Who did Zhu Yuanzhang kill? Among the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, except a few people such as Tang He, most of them died of natural causes: Xu Da died of carbuncle on his back after eating steamed goose; Chang Yuchun died early and escaped; It is said that Liu Bowen was poisoned by Hu's decree; However, Hu himself did not last long, and was soon executed by his master on charges of "privately planting a party" and "bending the law and falsely accusing a sage", and more than 30,000 people were implicated. Even ten years after Hu's death, Zhu Yuanzhang planted a heinous crime of "plotting against Japan" for him, which was the famous "Hu case" in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Hu's death led to the absence of the post of prime minister in the Ming Dynasty. Since then, the prime minister system established since Qin and Han Dynasties has come to an end. After the Ming Dynasty, there were only so-called "scholars" in the Qing Dynasty, but there were no prime ministers such as Wei Zhi and Wen Tianxiang who pleaded for the people. I have to say it's the sadness of China's history. It is precisely because of Zhu Yuanzhang's great and brilliant achievements and his notorious slaughter of the founding heroes that Zhu Yuanzhang has always been one of the most controversial historical figures in ancient China.

History wronged Zhu Yuanzhang?

It should be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is, of course, a talented person and a dragon among people, but no matter how great his skill is, he can never create such great achievements on his own; It should also be said that the cause of the Ming Dynasty, like many other causes, was not created by one person, but by his civil servant Zhu Yuanzhang and his right-hand man Qi Xin.

In this way, if Zhu Yuanzhang really slaughtered heroes after his success, as written in the book-since the compilation of Ming history, most people think that only a few of Zhu Yuanzhang's founding ministers, such as Tang He, Mu Ying and Geng Bingwen, did not die in Zhu Yuanzhang's massacre-then Zhu Yuanzhang has been criticized, reprimanded and even criticized by future generations for hundreds of years, and it is not wronged at all.

Does Zhu Yuanzhang really regard heroes as dirt? I don't think so-I always feel that the real Zhu Yuanzhang may not be such a heartless person. If we analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that Zhu Yuanzhang is actually a grateful person. Despite his so-called massacre, it does not rule out the possibility of some unjust, false and wrong cases.
