I am Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I was born in a commoner family, experienced the desperate situation of begging and becoming a monk, and managed step by step in the troubled times. With the foresight of "building walls high, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly", I defeated the heroes, unified the world, and finally established the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
I have a heart for the common people and know the suffering of the grassroots. After ascending the throne, he managed the affairs of the state, worked hard and fast, did little in corvee and paid little in taxes, appeased the refugees, recuperated and recuperated, and tried his best to make the war-torn people live and work in peace and contentment. I have a broad mind, make good use of talented people, and plan the overall situation, laying the foundation for a century of Ming Dynasty. But a life of ups and downs and troubles made me full of suspicion and hard to trust people. In order to stabilize the imperial power and eliminate officialdom, we have an iron fist against corruption, severe punishments and regulations, severely punish corrupt officials and sycophants who disrupt the government, and eradicate the founders of the country who have made great contributions to the country.
I have a long-term vision, abolishing the prime minister, establishing regulations, establishing systems, and regulating the order of the court; but I am also paranoid and conservative by nature, strictly control society and thoughts, and stick to the old system of governing the country in order to maintain the country forever. Everyone in the world says that I am complicated and contradictory. I spend half my life as a people and half my life as a king. There are emperors who love their people and are ruthless. Their merits and demerits, as well as all kinds of praise and criticism, are all left for future generations to comment on.
