It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang has 72 hemp seeds on his face. Is it true?/You don't say.

Because we can't travel back in time, even if you ask me like this, I can't tell you whether he is really ugly, because I have never seen him, and scientific research can probably know that this is a rumor, but I don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang looks like, so I can't solve this problem.

However, from other places, we can talk about this problem, because history is a little girl who dresses up for everyone, and the dynasty behind the Ming Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty needed to discredit the Ming Dynasty in exchange for its orthodox status, discredit Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, and then discredit the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Then the middle emperors all said that they were only greedy for personal enjoyment, regardless of the country's idiots, so that the status of the Qing Dynasty would be stable.

Then, there is a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, which is really ugly, but there are many portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang found in history. Why is only the particularly ugly one known to the public? Why does everyone not accept other normal ones? Because everyone thinks Zhu Yuanzhang should be ugly, even if there is only one ugly.

Then everyone thinks that this ugly one is really Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, and the others are beautified by Zhu Yuanzhang's arrogance, because people are willing to believe that Zhu Yuanzhang's face is covered with pockmarks, and they don't believe that a rural person is normal and has such strong ability.

Just as people can't accept a bandit's name as Zhang, people would rather believe that his name is Zhang Mazi, as Zhang said in Let Bullets Fly.

So everyone is willing to believe that Zhu Yuanzhang, a poor monk and beggar, is extremely ugly, with 72 ugly pockmarked people. Which one do you want to believe is true?
