Four dishes and one soup, very standard.

Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in a commoner, is determined to carry out rectification from top to bottom. The queen offered a plan to use her birthday to cook a meal of coarse vegetables and light rice, and to entertain civil and military officials to be an example.

On the eighth day of August in the third year of Hongwu, on the queen's birthday, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to serve the dishes, the first dish was a big bowl of fried radish, the second dish was fried leeks, the third and fourth dishes were two bowls of green vegetables, and finally a big bowl of green onion tofu soup.

The dishes are all ready, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to these dishes and said to himself.

"This radish is a good thing, it is known as a hundred flavor medicine. There has always been a saying among the people that "radishes are on the market, but pharmacies are closed". It is enough to see that radish is a good dish. This dish is enough to make everyone healthy; Eating it can prevent you from getting sick! ”

"Leeks are also a good thing, they represent vigorous vitality and are evergreen all year round. Its meaning is good, symbolizing the long-term peace and stability of the country. I hope that after you have eaten this dish, you will be able to live and work in peace and contentment in the places under your jurisdiction for a long time. ”

"Two bowls of green vegetables are as fragrant, and two bowls of green vegetables symbolize the integrity of the official and the clean breeze on both sleeves. With the money of the court, you must do more things for the people, and you must be as innocent as these two bowls of green vegetables. ”

"Shallot tofu is green and white, fair and honest like the sun and the moon. Yin is Yin, Mao is Mao, and I will not change the color of the country. ”

When the ministers heard this, they suddenly realized. The intention of this is obvious, that is, those who are officials should be honest and honest, should not be corrupt, and should think more about the lives of the people.

Although the ministers don't like to eat these lowly dishes, they have to eat them tastefully in front of the emperor.

After the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang announced in public, "Starting from me, in the future, no matter who you entertain, you can only have four dishes and one soup at most, and today's queen's birthday banquet is an example, no one is allowed to violate it, otherwise it will be severely punished."

Since then, the rule of four dishes and one soup has been passed down to the people. Later, someone compiled the story of four dishes and one soup into four ballads and sang: the emperor treated four dishes and one soup, and the radish and leeks were stable for a long time. Shallot tofu is green and white, and the people of Taizu are liked.

Last year, it was the time of the great heroes, Lao Zhu also fulfilled the promise of common wealth, full of warm thoughts and lust, these people degenerate faster than Lao Zhu imagined, and the extravagance and waste of extravagance are becoming more and more serious.

Lao Zhu was born in a poor family, and he paid attention to his honest duty and was diligent and thrifty, so he naturally couldn't get used to these, so he first warned him with four dishes and one soup.

At the beginning, the effect was good, and the officialdom atmosphere was suppressed, but gradually I couldn't stand it, and I responded to the sentence: It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below. On the surface, it is the standard of four dishes and one soup, but there are more tricks in the secret, and there are not a few people who dare to commit crimes against the wind.

If you don't listen to the warning, then it's no wonder that Lao Zhu made a move, and found out a group of people to kill chickens and make an example.

Zheng Xiong looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of him thoughtfully, his mood is different, and the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different.

I've been hungry all morning, and Zheng Xiong is not a very picky person, but he is tired of eating food now, and the combination of oil and monosodium glutamate makes Zheng Xiong miss it even more.

When I returned to the pharmacy and signed it, it seemed that there was nothing to do, and the three errands under my hand communicated the progress a little to talk to myself, so there was nothing to worry about.

In the past few days, everything has not gone smoothly as if he has gone to the extreme, he has drilled the tip of the horns, and he will definitely die if he does not die, and now it is only four years of Hongwu, and the old Zhu Chunqiu is prosperous, high-spirited, and when he is just dictatorial.

carefully combed through his memory, the two major cases of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu.

Hu Weiyong died by himself, and after Liu Bowen's death, he completely floated, monopolized power, formed a party for personal gain, and as the representative of Huaixi Xungui in the court, he was naturally feared by Lao Zhu.

In the twelfth year of Hongwu, he was arrested for the crime of rebellion, and he was given death in the second year, until the twenty-first year of Hongwu, the entire chaotic party was not cleaned up, and rebellion was only one of the reasons.

And the reason for the rebellion case is really easy to use, and if you want to clean up who is directly implicated in Hu Weiyong, you don't need to explain, and you can clean up a lot of things that you can't get used to.

Except that at the beginning, he was indeed close to Hu Weiyong, and there was indeed a reason for the rebellion, and then until the twenty-first year of Hongwu was implicated, most of them had nothing to do with the rebellion, and it was just an excuse given by Lao Zhu to kill people.

The subsequent Lan Yu case is also what Lan Yu should do.

Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yuchun is the father-in-law of the crown prince Zhu Biao, so as the uncle of the crown princess, Lan Yu tries his best to maintain the prince's status as the prince.

Chang was named the crown princess in April of the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), gave birth to a son Zhu Xiongying in October of the seventh year of Hongwu (1374), and gave birth to a second son Zhu Yunxi in November of the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378), and died in the same month at the age of 24. Ming Taizu gave Jingyi the crown princess and two other daughters.

Zhu Xiongying, the sister-in-law born to the crown princess Chang, died at the age of eight.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao died of an unexpected illness, and Lan Yu, as the team left by Lao Zhu to Zhu Biao, was a little embarrassed.

The eldest son Zhu Xiongying died early, but Zhu Yunwen won the favor of Lao Zhu and became the successor of the next generation.

Of course, there are also Lao Zhu's own considerations, Zhu Yunxi represents the foreign relatives group, and the intertwined marriage of the Xungui group makes Lao Zhu have to guard against it, and in order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in power, Zhu Yunxi who has a civil official group behind him was selected.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yunwen seems to have become the only orthodox in the history books, because the pen is in the hands of the reader.

The relationship between the two parties is a little awkward, Lan Yu is a princeling, but it is not necessarily a grandson party, his niece's child can still be considered, Zhu Yunwen forget it.

So in order to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen, Hongwu raised the butcher's knife again in the twenty-sixth year.

The two cleanings are actually empathetic, and you can understand Lao Zhu's complicated feelings.

It's only been four years since Hongwu was now, and he is still far away from Zheng Xiong, so he really thinks a little too much.

You can master the balance between death and promotion, just don't take the lead. It is too easy for you to be promoted, as long as you want to do things and live your life in vain, there is no shortage of credit.

At present, the top priority is to solve the problem of the early dynasty first, but I am too tired to support my small body.

I didn't see Fu Yin above the main hall today, and every time I went to the palace, I could see it, but I could learn from it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiong didn't delay, just one afternoon, he had to hurry, otherwise the day would pass again.

Called the second dog and went to the mansion, Zheng Yiyan saw Zheng Xiong coming, and snorted heavily, obviously knowing about Zheng Xiong's small report.

"What are you doing here, my little Ying Tianfu can't hold your big Buddha."

Seeing that Fu Yin was unhappy, Zheng Xiong hurriedly explained.

"Lord Fu Yin laughed, Huimin Pharmacy has always been a subordinate institution of Ying Tianfu, and adults can speak if they have something. Today is the first time that the lower officials have made an early pilgrimage, and I didn't prepare, so I forgot to bring the recital, so I had to mention such a thing, and I hope your forgiveness. ”

gave a reason, Fu Yin borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, his face was a little better, Zheng Xiong has done a lot of things under his rule, and he also has a credit, and he has given himself a lot of face, and there is no need for the relationship to be stiff.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
