Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, loved couplets before he ascended the throne. Why? Couplets? Nickname.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to raise something at that time. On a snowy road, he met his good friend Gunn and made a joint statement. It's freezing, and there's nothing in the water that doesn't freeze? . Gunn pondered for a while, and then made a cross-examination of couplets. If the country is in chaos and the people are worried, who will decide if the king does not come out? . Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly happy after hearing this.

After Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to win the Yuan Army in Qing Ji, he slept in the post station and saw a 7-year-old child living there, serving his father. He asked the boy, Can you answer the sentence? ? The boy replied:? Yes ? Zhu Yuanzhang went out to make a couplet:? Seven-year-olds as horses? The child looked Zhu Yuanzhang up and down and thought, this person is extraordinary and unrestrained? Emperor wannian sat in the dragon court? Relative. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and ordered him to be exempted from labor.

When Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to attack Gusu City. In order to boost morale, the bottom couplet was created by the method of character separation: The mouth of the world, the mouth of the sky, is determined to swallow Wu? . Strategist Liu Bowen immediately made the first couplet in the same way:? King of the people, king of the people, meaning full? . What do you mean, yours? Swallow Wu? Intention, I will definitely take it as the most important task to complete. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed: Strategists know me. ?

After Zhu Yuanzhang made Nanjing his capital, he sent a decree saying: No matter whether it is a hundred officials, civil servants or ordinary people, Spring Festival couplets should be posted. One day, he went to the street incognito and suddenly saw that there was no Spring Festival couplets posted at the door of a family, so he went forward to ask. It turns out that this family is engaged in castrating pigs, and no one in the family can write. At present, they haven't invited a scholar to write it, and they are worrying about it. After finding out the reason, Zhu Yuanzhang volunteered and said, I'll write one for you! ? According to the professional characteristics of the head of the family, he spread out his thesis: split the road of life and death with both hands and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife? . When Zhu Yuanzhang returned from his inspection, he found that his Spring Festival couplets had not been posted on the door at home, and he couldn't help but be furious. The householder even appealed that only after the emperor left did we know that this was a rare royal gift for Mo Bao. Hanging in nave all the time, burning incense and offering sacrifices! ? Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his anger into joy and ordered his followers to give the master thirty taels of silver to show his loyalty.

One day, Zhu Yuanzhang took his fourth son Judy and grandson Zhu Jun to watch a horse race. When he sees the galloping horse and the wind blowing from the horseshoe, he occasionally forms an alliance: the wind blows a ponytail for a thousand miles? , and let a son and a grandson out of the bottom allied respectively. Zhu Jun defeated the right way:? Rain beat wool into blankets? . After hearing this, Mao thought the dialogue was too weak, without momentum and displeasure. Let the son be right again, Judy is right: Rizhao Longlin Wandianjin? . Mao was very happy and nodded in praise.

One day, Zhu Yuanzhang made a private visit incognito, and met a farmer selling lotus roots on the way. He was moved by this scene and said five words: A bent west arm? It also allows farmers to reach the bottom line. The farmer looked at the lotus root hole and answered the bottom line: seven things are better than dry heart? . The farmer was quick and agile, which Zhu Yuanzhang had expected. He's very happy. Is that what he named it? Drink offering? (official name).

One day, Zhu Yuanzhang came to a teahouse incognito and chatted with a scholar who was drinking tea. He learned that the scholar's ancestral home was in Chongqing, so he went out with the place name: A thousand miles is heavy, and there is no way to recover from heavy water. . Scholars know that this is an embedded place name. Then he took the next couplet:? One person is a big country, and a big country is a king. ? Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated it very much after listening.

On another occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang came to a small town hotel to drink incognito. He saw that the shop was small and there were no delicious appetizers. Use the next couplet:? Three drinks and five drinks in the pub, nothing? . The shopkeeper casually made a pair of couplets: Daming is a unified country, regardless of north and south. ? Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and wanted to give him an official position, which was politely declined by the shopkeeper.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Prime Minister Liu Bowen were in high spirits when they played chess. I want to form an alliance. Heaven is a chessboard star, and the sun and the moon win glory?
