Copywriter and producer: Yuan Zaiyu; Copywriter: Xu

There is a story in the street. On an ordinary day as usual, Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar, sat in court. His son Judy came from his fief to visit his father and reported some achievements he had made in the fief.

Maybe my father will praise me. Amid the praise of ministers, Judy has some expectations for her father.

I saw the majestic Zhu Yuanzhang quietly and expressionless. He got down from the dragon and picked up an orange from the dessert plate. Ministers and Judy were puzzled, wondering why Zhu Yuanzhang did it. As an emperor, he peeled the oranges there slowly and carefully regardless of other people's eyes.

Time seems to have stood still, ministers dare not say anything, Judy dare not take any action, and she can only kneel in court. The whole picture seems to be stagnant, and only Zhu Yuanzhang can peel small oranges slowly.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, and finally the orange was cleaned, its skin was peeled off, and even those meridians were all disposed of. Then, the orange was handed to Judy on her knees.

Judy was deeply moved: Is my father trying to reward me? ? He told this experience to his mother in the harem happily.

It's really a big deal that the child ran away. Your father peeled oranges for you just to tell you that he was going to peel you. Run, it's important to save your life. ? Judy, who was carried away by Zhu Yuanzhang's father's love, suddenly woke up and had doubts about this matter. He ran back to his fief Yanjing overnight and finally got his life back.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang was awakened by a nightmare the night before Judy went to show his achievements. He dreamed that a man forced him to surrender the throne. In his subconscious, this dream conveyed to him Judy's threat to the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born a beggar, was afraid that others would take away his country, so he killed his son.

This is just a story that storytellers use to tease children.

In this boring story, we see an emperor blinded by power, but we also see Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness towards children. The ancients said:? Tiger poison, but not children. ? As a father, Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to kill his own children, which shows that imperial power attracts the whole world.

In fact, in that historical period in the story, many stories did happen. Let's say the throne is inherited, because there is a tradition of the eldest son's inheritance in ancient times. Zhu Yuanzhang named his eldest son Zhu Biao as the prince, but Zhu Biao died young and did not live to succeed. Even more distressing for Zhu Yuanzhang, after Zhu Biao's death, the second prince Zhu Shang died of illness.

The pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man tormented the emperor who was born at the grassroots level but was high above him. Behind the majestic imperial power, who can understand the sadness of his son's death, but the Ming Dynasty needs an heir.

Their children are only incompetent Zhu and overbearing. Zhu's qualification is mediocre. How can he be entrusted with the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty? Judy, the fourth son, is armed to the teeth, and his ambition is well known. He was so overbearing when he was still in office, and he was obviously not the right person in his own eyes. And in the glorious Ming dynasty, can't you find a suitable next generation?

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang named Zhu Biao's concubine a crown princess, and made the son of the wing room the great-grandson of the emperor, so that the throne would not fall into the hands of disgruntled people. Finally, it is outrageous that although Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite grandson, became emperor, Judy still seized the throne.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang saw people's hearts thoroughly. He saw his son Judy's ambition and took preventive measures. However, his organs have failed, and he even had the idea of killing his son. Finally, the throne fell to the ambitious child.

Ruthless heaven, ruthless emperor.

In order to ensure the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about killing his own children. He is in a high position, but his white-haired man is not comforted. He must be prepared for other children to compete for the throne. Behind the throne, how many human joys have been annihilated.

Perhaps many people will despise Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness, but what I see is a lonely old man in a high position. His next generation, the next generation only cares about the struggle for the throne, and no one will ask, is he doing well?

Maybe God opens a window for you and really closes a door for you. Zhu Yuanzhang gained supreme power and jumped from a little beggar to an emperor, but what he lost was the family happiness that an ordinary old man should get.

Throughout the ages, I never know who is more important, love or power.
