Let's talk about Zhu Yuanzhang He was a diligent emperor. At that time, we used four words: "Do everything yourself" He has to handle everything himself. Of course this kind of emperor That's better than not being so diligent. Not such a hands-on emperor That was a lot of hard work. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang Can you bear so much hardship to run this country? I think there is a very important reason. For Zhu Yuanzhang This world is just like his own home. So we also call it the family, the country and the world That's why Zhu Yuanzhang had to work hard. He doesn't work hard. He is worried about his family business. How can you work so hard? In addition to the things we talked about, he personally Besides dealing with these things We also talked about Talking about Zhu Yuanzhang There is a legend He said he particularly loved trying cases. Cases big and small He has to go to the trial himself. Has anyone heard of the emperor trying a case? What if the emperor wants to try the case? What a big case. Let the emperor judge Zhu Yuanzhang did not pardon Small cases are also tried So there are many legends about his trials. First of all, there is a famous story. Say there was one time Zhu Yuanzhang's meritorious officials committed a crime What crime did the hero commit? Not a big case Prostitution This hero solicited prostitution What scandal has this incident exposed? What to do then? A big fuss Zhu asked Zhu Yuanzhang to handle it Zhu Yuanzhang has to deal with this matter. He has selfish motives. He thought of my hero Why do you go to prostitution? That must be your fault. Seduced them. So he doesn't go. Dealing with these heroes He's going to deal with that girl. So there is such a legend It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to try this case This girl was put in jail. The emperor will personally interrogate the next day. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night. Crying all day He's crying. The old man who was guarding the prison was called Zhongshu Laoli. An old clerk in the Ministry of Justice of the Secretariat I feel sorry for this girl. Just tell him Girl, stop crying. What's the use of crying? You might as well prepare to see the emperor tomorrow. What are you saying? What did the girl say? I can't say anything. Am I not just waiting to die? This Zhong Shu Lao Li said So how are you going to meet the Emperor? He said, "How can I dare to see the emperor?" I must be careful. Right? I will never dare to dress up and cause trouble again. Lao Li is wrong If you are like this You're dead. You listen to me You get up early tomorrow morning You should dress well in the future More effort than you usually put into dressing up Dressed up beautifully You go see the emperor Maybe you can escape this disaster. This girl is skeptical But after all, he is an old official in the Ministry of Justice. It's right to listen to the old man Well, I fell asleep soundly. The next morning when I woke up Just follow Lao Li's instructions. I dressed up carefully Dressed up Waiting to see the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the hall. This case is going to be tried. Come on, send me the photo of that girl from yesterday. So I brought this girl here. After bringing this girl here Zhu Yuanzhang looked from a distance. A very beautiful girl came in A bright spot Why No wonder my hero seduced her. Yes, this girl is really beautiful. She's well dressed too. Forget it. Forget it. This is not surprising Everyone loves beauty This case is over. This is a legend. Is this true? That's hard to say. Yeah, let's just listen. What does this story reflect? It reflects Zhu Yuanzhang's judgment of cases. I found such a detail. It's just a small thing He also has to ask himself Don't you think this is a problem? Your Majesty is busy with all sorts of things There are so many things waiting for you to do. Then you also do these little things Then you are not exhausted But Zhu Yuanzhang is this person He doesn't care about this. Why are you worried? I don't ask others What is the result? have no idea What if this incident affects the political power of my Zhu family? That's it. You see there is another Zhu Yuanzhang A story about judging things yourself That's different from this. Everyone knows The early Ming Dynasty The country's grain needs to be transported here and there Because he received all the food. In the hands of the state Then the state will allocate funds for use That would require a lot of grain ships. Then build a grain ship Wooden boat Oh, how much is it? How much does this cost? Why is it so expensive? Then you settle the account How much does this wood cost? How much does labor cost? You said you don't have that much money. Why do you say that? There are still a lot of nails in this boat. That nail is very valuable. But I can't see it inside the nail But it is true that there are So this is the amount of money for this ship. This thing is just a mouthful You say you don't believe it Then you say How can you tell how many nails are hammered in there? Zhu Yuanzhang has a way What can we do? Someone, find me a boat. The finished ship Set a fire Burn it for him Burn it and say Go find all the nails in there. That's right, the boat is made of wood. Once it's burned out The nails won't burn. It's all there. Pick up this nail How much is one weigh? This is a boat with so many I don't care how much you use. Just calculate it for me according to this number. Do you think Zhu Yuanzhang is powerful? You said he doesn't handle this matter personally? Of course, these are all legends. And what about the story of this legend? Some also say that this is a wish-making event in the Song Dynasty. It's not Zhu Yuanzhang's business Let me think that even if it was Xu Yuan's story in the Song Dynasty Then why don't you know? How does he know others? Why can't you use this method? Go deal with this matter. