People often use the words "wanton slaughter" to describe Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of heroes. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang killed heroes for a reason. For example, Li Shanchang was killed to abolish the prime minister system; Xu Da was killed because of the relationship between Xu Da and Judy and his great influence on Huaixi and the army, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel threatened to some extent.

Based on the political stability and the stability of the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang killed many founding heroes who laid the foundation with him in order to prevent the hero's power from being too great and threatening his dominant position.
