated the founding fathers:

Gou Jian is the most famous humiliating and ungrateful king in the history of China. In 494 AD, the State of Wu launched a massive attack on the defenceless State of Yue. Gou Jian, King of Yue, was forced to be a slave to Fu Cha, King of Wu, in order to save the country. Three years later, relying on the wisdom of Fan Li, the first think tank, he was able to return to China. After Gou Jian returned to China, with the help of Fan Li and Wen Zhong, another think tank, he tried his best to rearm secretly. Ten years of livelihood, ten years of lessons, in 473 BC, defeated Wu, who was ten times stronger than Yue, and avenged his blood twenty years ago.

The day after Wu's death, he saw through Gou Jian's nature and ran away. When he was ready to escape, he wrote a letter to Wen Zhong, the prime minister of the State of Yue, which said: "A cunning rabbit is exhausted, and a running dog cooks; A bird hides with a good bow. Gou Jian's neck is particularly long and his mouth is like an eagle's mouth. Such people can only share weal and woe. You'd better leave him as soon as possible. " Zhong read the letter, but he didn't think so. He doesn't believe that there are such cold-blooded animals in the world.

Gou Jian personally gave Wen Zhong a sword and asked him, "You have seven ways to destroy the country. It only took me three to destroy Wu, and there are four roads left. Who are you going to use them against? " Zhong had no choice but to commit suicide. Assuming that Fan Li has no foresight, the ending will certainly not be better than Wen Zhong. At that time, the state of Yue had just got rid of the era of ignorance, and talents were extremely scarce. Only Wen Zhong and Fan Li can get by. Although Gou Jian only killed one person, he cut down all the politicians in Yue, which was much worse than Liu Gang's and caused much more harm.

If Gou Jian is like a cold-blooded animal to hero Yuan Xun, Zhu Yuanzhang is no worse than snakes and scorpions.

1368 Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, 138 1 year unified China. Before the smoke of the battlefield cleared, Zhu Yuanzhang carried out a planned and legal slaughter of the heroes.

1380, "someone" reported the rebellion of Prime Minister Hu, saying that he tried to collude with Japan in the East China Sea and assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang at a banquet. Zhu Yuanzhang cut Hu more than 2,000 knives and slaughtered three families. 10 years later, Zhu Yuanzhang's persecutor committed another crime, claiming to have discovered the new plot and accomplice of the deceased Hu and launched an all-round arrest. Even the children in-laws of Zhu Yuanzhang's most respected founding father Zhu, including 77-year-old Li Shanchang, killed more than 20,000 people. Zhu Yuanzhang also plausibly compiled a book for the massacre, called A Record of a Traitor, with Li Shanchang's confession as an appendix. Every official in the country has a copy, which makes everyone feel risky.

1393, Zhu Yuanzhang launched the second massacre. "Someone" denounced General Aquamarine's rebellion and Aquamarine was imprisoned. Under torture, he admitted that he wanted to defect. Aquamarine was executed on New Year's Day, killing three families. According to the confession, more than 20,000 people were massacred, including a duke, thirteen marquis and two earl. The blood on the execution ground can probably converge into a stream. Zhu Yuanzhang also compiled a book for the massacre, called "Record of Rebels", which was told to the whole country.

The targets of Zhu Yuanzhang's two massacres were his brothers in trouble when he first started his army. They risked their lives for Zhu Yuanzhang, but when they thought they could share their wealth, they were brutally tortured by Zhu Yuanzhang and became attached to Jiuzu. These two massacres were just mass deaths. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is killing people every day. Song Lian, a teacher like the Prince, was the most outstanding literary figure in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang regarded him as a "saint" and went in and out of the palace like a family. Because his grandson was involved in the Hu case, Zhu Yuanzhang turned against him, and his former guest suddenly became a prisoner. Song Lian was exiled to the hinterland and died within a few years.

Liu Ji, Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted think tank, contributed as much to the Ming Dynasty as Zhuge Liang did to the Shu-Han Empire, but his fate was not as good as Zhuge Liang's. His wisdom made Zhu Yuanzhang feel uncomfortable. Zhu Yuanzhang poisoned him and then blamed Hu. Fu Youde, the general who pacified Yunnan, tied the father and son to the execution ground at the same time. Liang Zhu, the general of Guangdong and Guangxi, was killed by Strafe at the same time. Minister Li Shilu resigned in the Golden Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he looked down on him as an emperor, and immediately ordered the samurai to fall from the palace and his brains burst and die. Of all the friends in trouble, only three survived without being labeled as traitors.

One is Chang Yuchun, the other is Xu Da, and the other is Tanghe. Chang Yuchun is the luckiest. He died before world peace. There is no difference between Xu Da's death and execution. He has gangrene and hates goose meat. It happened that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a bowl of goose and ordered the eunuch to watch him eat it. Xu Da ate and cried, and died that night by taking poison. Only Tang died because he looked stupid and didn't have that kind of ambitious IQ. During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone in North Korea was worried about unexpected troubles.

Li Shanchang is Zhu Yuanzhang's second largest adviser and hero, and Zhu Yuanzhang is his children's in-laws. But Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn't trust him and will want to leave as soon as possible. Just when my brother and Hu were together, Zhu Yuanzhang took this opportunity to make a fuss about Ding Bin's making Hu guilty and reporting the rebellion. The jailer severely punished Li Cunyi and his son, but they had to "admit" that it was directed by Li Shanchang according to the jailer's idea. At that time, a group of courtiers, bearing the will of the imperial court, handed a joint seal to be a good leader, saying that it was a big violation and that they would be punished, thus creating a "rebellion case." At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had to pose, saying that Li Shanchang was a great hero and should have mercy outside the law.

It happened that the surname was changed, only this time, as if the minister wanted to take it and punish him, so Mao strictly ordered himself to commit suicide. At this time, Li Shanchang was 77 years old and there were more than 70 people in his family, all of whom were beheaded. Only one son, Li Qi, once a princess in Lin 'an, escaped death and moved to Jiangpu. It is enough to say that the elephant should be in the minister's office, and it is enough to die well. Why kill more than 70 family members? It can be seen that they are all staged in advance for people to see. For example, Zhong Heng in Ji 'an, Hou Tang Shengzong in Yan 'an, Hou Feiju in Pingliang, Hou in Nanxiong, Hou Luju in Jiangnan, Hou in Yichun and Hou in Changyu, that is, Hu. Xingyang Hou Zheng Yuchun and others. Be taken to the execution ground and beheaded.
