Success Master
There is a question on Zhihu about Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang , "Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang delete and modify his history of being a beggar?"
Most of the answers to this question are that Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to delete and modify his history of being a beggar, and how he was inspiring.
starts with a bowl, and the equipment is all about fighting. The ancestors were poor peasants, their young parents died, and they became monks and traveled to eat Hundred Family Meals, and eventually won the world, just like an inspirational model for a successful person.
This bowl of chicken soup was taken in one bite and tears immediately filled my eyes, just a word "understand the applause". The tutor came out to empower everyone and took out the ticket to buy classes.
In recent years, most of the discussions about Zhu Yuanzhang on the Internet have been positive, such as the Ming Dynasty gained the right of the country and overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Revise the administration of officials, vigorously fight corruption, skin corrupt officials, and sue the officials, etc. Even Zhu Yuanzhang killed meritorious officials and repeatedly launched major cases and killed more than 100,000 people, which was praised as a "purification" of the upper-level management of the rule.

The era is progressing, and the mentality of fools may change, but the number has never decreased, and perhaps it has increased.
Theory is often boring, and the masters are very clever in combining theory with stories. Jack Ma , Liu Qiangdong , Lei Jun , Jobs These so-called successful entrepreneurs are frequent visitors in their stories.
"Insight into human nature, how to get rich quickly, the importance of connections, the art of language" and so on are their main topics for "teaching and solving doubts" (huyou).
from time to time, they also have to match their prophet-like deeds. Such "successful cases" + "personal demonstration" have captured a lot of worship and praise. The masters will also tell the various powerful people they interact with, and often make me feel that the masters are illusion that they are , the Warring States Period, , and are wearing the six kingdoms and the constituents.
may be that modern celebrity success stories are seriously homogenized. The masters reviewed past cases, introduced new things, and began to make a fortune.
They keenly perceive the psychological G-spots of the people and expand the science of success to the height of grand narrative and national inheritance.
For example, Zhou Wenqiang's "leader" in the science of success caters to the people's concept of "great unification" for thousands of years. It tells the story of the great cause of unification of King Qin , and combines the so-called glory of national inheritance with the great personality of Qin Shihuang.
In order to exaggerate this emotion, Master Zhou did not hesitate to fabricate history.
The following is part of the story of Qin Shihuang in Master Zhou’s teaching video:
"Then the future, Qin If there is a problem, millions of Qin troops will not be able to work hard for the king! Qin can be destroyed, but the Huaxia ethnic group cannot be destroyed. If your 400,000 army comes back, then Southern China will no longer belong to China, and this place will no longer belong to our ethnic group. So for the sake of the entire Chinese ethnic group and the entire nation, what is the point of sacrificing my Qin clan for the sake of the entire Chinese ethnic group and the entire nation."
According to Master Zhou, this passage was a secret edict issued by Qin Shihuang to Zhao Tuo . And to summarize the reason for the demise of Qin, the Qin army had 300,000 elite troops defending the Great Wall of , and 500,000 were defending the southern China, and no troops returned to the court.
and when Han Dynasty , Zhao Tuo also submitted a memorial to Emperor Wen of Han , saying that he had been entrusted by Qin Shihuang to defend southern China for the entire Chinese ethnic group. Now that he surrenders, he does not need to be named King of Nanyue .
, such a "historical story" that makes people laugh, is filled with his videos, and often hundreds of thousands of likes. It is quite ironic that the video is marked "This video is to guide the correct values."
It turns out that the joke "I am Qin Shihuang, I'm making money" is not fake.
To be honest, I would rather believe that this is the navy that Master Zhou spent money to hire, than believe that this is the little finger ticked by thousands of people who have received nine years of modern compulsory education.

Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo
So back to the initial question, "Why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang delete and modify the history of being a beggar?"
In 1328 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family. In the third year of Zhizheng (1343), a drought occurred in his hometown, including locust plague and plague. In less than half a month, Zhu Yuanzhang's father, elder brother and mother died one after another. Only Zhu Yuanzhang and his second brother were left. The family had no money to buy a coffin, and the land where the parents were buried was the land of other people's families.
