Why did Zhu Yuanzhang take special care of people in Tianbaoshan?

There are many legends about Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. One of them is about "sitting in the dragon chair". It is said that only Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting in the dragon chair, and others will have different degrees of trouble.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, his family was poor, and his parents and eldest brother both died of plague and locust plague. His sister took him begging along the way and came to Tianbaoshan. Legend has it that there is a naturally formed big stone in the shape of a chair on Tianbao Mountain. Next to the dragon chair is a stone in the shape of an official hat, followed by a toffee stone, and hawthorn trees are everywhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sister later married Li Zhen of the Li family, and Li Zhen was kind-hearted. Although the conditions were not good, she took Zhu Yuanzhang in for him to go to school. But sometimes the conditions were so bad that Zhu Yuanzhang went to school intermittently. Zhu Yuanzhang is very clever. In order to earn tuition, he also herded cattle for a landlord. Because Zhu Yuanzhang is from other places, the local cowherd is not very good to Zhu Yuanzhang, and sometimes they unite to bully Zhu Yuanzhang and call themselves Shandong heroes.

On one occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang took everyone into the mountains to herd cattle, but it snowed heavily that day, and they and the cattle were trapped in the mountains for several days and nights. Hungry and cold, Zhu Yuanzhang suggested to everyone: "Why don't we pick the hawthorn from the tree and eat it, or everyone will freeze to death." Knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were very reasonable, the partners picked hawthorn to satisfy their hunger. After eating, I will join everyone and wait for the adults to come to them.

While waiting for someone, Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly, "If you call yourself heroes in Shandong, don't always bully me. Heroes want to do great things and be emperors. " After that, he looked around and found this stone that looked like a chair. He said to everyone, "This is the Dragon Chair. We take turns sitting on it and being emperors. What do you think? "

Little friends are interested. As soon as they hear that they want to be emperors, they gather together. One sits on it, and the others crawl under it, just like playing house. However, it is strange that other people will have an accident when sitting on the stone, some will hurt, and some will have nosebleeds. In short, sitting on that stone will make them fidget. When it was Zhu Yuanzhang's turn, nothing strange happened. He sat firmly, with a faint imperial prestige. From then on, his friends were convinced of Zhu Yuanzhang and stopped bullying him.

When the snow melted, the children's families found them and took them home. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang really became emperor. He hasn't forgotten his childhood promise. He deliberately sent people to Tianbaoshan to find those friends to be officials in Beijing and entertain himself, but no one dared to go. Zhu Yuanzhang was disappointed when he saw that the messenger didn't bring people back. He said, "There are heroes in Shandong, but they are not wise."

Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has issued a letter saying that as long as people who have sat in the Shilong chair with him come to Nanjing, no matter who you are, they will do it for you. Tianbaoshan people who don't want to be officials can also enjoy special treatment when they come to Nanjing, and the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes near Tianbaoshan are reduced.

In this way, the legend of Tianbaoshan Dragon Chair has been passed down from generation to generation. Up to now, there is still a saying that students can be admitted to universities and officials can be promoted by sitting in dragon chairs.

There were many cruel emperors in ancient China. Today, I will tell you about Fu Sheng, the one-eyed emperor of the former Qin Dynasty. Speaking of the pre-Qin regime, people may think that Fu Jian was the emperor, while Fu Jian's predecessor was the emperor. Because I don't like Fu Jian, I want to kill the Fu Jian brothers, but I don't want to be pushed down by Fu Jian.

Fu Sheng was blind in one eye when he was a child, and because of his bad personality, Grandpa Fu Hong disliked him very much. Once Fu Hong jokingly asked the waiter, "I heard that the blind man cried in one eye. Is it true? " The waiter answered yes.

At that time, Fu Sheng aside, immediately became angry. He drew his sword and stabbed himself. The blood flowed down instantly, and he said with a straight face, "Isn't this a tear?"

Fu Hong was angry and pulled out a whip to beat Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of stabbing. Can't I stand whipping?" Fu Yuehong was furious and scolded, "If you don't change your mind, I will abolish you as a slave." Yan Sheng smiled and said, "Is it like Schleswig?"

