In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu of the Northern Expedition of King Yan swept the north.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang suffered from illness and lethargy in his later years. He came to power and led a group of treacherous ministers such as Han Jinhu and Xu to take the lead. They took Hu and Lan as examples, expelled sages and killed heroes indiscriminately. The prince wrote a letter to dissuade him, and Ma and Han hated him to the core. They named him King of Yan and sent him to Pingbei. But his troops were weak and he faced many difficulties, so he actually drove King Yan out of the capital and set traps to harm him. King Yan was forced to sweep across the north. Although he went through many hardships, he eventually achieved great success. He carried the flag back to the capital, cleared the monarch's cousin's side, got rid of the traitorous ministers, ascended to the throne, and finally achieved great success.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang made some efforts to develop the social economy and consolidate centralization of power. However, like previous emperors, in order to preserve the eternal foundation of future generations, he became increasingly suspicious of those who had fought alongside him and fought against him. Ancestors who fought in various battles and made hard-earned contributions to the establishment of the Ming Empire. In the name of rebellion by Zuo Prime Minister Hu Helan Yu, Liang Guogong, and Zhu Yuanzhang, many heroes were involved in the conspiracy. The famous Zhongshan King Xu Baoliangda was not immune. Marshal Xu had back gangrene, and it was said that he was most taboo about eating steamed goose meat. Emperor Hongwu gave him steamed goose meat when he was seriously ill. The emperor's gift is a royal gift, which is a cup of poisoned wine that takes a long time to drink. Marshal Xu knew that the emperor was committing suicide, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. After thanking the emperor for his kindness, he ate the steamed goose with tears in front of the envoy. A few days later, King Zhongshan died. The heroes were all heartbroken. Some quit their jobs and retreated to the mountains and forests. Some hung seals and gold and left without saying goodbye. Only a few of them were left in the morning. These people are too timid to say a word.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was slaughtering the heroes, he entrusted important tasks to those sycophants. My uncles Ma Lan, Han Xu Jinhu and others. Taking advantage of their relationship with Queen Ma, they also took advantage of this. They win over Xiao Xiao and become close friends. Du Sai does what he says, monopolizes the government's agenda, is arrogant and domineering, and acts recklessly, which only puts the newly established Ming Dynasty in danger and full of shortcomings.

To suppress others for the time being, let’s talk directly to the Fourth Highness Zhu Di. He is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. He is not an official of Queen Ma Zhaoyang, but a concubine of the turtle in the urn. Zhu Yuanzhang had twenty-four sons, namely Zhu Biao, Zhu Shang, Zhu, etc. Among his sons, Zhu Di was the best. First of all, the appearance of the people is neither tall nor short. Zhang Song Wenyu is fat, has colorful eyebrows, eyes full of Matthew stars, full forehead, and a wide four-character mouth. He is really majestic and handsome. When it comes to character, it means loyalty, honesty, humility, qualifications, and order. He has literary talent and martial arts skills. In terms of ambition, he once wrote to the emperor, expressing his desire to abolish bad government. In particular, he once tactfully dissuaded Emperor Wu of Liang from killing the hero. Therefore, loyal civil and military officials, even concubines and eunuchs, did not dislike him or respect him. When canonizing the crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Zhu Biao was weak and could be bullied, so he deliberately appointed Zhu Di as the crown prince, thinking that he could inherit his great cause.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal was firmly resisted by the traitors from North Korea and Malaysia headed by Empress Ma. Queen Ma believed that Zhu Di was not born by her. Can he be a smart person with himself? When he becomes emperor in the future, his mother will be more expensive, and the urn empress will be on his head. Will she ever have her own? Nothing can be done. She worked very hard, so Han Jinhu, the handsome wife of Beijing Yingtang, Ma Lan, my uncle, etc., unanimously made suggestions to the emperor. Their reason is: abolishing the old and promoting the young is the way to eliminate chaos. Look at history. If there is no good result, no matter how smart your highness is, you can do it

Who said that, why are you sweeping the north? Wasn't there peace before the Yuan Dynasty? Yes, it was destroyed, but after the death of Emperor Yuan Shun, the prince fell in love with Zhidala, and under the protection of Kukuo Timur, he fled to Horinger, where he continued to proclaim himself emperor. General Sibao escaped from Jinlong and came to Helin. He still maintained considerable strength and invaded the Central Plains from time to time, becoming the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Although on the surface the Ming Dynasty unified the country, in fact the above problems still existed.

It may seem reasonable to call Queen Ma a prince sweeping across the north, but this is not the case. This was a vicious plan by Queen Ma to frame King Yan and execute him.

