Zhu Yuanzhang killed the hero, and the gold medal for avoiding death appeared. Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, and the words behind him were revealed
In 1328, a boy named Zhu Yuanzhang was born into a poor peasant family. His parents were both descendants of the old soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, so he was determined to serve the country since he was a child. Unfortunately, the Yuan soldiers captured his father, who died soon after. His mother took him and his younger brother to the streets to beg.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped reading it for two days. He was a smart, brave, and capable man, but unfortunately he came from a humble background and could only be the king of this peasant family. When the young Zhu Yuanzhang walked under the monk's robe and saw the rebel army wearing a red scarf, he had great ambitions in his heart. He could no longer endure the boring life of a monk and decided to become a great hero who solved problems for the people.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang wants to become a big hero, he knows that if he wants to realize his dream, he must first have power. So, he traveled everywhere, made a wide range of contacts, and gained power. He observed the people's feelings, experienced the people's livelihood and hardships, and strengthened his determination to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and establish a peaceful and happy Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's sense of justice and national integrity are the foundation of his success.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to Haozhou at the age of 16 and defected to Guo Zixing. Soon he was promoted to team leader and bravely led his team. Guo Zixing discovered his talent and promoted him to be a confidant. Later, Guo Zixing died in battle. Zhu Yuanzhang led his army south and occupied the city of Jinling at that time.
The strategically important Jinling soon became Zhu Yuanzhang's base camp. Here, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited troops, recruited talents, and grew in power. He knows how to recruit troops and improve the skills of those who follow him. He also knows how to judge the situation and give way to the overall situation in a timely manner. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's power increased day by day, laying a solid foundation for his later way of governing the country.
Two. At the same time, the two major forces of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang also occupy a large area of territory and are actively preparing for war. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that an extraordinary situation was about to appear, and immediately showed extraordinary vision and courage - he decided to strike first and break through one by one.
Zhu Yuanzhang realized that the situation was unfavorable to him, and he had to take the initiative to win the final victory. After careful consideration, he decided to deal with Chen Youliang first. Although Chen Youliang is strong, he does not pose a threat to his heart. On the contrary, Zhang Shicheng was more cunning and ruthless, and if Chen Youliang joined forces to deal with them, the situation would be dangerous.
With the help of the strategist Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to join forces to block Chen Youliang's attack. Although Chen Youliang resisted hard, he was still unable to defeat Zhu Yuanzhang's army. After Chen Youliang's defeat, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly turned to Zhang Shicheng and finally defeated Zhang Shicheng's army.
In these battles, Zhu Yuanzhang fully demonstrated his outstanding military command ability and perfect execution of actions. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang captured the capital and officially established the Ming Dynasty, creating a legend from cowboy to emperor.
Three generations of surnames. Zhu Yuanzhang has grown from a shepherd boy to a generation of overlords, and countless soldiers have been born and died under his efforts, and their contributions are indispensable. Li Shanchang was one of the most important advisers under Zhu Yuanzhang. His relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang is also a rather interesting story.
Li Shanchang is also a handsome and dashing young man, but his family is not wealthy. One day, Li Shanchang saw a beautiful girl in the bazaar, fell in love at first sight, and wanted to take her as a concubine. But he didn't have enough money to buy a good house.
At this time, Guo Zixing gathered soldiers and horses and came to Li Shanchang's village. Li Shanchang was taken aback and thought: If you follow Guo Zixing to do a career, you can make a lot of money and realize your dreams! So, he joined Guo Zixing's army.
Li Shanchang wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous world, not only for money and beauty, but also for his compatriots who were born and died. The flame of solving problems for the country and the people is also burning in his heart. Li Shanchang was born intelligent and quickly rose to prominence in the army.
Li Shanchang performed well in the army. Guo Zixing admired him very much, and even gave him several of his beautiful concubines. With wealth and beauty, Li Shanchang felt that he was one step closer to his dream of being a girl.
But Li Shanchang is not only interested in fame and fortune, under Guo Zixing, he has won many battles. All he needs is a bigger stage to fulfill his ambitions and dreams.
In 1355, Zhu Yuanzhang encountered a strong enemy while attacking the city of Jinling and found himself in trouble. At this time, the meritorious Li Shanchang led his troops to the rescue. Zhu Yuanzhang admired this young man very much and took him under his command.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Shanchang was not only a soldier, but also a far-sighted thinker, who could face changes without fear. Such a talent is exactly what he needs. Since then, Li Shanchang has become one of Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted confidants.