In order to survive, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to become a monk at Huangjue Temple. Unfortunately, the monks were not rich under the drought. The 17-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang was kicked out of the temple and began his three-year begging career.
At present, whether from the "Taizu Records" or the " Ming Dahao " written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, Zhu Yuanzhang has not concealed any of his "Good the right commoner" from a slightly cold background. In order to ensure the precepts of the descendants of later generations, he even denied the original imperial tomb stele of the Confucian ministers and personally wrote " Imperial Imperial Tomb Stele ". The inscription did not erase his origin and even his experience as a monk.
Imperial Imperial Mausoleum Stele
It seems that at this time, we can already determine that Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide his background as a monk and a beggar, and he was broad-minded and generous.
However, the old fox who have been in the workplace for many years understand one thing.
The leader is polite to you. If you are really polite, then the leader will be really rude to you.
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very taboo for others to use or say the words "light", "shi", "monk", "he", and "shang".
The "disaster of the Declaration" in the middle and late period of Zhu Yuanzhang's reign continued from Hongwu to the 29th year of Hongwu. During this period, countless people were beheaded because of violating Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo words.
One year, Changzhou Prefecture School Training Guidance Jiang Zhen presented the "Zhengdan Congratulations" similar to the greeting card for relatives and friends today, but this was presented to congratulate the emperor. In the congratulations, there is "Rare Nature and Knowing", and "Sheng" is pronounced similarly, so if you violate the taboo, you will be killed.
Zhu Yuanzhang celebrated his birthday and someone submitted a "New Year's Day Greeting Form". There was a sentence in which "Text Qian and Dharma Kun, and the algae decorate Taiping" was originally some praises. After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the pronunciation of "Fa Kun" was "Fai Han", and the pronunciation of "Algae Decorate Taiping" was similar to "losing Taiping early", and he violated the taboo to kill him!
Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Zhu Yunwen as the crown prince. The local government’s academic instructors presented the local congratulatory presentation "The Congratulations of the crown prince" with a congratulatory presentation, which included a sentence: "Forever for billions of years, there is a way in the world, I will visit Qingmen." Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "Qingmen" implied a temple, and the pronunciation of "youdao" is the same as "you thief", so he violated the taboo to kill him!
There is a minister who is good at writing articles and congratulates him: "There is a world that is born and born, and he is a man of the world." Zhu Yuanzhang's routine operation was performed and was furious after reading it: "Life is a monk, and I have once been a monk. 'Guang' is shang (tì) and it is pronounced as 'zhe'.' The pronunciation of the word 'zhe' is close to 'thief'." Kill it if you violate the taboo!
There are countless similar examples, all of which are congratulatory statements or thank you poems. Zhu Yuanzhang read it and used his brains to turn around. He was furious and beheaded him if he violated the taboo.
A founding emperor who owns the world, suspects that people laugh at his origin, despise his authority, and kills ministers by writing, which only shows his meanness and mercy and suspicion and uneasiness in his heart.
A person who was once illiterate to be an emperor was simply a nightmare for literati.

Dragon Slaying Boy
Zhu Yuanzhang traveled to the bottom for many years when he was young, suffering all the sufferings of the world, and knew the sufferings of the bottom. He had special feelings for the farmers at the bottom. He was used to seeing many local officials disregarding the sufferings of the people, indulging in pleasure, greedy for money and lust, and farmers were exploited and exploited by landlords and officials. After Zhu Yuanzhang took over the world, he recalled these experiences and hated corrupt officials who harmed the people.
These all directly affect Zhu Yuanzhang's political decisions as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
He established a harsh legal system, which recorded in ancient China, and the emperor with the greatest anti-corruption efforts and the most ruthless measures were undoubtedly Zhu Yuanzhang. He personally tried the serious case, killing officials who embezzled more than 60 taels of silver, and peeling daylily to warn those who were later. Each village has a " Shenmingting Pavilion ", and the people can directly send corrupt officials. There is also a drum of injustice, and the people of the people can go to the capital to beat the drum and report the imperial complaint.
