He was the last prime minister of China, with power for seven years. Xu Da has no choice but to do anything to him. Liu Bowen was killed by him. Why did such a legendary figure end up being itchy to death?
Zhu Yuanzhang After unifying the Central Plains, the old brothers who followed him to conquer the world also had high officials and generous salaries. But everyone knows that when Lao Zhu first started his business, he recruited a group of talents in his hometown, so the initial team was all fellow villagers. After
, some people came to apply for the job. They thought that Lao Zhu's treatment was pretty good, so they called his fellow villagers, so Zhu Yuanzhang's team was composed of fellow villagers' associations.
When the world was pacified, the officials went to court to discuss matters and heard all kinds of dialects spray each other. You said, "You should try to coax Huang Zi." I said, "I will make you feel stingy." I don't accept anyone! The largest fellow villagers' association at that time was the Huaixi faction, which was Lao Zhu's entrepreneurial team, so they received considerable dividends and were extremely strong.
The boss of Huaixi Sect Li Shanchang is the prime minister of the head of all officials; and the Zhejiang East Sect led by Liu Bowen is not worthy of the Huaixi Sect at all. The bosses on both sides often fought, and later Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang both suffered losses and both went home to retire. This was the situation that Lao Zhu was happy to see.
But although Old Liu and Li retired, both sides have taken advantage of it. Before Liu Bowen left, he pushed Yang Xian up; Li Shanchang pushed Hu Weiyong up. In the end, the Li and Hu combination strengthened their momentum, defeating the Liu and Yang combination, and Hu Weiyong became the biggest winner.
From then on, Lao Hu became swelled, thinking that Li Shanchang was not as good as him and Liu Bowen was not as good as him, so he became more and more arrogant and domineering. Comrade Lao Hu didn’t think about it either. Li Shanchang’s first hero in the founding of the country, and Liu Bowen’s magic tricks, could you still be played with? The reason they stepped down was because there was a stronger person who was controlling all this behind their backs.
Which Hu Weiyong was also said to be cautious when he first became the prime minister. Unfortunately, everything has its beginnings and few ends, and most people cannot escape this law. Because of his high position and power, Hu Weiyong gradually expanded. He held the power of life and death alone. Many things should have been reported to the emperor before he could make decisions, but he also saved this step.
Hu Weiyong will read the memorials to the emperor from various departments in various places and regions. If there is any accusation, it will definitely be detained. At the same time, officials who dare to accuse him will also be worn. Many people who are tempted by the straitor began to surrender to Hu Weiyong's disciples, and there were endless people giving gifts and bribery.
Hu Weiyong did not refuse and accepted it as he wished. Some people may ask, there are so many founding heroes in the early Ming Dynasty, and they are still afraid of a rookie in the officialdom with their iron coupons on alchemy books?
In fact, most of these founding heroes are not clean, so how can they expose each other? Isn’t it good to make a fortune in silence? Of course, there are also people who hate evil, such as General Xu Da. He started his business with his boss Zhu Yuanzhang, and he fought with him with one sword and one shot. Why did he work so hard? It was not for the sake of the people and no longer being exploited by corrupt officials.
Now there is a powerful minister like Hu Weiyong, so Xu Da of course ran to complain to Zhu Yuanzhang. But Hu Weiyong was so bold that he actually wanted to murder Xu Da. Fortunately, Xu Da's servant could stand the test and was not bribed by Hu Weiyong. But Liu Bowen was in trouble!
Zhu Yuanzhang sent a doctor to see him, but Hu Weiyong instructed the doctor to poison him. Liu Bowen died not long after taking the medicine. Generally, people like this arrogant will not survive the finale.
According to folk legend, Hu Weiyong finally angered Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to strip his shirt naked and tie it to the woods for mosquitoes to bite it. Hu Weiyong became the first prime minister to be so itchy.
Of course, this is just a joke. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have that free time, he just cut off Hu Weiyong. It's just a big scar, and he will be another hero eighteen years later. But Hu Weiyong is so powerful that Xu Da and Liu Bowen cannot defeat him. Why did he behead him if he said he was killed? This is actually a very critical step for Zhu Yuanzhang!
The so-called "If you want to make him die, you will make him crazy."Zhu Yuanzhang is such a shrewd person. He knew very well what he had climbed up from the bottom step by step, and the tricks of officials who deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates. Most of the reason why Hu Weiyong is so arrogant is because Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately indulged him. Lao Zhu hated the most was corrupt officials, so why did he indulge him? This is the game of chess he played!
Lao Zhu is a person with a strong desire for power, or he has no sense of security. However, in the system before the early Ming Dynasty, there was a prime minister. This prime minister was the head of all officials and had very great power. Sometimes the emperor was restricted.
Look at Hu Weiyong withheld the memorial and persecuted his colleagues who impeached the report. If it were a foolish emperor, his power would have been emptied by the prime minister, so Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to cancel this position. But rashly canceling this position will definitely be opposed by the civil servant group. So he indulged Hu Weiyong and was arrogant. When he was guilty of more crimes, he would kill the chicken to warn the monkey and remove the position of prime minister by the way.
Of course, Hu Weiyong is not a good person. He dragged all the ministers in the court into the water. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to be punished, it would be impossible to kill so many ministers, right? Unfortunately, he was wrong this time!
Hu Weiyong has been arrogant for seven years. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had almost gained weight and was looking for an opportunity to kill him! At this time, there was a man named Tujie , who was the number one horseman under Hu Weiyong. Seeing that the news was wrong, he quickly reported Hu Weiyong. Zhu Yuanzhang finally waited for this moment and decisively killed Hu Weiyong.
About a month after Hu Weiyong was beheaded, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished his post as prime minister. At this time, there may be civil officials who are unwilling to give up and will jump out to fight. But Zhu Yuanzhang calculated all the steps taken by the civil officials. Didn’t Hu Weiyong drag a lot of people into the water? Then kill another group of people!
He also killed Tu Jie, who was sued, and then Lao Zhu spoke again, saying that he had a lot of evidence, and it depends on whether you can reform yourself, otherwise you will be killed. In this way, who else dares to sing the opposite tune can only watch Zhu Yuanzhang withdraw the prime minister.
, which lasted for more than a thousand years, disappeared in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. Hu Weiyong, the unlucky guy, became the terminator of the prime minister.