Under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang was well aware of the enemy's intrigues and tricks, and was able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities and win by surprise, helping Zhu Yuanzhang complete the reunification of the country step by step.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang was appointed as the left minister of the Ming Dynasty, and assisted Zhu Yuanzhang together with Hu Weiyong, the right minister of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang also trusted and relied on Li Shanchang very much, and gave him a gold medal for avoiding death.
The Gold Medal for Avoiding Death, as the name suggests, can save a person's life. But on the back of the medal it is written"Except for treason and sedition, death is not avoided", which means that treason is unforgivable. This also became a symbol and symbol of Li Shanchang's ultimate fate.
Li Shanchang was not excited to win the gold medal for avoiding death, but he was grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang for his trust. In his heart, he is grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang for trusting him more than anything. At the same time, it also inspired his desire to establish long-term peace and stability in the new palace.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent power from being too concentrated in the hands of Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang hoped to develop Liu Bowen's power to contain Hu Weiyong. Liu Bowen is Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, who has participated in many major battles with Li Shanchang and has made outstanding achievements.
But Hu Weiyong is powerful in the DPRK and is not Liu Bowen's opponent at all. In the end, Hu Weiyong killed Liu Bowen. Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes and was dissatisfied with Hu Weiyong for a long time.
Li Shanchang also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to keep Hu Weiyong, but he didn't interfere too much. Because he felt that the disputes in the court would affect the big cases, it was better to remain neutral. However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Shanchang should support Liu Bowen, which planted the seeds of suspicion in the future.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly learned from the servants of Hu Weiyong's family that Hu Weiyong was preparing to rebel. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately killed Hu Weiyong. He also implicated tens of thousands of people related to Hu Weiyong.
The coup shook the palace and frightened all the ministers. Li Shangyin saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion that the loyal ministers died and the powerful ministers died. He began to think about his place in the palace.
After the Hu Weiyong incident, Li Shanchang was also suspected of befriending Hu Weiyong. However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw his outstanding achievements and relented in his heart.
During this period, Li Shanchang should retire to his hometown and stay away from the center of power. But he was still immersed in the glory and wealth of the past, and continued to do whatever he wanted, repeatedly disobeying the emperor's orders.
Friends and relatives advised him to leave the palace, but he refused. Li Shanchang still hopes to return to power and create another brilliant future. Once, one of Li Shanchang's sons was executed for violating the palace ban. Li Shanchang entered the palace to sue Zhu Yuanzhang for intercession. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and almost killed him on the spot.
This incident made Zhu Yuanzhang completely lose patience with Li Shanchang. Previous suspicions are piling up. Zhu Yuanzhang began to plot a conspiracy to dig into Li Shanchang's heart.
After the Lan Yu case, Li Shanchang's relatives were prosecuted again and sentenced to death. Li Shanchang held the gold medal and pleaded again. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang lost patience.
In the winter of 1380, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly announced that Li Shanchang was planning a rebellion and that he and his family would be executed. Li Shanchang was kidnapped and taken to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Have you forgotten the gold medal I gave you for resurrection? "Zhu Yuanzhang asked mockingly.
Li Shanchang understood, and hurriedly took out a shining gold medal for avoiding death.
Look at the words engraved on the back! "Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.
Li Shanchang's hand shook suddenly, and he turned the gold medal over to take a look, only to see that it was engraved on the back"Except for betraying the great rebellion to avoid death"A few large golden letters.
It turned out that he was accused of treason and will never be forgiven!
Your Majesty, Minister Li Shanchang has been loyal all his life and has no regrets! "Li Shanchang pleaded.
I killed Hu Weiyong with my own hands because he rebelled. As the prime minister of Zuo, if you don't report the matter, you will know the difference between rebellion and not reporting. Go and dismember him! "Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was cold.
Li Shanchang knelt on the ground, crying bitterly and begging Zhu Yuanzhang for mercy. The surrounding judges also expressed their grief. Li Shanchang was once a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, but he ended up like this, which is embarrassing.
In the end, Li Shanchang, who was over seventy years old, died under Zhu Yuanzhang's sword. This tragedy was caused by his greed for power and lawlessness. Everyone at the scene felt sorry for Li Shanchang's tragic fate.
Li Shanchang made outstanding achievements in his life, but in his later years, he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang for restoration and greed for power. His tragedy reminds us that in the face of power, there must be reason and principle. Otherwise, let it go, and the loss will be difficult to make up. Li Shanchang's lesson deserves our serious reflection.
His failure also reflects the fact that success requires moral restraint, and ambition must have a bottom line. It is unrealistic to expect power to last forever. It would have been wise for him to avoid controversy throughout his life. Li Shanchang's life has taught future generations a valuable lesson of historical wisdom.
