Zhu Yuanzhang’s son beat up a chef, but Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him. The main reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to educate his son not to blame others for trivial things, but to be tolerant. Moreover, his son lost his temper because of such trivial matters. Zhu Yuanzhang saw his impatience even more, so he wanted him to correct his mistakes.
It was a small matter for Zhu Yuanzhang’s son to beat a cook, but it was a big deal for his son’s impetuous character. He beat the cook because the food was not to his taste. This kind of character and tolerance were too small, and he was completely unfit to be the son of a king. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his son was too far away from success, so he reprimanded him, hoping that he could see his mistakes and not get angry because of trivial matters. This is because I want to take this opportunity to educate my son.
Furthermore, the position of chef is small or big. Although the chef is only an insignificant role, if the chef wants to poison his son by poisoning the food, it would be easy. And it is impossible for his son to tell whether there is poison in the food. Wouldn't it be very tragic if he was killed by the chef quietly like this? But he wanted to poison his son just because of such a trivial matter of being beaten. This kind of intention is not impossible. After all, it is necessary to be on guard against others, so Zhu Yuanzhang angrily rebuked his son for offending others easily and getting into trouble easily.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious by nature and could easily doubt others, so he hoped that his son would also be more vigilant. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to take this opportunity to tell his son not to be too impatient when doing things, to calm down, and not to scare others casually, hoping to tell him to respect others. After all, even if he is a scary person, he is still a person who may harm himself.
In fact, no matter what the reason is, Zhu Yuanzhang hopes that his son can do better and not beat people for trivial matters. This behavior is wrong.