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang have the solution? Deal with this matter. Be careful He treats these things as his own business. This is my own family's business. It's not an outsider's business You don't handle it well A boat costs so much Ten boats, a hundred boats Thousands of ships How much will the country spend? How much money? Maybe for an official He doesn't care The Emperor doesn't think so. Because he thinks this country is his All Under Heaven Is it the king's land? All the land belongs to the king All of this world, this land Everyone in this land is an emperor certainly We say that this emperor regards the country as his own home Not a good thing We said today that it is not a good thing Right? Why? Why should this country be ruled by just you? But everyone wants to That's in history. In ancient geological conditions, This emperor regarded this country as his own home Treat it as your own business It's better for him than not treating it as his own business. No matter what happens A foolish emperor He is very leisurely He is not tired either. But what about national affairs? There should be a problem The rich aroma of Jiugui Liquor reminds you to continue your wonderful life. State-owned and State-law Every family has its own rules But Zhu Yuanzhang treated the case with courtesy. Things that are difficult to tolerate by law But I forgive him with koi Why is this? Series: Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, pointed out the country and the world Zhu Yuanzhang compared the country to a home I see myself as the patriarch of this empire. Then everything at home is He cares about Ask all State-owned and State-law Every family has its own rules But sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang put his own family rules above the law In history In addition to major cases Zhu Yuanzhang also personally tried some minor cases When his own self-righteousness goes against the law of the country How did Zhu Yuanzhang solve the case? There is such a case He said he was in the capital at that time. There was a businessman named Shi The businessman went into business with his friend This businessman named Shi He not only does business And he has a very beautiful wife My wife is beautiful Liang, his partner has a bad idea. Hey, I wonder what about this businessman named Shi? My wife is so beautiful Right? Oh, I want to get it. That's great. The two of them went out to do business together Doing Business Wait until the business is done. When I come back The businessman surnamed Shi did not come back. His friend is back. Come back and report that something happened Your husband is the businessman named Shi He fell into the river and drowned Natural and man-made disasters No one can do anything Died outside I'm sad too There's another witness. There is also this official document from the government This matter is settled. What happens after it's decided? After the businessman surnamed Shi died No children Only his wife is left. then This friend proposed to the wife of the businessman named Marry me then Let's go together We know each other again Know the root and the bottom This woman has no choice. I think it's OK Marry him. It's good for two people to live together She also gave birth to two sons Life is pretty good. There is such a day It's raining heavily. Heavy rain In the blink of an eye The yard is full of water. What about this family? Can't go out Hey, just watch the rain at home What about the two children? Playing under the porch He was playing I saw a toad in the water. He just climbed up this staircase. There is a child among them. I took a stick and poked him into the water. The couple is also watching here This kid is playing here. What about this guy? I couldn't help but say this to myself. Talk about those days Your husband That's it This woman heard it. I was stunned and said that my husband is like this What kind of That's when someone poked you into the water with a stick. Who stabbed it? I kept asking. He never gives up As soon as I asked This guy can't help it. I have no choice but to tell the truth I missed you too much at the beginning. Then I saw him fall into the water I don't want to save him He's going to climb up. I think he shouldn't climb up. I also gave him a stick and followed him down The woman didn't say anything. The next day Wait until this guy gets out. He killed his two sons. I went to report to the police myself. Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this. Zhu Yuanzhang came to personally interrogate the matter How did Zhu Yuanzhang interrogate? Zhu Yuanzhang said that this woman avenged her husband This is called a fierce woman Not only is he not guilty And to honor him His step-husband That's a murderer. That's to catch him. To be sentenced to death Zhu Yuanzhang personally tried the case Alas, this is the result of the trial. Think about it This Zhu Yuanzhang is very interesting. ah In theory Is Zhu Yuanzhang right? Makes sense But judging from the specific case that happened at that time This woman killed two innocent children. Why did he kill these two children? Because these two children She is the descendant of the man who killed her husband. Right? This was the moral concept at that time. Very easy to be accepted by everyone This is how Zhu Yuanzhang handled the case You see, he has his purpose. He has his own orientation. Okay, let's talk about one more. Still in the capital at that time There is such a captain He's just a soldier. Hey, he has a wife. This lady is also very beautiful But this lady She is different from the businessman named Shi. Bad character Why? She knows she's beautiful. She stands at the