Looking at this place, it seems that it can be said that the Holy Emperor is in power, the people live and work in peace and contentment, do not close their doors at night, and do not pick up their own remains on the road.
But this is not the case.
Zhu Yuanzhang never tolerated corrupt officials, and he has been so cruel to ministers since ancient times.
Hongwu four major cases " empty seal case , Guo Huan case , Hu Weiyong case , Lan Yu case ", killing more than 100,000 people in the past and after, which can be said to be like a murder.
The other side of "zero tolerance" for officials' corruption is his "benevolence" towards his clan relatives. When clan relatives commit crimes, officials and relevant yamen only have the power to report and do not have the power to arrest them.
The descendants of the old Zhu family have had a portion of rice since their birth. The prince can receive 50,000 stones of rice, 25,000 stags of banknotes, forty pieces of brocade, three hundred pieces of silk, hundreds of pieces of yarn and yarn, and five hundred pieces of silk every year. There are 1,000 pieces of cloth in winter and summer, 2,000 taels of silver, 200 taels of salt, and 1,000 kilograms of tea.
The legitimate son of the old Zhu family can be crowned as king at the age of ten, and is equipped with 3,000 guards, most of which are nearly 10,000. The royal palace covers an area of tens of thousands of hectares and a large number of 800,000 mu. "All of them are taken from the fertile land of Zhongji Prefectures and County." The children of the royal family were granted titles until the sixth dynasty and were given a title for life.
Hongwu case stills
Zhu Yuanzhang reigned for 31 years and launched six large-scale anti-corruption campaigns, killing more than 100,000 corrupt officials. His anti-corruption campaign was carried out throughout the whole process, but corruption has never been eradicated. In his later years, he could only issue "Drug in the morning and offend in the evening, and the same is true for the morning; the corpse has not moved but the man continues to follow, and the healing heals and offends more often." lamented.
TV series "The Great Case of Hongwu" starring Zhu Yuanzhang, whose Fengyang fellow villager could not be exploited by officials, was arrested in front of Zhu Yuanzhang after failing to rebel. Zhu Yuanzhang asked the thief fellow villagers why they didn’t sue the official when they were exploited?
The thief fellow was righteous: "Why didn't you sue the official when you rebel?" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a moment.
In this way, the national policies formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, vigorously anti-corruption and killing corrupt officials, are just a delusion to heal childhood trauma. He is like Tang Jikede from Cervantes , holding a spear in hand and rushing towards the bureaucratic system that has been passed down for thousands of years, but he doesn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang himself is the evil dragon sitting on the feudal autocratic system.
Under the feudal autocratic centralized system, the Ming Dynasty was not aimed at social development, and its pursuit was nothing more than occupying more land and people, levied more taxes and corvee.
Zhu Yuanzhang implemented many "people-friendly" and "conscientious" policies, such as Yangjiyuan, 图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图图� If ordinary people do not have the route 5 issued by the government, they will leave the local area and be arrested and sent to the official position. At the least, they will be exiled, and at the worst, they will be beheaded.
He divided the household registration of the people into civil, military, , craftsmanship, and the son followed his father's family and passed down from generation to generation.
Zhu Yuanzhang tried to use this policy to tie farmers to the land and serve as farmers for generations. Craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, and military households have been military for generations. No one can cross the line. Among them, military households and craftsmen were very miserable. They could not participate in the imperial examinations, but also had to deal with heavy labor service. They had no land and could not intermarry with the households, and their status was very low.
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of governing the country seems to be "friendly" and "compassionate with the people", but in fact, the instrumentalization of people is his ultimate pursuit.
What Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to establish was a social structure with clear hierarchy, rigorous order, and almost rigid.It’s no wonder that Huang Renyu said that Zhu Yuanzhang was not building an empire, but building a huge countryside.
In my opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of political use is no essential difference from emperors of all dynasties. They are not governing the country, but just governing the people!
Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to cure corruption and corruption, and reached the limit of his clothes and food. He only minimized the tax losses in the operation of the bureaucratic system, maintained the sustainable development of their Zhu family, and built the descendants of the Zhu family into privileged classes, and enjoyed wealth forever!

suspicion and suspicion
Qing Dynasty historian Zhao Yi once commented on Zhu Yuanzhang "a man named Ming Zu, a sage, hero, and thief, who is actually both."
Zhu Yuanzhang, with many faces, has inferiority, narrowness and suspicion in his personality, which may be related to his childhood background. Poverty, hungry, and stalemate made him extremely insecure and was very suspicious of others, which was particularly obvious after he sat on the dragon throne. He established the supervisory officials of the Jinyiwei and governed the country with spies. The heroes who once followed him to fight the world were almost slaughtered.
In the middle and late Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang killed officials and caused many officials and literati to be tremble and unwilling to become officials. Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the "Three Collections of the Great Edicts" and stipulated that "the scholars and officials in the world do not use the emperor for their own use. If they are outside their teachings, they will punish their bodies and lose their families, and they will not do anything wrong."
Before, literati and officials were dissatisfied with the court and could not go to office. Now that you don’t serve as a slave for the king, your property will be confiscated.
Ordinary people have suspicious personalities, which is nothing more than family conflicts. , if an emperor with infinite power is suspicious, it will be a disaster for his ministers and the world.
I believe that in the future, there may be so-called master liars, like Master Zhou, dress up Zhu Yuanzhang's story. They will sell history to people as stories that are warm, grand, inspirational or touching.
Some of these masters have already admitted that they are liars, such as Zhai.
But we are so ridiculous that we can only hear the profound discussion and exposure of social issues from a liar Zhai Shanying . Is this Zhai Shanying’s personal success or the failure of our entire society? How is the ridiculous reality of
the liar revealing lies?
Looking at the many ancient emperors, they were able to care about the sufferings of the people like Zhu Yuanzhang and introduce policies to implement them. Among them, the Confucian people-oriented idea is indeed commendable.
From the perspective of the dynasty, it certainly cannot completely deny Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.
, these so-called people-oriented ideas are nothing more than flowers in the mirror and moon in the water under the feudal autocratic system. The so-called benevolence and people-oriented are just some beautiful guises. Behind these guises, there are often corpses and greed.
Marx once said, "The autocratic system must be animalistic and incompatible with human nature. The only principle of the autocratic system is to despise human beings and make people unable to be human."
We modern people, especially as Chinese people. The painful lessons of the feudal autocratic era of emperors in the late Qing Dynasty were imprinted in the hearts of the entire nation. Why do you still have to fantasize about this kind of dream of a saint and a pure official? Why do you still enjoy watching these songs of killing corrupt officials?
Zhu Yuanzhang was unable to break away from the rut due to the times and his own knowledge. We cannot ask the long-standing Ming Taizu to lead the people of the Ming Dynasty to break the shackles, develop science, and liberate productivity.
, but what about us?
We have been 324 years since Zhu Yuanzhang's era, and 110 years have passed since the Qing emperor Puyi abdicated. We are still tireless and interested in the stories of the emperor and praise the legend of the emperor. Do we Chinese need an emperor, or does every Chinese live in our hearts?
Sorry!
Forgive me for not being able to tell a legendary story of a beggar who has experienced all difficulties and dangers and has sat on the throne of the emperor.
This is just a story of a dragon slaying boy who finally becomes an evil dragon.
I understand people’s desire and expectations for legendary stories. Unfortunately, in the story of the real world Dragon Quest, we are not just audiences, but many people do not realize this.
I have become tired of the emperor's stories, I would rather listen to fairy tales.
At least a little boy said to the emperor,
You are not wearing any clothes.
So, what about you?
What story do you want to hear?
Your encouragement is like the moon, which will illuminate me who is groping in the dark, and one day it will illuminate you and them!
If you like my article, I look forward to your attention, likes and forwardings. Thank you very much!
