Why did Zhu Yuanzhang remove Mencius' memorial tablet from the Confucius Temple and cancel his qualification as an "Asian sage"?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who stepped up from the grassroots, was obviously not interested in literati, but people still believed in Confucius. After all, as long as he is the emperor, he needs Confucius' thoughts to brainwash people, and Confucianism has taken root in China. However, Confucius and Mencius thought differently. Relatively speaking, Mencius put forward more harsh opinions on the king, and the idea that "immigration is the most important" may be unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.

One day in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly flew into a rage when he was reading Mencius. Then, he ordered people to drive Mencius out of the Confucius Temple. He told the minister that whoever dares to stop me is a dead end. His ministers must all be Confucian scholars. As for Mencius, the "Asian student", he is respectful as a pit. I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to move Mencius' things out of the Confucius Temple. Where did he come from?

Later, because of the sudden thunder, another civil servant told Zhu Yuanzhang to look at the sky that night and found that the satellite was dim and the sky was different. The emperor is superstitious about destiny, and it is a big deal to offend God. Now Zhu Yuanzhang realized that he had moved Mencius' ranking away from the Confucius Temple, which scared some people to move back. But I still cut Mencius' works to only one third, which is much more cruel than what I just did.

To say why Zhu Yuanzhang respected Confucius but was so cruel to Mencius, it can only be said that Mencius' "people-oriented" thought made Zhu Yuanzhang a thorn in his back. A person who gains state power through an independent army is too dangerous for those refugees who have an emperor. This means that his throne is unorthodox, which is not available.
