Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang fought with his Chuyang Brigade and conquered the world in a hundred battles. Among them, his nephew Zhu Wenzheng, nephew Li Wenzhong, and adopted son Mu Ying each displayed their talents and made contributions to the world. Unfortunately, Zhu Wenzhenghong In one battle, he was the most accomplished among all the generals, and he was powerful among the people. However, it was a short-lived flower that only faded away in competition, which made people sigh.

Zhu Wenzheng was born in Fengyang, Anhui, and was the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Queen Ma cared for her like her own son. For a long time, "he dabbled in books and biographies, Rao Yongluo." From Zhu Yuanzhang, he crossed the river to take Jiqing and awarded his Privy Council colleagues for his merits. Zhu Yuanzhang was proclaimed King of Wu, and Zhu Wenzheng was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief to control the military affairs at home and abroad. And then Jiangxi was settled, and Zhu Wenzheng was stationed in the important town of Hongdu to protect the southwest. Wen Zheng ordered Ming Su to shock people far and near.

Chen Youliang led an army of 600,000 to besiege Hongdu. Wen Zheng defeated the enemy and held on for eighty-five days. Zhu Yuanzhang personally led his troops to rescue, Chen Youliang relieved the siege, and he and Zhu Yuanzhang were in a stalemate at Pengli . Wenzheng sent troops to burn his boats and cut off his food routes, and Youliang was defeated. Wenzheng also sent troops to pacify the unattached counties and pacify Jiangxi. Wenzheng made most of the contribution. Because Zhu Yuanzhang read the preface of Wenzheng and understood the general outline, he did not receive the reward. However, Wenzheng "cannot have too little hope, his nature is anxious, and he gets angry and loses his normal temper." Li Yinbing, the inspector, reported his arrogant and extravagant hope. Taizu sent envoys to question him. Wen Zheng was suspicious, but Li Yinbing said that he had different ambitions. When Zhu Yuanzhang went to Hongdu in person, he returned to the capital with the document in hand. After counting his crimes, Empress Ma protected him, and he was removed from office and placed in Tongcheng . He died of melancholy soon after, at the age of thirty.

Although Wen Zheng was unavoidable, he was the descendant of Qing Dynasty. In the third year of Hongwu's reign, Taizu granted his son Zhu Shouqian the title of King of Jingjiang. In the Ming Dynasty, he inherited the title for the fourteenth generation, and his honor rested with the country.

Zhu Wenzheng's death was caused by strange things. Because of his longing and different ambitions, he was slandered and died. I think back then, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wenzheng: "What official do you want?" Wenzheng replied: "My uncle has achieved great success, why worry about not being rich and noble? How can he serve the public before being rewarded personally?" Such a person knows the general situation and understands the overall situation. He held the position of Grand Governor, controlled all domestic and foreign military affairs, and had a high status. As for Hongdu’s great honor, why has he become narrow-minded? I am still worried about the reward, and my assessment of the situation before and after is so different. It is said that he had different ambitions and was dismissed from office and settled in Tongcheng. At the end of the day, Li Yinbing also killed him for other things. The records are vague and unclear, and it is unclear whether there is some hidden conspiracy hidden in them.

Zhu Yuanzhang once recalled the past to his nephew Zhu Shouqian and said: "Your father did not follow the instructions, forgot the hardships of the past, and acted wantonly and evil to cause trouble to me. Now that the way of great rebellion has been revealed, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed by others, so I summoned him to face him for trial. Although even gods and men would not tolerate such words, his evil plan became more and more widespread, because he was whipped."

Just imagine that at the time when the text was written, Spring and Autumn Fang was rich, had a great reputation, had high achievements and authority, and was in a position of authority. A place of suspicion. However, the disciples of Taizu were still young, and they were somewhat worried about their bravery and reputation. After the change of times, it was difficult to control them. Therefore, even if they made minor mistakes, they had to die, just like the Shu Han Liu Feng , although the crime would not lead to death. And it is difficult to protect his body.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had read history and biographies extensively, and he should know about Shi Hu, Shi Hu's nephew in the Sixteen Kingdoms, and Xiao Luan, Xiao Daocheng's nephew in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Shi Hu was the most brave at that time, and was favored by Shi Le, relying on the order of special expedition. Once Shi Le dies, his successor takes the throne. Shi Hu "became resentful at first, and always wanted to usurp". He killed the king to seize the throne, and slaughtered all Shi Le's descendants.

Xiao Luan's parents died early, and Xiao Daocheng regarded him as his own. That is to say, he accepted the imperial edict to assist the government, successively deposed King Yulin Xiao Zhaoye, King Hailing Xiao Zhaowen , and established himself as emperor. And Xiao Daocheng's descendants were also slaughtered.

Learn from the mistakes of the past and lessons from the future. Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. High merit is not rewarded, prestige is too great and one's body is in danger. I guess Zhu Yuanzhang should have prepared for a rainy day. The authenticity of it is unknown and has been submerged in the dust of history.