gate every day, showing off Show off his beauty What is it called in history books? Self-display Show off your beauty Aren't you asking for trouble? Sure enough, it was the one on the street Those young people who are wandering around Hey, I hooked up with him. There is such a guy called handsome, right? With him two people A mutual affection Appointment Quietly came to Xiao Wei's house Hiding under the bed Wait until the captain goes to work He can come out and be with the captain's wife Two people dating Xiao Wei's wife also puts in a lot of effort It's still early at five in the morning He got up. Urge Xiao Wei to go to work quickly Don't be late. Just wake up the husband Let your husband go to work quickly How could Xiao Hui know about this? Pack up and get ready to go I walked out a few steps and came back Because it's too early He is afraid that his wife will get cold. It's getting cold, cover yourself with clothes Clip to the quilt Tuck in the quilt. Tell you to have a good rest Only then did I leave with peace of mind After he left? The handsome guy who came to date him came out. He saw all of this just now. He is under the bed He knows He asked this woman He said your husband loves you so much. So good to you. What did this woman say? He said what is this? I tell you My husband treats me much better. Such and such It's like this He boasted about it. The more I listen to this handsome guy, the more uncomfortable he becomes. Didn't say anything Gone The two of them agreed to get a discount the next day. When the discount This handsome guy brought a knife Wait till the discount comes. He killed this woman. Then he ran away There's a murder. The government will investigate. No clues at all I had to put aside the conflicts in my daily interactions with others. Various people were arrested A group of people Arrested these people During the interrogation What policies were there at that time? torture Some people can't stand the torture. Just admit that I killed him. He pleaded guilty. This matter has been widely spread in society. So what is the real crime? What about this suspect? He also heard about the criminal. I heard that I felt bad. He wants How can I let someone else take the blame for me? To die for me? Since I have done so well, He surrendered himself to the authorities. His surrender This case has to be tried. The government can't make up its mind. How to judge this? You said he killed someone How can you kill people casually? But you said he didn't kill this woman. Indeed, he also felt that he should be killed. Now I'll hand it over to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang came to judge Zhu Yuanzhang said, why do we need to discuss this? This guy is a council member. He doesn't care about the killings. He felt he was killing for justice. So what about Zhu Yuanzhang? Not only did they not deal with the murderer, He also commended Everyone, listen These two cases are the more complicated ones. But what is its core? It is a traditional moral What qualifications do you have to kill people? Including the mother How could you kill your own son? It's definitely illegal. The law clearly states You can't do that. Zhu Yuanzhang violated the law He put the moral values ​​he believed in Placed at the highest position Right? One is The descendant of the enemy who killed her husband reported to the police One is Killed a woman who was unfaithful to her husband Surrender He only saw this Is this layout clear? We all understood it as soon as we heard it What is he promoting? What are you promoting? Nothing more than four words Loyalty, Filial Piety, Chastity and Righteousness This is the emperor of every dynasty. They all care very much Because only loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness Such a moral concept The people below him will not rebel. He will do everything according to the emperor's wishes. So this is Zhu Yuanzhang promoting the so-called "Fathers" The real purpose of the so-called discussion The rich aroma of Jiugui Liquor reminds you to continue your excitement From a Sheep Thief to the Frontier Land An Lushan It only took 9 years These 9 years Changed An Lushan's fate It also rewrote the history of the Tang Dynasty Ma Family Forum launches series of programs: The Back of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty Although Zhu Yuanzhang promoted the so-called loyal ministers and righteous men Chaste woman Even at the cost of violating the laws of the country But these extreme cases are rare after all. To ensure long-term stability of the country We also need to settle the vast number of people across the country In addition to material comfort and well-being They should also feel a sense of belonging spiritually. If you agree, then outside the trial What else does Zhu Yuanzhang need to do? Do you still remember We have talked about A book written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself The big notice is full of cases. But what does that case mean? It's about the treatment of corrupt officials, right? As for those Liang leaders who harmed the people The treatment of parents Even including some legal For example, destroying a military marriage? You don't want to serve the emperor? All kinds of things But these things These were the mainstream political issues at the time. And what we just talked about These small cases among the people are different Look at how meticulous Zhu Yuanzhang was. He was so meticulous that he found out a small murder case among the people. Take it out and write an article Make it a big article Let everyone know how you should behave. This is the real Zhu Yuanzhang His intention That’s why So Zhu Yuanzhang handled the case Sometimes he doesn't even consider the law. A father committed a crime Should be punished with this caning