He started as an ordinary citizen, but miraculously became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Like emperors of past dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang killed many ministers who made meritorious service to the imperial court, many of whom followed his brother very early. Zhu Yuanzhang showed the emperor's callousness to the extreme.

Before answering the questions, let's learn about the ancient imperial chefs.

When it comes to the chef, the word that everyone can think of is tall and majestic. But the emperor's chef is not for ordinary people, because it is the food of a head of state after all, so you have to be careful.

The emperor's chef also needs to be selected at different levels, or it may be recommended by the previous chef.

First of all, the ancestors of the royal chef must be 18 generations of pure. Otherwise, if the chef was influenced by his ancestors and had the idea of murdering the emperor, it would endanger the country and the social stability and order of that country at that time.

Then, the food cooked by the chef needs to meet the emperor's appetite. If the emperor doesn't like his food, he will be brushed off. Moreover, the chef can't just make a cuisine, but must be able to make cuisines in various regions, so that the emperor can eat delicious food in various regions without going out, making the emperor happy, and the chef will be rewarded. The most important thing is that the chef must be proficient in nutrition collocation, so that the reasonable arrangement of the emperor's diet is more conducive to the emperor's health.

Of course, it is not easy to become a chef, not only through professional training, but also with the spirit of hard work. Moreover, the chef must have his own ideas to attract the emperor's taste.

Being a chef doesn't mean you can relax. If the emperor is tired of this heavy taste, that's not good. Therefore, the chef should constantly study new products, new tricks and new tastes, and also learn from the practices of foreign dishes and introduce them.

Moreover, the level of the chef also represents the diet level of that country, so we should be more strict with ourselves and constantly improve our level.

So what happened when Zhu Yuanzhang's son hit a cook?

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sealed the king for the first time, and sealed all the ten children (including a grandnephew) he had given birth to. The youngest was only a few months old and was still a baby. Eight years later, in the eleventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent his son, who had grown into a big boy, to his side and set off under the escort of civil and military officials and the general trend of the army. Zhu Yuanzhang said goodbye with tears.

The son's mother was very worried, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also very worried, so she ordered someone to record her son's life. On the way to Taiyuan, Zhu? He has a bad temper, gets angry easily, and the accompanying ministers are often reprimanded or even abused. These are all told to Zhu Yuanzhang in secret letters. Zhu Yuanzhang's complaints to the ministers just smiled and didn't take them seriously.

Later, in a letter, Zhu said? One day, because the food didn't taste right, Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly surprised by whipping all the accompanying cooks. Why is this?

Finally, in Zhu Yuanzhang's reply to his son, we found the answer. It turns out that since ancient times, many emperors have died of diligence. However, this attendance includes too many positions. In so many positions, Zhu Yuanzhang has no complaints about this man's beating. This man's name is Xu Xingzu. This man's occupation is the chef of the emperor, serving the emperor's diet every day.

Who is Xu Xingzu?

Xu Xingzu's background is very ordinary, just a cook, but Xu Xingzu is not ordinary. Although he is only a cook, he is the chef of Zhu Yuanzhang's family. He has been cooking for Zhu Yuanzhang since he became a master of the world.

Xu Xingzu's cooking is very good, and he is also very clear about some eating habits of Zhu Yuanzhang. Every time he cooks, Zhu Yuanzhang likes it and enjoys it every time. Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, became emperor, and also called Xu Xingzu into the palace and became a chef.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang teach his son a lesson?

In fact, for a house with supreme status, it is nothing for him to hit a cook.

But he is the emperor's cook, and the cook always takes care of her diet. If there is any dissatisfaction, he can poison it at any time. So it was also the last offence, so Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry and swore at his son's behavior.

Later, because of this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like the third son so much, and even thought about killing him. Later, after the maintenance of the prince, this son was treated leniently.

Summary: Zhu Yuanzhang's worry is not unreasonable. He was afraid that his son would be too arrogant and offend many people. Maybe he will die at the hands of this chef that day. It is no accident that Zhu Yuanzhang can sit on the throne of the emperor. He also has his own set of imperial skills. No matter how future generations evaluate Zhu Yuanzhang, Bian Xiao thinks that he has done a good job in rectifying the officialdom. At that time, the officialdom was clean and few people dared to take bribes, which is still worth learning by future generations.