Fu Hong was frightened and said to Fu Sheng's father, Fu Jian, "This child is cruel by nature. We should get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely harm his family in the future. "

Seeing this story, in fact, the first thing that comes to mind is the problem of "chicken and egg". After all, Fu Sheng was cruel by nature, so Fu Hong wanted to kill him. Or did Fu Hong and Fu Jian hate this mutilated offspring, and their hatred made Fu Sheng cruel?

Fu Jian was also afraid of his son and was going to kill him. However, Fu Jian's younger brother, Fu Xiong, stopped him and said, "Children will learn well when they grow up. Why did you come to this step? " Because of Fu Xiong's words, Fu Sheng survived and inherited the throne.

Many people want to know how Fu Sheng succeeded to the throne because he was hated by his grandfather and father or a disabled person. Prince Fu Jian died unexpectedly. There is a proverb "Three sheep have five eyes". Three eyes should have six eyes, but one eye is missing. Isn't it the same as Fu Sheng? Because of this proverb, Fu Sheng was made a prince, and Fu Jian succeeded him after his death.

As soon as Fu Sheng came to power, he showed a cruel and bloodthirsty side. Fu Jian died on the same day, he was born and succeeded to the throne, and later changed to Yuan. Duan Chun, the right assistant minister, led the ministers to remonstrate, thinking that it was inappropriate to change the yuan after the death of the first emperor, and demanded to refuse. Fu Sheng flew into a rage, reprimanded his ministers, and then ordered the immediate execution of Duan Chun.

The former Qin general was forced to die in the battle with the Jin army. It is customary to reward future generations. However, after Fu Sheng reached the summit, he never mentioned this matter again. Fan Shi, a strong pregnant wife, thought that the new emperor had forgotten, so he personally came to seal it for his son. Fu Sheng said, "It's up to me to decide whether to award or not. Only you can ask for it." Say that finish bow and arrow, an arrow into Fan Shi's neck, Fan Shi died on the spot.

He not only killed * * *, but also showed no mercy to his wife. On one occasion, the official in charge of the secretariat and the supervisor in charge of the secretariat said, "Look at the recent astrology, there will be a great funeral in three years, and courtiers will be slaughtered. Please get ready as soon as possible. "

Fu Sheng said: "The Queen and I are facing the world, which is enough to cope with the big loss." The secretariat minister and the secretariat supervisor thought Fu Sheng was joking, but the next day Fu Sheng entered the queen's palace with his sword. Before Queen Liang could speak, she was killed by Fu Sheng. Later, Fu Sheng ordered the arrest of Mao Gui, the teacher, Liang Leng, the general and Liang An, the left servant, and immediately beheaded them without interrogation.

What the astrology shows is actually Fu Sheng's disaster, but Fu Sheng thinks that killing the queen and the teacher, even if he has lost his life for three years, has nothing to do with himself from now on, so he does not hesitate to do such a thing that is worse than animals.

Seeing Fu Sheng's tyranny, his uncle spoke to persuade him. I didn't know that Fu Sheng lifted a hammer and smashed his uncle's head directly. Very bloody.

Fu Sheng later married a beautiful queen. When they were performing on the stage, the queen asked who was the passing official. There is an official named Jia, who is very beautiful and romantic. He was furious with jealousy and ordered Jia's head to be cut off. Fusheng put his head in the queen's hand and said, "Since you like it, I will give it to you." The queen was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

Another time I went out to play in the palace and met a man and a woman walking on the road. Both of them looked very handsome. He stopped to ask if they were husband and wife, and they replied that they were just brother and sister. Fu Sheng said, "I will give you husband and wife, and you can have sex on the spot." Brother and sister knelt down and refused. Fu Sheng drew his sword and killed the man.

On another occasion, the doctor prescribed medicine for him, and Fu Sheng thought there were too few ginseng. Doctor Tai said, "A little is enough." Fu Sheng thought that the doctor looked down on himself too much, so he ordered him to gouge out people's eyes.

Fu Sheng is not only a killer, but also a heavy drinker. A minister who entertains and doesn't drink, or a minister who doesn't get drunk and fall to the ground, will definitely be killed with one arrow. He drinks to have fun, and his favorite entertainment program is to call ministers and ladies-in-waiting to have fun below. The more out of line, the more he likes it. No one wants or can walk out of the hall.

