Collection of Huaxia: Halloween Tribute to Ice Sculpture Company

After the emperors of all dynasties were in their old age, what they cared about was not the prosperity and wealth, and thousands of miles of land.It is the evaluation of oneself by later generations, shining in the annals of history, or leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years.Zhou Jin has long been familiar with this.He didn't intend to hide it, but chose to tell the truth.

"Since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, most of the peasant uprisings can't last long. They have suffered too much before, and after turning over, they are addicted to wine and sex, and their grand ambitions are lost. But your Majesty is different. He has ambitions. Keep going, never let up."

"Your Majesty expelled aliens, unified China, was poor and frugal, punished corrupt officials, built water conservancy projects, and recruited talented people. Encouraging farmers to reclaim wasteland and promote agricultural productivity, this is a merit that will be passed down forever."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head in agreement.

"But I don't believe that's all. Go on."

Zhou Jin didn't hesitate, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty's cruelty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He massacres wantonly and engages in literary prisons, causing panic in the society. He ruled the country with violence, established a factory guard system, ruled by secret agents, bloated laws, bloated orders, and bad torture. It will be criticized by future generations."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then nodded his head: "It's to the point."

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the late Yuan Dynasty.

The tyrannical government of the imperial court tried every means to exploit the people, which made life very hard at that time.This is especially true for Zhu Yuanzhang's family. His parents and brothers starved to death because they had no food to eat.In the young Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he buried a heart that hated corrupt officials.

When he was a teenager, he turned into hating the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, the family really couldn't get rid of the pot.If he just sits and waits to die, Zhu Yuanzhang will also starve to death.In order to find a way out, he left his hometown and became a beggar wandering the world. At the age of 17, due to helplessness, he had no choice but to become a monk.

It is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty: "Liu Jizu and his texture were buried in Fengyang Mausoleum. Taizu was alone, so he entered Huangjue Temple as a monk."

In the early years, he was hungry and wandering, which strengthened his belief in resisting the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty.

"There is one more thing. After the founding of the country, His Majesty massacred meritorious ministers and was reviled by the world."

Zhou Jin said.

"Do you know why I want to kill them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and flicked his long sleeves, his already ugly face became even more ferocious.

"This group of people rely on themselves as meritorious ministers, act recklessly, oppress the people, become corrupt, embezzle themselves, enrich their own pockets, and even some people have turned against me and secretly deal with me."

"If they are allowed to do whatever they want and I don't interfere, how can our Great Ming Dynasty last long? Please die in their hands!"

Qi Qi's voice-over sounded.

"There were two major cases in the Ming Dynasty, which involved a wide range of people. Zhu Yuanzhang almost killed all the heroes. One was the Hu Weiyong case, and the other was the Lanyu case. The second case involved as many as 5000 heroes and veterans. More than 4 family members have been sexually executed.”

"It is recorded in the history books that 'Lanyu raised thousands of slaves and sons'. This is also an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the butcher's knife. No matter how great Lanyu's contribution is, he is only a courtier, and there are thousands of people in his family. He wants What to do? If other people follow suit, the whole world will be in chaos."

"In other words, Lan Yu's murder was entirely his own fault. The method of implicating the heroes and veterans implicated in it is cruel, but it is also helpless. Because if the country is to be stable, Zhu Yuanzhang has to be ruthless."

Because the Lantian case is very famous, almost everyone knows it.

The comment area is extremely lively.

"Zhu Yuanzhang relied on his heroes to win the country, and after the establishment of the dynasty, he slaughtered the heroes in turn. It's really not a thing!"

"Upstairs, you know what a fart. Those heroes did make great contributions, but after the founding of the country, relying on their own merits, they acted recklessly, trampled on the laws of the country, and even exploited the common people, raped and humiliated women. No matter how meritorious they are, what is the use of such people ?”

"That's right, if I were Zhu Yuanzhang, I would also raise the butcher's knife."

"Wait, there is actually another aspect. Zhu Yuanzhang was in his later years, and he guessed in his heart that after his death, these heroes would cause chaos and control the courtiers, and the successor king would not be able to deter them."

"If the children and grandchildren want to sit in the country safely, Zhu Yuanzhang has to do nothing but kill them all. After all, the eunuchs in the previous dynasty rebelled."

"It can be seen from this that Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor with great talents and general plans, but he is also ruthless."

Hongwu 30 years.

The city of Nanjing was extremely lively, and talented people from all over the world gathered under a list, staring intently at each name on it.

Someone shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, I lost my name to Sun Shan, I am ashamed to face my father and fellow countrymen, and I have no face to face Jiangdong's elders."

"Brother Chen, why did you say that. Your talent is obvious to all, and I believe you will be able to win the top spot next time."

A person next to him comforted him.

Another young man in a white robe and holding a folding fan laughed loudly: "Brother Xu, you and I are both on the list. I'm happy. If you don't get drunk in the Zuixian Tower tonight, you won't be able to return. You have to have fun!"

"There are two joys in life, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and when you get the title on the gold list, don't waste this beautiful time in vain."

The person next to him shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Fang, although they are both on the list, the situation is quite different."

"You are in the top ten, your future is limitless, and you will definitely be able to become a marquis in the future. And I... am at the bottom, it is hard to find a way out!"

Some families are happy and some are sad, and the world is fully displayed here.

The sun was surprisingly big, shining brightly in the sky, and the scorching sun was very dazzling, shining on the wall of the ranking list, each of the vigorous and powerful characters was extremely eye-catching.

"Brothers, this... this list is not right!"

I don't know who shouted.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

"Let's see, all the candidates on the list are southern talents. I waited for candidates from the north, but none of them made the list. As far as I know, the chief examiner Liu Sanwu is from the south. He must be partial!"

As soon as this word comes out.

There was a brief silence, and then a roar of curses broke out.

On that day, what flew over the city of Nanjing was not clouds, but the voices of candidates from the north scolding their parents and calling their mothers.

Who is Liu Sanwu?
Taishan Beidou in the Confucian world is quite prestigious.He was an old minister of the Yuan Dynasty and served as a teacher in Guangxi.After the Ming Dynasty, many imperial examination systems were formulated by him alone.That year, he was 78 years old, and he was ordered to die.

The exam process went very smoothly, Liu Sanwu strictly enforced the rules he set, and no one cheated.But now when the list was released, he was scolded bloody.

Rumors soon drifted into Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.

Zhu Yuanzhang Longyan was furious, and sent someone to thoroughly investigate the case, and all those involved in the case were detained until they were found out and tried again.He also mentioned the test papers of the northern candidates and personally reviewed them.

Qianqing Palace.

The little eunuch stood by the table, not daring to breathe.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a vermilion pen in his hand and looked at the test paper with his eyes locked.After reading one copy and another, two hours in a row passed, and after reading dozens of test papers of northern candidates, they frowned tightly.
