Qiantang people carried the coffin prepared in advance, went shirtless, determined to win, and went straight to Fengtian Hall. All the ministers in the DPRK are worried about Qiantang. The attendants also flew in to report. I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered the guards of "Jinwu" to pull up their bows combatively, waiting for the arrival of Qiantang.

Seeing the despair of Qiantang, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry, and really let the "Jinwu" guards shoot a few arrows. Qiantang was shot in the left arm and right shoulder and chest, and was knocked down in the court, but he still struggled to climb to the throne of the emperor. Looking at Qiantang's painful and firm appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang finally flinched.

After this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang not only didn't punish Qiantang for it, but also ordered the doctor in the Imperial Hospital to treat the arrow wound carefully for him. In the second year, Zhu Yuanzhang, who calmed down, wrote a letter saying, "Mencius distinguished heresy from evil spirits and invented the way of Confucius, so that he could enjoy it as before." It is believed that he reluctantly invited Mencius' memorial tablet back.

Extended data:

Among the ancient thinkers in China, people-oriented thought is the most prominent in Mencius. He has a famous saying: "The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the light." Mencius believes that "land, people and politics" are the "three treasures" of a country. Whoever can protect the people will surely be king.

Because "protecting the people is king, there is no resistance." If you kill people, you are a lonely husband. Such people don't deserve this world. Even if you win the world, you will be defeated. Overthrowing such a son of heaven is not an act of regicide, just like overthrowing Yin He's rule by "killing a lady", it is killing the people.

Mencius said, "There is a way in the world. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. " It means that those who win the world and lose the hearts of the people will lose the world. On the other hand, people who can't get the world will get the world as long as they get the support of the people. So, it depends on whether Qiu Min is the son of heaven, the son of heaven is a vassal, and the vassal is a doctor. In other words, Qiu Min is more important than the son of heaven.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who often read the Confucian classic Mencius, was unhappy when he saw these contents, so bad luck inevitably fell on Mencius.
