Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang, I believe that many people are very familiar with him, he is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China, and he is also a very controversial figure. We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang grew up poor, his family was a slave for generations, he also gave the landlord cattle when he was a child, and later after experiencing many setbacks, he decided to revolt and overthrow the rule of the dynasty, because he won the trust of the generals in the army, and finally he successfully carried out a life counterattack and became the emperor.
After becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to be regarded as illiterate by others, so he studied the scriptures all day long, and his learning gradually grew. After having a little goods in his belly, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the literati and inkers always wrote poems on pairs, and he also wanted to be attached to the elegance, so he could not move to make a couplet and write a poem, which was also considered to be self-amusement.
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once after reading the thinker Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", decided that this was a work that had transcended the world, so he produced a shanglian "Laozi Tianzi First", asking all the ministers present to go to the lower link, Liu Bowen said that he could not match it with a little deep groaning, and then explained that it was because Zhu Yuanzhang's shanglian was really too good to be right, and it was not ordinary people who could do it.
Such a semantic pun on the upper link has frightened the ministers not lightly, what does the emperor who made the upper link mean this time? We all know that Lao Tzu refers to Li Er, the originator of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period, but from Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, "Lao Tzu" may be the emperor's self-designation? In this regard, no one dared to pack a ticket to identify a statement, once it was a mistake, it would be a big thing that would lose his head, and the ministers who could survive around him for many years were all old fritters, and they directly said to the emperor: "This union is absolute for eternity, and the ministers can't really get out of the lower union when they rack their brains."
However, at this moment, there was a talented man who was able to do so, probably because he had just entered the official field, so he did not understand the rules, and then he said that the next link "Sun Tzu is unparalleled in the world", this is not looking for death, so his ending can be thought of by everyone.
In fact, from the colloquial point of view, he said such a thing, it is true that the emperor could not get off the stage, but if you analyze from the meaning of the couplet, the "Sun Tzu" here refers to the great military man, the founder of Sun Tzu's Art of War. One expression is wrong, one is misunderstood, but unfortunately, a talented man has not yet had time to repay the imperial court, and he lost his life just because he offended the person who should not be offended by one sentence. However, since you want to be an official in the imperial court, you should understand the rules of the officialdom, have no eyesight, do not do things through the brain, and the end is so sad.