Not to mention the frequent side troubles, let's take the person assigned to King Yan as an example. It doesn't look the same. The number of people is nominally 3,000. In fact, the old ones are old, the young ones are small, and the old ones don’t need to get on the horse. The small one can pull the bow of the precious eagle, but all of them are sallow and thin, the Asian athletes are terminally ill, their armor is incomplete, their equipment is short of equipment, their clothes are incomplete, and they have no fighting ability at all. It is simply a flower team. Slowly sweeping north, I'm afraid we'll all drop down as soon as you hear the beat of the drum.

Zhu Di originally planned to go to the palace to say goodbye to his father and the concubine's mother, but he was refused by Huangmenguan three times in a row, saying that the queen had a purpose and the vassal king was going to leave immediately. He was not allowed to stay or stay. Enter the palace. He kowtowed outside the palace gate and returned home in tears, thinking to himself: It must be Yu Xu's ghost, but the imperial edict has been issued, how can he not resist it! Ahem! Let me either go or leave you, and we will settle the score later!

Famous storyteller - Shan Tianfang

Born in a folk art family, his grandfather Wang was the earliest old bamboo slip artist in Shenyang. Mother Wang was a famous Xihe drum performer in the 1930s and 1940s, known as "Baishantou". His father Shan Yongkui is a string teacher; his uncle Shan Yongsheng and his third uncle Shan Yonghuai are Xihe drummers and storyteller respectively. He went to private school at the age of six and learned some traditional books at the age of seven or eight. After school, he helped his parents copy passages and lyrics while reading. He benefited a lot from his rich social, historical, geographical and life knowledge, the combination of books and songs, and his acting skills. When I was thirteen years old, I could already memorize several long books.

After graduating from high school in 1953, Shan Tianfang received university admission notices from Northeastern Institute of Technology and Shenyang Medical College. He dropped out of school to become an artist because of his passion for storytelling. Later, he studied under Li Qinghai and became an official storyteller. During this period, he studied in the History Department of Liaoning University. In 1956, he became the only storyteller in Liaoning Province with a college diploma, which was also rare in the country. In 1955, he joined the Anshan Folk Art Troupe and studied under the famous Xihe drummer Zhao Yufeng and the famous storyteller Yang Tianrong. His artistic level has greatly improved. Officially debuted at the age of 24. In the 1960s, he became famous in Anshan. During 1955-1956, he sang more than ten traditional ballads, such as Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties and Ming Dynasty, Forest Sea and Snow Field, Gunshots on the Plain and A Bronze Button. Although he had bad luck during the ten years of turmoil, he still persisted in practicing, memorizing words silently, and writing a new chapter.

On May 1, 1979, Shan Tianfang returned to the book circle. The first ballad "New Heroines" was broadcast on Anshan Radio Station. After that, he cooperated with him for more than ten years and recorded and broadcast thirty-nine storytelling poems. Mainly include Red Safe, Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Heroes of Wagang, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, etc. It is popular on dozens of radio stations across the country. Among them, "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" was broadcast on the Central People's Broadcasting Station, with an audience of 600 million.

Since 1981, he has published nearly forty storytellers and is the best storyteller in China. Marshal Chunqiu selected the Seven Outstanding Heroes from the book. In 2000, Dazhong Publishing House published Shan Tianfang's complete story telling. He is also listed as one of mainland China's martial arts novel writers in recent years. The folk songs Tianjing Blood Tears and Ming Ying Lie were also made into TV series.

In addition, he has also recorded many TV storytelling programs such as 0755-790

Shan Tianfang believes that storytelling should be both plain and explosive. Explosions, also called waves, can act as peaks. Vividness, accuracy and imagery are the biggest characteristics of his storytelling. His storytelling is sophisticated, vigorous and natural; his language is vivid, rich and interesting; his writing is logical and grammatically correct; when he speaks, he is knowledgeable, poetic, gorgeous and elegant; to put it bluntly, the customs and proverbs of various places are cordial and vivid. In short, he can use vivid, refined, accurate and expressive language to create characters, heighten the anger of the environment, and greatly mobilize the audience's imagination. Therefore, it not only has a certain influence at home, but also has a certain influence among overseas Chinese, which has won him the reputation of a single country. He was meticulous about storytelling. When cataloging China's top ten traditional storytelling classics, dozens of materials including the History of Chinese Martial Arts Novels, White Eyebrowed Heroes, Hong Biyuan, Eternal Hero Zhang Xueliang, and Seven Heroes Xiao Wuyi were consulted.