So cruel, animals are worse than animals. And the cause and effect became worse. Later, he wanted to kill Fu Jian and didn't want to be preempted by Fu Jian. He took the power of the throne first, and then became the deposed emperor. ?

Since the time of Emperor Yan, there has been a story of seventy-two kings sealing Mount Tai. This ceremony is a ceremony to worship heaven, and it is a manifestation of the natural worship of the tribes or clans living around Mount Tai in ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Feng Taishan was regarded as the overlord of the world and was recognized by the Emperor of Heaven. At that time, everyone would be convinced, which was one of the means for the emperor to conquer people's hearts.

There are many governors who want to seal Mount Tai, but few people really have this ambition to do it. At that time, Qi Huangong, the first overlord of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, expressed his ambition to seal Mount Tai, but when he proposed to seal Mount Tai, Guan Zhong stopped him. Guan Zhong thinks that Xiang Rui's delay in coming shows that the Emperor of Heaven has not realized what Qi Huangong meant, and he has to wait. Ji Sun's Lu Zhi family also went to Mount Tai, but the result was greatly laughed at by Confucius, who was humiliated. Confucius said that he overreached himself.

In the eyes of scholars in various vassal States, Mount Tai is already the master of the world, and almost every king of Zhou will come to Mount Tai after he takes the upper position. After Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, there were many grievances. Only with the approval of the Emperor of Heaven can he make the people obey his rule from the heart. This is one of the reasons why Qin Shihuang was able to accept the ceremony of sealing Mount Tai.

Another reason is to start from the historical origin of Qin State, which is different from other vassal states. The ancestors of the State of Qin were made princes because of their escort and Wang Yougong. Other governors don't recognize it from the bottom of their hearts, don't accept this warlord who died halfway, and look down on Qin people. It can also be seen from the geographical location of Qin State that Qin State is located in the westernmost part of the Zhou Dynasty, and further west is the territory of barbarians. At that time, the international situation was that "the princes were not as good as Qin, and their looks were not good." Qin people also know that they are looked down upon by people from other countries, and everyone has a little inferiority in their hearts. This inferiority complex has been passed down from generation to generation in the kings of Qin, even Qin Shihuang was no exception.

Worship of Mount Tai is not only the political need of Qin Shihuang, but also the need for him to overcome the psychological obstacles of himself and his ancestors for hundreds of years! He wants to vent this cowardly spirit! Finally, Qin Shihuang accepted the worship of Mount Tai.

In the third year when the first emperor proclaimed himself emperor, he led the minister of civil and military affairs to seal Mount Tai in Dongyue. Before going to Mount Tai, Qin Shihuang and others went to Yishan and set up a monument on the mountain, which recorded the achievements established by Qin State over the years and showed that Qin State was absolutely capable of dominating the whole country. Later, the first emperor came to the foot of Mount Tai. He summoned more than 70 Confucian scholars from Qilu and asked them about the specific ceremony of worshipping Mount Tai. This group of Confucian scholars have different opinions, and they can't give a clear ceremony. Some people even said that "the wheels should be wrapped in cattails to avoid damaging every grass and tree on the mountain." Then sweep the floor for sacrifice, simple use. "

The first emperor was disappointed after hearing this, which had nothing to do with the domineering ceremony he wanted. It's so "humble"! Finally, the first emperor waved his hand and ordered people to drive away more than 70 Confucian scholars. He wants to personally plan the ceremony of sealing Mount Tai. The first emperor at this time was very confident, even to the point of conceit. It can be seen from his self-made meditation ceremony that from the sun on Mount Tai to the top of the mountain, the mountain and the road were directly built. The first emperor took the minister of civil and military affairs up the mountain to seal the ceremony, and after going down the mountain, he kept it a secret. No one knows how he ended his meditation, only that it happened.

The ceremony used is "all secret", which probably reflects Qin Shihuang's inferiority complex. He drove away the Confucian scholars, fearing that they would laugh at themselves when they knew the specific process of meditation, so they simply blocked all the news. Even so, the worship of Mount Tai by the first emperor was attacked by the majority of Confucian scholars. Later, the first emperor proclaimed himself emperor 12 years later and died, which opened the valve of public opinion and slandered him in various ways. At that time, everyone was suppressed for a long time before liberation. Naturally, how to hate the first emperor, how to attack the first emperor.