Should be beaten My son is here Talk to the government Don't hit my father. He's that old. Say I'm young Shouldn't he be caned? So that I can be punished with this caning. Look at the filial son. Zhu Yuanzhang knew So filial No need Free from caning Everyone is clear now, right? It's not that a child was caned for his father. I'm going to promote him like this Why should I promote him? Because there are too many people in this world who are unwilling to do this. Not only do you refuse to do so When you see your loved ones suffering He doesn't care That's why I'm going to bend the law for the filial son today. What does Qufa mean? Grievance Law I just put the law aside. I put filial piety first. What is the purpose? To benefit the world Look, you guys said it, right? I just want to let everyone know how to do things This is Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose So Zhu Yuanzhang handled these matters We sound weird. He didn't say We think we have investigated something seriously. I understand. It makes sense. He is his own idea The two officials had a big argument. They also started to expose each other's shortcomings. Is there anyone who can tell? Speaks with great clarity There is one thing I can't say I am anxious and occasionally say a few words That's obviously a disadvantage. After Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it Don't ask anymore Let him handle the matter that can be said. No other reason The student went back to examine it. Well, it turns out that what you say cannot be said is true. The one who can say The official didn't care. It's not that simple. He wants to set such a role model Do you think you are eloquent? Do you have the upper hand? I just like it That kind of honest person I won't let you get the upper hand. He has a purpose He must create such an atmosphere And such a concept Because only this idea He created these In this kind of atmosphere, these people listen to him. To be able to serve as an official in his court Doesn't that mean his regime is stable? If everyone is human No one listens to each other. How can he be the emperor? How can he manage it? So everything Zhu Yuanzhang did He has his own purpose. Zhu Yuanzhang That's how he is We said He governs the country as if it were his own home He promoted filial piety Propaganda of family affection Advocate a peaceful relationship with each other Don't get into trouble To be stable How can it be stable? Zhu Yuanzhang said We must start from home We have talked about this before You have to take care of the house. You can manage the country. The rich aroma of Jiugui Liquor reminds you to continue your excitement Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, experienced many ups and downs in his life In his later years, he sent off many young people. Then in the confusion of his life What is he thinking about? What are you doing? Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: Storm in Zhongshan Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the country according to the Confucian doctrine of monarch, minister, father and son In addition to using negative examples to warn the world He hopes to establish a loving father and filial son. A model family with friendly brothers and respectful brothers Thus, the first Jiangnan restaurant that lasted for hundreds of years The Zheng family in Pujiang, Zhejiang Province has become a typical So what is the origin of the Yimen Zheng family? What kind of gratitude do they have with Zhu Yuanzhang? At that time Pujiang River in Jinhua, Zhejiang There was a family named Zheng This family is incredible Great reputation Why is it so famous? It's called the House of Filial Piety. How is their family profitable? What is different from others? What kind of place? There are some differences This family 300 years of inseparable family This degree Zhu Yuanzhang's power rose In this eastern Zhejiang area The war was already very intense at that time. Seeing the Zheng family in such a state of war I'm scared too. The whole family ran away The house is empty Li Wenzhong is here. I saw that the Zheng family was empty. Someone come and close the door for me Lock Send soldiers to guard the area. So good Such a famous official Yimen We can't let him be destroyed like this! Take a look This is passed down from generation to generation. After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country Of course, for a family as big as the Zheng family Rich family We said At that time, these wealthy families Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a Collecting taxes as a grain official If taxes don't come up He has strength He can pay the tax. So the Zheng family He was chosen as the chief minister. At this time, the head of the Zheng family was called Zheng Lian When Zhu Yuanzhang met with Liang Chang In Beijing I met Zheng Lian Zhu Yuanzhang took a look This is the famous Zhedong No.1 This is the most famous wealthy family What happened after Zhu Yuanzhang met him? I asked him a question Ah, what's the problem? How did you treat your family so well? Right? This is what everyone wants to ask. Because we haven't seen it Hundreds of years A big family that doesn't break up And in harmony Always coming here These hundreds of years Zhu Yuanzhang also had this question mark. He asked the government Talk about your way of managing the family Any tips? Tell me Zheng Lian said two words Very simple The first sentence is to abide by the ancestral teachings The second sentence is not to be repeated Look, this is recorded in the history books. One is to follow the teachings of our ancestors. Second, don’t listen to your wife gossiping. These two are the foundation of the Zheng family's governance After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Well said. I have the same idea as Zhu Yuanzhang. Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang say Even Queen Ma, you only care about the affairs of the palace. Things outside the palace Don't worry about anything. He also specifically said these words So it's exactly what he wants. I was happy at that time Someone come soon Say give this Zhenglian some fruit Let him take it back. I gave him a lot of fruit because he worked hard. The government took the fruit back. After taking it back His family is too big. He wants everyone to have a taste. The blessing of this fruit bestowed by the Emperor It's not easy He asked people to cut the fruit into small pieces According to the number of people Each person could eat one The news came back again. Oh my god, on the table Look at this family. No wonder people They govern well. People are indeed fair There are methods and rules Happy Zhenglian This family was in the early Ming Dynasty Also received praise from Zhu Yuanzhang But think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang's reign There is a very important content in his politics It is a blow to Fu Fu Right, we talked about this before. To these wealthy ambassadors He is not at ease I am afraid that they will collude with some people in the court. Or form a local power Then exactly Did Zhu Yuanzhang also want to kill him? Even if you, Zhu Yuanzhang, don't want to kill him The people below think You, Zhu Yuanzhang, should do this. He will find something will find a reason to get rid of the Zheng family It really didn't take long This Zheng Lian Hu Weiyong case Hu Weiyong's party came out You are so rich You are very familiar with these officials above. Then your family is related to the Hu Weiyong case. Then we'll arrest people. But when we want to arrest the Zheng family members Wait for this Zheng family These six main brothers of the main family Arguing that this crime should be taken on my head I'll take responsibility. That person said I should take responsibility for this. Six brothers fighting over Finally, one of the brothers won. Came to the capital to atone for the crime Finally arrived in Beijing Met his big brother Zheng Lian Zheng Lian asked what you are doing here I am the eldest brother I am the butler, this crime is mine. Everyone's arguing but there's still no result. Zhu Yuanzhang heard about it Oh, how can this thing be a sin? Look at this family. Such a good relationship between each other Compete to take the blame Zhu Yuanzhang said that someone was so willing to do evil. also Look at this kind of person in someone's family. They're so kind. Such a good relationship between each other Why would he follow others in rebellion? This is impossible. good Exoneration Alas, we have escaped another disaster. What does the history book say? He said Deputy Shi Duo is the most relaxed And it is precisely after reading thousands of papers What's the meaning At that time Those wealthy ambassadors Because of the light crime The whole family was wiped out. The royal family is gone. But look at the Zheng family Thousands of instructions Thousands of this family My dear, keep it well. Right? What is the reason? The reason couldn't be simpler. Because he is a benefit family This benefit We just talked about Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to promote these things. He went to the people to find such a case Still need to make a big article? Now, there is such a sample in front of you. Since the Song Dynasty From the Yuan Dynasty to your Ming Dynasty They are all from the benefit family You don't promote him well. Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed this Of course, good publicity So even if this family is in trouble He has to find a way to exempt him. This is the Zheng family As a deputy envoy family in the early Ming Dynasty The only reason to save Zhu Yuanzhang's own tomb Now in Nanjing Zhongshan What's the mausoleum called? Xiaoling Mausoleum Look at this filial piety How important is it in Zhu Yuanzhang's own mind? Because everyone knows that there is a How to say it His personality Few people are filial and respectful but also like to offend their superiors. Those who do not like to offend their superiors but like to cause chaos Not beneficial filial piety This was the basis of the moral concept of the ruling class at that time. You just need to be filial You won't do bad things. So a filial home like this It became the most important thing in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. Let the people of the whole country learn A model for families to learn This Zheng family The reason why he can be passed down from generation to generation is that In fact, he has another magic weapon. When Zhu Yuanzhang asked him at the beginning He said he strictly abided by the ancestral teachings Then don't listen to the reply How can we strictly abide by our ancestors' teachings? Where is the ancestral teaching? There is a domestic criminal in their house There is a house rule Continuous revisions over the generations Continuous revision In the end, there were 168 articles in the book. These 168 rules are to be followed by everyone in the family Who can't violate Zhu Yuanzhang heard This thing is so important. Look at him for 300 years. This family relies on these house rules He can last this long. Long-lasting prosperity Then I want to govern the country I want my country Pass it on to my descendants I also need to have a house rules What is this called? It's called Zuxun. People strictly abide by their ancestors' teachings Then I want to write a book of ancestral teachings So Zhu Yuanzhang put his own ideas into practice. What should future generations follow? Start writing a book of ancestral teachings Writing and writing broken There is another important thing I forgot. Not written What's the big deal?
