First of all, this question is not rigorous. There were more than 34 founding heroes in the early Ming Dynasty. And some founding heroes died of natural causes, not all of them were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. In fact, the questioner should mean that there are four founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty who are not suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang. At least during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, these four men had a happy ending: Tanghe, Pinghou Xi, Changxing Hou Gengbingwen and Wu Dinghou.

First, the number of heroes in the early Ming Dynasty, there are generally many statements. First, according to "Twenty-six Gongren Temple in the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Yuanzhang built Gongren Temple in Jiming Mountain in Nanjing in the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and * * * 2 1 hero was selected. "The statue of the deceased is empty."

Statement 2: According to the Ming History, Zhu Yuanzhang took refuge in Guo Zixing at the beginning of his army and led a small group of 24 people. These people are Zhu Yuanzhang's most primitive talent accumulation, because they are all from Huaixi, so they are called the twenty-four generals in Huaixi.

In addition, there are only 25 founding dukes, some of which are only 265,438+0 included in Gongren Temple, some of which are only 24 generals of Huaixi, and some of them are created with 65,438+050 knighthoods. But in any case, there were no 34 founding heroes in the Ming Dynasty.

Second, Zhu Yuanzhang suspected heroes, especially Hu Guan's prison. There are many people involved. Like Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the grassroots level, and his family had no strength or deterrence. Those heroes who rebelled against the world with him will inevitably be arrogant and extravagant after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Don't say that everyone is unfaithful, but it doesn't rule out that people who really write heroes begin to be unfaithful, such as Prime Minister Hu, who really wants to rebel and make trouble. Later, the famous navy general did contribute to Gao Zhen, and the key prince Zhu Biao died. Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that no one in the younger generation could control these heroes. So through Hulan's imprisonment, he was implicated.

From the perspective of stable rule, these heroes did pose a serious threat to the long-term stability of the dynasty. The emperor is cruel and ruthless, and he is even more powerful. Those heroes failed to restrain their words and deeds, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very suspected. Many of the founding heroes in the early Ming Dynasty ended badly. But not everyone was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and some died of natural causes, but they may be deeply suspicious and worried all day long. But some people live relatively peacefully.

Three, the four most stable endings of Zhu Yuanzhang's period: Tanghe, Zhu Yuanzhang's little boy, followed Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning and made a lot of contributions. But he keeps a low profile and can also grasp Zhu Yuanzhang's psychology. He did not covet power and rushed back. Therefore, Tanghe took the initiative to hand over the military power, saying that he would return to his hometown to support the elderly and not be powerful. Zhu Yuanzhang was very moved. Although he accepted Tang He's resignation, he didn't mistreat him. Build him a mansion, reward him with rich property, and let him really stand on his own feet and be a rich man.

Second place: Guo Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, whose younger sister is Guo Ningfei, is deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his brother Guo Xing is also a founding hero. Zhu Yuanzhang loved me, loved my dog, and rewarded the Guo brothers a lot. Guo Xing is a little carried away and doesn't obey the discipline in the army. Guo Ying was loyal and cautious from beginning to end, maintaining the image of simple duty. Moreover, Guo Ying saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life. In the Panyang Lake War, Zhu Yuanzhang was ambushed by Chen Youliang. It was Guo Ying who was desperate to protect Zhu Yuanzhang and saved his life. After that, he never claimed credit, nor did he make it public. Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was honest and didn't take it personally.

Third place: Mu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, won the trust and love of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou, and regarded Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou as his biological parents. When Mu Ying was appointed to guard Yunnan, he not only eliminated the residual forces and quelled the rebellions in various places, but also made great contributions to the development and governance of Yunnan's border areas. Ma Huanghou died, and he cried until he vomited blood. In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao died. Mu Ying was seriously ill because of grief and died two months later at the age of 48. Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken when he heard the news, so he ordered people to bury him in Beijing, make him king of Qian Ning, and give "Zhao Jing" the ancestral temple.

Fourth place: Geng Bingwen's Zhu Yuanzhang tied for the first place with General Xu Da when he ranked the heroes. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang's footsteps carefully and never missed a step. It can be said that there is no objection to the place pointed out by Zhu Yuanzhang, so it is not suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang. Unfortunately, Judy later launched the battle of Jingnan, and Geng Bingwen's team, Zhu Yunwen, led a war with Judy, which once gave Judy a headache. After Judy acceded to the throne, she was ready to make trouble with Geng Bingwen. He worried about his family and committed suicide. But I still failed to save my sons' lives, and all three sons were killed.

Summary: All birds bow their heads and hide. In fact, it is not Zhu Yuanzhang's patent to cook dead rabbits and dogs. Many founding kings in past dynasties doubted heroes, but there may not be many people who killed heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, they have a bad reputation. This also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang only cares about the future generations, and he doesn't care about his historical reputation.
