Hongwu Secret Files: the Unknown History of Zhu Yuanzhang

🔥 Tomato's masterpiece of suspense detective work "Hongwu Secret Files: The Unknown History of Zhu Yuanzhang" reveals the taboo secret history of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty! 📜 Zhu Chongba, a cowherd boy who was born into poverty, went from being a beggar in Huangjue Temple to a hero of the Red Scarf Army, and finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor by stepping on the corpses of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. Behind this legend, there is a bloody mystery that is kept secret in official history: ⚔️ The dark side of the emperor's mind - The "four dishes and one soup" banquet was extravagant: in the third year of Hongwu's reign, he hosted a banquet for ministers, which was ostensibly an "incorruptible banquet" of turnips and greens. Li Chang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who had expanded the government office, was secretly executed, and he used the name of "benevolence" to carry out power and conspiracy; - Manipulation of the Desperate Legion: Before the Northern Expedition, 200 prisoners on death row were released, promising that "death in battle will avenge sins, and survivors will be reborn." In the Battle of Xuzhou, only 17 people survived, but the people chanted "The Holy King's Benevolence"; - The Reign of Terror in the Fish Scale Atlas: The yellow household registration book accurately records the birthmarks and lame characteristics of the people, and the names of the craftsmen are engraved on each brick of the Nanjing City Wall. If it collapses, no one dares to change it secretly - 600 years later. 🩸 The shocking layout of the bloody power struggle - Hu Weiyong's case of 30,000 heads: the abolition of the prime minister system to strengthen imperial power, implicating the "Four Gentlemen in Eastern Zhejiang" Liu Ji and Song Lian, and issuing the "Record of the Revealed to the Traitor Party" to implicate 30,000 people; - The Blue Jade Case of 15,000 Dead Souls: The Jin Yiwei informed the general of rebellion, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally issued an edict: "I know that you have not rebelled, but the whole court is looking forward to your death!" That night, Lan Yu "committed suicide", peeling off the skin and making grass to spread the message to the nine sides; - The cruel method of human sacrifice in the deep palace: the human sacrifice system abolished in the Qin and Han Dynasties was restored. 46 Concubines died for Zhu Yuanzhang. It was not abolished until Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty.
