Among Emperor Gaozu and Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, is the best. He is the one who truly achieves "the unity of heaven and man, loves the surname of the world and respects the virtue of the world".
First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was also born in cloth, had a lower starting point than Liu Bang. Before Liu Bang's uprising, he was at least the director of Surabaya, and he was also a beadle in Qin Dynasty, so he could make friends with officials like Xiao He and Cao Can.
Zhu Yuanzhang's life experience is tragic. Parents and brothers starved to death due to famine in their early years. After that, he was once penniless and couldn't even eat. So Zhu Yuanzhang's starting point is much lower than Liu Bang's. It can be said that the Daming Mountain he created was completely started from scratch and was shot down by himself.
Secondly, Liu Bang has always fought for the world with the same clan forces, while Zhu Yuanzhang "expelled the Tatars and restored China" and regained the Han family from Meng Yuan. After the White Snake Uprising, Liu Bang first destroyed Qin with Xiang Yu, and then launched a Chu-Han war with Xiang Yu for four years, which made a great man. However, whether it is the Qin Dynasty or the Western Chu, these are, after all, the forces of the Chinese nation.
On the other hand, after Zhu Yuanzhang pacified Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen. And unified the south, launched the Northern Expedition under the banner of "expelling Tatars and restoring China", expelled Mengyuan in one fell swoop and restored the Han family.
Just like Mr. Meng Sen summed up two points: 1, if a person gets into trouble, he is not suspected of bullying others; 2, eliminate violence for the people, and have no intention of rehearsing artifacts. These two points are completely consistent with Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor. Therefore, whether orthodox or orthodox, Zhu Yuanzhang is the most correct in all previous dynasties.
